Common use of Settlement of PSUs Clause in Contracts

Settlement of PSUs. The grant pursuant to this Award represents an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company, subject to the vesting, achievement of performance targets and other conditions of this Agreement, to issue to the Employee for each vested PSU one share of the Common Stock and to pay to the Employee in a single lump sum any cash amounts credited on such vested PSU with respect to dividends. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Award Statement and subject to the terms of this Agreement, such issuance and lump sum payment shall be made to the Employee (or, in the event of his or her death to the Employee’s estate as provided above) (a) in all cases other than those set forth in clause (b), as soon as reasonably practicable following the Vesting Date and no later than December 31 of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs, and (b) in the case of termination of employment by reason of death or Disability or the Employee’s death after a termination of employment in the circumstances specified in Section 2, as soon as reasonably practicable following such termination of employment or death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines that settlement in the form of Common Stock is impractical or impermissible under the laws of the Employee’s country of residence, the PSUs will be settled in the form of cash, and further notwithstanding the foregoing, payment will not occur until any applicable waiting period under HSR has expired or been terminated.
