Vesting of Awards In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving or successor entity (or its parent corporation) may continue, assume or replace awards granted to the Executive under the terms of the 2013 Equity Plan that are outstanding as of the Change in Control, and such awards or replacements therefore shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms. If and to the extent that outstanding awards granted to the Executive under the terms of the 2013 Equity Plan are not continued, assumed or replaced in connection with a Change in Control, then the vesting of such awards shall be accelerated and such awards shall become immediately fully vested and, in the case of options, exercisable in full as of the Change in Control. With respect to outstanding awards granted to the Executive under the terms of the 2013 Equity Plan that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, the level of achievement of the performance-based vesting conditions shall be measured consistent with the original terms of the award to preserve the intent of the metrics, and to the extent performance can no longer be reasonably measured consistent with the original terms, the vesting of such awards shall be accelerated and such awards shall become immediately fully vested and, in the case of options, exercisable in full as of the Change in Control.
