Vesting. (a)The Restricted Stock Units shall vest, if at all, as provided in the Vesting Schedule set forth in your Grant Notice, this Award Agreement, and the Plan, provided that vesting shall cease upon the termination of your Service, except as otherwise set forth herein. (b)If your Service terminates due to your death or Disability, then you will be given credit for an additional twelve (12) months of continuous Service such that the number of Restricted Stock Units that otherwise would have vested h...ad your Service continued for an additional twelve (12) months following your termination will accelerate and become vested as of the date of your Service termination; provided, however, that in no event shall such applicable vesting exceed 100% of the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award. For purposes of this provision, (i) your Service shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if your death occurs within three (3) months after your termination of Service, and (ii) "Disability" shall mean your permanent and total disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder to the extent not inconsistent with the regulations under Section 409A of the Code. Except as set forth in this Section 1(b), any Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award that have not vested at the time of your termination of Service for any or no reason will be forfeited immediately and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Company at no cost to the Company. (c)For purposes of the Award, your Service will be considered terminated as of the date you are no longer actively providing Service to the Participating Company Group (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Award Agreement or determined by the Participating Company Group, your right to vest in the Award under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of "garden leave" or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing Service for purposes of your Award (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence). Any such determination by the Company (or any Participating Company, as applicable) for the purposes of this Award Agreement shall have no effect upon any determination of the rights or obligations of you or the Company (or any Participating Company, as applicable) for any other purpose. (d)The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Restricted Stock Units at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Restricted Stock Units will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Committee. Notwithstanding Section 5 and in accordance with Section 16, the payment of shares of Stock vesting pursuant to this Section 1(d) shall in all cases be paid at a time or in a manner that is exempt from, or complies with, Section 409A.2.Number of Restricted Stock Units and Underlying Shares of Stock. (a)The Restricted Stock Units subject to your Award and the shares of Stock deliverable with respect to such Restricted Stock Units will be adjusted from time to time for capitalization adjustments, as provided in Section 4.2 of the Plan. (b)Any additional Restricted Stock Units, shares of Stock, cash or other property that become subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 2 shall be subject, in a manner determined by the Committee, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the other Restricted Stock Units and shares of Stock covered by your Award. (c)Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2, no fractional Restricted Stock Units or rights for fractional shares of Stock shall be created pursuant to this Section 2. The Board shall, in its discretion, determine an equivalent benefit for any fractional Restricted Stock Units or fractional shares that might be created by the adjustments referred to in this Section 2.
