2. Vesting and Forfeiture.
(a) Performance Based Vesting. Subject to the other terms contained in this Award Document, the Shares shall become vested on the dates set forth below (each, a “Vesting Date”), subject to the continued employment of the Grantee by the Company or Affiliate thereof through each such Vesting Date, as to the specified portion of the Shares indicated:
Vesting Date | Vested Percentage | |||
Attainment of an Average Share Price for a share of Common Stock of $12.50 | 50 | % | ||
Attainment of an Average Share Price for a share of Common Stock of $14.00 | 100 | % |
For these purposes, the “Average Share Price” shall be determined based on the volume weighted trading price of shares of Common Stock over any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading days. The share price targets in the foregoing table shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the Common Stock after the Grant Date.
(b) Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee’s Shares shall become fully vested on the occurrence of a Change in Control.
(c) Forfeiture of Unvested Shares.

(d) Rights as a Stockholder. Except as expressly provided herein or in the Plan, the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares unless and until such Shares are forfeited.
(e) Withholding for Taxes. Withholding of any portion of the Shares in connection with the Company’s withholding obligations arising on account of the vesting of the Shares shall be deemed to be a taxable repurchase of such withheld Shares for federal income tax purposes at the time that occurs.

In the event any dividends are paid to shareholders during the period following the Grant Date and up to the date any of the Shares are vested, the Grantee shall be entitled to a payment, at the same time the relevant Shares become vested, equal to the amount that was paid as dividends with respect to such Shares. In the event the underlying Shares are forfeited, the dividends potentially payable to the Grantee shall also be forfeited.
