Cessation of Employment. Except as described in Exhibit A attached hereto, automatically and immediately upon the cessation of the Participant’s Employment any then unvested RSUs and, if such termination is for Cause or occurs in circumstances that in the determination of the Administrator would have constituted grounds for the Participant’s Employment to be terminated for Cause (in each case, without regard to the lapsing of any required notice or cure periods in connection therewith), any vested RSUs will terminate and be forfeited for no consideration.

Termination. 1 Except as provided in Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 below, upon the termination of Participant's Employment for any reason, whether with or without Cause, for good reason or otherwise, any then unvested RSUs shall be automatically cancelled and forfeited and shall be returned to the Company for no consideration.

In the event that the Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant for any reason or no reason, with or without Cause, including in the case of resignation or dismissal with or without Cause, all of the RSUs that are unvested as of the time of such cessation shall be forfeited immediately and automatically to the Company, without the payment of any consideration to the Participant, effective as of such cessation and the Participant will not be entitled to any compensation in relation to any unvested RSUs. The Participant shall have no further rights with respect to the unvested RSUs or any Common Stock that may have been issuable with respect thereto.

The Participant shall have no further rights with respect to the unvested RSUs or any Common Stock that may have been issuable with respect thereto.

Unless otherwise provided in Exhibit B to the Grant Notice, in the event of Participant’s Termination of Service prior to the vesting of all of the RSUs, any unvested RSUs will terminate automatically without any further action by the Company and be forfeited without further notice and at no cost to the Company.

If the Participant's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause or by the Participant without Good Reason, then any unvested RSUs shall be forfeited and all of the Participant's rights hereunder with respect to such unvested RSUs (and any Dividend Equivalent Rights, as defined below) shall cease as of the effective date of such termination of employment.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, if the Participant ceases to be employed or providing services for any reason by the Company or by an Affiliate (the “Termination”) prior to a vesting date set forth in the Grant Detail, then as of the date on which the Participant’s employment or service terminates, all unvested RSUs shall immediately be forfeited to the Company and this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

The RSUs will vest according to the vesting schedule set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto except that any fraction of an RSU that would otherwise be vested will be accumulated and will vest only when a whole RSU has accumulated. In the event of Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, all unvested RSUs will immediately and automatically be cancelled and forfeited, except as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, or otherwise determined by the Administrator or provided in a binding written agreement between Participant and the Company.
