“Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company employs Employee to serve in a non-executive officer position as EVP, Executive, or in such other capacity as may be mutually agreed by the parties. Employee accepts such employment and agrees to undertake and provide the following transition services (collectively, the “Transition Services”) in a full-time capacity:

(iv)

Subject to Section 26(b) hereof, all stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and other equity-based incentive awards granted by Company that were outstanding but not vested as of the Date of Termination shall become vested and/or payable in accordance with the vesting terms and dates specified in the applicable grant agreements (including the achievement of any stated performance metrics for a given performance period), subject to and contingent upon Employee’s continued compliance with the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in the respective grant agreements and Section 13 of the Agreement.

(b)

(c)

(i)

(ii)

Only if such termination occurs upon the expiration of the applicable Employment Term, Company shall pay Employee on or before March 15 of the year following the applicable performance year, the actual Annual Bonus that would have been earned by Employee for 2024 (only if such Annual Bonus for 2024 has not been already paid to Employee prior to the Date of Termination) and for 2025, in each case, based upon attainment of performance objectives established by Company, and for performance year 2025 prorated to reflect the percentage of the calendar year completed before the Date of Termination;
