(b) Upon conclusion of the Term of this Agreement by reason of Section 3(c) hereof, if deemed advisable in the judgment of the Permanent CEO and the Board, each acting in his, her or its sole discretion, as applicable, the parties will reasonably negotiate in good faith regarding the terms of an additional consulting agreement whereby the Interim CEO will provide integration and transition assistance to the Permanent CEO.”

All other terms and conditions of the Interim CEO Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
