If the Company terminates Employee’s employment under this Agreement for any reason other than Cause (other than due to the Employee’s death or Disability), or Employee terminates Employee’s employment under this Agreement for Good Reason, and Employee satisfies the release requirements of Section 5(e) (a “Qualified Termination”), then in addition to the Accrued Benefits, Employee shall be entitled to:

(ii) (a) in the case of a Qualified Termination that occurs within three (3) months prior to, upon, or within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, one and one-half (1.5) times Employee’s target Annual Bonus amount (at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Severance Date), payable in a lump sum on (or within ten (10) days after) the sixtieth (60th) day following the Severance Date, or (b) in the case of any other Qualified Termination, one (1) times Employee’s target Annual Bonus amount (at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Severance Date), payable in a lump sum on (or within ten (10) days after) the sixtieth (60th) day following the Severance Date (provided that in the event of a Qualified Termination that occurs prior to a Change in Control and as to which the provisions of clause (a) above apply, the provisions of clause (a) above shall control but the payment to be made pursuant to clause (a) shall be made on the later of the date otherwise provided in clause (a) or the date of the Change in Control and such payment shall be reduced by any payments made, prior to the date of such payment pursuant to clause (a), pursuant to clause (b));

(iii) payment (at the time such Annual Bonus would otherwise be paid) of the Annual Bonus (if any) that Employee earned for the calendar year preceding the year in which the Severance Date occurs, to the extent not previously paid and disregarding the usual requirement to be employed on the bonus payment date;

(iv) a lump sum payment of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) as outplacement assistance, payable on (or within ten (10) days after) the sixtieth (60th) day following the Severance Date;

(vi) in the case of a Qualified Termination that occurs within three (3) months prior to, upon or in connection with or within twelve (12) months after Change in Control, as to each stock option, restricted stock unit and other equity-based award granted by the Company to Employee that is outstanding immediately prior to the Severance Date, Employee shall fully vest in any time and service-based vesting conditions applicable to the award, with any performance-based vesting requirements to be treated as provided for in the applicable award agreement.”

The last sentence of Section 5(e) of the Employment Agreement (regarding the timing of certain payments of severance that would otherwise be made before the release contemplated by the Employment Agreement had become effective) is hereby deleted in its entirety as the timing of such severance payments is now set forth in the amended Section 5(c) of the Employment Agreement.
