GOOD REASON. In order for Employee to resign for Good Reason, Employee must provide written notice to the Company of the existence of the Good Reason condition within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such Good Reason condition. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company will have thirty (30) days during which it may remedy the Good Reason condition and not be required to provide for the benefits described in Section 4(b) above as a result of such proposed resignation if successfully remedied. If the Good Reason condition is not remedied within such thirty (30) day period, Employee may resign based on the Good Reason condition specified in the notice effective no later than thirty (30) days following the expiration of the thirty (30) day cure period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events without Employee’s consent: # a material reduction of Employee’s Base Salary not generally applicable to other executive-level employees of the Company, # a material diminution of the Employee’s authority, duties, or responsibilities, # a relocation of Employee’s primary workplace to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from the location of Employee’s primary workplace as of the date hereof, or # the Company’s material breach of this Agreement.

Employee may resign from Employee’s employment with the Company for Good Reason by giving notice following the end of the Cure Period (as defined in this Section). For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” for the Employee to terminate his employment hereunder shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events without the Employee’s consent: # a material reduction in the Employee’s Base Salary (other than an across-the-board decrease in base salary applicable to all executive officers of the Company); # a material breach of this Agreement by the Company; # a material reduction in the Employee’s duties, authority and responsibilities relative to the Employee’s duties, authority, and responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction; or # the relocation of the Employee’s then-principal place of employment, without the Employee’s consent, in a manner that lengthens his one-way commute distance by fifty (50) or more miles from his then-current principal place of employment immediately prior to such relocation; provided, however, that, any such termination by the Employee shall only be deemed for Good Reason pursuant to this definition if: # the Employee gives the Company written notice of his intent to terminate for Good Reason within thirty (30) days following the first occurrence of the condition(s) that he believes constitute(s) Good Reason, which notice shall describe such condition(s); # the Company fails to remedy such condition(s) within thirty (30) days following receipt of the written notice (the “Cure Period”); and # the Employee voluntarily terminates his employment within thirty (30) days following the end of the Cure Period.

Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” for your resignation of your employment will exist following the occurrence of any of the following without your written consent: # a material reduction in your duties (including responsibilities and/or authorities), provided, however, that a change in job position (including a change in title) shall not be deemed a “material reduction” in and of itself unless your new duties are substantially reduced from the prior duties; # relocation of your principal place of employment to a place that increases your one-way commute by more than seventy five (75) miles as compared to your then current principal place of employment immediately prior to such relocation; or # a reduction of at least 10% of your base salary or base compensation (unless pursuant to a salary or base compensation reduction program applicable generally to the Company’s key employees), which percentage the parties agree is a “material” reduction; provided, however, that in order to resign for Good Reason, you must # provide written notice to the Company within 30 days after the first occurrence of the event giving rise to Good Reason setting forth the basis for your resignation, # allow the Company at least 30 days from receipt of such written notice to cure such event, and # if such event is not reasonably cured within such period, your resignation from all positions you then hold with the Company is effective not later than 90 days after the expiration of the cure period.

Good Reason.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Good Reason will have occurred unless and until Executive has: # provided the Company, within sixty (60) days of Executive’s knowledge of the occurrence of the facts and circumstances underlying the Good Reason event, written notice stating with specificity the applicable facts and circumstances underlying such finding of Good Reason; # provided the Company with an opportunity to cure the same within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice; and # the Company shall have failed to so cure within such period.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the following occurs without your consent # the relocation of your normal principal place of work greater than thirty (30) miles from your then current normal work location; # a decrease in your then current base salary of more than fifteen percent (15%), other than any such decrease resulting from a general reduction by the Company in the base salary of all Company executive officers; or # the Company unilaterally makes significant detrimental reductions in your job responsibilities; provided, that you shall give written notice to the Chairman of the Board setting forth your intent to resign for Good Reason and the facts in support of your claim that Good Reason exists within sixty (60) days of the initial existence of any of the foregoing conditions; and the Company shall have thirty (30) days after the applicable party has received such notice to take such actions, if any, as the Company may deem appropriate to eliminate such claimed Good Reason (without thereby admitting that such Good Reason had occurred) (the “Cure Period”); and your termination of employment occurs within sixty (60) days following the end of the Cure Period. If the Company acts to eliminate such claimed Good Reason within the thirty (30) day period after receipt of your notice, then you shall not be deemed to be resigning for Good Reason under such facts.
