OTHER KCPL STOCK AWARDS Sample Clauses

OTHER KCPL STOCK AWARDS. Each outstanding stock award or other grant under any KCPL benefit or compensation plan other than the KCPL Stock Options (the "KCPL Stock Awards") shall constitute an award based upon the same number of shares of Western Resources Common Stock as the holder of such KCPL Stock Award would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger in accordance with Article II hereof had such holder been the absolute owner, immediately before the Effective Time, of the shares of Common Stock on which such KCPL Stock Award is based, and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as governed such KCPL Stock Award immediately before the Effective Time (the "Surviving Corporation Stock Awards"). At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall assume each agreement relating to the KCPL Stock Awards. The Merger shall not be treated as an event which shall affect the period for exercising KCPL Stock Awards or provide for any cash payment by KCPL to any holder of a KCPL Stock Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not be construed, interpreted or applied so as to cause a duplication of any benefit to any individual. If required to allow the Surviving Corporation to account for the transactions to be effected pursuant to this Agreement as a pooling-of-interests in accordance with GAAP and applicable SEC regulations, KCPL shall take all necessary action, including obtaining any applicable consents from award holders, to provide for the occurrence of the foregoing.

  • Restricted Stock Awards (i) The restricted shares of common stock of the Company awarded under this paragraph (c) (collectively, the “Restricted Shares”) shall be awarded pursuant to and, to the extent not expressly inconsistent herewith, governed by the Company stock option and incentive compensation plan as in effect as the effective date of the respective award (the “Stock Plan”). All grants described in this paragraph (c) shall be conditioned upon the approval of the shareholders of the Company at the annual shareholders’ meeting in 2008 of (A) an increase in the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Stock Plan, or (B) a new or amended plan authorizing grants of restricted shares of the Company. The number of Restricted Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Stock Plan for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like. Until and only to the extent the Restricted Shares shall vest as provided herein, all stock certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares owned by Employee shall be held by the Company for the benefit of Employee. As and to the extent any Restricted Shares shall vest as provided herein, the Company will promptly deliver certificates representing such vested shares to Employee. (ii) Provided Employee shall continue to be employed hereunder, effective on July 15, 2008, the Company shall award to Employee 5,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company. The restricted shares awarded as provided in the preceding sentence shall be referred to as the “Fixed Restricted Shares.” The Fixed Restricted Shares shall be subject to vesting as provided below. Provided Employee shall continue to be employed hereunder, one-fourth (1/4) of the Fixed Restricted Shares shall vest on June 1, 2009, an additional one-fourth (1/4) of the Fixed Restricted Shares shall vest on June 1, 2010, an additional one-fourth (1/4) of the Fixed Restricted Shares shall vest on June 1, 2011, and the final one-fourth (1/4) of the Fixed Restricted Shares shall vest on June 1, 2012. (iii) Provided Employee shall continue to be employed hereunder, and further provided that the applicable Annual Performance Award Test (as defined below) has been satisfied, on the Performance Award Date (as defined below) each year during the Term, commencing in 2009, the Company shall award to Employee that number of shares of common stock of the Company as is equal to $100,000 divided by the Performance Award Price (as defined below), with any fractional share resulting therefrom being rounded up to one whole share if 0.5 or more and eliminated if less than 0.5. For each year, the “Performance Award Date” shall be that date the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the immediately preceding calendar year. Satisfaction of the “Annual Performance Award Test” shall be determined as of each Performance Award Date and measured based upon the Company Net Income for the immediately preceding calendar year. The Annual Performance Award Test shall be satisfied for a calendar year if (A) the Annual Net Income Target for the calendar year being measured is at least ten percent (10%) higher than the actual Company Net Income for the immediately preceding calendar year, and (B) the actual Company Net Income for the calendar year being measured equals or exceeds ninety-five percent (95%) of the Annual Net Income Target for the calendar year being measured.

Any Restricted Shares awarded pursuant to this subparagraph (iii) shall be immediately vested in full on the respective date such shares are awarded.

  • Restricted Stock Shares of restricted stock granted to the Executive by the Company which have not become vested as of the date of termination of the Executive’s employment, as provided in Section 7(b), shall immediately become vested on a pro rata basis upon the Release becoming irrevocable. The number of such additional shares of restricted stock that shall become vested as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment shall be that number of additional shares that would have become vested through the date of such termination of employment at the rate(s) determined under the vesting schedule applicable to such shares had such vesting schedule provided for the accrual of vesting on a daily basis (based on a 365-day year). The pro rata amount of shares vesting through the date of non-renewal shall be calculated by multiplying the number of unvested shares scheduled to vest in each respective vesting year by the ratio of the number of days from the date of grant through the date of non-renewal, and the number of days from the date of grant through the original vesting date of the respective vesting tranche. Any shares of restricted stock remaining unvested after such pro rata acceleration of vesting shall automatically be reacquired by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the applicable restricted stock agreement, and the Executive shall have no further rights in such unvested portion of the restricted stock.
