Restricted Share Units Restricted Share Units means Restricted Share Units granted to Participant under the Plan subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine at the time of issuance.
Restricted Stock Units Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) as of the Grant Date. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share of Common Stock if the Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable and such Shares are delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. The Grantee is required to pay no cash consideration for the grant of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Restricted Stock Units and related rights are nontransferable as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) the Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture in the event the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates in certain circumstances, as specified in Section 6 of this Agreement, (iii) sales of Shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the Company’s policies regulating trading by Employees and Consultants, including any applicable “blackout” or other designated periods in which sales of Shares are not permitted, (iv) Shares delivered in settlement will be subject to any recoupment or “clawback” policy of the Company, regardless of whether such recoupment or “clawback” policy is applied with prospective or retroactive effect, and (v) any entitlement to dividend equivalents will be in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. The extent to which the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.
Restricted Shares Employee hereby accepts the Restricted Shares when issued and agrees with respect thereto as follows:
Equity Grants The Employee shall be granted as soon as practicable on or after the Effective Date, a stock option to purchase 734,900 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option”) (which option shall be issued as an incentive stock option to the maximum extent allowed under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”)) pursuant to the Company’s 2011 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Option shall be granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Twenty-Five percent (25%) of the Option shall be vested one year from the Effective Date and the remaining portion of such Option shall vest in equal monthly installments over a thirty-six (36) month period commencing on the first day of the month one year following the Effective Date, subject to continued employment by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) or if a termination of the Employee occurs within two (2) months prior thereto, then the vesting of all equity then owned by the Employee shall accelerate with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the unvested shares. In lieu of the Option at the request of the Employee, the Company shall issue restricted common stock. Restricted common stock will be issued at par value. If the equity to be issued is restricted common stock and not stock options, the number of shares of restricted common stock to be issued shall be calculated by determining the black scholes value of the grant as if it had been issued solely as stock options and dividing such number by the then current fair market value of the Company’s common stock so as to provide no additional benefit to the Employee for the non-payment of the exercise price. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that effective as of the date of the grant of the equity as set forth in the preceding paragraph, option agreement No. SP-0040 granted by the Company to the Employee as of April 30, 2011 shall be terminated and of no further force and effect. The Company acknowledges that any other options previously granted to the Employee that vest based upon the Employee providing consulting services to the Company shall continue to vest upon its terms as long as the Employee is providing services as a director, consultant or employee of the Company and that the definition of “cause” applicable to all such option agreements shall be the definition set forth herein and not as set forth in the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.
Rights as Shareholder; Dividend Equivalents 6.1 The Participant shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units vest and are settled by the issuance of such Common Shares. Upon and following the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Participant shall be the record owner of the Common Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until such shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the Company (including voting rights). 6.2 In the event that the Company pays any cash dividends on its Common Shares between the Grant Date and the date when the Restricted Stock Units are settled in accordance with Section 7 hereof or are forfeited, the Participant’s Account shall be credited on the date such dividend is paid to shareholders with an amount equal to all cash dividends that would have been paid to the Participant if one Common Share had been issued on the Grant Date for each Restricted Stock Unit granted to the Participant (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to the Participant’s Account and interest may be credited on the amount of cash Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s Account at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s Account shall be subject to the same vesting and other restrictions as the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable and shall be paid on the same date that the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable are settled in accordance with Section 7 hereof. Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant’s Account shall be distributed in cash or, at the discretion of the Committee, in Common Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the Dividend Equivalents and interest, if any. Any accumulated and unpaid Dividend Equivalents attributable to Restricted Stock Units that are cancelled will not be paid and will be immediately forfeited upon cancellation of the Restricted Stock Units.
Settlement of Restricted Stock Units (a) The Grantee shall receive payment, subject to satisfaction of the Grantee's tax withholding obligations as described below, with respect to such vested Restricted Stock Units in the form of shares of Company Stock on the date that the Restricted Stock Units become vested and nonforfeitable. However, if a scheduled issuance date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or U.S. federal holiday, such issuance date shall instead fall on the next following day that the principal executive offices of the Company are open for business. The Grantee is not required to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if required) as a condition to settlement and payment of the Restricted Stock Units. The Company will issue to the Grantee, in settlement of the Grantee's vested Restricted Stock Units and subject to the provisions of subsection 5(b) below, the number of whole shares of Company Stock that equals the number of whole Restricted Stock Units that become vested, and such vested Restricted Stock Units will terminate and cease to be outstanding upon such issuance of the shares of Company Stock. Upon issuance of such shares, the Company will determine the form of delivery (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) and may deliver such shares of Company Stock on the Grantee's behalf electronically to the Company's designated stock plan administrator or such other broker-dealer as the Company may choose at its sole discretion, within reason. (b) All obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to the rights of the Company or the Grantee’s employer as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable. Regardless of any action the Company or the Grantee’s employer takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Grantee (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Grantee’s employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Grantee’s employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of shares of Company Stock upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of shares of Company Stock acquired pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Grantee’s employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Grantee’s employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Grantee authorizes the Company and/or the Grantee’s employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Grantee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Grantee by the Company and/or the Grantee’s employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of shares of Company Stock acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Grantee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (iii) withholding in shares of Company Stock to be issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units. If the Grantee is subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company elects to satisfy the obligations by withholding in shares of Company Stock, the Grantee is advised to consult with his or her personal legal, tax, or financial advisor. To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Company Stock, for tax purposes, the Grantee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Company Stock subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Company Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan. Finally, the Grantee shall pay to the Company or the Grantee’s employer, as the case may be, any amount of Tax- Related Items that the Company or the Grantee’s employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Grantee’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Company Stock or the proceeds of the sale of shares of Company Stock if the Grantee fails to comply with the Grantee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) the Grantee is subject to the Company's policy permitting employees to sell shares of Company Stock only during certain "window" periods, in effect from time to time or the Grantee is otherwise prohibited from selling shares of Company Stock in the public market and any shares of Company Stock covered by the Grantee's Restricted Stock Units are scheduled to be issued on a day (the "Original Distribution Date") that does not occur during an open "window period" applicable to the Grantee, as determined by the Company in accordance with such policy, or does not occur on a date when the Grantee is otherwise permitted to sell shares of Company Stock in the open market, and (ii) the Company elects not to satisfy its tax withholding obligations by withholding shares of Company Stock from the Grantee's distribution and such Tax-Related Items have not otherwise been satisfied in accordance with Section 5(b), then, at the Company’s election, such shares of Company Stock may not be issued and delivered on such Original Distribution Date and shall instead be issued and delivered on the first business day of the next occurring open "window period" applicable to the Grantee pursuant to such policy (regardless of whether the Grantee is still providing continuous services at such time) or the next business day when the Grantee is not prohibited from selling shares of Company Stock in the open market, but in no event later than the fifteenth day of the third calendar month of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Original Distribution Date occurs. In all cases, the issuance and delivery of shares of Company Stock under this Agreement is intended to comply with U.S. Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) and shall be construed and administered in such a manner. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in no event shall the Board exercise its discretion to accelerate the payment or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units where such payment or settlement constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of section 409A of the Code unless, and solely to the extent that, such accelerated payment or settlement is permissible under U.S. Treas. Reg. § 1.409A- 3(j)(4) or any successor provision. (d) The obligation of the Company to deliver Company Stock shall be subject to the condition that if at any time the Board shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Company Stock upon any securities exchange or under any state, federal or foreign law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of shares of Company Stock, the shares of Company Stock may not be issued in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board. The issuance of shares of Company Stock to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement is subject to any applicable taxes and other laws or regulations of the United States or of any state or U.S. or foreign government having jurisdiction thereof.
Grant of Restricted Share Units Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant [ ] Class A restricted share units (the “RSUs”).

The Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of the property so distributed and deposited, in such amounts and in such manner (including public or private sale) as the Depositary may deem practicable or necessary to satisfy any taxes (including applicable interest and penalties) and other governmental charges applicable to the distribution. (c) If (i) the Company does not request the Depositary to make such distribution to Holders or requests the Depositary not to make such distribution to Holders, (ii) the Depositary does not receive satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.7 hereof or (iii) the Depositary determines that all or a portion of such distribution is not reasonably practicable or feasible, the Depositary shall endeavor to sell or cause such property to be sold in a public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper and shall distribute the net proceeds, if any, of such sale received by the Depositary (net of applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and/or a division or Affiliate(s) of the Depositary and taxes and/or governmental charges) to the Holders as of the ADS Record Date upon the terms of Section 4.1 hereof. If the Depositary is unable to sell such property, the Depositary may dispose of such property in any way it deems reasonably practicable under the circumstances for nominal or no consideration and Holders and Beneficial Owners shall have no rights thereto or arising therefrom.
