No Right to Continued Employment or Service This Agreement and the grant of Restricted Stock hereunder shall not confer, or be construed to confer, upon the Recipient any right to employment or service, or continued employment or service, with the Company or any Related Entity.
Termination of Employment or Service (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, if the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group terminates for any reason, the unvested RSUs shall terminate as of the effective date of termination (the “Termination Date”), and all of the Participant’s rights hereunder with respect to such unvested RSUs shall cease as of the Termination Date (unless otherwise provided for by the Committee in accordance with the Plan). (b) If the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Service Recipient during the Performance Period due to or during the Participant’s Disability or due to the Participant’s death, a pro-rated number of the target number of RSUs granted hereunder shall become vested and nonforfeitable (irrespective of performance) based on the number of days in the Performance Period prior to the Termination Date relative to the number of the days in the full Performance Period. Any RSUs that vest as provided herein shall be settled in accordance with Section 4. (c) In the event the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group is terminated as a result of the Participant’s Retirement, the RSUs granted hereunder shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest, notwithstanding such termination of employment or service, based on (and to the extent) the Committee’s determination that the Performance Conditions have been satisfied on the Determination Date, in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Award Notice, so long as no Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs (as determined by the Committee, or its designee, in its sole discretion) prior to the Determination Date. Any RSUs that vest as provided herein shall be settled in accordance with Section 4. As a pre-condition to the Participant’s right to continued vesting following Retirement, the Committee, or its designee, may require the Participant to certify in writing prior to the applicable vesting date that no Restrictive Covenant Violation has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Date of Grant of the RSUs is not at least six months prior to the date of the Participant’s Retirement, any unvested RSUs shall terminate as of the Termination Date. (d) If the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group terminates for any reason after the last day of the Performance Period and before the Determination Date (other than a termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Participant while grounds for Cause exist or without Good Reason), and no Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs before the Determination Date, then all RSUs shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on (and to the extent) the Committee’s determination that the Performance Conditions have been satisfied on the Determination Date. (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the RSUs granted hereunder shall become immediately fully vested as of the Termination Date and settled in accordance with Section 4 if the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group shall be terminated by the Company other than for Cause, or by the Participant for Good Reason, in either case if such termination of the Participant’s employment occurs within 12 months following a Change in Control (for the avoidance of doubt, a Change in Control alone shall not, also, result in any vesting hereunder), with the actual number of RSUs determined based on (i) actual performance through the Termination Date, as determined by the Committee, or (ii) if the Committee determines that measurement of actual performance cannot be reasonably assessed, the assumed achievement of target performance as determined by the Committee. (f) For purposes of this Section 5, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following, without the Participant’s written consent:
No Effect on Employment or Service Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment or service at any time, with or without cause. For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant between the Company and any one of its Affiliates (or between Affiliates) shall not be deemed a Termination of Service. Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only.
No Employment or Service Contract Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) or of Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Participant's Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.
No Right to Employment Any questions as to whether and when there has been a Termination and the cause of such Termination shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time, for any reason and with or without Cause.
Employment or Retention of Affiliates (a) Any Affiliate of the General Partner may be employed or retained by the Partnership and may otherwise deal with the Partnership (whether as a buyer, lessor, lessee, manager, furnisher of goods or services, broker, agent, lender or otherwise) and may receive from the Partnership any compensation, price, or other payment therefor which the General Partner determines to be fair and reasonable. (b) The Partnership may lend or contribute to its Subsidiaries or other Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Subsidiary or any other Person. (c) The Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, other partnerships, corporations or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions as the General Partner deems are consistent with this Agreement and applicable law. (d) Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Partnership.
Right to Terminate Employment No provision of this Agreement shall limit in any way whatsoever any right that the Company or a Subsidiary may otherwise have to terminate the employment of the Grantee at any time. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create a contract or a right to employment with respect to the Grantee.
RIGHT TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or any specific position or level of employment with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or affect in any way the right of the Employer to terminate your employment without prior notice at any time for any reason or no reason.
No Right To Employment or Other Status The grant of this option shall not be construed as giving the Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with the Participant free from any liability or claim hereunder.
