Assignment of Award Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee and as provided in the immediately following paragraph, the Participant’s rights under the Plan and this Agreement are personal, and no assignment or transfer of the Participant’s rights under and interest in this Award may be made by the Participant other than by a domestic relations order. This Award is payable during his lifetime only to the Participant, or in the case of the Participant being mentally incapacitated, this Award shall be payable to his guardian or legal representative. The Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (the “Beneficiary”) to whom the Award under this Agreement, if any, will pass upon the Participant’s death and may change such designation from time to time by filing with the Company a written designation of Beneficiary on the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or such other form as may be prescribed by the Committee; provided that no such designation shall be effective unless so filed prior to the death of the Participant and no such designation shall be effective as of a date prior to receipt by the Company. The Participant may change his Beneficiary without the consent of any prior Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Company. The last such designation that the Company receives in accordance with the foregoing provisions will be controlling. Following the Participant’s death, the Award, if any, will pass to the designated Beneficiary and such person will be deemed the Participant for purposes of any applicable provisions of this Agreement. If no such designation is made or if the designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant’s death, the Award shall pass by will or, if none, then by the laws of descent and distribution.
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.
Grant of Award The Grantee is hereby granted a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan (this “Award”), subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, with respect to ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED (187,500) restricted shares of Common Stock (the “Performance-Based Shares”). Restricted shares of Common Stock covered by this Award shall be represented by a stock certificate registered in the Grantee’s name, or by uncertificated shares designated for the Grantee in book entry form on the records of the Company’s transfer agent subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement. Any stock certificate issued shall bear the following or a similar legend: “The transferability of this certificate and the shares of Common Stock represented hereby are subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions (including forfeiture) contained in the Pier 1 Imports, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, as restated and amended, and the Restricted Stock Award Agreement entered into between the registered owner and Pier 1 Imports, Inc. A copy of such plan and agreement is on file in the offices of Pier 1 Imports, Inc., 000 Xxxx 0 Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 00000.” Any Common Stock certificates or book-entry uncertificated shares evidencing such shares shall be held in custody by the Company or, if specified by the Committee, with a third party custodian or trustee, until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and, as a condition of this Award, the Grantee shall deliver a stock power, duly endorsed in blank, relating to any certificated restricted shares of Common Stock covered by this Award.
Payment of Award (a) Subject to §6(b), the total number of Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) which vest, if any, in accordance with §3, §4, or §5 of this Unit Agreement (the “Vested Units”) shall be paid in an equivalent number of shares of Stock on the specified dates, as follows: 33⅓% shall be paid on the first anniversary of the Grant Date; 33⅓% shall be paid on the second anniversary of the Grant Date; 33⅓% shall be paid on the third anniversary of the Grant Date. Payments made pursuant to this sub-paragraph (a) will deemed to be made on the specified date if such payment are made within the sixty (60) day period which commences immediately following the specified date.
(b) Notwithstanding the specified dates set forth in §6(a), the total number of Vested Units shall be distributed in an equivalent number of shares of Stock upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the date of the Grantee’s death, (ii) the date of the Grantee’s Disability, or (iii) if prior to the date a Grantee becomes eligible for Retirement, the date of the Grantee’s Separation from Service. In the event payment is made pursuant to this sub-paragraph (b) such payment shall be made within the sixty (60) day period which commences immediately following the date of the applicable event.
(c) Except as set forth below, the Vested Units shall be distributed in an equivalent number of shares of Stock; provided, however, the Grantee’s right to any fractional share of Stock shall be paid in cash. In the event the Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) vest following a Change in Control pursuant to § 4, the Vested Units shall be paid in cash, and the amount of the payment for each Vested Unit to be paid in cash will equal the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of the Change in Control.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, distributions may not be made to a Key Employee upon a Separation from Service before the date which is six (6) months after the date of the Key Employee’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Key Employee). Any payments that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid in the seventh month following the Grantee’s Separation from Service.
(e) The Grantee shall be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent Right for each Vested Unit. At the same time that the Vested Units are paid, SunTrust shall pay each Dividend Equivalent Right in shares of Stock to the Grantee, provided, however, the Grantee’s right to any fractional share of Stock shall be paid in cash. In the event the Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to §4, related Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be paid in cash.
(f) The Grantee will not have any shareholder rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, including the right to vote or receive dividends, unless and until shares of Stock are issued to the Grantee as payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units.
Assignment of Option Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee, the rights of the Optionee under the Plan and this Agreement are personal; no assignment or transfer of the Optionee’s rights under and interest in this Option may be made by the Optionee otherwise than by will, by beneficiary designation, by the laws of descent and distribution or by a qualified domestic relations order; and this Option is exercisable during his lifetime only by the Optionee, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. After the death of the Optionee, exercise of the Option shall be permitted only by the Optionee’s designated beneficiary or, in the absence of a designated beneficiary, the Optionee’s executor or the personal representative of the Optionee’s estate (or by his assignee, in the event of a permitted assignment) to the extent that the Option is exercisable on or after the date of the Optionee’s death, as set forth in Sections 2(a) and 3(d) hereof.
