(ii) A change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by members of our Board whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election. For purposes of this clause (ii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change of Control; or

Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change of Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

 (t) “Term of Employment” shall mean the period specified in Section 2 below. 

Section 2. Term of Employment. 

Subject to Section 8 below, the Company agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to serve the Company, on an at-will basis, which means that either the Company or Executive may terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time and for any or no reason. The period of such at-will employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Term of Employment.” 

Section 3. Position, Duties and Responsibilities; Place of Performance. 

(a) During the Term of Employment, Executive shall serve as the Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary for the Company reporting to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, together with such other position or positions consistent with Executive’s title as the Board shall specify from time to time, and shall have such duties typically associated with such title. 

(b) Executive shall devote his full business time, attention, skill and best efforts to the performance of his duties under this Agreement and shall not engage in any other business or occupation during the Term of Employment that (x) conflicts with the interests of the Company, (y) interferes with the proper and efficient performance of his duties for the Company, or (z) interferes with the exercise of his judgment in the Company’s best interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Executive from (i) serving, with the prior written consent of the CEO, as a member of the board of directors or advisory board (or their equivalents in the case of a non-corporate entity) of non-competing businesses and charitable organizations, (ii) engaging in charitable activities and community affairs, and (iii) managing his personal investments and affairs; provided, however, that the activities set out in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be limited by Executive so as not to materially interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder or otherwise conflict with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined above).

(c) Executive’s principal place of employment shall be in Goleta, California although Executive understands and agrees that he may be required to travel from time to time for business reasons. 

Section 4. Compensation. During the Term of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to the following compensation: 

(a) Base Salary. Commencing as of the Effective Date Executive shall be paid an annualized Base Salary of $325,000 (the “Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company.  The Base Salary shall be subject to annual review, based on both Executive and Company performance. 

(b) Annual Bonus. 

(i) Executive is eligible for a discretionary annual performance bonus award (the “Annual Bonus”), determined pursuant to the Company’s Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”), as may be modified by the Company. Executive’s initial target Annual Bonus is 40% of Executive’s Base Salary (the “Bonus Target”), and the Bonus Target for 2021 will be pro-rated based on the fraction obtained by dividing (x) the number of days during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2021, by (y) 366.  

(ii) The actual Annual Bonus payable shall be between 0% of the Bonus Target and the maximum percentage of the Bonus Target set forth in the MIP (which, for 2021, will be 200% of the Bonus Target), with specific financial targets for the MIP. To the extent that such targets are financial and quantifiable, such Annual Bonus is payable on a sliding scale as set forth in the MIP. The Annual Bonus, or installments thereof, is earned as of the end of any applicable fiscal year, provided all relevant targets and conditions have been met, and paid to Executive following the annual audit for such fiscal year at such time as annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company, as discussed more fully in the MIP.  The eligibility for and payment of any bonus under the MIP is subject to the terms and conditions of the MIP, which are at the discretion of the Company.   

(c) Company Equity Awards. 

(i) Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”), Executive will be granted a one-time award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) having an approximate grant date value equal to $600,000.  The number of RSUs shall be calculated on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as of the date of grant.  The RSUs vest over four years based on satisfaction of time and service-based requirements as follows: 25% will vest on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date (as determined by the Committee) and 1/16th of the RSUs will vest every three months thereafter on the same day of the month, subject to Executive continuing to be a service provider to the Company through each such date.  The RSUs will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan and form of RSU agreement (collectively, the “Stock Agreements”), in each case, which will be made available to Executive following the date the RSUs are granted.

(ii) Subject to the approval of the Committee, Executive will also be eligible for an additional equity award of RSUs in approximately March 2022 having an expected grant date value of $300,000 with vesting based on the same terms and conditions as the annual equity awards made to the Company’s similarly situated executives.  

(d) Sign-On Bonus.  Within 30 days of the effective date of this agreement, the Company will pay Executive a $25,000 sign-on bonus, less applicable withholdings (the “Sign-On Bonus”). If, prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive voluntarily without Good Reason, Executive agrees  to repay the Company a portion of the Sign-On Bonus within thirty (30) days of Executive’s employment termination date, with such portion equal to (i) the net after tax amount of the Sign-On Bonus multiplied by (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the difference between (x) twelve (12) minus (y) the number of completed months between the Effective Date and the date Executive’s employment with the Company terminates and (B) the denominator of which is twelve (12).     For   clarity,   if

Executive’s   employment   is   terminated   by   the   Company   without   Cause   or   by   Executive voluntarily for Good Reason, Executive will not be obligated to repay any portion of the Sign-On Bonus.

Section 5. Executive Benefits. 

During the Term of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to participate in health, insurance, retirement and other benefits provided to other similarly-situated executives of the Company, including the same number of holidays, sick days and other benefits as are generally allowed to such executives of the Company in accordance with the Company policy in effect from time to time.  Executive initially will be entitled to accrue paid time off (“PTO”) at a rate equal to 20 days per year to be taken in accordance with the Company’s PTO policy, with the timing and duration of specific days off mutually and reasonably agreed to by the parties. After Executive’s first full year of service, Executive’s PTO accrual rate will increase at a rate equal to one additional day per year for each of the next seven years of service up to a maximum accrual rate equal to 27 days of PTO per year.  Executive initially will be entitled to voluntary time off for community service (“VTO”) for 1 day per year to be taken in accordance with the Company’s VTO policy, with the timing of specific days off mutually and reasonably agreed to by the parties.

 

Section 6. Key-Man Insurance. 

At any time during the Term of Employment, the Company shall have the right to insure the life of Executive for the sole benefit of the Company, in such amounts, and with such terms, as it may determine. All premiums payable thereon shall be the obligation of the Company. Executive shall have no interest in any such policy, but agrees to cooperate with the Company in taking out such insurance by submitting to physical examinations, supplying all information required by the insurance company, and executing all necessary documents, provided that no financial obligation is imposed on Executive by any such documents. 

Section 7. Payment and Reimbursement of Business Expenses. 

Executive is authorized to incur reasonable business expenses in carrying out his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement and the Company shall pay, or if Executive shall have paid, shall promptly reimburse Executive for any and all such reasonable business expenses for business, entertainment, promotion, professional association dues and travel incurred by Executive in connection with carrying out the business of the Company, subject to documentation and the other limitations and requirements under the Company’s policy, as in effect from time to time, and subject to the consent of the CEO. 

Section 8. Termination of Employment. 

(a) General. The Term of Employment shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) Executive’s death, (ii) a termination by reason of a Disability, (iii) a termination by the Company with or without Cause, or (iv) a termination by Executive with or without Good Reason. Upon any termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, except as may otherwise be requested by the Company in writing and agreed upon in writing by Executive, Executive shall resign from any and all directorships, committee memberships or any other positions Executive holds with the Company (collectively, the “Board Resignation”). The payment hereunder of any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) upon a termination of employment shall not be paid to Executive until such time as Executive has undergone a “separation from service” as defined in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(h) (the “Separation from Service”). 

(b) Termination due to Death or Disability. Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon his death. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment immediately upon the occurrence of a Disability, such termination to be effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice of such termination. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated due to his death or Disability, Executive or his estate or his beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to: 

(i) The Accrued Obligations; and

 

Page 5 of 13

DCR 16-204

 

(ii) Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect to any completed fiscal year, which has ended prior to the date of such termination, which amount shall be paid at such time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company.

 

Following such termination of Executive’s employment by the reason of death or Disability, except as set forth in this Section 8(b), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement or otherwise. 

(c) Termination by the Company for Cause. 

(i) The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for Cause, effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice of such termination; provided, however, that with respect to any termination for Cause which is described in clause (iv) of Section 1(e) or, to the extent capable of being cured (as determined by the Company in its discretion), clause (v) of Section 1(e) above, Executive shall be given not less than ten (10) days written notice by the CEO of the intention to terminate his employment for Cause, such notice to state in detail the particular act or acts or failure or failures to act that constitute the grounds on which the proposed termination for Cause is based, and such termination shall be effective at the expiration of such ten (10) day notice period unless Executive has fully cured such acts or failure or failures to act that give rise to Cause during such period to the satisfaction of the Company. 

(ii) In the event the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause, he shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. Following such termination of Executive’s employment for Cause, except as set forth in this Section 8(c)(ii), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement or otherwise. 

(d) Termination by the Company without Cause Unrelated to a Change of Control. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time without Cause, effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice of such termination. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than due to death or Disability) outside of the Change of Control Period, subject to the conditions set forth under Sections 8(h) and Section 12 below, Executive shall be entitled to: 

(i) The Accrued Obligations; 

(ii) Any unpaid Annual Bonus in respect to any completed fiscal year which has ended prior to the date of such termination, which amount shall be paid at such time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company; 

(iii) Continuation of payment of Base Salary during the Severance Term, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, it being agreed that each installment of Base Salary payable hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code; and 

(iv) Continuation, during the period of time permitted under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (the “COBRA Period”), of the medical benefits provided to Executive and his covered dependents under the Company’s health plans in effect as of the date of such termination, it being understood and agreed that Executive shall be required to pay that portion of the cost of such medical benefits as Executive was required to pay (including through customary deductions from Executive’s paycheck) as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligation to provide such continuation of benefits shall terminate prior to the expiration of the COBRA Period in the event that Executive becomes eligible to receive any such or similar benefits while employed by or providing service to, in any capacity, any other business or entity during the COBRA Period. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8(d)(iv) to the contrary, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit related to COBRA premiums without potentially violating, or being subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010), the Company will in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment, payable on the last day of a given month (except as provided by 

 

Page 6 of 13

FM-0410 Rev A

DCR 16-204

 

the following sentence), in an amount equal to the portion of the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue the group health coverage for Executive and his eligible dependents at coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination (which amount will equal the excess of the full monthly COBRA premium cost Executive would be required to pay and the monthly medical premium costs that Executive was required to pay as of immediately prior to the date of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company), which payments will be made regardless of whether Executive or his eligible dependents elect COBRA continuation coverage on the first payroll date following Executive’s termination of employment (subject to any delay as may be required by Section 12 of this Agreement) and will end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which Executive obtains other employment or (y) the end of the COBRA Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the taxable payments in lieu of COBRA subsidies may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payments and benefits described in clauses (ii), (iii), and (iv) above shall immediately terminate, and the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive with respect thereto, in the event that Executive breaches any provision of Section 9 hereof or the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Following such termination of Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause, except as set forth in this Section 8(d), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement or otherwise. 

(e) Termination by Executive with Good Reason Unrelated to a Change of Control. Executive may terminate his employment with Good Reason by providing the Company thirty (30) days’ written notice setting forth in reasonable specificity the event that constitutes Good Reason, which written notice, to be effective, must be provided to the Company within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such event. During such thirty (30) day notice period, the Company shall have a cure right (if curable), and if not cured within such period, Executive’s termination will be effective upon the expiration of such cure period, and, if such termination occurs outside of the Change of Control Period, Executive shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits as provided in Section 8(d) above for a termination by the Company without Cause, subject to the same conditions on payment and benefits as described in Section 8(d) above. Following such termination of Executive’s employment by Executive with Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 8(e), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement or otherwise. 

 (f) Termination by Company without Cause or by Executive with Good Reason in Connection with a Change of Control. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than due to death or Disability) or Executive terminates his employment with Good Reason (by providing thirty (30) days written notice to the Company and with such cure period as described in subsection 8(e), above) during the Change of Control Period, Executive shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits as described in Section 8(d) above, provided, however, that payment of Executive’s Base Salary shall continue through the Change of Control Severance Term, rather than the Severance Term. Such continuing payments shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, it being agreed that each installment of Base Salary payable hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Any such payments or benefits shall also be subject to the same conditions described in Section 8(d) above. Any payments or benefits previously made to Executive under Section 8(d) or 8(e) above, shall offset the payments and benefits due to Executive under this Section 8(f), if any

(g) Termination by Executive without Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment without Good Reason by providing the Company thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination. In the event of a termination of employment by Executive under this Section 8(g), Executive shall be entitled only to the Accrued Obligations. In the event of termination of Executive’s employment under this Section 8(g), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice accelerate such date of termination and still have it treated as a termination without Good Reason. Following such termination of Executive’s employment by Executive without Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 8(g), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement or otherwise. 

(h) Conditions Precedent.  Any severance payments and post-employment benefits (other than the Accrued Obligations), in each case, as applicable, contemplated by Sections 8(b), (d), (e), and (f) above are conditional

DCR 16-204

 

on Executive: (i) continuing to comply with the terms of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined above); and (ii) Executive executing and not revoking a Separation Agreement, including a general release of claims, in favor of the Company, substantially in the form approved by the Company, and such release becoming effective within 60 days following Executive’s Separation from Service (as defined above); and (iii) the effectuating the Board Resignation (as discussed above).  The severance benefits will be paid and/or provided in installments immediately beginning on the first payroll date after the 60th day following your Separation from Service, provided the Separation Agreement becomes effective and other conditions precedent have been met, and will continue to be paid thereafter, if applicable, based on the Company’s regular payroll schedule.  The payment following the 60th day from your Separation from Service will include a lump sum of any severance payments that you would have received on or prior to such date under the original schedule but for the delay while waiting for the 60th day in compliance with Code Section 409A and the effectiveness of the release, with the balance of the Severance Benefits being paid in installments as originally scheduled, if applicable.

 

Section 9. Disclosure of Confidential information; Return of Documents.

(a) Disclosure of Confidential Information. At any time during and after the end of the Term of Employment, without the prior written consent of the CEO, except to the extent required by an order of a court having jurisdiction or under subpoena from an appropriate government agency, in which event, Executive shall use his best efforts to consult with the CEO prior to responding to any such order or subpoena, and except as required in the performance of his duties hereunder, Executive shall not disclose to or use for his individual benefit or the benefit of any third party any Confidential Information, as further discussed under the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) Return of Documents. In the event of the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall deliver to the Company all of (i) the property of the Company, and (ii) the documents and data of any nature and in whatever medium of the Company, and he shall not take with his any such property, documents or data or any reproduction thereof, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information, as set forth in more detail under Section 5 of the Confidentiality Agreement. 

Section 10. Taxes. 

The Company may withhold from any payments made under this Agreement all applicable taxes, including but not limited to income, employment and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law. Executive acknowledges and represents that the Company has not provided any tax advice to him in connection with this Agreement and that he has been advised by the Company to seek tax advice from his own tax advisors regarding this Agreement and payments that may be made to him pursuant to this Agreement, including specifically, the application of the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to such payments. 

 

Section 11. Set Off; Mitigation. 

The Company’s obligation to pay Executive the amounts provided and to make the arrangements provided hereunder shall be subject to set-off, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by Executive to the Company or its affiliates. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and, except as provided in Section 8(d)(iv) hereof, the amount of any payment provided for pursuant to this Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned as a result of Executive’s other employment or otherwise. 

Section 12. Section 409A. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance pay or benefits to be paid or provided to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, are considered deferred compensation under Code (as defined below) Section 409A, and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a Separation from Service.

DCR 16-204

 

(b) Any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Payments will be paid on, or, in the case of installments, will not commence until, the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s Separation from Service, or, if later, such time as required by Section 12(c). Except as required by Section 12(c), and as discussed under Section 8(h), any installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately following Executive’s Separation from Service but for the preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s Separation from Service and the remaining payments shall be made as provided in this Agreement. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s Separation from Service, will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s Separation from Service. All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive’s Separation from Service, but prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Separation from Service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

(d) Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of subsection (a) above. 

(e) Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary Separation from Service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of subsection (a) above. 

(f) The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A. 

(g) For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” will mean two (2) times the lesser of: (i) Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during Executive’s taxable year preceding Executive’s taxable year of his Separation from Service as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s Separation from Service occurred. 

Section 13. Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. 

(a) The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its respective successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, obligations or interests arising hereunder may be assigned by the Company without Executive’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to a person or entity other than an affiliate or parent entity of the Company, or their respective successors or assigns; provided, however, that, in the event of the merger, consolidation, transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company with or to any other individual or entity, this Agreement shall, subject to the provisions hereof, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such successor and such successor shall discharge and perform all the promises, covenants, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder, it being agreed that in such circumstances, the consent of Executive shall not be required in connection therewith.

Section 14. Waiver and Amendments. 

Any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment or modification is consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Board. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver. 

Section 15. Severability. 

If any covenants or such other provisions of this Agreement are found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator: (a) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, and (b) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof. 

Section 16. Governing Law. 

This Agreement is governed by and is to be construed under the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws rules. 

Section 17.  ARBITRATION

Section 19. Section Headings. 

The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part thereof, affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or of any term or provision hereof. 

Section 20. Entire Agreement. 

This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, together with any exhibits attached thereto, constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto regarding the employment of Executive. This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, correspondence, communications, understandings and agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. 

Section 21. Survival of Operative Sections. 

Upon any termination of Executive’s employment, the provisions of Section 8 through Section 24 of this Agreement (together with any related definitions set forth in Section 1 hereof) shall survive to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions thereof. 

Section 22. Limitation on Payments. 

In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section 22, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s severance and other benefits will be either: 

(a) delivered in full, or 

(b) delivered as to such letter extent which would result in no portion of such severance and other benefits being subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, 

whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance and other benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance and other benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in the severance and other benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that no portion of such severance benefits is subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the reduction shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of the cash severance payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards; and (3) reduction of continued employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Executive’s equity awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company submits any payment or benefit payable to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise to the Company’s stockholders for approval in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1 Q&A 7, the foregoing provisions shall not apply following such submission and such payments and benefits will be treated in accordance with the results of such vote, except that any reduction in, or waiver of, such payments or benefits required by such vote will be applied without any application of discretion by Executive and in the order prescribed by this Section 22. 

Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 22 will be made in writing by an independent firm (the “Firm”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 22, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 22. The Company will bear all costs the Firm may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 22.

Section 23. Counterparts. 

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The execution of this Agreement may be by actual or facsimile signature. 

Section 24. Protected Activity Not Prohibited.

Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or prohibit him from engaging for a lawful purpose in any Protected Activity.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Protected Activity” shall mean filing a charge or complaint, or otherwise communicating, cooperating, or participating with, any state, federal, or other governmental agency, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the National Labor Relations Board.  Notwithstanding any restrictions set forth in this Agreement, Executive understands that he is not required to obtain authorization from the Company prior to disclosing information to, or communicating with such agencies, nor is he obligated to advise the Company as to any such disclosures or communications. Notwithstanding, in making any such disclosures or communications, Executive agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute the Company’s Confidential Information to any parties other than the relevant government agencies.  Executive further understands that “Protected Activity” does not include the disclosure of any Company attorney-client privileged communications, and that any such disclosure without the Company’s written consent shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.  Each of these issues are more fully discussed in the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 25. General.

Executive’s employment is made contingent upon a satisfactory background investigation, credit report and Executive’s ability to provide proof of identification and authorization to work in the United States, in accordance with the Immigration and Control Act of 1986.
