One hundred percent (100%) of Executive ‘s then-outstanding and unvested Equity Awards will become vested in full and in the case of stock options and stock appreciation rights, will become exercisable (for avoidance of doubt, no more than one hundred percent (l00%) of the shares subject to the outstanding portion of the Equity Awards may vest and become exercisable under this provision).

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company terminates Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause (and not by reason of Executive ‘s death or Disability) or if Executive resigns from such employment for Good Reason prior to a Change of Control, then any unvested portion of Executive’s outstanding Equity Awards will remain outstanding for three (3) months or the occurrence of a Change of Control (whichever is earlier) so that any acceleration benefits can be provided if a Change of Control occurs within three (3) months following such termination (provided that in no event will the Equity Award‘s remain outstanding beyond the Equity Award ‘s maximum term or expiration date) . In such case, if no Change of Control occurs within three (3) months following Executive ‘s termination, any unvested portion of Executive’s Equity Awards automatically will be forfeited without having vested.
