(c) Consummation of a reorganization, merger, or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case unless following such Business Combination, (i) all or substantially all of the Persons who were the Beneficial Owners, respectively, of the outstanding shares and outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such Business Combination own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company, as the case may be, of the entity resulting from the Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the outstanding voting securities (provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (i) any shares of common stock or voting securities of such resulting entity received by such Beneficial Owners in such Business Combination other than as the result of such Beneficial Owners’ ownership of outstanding shares or outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such Business Combination shall not be considered to be owned by such Beneficial Owners for the purposes of calculating their percentage of ownership of the outstanding common stock and voting power of the resulting entity); and (ii) no Person (excluding any entity resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such entity resulting from the Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such entity resulting from the Business Combination unless such Person owned fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares or outstanding voting securities immediately prior to the Business Combination.

(d) Approval by the Company’s stockholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

“Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events without the Executive’s prior consent: (a) a material adverse change in Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities, (b) a material reduction in Executive’s base salary (a reduction less than 10% in amount, and that is part of a larger Company-wide cost reduction effort, shall not constitute a Good Reason); (c) the imposition of a requirement that the Executive be based at a location outside of a 50-mile radius from the current corporate headquarters and which is not closer to Executive’s then residence than the current corporate headquarters.

SECTION 2. Term of Agreement

The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will commence on [DATE], and will continue in effect for a period of one (1) year; provided however that after such one (1) year period, and on each one (1) year anniversary of such date thereafter, the Term shall automatically be extended for an additional one (1) year, unless not later than ninety (90) days prior to the end of one of the periods, either the Company or the Executive shall have given notice to the other party not to extend the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 3.2, the Term shall be deemed to have immediately expired without any further action, and this Agreement will immediately terminate and be of no further effect if, prior to a Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason. Additionally, in the event that a Change in Control occurs during the Term, then the Term shall automatically extend for a period of up to six (6) additional months, if necessary, to accommodate the six-month post-Change in Control period specified in Section 3.1 below.

SECTION 3. Termination of Employment after Change in Control

3.1 If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated within six (6) months following a Change in Control that occurs during the Term, the Executive will be entitled to the following compensation and benefits:

(a) If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated (i) by the Company for Cause, (ii) by the Executive other than for Good Reason, or (iii) by reason of the Executive’s death or disability, then the Company will pay to the Executive the Accrued Compensation.

(i) the Company will pay the Executive all Accrued Compensation; and

(ii) subject to the Executive providing the Company with a Full Release, the Company will pay the Executive as severance pay, and in lieu of any further compensation for periods subsequent to the Termination Date, in a single payment an amount in cash equal to one and one-half (1 ¹/2) times the sum of (A) the Base Salary Amount and (B) the Bonus Amount.

3.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, within the thirty (30) days immediately preceding a Change in Control, (i) the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason other than as specified in Section 3.1(a), the Executive shall be entitled to receive the benefits provided in Section 3.1(b), provided that the amounts provided for in Sections 3.1(b)(i) and (ii) will be paid in a single lump sum cash payment by the Company to the Executive within sixty (60) days after the Termination Date.

3.3 Except as otherwise noted herein, during the Term of this Agreement the compensation to be paid to the Executive hereunder will be in lieu of any similar severance or termination compensation (i.e., compensation based directly on the Executive’s annual salary or annual salary and bonus) to which the Executive may be entitled under any other Company severance or termination agreement, plan, program, policy, practice or arrangement. The Executive’s entitlement to any compensation or benefits of a type not provided in this Agreement will be determined in accordance with the Company’s employee benefit plans and other applicable programs, policies and practices as in effect from time to time.

SECTION 4. Acceleration of Options upon Change in Control

If a Change in Control occurs during the Term of this Agreement, then, all unvested stock awards then held by Executive shall accelerate and become immediately vested.

This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Company and its Successors, and the Company will require any Successors to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place. Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder will be assignable or transferable by the Executive or by the Executive’s beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives.

SECTION 6. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses last given by each party to the other, provided that all notices to the Company will be directed to the attention of the President of the Company with a copy to the Office of the General Counsel of the Company.

SECTION 9. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.
