Equity-Based Awards For each calendar year during the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in and receive equity-based awards under the Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, and any and all successor or replacement plans as may be determined by the Board or the Committee (collectively, “Incentive Plan”).
Performance Units Subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) hereof, the Committee may in its discretion grant Performance Units to any Eligible Person and shall evidence such grant in an Award Agreement that is delivered to the Participant which sets forth the terms and conditions of the Award.
Performance Shares The Performance Shares earned by the Grantee will be determined and delivered to the Grantee as soon as practicable subsequent to the determination of the Corporation’s financial results for the Performance Cycle and approval by the Plan Administrator. The corresponding shares of the Corporation’s common stock will be purchased on the open market.
Vested Company Options Immediately prior to but contingent upon the Closing, each Company Option that is unexpired, unexercised and vested immediately prior to the Closing (“Vested Options”) shall, by virtue of the Closing and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be automatically cancelled, and each Optionholder holding Vested Options shall have the right to receive, with respect to such Vested Options, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Closing Date Purchase Price (subject to withholding of such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share in each of the Adjustment Holdback Amount, the Expense Fund), and (B) the right to receive such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of any cash disbursements that may become payable, with respect to such Vested Options, from the Adjustment Holdback Amount and the Expense Fund, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (C) the right to receive such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of any positive Adjustment Amount that may become payable, with respect to such Vested Options, pursuant to Section 2.8, and (D) the right to receive such Optionholder’s Pro Rata Share of any Earnout Consideration that may become payable under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9. The amount of cash that each holder of Vested Options is entitled to receive for such Vested Options will be subject to any applicable payroll, income Tax or other withholding Taxes and the provisions of the Israeli Tax Ruling and/or the Israeli Interim Tax Ruling if obtained. For the avoidance of doubt, an Optionholder’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of this Section 2.2(a) shall be calculated based on such Optionholder’s holding of Vested Options (disregarding any shares of the Company or Unvested Options held by such Optionholder).
Other Equity Awards Except as set forth in Sections 8(a)(iii) and 8(a)(iv), performance share awards and all other equity awards granted to the Executive by the Company which remain outstanding immediately prior to the date of termination of the Executive’s employment, as provided in Section 7(b), shall vest and be settled in accordance with their terms. The Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive as a result of termination of employment described in this Section 8(a) except as set forth in Section 12.
Performance Share Awards On the Performance Share Vesting Date next following the Executive's date of death, the number of Performance Shares that shall become Vested Performance Shares shall be determined by multiplying (a) that number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Performance Share Agreement that would have become Vested Performance Shares had no such termination occurred; provided, however, in no case shall the number of Performance Shares that become Vested Performance Shares exceed 100% of the Target Number of Performance Shares set forth in the Performance Share Agreement, by (b) the ratio of the number of full months of the Executive's employment with the Company during the Performance Period (as defined in the Performance Share Agreement) to the number of full months contained in the Performance Period. Vested Common Shares shall be issued in settlement of such Vested Performance Shares on the Settlement Date next following the Executive’s date of death.
Equity Incentive Awards Executive shall be eligible to receive grants of equity-based long-term incentive awards, which may include options to purchase Company stock, performance or restricted stock units and Company restricted stock contributions to Company’s deferred compensation plan, or other equity-based awards. Such awards shall be determined in the discretion of the Board. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Redwood Trust, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan) in which the surviving or acquiring corporation does not assume the Executive’s outstanding equity-related awards (including options and equity-based awards granted both before and after the Effective Date) or substitute similar equity-related awards, such equity-related awards shall immediately vest and become exercisable if the Executive’s service with the Company has not terminated before the effective date of the Change of Control; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall only apply if the Company is not the surviving corporation or if shares of the Company’s common stock are converted into or exchanged for other securities or cash.
Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units Except as provided in Section 3, if the Employee terminates employment prior to the satisfaction of the vesting requirements set forth in Section 2(a) above, any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately be forfeited. The period of time during which the Restricted Stock Units covered by this Award are forfeitable is referred to as the “Restricted Period.”
Accelerated Vesting of Equity Awards One hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s then-outstanding and unvested Equity Awards will become vested in full. If, however, an outstanding Equity Award is to vest and/or the amount of the award to vest is to be determined based on the achievement of performance criteria, then the Equity Award will vest as to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Equity Award assuming the performance criteria had been achieved at target levels for the relevant performance period(s).
Equity Awards You will be eligible to receive awards of stock options or other equity awards pursuant to any plans or arrangements the Company may have in effect from time to time. The Board or Committee, as applicable, will determine in its sole discretion whether you will be granted any such equity awards and the terms of any such award in accordance with the terms of any applicable plan or arrangement that may be in effect from time to time.
