1

removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board of Directors.
(c)    Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case unless, following such business combination:

(ii)    no person (excluding any corporation resulting from such business combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such business combination or any of their respective subsidiaries) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such business combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such corporation, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the business combination; and

(b)    indictment of the Participant for a felony in connection with the Participant’s employment duties or responsibilities to the Company and its Affiliates that is not quashed within six months; 
(c)    conviction of Participant of a felony; 
(d)    willful conduct by the Participant in connection with the Participant’s employment duties or responsibilities to the Company and its Affiliates that is gross misconduct (including, but not limited to, dishonest or fraudulent acts) and places the Company and its Affiliates at risk of material injury; or 
(e)    the Participant’s failure to comply with a policy of the Company and its Affiliates that places the Company and its Affiliates at risk of material injury.  
For purposes of this Section 2.7, no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Participant shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Participant’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company.  In addition, for purposes of this Section 2.7, “injury” shall include, but not be limited to, financial injury and injury to the reputation of the Company.  Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or a senior officer of the Company or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

(a)    a termination of employment by the Company within 24 months after a Change in Control, other than for Just Cause, death or permanent disability; or 
(b)    a termination of employment by the Participant within 24 months after a Change in Control for one or more of the following reasons: 
(i)    the assignment to such Participant of any duties inconsistent in a way significantly adverse to such Participant, with such Participant’s positions, duties, responsibilities and status with the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Change in Control, or a significant reduction in the duties and responsibilities held by the Participant immediately prior to the Change in Control, in each case except in connection with such Participant’s termination of employment by the Company for Just Cause;
(ii)    a reduction by the Company in the Participant’s combined annual base salary and guideline (target) bonus as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; or

provided, however, that in the case of any such termination of employment by a Participant under this subparagraph (b), such termination shall not be deemed to be a Qualifying Termination unless (x) Participant has notified the Company in writing describing the occurrence of one or more such events within 60 days of such occurrence, (y) the Company fails to cure such event within 30 days after its receipt of such written notice and (z) the termination of employment occurs within 120 days after the occurrence of such event.
