agreement between Participant and the Company or express significant policies of the Company. If the Company terminates Participant’s employment for Cause, the Company shall give Participant written notice setting forth the reason for Participant’s termination not later than 30 days after such termination.

(b)    “Good Reason” shall have the meaning set forth in any employment, severance or other agreement between the Company and the Participant, and in the event no such agreement exists (or such an agreement exists but does not include a definition for the term “Good Reason”), shall mean Participant’s resignation within 90 days after (i) a reduction in Participant’s base salary of 10% or more (unless the reduction is applicable to all similarly situated employees); (ii) a reduction in Participant’s annual short-term bonus target of 10% or more (unless the reduction is applicable to all similarly situated employees); (iii) a significant diminution in Participant’s job responsibilities, duties or authority; (iv) a change in the geographic location of Participant’s primary reporting location of more than 50 miles; and/or (v) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of this Agreement.

The Company shall have a reasonable period of time (not less than 30 days) to take action to correct, rescind or substantially reverse the occurrence supporting termination for Good Reason as identified by Participant. Failure by the Company to act or respond to the written notice shall not be deemed to be an admission that Good Reason exists.

5.    Dividend Equivalents. If the Restricted Stock Units are outstanding on the record date for dividends or other distributions with respect to the Common Stock, then the dollar amount or fair market value of such dividends or distributions with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock then underlying the Restricted Stock Units shall be converted into additional Restricted Stock Units in Participant’s name, based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date such dividends or distributions are paid (rounded down to the nearest whole Restricted Stock Unit), with any fractional Restricted Stock Units converted into a right to receive an equivalent amount in cash. Any additional Restricted Stock Units or cash pursuant to this Section 5 shall vest at the same time and in the same manner as the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable vest, and will be paid to the Participant in accordance with the Payment Dates set forth in Section 4 above.

With respect to withholding required upon any taxable event arising as a result of this award, the employer shall satisfy the tax withholding required by withholding shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and, where applicable, its Affiliates will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Participant.
