Vesting and Payment (a) Except as set forth in Sections 2(c) and 2(d), the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Scheduled Payment Date”); provided that the Participant has not had a Termination of Employment at any time prior to the Scheduled Payment Date.
(b) Except as set forth in Section 2(c), there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to the vesting date and all vesting shall occur only on the vesting date; provided that no Termination of Employment has occurred prior to such date.
(c) The Restricted Stock Units shall vest on a pro-rated basis upon the Participant’s Retirement, unless otherwise provided expressly in a written agreement between the Participant and the Company (or a Subsidiary). For purposes of this Section 2(c), the Participant shall qualify for “Retirement” if (i) the Participant’s age (minimum 55) plus years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries equal or exceed 70, (ii) the Participant has provided written notice of the Participant’s retirement to the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of such retirement, and (iii) no Termination of Employment has occurred prior to the date of such retirement. For purposes of determining the age and service requirement under Section 2(c)(i), the Participant’s age and years of service shall be determined by the Participant’s most recent birthday and employment anniversary, respectively. For purposes of this Section 2(c), vesting on a pro-rated basis shall be calculated by multiplying the number of Restricted Stock Units set forth under Section 1 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the date of grant to the date of the Participant’s Retirement, and the denominator of which is 1,460.
(d) The Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested on the earliest of (i) a Termination of Employment by the Company (or a Subsidiary) without Cause occurring within the 2-year period following a Change of Control, (ii) the Participant’s Disability and (iii) the Participant’s death; provided that no Termination of Employment has occurred prior to any such event, unless otherwise provided expressly in a written agreement between the Participant and the Company (or a Subsidiary). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean a Change of Control as defined in the Plan. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the approval of, and receiving benefits for, long term disability by the disability insurance carrier under the Company’s (or if applicable, Subsidiary’s) long term disability plan.
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.
Vesting and Exercisability (a) Options to purchase 87,500 shares, 43,750 shares and 43,750 shares, respectively, will vest on the first three anniversaries of the Start Date (as defined in the Employment Agreement).
(b) If the Employee's employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to the time that the Option has been fully exercised, the unexercised portion of the Option on the date of termination of employment (whether exercisable or not) shall immediately expire; provided, however, that (i) if the Employee's employment is terminated by reason of the Employee's disability (pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Employment Agreement), all portions of the Option that are vested at the time of termination shall remain exercisable for a period of one year from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever is shorter; (ii) in the event of the death of the Employee while in the employ of the Company, all portions of the Option that are vested at the time of death shall remain exercisable by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Employee under the will of the Employee for a period of one year from the date of such death or until the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever is shorter; and (iii) in the event the Employee is terminated without "Cause" (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or Executive terminates his employment for "Good Reason" (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then the Option shall become fully vested and exercisable and may be exercised for a period of five years from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever is shorter.
(c) The Board of Directors may, in the event the Executive's employment is terminated for Cause (as provided for in the Employment Agreement), annul the Option and, in such event, may require the Executive to return to the Company the economic benefit of any Option Shares purchased hereunder by the Executive within the six month period prior to the date of termination. In such event, the Executive hereby agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Option Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Option Shares were sold during such six month period) and the exercise price of such Shares.
Vesting and Exercisability of Option The Option shall vest, and may be exercised, with respect to the Shares as set forth in the Optionee Statement attached hereto and made a part hereof, subject to earlier termination of the Option as provided in Sections 1.4 and 6 hereof or in the Plan. The right to purchase the Shares as they become vested shall be cumulative and shall continue during the Exercise Term unless sooner terminated as provided herein.
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.
Vesting of Award Subject to Section 2(b) below and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Award shall become vested in three equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date hereof. Unless otherwise provided by the Company, all dividends and other amounts receivable in connection with any adjustments to the Shares under Section 4(c) of the Plan shall be subject to the vesting schedule in this Section 2(a).
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.
Vesting of PSUs The PSUs granted pursuant to this Award shall vest, if at all, as follows:
(a) The Committee, in its sole discretion, has established, or within 90 days following the Date of Grant will establish, Performance Goals based on factors consistent with Section 3.1(e)(ii) of the Executive Employment Agreement by and between NIL, NII and the Grantee effective as of January 2, 2020, as amended from time to time (the “Employment Agreement”), which will be measured over a one-year performance period commencing on _____________ and ending on _____________ (such period, the “Performance Period”).
(b) Up to 200% of the Target PSUs subject to this Award are eligible to become earned based upon achievement of the applicable Performance Goals. The Committee shall have sole discretion to determine the level of achievement of the applicable Performance Goals and the percentage of the Target PSUs subject to this Award that shall become earned based on such performance (the “Earned PSUs”). The Committee’s determinations pursuant to the exercise of discretion with respect to all matters described in this paragraph shall be final and binding on the Grantee. The Committee shall make this determination within 60 days following the end of the Performance Period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (the “Performance Determination Date”).
(c) If, on the Performance Determination Date or any other applicable date as set forth in this Section 3, the Committee determines that any of the PSUs subject to this Award shall not become Earned PSUs, then any such PSUs that did not become Earned PSUs (and all rights arising from such PSUs and from being a holder thereof) will terminate automatically without any further action by the Company and will be forfeited without further notice and at no cost to the Company.
(d) One-third of the Earned PSUs shall become vested on each of the first three anniversaries of the Date of Grant if the Grantee remains continuously employed by NIL and/or NII from the Date of Grant through the applicable vesting date; provided that any Earned PSUs scheduled to vest prior to the Performance Determination Date shall instead vest upon the Performance Determination Date; provided further, that if the preceding calculation results in any fractional shares, such fractional shares shall be rounded down to the next whole number of shares, with the remainder of shares due to be paid in the third annual instalment.
(e) In the event of a Change in Control of NIL (as defined in the Employment Agreement), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Employment Agreement, all of the Earned PSUs subject to this Award that remain unvested shall become vested as of the date of such Change in Control if the Grantee remains continuously employed by NIL and/or NII from the Date of Grant through the date of such Change in Control; provided that, if such Change in Control of NIL occurs prior to the Performance Determination Date, the Earned PSUs shall be deemed to equal 100% of the Target PSUs.
(f) In the event of the Grantee’s Termination due to the Grantee’s death or Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement), all of the Earned PSUs subject to this Award that remain unvested shall become vested as of the date of such Termination; provided that, if the date of such Termination occurs prior to the conclusion of the Performance Period, then the Grantee shall forfeit all PSUs subject to this Award, and if the date of such Termination occurs after the conclusion of the Performance Period but prior to the Performance Determination Date, then the number of Earned PSUs shall be determined based on actual performance.
(g) In the event of the Grantee’s Termination either due to the Grantee’s Constructive Termination Without Cause or by the Company Without Cause (each as defined in the Employment Agreement), all of the Earned PSUs subject to this Award that remain unvested shall become vested as of the date of such Termination; provided that, if the date of such Termination occurs prior to the conclusion of the Performance Period, then the Grantee shall forfeit all PSUs subject to this Award, and if the date of such Termination occurs after the conclusion of the Performance Period but prior to the Performance Determination Date, then the number of Earned PSUs shall be determined based on actual performance.
(h) Anything herein notwithstanding, in the event of the Grantee’s Termination by the Company for Cause or by the written voluntary resignation of the Grantee (each as defined or contemplated, as applicable, in the Employment Agreement), the Grantee shall forfeit any PSUs subject to this Award that remain unvested as of the date of such Termination.
