If the Participant is a party to an employment agreement, change in control employment agreement, or other services agreement with the Company or an Affiliate and such agreement provides for a definition of Good Reason, the definition contained in the agreement. If no such agreement exists or if such agreement does not define Good Reason, the definition of Good Reason contained in the Award Agreement. In all other cases, Good Reason shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following without the Participant’s express written consent, which circumstances are not remedied by the Company within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a written notice from the Participant describing the applicable circumstances (which notice must be provided by the Participant within ninety (90) days of the Participant’s knowledge of the applicable circumstances): # any material, adverse change in the Participant’s duties, responsibilities, authority, title, status or reporting structure; # a material reduction in the Participant’s base salary or bonus opportunity unless any such base salary or bonus opportunity reduction is proportionate to reductions in base salaries or bonus opportunities of other similarly situated employees of the Company; or # a geographical relocation of the Participant’s principal office location by more than thirty (30) miles.
“Good Reason” means the occurrence (without the Participant’s express written consent) of # a reduction in the Participant’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or as the same may be increased thereafter from time to time, or a reduction in the Participant’s annual performance incentive award opportunity or equity-based compensation that is not in good faith and consistent with past practices, or # any change in the location of the Participant’s principal place of employment as it existed immediately prior to the Change in Control to a location that is more than twenty-five (25) miles from such principal place of employment. No event described above shall constitute Good Reason unless the Participant gives written notice to the Company of the existence of the event within 90 days after the initial occurrence of such event and the Company has not remedied such within 30 days of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant is a party to a Change in Control Agreement (as defined below), “Good Reason” with respect to such Participant for purposes of this Plan shall have the meaning given to such term in the Change in Control Agreement.

"Good Reason" has the meaning set forth in any employment agreement, or, if none, in any change in control agreement, then in effect between the Participant and the Company or a subsidiary, if applicable, and, if the Participant has no such agreement or if such agreement does not define the term, "Good Reason" means # a material diminution in the Participant's authority, duties or responsibilities; # a material diminution in the Participant's base compensation; or # a relocation of the primary location at which the Participant must perform services to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles away. The Participant is required to provide notice to the Company of the existence of a condition described in this Section 2.1(o) within a ninety (90) day period of the initial existence of the condition, upon the notice of which the Company shall have thirty (30) days to remedy the condition. If the condition is remedied within thirty (30) days, then "Good Reason" does not exist. If the condition is not remedied within thirty (30) days, then the Participant must resign within ninety (90) days of the expiration of the remedy period.
As used in this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence, without the Participant’s express written consent, of any of the following events: (i) a material reduction in the Participant’s annual base salary; (ii) a material adverse change to the Participant’s title compared to the Participant’s title immediately prior to the Change in Control; (iii) a requirement that the Participant relocate to a principal place of employment more than fifty (50) miles from the Participant’s assigned principal office location as of immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control; or (iv) if the Participant has an effective employment agreement, service agreement, or other similar agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary, a material breach of such agreement, provided, that, any event described in [clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above]e]e]e] shall constitute Good Reason only if the Participant provides the Company with written notice of the basis for the Participant’s Good Reason within forty-five (45) days of the initial actions or inactions of the Company or any Subsidiary giving rise to such Good Reason and the Company or applicable Subsidiary has not cured the identified actions or inactions within sixty (60) days of such notice, and provided further that the Participant terminates his or her Service within thirty (30) days following the Company’s or applicable Subsidiary’s failure to cure within the 60-day cure period.
“Good Reason” means with respect to any Participant, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, without the Participant’s written consent, # the Company’s requiring a material change in the Participant’s principal place of employment as it existed immediately prior to the Change in Control, except for reasonably required travel on the Company’s business that is not materially greater than such travel requirements prior to the Change in Control (for this purpose, a change of 35 or fewer miles shall not be considered a material change in the Participant’s principal place of employment); # a material reduction in the Participant’s benefits or compensation (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(n)(2)(ii)(A)(2)) as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; or # a material reduction in the Participant’s job responsibilities, authority, position or duties with the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. A termination for Good Reason must be communicated by the Participant to the Company by written notice that specifies the event or events claimed to provide a basis for termination for Good Reason; provided that the Participant’s written notice must be tendered within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such event or events and provided further that the Company shall have failed to remedy such act or omission within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice. A Participant’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder if the Participant actually terminates employment within six months after the Company’s failure to timely remedy or, if earlier, prior to the 18 month anniversary of the Change in Control.
(t) Good Reason shall, with respect to any Participant, have the meaning specified in the Award Agreement. In the absence of any definition in the Award Agreement, Good Reason shall have the equivalent meaning (or the same meaning as good reason or for good reason) set forth in any employment, consulting, severance, change in control or other agreement for the performance of services between the Participant and the Company or a Related Entity or, in the absence of any such agreement, such term shall mean # the assignment to the Participant of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Participants position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as assigned by the Company (or a Related Entity), or any other action by the Company (or a Related Entity) which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company (or a Related Entity) promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Participant; # any failure by the Company (or a Related Entity) to comply with its obligations to the Participant as agreed upon, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company (or a Related Entity) promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Participant; # the Companys (or Related Entitys) requiring the Participant to be based at any office or location outside of fifty miles from the location of employment as of the date of Award, except for travel reasonably required in the performance of the Participants responsibilities; # any purported termination by the Company (or a Related Entity) of the Participants Continuous Service otherwise than for Cause as defined in [Section 2(e)], or by reason of the Participants Disability as defined in [Section 2(m)]. For purposes of this [Section 2(t)], any good faith determination of Good Reason made by the Committee shall be conclusive.
“Good Reason” means, with respect to a Participant, except as otherwise provided in a separate agreement between the Participant and the Company, # a material diminution in the Participant’s responsibilities, authority or duties, # a material reduction in the Participant’s base salary and bonus opportunity, or # a material change in the geographical location at which the Participant provides services to the Company, and in any case, the Company fails to take corrective action within 30 days after the Participant notifies the Company of the event giving rise to “Good Reason.”
“Good Reason” shall mean: # a material diminution in Participant’s authority, duties, or responsibilities; # a material change in geographic location where services are provided (the Company has determined this is any requirement by the Company or an Affiliate that Participant move to a location more than fifty (50) miles away from Participant’s regular office location); or # a material diminution in base salary, bonus or incentive opportunity. Good Reason shall not exist if # Participant expressly consents to such event in writing, # Participant fails to object in writing to such event within sixty (60) days of its effective date, or # Participant objects in writing to such event within sixty (60) days of its effective date but the Company cures such event within thirty (30) days after written notice from Participant. The written notice must describe the basis for Participant’s claim of Good Reason and identify what reasonable actions would be required to cure such Good Reason.
“Good Reason” shall mean: # Participant receives a material demotion in status or duties; or # any requirement by the Company that Participant move his regular office to a location more than 50 miles from the Company office at which Participant then was located immediately prior to a Change in Control; or # a material diminution in Participant’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control or as the same may be increased from time to time during the term of this Award Agreement.
