  • Vesting of Restricted Shares The Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture to the Company until they become vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with this Section 2. While subject to forfeiture, the Restricted Shares may not be sold, pledged, assigned, otherwise encumbered or transferred in any manner, whether voluntarily or involuntarily by the operation of law, except to (i) an immediate family member or (ii) a trust or other estate-planning vehicle (collectively, the “Permitted Transferees”), so long as any such Permitted Transferee, as a condition to such transfer, agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Restricted Shares. (a) 100% of the Restricted Shares subject hereto shall become vested and non-forfeitable on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, provided the Grantee remains in continuous service with the Company through such date. (b) Upon cessation of the Service Relationship (hereinafter defined), any Restricted Shares which then remain forfeitable (determined after application of Section 2(c), below) will immediately and automatically, without any action on the part of the Company, be forfeited, and the Grantee will have no further rights with respect to those shares. (c) If the Service Relationship (as defined below) terminates due to the Grantee’s death, or if a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs during the Service Relationship, any otherwise unvested Restricted Shares will then become vested and non-forfeitable. Similarly, if the Service Relationship ceases due to a termination by the Company without “Cause”, due to the Grantee’s “Disability” or due to a resignation by the Grantee with “Good Reason” (each as defined in that certain Employment Agreement between the Grantee and the Company dated on or about the closing date of the Transaction (the “Employment Agreement”)), and the Grantee executes a release of claims in the form and manner described in Section 7(c)(iii) of the Employment Agreement within the timeframe established in the Employment Agreement, any otherwise unvested Restricted Shares will become vested and non-forfeitable when such release becomes irrevocable. (d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Service Relationship” means the Grantee’s employment or service with the Company or its parent or any subsidiary or Affiliate, whether in the capacity of an employee, director or a consultant. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Grantee’s Service Relationship shall not be deemed to have terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which the Grantee renders service to the Company or a transfer between locations of the Company, its parent or any subsidiary or Affiliate or a transfer between the Company, its parent, or any subsidiary or Affiliate, provided that there is no interruption or other termination of the Service Relationship. Subject to the foregoing and the following sentence, the Company, in its discretion, shall determine whether the Grantee’s Service Relationship has terminated and the effective date of such termination. The following events shall not be deemed a termination of the Service Relationship:

  • Vesting of Restricted Stock Units The restrictions and conditions of Section 1 of this Agreement shall lapse on the Vesting Date or Dates specified in the following schedule so long as the Grantee remains in a Business Relationship (as defined in Section 3 below) on such Dates. If a series of Vesting Dates is specified, then the restrictions and conditions in Section 1 shall lapse only with respect to the number of Restricted Stock Units specified as vested on such date. Incremental Number of Restricted Stock Units Vested Vesting Date The Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting schedule specified in this Section 2.

  • Forfeiture of Restricted Shares Subject to Section 4(b), if your Service to the Company or any Affiliate terminates before all of the Restricted Shares have vested, or if you attempt to transfer Restricted Shares in a manner contrary to the transfer restrictions, you will immediately forfeit all unvested Restricted Shares. Any Restricted Shares that are forfeited shall be returned to the Company for cancellation.

  • Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units i. If the Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of the Retirement of the Participant before October 1, <Year_of_Grant>, then the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited immediately and all rights of the Participant to such Units shall terminate immediately without further obligation on the part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company. ii. If the Participant’s employment is terminated for any reason other than Retirement, Disability, or death, any Restricted Stock Units that are subject to a Restriction Period shall be forfeited immediately without further obligation on the part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company, and all rights of the Participant with respect to such Restricted Stock Units shall terminate. If the Participant is granted a leave of absence before the expiration of the Restriction Period, the Participant shall not forfeit any rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units subject to the Restriction Period, except for Dividend Equivalent Payments as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement, unless the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company terminates at any time during or at the end of the leave of absence and before the expiration of the Restriction Period, at which time all rights of the Participant with respect to such Restricted Stock Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company. iii. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of the Retirement or Disability of the Participant, and the Participant Engages in Competing Employment within a period of two years following Retirement or Disability, and before the expiration of the Restriction Period, then any Restricted Stock Units subject to a Restriction Period shall be forfeited immediately and all rights of the Participant to such Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company. A Participant “Engages in Competing Employment” if the Participant works for or provides services for any Competitor, on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of others, including, but not limited to, as a consultant, independent contractor, director, owner, officer, partner, joint venturer, or employee.

Moreover, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited immediately and all rights of the Participant to such Units shall terminate if: A. the Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of the Retirement or Disability of the Participant before the expiration of the Restriction Period, and B. it is determined that the Participant engaged in any of the following: 1. the Participant engaged in an act of fraud, embezzlement, or theft in connection with the Participant’s duties or in the course of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or Subsidiary Company; or 2. the Participant disclosed confidential information in violation of a confidentiality agreement with the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company, or otherwise in violation of the law. A determination under this paragraph shall be made by the Committee with respect to a participant who was, at any time, employed at the level of Vice President or above, and this determination shall be made by the Vice President Human Resources with respect to all other participants, and in either situation upon consultation with the Corporation’s chief legal officer. Participant understands that nothing in this Agreement (1) prohibits or impedes Participant from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity (including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Congress, and any agency Inspector General), from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation, or from receiving a monetary award from the SEC related to participation in an SEC investigation or proceeding, or (2) requires Participant to obtain prior authorization of the Corporation to make any such reports or disclosures or to notify the Corporation of such reports or disclosures.
