If a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs, all of the restricted stock units then unvested as of the date of the Change in Control will vest immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control transaction.

All shares underlying this Option shall vest and become exercisable upon the earlier of (a) one year from the date of grant or (b) the close of business on the day prior to the Company's 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, in either case, so long as the Participant (as defined in the Plan) has not earlier terminated his continuous status as a Service Provider (as defined in the Plan).

This Option will be exercisable for twelve (12) months after Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, unless such termination is due to Participant's death, Disability (as defined in the Plan), or Cause (as defined in the Plan).
