compensation and benefits earned or owing, and (ii) compliance with the restrictive covenants and all post-termination obligations contained in this Agreement. 

 

	 	3.	Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, Cause shall include but not be limited to an act or acts or an omission to act by the Executive involving (i) willful

the basis for the determination that the Executive has failed to perform his duties, (ii) indictment for a criminal offense other than misdemeanors not disclosable under the federal securities laws, (iii) breach of this Agreement in any
material respect and such breach is not susceptible to remedy or cure or has not already materially damaged the Company, or is susceptible to remedy or cure and no such damage has occurred, is not cured or remedied reasonably promptly after written

the happening of an event that shall be deemed to have occurred upon the earliest to occur of the following events: (i) the date the stockholders of the Company (or the Board, if stockholder action is not required) approve a plan or other
arrangement pursuant to which the Company will be dissolved or liquidated; (ii) the date the stockholders of the Company (or the Board, if stockholder action is not required) approve a definitive agreement to sell or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iii) the date the stockholders of the Company (or the Board, if stockholder action is not required) and the stockholders of the other constituent corporations (or their respective boards of
directors, if and to the extent that stockholder action is not required) have approved a definitive agreement to merge or consolidate the Company with or into another corporation, other than, in either case, a merger or consolidation of the Company
in which holders of shares of the Company’s voting capital stock immediately prior to the merger or consolidation will have at least fifty percent (50%) of the ownership of voting capital stock of the surviving corporation immediately
after the merger or consolidation (on a fully diluted basis), which voting capital stock is to be held by each such holder in the same or substantially similar proportion (on a fully diluted basis) as such holder’s ownership of voting capital
stock of the Company immediately before the merger or consolidation. 

	 	5.	Constructive Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, Constructive Termination shall mean a situation after a Change of Control where: (i) the failure
by the Company to provide the Executive with compensation and benefits substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided for under the employee compensation plans, benefit plans, programs and practices in effect immediately prior to the
