Awards (1) The tribunal, in its award, shall set out its findings of law and fact, together with the reasons therefore, and may, at the request of a Contracting Party, award the following forms of relief:
Stock Rights In the event of a Change in Control, all restricted Company stock and all options, stock appreciation rights, and/or other stock rights held by Executive with respect to Company stock that are exempt from Section 409A (“Stock Rights”) which are not fully vested (and exercisable, if applicable) shall become fully vested and exercisable as of a time established by the Board, which shall be no later than a time preceding the Change in Control which allows Executive to exercise the Stock Rights and cause the stock acquired thereby to participate in the Change in Control transaction. If the Change in Control transaction is structured so that stock participating therein at one time is or may be treated differently from stock participating therein at a different time (e.g., a tender offer followed by a squeeze-out merger), the Board shall interpret this Subsection (d) to provide for the required vesting acceleration in a manner designed to allow Executive to exercise the Stock Rights and cause the stock acquired thereby to participate in the earliest portion of the Change in Control transaction. If the consummation of a Change in Control transaction is uncertain (e.g., a tender offer in which the tender of a minimum number of shares is a condition to closing, or a voted merger or proxy contest in which a minimum number of votes is a condition to closing), the Board shall apply this Subsection (d) by using its best efforts to determine if and when the Change in Control transaction is likely to close, and proceeding accordingly. To the extent necessary to implement this Subsection d), each agreement reflecting a Stock Right, and each plan, if any, pursuant to which a Stock Right is issued, if any, shall be deemed amended.
Stock Option Awards During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible for awards of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Options”), such Stock Options to be awarded in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee and in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Stock Option Plan, as such Stock Option Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated from time to time.
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.
Option Awards The Company represents and warrants to the Executive that all shares issued pursuant to any equity award granted to the Executive by the Company, upon issuance to the Executive, will be duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable. A sufficient number of shares for each such equity award will be properly reserved.
Performance Units Subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) hereof, the Committee may in its discretion grant Performance Units to any Eligible Person and shall evidence such grant in an Award Agreement that is delivered to the Participant which sets forth the terms and conditions of the Award.
Performance Shares The Performance Shares earned by the Grantee will be determined and delivered to the Grantee as soon as practicable subsequent to the determination of the Corporation’s financial results for the Performance Cycle and approval by the Plan Administrator. The corresponding shares of the Corporation’s common stock will be purchased on the open market.
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.
Vesting of Awards In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving or successor entity (or its parent corporation) may continue, assume or replace awards granted to the Executive under the terms of the 2013 Equity Plan that are outstanding as of the Change in Control, and such awards or replacements therefore shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms. If and to the extent that outstanding awards granted to the Executive under the terms of the 2013 Equity Plan are not continued, assumed or replaced in connection with a Change in Control, then the vesting of such awards shall be accelerated and such awards shall become immediately fully vested and, in the case of options, exercisable in full as of the Change in Control. With respect to outstanding awards granted to the Executive under the terms of the 2013 Equity Plan that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, the level of achievement of the performance-based vesting conditions shall be measured consistent with the original terms of the award to preserve the intent of the metrics, and to the extent performance can no longer be reasonably measured consistent with the original terms, the vesting of such awards shall be accelerated and such awards shall become immediately fully vested and, in the case of options, exercisable in full as of the Change in Control. The reference to "fully vested" in connection with any award subject to performance-based vesting conditions refers to vesting at the maximum level of achievement of the performance goal or goals under the award.
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).
