Vesting Acceleration of Service-based Awards. Vesting acceleration of one hundred percent (100%) of any Service-based Awards that are outstanding and unvested as of the date of the Qualifying Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of Executive’s Qualifying Termination that occurs prior to a Change in Control, any then outstanding and unvested portion of Executive’s Awards will remain outstanding (and unvested) until the earlier of (x) one (1) month following the Qualifying Termination, or (y) a Change in Control that occurs within one (1) month following the Qualifying Termination, solely so that any benefits due on a Qualifying Termination can be provided if the Qualifying Termination occurs during the Change in Control Period (provided that in no event will Executive’s stock option Awards or similar Awards remain outstanding beyond the Award’s maximum term to expiration). If no Change in Control occurs within one (1) month following a Qualifying Termination, any unvested portion of Executive’s Awards automatically and permanently will be forfeited on the date one (1) month following the date of the Qualifying Termination without having vested.
