Dividend Equivalent Payments Until your RSUs convert to Shares, if MSCI pays a dividend on Shares, you will be entitled to a dividend equivalent payment in the same amount as the dividend you would have received if you held Shares for your vested and unvested RSUs immediately prior to the record date. No dividend equivalents will be paid to you with respect to any canceled or forfeited RSUs. MSCI will decide on the form of payment and may pay dividend equivalents in Shares, in cash or in a combination thereof, unless otherwise provided in Exhibit C. MSCI will pay the dividend equivalent when it pays the corresponding dividend on its common stock or on the next regularly scheduled payroll date. The gross amount of any dividend equivalents paid to you with respect to RSUs that do not vest and convert to Shares shall be subject to potential recoupment or payback (such recoupment or payback of dividend equivalents, the “Clawback”) following the cancellation or forfeiture of the underlying RSUs. You consent to the Company’s implementation and enforcement of the Clawback and expressly agree that MSCI may take such actions as are necessary to effectuate the Clawback consistent with applicable law. If, within a reasonable period, you do not tender repayment of the dividend equivalents in response to demand for repayment, MSCI may seek a court order against you or take any other actions as are necessary to effectuate the Clawback.

Initial Equity Grant No later than 45 days following the Commencement Date, the Company shall take such actions as shall be necessary to grant you the right to purchase (the “Stock Purchase Right”) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) equal to six percent (6%) of the Company’s outstanding capital stock as of the Commencement Date, calculated based on the Fully Diluted Capitalization of the Company (as defined in the next sentence) at a per-share purchase price equal to the per-share fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, as determined reasonably by the Board in good faith. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Fully Diluted Capitalization” includes all outstanding shares of capital stock plus all shares subject to issuance under outstanding options or warrants plus all shares of capital stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) that are not subject to outstanding options or other equity awards plus, to the extent not already included in the foregoing, all shares purchased by you, or subject to your right to purchase, pursuant to this Section 3(d) and Section 3(f). The Stock Purchase Right will be granted under the Plan. Any shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of the Stock Purchase Right (the “Restricted Stock”) shall be subject to a right of repurchase in favor of the Company at the original purchase price thereof (the “Right of Repurchase”). The Restricted Stock shall vest, and the Right of Repurchase lapse, with respect to thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the total shares of Restricted Stock on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date and with respect to 1/36th of such shares of Restricted Stock on each monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date thereafter so that the Restricted Stock shall be fully vested and the Right of Repurchase fully lapsed on the third anniversary of the Commencement Date, in each case, subject to your continued service to the Company hereunder except as otherwise provided herein. You will be permitted to purchase the shares of Restricted Stock using a full recourse promissory note, equal to the value of the entire purchase, in a form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the Company bearing an interest rate equal to the Applicable Federal Rate. The Restricted Stock shall be subject to the terms of the Plan and a restricted stock purchase agreement (the “Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to be entered into between you and the Company.
Payment after Vesting Any Performance Shares that vest in accordance with paragraphs 3 through 4 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, subject to paragraph 9, but in no event later than the applicable two and one-half (2 1/2) month period of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in the Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Performance Shares are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, the vested Performance Shares will be released to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, subject to paragraph 9, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year that includes the date of vesting or, if later, the fifteen (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the date of vesting (provided that the Employee will not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment). Further, if some or all of the Performance Shares that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A vest on account of the Employee’s Termination of Service (other than due to death) in accordance with paragraphs 3 through 4, the Performance Shares that vest on account of the Employee’s Termination of Service will not be considered due or payable until the Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, if the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of the Employee’s separation from service (other than due to death), then any accelerated Performance Shares will be paid to the Employee no earlier than six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Employee’s separation from service unless the Employee dies following his or her separation from service, in which case, the Performance Shares will be paid to the Employee’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to paragraph 9. Any Performance Shares that vest in accordance with paragraph 5 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares in accordance with the provisions of such paragraph, subject to paragraph 9. For each Performance Share that vests, the Employee will receive one Share.
Death After Separation from Service But Before Benefit Distributions Commence If the Executive is entitled to benefit distributions under this Agreement, but dies prior to the commencement of said benefit distributions, the Bank shall distribute to the Beneficiary the same benefits that the Executive was entitled to prior to death except that the benefit distributions shall commence within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Bank of the Executive’s death certificate.
Time-Based Vesting Fifty Percent (50%) of the Executive Stock shall vest on each date set forth below (each, a "Vesting Date") as to that number of shares of the Executive Stock set forth opposite such Vesting Date: Vesting Date No. of shares of Executive Stock ------------ -------------------------------- On the first anniversary of the Effective 12.5% of the Executive Stock Date After the first anniversary of the Effective An additional 1.0417% of the Executive Stock Date through the fourth anniversary of the on the first day of each calendar month after the Effective Date first anniversary of the Effective Date until 50% of the Executive Stock is vested
Scheduled Vesting If you remain a Service Provider continuously from the Grant Date specified on the cover page of this Agreement, then the Units will vest in the amounts and on the Scheduled Vesting Dates specified in the Vesting Schedule.
Vesting Generally LTIP Units may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on Transfer pursuant to the terms of an award, vesting or other similar agreement (a “Vesting Agreement”). The terms of any Vesting Agreement may be modified by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Vesting Agreement or by the Plan, if applicable. LTIP Units that were fully vested when issued or that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture under the terms of a Vesting Agreement are referred to as “Vested LTIP Units”; all other LTIP Units shall be treated as “Unvested LTIP Units.”
Accelerated Vesting Notwithstanding the terms of any Award Agreement heretofore or hereafter granted to the Executive, in the event of a Change of Control, all Options and Restricted Stock granted to the Executive which do not constitute deferred compensation for Code Section 409A purposes shall become fully vested on the date of the Change of Control. The Executive shall have the right to exercise any such Options in a manner provided for in the applicable Award Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 9(a) and the terms of any Award Agreement granted to the Executive, the terms of this Section 9(a) shall control and govern.
Equity Vesting Acceleration Vesting acceleration (and exercisability, as applicable) as to 100% of the then-unvested shares subject to each of the Executive’s then-outstanding Company equity awards subject to only time-based (and not performance-based) vesting. In the case of equity awards with performance-based vesting, such awards will be treated as set forth in the applicable award agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of the Executive’s Qualifying Pre-CIC Termination, any unvested portion of the Executive’s then-outstanding equity awards will remain outstanding until the earlier of (x) ninety (90) days following the Qualifying Termination or (y) the occurrence of a Change in Control, solely so that any benefits due on a Qualifying Pre-CIC Termination can be provided if a Change in Control occurs within the ninety (90) day period following the Qualifying Termination (provided that in no event will the Executive’s stock options or similar equity awards remain outstanding beyond the equity award’s maximum term to expiration). If no Change in Control occurs within the ninety (90) day period following a Qualifying Termination, any unvested portion of the Executive’s equity awards automatically and permanently will be forfeited on the ninetieth (90th) day following the date of the Qualifying Termination without having vested.
