Common use of Starwood Performance Shares Clause in Contracts

Starwood Performance Shares. Each Starwood Performance Share award granted in 2014 or later and held by a Vistana Employee and listed on Schedule 2.11(b) will be deemed to have been earned (the “Earned Starwood Performance Shares”) at the greater of (1) the target level of achievement of the applicable management objectives or (2) the actual level of achievement of the applicable management objectives measured as of the Closing Date and reasonably determined by Starwood in accordance with the terms of the Starwood Stock Plan using a methodology consistent with the methodology used in Starwood’s past practice in the ordinary course of business. For the avoidance of doubt, although the amount of Earned Starwood Performance Shares may be affected as a result of determining the achievement of the applicable management objectives as of the Closing Date rather than as of the end of the original performance period, such Earned Starwood Performance Shares shall not be further reduced or pro-rated based on the Vistana Employee ceasing to be employed by Starwood or its Affiliates as of such date. The Earned Starwood Performance Shares will be assumed by ILG and converted, effective as of the Effective Time, into a restricted stock units award covering ILG Common Stock (the “Converted RSUs”) and subject to substantially the same terms as the related Starwood Performance Shares, except that (y) such restricted stock units awards will vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date of the original Starwood Performance Share award (generally subject to continued employment or service with ILG or an Affiliate thereof through such date) and will not be subject to any additional performance objectives and (z) the other terms and conditions will be modified to the extent necessary to reflect that the holder of such Converted RSU provides services to ILG or its Affiliates (and not Starwood or its Affiliates) and the issuer of the common stock underlying the Converted RSU is ILG (and not Starwood). The number of such Converted RSUs for each such Vistana Employee will be equal to the product (rounded up to the nearest whole share) of (1) the number of Earned Starwood Performance Shares, as determined in accordance with the above, and (2) the Adjustment Ratio. Any portion of the Starwood Performance Share awards that is not earned as of the Closing Date will be cancelled and forfeited. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, ILG will issue each Person who holds a Converted RSU a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Converted RSU by ILG.
