Retention Payment If Employee remains employed by Company or its subsidiaries on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, then Company shall pay to Employee in a lump sum within five (5) business days thereafter, an amount equal to $460,000 (the “Retention Payment”).
Termination Payments In the event of termination of the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period, all compensation and benefits set forth in this Agreement shall terminate except as specifically provided in this Section 8.
Change of Control Severance In addition to the rights of the Employee under the Company's employee benefit plans (paragraphs C of Section 3 above) but in lieu of any severance payment under paragraph F of this Section 4 above, if there is a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below) and the employment of the Employee is concurrently or subsequently terminated (a) by the Company without cause, (b) by the expiration of the Term of this Employment Agreement, or (c) by the resignation of the Employee because he has reasonably determined in good faith that his titles, authorities, responsibilities, salary, bonus opportunities or benefits have been materially diminished, that a material adverse change in his working conditions has occurred, that his services are no longer required in light of the Company's business plan, or the Company has breached this Employment Agreement, the Company shall pay the Employee, as a severance payment, at the time of such termination, the amount of Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000) together with the value of any accrued but unused vacation time, and the amount of all accrued but previously unpaid base salary through the date of termination and shall provide him with all of this benefits under paragraph C of Section 3 above for the longer of six (6) months or the full unexpired Term of this Employment Agreement. If any such termination occurs at or after the substantial completion of the liquidation of the assets of the Company, the severance payment shall be increased by adding Eighty-One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($81,250) to such amount. The Company shall promptly reimburse the Employee for the amount of any expenses incurred prior to such termination by the Employee as required under paragraph F of Section 3 above. For the purpose of this Employment Agreement, a Change in Control of the Company has occurred when: (a) any person (defined for the purposes of this paragraph G to mean any person within the meaning of Section 13 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), other than Neoprobe or an employee benefit plan created by its Board of Directors for the benefit of its employees, either directly or indirectly, acquires beneficial ownership (determined under Rule 13d-3 of the Regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of securities issued by Neoprobe having fifteen percent (15%) or more of the voting power of all the voting securities issued by Neoprobe in the election of Directors at the next meeting of the holders of voting securities to be held for such purpose; (b) a majority of the Directors elected at any meeting of the holders of voting securities of Neoprobe are persons who were not nominated for such election by the Board of Directors or a duly constituted committee of the Board of Directors having authority in such matters; (c) the stockholders of Neoprobe approve a merger or consolidation of Neoprobe with another person other than a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Neoprobe's voting securities issued and outstanding immediately before such merger or consolidation continue to hold voting securities in the surviving or resulting corporation (in the same relative proportions to each other as existed before such event) comprising eighty percent (80%) or more of the voting power for all purposes of the surviving or resulting corporation; or (d) the stockholders of Neoprobe approve a transfer of substantially all of the assets of Neoprobe to another person other than a transfer to a transferee, eighty percent (80%) or more of the voting power of which is owned or controlled by Neoprobe or by the holders of Neoprobe's voting securities issued and outstanding immediately before such transfer in the same relative proportions to each other as existed before such event. The parties hereto agree that for the purpose of determining the time when a Change of Control has occurred that if any transaction results from a definite proposal that was made before the end of the Term of this Employment Agreement but which continued until after the end of the Term of this Employment Agreement and such transaction is consummated after the end of the Term of this Employment Agreement, such transaction shall be deemed to have occurred when the definite proposal was made for the purposes of the first sentence of this paragraph G of this Section 4.
Change of Control Severance Benefits A Covered Termination of Executive’s employment on or within twelve (12) months following the effective date of a Change of Control entitles Executive to receive the benefits set forth in this Section 3.2.
Change of Control Benefits (i) If Executive's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated at any time within the two years following a Change of Control by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason (the effective date of either such termination hereafter referred to as the "Termination Date"), Executive shall be entitled to, and the Company shall be required to provide, subject to Executive's execution of a general release in favor of the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Release"), the payments and benefits provided hereafter in this Section 3 and as set forth in this Agreement. If Executive's employment by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries is terminated prior to a Change of Control by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries without Cause in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control, Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided hereafter in Sections 3 and 4 and as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, but only if an anticipated Change of Control actually occurs, and Executive's Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following the Change of Control. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event of any such termination, Executive shall continue to receive Executive's Base Salary at the annual rate in effect immediately prior to such termination (but not less than the annual rate in effect on the date of this Agreement) and any Bonus to which Executive would have been entitled had Executive remained employed until the date of the anticipated Change of Control, provided, however that such Base Salary and Bonus continuation shall end on the date of the anticipated Change of Control or the date that the agreement or other circumstance that would have resulted in the anticipated Change of Control terminates, whichever is applicable. Notice of termination without Cause or for Good Reason shall be given in accordance with Section 14, and shall indicate the specific termination provision hereunder relied upon, the relevant facts and circumstances and the Termination Date.
Change in Control Payments The provisions of this paragraph 8 set forth the terms of an agreement reached between Employee and the Company regarding Employee’s rights and obligations upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as hereinafter defined) of the Company during the Term. These provisions are intended to assure and encourage in advance Employee’s continued attention and dedication to his assigned duties and his objectivity during the pendency and after the occurrence of any such Change in Control. The following provisions shall apply in the event of a Change in Control, in addition to any payment or benefit that may be required pursuant to Section 7.

Such payments shall be subject to any and all applicable withholding, Social Security, employment, income and other taxes or assessments, if any, under the applicable tax law. If Executive should die during the ten-year period during which payments are being made under this Paragraph 3, then those payments shall terminate and future payments, if any, shall be made to Executive’s designated beneficiary(ies) or Executive’s estate in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4 of this Agreement.
