 event of death, disability, a retirement approved by the Company, or termination of employment by the Company without cause, the award agreements generally provide that ACI will provide the employee a pro-rata portion of the PSUs during the full fiscal quarters completed during the applicable performance period until the date of termination based on the shares earned through the end of the full performance period. Such amounts will be paid as soon as practicable after determination of the number of shares earned under PSU awards. Upon the close of a change in control, the performance period for our PSAs will be truncated and the actual performance will be measured. The earned awards will then convert to RSUs with a vesting schedule equal to the PSAs.

RSUs. The award agreements for RSUs generally provide that if any employee, including a Named Executive Officer, voluntarily terminates employment with ACI or we terminated the Named Executive Officer’s employment for any reason, the Named Executive Officer forfeits all unvested RSUs. However, the award agreements also generally provide that if the Named Executive Officer’s employment terminates due to death or disability, all RSUs will immediately vest upon their termination due to death or disability.
