members of the compensation committee who are individuals who served as
compensation committee members before the Change in Control. In the event of any

right or any other provision or right of this Agreement or the Plan.

right to continue in the service of the Company or its subsidiaries or interfere
in any way with the right of the Company or its subsidiaries to terminate the
Participant’s service at any time.
