(d) If there is a Change in Control, then all options and performance shares that have not vested will accelerate and vest immediately. Performance shares awarded to Executive pursuant to the Guidelines shall be valued at 100 percent as though the Company had achieved its target for each relevant plan period. The Executive shall be entitled to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon the vesting of each Performance Share.
