Each Deferred Cash RSU Award or Deferred Cash PSU Award will, subject to the holder's continued service with Parent or its affiliates through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable on the earlier of (i) the same time as the Unvested RSU or Unvested PSU for which the Deferred Cash RSU Award or Deferred Cash PSU Award, respectively, was exchanged would have vested and been payable pursuant to its service-based vesting schedule and (ii) December 28, 2023, in each case, subject to full accelerated vesting upon a termination of employment with Parent or its affiliates without "cause" or a resignation for "good reason."
