Vesting; Forfeiture (a) Subject to the Participant’s continued employment or service through the applicable vesting date and except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the Award shall vest at the time(s) set forth on the signature page hereto. The Administrator has authority to determine whether and to what degree the Award shall be deemed vested.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) herein, with respect to Employees and Consultants, in the event that the Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated due to a Qualifying Termination, then a pro-rata portion of the unvested Shares subject to the Award as of each applicable vesting date, determined as of the date of the Qualifying Termination in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(b), shall be deemed vested. The pro-rata portion of the unvested Shares subject to the Award that shall be deemed vested as of each applicable vesting date shall be determined by multiplying the total number of the unvested Shares subject to vesting on the applicable vesting date, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days from the Date of Grant through the date of the Qualifying Termination, and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days in the period commencing on the Date of Grant and ending on the applicable vesting date. The remaining unvested Shares subject to the Award shall be forfeited as of the date of the Qualifying Termination.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) herein, with respect to Directors, in the event that the Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated due to death or Disability, then the Award shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, become fully vested effective as of the Participant’s Termination Date.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) herein, in the event of a Change of Control, then the Award shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, become vested as follows:
(i) To the extent that the successor or surviving company in the Change of Control event does not assume or substitute for the Award (or in which the Company is the ultimate parent corporation and does not continue the Award) on substantially similar terms or with substantially equivalent economic benefits (as determined by the Administrator) as Awards outstanding under the Plan immediately prior to the Change of Control event, the Award shall become fully vested as of the date of the Change of Control.
(ii) Further, in the event that the Award is substituted, assumed or continued as provided in Section 3(d)(i) herein, the Award will nonetheless become vested if the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company and its Affiliates without Cause or by the Participant with Good Reason within six months before (in which case vesting shall not occur until the effective date of the Change of Control) or one year after the effective date of a Change of Control (in which case vesting shall occur as of the Participant’s Termination Date).
(e) If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated for any reason other than a Change of Control, a Qualifying Termination with respect to Employees and Consultants, or death or disability with respect to Directors as provided herein (including but not limited to a termination for Cause), the unvested portion of the Award shall immediately terminate and the Participant shall have no rights with respect to the Award or the Shares underlying the unvested portion of the Award.
Restrictions; Forfeiture The Restricted Shares are restricted in that they may not be sold, transferred or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until these restrictions are removed or expire as described in Section 5 or 6 of this Agreement. The Restricted Shares are also restricted in the sense that they may be forfeited to the Company (the “Forfeiture Restrictions”). You hereby agree that if the Restricted Shares are forfeited, as provided in Section 6, the Company shall have the right to deliver the Restricted Shares to the Company’s transfer agent for, at the Company’s election, cancellation or transfer to the Company.
Forfeiture Unless otherwise specified in the Vesting Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event specified in a Vesting Agreement as resulting in either the right of the Partnership or the General Partner to repurchase LTIP Units at a specified purchase price or some other forfeiture of any LTIP Units, then if the Partnership or the General Partner exercises such right to repurchase or forfeiture in accordance with the applicable Vesting Agreement, the relevant LTIP Units shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose. Unless otherwise specified in the Vesting Agreement, no consideration or other payment shall be due with respect to any LTIP Units that have been forfeited, other than any distributions declared with respect to a Partnership Record Date prior to the effective date of the forfeiture. In connection with any repurchase or forfeiture of LTIP Units, the balance of the portion of the Capital Account of the LTIP Unitholder that is attributable to all of his or her LTIP Units shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which it exceeds the target balance contemplated by Section 5.01(g) hereof, calculated with respect to the LTIP Unitholder’s remaining LTIP Units, if any.
