Stock Awards “Stock Awards” means all stock options, restricted stock and such other awards granted pursuant to the Company’s stock option and equity incentive award plans or agreements and any shares of stock issued upon exercise thereof.
Performance Awards With respect to any Performance Award, the length of any Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be achieved during the Performance Period, the other terms and conditions of such Award, and the measure of whether and to what degree such Performance Goals have been attained will be determined by the Board.
Equity-Based Awards (a) Each award of phantom units that corresponds to Partnership Common Units and vests solely based on the passage of time (including any Seconded Employee Phantom Awards), whether vested or unvested (“Partnership Phantom Units”), that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, as of the Effective Time, be assumed by Parent and converted into a restricted unit award representing a contractual right to receive Parent Common Units or, in the case of Seconded Employees, the right to receive cash determined based on the value of Parent Common Units (each an “Assumed Restricted Unit Award”). Each such Assumed Restricted Unit Award shall be converted into a restricted unit award to receive a number of Parent Common Units (or the cash equivalent thereof, as applicable) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Partnership Common Units subject to such Partnership Phantom Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up or down to the nearest whole Parent Common Unit. Each Assumed Restricted Unit Award shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting, distribution equivalent rights and issuance) as were applicable to the Partnership Phantom Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time. (b) Each award of performance units that corresponds to Partnership Common Units, including Seconded Employee Performance Awards (each, a “Partnership Performance Award,” and together with the Partnership Phantom Units, the “Partnership Equity Awards”), that is outstanding and unvested as of the Effective Time, shall, as of the Effective Time, be measured as to performance as of the Effective Time (or a date reasonably proximate thereto) as determined in good faith by the GP Board and each such Partnership Performance Award shall, with respect to the number of Partnership Common Units that are considered earned with respect thereto based on the higher of actual performance or target shall, as of the Effective Time (the “Earned Performance Units”), be assumed by Parent and converted into an Assumed Restricted Unit Award, which shall have distribution equivalent rights and be eligible to vest solely based on continued service at the end of the performance period that was originally applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Earned Performance Units will vest upon a “qualifying termination” and, to the extent applicable, will incorporate the provisions related to termination due to “retirement,” as provided in the Partnership Phantom Unit Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Partnership Performance Awards granted in 2021, the number of Earned Performance Units shall be equal to the target number of units granted, regardless of performance. The number of Parent Common Units that are subject to such Assumed Restricted Unit Awards shall be equal to the number of Earned Performance Units with respect to the corresponding Partnership Performance Award, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up or down to the nearest whole Parent Common Unit. Any performance units that correspond to Partnership Common Units that are not Earned Performance Units shall, upon the Effective Time, automatically be cancelled for no consideration. (c) The General Partner shall take any and all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 5.6 and such transactions shall be subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
Stock-Based Awards The vesting of any stock-based compensation awards which constitute Section 409A Deferred Compensation and are held by the Executive, if the Executive is a Specified Employee, shall be accelerated in accordance with this Agreement to the extent applicable; provided, however, that the payment in settlement of any such awards shall occur on the Delayed Payment Date. Any stock based compensation which vests and becomes payable upon a Change in Control in accordance with Section 8(e)(i) shall not be subject to this Section 22(d).
Performance Share Awards On the Performance Share Vesting Date next following the Executive's date of death, the number of Performance Shares that shall become Vested Performance Shares shall be determined by multiplying (a) that number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Performance Share Agreement that would have become Vested Performance Shares had no such termination occurred; provided, however, in no case shall the number of Performance Shares that become Vested Performance Shares exceed 100% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth in the Performance Share Agreement, by (b) the ratio of the number of full months of the Executive's employment with the Company during the Performance Period (as defined in the Performance Share Agreement) to the number of full months contained in the Performance Period. Vested Common Shares shall be issued in settlement of such Vested Performance Shares on the Settlement Date next following the Executive’s date of death.
