To be eligible for all the benefits of the relocation program, you must work with the designated relocation partner approved service providers. In the event of your voluntary or involuntary termination for Cause before December 31, 2020, you will be required to repay relocation assistance payments as follows: such relocation assistance payments shall vest in equal monthly installments between July 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020 and, if terminated as described above, you (i) will repay any unvested payments already made and (ii) will not be entitled to receive any future payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relocation assistance payments shall not exceed $300,000 in the aggregate.
