Vesting; Forfeiture (a) Subject to the Participant’s continued employment or service through the applicable vesting date and except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the Award shall vest at the time(s) set forth on the signature page hereto. The Administrator has authority to determine whether and to what degree the Award shall be deemed vested.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) herein, with respect to Employees and Consultants, in the event that the Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated due to a Qualifying Termination, then a pro-rata portion of the unvested Shares subject to the Award as of each applicable vesting date, determined as of the date of the Qualifying Termination in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(b), shall be deemed vested. The pro-rata portion of the unvested Shares subject to the Award that shall be deemed vested as of each applicable vesting date shall be determined by multiplying the total number of the unvested Shares subject to vesting on the applicable vesting date, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days from the Date of Grant through the date of the Qualifying Termination, and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days in the period commencing on the Date of Grant and ending on the applicable vesting date. The remaining unvested Shares subject to the Award shall be forfeited as of the date of the Qualifying Termination.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) herein, with respect to Directors, in the event that the Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated due to death or Disability, then the Award shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, become fully vested effective as of the Participant’s Termination Date.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 3(a) herein, in the event of a Change of Control, then the Award shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, become vested as follows:
(i) To the extent that the successor or surviving company in the Change of Control event does not assume or substitute for the Award (or in which the Company is the ultimate parent corporation and does not continue the Award) on substantially similar terms or with substantially equivalent economic benefits (as determined by the Administrator) as Awards outstanding under the Plan immediately prior to the Change of Control event, the Award shall become fully vested as of the date of the Change of Control.
(ii) Further, in the event that the Award is substituted, assumed or continued as provided in Section 3(d)(i) herein, the Award will nonetheless become vested if the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company and its Affiliates without Cause or by the Participant with Good Reason within six months before (in which case vesting shall not occur until the effective date of the Change of Control) or one year after the effective date of a Change of Control (in which case vesting shall occur as of the Participant’s Termination Date).
(e) If the Participant’s employment or service with the Company is terminated for any reason other than a Change of Control, a Qualifying Termination with respect to Employees and Consultants, or death or disability with respect to Directors as provided herein (including but not limited to a termination for Cause), the unvested portion of the Award shall immediately terminate and the Participant shall have no rights with respect to the Award or the Shares underlying the unvested portion of the Award.
