Incentive Payments (i) Amount in the Event of a Termination Pursuant to Sections 7(a) or 7(c). In the event of a termination pursuant to Sections 7(a) or 7(c) of this Agreement, Employee shall be offered the opportunity to receive Incentive Payments in a total amount equal to 0.500 times the sum of Employee’s most recent annual base salary and target bonus, payable in equal installments on the same pay schedule in effect at the time of termination over a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination.
Incentive Awards a) The Executive shall participate in the Company's annual incentive plan for senior-level executives as in effect from time to time, subject to the performance standards set by the Compensation Committee. Payment of any annual incentive award shall be made at the same time that such awards are paid to other senior-level executives of the Company. The Executive's annual incentive award target shall be set by the Compensation Committee.
Incentive Bonuses The Employee shall be eligible to be considered for an annual incentive bonus with a target amount equal to 50% of his Base Compensation. Such bonus (if any) shall be awarded based on objective or subjective criteria established in advance by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") or its Compensation Committee. The determinations of the Board or such Committee with respect to such bonus shall be final and binding.
Annual Equity Awards Following the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive will be granted annual equity awards in an amount determined by the Board. Such awards may be in the form of options, restricted stock units, performance shares, or any other form as approved by the Board.
Long-Term Incentive Awards The Executive shall participate in any long-term incentive awards offered to senior executives of the Company, as determined by the Compensation Committee.
Incentive Bonus Plan Employee shall be eligible for a bonus opportunity of up to 65% of his annual base salary in accordance with the Company’s Incentive Bonus Plan as modified from time to time, payable in cash and/or equity of the Company (at the Company’s discretion). The bonus payment and the Company’s targeted performance shall be determined and approved by the Board or the compensation committee thereof.
Performance Bonuses The Executive will be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus at an annualized rate of up to 40% of his base salary, based on the achievement of reasonable individual and Company performance targets to be established by the Company and Parent.
Incentive Payment During the period of Executive's employment under this Agreement, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in an incentive compensation program implemented by the Board (the "Annual Incentive Bonus").
Equity Incentive Awards Executive shall be eligible to receive grants of equity-based long-term incentive awards, which may include options to purchase Company stock, performance or restricted stock units and Company restricted stock contributions to Company’s deferred compensation plan, or other equity-based awards. Such awards shall be determined in the discretion of the Board. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Redwood Trust, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan) in which the surviving or acquiring corporation does not assume the Executive’s outstanding equity-related awards (including options and equity-based awards granted both before and after the Effective Date) or substitute similar equity-related awards, such equity-related awards shall immediately vest and become exercisable if the Executive’s service with the Company has not terminated before the effective date of the Change of Control; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall only apply if the Company is not the surviving corporation or if shares of the Company’s common stock are converted into or exchanged for other securities or cash.
Incentive Pay If the Termination Date is any day other than the last day of the plan year under the CIP, the Company shall pay to Executive an amount equal to a prorated portion of the award that would have been payable to Executive under the CIP for such plan year based on actual performance towards objectives, prorated based on the number of days of the plan year occurring through the Termination Date divided by 365. Any individual performance objectives applicable to Executive for the fiscal year shall be deemed to have been met at a level resulting in payout of 50% of the award amount allocated to such individual objectives. The payment shall be paid to Executive at the same time and in the same manner as CIP awards are paid to other executives of the Company pursuant to the CIP, but not later than 2 1/2 months following the end of the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, provided that Executive has satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 12. Any separation pay that may become payable pursuant to this Section 10(c) is intended to be a short-term deferral not subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
