The Retention Agreement also provides that in the event Mr. Nanda&#8217;s employment is terminated without cause prior to May 30, 2023, his outstanding unvested equity awards will continue to vest on their normal schedule until May 30, 2023.  The Retention Agreement also subjects Mr. Nanda to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for a one-year period following the date of his retirement.
