For purposes of this Agreement, “*Change in Control*” means a (I) Change inOwnership of the Company, (II) Change in Effective Control of the Company, or (III) Change in the Ownership of Assets of the Company, as described herein and construed in accordance with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,and the regulations and Treasury guidance issued thereunder (the 

 
7 

“*Code*”); except that no Change in Control shall be deemed to occur as a result of a change of ownership resulting from the death of a stockholder or a transaction in which theCompany becomes a subsidiary of another corporation and in which the stockholders of the Company, immediately prior to the transaction, will beneficially own, immediately after the transaction, shares entitling such stockholders to more than 50% ofall votes to which all stockholders of the parent corporation would be entitled in the election of directors (without consideration of the rights of any class of stock to elect directors by a separate class vote). 

(I) A “*Change in Ownership of the Company*” shall occur on the date that any one Person acquires, or Persons Acting as aGroup acquire, ownership of the capital stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such Person or Group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of the Company. However, ifany one Person is, or Persons Acting as a Group are, considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same Person or Persons Actingas a Group is not considered to cause a Change in Ownership of the Company or to cause a Change in Effective Control of the Company (as described below). An increase in the percentage of capital stock owned by any one Person, or Persons Acting as aGroup, as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock. 

(II) A “*Change in Effective Control of the Company*” shall occur on the date a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment orelection is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election. 

(III) A“*Change in the Ownership of Assets of the Company*” shall occur on the date that any one Person acquires, or Persons Acting as a Group acquire (or has or have acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recentacquisition by such Person or Persons), assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 75% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately before such acquisition oracquisitions. For this purpose, “*gross fair market value*” means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

The following rules of construction apply in interpreting the definition of Change in Control: 

(A) A “*Person*” means any individual, entity or group within the meaning of section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by the Company and by entities controlled by the Company or an underwriter of the capital stock of the Company in a registered public offering.

(B) Persons will be considered to be “*Persons Acting as a Group*” (or “*Group*”) if they areowners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the corporation. If a Person owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchaseor acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a Group with other shareholders only with respect to the ownership in that corporation before the transaction giving rise to the change and not withrespect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. Persons will not be considered to be acting as a Group solely because they purchase assets of the same corporation at the same time or purchase or own stock of the same corporation at thesame time, or as a result of the same public offering. 

(C) For purposes of the definition of Change in Control, “fairmarket value” shall be determined by the Board. 

 
8 

(D) A Change in Control shall not include a transfer to a related person as described inCode section 409A or a public offering of capital stock of the Company. 

(E) For purposes of the definition of Change inControl, Code section 318(a) applies to determine stock ownership. Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the individual who holds the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested option is not considered owned by theindividual who holds the unvested option). For purposes of the preceding sentence, however, if a vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treas. Reg. § 1.83-3(b) and (j)), the stock underlyingthe option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option. 

(e) Termination With Cause, Resignation WithoutGood Reason, or Expiration of the Agreement. If, whether or not in connection with a Change in Control, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment with Cause pursuant to Section 8(c), if the Executive resigns without GoodReason pursuant to Section 8(f), or if the Executive is entitled to the severance benefits pursuant to Section 9(c) or Section 9(d) and either does not execute or revokes the general release of claims requiredpursuant to Section 9(f), or is in breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 below, the Company will pay the Executive his Base Salary accrued and unpaid as of the date of termination of employment as wellas any accrued but unused PTO and appropriate expense reimbursements. Such amounts will be paid as soon as practicable after the termination of employment. The Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement to the Executive. If thisAgreement expires without any extension or renewal of its terms, the Executive will be an at-will employee of the Company thereafter unless the Company elects to terminate the Executive’s employment coincident with such expiration and theCompany shall have no further obligations under this Agreement to the Executive. If the Company elects to terminate the Executive’s employment coincident with the expiration of this Agreement, the Company will pay the Executive his Base Salaryaccrued and unpaid as of the date of termination of employment as well as any accrued but unused PTO and appropriate expense reimbursements. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the expiration of this Agreement, or the termination ofExecutive’s employment coincident with such expiration, be construed as a termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason. 

(f) Release of Claims. As a condition for the payments of the Severance Amount or the Change in Control Severance and Incentive Compensation provided in Section 9(c) orSection 9(d), the Executive must execute a general release of all claims (including claims under local, state and federal laws, but excluding claims for payment due under Section 9(c) or Section 9(d) that theExecutive has or may have against the Company or any related individuals or entities (the “*Release*”). The Release shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, and shall include confidentiality, cooperation, andnon-disparagement provisions, as well as other terms requested by the Company that are typical of an executive severance agreement. The Severance Amount, Change in Control Severance Amount, Incentive Compensation, acceleration of vesting andcontinued health benefits provided for in Section 9(c) or Section 9(d) are conditioned upon and will not be paid (or be provided) until the execution of the Release and the expiration of any revocation period; providedthat notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of the Executive’s execution of the Release, directly or indirectly, result in the Executive designating the calendar year of payment, and if apayment that is subject to execution of the Release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year. The Company shall provide the Release to the Executive by no later than ten days after the Executiveterminates employment with the Company, and the Executive shall execute the Release during the statutory time period specified by applicable law. If the Release is not executed during the statutory time period specified by applicable law, theCompany’s obligation to pay any Severance Amount, Change in Control Severance Amount, or Incentive Compensation and to provide any acceleration of vesting and continued health benefits provided for in Section 9(c) orSection 9(d) pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate.

(g) Section 280G Cutback. The Executive shall bear all expense of, and be solelyresponsible for, all federal, state, local or foreign taxes due with respect to any payment received under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any excise tax imposed by Code section 4999. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in thisAgreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment or contingent upon a Change in Controlpursuant to any plan or arrangement or other agreement with the Company or any affiliate (collectively, the “*Payments*”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code section 4999, as determined by the Company, then the Paymentsshall be reduced to the extent necessary to prevent any portion of the Payments from becoming nondeductible by the Company under Code section 280G or subject to the excise tax imposed under Code section 4999, but only if, by reason of thatreduction, the net after-tax benefit received by the Executive exceeds the net after-tax benefit the Executive would receive if no reduction was made. For this purpose, “*net after-tax benefit*” means (i) the total of allPayments that would constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Code section 280G, less (ii) the amount of all federal, state, and local income taxes payable with respect to the Payments calculated at the maximummarginal income tax rate for each year in which the Payments shall be paid to the Executive (based on the rate in effect for that year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the Payments), less (iii) theamount of excise taxes imposed on the Payments described in clause (i) above by Code section 4999. If, pursuant to this Section 9(g), Payments are to be reduced, the Company shall determine which Payments shall be reduced in amanner so as to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Code section 409A.
