If Mr. Ashworth’s employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated by the Company for any reason other than termination for cause, or is terminated by Mr. Ashworth for good reason, then, subject to Mr. Ashworth’s execution of the release of claims in favor of the Company, any portion of the Special Incentive Bonus Award that has not vested prior to the date of termination of Mr. Ashworth’s employment will immediately vest. If Mr. Ashworth’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of death or disability, then any portion of the Special Incentive Bonus Award that has not vested prior to the date of termination of Mr. Ashworth’s employment will immediately vest. If Mr. Ashworth’s employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated for cause or Mr. Ashworth is terminated for any other reason not already described above, then any portion of the Special Incentive Bonus Award that has not vested prior to the date on which Mr. Ashworth’s employment is terminated will immediately be forfeited and Mr. Ashworth shall have no further rights with respect to such Special Incentive Bonus Award. In the event of a change in control, the Special Incentive Bonus Award will vest as follows: (a) 50% of the Special Incentive Bonus Award will immediately vest on the date of the change in control, and (b) 50% of the Special Incentive Bonus Award will vest on the first anniversary of the date of the change in control.
