that Change in Control, (b) either (i) your employment with the Company is

shares will become vested and fully exercisable upon your termination or
resignation. For purposes of this section, “involuntary termination” shall mean
a termination without cause, and “cause” shall mean a determination in the
reasonable good faith of the Company that you have: (a) engaged in any act of
fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty or any other act in violation of the law,

following your termination date in accordance with applicable law; and
