Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, unless the Employee elects in writing to waive this provision, a Change in Control (as defined in Section 11(d) below) of the Company shall be deemed a termination of the Employee without Cause, and the Employee shall be entitled to receive and the Company agrees to pay to the Employee the same amount determined under Section 7.2 7(b) that is payable to the Employee on termination without Cause up to a maximum of five million five hundred thousand dollars ($5,500,000) provided, however, that such amount shall be payable paid in a lump sum on the Date of Termination and not in installments as provided in Section 7.27(b). In addition, on a Change of Control, all of the Employee's outstanding but unvested options Options and other options, warrants and rights relating to capital stock of the Company shall immediately vest and become exercisable, and the term of any such options (including the Options), warrants and rights shall be extended to the first fifth anniversary of the Employee's termination, and all RSUs and shares of the Company's restricted stock issued to the Employee shall immediately vest and become unrestricted and freely transferable. After a Change in Control, if any previously outstanding option (including the Options), warrant or right (the "Terminated Option") relating to the Company's capital stock does not remain outstanding, the successor to the Company or its then Parent (as defined in Section 10 below) shall either: :
(i) Issue an option, warrant or right, as appropriate (the "Successor Option"), to purchase common stock of such successor or Parent in an amount such that on exercise of the Successor Option the Employee would receive the same number of shares of the successor's/Parent's common stock as the Employee would have received had the Employee exercised the Terminated Option immediately prior to the transaction resulting in the Change in Control and received shares of such successor/Parent in such transaction. The aggregate exercise price for all of the shares covered by such Successor Option shall equal the aggregate exercise price of the Terminated Option; or or
(ii) Pay the Employee a bonus within ten (10) days after the consummation of the Change in Control Control, in an amount agreed to by the Employee and the Company. Such amount shall be at least equivalent on to an after-tax basis to the net after-tax gain that the Employee would have realized if the Employee he had been issued a Successor Option under clause 10.1(a(i) above and had immediately exercised such Successor Option and sold the underlying stock, taking into account the different tax rates that apply to such bonus and to such gain, and such amount shall also reflect other differences to the Employee between receiving a bonus under this clause 10.1(b(ii) and receiving a Successor Option under clause 10.1(a(i) above.
