Retention and Incentive Award Sample Clauses
Related to Retention and Incentive Award
Bonus and Incentive Compensation Executive shall be entitled to equitable participation in incentive compensation and bonuses in any plan or arrangement of the Bank or the Company in which Executive is eligible to participate. Nothing paid to Executive under any such plan or arrangement will be deemed to be in lieu of other compensation to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement.
Recovery of Bonus and Incentive Compensation Any bonus and incentive compensation paid to you during a CPP Covered Period is subject to recovery or “clawback” by the Company if the payments were based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria.
Cash and Incentive Compensation For clarification, it is understood by all parties that other than as specified herein, the Company is not obligated to award any future grants of stock options or other form of equity compensation to Executive during Executive's employment with the Company.
Annual Incentive Awards The Executive shall participate in the Company's annual incentive compensation plan with a target annual incentive award opportunity of no less than 40% of Base Salary and a maximum annual incentive award opportunity of 80% of Base Salary. Payment of annual incentive awards shall be made at the same time that other senior-level executives receive their incentive awards.
Retention Bonus You will be eligible for a lump sum cash payment on the first anniversary of the Acquisition Date provided that you are employed by the Company as of such date in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 100% of your annual base salary in effect as of the Acquisition Date, plus (ii) 100% of the annual bonus paid to you for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 (such sum, the “First Year Retention Bonus”). You will be eligible for a lump sum cash payment on the second anniversary of the Acquisition Date provided that you are employed by the Company as of such date in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 100% of your annual base salary in effect as of the Acquisition Date, plus (ii) 100% of the annual bonus paid to you for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 (such sum, the “Second Year Retention Bonus”). Except as set forth below, you will not be eligible for the retention bonuses as set forth above if your employment terminates prior to such applicable anniversary. In the event of your Voluntary Termination for Good Reason (as defined below), the termination of your employment by the Company other than for Justifiable Cause, or in the event of your death or “permanent disability” as defined in the Company’s long-term disability policy (i) during the first twelve month period following the Acquisition Date, you will be eligible for a pro rata portion of the First Year Retention Bonus, counting full months of employment with the Company from the Acquisition Date through such termination, and (ii) during the second twelve month period following the Acquisition Date, you will be eligible for a pro rata portion of the Second Year Retention Bonus, counting full months of employment with the Company from the first anniversary of the Acquisition Date through such termination. Any prorated payment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made within 10 business days of such termination. If the annual bonus payment for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 has not been paid to you or otherwise determined by the Company as of the date the prorated payment is due, the prorated payment shall be calculated using your target bonus amount for 2008. Payments under this Section 8 shall be net of any applicable withholding taxes. For purposes of this Section 8, “Voluntary Termination for Good Reason” shall have the same meaning as given to such term under the Key Employee Change in Control Severance Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Acquisition Date, but with respect to the First Year Retention Bonus only, determined without regard to clause (ii) thereof.”
Incentive Award The three (3) year rolling average of earnings growth and Return On Equity (the "XXX") and determined as of December 31 of each plan year shall determine the Director's Incentive Award Percentage, in accordance with the attached Schedule A. The chart on Schedule A is specifically subject to change annually at the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The Incentive Award is calculated annually by taking the Director's Annual Fees for the Plan Year in which the XXX and Earnings Growth was calculated times the Incentive Award Percentage.
Retention Bonuses Provided Executive becomes and remains an active employee of Mercantile, Mercantile will pay Executive retention bonuses in accordance with the following schedule:
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.
Award and Insurance Benefits Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or Insurance Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in connection therewith (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrower of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part thereof) out of such Insurance Proceeds.
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.
