Common use of Distribution Equivalent Rights Clause in Contracts

Distribution Equivalent Rights. A corresponding distribution equivalent right (“DER”) is hereby granted in tandem with each PSU that may become vested pursuant to this Award, which DER shall remain outstanding from the Date of Grant until the earlier of the settlement or forfeiture of the PSU to which the DER corresponds. Each vested DER entitles the Grantee to receive payment, subject to and in accordance with this Award, in an amount equal to any distributions paid by NIL in respect of the Common Share underlying the PSU to which such DER relates. NIL shall establish, with respect to each PSU that may become vested pursuant to this Award, a separate DER bookkeeping account for such PSU (a “DER Account”), which shall be credited (without interest) on the applicable distribution dates with an amount equal to any distributions paid during the period that such PSU remains outstanding with respect to the Common Share underlying the PSU to which such DER relates. On the Performance Determination Date, the DER Account shall be adjusted to account for any Earned PSUs in excess of the Target PSUs granted hereunder, and DERs shall be paid in respect of such excess Earned PSUs in accordance with the terms of this Section 5 as if such DERs had been credited as of the time distributions were paid by NIL with respect to such excess Earned PSUs. Upon the vesting of a PSU, the DER (and the DER Account) with respect to such vested PSU shall also become vested. Similarly, upon the forfeiture of a PSU, the DER (and the DER Account) with respect to such forfeited PSU shall also be forfeited. DERs shall not entitle the Grantee to any payments ​ relating to distributions paid after the earlier to occur of the applicable PSU settlement date or the forfeiture of the PSU underlying such DER.
