Restricted Stock Units. (a) Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock Units in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. No Shares will be issued at the time a Restricted Stock Unit is granted, and the Company will not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of any such Award. (b) Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. Each Award of a Restricted Stock Unit will be e...videnced by an Award Agreement that will specify the number of Shares subject to the Award, the vesting criteria, whether the Award is settled in cash, in Shares or in a combination thereof, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. (c) Vesting Criteria. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, will set vesting criteria which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business unit or individual goals (including continued employment or service), or any other basis determined by the Administrator. (d) Earning Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout. (e) Timing and Form of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made at the time, and in the form, set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, but in no event later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which such Restricted Stock Units became vested, except to the extent payment is deferred under an arrangement approved by the Administrator, in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Settlement of earned Restricted Stock Units may, in the Administrator's sole discretion, be in cash, in Shares or in some combination thereof. (f) Return of Restricted Stock Units to Company.
