CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT- UNDERWOOD

 EXHIBIT 10.4 
  
 CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT 
  

THIS CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of August 26, 2003 (the “Effective Date”)
by and between Microtune, Inc., a Delaware corporation or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (the “Company”), and Marc Underwood (“Employee”). 
  
 The parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1.    Employment. 
  
 (a)    As of the Effective Date, Employee shall serve as
the Vice President of Human Resources of Microtune, Inc. Employee agrees to perform such reasonable responsibilities and duties as may be required of him or her by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or the
CEO in such capacity. The Board may terminate the Term at any time, by giving Employee thirty (30) days’ advance notice in writing. 
  
 (b)    In the event of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company that results in termination of the Term, the Company
shall pay Employee severance benefits as set forth in Section 4. 
  
 (c)    Nothing in this Agreement shall change the Employee’s status of AT WILL EMPLOYMENT prior to a Change of Control. 
  

2.    Certain Definitions.    For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings
set forth below. 
  
 (a)    “Base
Compensation” means Employee’s rate of annual salary, as in effect for the twelve-month period ending on the date of any Change of Control or on the Date of Termination, whichever is higher. Base Compensation does not include
elements such as bonuses, reimbursement of interest paid on guaranteed loans, auto allowances, nor any income from equity based compensation, such as may result from the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights, or the receipt of
restricted stock awards or the lapse of the restrictions on such awards. If Employee is employed by the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries for less than one full calendar year immediately preceding the Change of Control, Employee’s
“highest annual bonus” will be determined by annualizing the bonus earned during employee’s period of employment. 
  
 (b)    “Cause”, for purposes of this Agreement, means if after a Change of Control (i) Employee is determined
by a court of law or pursuant to arbitration to have committed a willful act of embezzlement, fraud or dishonesty which resulted in material loss, material damage or material injury to the Company, (ii) Employee’s conviction of, or plea of
nolo contendere to, a felony, or (iii) Employee’s continued substantial violations of his or her employment duties after Employee has received a written demand for performance from the Company which specifically sets 

 forth the factual basis the Company’s belief that Employee has not substantially performed his or her duties. In
such an event, at the election of the Company, Employee shall have no rights under this Agreement other than payment of compensation and reimbursement of business expenses pursuant to this Agreement through the date of termination. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Employee shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause without (i) reasonable notice to Employee setting forth the reasons for the Company’s intention to terminate for Cause, and (ii) an opportunity for Employee, together
with counsel, if any, to be heard. 
  
 (c)    “Change of Control” means a change of control of a nature which would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or in response to any other form or report to the Securities and Exchange Commission or any stock exchange or the Nasdaq National Market on which the Company’s shares
are listed which requires the reporting of a change of control. In addition, a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred if any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the beneficial
owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 35% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing definition, “Change of Control” for purposes of this Agreement, shall exclude the
acquisition of securities representing more than 35% of the combined voting power of the Company by any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities of the Company under an employee benefit plan now or
hereafter established by the Company. As used herein, the term “beneficial owner” shall have the same meaning as under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and related case law. 
  
 (d)    “Constructive Termination”
means the resignation by Employee after a Change of Control due to any diminution or adverse change in the circumstances of employment including, without limitation, reporting relationships, job description, duties, responsibilities, compensation,
perquisites, office or location of employment. The Board will determine in good faith whether a Constructive Termination has occurred after (i) Employee has provided the Board reasonable notice setting forth the reasons as to why he believes there
has been a Constructive Termination, and (ii) Employee, together with counsel, if any, is given an opportunity to be heard before the Board. 
  
 (e)    “Date of Termination” shall mean a date after a Change of Control which is (1) specified in the Notice
of Termination if the Term is terminated by Employee; or (2) thirty (30) days from the date on which a Notice of Termination is delivered to Employee, if the Term is terminated by the Company. 
  
 3.    Termination of Employment Following Change of
Control. 
  
 (A)    If within six (6)
months following a Change of Control, Employee’s employment with the Company terminates as the result of a Constructive Termination or is terminated by the Company for other than Cause, then the Company shall provide to Employee as soon as
practicable, but not more than ten (10) business days following the Date of Termination, each of the following benefits: 
  

 2 

 (1)    Severance Benefits.    The Company shall pay
Employee a lump sum severance benefit which shall equal to the sum of (i) Employee Base Compensation, plus (ii) the highest annual bonus paid to Employee during the last three (3) full calendar years immediately prior to the Change of Control.

  
 (2)    Equity
Compensation.    All unvested stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards held by Employee on the Date of Termination shall be deemed fully vested and exercisable on such Date of Termination as if the
Employee had been employed for an additional twelve months following the Date of Termination, provided that if any option, right or award would, as a result of such accelerated exercisability no longer qualify for exemption under section 16 of the
Exchange Act, then such option, right or award shall be fully vested but shall not become exercisable until the earliest date on which it could become exercisable and also qualify for exemption from section 16 of the Exchange Act. Any repurchase
rights held by the Company on stock owned or options exercised by the Employee shall be canceled on the Date of Termination. This Agreement shall serve as an amendment to all of Employee’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards,
repurchase rights, and stock appreciation rights as of the Date of Termination; 
  
 (3)    Accrued Bonus.    The Company shall pay Employee an amount equal to the pro rata amount of the annual bonus accrued under the Company’s executive officer
bonus plan, if any, for the portion of the year prior to the Date of Termination. 
  
 (B)    If more than six (6) months following a Change of Control but within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control, Employee’s employment with the Company terminates as the result of
a Constructive Termination or is terminated by the Company for other than Cause, then the Company shall provide to Employee as soon as practicable, but not more than ten (10) business days following the Date of Termination, each of the following
benefits: 
  
 (1)    Severance
Benefits.    The Company shall pay Employee a lump sum severance benefit which shall equal to the sum of (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Employee Base Compensation, plus (ii) the fifty percent (50%) highest annual bonus paid
to Employee during the last three (3) full calendar years immediately prior to the Change of Control. 
  
 (2)    Equity Compensation.    All unvested stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock
awards held by Employee on the Date of Termination shall be deemed fully vested and exercisable on such Date of Termination as if the Employee had been employed for an additional six months following the Date of Termination, provided that if any
option, right or award would, as a result of such accelerated exercisability no longer qualify for exemption under section 16 of the Exchange Act, then such option, right or award shall be fully vested but shall not become exercisable until the
earliest date on which it could become exercisable and also qualify for exemption from section 16 of the Exchange Act. Any repurchase rights held by the Company on stock owned or options exercised by the Employee shall be canceled on the Date of
Termination. This Agreement shall serve as an amendment to all of Employee’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, repurchase rights, and stock appreciation rights as of the Date of Termination; 
  

 3 

 (3)    Accrued Bonus.    The Company shall pay Employee an
amount equal to the pro rata amount of the annual bonus accrued under the Company’s executive officer bonus plan, if any, for the portion of the year prior to the Date of Termination. 
  
 (C)    Successors; Binding
Agreement.    The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, to expressly assume
and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any
such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Employee to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as Employee would be entitled hereunder if the Company had terminated Employee’s employment
without Cause after a Change of Control, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall
mean the Company as defined herein and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement
by operation of law. 
  
 (D)    Miscellaneous. 
  

	 	a.	 	Notices.    Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing to both parties and shall be deemed
given on the date of delivery, if delivered, or three days after mailing, if mailed first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the following addresses:

 EXHIBIT 10.5 
  
 AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of August 13, 2003 (the
“Effective Date”) by and between Microtune, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Nancy A. Richardson (“Employee”). The “Company” as used herein shall refer to Microtune, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, and/or Microtune (Texas), L.P., a Texas limited partnership, as appropriate. 
  
 The parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1.    Supercedes Prior Agreement.    This Agreement amends, restates and supercedes that certain Employment Agreement by and between Company and Employee made as of October 24, 2002 (the
“Prior Agreement”) in all respects. 
  
 2.    Employment. 
  
 (a)    As of the Effective Date, Employee shall serve as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Vice President and General Counsel of Microtune, Inc. Employee agrees to perform such reasonable responsibilities and duties as
may be required of him by the Board of Directors of Microtune, Inc. (the “Board”) and its Chief Executive Officer or other such person(s) performing in such capacity (the “CEO”); provided, however,
immediately upon request of the CEO, Employee shall resign from the position of CFO (a “CFO Resignation”). Employee shall report directly to the CEO. Employee agrees not to terminate the Term prior to October 24, 2004, except
for Certain Reasons (as defined below). In the event Employee voluntarily resigns one of the positions but continues on in full capacity in the other position, this Agreement shall continue in full effect. 
  
 (b)    The Board may terminate the Term at any time, by
giving Employee thirty (30) days advance notice in writing. However, if the Board terminates the Term without Cause (as defined below) prior to October 23, 2004, the Company shall pay Employee severance benefits as set forth in Section 7. Any
termination of employment by the Company or by Employee for any reason whatsoever during the term of this Agreement shall be communicated by written notice of termination to the other party hereto (“Notice of Termination”).

  
 (c)    In the event of a Change of Control
(as defined below) of the Company that results in termination of the Term, the Company shall pay Employee severance benefits as set forth in Section 8. 
  
 3.    Duties and Scope of Employment. 
  
 (a)    Positions and Duties.    Employee will continue to serve as CFO and General Counsel (or one capacity
only, pursuant to 1(a) above) of Microtune, Inc. while employed hereunder. Employee will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with Employee’s position within the Company, as shall
reasonably be assigned to him by the Board. 
  
 (b)    Obligations.    During the Term, Employee will perform her duties faithfully and to the best of her ability and will devote her full business efforts and time to the Company. 

 
 (c)    Term.    The term of
the Employee’s employment under this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue until October 23, 2004 (the “Initial Term”). The Initial Term hereof will be automatically renewed for additional
terms (each a “Renewal Term,” and, together, with the Initial Term, collectively the “Term”) of one (1) year unless either party hereto provides the other party hereto written notice of its election
not to renew this Agreement thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term, or, if applicable, thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any Renewal Term. Any such written election by the Company shall not 

 constitute a termination, Constructive Termination or Certain Reasons hereunder for the purposes of determining whether
obligations are due to the Employee from the Company under Section 7 or 8 hereunder. 
  
 4.    Compensation. 
  
 (a)    Employee’s initial annualized base salary shall be $225,000 payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies. Employee’s annualized base salary will be reviewed annually by the
compensation committee of the Board, or by the Board if at such time there is no compensation committee. 
  
 (b)    During the Term, Employee will be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans currently and hereafter maintained by
the Company of general applicability to other senior executives of the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s group medical, dental, vision, disability, dependent care, life insurance, flexible-spending account and 401(k) plans.
The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers to its employees at any time. 
  
 (c)    The Company will reimburse Employee for reasonable travel, entertainment or other expenses incurred by Employee in the
furtherance of or in connection with the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy as in effect from time to time. 
  
 5.    Covenant Not to Compete or Solicit. 
  
 (a)    Non-Competition.    Employee agrees that if the Company terminates her employment for Cause or Employee terminates his employment with the Company other than for Certain Reasons, then
for two (2) years from the Date of Termination she will not directly or indirectly engage in (whether as an employee, consultant, proprietor, partner, director or otherwise), or have any ownership interest in, or participate in the financing,
operation, management or control of, any person, firm, corporation or business that engages in or (to Employee’s knowledge, after due inquiry) intends to engage in a Restricted Business (as defined below). 
  
 Ownership of (i) no more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding voting stock of a publicly
traded corporation, or (ii) any stock presently owned by Employee, shall not constitute a violation of this provision. 
  
 (b)    Non-Solicitation.    For a period of two (2) years from the Date of Termination, Employee shall not:

  
 (i)    solicit, encourage, or take any
other action which is intended to induce any other employee of the Company to terminate his or her employment with the Company, or 
  
 (ii)    interfere in any manner with the contractual or employment relationship between the Company and any such employee of the
Company. 
  
 The foregoing shall not prohibit any entity with which the Employee
may be affiliated from hiring a former employee of the Company. 
  
 (c)    Worldwide.    The parties acknowledge that the market for radio frequency tuner products is worldwide, and that, in this market, products from any nation compete with products from all
other nations. Accordingly, in order to secure to the Company all possible benefits, the parties agree that the provisions of this Section 5 shall apply to each of the states and counties of the United States, and to each nation worldwide.

  
 (d)    Severability.    The parties intend that the covenants contained in the preceding paragraphs shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each state of the Union, and
each nation. Except for geographic 
  

 2 

 coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in proceeding
paragraphs. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce any of the separate covenants (or any part thereof) deemed included in said paragraphs, then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be deemed eliminated from this
Agreement for the purpose of those proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced. In the event that the provisions of this Section 5 should ever be deemed to exceed the time or
geographic limitations, or the scope of this covenant, permitted by applicable law, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time or geographic limitations, as the case may be, permitted by applicable laws. 
  
 6.    Certain Definitions.    For the purposes
of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings set forth below. 
  
 (a)    “Base Compensation” means Employee’s rate of annual salary, as in effect for the twelve-month period ending on the date six months prior to any Change of Control
or on the Date of Termination, whichever is higher. In no event shall Base Compensation be less than $225,000 for purposes of severance benefit calculations. Base Compensation does not include elements such as bonuses, reimbursement of interest paid
on guaranteed loans, auto allowances, nor any income from equity based compensation, such as may result from the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights, or the receipt of restricted stock awards or the lapse of the restrictions on
such awards. If Employee is employed by the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries for less than one full calendar year immediately preceding the Change of Control, Employee’s “highest annual bonus” will be determined by annualizing
the bonus earned during employee’s period of employment excluding the effect of the Litigation Bonus (hereinafter defined). 
  
 (b)    “Cause”, for purposes of this Agreement, means (i) if Employee is determined by a court of law or
pursuant to arbitration to have committed a willful act of embezzlement, fraud or dishonesty which resulted in material loss, material damage or material injury to the Company, (ii) Employee’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere
to, a felony, or (iii) Employee’s continued substantial violations of his employment duties after Employee has received a written demand for performance from the Company which specifically sets forth the factual basis the Company’s belief
that Employee has not substantially performed his duties. In such an event, at the election of the Company, Employee shall have no rights under this Agreement other than payment of compensation and reimbursement of business expenses pursuant to this
Agreement through the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause without (i) reasonable notice to Employee setting forth the reasons for the Company’s intention to
terminate for Cause, and (ii) an opportunity for Employee, together with counsel, if any, to be heard before the Board. 
  
 (c)    “Certain Reasons” means (A) a reduction in cash compensation (exclusive of bonuses) or a material
reduction in benefits, except as part of a salary or benefit reduction program by the Company that is applicable generally to all executives, (B) a material demotion in responsibilities or duties other than solely as a result of a CFO Resignation,
(C) relocation of Employee’s workplace to any place more than fifty miles from Dallas, Texas, without Employee’s consent or (D) a material breach by the Company of this Agreement or any other material agreement between the Company and
Employee. 
  
 (d)    “Change of
Control” means a change of control that occurs during the Term of a nature which would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (“Exchange Act”), or in response to any other form or report to the Securities and Exchange Commission or any stock exchange or the Nasdaq National Market on which the Company’s shares are listed which requires
the reporting of a change of control. In addition, a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred if any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly,
of securities of the Company representing more than 35% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities. 
  

 3 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing definition, “Change of Control” for purposes of this Agreement,
shall exclude the acquisition of securities representing more than 35% of the combined voting power of the Company by any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities of the Company under an employee benefit
plan now or hereafter established by the Company. As used herein, the term “beneficial owner” shall have the same meaning as under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and related case law. 
  
 (e)    “Constructive Termination”
means the resignation by Employee due to any diminution or adverse change in the circumstances of employment (other than solely as a result of any CFO Resignation) including, without limitation, reporting relationships, job description, duties,
responsibilities, compensation, perquisites, or location of employment. The Board will determine in good faith whether a Constructive Termination has occurred after (i) Employee has provided the Board reasonable notice setting forth the reasons as
to why he believes there has been a Constructive Termination, and (ii) Employee, together with counsel, if any, is given an opportunity to be heard before the Board. 
  
 (f)    “Date of Termination” shall mean a date which is (1) specified in the
Notice of Termination if the Term is terminated by Employee; or (2) thirty (30) days from the date on which a Notice of Termination is delivered to Employee, if the Term is terminated by the Company. 
  
 (g)    “Disability” means that
Employee is unable by reason of accident or illness (including mental illness) to perform the material duties of her regular position with the Company after a physician acceptable to both the Company and Employee (which acceptance will not be
unreasonably withheld) determines that such inability is certain or likely to continue for a period of more than ninety (90) days. Employee will cooperate fully with the physician. If the physician determines that Employee is disabled, the physician
will certify to the Company that Employee is disabled and the physician’s determination in that respect will be conclusive. The Company will pay the physician’s fee. 
  
 (h)    “Restricted Business” means any business that is engaged in or (to
Employee’s knowledge, after due inquiry) preparing to engage in the design, manufacture, marketing, sale or distribution of semiconductors or modules (or components thereof) which provide the function of a radio frequency tuner or compete with
radio frequency products under development by the Company at the time of this Agreement or during Employee’s tenure as an executive of the Company. 
  
 7.    Severance Benefits for Termination resulting from other than a Change of Control. 
  
 (a)    Involuntary
Termination.    If Employee’s employment is terminated by the Board or CEO other than for Cause, or if Employee terminates her employment for Certain Reasons, in each case during the Term, then (i) Employee promptly
shall be paid compensation in a lump sum payment subject to applicable payroll withholding equal to $320,000 plus the highest annual bonus paid to Employee during the prior three (3) years (excluding the effect of the Litigation Bonus) as severance
benefits, (ii) options granted to Employee under the Company’s employee stock plans, if any, shall immediately vest and become exercisable as to the number of shares which would have otherwise vested had Employee continued to be employed for
twenty-four (24) months following the Date of Termination (but in no event may the shares which so vest exceed the number of shares subject to such options), (iii) the Company will continue to provide Employee coverage under a plan providing
whatever medical, dental, disability, life or insurance benefits were in effect at the time of such termination for the maximum period allowed under COBRA but no more than twenty four (24) months following the Date of Termination and (iv) any
repurchase rights held by the Company on options exercised or stock owned by the Employee will be canceled on the Date of Termination. 
  

 4 

 (b)    Voluntary Termination; Termination for Cause.    No
severance benefits shall be paid if Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Employee without Certain Reasons. 
  
 8.    Termination of Employment Following Change of Control.    If within two (2) years following a Change of Control,
Employee’s employment with the Company terminates as the result of a Constructive Termination or is terminated by the Company for other than Cause, then the Company shall provide to Employee as soon as practicable, but not more than ten (10)
business days following the Date of Termination, each of the following benefits: 
  
 (a)    Severance Benefits.    The Company promptly shall pay Employee a lump sum severance benefit subject to applicable withholding equal to the sum of (i) $320,000,
plus (ii) the highest annual bonus paid to Employee during the last three (3) full calendar years immediately prior to the Change of Control excluding the effect of the Litigation Bonus. 
  
 (b)    Equity Compensation.    All unvested stock options, stock appreciation
rights and restricted stock awards granted or awarded to Employee on the Date of Termination shall be deemed fully vested and exercisable on such Date of Termination, provided that if any option, right or award would, as a result of such accelerated
exercisability no longer qualify for exemption under section 16 of the Exchange Act, then such option, right or award shall be fully vested but shall not become exercisable until the earliest date on which it could become exercisable and also
qualify for exemption from section 16 of the Exchange Act. All vested options held by Employee, including those deemed fully vested as of the Date of Termination, shall remain exercisable for a period of one (1) year from the Date of Termination;
provided, however, in no event shall any option remain exercisable beyond the maximum period allowed therefor in the stock option plan under which it was granted. Any repurchase rights held by the Company on stock owned or options exercised by the
Employee shall be canceled on the Date of Termination. This Agreement shall serve as an amendment to all of Employee’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, repurchase rights, and stock appreciation rights as of the Date of
Termination; 
  
 (c)    Accrued
Bonus.    The Company shall pay Employee an amount equal to the pro rata amount of the annual bonus accrued under the Company’s executive officer bonus plan, if any, for the portion of the year prior to the Date of
Termination. 
  
 (d)    Other
Benefits.    The Company shall provide to Employee for the maximum period allowed under COBRA but no more than a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Date of Termination, coverage under a plan providing health and
welfare benefits, at least comparable to those benefits in effect on the Date of Termination, including but not limited to medical, dental, vision, disability, dependent care and life insurance coverage. At the Company’s election, health
benefits may be provided by reimbursing Employee for the cost of converting a group policy to individual coverage, or for the cost of extended COBRA coverage. The Company shall also pay to Employee an amount calculated to pay any income taxes due as
a result of the payment by the Company on Employee’s behalf for such health benefits. Such tax payment shall be calculated to place Employee in the same after-tax position as if no such income taxes had been imposed. 
  
 (e)    Other Benefits
Payable.    The benefits described in subsections (a) through (d) above shall be payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other accrued or vested or earned but deferred compensation, rights, options or other benefits
which may be owed to Employee following termination of employment, irrespective of whether Employee’s termination was preceded by a Change of Control, including, without limitation, accrued vacation or sick pay, amounts or benefits payable
under any employment agreement or any bonus or other compensation plans, stock option plan, stock ownership plan, stock purchase plan (but in no event may the options or shares which may vest under any such plan exceed the number of options or
shares granted to Employee under such plan), life insurance plan, health plan, disability plan or similar plan. 
  

 5 

 (f)    Indemnification.    For at least six years
following a Change of Control, Employee shall continue to be indemnified under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as may be amended from time to time, at least to the same extent as prior to the Change of Control, and
Employee shall be covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the fiduciary liability insurance and the professional liability insurance policies that are the same as, or provide coverage at least equivalent to, those the
Company carried prior to the Change of Control. 
  
 9.    Payment Obligations Absolute.    The Company’s obligation to pay the benefits described herein shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances,
including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company or any of its subsidiaries may have against Employee or anyone else. In the event of any dispute concerning Employee’s right to
payment, the Company shall nevertheless continue to pay to Employee the Base Compensation until the dispute is resolved. Any such amounts paid following Employee’s termination of his employment shall be credited against the amounts otherwise
due to Employee under this Agreement or, in the event the Company prevails, shall be repaid to the Company. 
  
 10.    Legal Fees.    The Company shall also pay forthwith upon written demand from Employee all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Employee in seeking to

demands and/or causes of action arising out of allegations of the constructive termination or the anticipatory constructive termination of her employment in any capacity by the Company, that she has as of the date she signs this Agreement
