(c) In the event that the employment of Employee with the Bank, Company or a subsidiary of the Company is terminated by reason of such Employee’s death, any Options granted under this Agreement which have not vested as of the date of such Employee’s death shall immediately expire and shall become unexercisable on such date. All vested and exercisable Options granted under this Agreement to such Employee shall be exercisable until the earlier of the Option Termination Date or the date twelve months after the date of such Employee’s death. Any such vested Option of a deceased Employee may be exercised prior to their expiration only by a person or persons to whom such Employee’s Option rights pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

(f) In the event that the employment of an Employee with the Bank, Company or a subsidiary of the Company is terminated by reason of such Employee’s retirement, any Options which have not vested as of such Employee’s retirement date shall expire and become unexercisable on the earlier of the Option Termination Date or the date three months after such Employee’s retirement date. All vested and exercisable Options granted under this Agreement to such Employee shall expire on the earlier of the Option Termination Date or the date three months after such Employee’s retirement date. (g) In the event that the employment of an Employee with the Bank, Company or a subsidiary of the Company terminates employment for any reason other than for cause or retirement, death or permanent and total disability, any Options which have not vested as of such Employee’s termination date, shall expire and become unexercisable on the earlier of the Option Termination Date or the Employee’s termination date. All vested and exercisable options as of such Employee’s termination date shall expire on the earlier of the Option Termination Date or 90 days after termination. A leave of absence approved in writing by the Board shall not be deemed a termination of employment for purposes of this section, but no Option may be exercised during any such leave of absence.

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.
Vesting Period The vesting period of the Restricted Stock (the “Vesting Period”) begins on the Grant Date and continues until such date as is set forth on Schedule A as the date on which the Restricted Stock is fully vested. On the first Annual Vesting Date following the date of this Agreement and each Annual Vesting Date thereafter the number of shares of Restricted Stock equal to the Annual Vesting Amount shall become vested, subject to earlier forfeiture as provided in this Agreement.

In lieu thereof, the Employee shall have the right to receive from the Company an amount, in cash, equal to the cash dividends payable on shares of Restricted Stock for which the applicable Vesting Period has not expired, provided the Employee is employed by the Company on the payroll date coinciding with or immediately following the date any such cash dividends are paid on the Restricted Shares. The Employee shall have the right to vote the Restricted Stock, regardless of whether the applicable Vesting Period has expired.
