Any unvested portion of the PV RSUs will be forfeited after five years. In the event of a change of control of the Company; if not already vested, one-third of the PV RSUs will vest if the closing price of the Company's common stock (or the price per share in the corporate transaction that constitutes the change of control) on the date of such change of control is at least $3.00, an additional one-third will vest if such price is $4.50; an additional one-third will vest if such price is $6.
