Annual Equity Award With respect to each Company fiscal year commencing during the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual equity compensation award (each such award, an “Annual Equity Award”). The form and terms and conditions of each Annual Equity Award shall be determined by the Board (or the Compensation Committee of the Board) in its discretion and shall be set forth in one or more written award agreements between the Company and the Executive.
Vesting of Equity Awards Notwithstanding the provisions of any plan or agreement governing such an Award (as defined in Section 4(c)), all Awards granted to you that remain outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 4(d)(i)) automatically shall vest in full upon the occurrence of the Change in Control.
Company Equity Awards With respect to any stock options, restricted stock or other equity awards (the “Equity Awards”) granted pursuant to any compensation plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries providing for the issuance of Equity Awards (the “Company Plans”), (A) each grant of an Equity Award was duly authorized no later than the date on which the grant of such Equity Award was by its terms to be effective by all necessary corporate action, and (B) each such grant was made in accordance with the terms of the Company Plans and all other applicable laws and regulatory rules or requirements.
Retention Award The Company shall pay the Executive $2,750,000, plus interest at the rate specified below (the “Retention Award”) in a lump-sum cash payment in July 2014, provided that the Executive remains employed through December 31, 2013. The Retention Award shall be credited with interest based on the Prime Rate of SunTrust Bank, Atlanta. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Executive is employed through December 31, 2013, the Company shall pay the Retention Award in July 2014 without regard for the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason between December 31, 2013 and July 2014.

Restricted Stock Unit Grant In consideration of the Executive’s entering into this Agreement and as an inducement to remain with the Company, the Executive shall be granted promptly following the Commencement Date, under the Stock Plan, an award of 14,063 restricted stock units to be settled in shares of the common stock of ART (the “Restricted Stock Units”), subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of ART. Such award shall be governed by the Stock Plan and a restricted stock unit award agreement between the Executive and ART. Subject to terms of the Stock Plan and the award agreement for the Restricted Stock Units, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest in equal one-third (1/3) installments on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant of such award, subject to the Executive’s continuous employment with the Company from the date of grant of such award through such vesting dates, except as otherwise provided in Section 7(b).
Annual Equity Grant During the first fiscal quarter of each year, or such other time as the Board, in its discretion, may determine, the Employee will receive an annual equity grant with a target value, measured as of the grant date, equal to the percentage of the Employee’s Salary determined by the Board or its designated committee, which for 2021 shall be 65% (the “Annual Equity Grant”). One-half of the Annual Equity Grant is expected to be in the form of restricted stock units or restricted share units with no performance restrictions or metrics associated with them, and which are expected to vest in three equal increments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The other one-half of the Annual Equity Grant is expected to be in the form of performance shares or performance restricted stock units, which will have Board-determined performance restrictions and metrics associated with them. The determination of how many of those performance shares or performance restricted stock units have been earned will be made by the Board on or about the first anniversary of the grant date, based on the financial performance of the Company during the prior fiscal year, and any performance shares or performance stock units deemed by the Board to be earned are expected to vest in two equal increments on or about each of the second and third anniversaries of the grant date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the determination of whether and when to make any Annual Equity Grant to Employee, and the design, nature and amount of any such Annual Equity Grant, shall be determined by the Board in its discretion. All Annual Equity Grants to Employee shall be subject to the terms of the grant agreement between Employer and Employee. In the event of a Change of Control, the Board or its designated committee will determine the manner in which any unvested restricted shares, performance shares, restricted stock units or other unvested equity grants will be treated, with respect to the amount and timing of the vesting of such unvested equity, to the extent that the same is not already addressed in the terms of the applicable grant agreement between the Employer and Employee.
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.
Restricted Stock Unit Award Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of Restricted Stock Units indicated in the Notice of Grant (the “RSUs”). Each RSU represents one notional Share.
