Vesting Acceleration means the service-based vesting (but not performance-based) of the shares subject to any Equity Awards held by a Participant on the date of termination of a Participant’s employment will be accelerated either in full or as to a number of months as provided in the table above. In the case of Equity Awards that are options or stock appreciation rights, such awards will also remain exercisable for the applicable post-termination exercise period contained in the award documents for options were granted prior to the Effective Date and qualify as incentive stock options. For clarity, the Vesting Acceleration severance benefit provided in the Policy does not waive the satisfaction of any Performance Condition contained in an Equity Award, and the requirements to satisfy any Performance Condition or calculate the number of shares eligible to vest tied to a Performance Condition will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the award agreement evidencing the particular Equity Award. Participant’s Equity Awards shall otherwise remain subject to the terms of the applicable plan and award documents under which such Equity Award was granted (including but not limited to any provisions with respect to forfeiture on a termination for Cause) and, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Policy, no Equity Award shall remain outstanding later than the last day of its original full term.
