Your Cash Award will be paid out at the Target Level on a prorated basis based on the number of days elapsed from the beginning of the Performance Period up to and including the date of the Termination of Employment.
(iv) In the event of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, if the Cash Award has not been forfeited, your Cash Award will vest immediately upon such Change in Control.
