Section 280G Approval. To the extent that any payments or benefits would constitute “parachute payments,” as such term is defined in Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 280G”) in connection with the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (the “Potential Parachute Payments”), prior to the Closing, the Company shall conduct a vote in accordance with the requirements of Section 280G with respect to the Potential Parachute Payments (the “280G Vote”), including using commercially reasonable efforts to (a) obtain a waiver of the right to receive Potential Parachute Payments from each person who is a “disqualified individual” within the meaning of Section 280G and who has Potential Parachute Payments and (b) solicit stockholder approval of some portion of the Potential Parachute Payments such that, if stockholder approval is obtained, there will be no parachute payments.

Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that stockholder approval of the Potential Parachute Payments was obtained in conformance with the applicable requirements of Section 280G, or that such stockholder approval was not obtained, and as a consequence the Potential Parachute Payments shall not be made or retained.

Neither the Company nor Seller, nor any of their respective Affiliates, will be deemed to be in breach of this Section 8.16 to the extent that the 280G Vote does not meet the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder due to Buyer’s breach of the immediately preceding sentence.
