Payment of Awards The payment of the Award shall be made in shares of Common Stock. The payment of an Award shall be made within 70 days following the end of the Restricted Period.
Settlement of Awards Pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, the Corporation shall deliver to the Employee one Share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit included in the Award and, as applicable, one share for each vested Restricted Stock Unit that corresponds to an accrued dividend equivalent. Any vested Restricted Stock Units payable to the Employee (including Shares payable pursuant to Section 3 above) shall be paid solely in Shares. Any fractional Share will be rounded to the closest whole Share.
Payment of Award (a) Subject to §6(b), the total number of Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) which vest, if any, in accordance with §3, §4, or §5 of this Unit Agreement (the “Vested Units”) shall be paid in an equivalent number of shares of Stock on the specified dates, as follows: 33⅓% shall be paid on the first anniversary of the Grant Date; 33⅓% shall be paid on the second anniversary of the Grant Date; 33⅓% shall be paid on the third anniversary of the Grant Date. Payments made pursuant to this sub-paragraph (a) will deemed to be made on the specified date if such payment are made within the sixty (60) day period which commences immediately following the specified date.
(b) Notwithstanding the specified dates set forth in §6(a), the total number of Vested Units shall be distributed in an equivalent number of shares of Stock upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the date of the Grantee’s death, (ii) the date of the Grantee’s Disability, or (iii) if prior to the date a Grantee becomes eligible for Retirement, the date of the Grantee’s Separation from Service. In the event payment is made pursuant to this sub-paragraph (b) such payment shall be made within the sixty (60) day period which commences immediately following the date of the applicable event.
(c) Except as set forth below, the Vested Units shall be distributed in an equivalent number of shares of Stock; provided, however, the Grantee’s right to any fractional share of Stock shall be paid in cash. In the event the Restricted Stock Units (and related Dividend Equivalent Rights) vest following a Change in Control pursuant to § 4, the Vested Units shall be paid in cash, and the amount of the payment for each Vested Unit to be paid in cash will equal the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of the Change in Control.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, distributions may not be made to a Key Employee upon a Separation from Service before the date which is six (6) months after the date of the Key Employee’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Key Employee). Any payments that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid in the seventh month following the Grantee’s Separation from Service.
(e) The Grantee shall be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent Right for each Vested Unit. At the same time that the Vested Units are paid, SunTrust shall pay each Dividend Equivalent Right in shares of Stock to the Grantee, provided, however, the Grantee’s right to any fractional share of Stock shall be paid in cash. In the event the Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to §4, related Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be paid in cash.
(f) The Grantee will not have any shareholder rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, including the right to vote or receive dividends, unless and until shares of Stock are issued to the Grantee as payment of the vested Restricted Stock Units.
Settlement of Award Except as otherwise provided in Section 12 hereof, if the Grantee becomes vested in his Awards, or any portion thereof, in accordance with Section 5, the Company shall distribute to him, or his personal representative, beneficiary or estate, as applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of RSUs subject to the Award then becoming vested. Such shares shall be delivered within 30 days following the date of vesting.
Adjustment of Award (a) The Administrator shall have authority to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Award in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting BB&T or any Affiliate, or the financial statements of BB&T or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, if the Administrator determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws, rules or regulations.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Administrator, in order to comply with applicable law (including, without limitation, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) and any risk management requirements and/or policies adopted by BB&T, retains the right at all times to decrease or terminate the Award and payments under the Plan, and any and all amounts payable under the Plan or paid under the Plan shall be subject to clawback, forfeiture, and reduction to the extent determined by the Administrator as necessary to comply with applicable law and/or policies adopted by BB&T; and (ii) in the event any legislation, regulation(s), or formal or informal guidance require(s) any compensation payable under the Plan (including, without limitation, the Award) to be deferred, reduced, eliminated, or subjected to vesting, the Award shall be deferred, reduced, eliminated, paid in a different form or subjected to vesting or other restrictions as, and solely to the extent, required by such legislation, regulation(s), or formal or informal guidance.
Acceleration of Equity Awards All: (i) outstanding and unvested options to purchase Common Stock granted to Executive under any equity plan of the Company, (ii) unvested shares of restricted Common Stock awarded to the Executive under any equity plan of the Company, and (iii) other equity and equity equivalent awards then held by the Executive, shall be accelerated in full, and thereafter all such options, shares of restricted Common Stock and other equity awards shall be immediately vested and exercisable for such period of time as provided for by the specific agreements governing each such award, upon Executive’s termination pursuant to Sections 11(b), (c), (e) or (f) hereof.
Acceleration of Options One hundred (100%) percent of the Executive’s outstanding, unvested options, restricted stock and/or equity awards (“Equity Awards”) shall, immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, become fully and immediately vested to the extent not already so provided under the terms of such Equity Awards; provided, however, that if the acquirer in a Change in Control grants Equity Awards having (in the reasonable opinion of the Board) a value at least equal to the value of Executive’s then-unvested Company Equity Awards, then 50% of the Executive’s outstanding, unvested Company Equity Awards shall become fully and immediately vested immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control (and the remaining 50% shall terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control). Notwithstanding any provisions of the stock option plan or stock option agreement pursuant to which any stock options subject to the preceding sentence were granted, the Executive shall be entitled to exercise such Equity Awards until three years from the date of termination of employment or the expiration of the stated period of the Equity Award, whichever period is the shorter.
