- Qualifying Separation from Service: Full acceleration of vesting occurs if the CEO is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, provided this is not in connection with a change in control.
- Change in Control: If a Qualifying Separation occurs in connection with a change in control that triggers a lump-sum payment under the employment agreement, all RSUs are forfeited.
