Payment of Awards The payment of the Award shall be made in shares of Common Stock. The payment of an Award shall be made within 70 days following the end of the Restricted Period.
Settlement of Awards Pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, the Corporation shall deliver to the Employee one Share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit included in the Award and, as applicable, one share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit that corresponds to an accrued dividend equivalent. Any vested Restricted Stock Units payable to the Employee (including Shares payable pursuant to Section 3 above) shall be paid solely in Shares. Any fractional Share will be rounded to the closest whole Share.
Payment of Award The Performance Shares that may become payable pursuant to this Award Agreement shall be based upon the highest performance determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 or, in the event of a Change in Control prior to the Final Measurement Date, based on performance at the level determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4. In other words, the attainment of multiple performance measures under this Award Agreement will not result in the payment of a cumulative number of Performance Shares for each performance measure achieved. Payment of the Award, to the extent earned, shall be made as follows:
Adjustment of Award (a) The Administrator shall have authority to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Award in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting TFC or any Affiliate, or the financial statements of TFC or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, if the Administrator determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Administrator, in order to comply with applicable law (including, without limitation, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) and any risk management requirements and/or policies adopted by TFC, retains the right at all times to decrease or terminate the Award and payments under the Plan, and any and all amounts payable under the Plan or paid under the Plan shall be subject to clawback, forfeiture, and reduction to the extent determined by the Administrator as necessary to comply with applicable law and/or policies adopted by TFC; and (ii) in the event any legislation, regulation(s), or formal or informal guidance require(s) any compensation payable under the Plan (including, without limitation, the Award) to be deferred, reduced, eliminated, or subjected to vesting, the Award shall be deferred, reduced, eliminated, paid in a different form or subjected to vesting or other restrictions as, and solely to the extent, required by such legislation, regulation(s), or formal or informal guidance.
Settlement of Award The Award, if earned in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be payable in whole shares of Common Stock. The total number of Shares that may be acquired upon vesting of the Award (or portion thereof) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. A certificate or certificates for the Shares subject to the Award or portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Participant or his or her beneficiary (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, other written evidence of ownership in accordance with Applicable Law shall be provided) promptly after, and only to the extent that, the Award or portion thereof has vested and been earned and is distributable. Shares of Common Stock or any other benefit subject to the Award shall, upon vesting of the Award, be issued and distributed to the Participant (or his or her beneficiary) no later than the later of (a) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third month following the Participant’s first taxable year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (b) the fifteenth (15th) day of the third month following the end of the Company’s first taxable year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or otherwise in accordance with Code Section 409A.
Equity-Based Awards (a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Company Stock Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or use commercially reasonable efforts to take such other actions (including obtaining any required consents) as may be required to effect the following:
(i) (A) prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding unvested Company Stock Option shall automatically accelerate so that each such Company Stock Option shall become fully exercisable for all shares of Company Common Stock at the time subject to such Company Stock Option and may be exercised by the holder thereof for any or all of such shares and (B) upon the Effective Time, all outstanding Company Stock Options shall be canceled, with the holder of each Company Stock Option becoming entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, an amount in cash equal to (x) the excess, if any, of the per share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option; provided that all amounts payable pursuant to this clause (i) shall be subject to any required withholding of taxes or proof of eligibility for exemption therefrom and shall be paid at or as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, without interest;
(ii) each share of Company Restricted Stock shall be adjusted as necessary to provide that the restrictions on such share shall lapse at the Effective Time, and at the Effective Time, each share of Company Restricted Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.01(c), subject to any applicable withholding pursuant to Section 2.02(h); and
(iii) make such other changes to the Company Stock Plans as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree are appropriate to give effect to the Merger.

Terms of Award The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in this paragraph 1:
Equity Incentive Awards The Executive shall be eligible to receive grants of equity-based long-term incentive awards, which may include options to purchase Company stock, performance or restricted stock units and Company restricted stock contributions to Company’s deferred compensation plan, or other equity-based awards. Such awards shall be determined in the discretion of the Board and the Executive shall be eligible for consideration for such awards in the same manner as other senior executive officers of the Company. In the event of a Change of Control in which the surviving or acquiring corporation does not assume the Executive’s outstanding equity-related awards (including options and equity-based awards granted both before and after the Effective Date) or substitute similar equity-related awards of substantially equivalent value, such equity-related awards shall immediately vest and become exercisable if the Executive’s service with the Company has not terminated before the effective date of the Change of Control; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall only apply if the Company is not the surviving corporation or if shares of the Company’s common stock are converted into or exchanged for other securities or cash.
Forfeiture of Awards The Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder (and gains earned or accrued in connection therewith) shall be subject to such generally applicable policies as to forfeiture and recoupment (including, without limitation, upon the occurrence of material financial or accounting errors, financial or other misconduct or Competitive Activity) as may be adopted by the Administrator or the Board from time to time and communicated to the Employee or as required by applicable law, and are otherwise subject to forfeiture or disgorgement of profits as provided by the Plan.
