The New Offer Letter also provides that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of Mr. DeWalt’s restricted stock unit agreements or related documentation with the Company, (i) with respect to Mr. DeWalt’s award of time-based Company restricted stock units granted to him on February 10, 2015, 16/22 of the restricted stock units that remain eligible to vest thereunder as of the Transition (rounded to the nearest whole share) will continue to vest on December 31, 2016 provided he remains in continuous Qualifying Service through such date, and the remaining portion of such award will be forfeited, cancelled and terminated effective as of the Transition, (ii) with respect to Mr. DeWalt’s award of restricted stock units with performance-based vesting granted to him on February 10, 2015, 16/22 of the restricted stock units that remain eligible to vest thereunder as of the Transition (rounded to the nearest whole share) will continue to vest on December 31, 2016 provided he remains in continuous Qualifying Service through such date, and the remaining portion of such award shall be forfeited, cancelled and terminated effective as of the Transition, (iii) with respect to Mr. DeWalt’s award of time-based Company restricted stock units granted to him on February 9, 2016, all of the restricted stock units that remain eligible to vest thereunder as of the Transition will be forfeited, cancelled and terminated effective as of the Transition, and (iv) with respect to Mr. DeWalt’s award of restricted stock units with performance-based vesting granted to him on February 9, 2016, all of the restricted stock units that remain eligible to vest thereunder as of the Transition will be forfeited, cancelled and terminated effective as of the Transition.
