AGREEMENT

In case of termination without Cause (excluding death or Disability) or if Executive resigns from employment for Good Reason within the Group and, in each case, such termination occurs outside of the Change of Control Period, then Mr. Belliveau will receive nine (9) months of accelerated vesting with respect to all then unvested Equity Awards and such Equity Awards shall become immediately exercisable or, in the case of such shares as are subject to repurchase by the Company for the purchase price paid, no longer subject to such repurchase.

In case of termination without Cause (excluding death or Disability) or if Executive resigns from such employment for Good Reason within the Group, and in each case, such termination occurs during the Change of Control Period, one hundred percent (100%) of Mr. Belliveau’s then-outstanding and unvested Equity Awards will become vested in full. If, however, an outstanding Equity Award is to vest and/or the amount of the award to vest is to be determined based on the achievement of performance criteria, then the Equity Award will vest as to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Equity Award assuming the performance criteria had been achieved at target levels for the relevant performance period(s).

If Executive’s employment within the Group terminates (i) voluntarily by Executive (other than for Good Reason) or (ii) for Cause by the Company, then Executive will not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may then be established under the Company’s then existing severance and benefits plans and practices or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company.

If the Executive’s employment within the Group terminates as a result of Executive’s Disability, or Executive’s employment terminates due to Executive’s death, then, Executive’s then outstanding and unvested Equity Awards will vest as if Executive’s termination were treated as a termination without Cause.

A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (iii), the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets: (A) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (B) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (1) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock, (2) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (3) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company, or (4) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in this subsection 2.2 (iii).
