(i) The Company’s termination of Executive for Cause (as defined in Section 6 below) (“Termination for Cause”);

(ii) The Company’s termination of Executive without Cause (as defined in Section 6 below), which determination may be made by the Company at any time at the Company’s sole discretion, for any or no reason (“Termination Without Cause”);

(iii) The delivery of a written notice sent to the Company from Executive stating that Executive is electing to terminate his employment with the Company with Good Reason (as defined in Section 6 below) (“Termination for Good Reason”); or

(iv) The delivery of a written notice sent to the Company from Executive stating that Executive is electing to terminate his employment with the Company without Good Reason or the occurrence of Executive’s death or Disability.

(b) Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of Executive’s employment by the Company or by Executive (other than termination due to Executive’s death, which shall terminate Executive’s employment automatically) shall be communicated by a written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 13(c). For purposes of this Agreement, “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice that shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement (if any) relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

(c) Date of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s death, the date of Executive’s death; or (ii) if Executive’s employment terminates for any reason other than death, the date specified in the Notice of Termination.

(d) Board of Directors. Upon the Date of Termination, Executive shall immediately resign from the Board of Directors of the Company and the board of directors or comparable body of every subsidiary, parent or other affiliated corporation of the Company, and every committee thereof.

5. Severance Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to receive severance benefits upon termination of employment only as set forth in this Section 5:

(a) Payments on Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates as a result of a Termination Without Cause or in the event Executive resigns from employment in a Termination for Good Reason, Executive will be entitled to receive the following severance and other benefits:

(i) Accrued Base Salary. The Company shall pay to Executive his full earned but unpaid Base Salary through the Date of Termination. In addition the Company shall pay to Executive all other amounts to which Executive is entitled under any compensation plan or practice of the Company on the Date of Termination, including payments as to accrued but unused vacation.

3

(ii) Severance Pay Based on Base Salary and Bonus. Provided that Executive first provides the Company with and does not revoke an executed and effective release of claims arising under this Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Company and complies with his obligations under Section 4(d) of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Executive in a single lump sum twelve (12) months of his Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to delivery of the Notice of Termination plus a pro rata portion of Executive’s Annual Bonus for the year in which Executive terminates employment based on the number of completed days of such year prior to the Date of Termination and determined assuming all applicable performance targets are attained at the 100% level.

(b) Special Option Acceleration upon Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason following a Change in Control. In the event of Executive’s Termination Without Cause or in the event Executive resigns from employment in a Termination for Good Reason, in either case within the twelve month period commencing on the consummation of a Change in Control, then in addition to any other benefits to which Executive may be entitled under Section 5(a) above and provided that Executive first provides the Company with and does not revoke an executed and effective release of claims arising under this Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Company and complies with his obligations under Section 4(d) of this Agreement, Executive shall immediately become vested with respect to 100% of the options to purchase the Company’s capital stock that Executive then holds (including the options referenced in Section 3(d) and any other options to purchase the Company’s capital stock then held by Executive), effective on the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may, in his discretion, reject such immediate vesting and/or surrender vested options to the extent such vesting, together with any other payments in which Executive may become entitled in connection with such Change of Control, could result in the imposition of an excise tax under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Prior to making any payment or accelerating any option vesting pursuant to Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) on or following the date of the consummation of a Change of Control, the Company shall perform all necessary calculations to determine whether the provisions of Section 5(a) and/or 5(b) might trigger any excise tax payable by Executive pursuant to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.

(c) Death, Disability; Termination for Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated as a result of Executive’s death or Disability or as a result of Executive’s election to terminate his employment for any reason (other than a Termination for Good Reason) or in the event of Executive’s Termination for Cause, then Executive shall not be entitled to receive payment of any severance or other benefits described in this Section 5. Executive will receive payment(s) for all earned but unpaid Base Salary and unpaid vacation accrued as of the Date of Termination plus all other amounts to which Executive is entitled under any compensation plan or practice of the Company in effect on the Date of Termination.

4

(d) No Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 5 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 5 be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer or self-employment, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amounts (other than loans or advances to Executive by the Company) claimed to be owed by Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

6. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:

(a) “Cause” for Executive’s termination shall mean (A) the Executive’s willful and material failure substantially to perform his lawful duties to the Company (other than as a result of total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness) or Executive’s willful and material failure to follow the lawful direction of the Board of Directors, (B) material dishonesty in the performance of the Executive’s duties to the Company, (C) conviction of a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, (D) the Executive’s willful and material misconduct in connection with the Executive’s duties to the Company or any willful act or omission which is materially injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or (E) the Executive’s willful and material breach of the terms of this Agreement or any non-compete, non-solicitation or confidentiality provisions to which the Executive is subject; provided, that any act or omission that is or would constitute grounds for a Termination for Cause shall not constitute such grounds for a Termination for Cause if: (A) the Company does not send a Notice of Termination to Executive within 45 days after the event occurs; or (B) in regard to section 6(a)(A) or (E), above, the Executive cures the act or omission that would give rise to a Termination for Cause within 20 days after the delivery of the Notice of Termination.

(b) “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any “person” or “group” (as those terms are defined in Sections 3(a)(9), 13(d), and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules thereunder) of “beneficial ownership” (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (“voting securities”) of the Company that represent 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities, other than

(A) an acquisition by a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any person controlled by the Company or by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any person controlled by the Company, or

(B) an acquisition of voting securities by the Company or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the stock of the Company, or

(C) an acquisition of voting securities pursuant to a transaction described in clause (iii) below that would not be a Change in Control under clause (iii);

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither of the following events shall constitute an “acquisition” by any person or group for purposes of this clause (i): (x) a change in the voting power of the Company’s voting securities based on the relative trading values of the Company’s then outstanding securities as determined pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, or (y) an acquisition of the Company’s securities by the Company which, either alone or in combination only with the other event, causes the Company’s voting securities beneficially owned by a person or group to represent 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; provided, however, that if a person or group shall become the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities by reason of share acquisitions by the Company as described above and shall, after such share acquisitions by the Company, become the beneficial owner of any additional voting securities of the Company, then such acquisition shall constitute a Change in Control;

(iii) the consummation by the Company (whether directly involving the Company or indirectly involving the Company through one or more intermediaries) of (x) a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination or (y) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (z) the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity, in each case, other than a transaction

(A) which results in the Company’s voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the Company or the person that, as a result of the transaction, controls, directly or indirectly, the Company or owns, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or otherwise succeeds to the business of the Company (the Company or such person, the “Successor Entity”)) directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity’s outstanding voting securities immediately after the transaction, and

6

(B) after which more than 50% of the members of the board of directors of the Successor Entity were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the Board’s approval of the agreement providing for the transaction or other action of the Board approving the transaction, and

(C) after which no person or group beneficially owns voting securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity; provided, however, that no person or group shall be treated for purposes of this clause (C) as beneficially owning 50% or more of combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a result of the voting power held in the Company and the other entity prior to the consummation of the transaction; or

(iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

For purposes of clause (i) above, the calculation of voting power shall be made as if the date of the acquisition were a record date for a vote of the Company’s shareholders, and for purposes of clause (iii) above, the calculation of voting power shall be made as if the date of the consummation of the transaction were a record date for a vote of the Company’s shareholders.

(i) a reduction in Executive’s base salary, target bonus or benefits as in effect immediately prior to such reduction;

(ii) the assignment to or removal from Executive of duties or responsibilities that result in a material diminution in Executive’s overall duties, authority or scope of responsibilities;

(iii) the relocation of Executive’s employment to a facility or a location more than thirty (30) miles from Executive’s then present location, without the Executive’s consent; or

(iv) failure of a successor upon a Change of Control to assume in writing and without qualification all obligations under this Agreement.

Provided, further, that an event that is or would constitute grounds for a resignation for Good Reason shall not constitute such grounds for a resignation for Good Reason if: (A) Executive does not send a Notice of Termination to the Company within forty-five (45) days after the event occurs; or (B) the Company reverses the action or cures the default that would give rise to a Termination for Good Reason within twenty (20) days after the delivery of the Notice of Termination.

7

Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance described above which may give rise to a Termination for Good Reason.
