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.

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.
Termination Upon a Change in Control If Executive’s employment is subject to a Termination within a Covered Period, then, in addition to Minimum Benefits, the Company shall provide Executive the following benefits:
PAYMENTS TO EXECUTIVE UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Bank or the Company (as herein defined) followed at any time during the term of this Agreement by the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment, other than for Cause, as defined in Section 2(c) hereof, the provisions of Section 3 shall apply. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Executive shall have the right to elect to voluntarily terminate his employment at any time during the term of this Agreement following any demotion, loss of title, office or significant authority, reduction in his annual compensation or benefits, or relocation of his principal place of employment by more than 30 miles from its location immediately prior to the Change in Control.
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.
Upon a Change of Control In the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control while the Executive is employed by the Company:
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.
Termination Pursuant to a Change of Control If there is a Change of Control, as defined below, during the Term of Employment, the provisions of this Section 6(g) shall apply and shall continue to apply throughout the remainder of the Term (as extended by any Renewal Term). Upon a Change of Control, the Executive will become fully vested in any outstanding stock options, Restricted Stock or other stock grants awarded and become fully vested in all Company contributions made to the Executive’s 401(k), Profit Sharing or other retirement account(s). In addition, within thirty (30) days of the Change of Control, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum equal to the Executive’s pro rata target cash bonus for the year in which the Change of Control occurred (as such may be set forth in the Company’s bonus plan for such year and calculated assuming target achievement of corporate and personal goals); such pro rata amount to be determined based on the actual date of the closing of such Change of Control transaction. If, within two (2) years following a Change of Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (in accordance with Section 5(e) above) or by the Executive for “Good Reason” (as defined in Section 6(g)(ii) below), in lieu of any severance and other benefits payable under Section 6(e) or Section 6(f), subject to the Executive signing a general release of claims in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company and the lapse of any statutory revocation period, the Company shall pay to the Executive (or the Executive’s estate, if applicable) a lump sum amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of (x) the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate then in effect pursuant to Section 4(a), plus (y) an amount equal to the Executive’s cash bonus, if any, received in respect of the year immediately preceding the year of termination pursuant to Section 4(b) within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the cash severance payment to the Executive is considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the Change of Control does not constitute a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, such cash severance shall be payable in installments over the same period as provided in Section 6(e). The Company shall also pay 100% of the costs to provide up to twelve (12) months of outplacement support services at a level appropriate for the Executive’s title and responsibility and provide the Executive with health and dental insurance continuation at a level consistent with the level and type the Executive had in place at the time of termination for a period of twelve (12) months from the Date of Termination.

Note that in certain circumstances defined and set forth below, provisions of this Agreement shall survive for longer than the period described above.
