 vesting of any award continued, assumed or replaced is subject to satisfaction of specified performance goals, the number of units that would vest will be equal to (A) if the accelerated vesting event occurs before the last day of the performance period, the target number of units, prorated based on the period of time during the performance period prior to the termination, or (B) if the accelerated vesting event occurs on or after the last day of the performance period, the number of units will be determined based on the actual level of achievement of the performance goals. The 2022 Equity Incentive Plan and related award agreements also provide that if any outstanding award is not continued, assumed or replaced in connection with a change in control involving a corporate transaction, then (i) all outstanding options and SARs will become fully vested and exercisable for a period of time prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction and will then terminate at the effective time of the corporate transaction, and (ii) all full value awards will fully vest.

Alternatively, if outstanding awards are not continued, assumed or replaced, the Compensation Committee may elect to cancel such awards at or immediately prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction in exchange for a payment with respect to each award in an amount equal to the excess, if any, between the fair market value of the consideration that would otherwise be received in the corporate transaction for the same number of shares over the aggregate exercise price (if any) for the shares subject to such award (or, if there is no excess, such award may be terminated without payment).
