d) Change in Control.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause within twelve months following a Change in Control, all unvested Options shall become immediately vested and exercisable.

(ii) If the Option Award is not assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, all unvested Options shall become immediately vested and exercisable.
