1.                                      Amendment to Section 4(d).  Section 4 (d) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

The Employer may terminate the employment of the Employee for any reason other than those specified in Section 4(b) or 4(c), including, without limitation, on or after a Change of Control, upon thirty (30) days written notice (or Base Salary and benefit continuation in lieu of such thirty (30) day notice) to the Employee.  In addition, the Employee may terminate his employment at any time, including, without limitation, on or after a Change of Control, upon written notice to the Employer for Good Reason in accordance with the requirements of Section 4(f)(v).

release satisfactory to the Employer and on reasonable, market level terms (the “Release”) and the Employee’s compliance with all terms and provisions of this Agreement that survive the termination of the Employee’s employment by the Employer, the Employer shall provide the Employee with the payments and benefits set forth in (A) through (E) below.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of the Employee’s execution of the Release, directly or indirectly result in the Employee designating the calendar year of payment and to the extent payment could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year.

 

(A)                               Severance in an amount equal to 1.0 times the Employee’s Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of the Employee’s termination.

The COBRA health care continuation period shall run concurrently with the foregoing twelve (12) month period;

 

(D)                               vesting of all outstanding unvested stock options and other equity-based awards held by the Employee as of the Termination Date that would have vested had the Employee remained employed  until the end of the calendar quarter in which the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Termination Date occurs; provided, further, that any outstanding unvested stock option or  other equity-based award that vests based upon attainment of performance criteria (each, a “Performance Award”)  shall vest upon termination of the Employee’s employment in accordance with the terms of the award agreement evidencing such Performance Award; and

 

(E)                                all outstanding stock options and other equity-based awards held by the Employee as of the Termination Date that become vested pursuant to (IV) above or are vested as of the Termination Date shall remain exercisable (to the extent applicable) until the earlier of (x) the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Termination Date and (y) the expiration date of the relevant stock option or other equity-based award.”

 

2.                                      Amendment to Section 4(e).  The reference to “Section 4(d)(iii)(A)(I) and Section 4(d)(iii)(B)(I), as applicable” in the first paragraph of Section 4(e) is hereby replaced with “Section 4(d)(iii)(A)”.
