(b)

to ensure that Participants who are employed by the Company and or its Affiliates do not (i) solicit or assist in the solicitation of employees of the Company or any affiliate for a specified period, or (ii) disclose any confidential or proprietary information of the Company or any affiliate prior to or after a Change of Control.

2.3

Board: The Board of Directors of Implant Sciences Corporation or any successor entity thereto.

Change of Control:  means the occurrence of an event or series of events which qualify as a change in control event for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(5), including:

(i)

A change in the ownership of the Company, which shall occur on the date that any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group (as defined below), other than Excluded Person(s) (as defined below), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock then held by such Person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company. However, if any one Person or more than one Person Acting as a Group is considered to own more than fifty (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same Person or Persons is not considered to cause a Change of Control.

A change in the effective control of the Company, which shall occur on the date that:

(1)

Any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, other than Excluded Person(s), acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) ownership of stock of the Company possessing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company. However, if any one Person or more than one Person Acting as a Group is considered to own more than thirty percent (30%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional voting stock by the same Person or Persons is not considered to cause a Change of Control; or

(iii)

A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, which shall occur on the date that any one Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, other than Excluded Person(s), acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total Gross Fair Market Value (as defined below) equal to more than forty percent (40%) of the total Gross Fair Market Value of all the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions, other than an Excluded Transaction (as defined below).

For purposes of this section 2.4:

Gross Fair Market Value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, as applicable, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

Persons will not be considered to be Acting as a Group solely because they purchase or own stock of the Company at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering, or solely because they purchase assets of the Company at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering, as the case may be. However, Persons will be considered to be Acting as a Group if they are owners of an entity that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of assets, or similar business transaction with the Company.

The term Excluded Transaction means any transaction in which assets are transferred to: (A) a shareholder of the Company (determined immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock; (B) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (determined after the asset transfer); (C) a Person, or more than one Person Acting as a Group, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company (determined after the asset transfer); or (D) an entity at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in clause (C) (determined after the asset transfer).

The term Related Entity means the Company, its Affiliates, and any other entities that along with the Company is considered a single employer pursuant to Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, determined by applying the phrase “at least 50 percent” in place of the phrase “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in such Treasury regulations or Section 1563(a) of the Code.

7.2

Section 4999 Gross-Up Payments.  If the total of all “payments in the nature of compensation” (as that term is defined in the regulations issued under Section 280G of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Participant (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise), determined on a pre-tax basis and before the application of the adjustment or gross-up provisions of this Section 7.2 (the “Participant's Parachute Payments”) would subject the Participant to the excise tax levied on certain “excess parachute payments” under Section 4999 of the Code, the Company shall pay to the Participant an additional payment (the “Section 4999 Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after reduction for all taxes, including the excise tax described in Section 4999 of the Code with respect to the Section 4999 Gross-Up Payment, the remaining amount equals the excise tax described in Section 4999 of the Code and all related interest and penalties due with respect to the Participant's Parachute Payments.

Any Section 4999 Gross-Up Payment shall be paid in connection with or as soon as practicable after the remittance to the applicable taxing authorities of the underlying taxes and in all events not later than the close of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such remittance takes place. Payments under the Plan (including any payments pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof) shall be made without regard to whether the deductibility of such payments (or any other payments to or for the benefit of the Participant) would be limited or precluded by Section 280G of the Code and without regard to whether such payments (or any other payments) would subject the Participant to the excise tax levied on certain “excess parachute payments” under Section 4999 of the Code.


7.3

409A Gross-Up Payment:  If any payment or benefit (or any acceleration of any payment or benefit) made or provided to a Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary or for the Participant’s or the Participant Beneficiary’s benefit in connection with this Plan (the “Payments”) are determined to be subject to the interest charges and taxes imposed by Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code, or any state, local, employment or foreign taxes of a similar nature, or any interest charges or penalties with respect to such taxes (such taxes, together with any such interest charges and penalties, are collectively referred to as the “Section 409A Tax”), then the Company shall pay the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary, within 30 days after the date on which the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary provides the Company with a written request for reimbursement thereof (accompanied by proof of taxes paid), but in no event later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary remits the Section 409A tax to the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority, an additional amount (the “Section 409A Gross-Up Payment”). The Section 409A Gross-Up Payment shall be such that the net amount retained by the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary after deduction of the Section 409A Tax (but not any federal, state, or local income tax or employment tax) and any federal, state, or local income tax, or employment tax upon the payment provided for by this Section 7.5 shall be equal to the Payments.

7.4

Assumed Tax Bracket:  For purposes of determining the amount of the Section 4999 Gross-Up Payment and the Section 409A Gross-Up Payment, the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be deemed to pay federal income tax and employment taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income and employment taxation in the calendar year in which the Section 4999 Gross-Up Payment and the Section 409A Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary’s domicile for income tax purposes on the date the Section 4999 Gross-Up Payment and the Section 409A Gross-Up Payment is made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that may be obtained from the deduction of such state and local taxes.

7.5

Determination of Excise Tax:  All determinations of Section 4999 Gross-Up Payments and



6



Section 409A Gross-Up Payments that are required to be made under this Article 7 shall be made by such public accounting firm as may be retained by the Company. The determination by such accounting firm shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error.  

7.6

Claim by Internal Revenue Service:  As soon as practicable, a Participant shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would result in the imposition of the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or a Section 409A Tax. If the Company notifies the Participant in writing that it desires to contest such claim, the Participant shall cooperate in all reasonable ways with the Company in such contest and the Company shall be entitled to participate in all proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Participant harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any excise, employment or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses.

ARTICLE 8

Miscellaneous


8.1

No Mitigation and Burden of Proof:  Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Plan, no payment payable hereunder shall be subject to offset including, but not limited to, amounts in respect of any claims which the Company may have against the Participant, provided, however, the amount payable hereunder to any Participant shall be reduced by any amounts payable to such Participant from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to any other severance plan or policy (including any employment agreement).

8.4

Indemnification.  In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or the Committee, the members of the Board and the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which they or any of them may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such



7



action, suit or proceeding, except a judgment based upon a finding that such member was not acting in good faith on the reasonable belief that he or she was acting in the best interests of the Company; provided that upon the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, a Committee or Board member shall, in writing, give the Company notice thereof and an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such Committee or Board member undertakes to handle and defend it on such member's own behalf.

8.5

Plan Expenses:  Any expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

8.6

(b)

Executive agrees that all files, letters, memoranda, reports, records, data, sketches, drawings, laboratory notebooks, program listings, or other written, photographic, electronic or other material containing Proprietary Information, whether created by Executive or others, which shall come into his custody or possession, shall be and are the exclusive property of the Company to be used by Executive only in the performance of his duties for the Company.
