Employee must provide notice to the Employer of the condition Employee contends is Good Reason within 30 days of the initial existence of the condition, and the Employer must have a period of 30 days to remedy the condition. If the condition is not remedied, Employee must provide a Notice of Termination as set forth in Sections 6(e) and 15(i) of this Agreement within 30 days of the end of the Employer’s remedy period.

If the Company fails to cure or rectify the grounds for such Good Reason termination set forth in the notice provided above within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, then Employee may terminate his employment under this Section 3.1(b) any time within thirty (30) days following such failure. “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following: # relocation of Employee’s principal workplace over sixty (60) miles from the Company’s existing workplaces without the consent of Employee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), # after the Transition Period, Employee is demoted from the position of Chief Executive Officer or President of the Company, # after the Transition Period, a material diminution in the Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, # the Company fails to nominate Employee to serve as a director in connection with any annual or special meeting of stockholders at which stockholders will vote on the election of directors or, if elected as a director, the Board fails to elect the Employee as Chairman, or # the Company’s material breach of this Agreement which is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company from Employee of written notice of such breach.

Termination By Employee For Good Cause. Employee may terminate Employee’s employment at any time for “Good Cause,” which is: # Company’s failure to comply with a material term of this Agreement after written notice by Employee specifying the alleged failure; # a substantial and unusual increase in responsibilities and authority without an offer of additional reasonable compensation as determined by Company in light of compensation for similarly situated employees; # a substantial and unusual reduction in responsibilities or authority; # if Employee’s responsibilities and authority in a finance-related capacity have not been expanded within the first twelve (12) months of Employment; or # relocation outside a 50 mile radius of New York City, New York.
