post-termination exercise period and including a provision to the effect that, for purposes of the CPEX Options, continuous service with the Bentley Group or CPEX Group (in each case, including applicable successors) from and after the Distribution Date shall be deemed to constitute service with CPEX.

(iv) Except as otherwise provided herein, the CPEX Options and the Post-Distribution Bentley Options shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the underlying Bentley Option as in effect immediately prior to the Distribution Date (taking into account changes in the identity of the employer, including for purposes of determining whether a change in control has occurred).
