 1.

terminates Employee’s employment without “Cause” (as defined below) or, (B) Employee terminates his or her employment with Employer for Good Reason (as defined below), provided that (i) Employee gives Employer notice of the
condition constituting Good Reason and at least thirty (30) days to remedy such condition and (ii) such termination occurs within one (1) year following the initial existence the condition constituting Good Reason, then in either
event (subject to the limitations set forth herein) Employee shall be entitled to receive from MainStreet, and MainStreet shall be obligated to pay or cause to be paid to Employee, an amount equal to one (1) times the lesser of (x) the

 (2) the corporation that is liable for the payment of the deferred compensation (or all corporations
liable for the payment if more than one corporation is liable) but only if either the deferred compensation is attributable to the performance of service by the Employee for such corporation (or corporations) or there is a bona fide business purpose
for such corporation or corporations to be liable for such payment and, in either case, no significant purpose of making such corporation or corporations liable for such payment is the avoidance of Federal income tax; or 
 (3) a corporation that is a majority shareholder of a corporation identified in either subparagraph (1) or (2), or any corporation in a chain of
corporations in which each corporation is a majority shareholder of another corporation in the chain, ending in a corporation identified in either subparagraph (1) or (2) above. 
 (i) Change In Ownership. A change in the ownership of a corporation shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a
group, acquires ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of such corporation. However, if any person, or
more than one person acting as a group, is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of a corporation, then the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons shall not be
considered to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation (or to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation). 
 (ii)
Change In Effective Control. Notwithstanding the fact that a corporation has not undergone a change in ownership as described above, a change in the effective control of a corporation shall occur only on the date that either: 
 (a) any one person or more than one person acting as a group acquires (or has acquired during the twelve month period ending on the date of the most

corporation is a majority shareholder. 
 (iii) Change In Ownership of Assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the
assets of a corporation shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons)
assets from the corporation that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose,
“gross fair market value” shall mean the value of the assets of the corporation, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

 (b) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the corporation; or
