(b) Performance Based Vesting

 

Your Units will vest on the dates set forth above if the performance criteria set forth on Exhibit A are met, which criteria shall be consistent with one or more of the business criteria identified in Section 7(b) of the Plan.

 

To the extent that such performance criteria are not satisfied by the end of a given performance period (with the results that no Units have been earned for that particular performance period), then the applicable portion of Units indicated above will be available to be earned in the next performance period, so long as the performance criteria are satisfied prior to the end of the final performance period (the “Final Performance Date”). To the extent that the performance goals stated above are not satisfied on or before the Final Performance Date, then the Units will be forfeited to the Company, effective as of the date following the Final Performance Date. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has final authority to determine whether performance criteria have been met and whether any Units have vested for a particular performance period.

 

Your Units are not transferable by you. Except as may be required by federal income tax withholding provisions or by the tax laws of any state, your interests (and the interests of your beneficiaries, if any) under this Agreement are not subject to the claims of your creditors and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily sold, transferred, alienated, assigned, pledged, anticipated, or encumbered. Any attempt to sell, transfer, alienate, assign, pledge, anticipate, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any right to benefits payable hereunder shall be void. Your Units represent an unsecured promise by the Company to issue shares of Common Stock to you in the future. Your rights to your Units are no greater than that of other general, unsecured creditors of the Company. As used in this Agreement, your primary employer (“Employer”), the Company, and their subsidiaries and affiliates are collectively referred to as the “Employer Group.”

2. Delivery of Shares of Common Stock . Promptly after your Units vest, the Company will cause to be issued to you (or your beneficiary(ies) or personal representative, if you are deceased) in book-entry in the records of the Company’s transfer agent, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested Units granted herein.

 

3. Accelerated Vesting .

 

If any of the following (each a “Section 3 Event”) occurs prior to the vesting of all Units:

 

 

·

 

termination of your employment with or service to the Employer Group due to your death or permanent and total disability, or involuntary termination of your employment or service other than by reason of your willful refusal to perform your duties; or

 

 

·

 

a “Change in Control” as provided for in Section 9 of the Plan; or

 

 

·

 

the occurrence of an “Accelerated Vesting Event” as such term, if applicable, is defined in your employment agreement with the Company,

 

then your right to the Units shall vest on the later of:

 

 

·

 

the occurrence of a Section 3 Event if (i) the Section 3 Event is your death or disability or a “Change in Control” under the Plan or your employment agreement, or (ii) the performance criteria set forth on Exhibit A have been met before the occurrence of the Section 3 Event; or

 

 

·

 

the performance criteria set forth on Exhibit A being met if that occurs after the Section 3 Event but on or before the vesting of all Units.

 

4. Termination . Your right to the unvested Units shall terminate immediately if you cease your service or employment with the Employer Group by voluntarily terminating your service or employment or if the Employer Group terminates your service or employment by reason of your willful refusal to perform your duties.

 

5. Additional Forfeiture . The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may cancel, suspend, withhold or otherwise limit or restrict the delivery of shares of Common Stock under your Units at any time if you (i) are not in compliance with all applicable provisions of this Agreement or the Plan or (ii) engage in any activity
