equal to your total cash compensation for the previous fiscal year (but not less than $250,000). In addition, if the Company terminates your employment without Cause prior to September 1, 2014 (i) the Company shall accelerate vesting on any portion of any equity grant previously made to you under the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, or any successor plan, that would otherwise have vested within twelve (12) months after the date of your termination; and (ii) all Company imposed restrictions on any restricted stock issued to you shall be terminated upon the termination of your employment and all restricted stock awarded to you but not yet issued shall be promptly issued.

UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL: If there is a Change of Control (defined below) and there is a Constructive Termination (defined below) of your employment without Cause within twelve (12) months after such Change of Control, you will be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to one year of your then current annual salary. Upon any Change of Control (i) the Company shall accelerate vesting on any portion of any equity grant previously made to you under the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, or any successor plan, that would otherwise have vested within twenty-four (24) months after the date of the termination of your employment; and (ii) all Company imposed restrictions on any restricted stock issued to you shall be terminated upon the termination of your employment and all restricted stock awarded to you but not yet issued shall be promptly issued.

As used herein, the term “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following events: any merger or consolidation involving the acquisition of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company by an investor group, adoption of a

sale or liquidation plan of substantially all of the assets of the Company or other similar transaction or series of transactions involving the Company, or the acquisition of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company by an investor group.
