TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF INCENTIVE BONUS
1.Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date, an
incentive bonus Award in the amount set forth in the Grant Notice above, subject
to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.
2.Vesting and Termination. The Award shall vest in such amounts and at such
times as are set forth in the Grant Notice above, provided, that the Award shall
vest in full upon the first to occur of (a) the Participant’s Separation from
Service due to the Participant’s death or Disability, or (b) the consummation of
a Change of Control. The date of any event described in clause (a) or (b) of the
preceding sentence or a Separation from Service described in the following
sentence shall be deemed the Vesting Date for any portion of the Award that
vests in connection therewith. Upon the Participant’s Separation from Service by
reason of a termination by the Employer without Cause, the Award shall vest with
respect to a pro rata amount equal to the amount of the Award that otherwise
would have vested on the next succeeding Vesting Date immediately following the
Separation from Service, had the Participant remained employed through such
Vesting Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
days elapsed from the immediately preceding Vesting Date (or, if such Separation
from Service occurs prior to the first Vesting Date, then from January 1 of the
year in which the grant was made) through the date of the Separation from
Service, and the denominator of which is the number of days from such Vesting
Date (or such January 1, as applicable) through the next scheduled Vesting Date.
Except as set forth in this Section 3, no portion of the Award that has not
become vested at the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service shall
thereafter become vested and/or payable.
3.Non-Transferability. The Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned or
transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. Neither the Award nor any interest or right therein shall be
liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his or her
successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer,
alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means
whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by
judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable
proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall
be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is
permitted by the preceding sentence.
4.No Effect on Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the
Participant any right to serve or continue to serve as an Employee, Director or
Consultant.
5.Withholding. The Employer or the Company may withhold from any amount payable
under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Award such federal, state,
or local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable
law or regulation.
6.Severability. If any provision in this Agreement is held invalid or
unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or
unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
