10. TERM AND TERMINATION
1. Section 10(f)(i) is amended to provide as follows:
(i) Company may in its sole discretion terminate this Agreement at any time without Cause. If Company does so during the Term, subject to Executive’s execution and delivery to the Company, no later than the 60th day following the date on which Executive’s employment is terminated, of (A) an irrevocable legal release in a form substantially similar to Exhibit B, so as to ensure a final, complete and enforceable release of all claims that Executive has or may have against Company relating to or arising in any way from Executive’s employment with Company and/or the termination thereof, (B) an acknowledgement of Executive’s continuing obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement, and (C) an agreement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Company, to treat as Confidential Information of Company the circumstances of Executive’s separation from Company and compensation received by Executive in connection with that separation (collectively, the “Release”), Company shall pay Executive severance compensation equal to 12 months of Executive’s most recent base salary contemplated under Section 2(a), as amended from time to time; provided, however, if Executive’s termination by the Company without Cause (including a voluntary termination for Good Reason pursuant to Section 10(g)) occurs within the 12-month period commencing on the date a Change of Control is consummated, the severance compensation shall equal 24 months of Executive’s most recent base salary contemplated under Section 2(a), as amended from time to time, plus 200% of the maximum Performance Bonus that may be earned by Executive for such fiscal year (the “Change of Control Severance Payment”).
