Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Award Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Award Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Award Agreement, the Company reserves the right to revise this Award Agreement as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of Participant, to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A in connection to this Award of Restricted Stock Units.
The Award All compensation awarded for any taking, whether for the whole or a portion of the Leased Premises, shall be the sole property of the Landlord whether such compensation shall be awarded for diminution in the value of, or loss of, the leasehold or for diminution in the value of, or loss of, the fee in the Leased Premises, or otherwise. The Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant's right and title to and interest in any and all such compensation. However, the Landlord shall not be entitled to and Tenant shall have the sole right to make its independent claim for and retain any portion of any award made by the appropriating authority directly to Tenant for loss of business, or damage to or depreciation of, and cost of removal of fixtures, personalty and improvements installed in the Leased Premises by, or at the expense of Tenant, and to any other award made by the appropriating authority directly to Tenant.
RSUs The Continuing Stock Units shall continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the Original RSU Award Documents, on the same basis as such stock units would have become vested if Executive had remained employed under this Agreement through the Scheduled Expiration Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such Continuing Stock Units shall be subject to, and administered in accordance with, the Original RSU Award Documents. Any of Executive’s restricted stock unit awards that have not become vested on or before the Termination Date, and that are outstanding at the Termination Date, but which are not Continuing Stock Units, shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding any term or provision of the Original RSU Award Documents:
Vesting of Awards In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving or successor entity (or its parent corporation) may continue, assume or replace awards granted to the Executive under the terms of the 2013 Equity Plan that are outstanding as of the Change in Control, and such awards or replacements therefore shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms. If and to the extent that outstanding awards granted to the Executive under the terms of the 2013 Equity Plan are not continued, assumed or replaced in connection with a Change in Control, then the vesting of such awards shall be accelerated and such awards shall become immediately fully vested and, in the case of options, exercisable in full as of the Change in Control. With respect to outstanding awards granted to the Executive under the terms of the 2013 Equity Plan that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, the level of achievement of the performance-based vesting conditions shall be measured consistent with the original terms of the award to preserve the intent of the metrics, and to the extent performance can no longer be reasonably measured consistent with the original terms, the vesting of such awards shall be accelerated and such awards shall become immediately fully vested and, in the case of options, exercisable in full as of the Change in Control. The reference to "fully vested" in connection with any award subject to performance-based vesting conditions refers to vesting at the maximum level of achievement of the performance goal or goals under the award.
Equity Award Acceleration All outstanding equity awards held by the Executive on the Date of Termination shall immediately become fully vested and, to the extent applicable, exercisable. For the avoidance of doubt, all such equity awards shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest following the Date of Termination and shall actually vest and become exercisable (if applicable) and non-forfeitable upon the effectiveness of the Release.
Vesting of Award Subject to Section 2(b) below and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Award shall become vested in three equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date hereof. Unless otherwise provided by the Company, all dividends and other amounts receivable in connection with any adjustments to the Shares under Section 4(c) of the Plan shall be subject to the vesting schedule in this Section 2(a).
