or after that Change in Control, (b) either (i) your employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated (as defined herein), or (ii) you resign your employment for good reason (being one of the two following reasons: either
(a) a material reduction in the annual rate of your on target earnings by the Company, without your written consent; or (b) a material change in the geographic location of your place of employment without your written consent, with a
relocation of more than fifty (50) miles to be deemed material for this purpose), then this stock option will accelerate as follows:      percent (    %) of the then-unvested 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

negligence; (e) willfully breached the Employment, Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement; or (f) made any willful unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company (or any
parent or subsidiary). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this stock option will not be subject to acceleration unless you (i) return all Company property on or before your termination date: and (ii) you sign and return the
Company’s standard General Release and Waiver of Claims Agreement (the “Release”), and the Release becomes effective within thirty (30) days following your termination date in accordance with applicable law; and (b) nothing
herein shall operate to amend or modify the definitions of “cause”, “good reason” or “involuntary termination” that may be reflected in your offer letter from the Company.
