Termination Following a Change of Control If the Employee's employment terminates at any time within eighteen (18) months following a Change of Control, then, subject to Section 5, the Employee shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits:
Change of Control Triggering Event (a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Offered Securities, it shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Offered Securities to repurchase, at the Holder’s election, all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Offered Securities on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Offered Securities repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed to the Trustee and to the Holders of the Offered Securities describing in reasonable detail the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Offered Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
(b) In order to accept the Change of Control Offer, the Holder must deliver (or otherwise comply with alternative instructions in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary) to the paying agent, at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, its Offered Security together with the form entitled “Election Form” (which form is contained in the form of note attached hereto as Exhibit A) duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth:
(i) the name of the Holder of such Offered Security;
(ii) the principal amount of such Offered Security;
(iii) the principal amount of such Offered Security to be repurchased;
(iv) the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of such Offered Security;
(v) a statement that the Holder is accepting the Change of Control Offer; and
(vi) a guarantee that such Offered Security, together with the form entitled “Election Form” duly completed, will be received by the paying agent at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
(c) Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable. The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of an Offered Security, but in that event the principal amount of such Offered Security remaining outstanding after repurchase must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(d) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:
(i) accept for payment all Offered Securities or portions of such Offered Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(ii) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Offered Securities or portions of Offered Securities properly tendered; and
(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Offered Securities properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities or portions of Offered Securities being repurchased.
(e) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all Offered Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Offered Securities if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.
(f) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Offered Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 1.3(3), the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1.3(3) by virtue of any compliance with such laws or regulations.
Change of Control Transaction If the Company or its successor terminates the Employment upon a merger, consolidation, or transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company with or to any other individual(s) or entity (the “Change of Control Transaction”), the Executive shall be entitled to the following severance payments and benefits upon such termination: (1) a lump sum cash payment equal to 12 months of the Executive’s base salary at a rate equal to the greater of his/her annual salary in effect immediate1y prior to the termination, or his/her then current annua1 salary as of the date of such termination; (2) a lump sum cash payment equal to a pro-rated amount of his/her target annual bonus for the year immediately preceding the termination; and (3) immediate vesting of 100% of the then-unvested portion of any outstanding equity awards held by the Executive.

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer shall send notice of such Change of Control Offer by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee and the Registrar, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register with a copy to the Trustee and the Registrar or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with the following information:

(8) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.10, that a Holder must follow.
(a) the notice is mailed in a manner herein provided and (b) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue thereof.

(c) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.10 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.
(d) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.10, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 hereof.
