Section 1(c) shall be subject to satisfaction of the same vesting, payment and other terms, conditions and restrictions as the original Units to which they relate; provided, however, that the amount of any earned Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be paid in cash at the same time as the related Units. No crediting of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be made pursuant to this Section 1(c) with respect to any Units which, immediately prior to the record date for that dividend, have been paid out or forfeited pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
3. Prohibition Against Transfer. Until vesting and payout, the Units subject to the Award, and any interest in the Shares and the rights granted under this Agreement are not transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes. Until vesting and payout, the Units subject to the Award, and any interest in the Shares related thereto, may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, charge, alienation or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.
4. Securities Law Requirements. The Company shall not be required to issue Shares pursuant to the Award, to the extent required, unless and until (a) such Shares have been duly listed upon each stock exchange on which the Common Shares is then registered; and (b) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to such Shares is then effective.
5. Incorporation of Plan Provisions. This Agreement is made pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
6. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Grantee. The Agreement and the Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Corporation without the consent of the Grantee). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular tax result for the Grantee with respect to any income recognized by the Grantee in connection with the Agreement is guaranteed, and the Grantee solely shall be responsible for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on the Grantee under Section 409A in connection with the Agreement. Reference to Section 409A of the Code will also include any regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.
7. Tax Withholding.
(a) Grantees Other Than UK Grantees. The Grantee shall pay all applicable income and employment taxes (including taxes of any foreign jurisdiction, and any taxes payable in connection with a Dividend Equivalent Right or in connection with Article 10 of this Agreement (Beneficiary Designation)) which the Company or a Subsidiary is required to withhold at any time with respect to the Units. Such payment shall be made in full, at the Grantee’s election, in cash or check, by withholding from the Grantee’s next normal payroll check, or by the relinquishment of Shares that otherwise would be issued to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement. If payment of withholding tax obligations, or satisfactory payment arrangements, are not made by the Grantee on a timely basis, payment will be made by the relinquishment of Shares method. Shares tendered as payment of required withholding shall be valued at the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date such withholding obligation arises.
(b) UK Grantees. By executing this Agreement, the Grantee agrees with the Company (for itself and on behalf of the Grantee’s employing company (the “Employer”)) that the Company (or, if it is the secondary contributor in respect of the Grantee for the purposes of national insurance contributions, the Employer) may recover from the Grantee (by deduction or otherwise) an amount equal to any secondary Class 1 contributions payable in respect of the acquisition by the Grantee of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement, together with any income tax and primary Class 1 contributions due under the Pay As You Earn system in respect of any Shares acquired by the Grantee pursuant to this
