The Awards are contingent upon the Named Executive Officers' continuous employment with the Company and maintaining good standing through December 31, 2025. Should a Named Executive Officer resign or be terminated for cause prior to that date, he will forfeit payment of the Award in its entirety if the Award has not yet been paid. If the Award has already been paid to the Named Executive Officer and he resigns or is terminated for cause before December 31, 2025, the Company will be entitled to deduct the amount of the Award from any amounts it owes to the Named Executive Officer. Additionally, the Named Executive Officer will be required to repay any remaining amount of the Award paid within ten (10) calendar days from the date of separation if he owes more than the Company owes the Named Executive Officer in his final salary payment from the Company.
