Acknowledgement of Discretionary Nature of the Plan; No Vested Rights By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion granted Restricted Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who may be Participants of the Company or its subsidiaries throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any of its subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Restricted Stock Units are granted on the assumption and condition that the Restricted Stock Units and the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Participant understands that this grant would not be made to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referenced above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason the Restricted Stock Units shall be null and void. The Participant understands and agrees that, as a condition of the Restricted Stock Units, unless otherwise provided in Section 4 (Termination of Employment) of the Agreement, any unvested Restricted Stock Units as of the date the Participant ceases active employment will be forfeited without entitlement to the underlying Shares or to any amount of indemnification in the event of termination of employment or service. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in the Agreement regarding the impact of a termination on the Restricted Stock Units.
Contractual Rights to Benefits This Agreement establishes and vests in the Executive a contractual right to the benefits to which he is entitled hereunder. However, nothing herein contained shall require or be deemed to require, or prohibit or be deemed to prohibit, the Company to segregate, earmark, or otherwise set aside any funds or other assets, in trust or otherwise, to provide for any payments to be made or required hereunder.
Administration of the Plan The Plan shall be administered by the Option Committee. The Option Committee shall have the authority granted to it under this section and under each other section of the Plan. The Option Committee shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to determine the type or types of Awards to be granted pursuant to the Plan. Such Awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other type of Award. In accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Plan and Rule 16b-3, the Option Committee shall select the Eligible Persons to receive Awards, shall determine (i) the number of shares of Common Stock, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to be subject to each Award, (ii) the time at which each Award is to be granted, (iii) the extent to which the transferability of shares of Common Stock issued or transferred pursuant to any Award is restricted, (iv) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, (v) whether to accelerate the time of exercisability of any Award that has been granted, (vi) the period or periods and extent of exercisability of the Options, and (vii) the manner in which an Option becomes exercisable. In addition, the Option Committee shall fix such other terms of each Option, Restricted Stock Award and Restricted Stock Units as the Option Committee may deem necessary or desirable. The Option Committee shall determine the form, terms and provisions of each Agreement to evidence each Award (which need not be identical). The Option Committee from time to time may adopt such rules and regulations for carrying out the purposes of the Plan as it may deem proper and in the best interests of the Company. The Option Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings and those minutes shall be available to every member of the Board. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Option Committee in good faith (including determinations of Fair Market Value) shall be final and binding upon all Participants, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Option Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Option Committee shall, in addition to rights they may have if Directors of the Company, be fully protected by the Company with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation.
No Entitlement or Claims for Compensation By accepting this Agreement, you hereby acknowledge and agree as follows:
Nondiscretionary Details The Custodian shall attend to all nondiscretionary details in connection with the sale or purchase or other administration of Investments, except as otherwise directed by an Instruction.
Benefits of the Administration Agreement Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the Owner Trustee, any separate trustee or co-trustee appointed under Section 6.10 of the Indenture and the Noteholders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Owner Trustee is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and is entitled to the rights and benefits hereunder and may enforce the provisions hereof as if it were a party hereto.
Participant Loans This Section 10.03[E] specifically authorizes the Trustee to make loans on a nondiscriminatory basis to a Participant or to a Beneficiary in accordance with the loan policy established by the Advisory Committee, provided: (1) the loan policy satisfies the requirements of Section 9.04; (2) loans are available to all Participants and Beneficiaries on a reasonably equivalent basis and are not available in a greater amount for Highly Compensated Employees than for other Employees; (3) any loan is adequately secured and bears a reasonable rate of interest; (4) the loan provides for repayment within a specified time; (5) the default provisions of the note prohibit offset of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit prior to the time the Trustee otherwise would distribute the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit; (6) the amount of the loan does not exceed (at the time the Plan extends the loan) the present value of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit; and (7) the loan otherwise conforms to the exemption provided by Code Section 4975(d)(1). If the joint and survivor requirements of Article VI apply to the Participant, the Participant may not pledge any portion of his Accrued Benefit as security for a loan made after August 18, 1985, unless, within the 90 day period ending on the date the pledge becomes effective, the Participant's spouse, if any, consents (in a manner described in Section 6.05 other than the requirement relating to the consent of a subsequent spouse) to the security or, by separate consent, to an increase in the amount of security. If the Employer is an unincorporated trade or business, a Participant who is an Owner-Employee may not receive a loan from the Plan, unless he has obtained a prohibited transaction exemption from the Department of Labor. If the Employer is an "S Corporation," a Participant who is a shareholder-employee (an employee or an officer) who, at any time during the Employer's taxable year, owns more than 5%, either directly or by attribution under Code Section 318(a)(1), of the Employer's outstanding stock may not receive a loan from the Plan, unless he has obtained a prohibited transaction exemption from the Department of Labor. If the Employer is not an unincorporated trade or business nor an "S Corporation," this Section 10.03[E] does not impose any restrictions on the class of Participants eligible for a loan from the Plan. [F] INVESTMENT IN QUALIFYING EMPLOYER SECURITIES AND QUALIFYING EMPLOYER REAL PROPERTY. The investment options in this Section 10.03[F] include the ability to invest in qualifying Employer securities or qualifying Employer real property, as defined in and as limited by ERISA. If the Employer's Plan is a Nonstandardized profit sharing plan, it may elect in its Adoption Agreement to permit the aggregate investments in qualifying Employer securities and in qualifying Employer real property to exceed 10% of the value of Plan assets.
Non-Ministerial Matters; Exceptions to Administrator Duties (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to matters that in the reasonable judgment of the Administrator are non-ministerial, the Administrator shall not take any action unless, within a reasonable time before the taking of such action, the Administrator shall have notified the Issuer of the proposed action and the Issuer shall not have withheld consent or provided an alternative direction. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “non-ministerial matters” shall include, without limitation:
Discretionary Sales The Collateral Manager may direct the Trustee to sell (in addition to any sales pursuant to clauses (a) through (e) above) any Collateral Obligation to any party other than ORCC at any time other than during a Restricted Trading Period if after giving effect to such sale, the Aggregate Principal Balance of all Collateral Obligations sold as described in this Section 12.1(g) during the preceding period of 12 calendar months (or, for the first 12 calendar months after the Closing Date, during the period commencing on the Closing Date) is not greater than 25% of the Collateral Principal Amount as of the first day of such 12 calendar month period (or as of the Closing Date, as the case may be).
Discretionary Nature of Plan The Plan is discretionary and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by the Company at any time, in its discretion. The grant of the Option in this Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any Options or other Awards in the future. Future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Any amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Participant’s employment with the Company.
