reasonable detail the nature of the Cause. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Cause” means
any of the following: (i) the Employee’s continued and substantial
violations of her employment duties or willful and material disregard of

duties which has materially and demonstrably injured the finances or future

act of fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement, or the like involving the

Cause hereunder if the Executive has materially cured such act or event during
the applicable thirty (30) day notice period.

    

    (b) The
Employee may terminate her employment for Good Reason with at least thirty
(30) days advance written notice to the Company setting forth in reasonable
detail the nature of the Good Reason.

     

    4. Severance Payments and Other Matters
Related to Termination.

     

    (a) In
the event of termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company other than

(i) the Employee shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash severance
amount equal to two hundred (200%) percent of Employee’s then current
annual salary, (ii) any earned but unpaid bonus payment,
(iii) reimbursement of the health and dental care continuation premiums for
Employee  incurred by Employee to effect continuation of health and
dental insurance coverage for Employee on the same basis as active employees,
for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of such termination,
to the extent that Employee is eligible for and elects continuation coverage
under COBRA; and (iv) any accrued and unused vacation pay payable within
twenty one (21) calendar days of the termination date (subject to required
withholding).

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (b) In
the event of termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company for Cause
or the Employee’s unilateral termination other than for Good Reason, the Company
will pay the Employee any Base Salary earned but not paid through the date of
termination, any earned but unpaid bonus, and pay for any vacation time accrued
but not used to that date.

     

    (c)
Except for any right the Employee may have under the federal law known as
“COBRA” to continue participation in the Company’s group health and dental
plans, and subject to Section 4(a)(iii) above, benefits shall terminate in
accordance with the terms of the applicable benefit plans based on the date of
termination of the Employee’s employment, without regard to any continuation of
base salary or other payment to the Employee following termination.

     

    (d)
Provisions of this Agreement shall survive any termination if so provided in
this Agreement or if necessary to accomplish the purposes of other surviving
provisions.

     

    (e)
Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
any cash severance payments otherwise due to the Employee pursuant to
Sections 4(a) or 5 or otherwise on or within the six-month period following
the Employee’s termination will accrue during such six-month period and will
become payable in a lump sum payment, with interest at the prime rate, on the
date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of termination,
provided, that such cash severance payments will be paid earlier, at the times
and on the terms set forth in the applicable provisions of Sections 4(a) or
5, if the Company and the Employee mutually determine that the imposition of
additional tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”), will not apply to an earlier payment of such cash
severance payments. In addition, this Agreement will be deemed amended to the
extent necessary to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition

of Control, the Employee shall automatically become fully vested in all of her
then-outstanding equity awards, any accrued but unpaid salary, vacation or bonus
payment, and the Employee shall be entitled to receive the consideration set
forth in section 4(a) hereof and shall be entitled to receive an additional cash
severance amount equal to $73,918.78.

Company or any of its Affiliates, or (ii) if any claim is made, or is
threatened to be made, that arises out of or relates the Employee’s service in

expenses, under this Section 6.
