The shares underlying the Option shall vest as follows: (i) 10,000 shares shall be vested as of the effective date of this Agreement, and (ii) 10,000 shares shall vest on each of the next nine anniversaries of the effective date of this Agreement, provided that the Executive is still employed with the Corporation on each such date. If a Change in Control transaction occurs during the Term, then any shares that have not vested under the Option will vest immediately upon the closing of the Change of Control transaction. To the extent legally permitted, the Option shall be an incentive stock option. The Option shall have a term of ten (10) years.”
