Performance Conditions The Shares shall be issuable only if (and to the extent) that the Performance Criteria, set forth herein, are satisfied during the Performance Period. The Controller of the Company and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company shall certify whether, and to what extent, the Performance Criteria have been achieved. If the minimum performance is not met, no Shares shall be issued and the Award shall be forfeited.
Performance Condition Notwithstanding the vesting schedule stated in the Award Notification, your Restricted Shares shall not vest unless the Company achieves positive Adjusted Net Earnings in any fiscal year during the term of the Award. “Adjusted Net Earnings” means net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP as publicly reported by the Company for a fiscal year, adjusted to eliminate the following: (1) the cumulative effect of changes in GAAP; (2) gains and losses from discontinued operations; (3) extraordinary gains or losses; and (4) any other unusual or nonrecurring gains or losses which are separately identified and quantified, including merger related charges.
Vesting; Forfeiture (a) Subject to the Participant’s continued employment or service through the applicable vesting date and except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the Award shall vest at the time(s) set forth on the signature page hereto. The Administrator has authority to determine whether and to what degree the Award shall be deemed vested.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) herein, with respect to Employees and Consultants, in the event that the Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated due to a Qualifying Termination, then a pro-rata portion of the unvested Shares subject to the Award as of each applicable vesting date, determined as of the date of the Qualifying Termination in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(b), shall be deemed vested. The pro-rata portion of the unvested Shares subject to the Award that shall be deemed vested as of each applicable vesting date shall be determined by multiplying the total number of the unvested Shares subject to vesting on the applicable vesting date, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days from the Date of Grant through the date of the Qualifying Termination, and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days in the period commencing on the Date of Grant and ending on the applicable vesting date. The remaining unvested Shares subject to the Award shall be forfeited as of the date of the Qualifying Termination.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) herein, with respect to Directors, in the event that the Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated due to death or Disability, then the Award shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, become fully vested effective as of the Participant’s Termination Date.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) herein, in the event of a Change of Control, then the Award shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, become vested as follows:
(i) To the extent that the successor or surviving company in the Change of Control event does not assume or substitute for the Award (or in which the Company is the ultimate parent corporation and does not continue the Award) on substantially similar terms or with substantially equivalent economic benefits (as determined by the Administrator) as Awards outstanding under the Plan immediately prior to the Change of Control event, the Award shall become fully vested as of the date of the Change of Control.
(ii) Further, in the event that the Award is substituted, assumed or continued as provided in Section 3(d)(i) herein, the Award will nonetheless become vested if the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company and its Affiliates without Cause or by the Participant with Good Reason within six months before (in which case vesting shall not occur until the effective date of the Change of Control) or one year after the effective date of a Change of Control (in which case vesting shall occur as of the Participant’s Termination Date).
(e) If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated for any reason other than a Change of Control, a Qualifying Termination with respect to Employees and Consultants, or death or disability with respect to Directors as provided herein (including but not limited to a termination for Cause), the unvested portion of the Award shall immediately terminate and the Participant shall have no rights with respect to the Award or the Shares underlying the unvested portion of the Award.
Safe Conditions Whenever an employee reports a condition which the employee feels represents a violation of safety or health rules and regulations or which is an unreasonable hazard to persons or property, such conditions shall be promptly investigated. The appropriate administrator shall reply to the concern, in writing, if the employee's concern is communicated in writing.
Restrictions; Forfeiture The Restricted Shares are restricted in that they may not be sold, transferred or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until these restrictions are removed or expire as described in Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement. The Restricted Shares are also restricted in the sense that they may be forfeited to the Company (the “Forfeiture Restrictions”). You hereby agree that if the Restricted Shares are forfeited, as provided in Section 6, the Company shall have the right to deliver the Restricted Shares to the Company’s transfer agent for, at the Company’s election, cancellation or transfer to the Company.
Vesting Requirements The vesting of this Award (other than pursuant to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances as provided in Section 3 below or vesting pursuant to Section 6 below) shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in each of subsections A and B, as applicable, and, in each case, subsection C of this Section 2:
Forfeiture Events In addition to the rights available to the Company under Section 3 above, upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 11.2 of the Plan (a “Forfeiture Event”), you, without any further action by the Company or you, shall forfeit, as of the first day of any such Forfeiture Event:
(a) all rights and interest to these Units;
(b) any Shares received in settlement of these Units then owned by you or by another person for your benefit; and
(c) any and all profits realized by you, on an after-tax basis, pursuant to any sales or transfer of any Shares received in settlement of these Units within the six (6) month period prior to the date of such Forfeiture Event. Additionally, the Company shall have the right to issue a stop transfer order and other appropriate instructions and other documents implementing the above-described forfeiture to its transfer agent, Cede & Co., the depository or any of its nominees, and/or any other person with respect to these Units and the Shares, and the Company further shall be entitled to reimbursement from you of any fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Company in enforcing the Company’s rights under this Section 4. By accepting this Restricted Stock Unit Award, you hereby consent to a deduction from any amounts the Company owes to you from time to time (including amounts owed to you as compensation as well as any other amounts owed to you by the Company), to the extent of any amounts that you owe to the Company under this Section 4. Whether or not the Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount you owe to the Company, calculated as set forth above, you agree to pay immediately the unpaid balance to the Company. You hereby grant the Company a proxy on your behalf, and you hereby agree to execute any documents necessary or appropriate to carry out the foregoing.
Qualifying Conditions In addition to any other compensation earned, any employee who is on the payroll of the Company on any of the foregoing recognized statutory holidays will be granted eight (8) hours' pay at the straight time rate of the employee's regular job, subject to compliance with all of the conditions (a) to (f) set forth below:
(a) The employee must have been on the payroll for not less than the sixty (60) days just preceding the holiday and must have previously qualified for a statutory holiday as provided in (d) below, and
(b) The employee must have worked at least one (1) day during the sixty (60)- day qualifying period just preceding the holiday, and
(c) The employee must have worked their scheduled work day before, and their scheduled work day after, such holiday, unless failure to work their scheduled work day before or after the holiday was due to any of the following events:
(i) When the employee is on their regular authorized paid vacation;
(ii) When the employee is unable to work by reason of an industrial accident as recognized by the Workers' Compensation Board or non-occupational sickness or injury;
(iii) When the operation in which the employee is engaged is curtailed or discontinued by the decision of the Company and which curtailment or discontinuance changes or eliminates the employee's scheduled work day before, or their scheduled work day after, such holiday;
(iv) When a trade in shifts agreed upon between employees and approved in advance by the company results in a temporary change of the scheduled work day before, or the scheduled work day after, the holiday, provided the employee works the shift agreed upon;
(v) When the employee is on a leave of absence authorized by the Company.
(d) The employee who has been on the payroll for at least sixty (60) days but who has not previously qualified for a statutory holiday will qualify for the holiday if he has worked a minimum of one hundred eighty (180) hours during the sixty (60)- day qualifying period just preceding the holiday and meets the requirements of (b) and (c) above.
(e) Time lost as the result of an accident as recognized by the Workers' Compensation Board, suffered during the course of employment, or time lost as a result of non-occupational sickness or injury shall be considered as time worked for the purpose of qualifying for a recognized paid holiday, it being understood that the employee will only be entitled to this credit for time while on Workers' Compensation or non-occupational sickness or injury for a period of up to but not exceeding one (1) year from the date of their sickness or injury.
(f) It is understood and agreed, however, that an employee shall not receive the above provided holiday pay if they have agreed to work on such holiday and fails or refuses to work, except in the case where bona fide sickness, or other bona fide reason approved by the Company, prevents them working on such holiday.
Vesting Conditions Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Award Agreement. A Stock Unit Award Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Stock Units shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.
Change in Condition There occurs any event or a change in the condition or affairs, financial or otherwise, of Borrower which, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, impairs Lender's security or ability of Borrower to discharge its obligations hereunder or which impairs the rights of Lender in such Collateral.
