(b) “Change in Control” means, except with respect to cash Severance Benefits payable under Section 8.2(a), any of the following events:

(i) an acquisition (other than directly from the Company) of any voting securities of the Company (the “Voting Securities”) by any “Person” (as the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), immediately after which such Person has “Beneficial Ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the then outstanding Shares of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred, Shares or Voting Securities which are acquired in a “Non-Control Acquisition” (as hereinafter defined) shall not constitute an acquisition which would cause a Change in Control. A “Non-Control Acquisition” shall mean an acquisition by (A) an employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a party thereof) maintained by (1) the Company or (2) any corporation or other Person of which all of its voting power or its voting equity securities or equity interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company prior to such acquisition (for purposes of this definition, a “Subsidiary”, (B) the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (C) any Person in connection with a “Non-Control Transaction” (as hereinafter defined).

(ii) the individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”), cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s common stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; provided, further, however, that no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed officer as a result of either an actual or threatened “Election Contest” (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board (a “Proxy Contest”) including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or

(iii) the consummation of:

(A) a merger, consolidation or reorganization involving the Company, unless such merger, consolidation or reorganization is a “Non-Control Transaction.” A “Non-Control Transaction” shall mean a merger consolidation or reorganization of the Company where (1) the stockholders of the Company, immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own directly or indirectly immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization, at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or reorganization (the “Surviving Corporation”) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Voting Securities immediately before such merger, consolidation or reorganization, (2) the individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such merger, consolidation or reorganization constitute at least two-thirds of the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation, or a corporation beneficially directly or indirectly owning a majority of the Voting Securities of the Surviving Corporation, and (3) no Person other than (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary, or (iii) any employee benefit plan (or any trust forming a part thereof) that, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, was maintained by the Company, or any Subsidiary;

(B) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or

(C) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person (other than a transfer to a Subsidiary).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person (the “Subject Person”) acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of Shares or Voting Securities then outstanding, increases the proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by the Subject Persons, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition by the Company, the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Shares or Voting Securities which increases the percentage of the then outstanding Shares or Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by the Subject Person, then a Change in Control shall occur. In the event of any conflict between this Section 8.7(b) and any agreement between Executive and the Company relating to any outstanding award (whether now existing or hereafter entered into), the provisions of this subsection shall prevail.

With respect to cash Severance Benefits payable under Section 8.2(a), “Change in Control” means a Change in Control as defined in this Section 8.7(b), but only if such event also constitutes a “change in control event” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5).

(c) “Disability” means a disability as defined by the group long-term disability insurance policy maintained by Company for the benefit of its employees. In the absence of such a policy, “Disability” means that, as a result of Executive’s mental or physical illness, Executive is unable to perform (with or without reasonable accommodation in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act) the duties of Executive’s position pursuant to this Agreement for a continuous period of three (3) months. A determination of Disability shall be made by a physician satisfactory to both the Executive and the Company, which physician’s determination as to Disability shall be made within ten (10) days of the request therefor and shall be binding on all parties; provided, however, that if the Executive and the Company do not agree on a physician, the Executive and the Company shall each select a physician and these two together shall select a third physician, which third physician’s determination as to Disability shall be binding on all parties.

(d) “Involuntary Termination” means the occurrence of either (i) termination by Company of Executive’s employment with Company for any reason other than Cause or (ii) Executive’s Resignation for Good Reason; provided, however that Involuntary Termination shall not include any termination of Executive’s employment which is (x) for Cause, (y) a result of Executive’s death or Disability, or (z) a result of Executive’s voluntary termination of employment which is not a Resignation for Good Reason. Company may terminate Executive’s employment with Company without Cause at any time on thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Executive.

(e) “Resignation for Good Reason” means the voluntary resignation by Executive from employment with Company within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the initial existence, without Executive’s express written consent, of any of the below conditions (each, a “Good Reason”). The Good Reason condition must remain in effect for thirty (30) days after Executive’s delivery of written notice of the existence of such condition(s) to Company and such written notice must be given within ninety (90) days following the initial existence of such condition(s):

(i) a material, adverse change in Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities, including without limitation any change in Executive’s reporting relationship such that Executive ceases to report directly to the Board;

(ii) a failure to pay the Executive’s Base Salary or Bonus, or any material reduction in Executive’s Base Salary or Executive’s target Bonus percentage opportunity (subject to applicable performance requirements with respect to the actual amount of Bonus earned by Executive);

(iii) the relocation of Executive’s work place for Company to a location more than thirty (30) miles from the Primary Work Location, unless the new Primary Work Location is less than thirty (30) miles away from Executive’s home immediately prior to the change; or

(iv) the failure of Company or any Successor to honor any material term of this Agreement.

9. Acceleration of Vesting upon a Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, provided that Executive confirms in writing to the Company that he agrees to be bound by the post-termination covenant in Section 12.2 hereof, the vesting of all then unvested outstanding Equity Awards granted to Executive shall accelerate in full. This Section shall be applied to each Equity Award or any portion thereof that remains subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture until both (i) one or more applicable corporate financial or other business performance goals have been satisfied and (ii) Executive’s service with Company has continued through a specified date, and with respect to such Equity Award neither of the conditions specified in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this sentence has been satisfied, by accelerating in full the target number of shares or units that would vest pursuant to such Equity Award if Executive’s employment had not terminated and if all performance-based milestones were achieved at the 100% level by both Company and Executive. The foregoing provision is hereby deemed to be a part of each agreement evidencing each applicable Equity Award to which Executive is a party and to supersede any contrary provision in any such agreement unless such agreement specifically refers to and disclaims this Section 9 of this Agreement.

10. Golden Parachute Payments.

10.1 In the event that any of the severance payments and other benefits provided by this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (“Excise Tax”), then Executive’s severance payments and benefits under this Agreement or otherwise shall be payable either:

(a) in full, or

(b) in such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such severance payments or benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance payments and benefits under this Agreement or otherwise, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance payments or benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Any reduction in the severance payments and benefits required by this Section will made in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) reduction of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (iii) reduction of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (iv) reduction of other benefits paid or provided to Executive.

10.2 The professional firm engaged by Company for general tax purposes as of the day prior to the date of the event that might reasonably be anticipated to result in severance payments and benefits that would otherwise be subject to the Excise Tax will perform the foregoing calculations. If the tax firm so engaged by Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the acquiring company, Company will appoint a nationally recognized tax firm to make the determinations required by this Section. Company will bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made by this Section. Company and Executive shall furnish such tax firm such information and documents as the tax firm may reasonably request in order to make its required determination. The tax firm will provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to Company and Executive as soon as practicable following its engagement. Any good faith determinations of the tax firm made hereunder will be final, binding and conclusive upon Company and Executive.

10.3 As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 409A, 280G or 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the professional firm described in Section 10.2, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or other agency will claim that an Excise Tax greater than that amount, if any, determined by such professional firm for the purposes of Section 10.1 is due (the “Additional Excise Tax”). Executive will notify Company in writing of any claim by the IRS or other agency that, if successful, would require payment of Additional Excise Tax. Executive and Company shall each reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of liability for Excise Tax with respect to payments made or due to Executive. Company shall pay all reasonable fees, expenses and penalties of Executive relating to a claim by the IRS or other agency. In the event it is finally determined that a further reduction would have been required under Section 10.1(b) to place Executive in a better after-tax position, Executive shall repay Company such amount within thirty (30) days thereof in order to effect such result.

11. No Conflict of Interest. During the term of Executive’s employment with Company, Executive must not engage in any work, paid or unpaid, that creates an actual or potential conflict of interest with Company. If the Board reasonably believes such a conflict exists during the term of this Agreement, the Board may ask Executive to choose to discontinue the other work or resign employment with Company.

12. Post-Termination Non-Competition.

12.1 Consideration For Promise To Refrain From Competing. Executive agrees that Executive’s services are special and unique, that Company’s disclosure of confidential, proprietary information and specialized training and knowledge to Executive, and that Executive’s level of compensation and benefits are partly in consideration of and conditioned upon Executive not competing with Company. Executive acknowledges that such consideration is adequate for Executive’s promises contained within this Section 12.

12.2 Promise To Refrain From Competing. Executive understands Company’s need for Executive’s promise not to compete with Company is based on the following: (a) Company has expended, and will continue to expend, substantial time, money and effort in developing its proprietary information; (b) Executive will in the course of Executive’s employment develop, be personally entrusted with and exposed to Company’s proprietary information; (c) both during and after the term of Executive’s employment, Company will be engaged in the highly competitive portable storage solution industry; (d) Company provides products and services nationally and internationally; and (e) Company will suffer great loss and irreparable harm if Executive were to enter into competition with Company. Therefore, in exchange for the consideration described in Section 12.1 above, Executive agrees that for the period of twenty-four (24) months following the date Executive ceases to render services to Company (the “Covenant Period”), Executive will not either directly or indirectly, whether as an owner, director, officer, manager, consultant, agent or employee: (i) work for a competitor of Company, which is defined to include those entities or persons in the following business segments: rental and sale of containers, security offices, mobile offices or other portable space solutions, or modular classrooms or any other business that has been undertaken, or with respect to which substantial steps towards its undertaking have been implemented, by the Company prior to the Termination Date utilizing the Company’s products (the “Restricted Business”) or (ii) make or hold during the Covenant Period any investment in any Restricted Business, whether such investment be by way of loan, purchase of stock or otherwise, provided that there shall be excluded from the foregoing the ownership of not more than 1% of the listed or traded stock of any publicly held corporation. For purposes of this Section 12, the term “Company” shall mean and include Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of Company, any successor to the business of Company (by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or stock or otherwise) and any other corporation or entity of which Executive may serve as a director, officer or employee at the request of Company or any successor of Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12.2 shall not be effective on and after a Change in Control unless Executive confirms in writing to the Company on or after such Change in Control that he agrees to be bound by this Section 12.2 following a Change in Control. In the absence of such written confirmation to the Company, this Section 12.2 shall be of no effect and Executive shall not be entitled to the severance benefits under Section 8.2(a) upon an Involuntary Termination following a Change in Control and shall not be entitled to the equity acceleration set forth in Section 9.

12.3 Reasonableness of Restrictions. Executive represents and agrees that the restrictions on competition, as to time, geographic area, and scope of activity, required by this Section 12 are reasonable, do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and business interests of Company, and are not unduly burdensome to Executive. Executive expressly acknowledges that Company competes on an international basis and that the geographical scope of these limitations is reasonable and necessary for the protection of Company’s trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information. Executive further agrees that these restrictions allow Executive an adequate number and variety of employment alternatives, based on Executive’s varied skills and abilities. Executive represents that Executive is willing and able to obtain other employment not prohibited by this Agreement.

12.4 Reformation if Necessary. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the geographic area, duration, or scope of activity of any restriction under this Section 12 and its subsections is unenforceable, the restrictions under this Section and its subsections shall not be terminated but shall be reformed and modified to the extent required to render them valid and enforceable. Executive further agrees that the court may reform this Agreement to extend the Covenant Period by an amount of time equal to any period in which Executive is in breach of this covenant.

19. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The parties intend that this Agreement (and all payments and other benefits provided under this Agreement) be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and ruling issued thereunder (collectively “Section 409A”), to the maximum extent possible, whether pursuant to the short-term deferral exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), the involuntary separation pay plan exception described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), or otherwise. To the extent Section 409A is applicable to such payments, the parties intend that this Agreement (and such payments and benefits) comply with the deferral, payout and other limitations and restrictions imposed under Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with such intentions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary:

Furthermore, to the extent that Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A (determined using the identification methodology selected by Company from time to time, or if none, the default methodology) as of the date of Executive’s separation from service, no amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation which is payable on account of Executive’s separation from service shall paid to Executive before the date (the “Delayed Payment Date”) which is first day of the seventh month after the date of Executive’s separation from service or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death following such separation from service. All such amounts that would, but for this Section, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date will be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date.

19.2 Each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

19.3 With regard to any provision in this Agreement that provides for reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits, except for any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement that does not constitute a “deferral of compensation,” within the meaning of Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be deemed to be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect, and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense occurred.

19.4 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of Executive’s execution of the Release, directly or indirectly, result in Executive designating the calendar year of payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution of the Release could be made in more than one taxable year of the Executive, payment shall be made in the Executive’s later taxable year.

19.5 Company intends that income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will not be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code. However, Company does not guarantee any particular tax effect for income provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement.

20. General Provisions.

Company shall not be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations.

20.2 No Duty to Mitigate. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit contemplated by this Agreement by seeking employment with a new employer or otherwise, nor shall any such payment or benefit be reduced by any compensation or benefits that Executive may receive from employment by another employer.

20.3 Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and by an authorized officer of Company (other than Executive). No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time.

20.4 Attorneys’ Fees. In any dispute relating to this Agreement, either party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees.

20.5 Tax Withholding. All payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to withholding of applicable taxes.

If a deemed modification is not satisfactory in the judgment of such arbitrator or court, the unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, no right or interest of Executive under this Agreement shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including, without limitation, by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in any other manner, and no attempted transfer or assignment thereof shall be effective. No right or interest of Executive under this Agreement shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of Executive.

20.9 Further Assurances. From time to time, at Company’s request and without further consideration, Executive shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as reasonably requested by Company to be necessary or desirable to make effective, in the most expeditious manner possible, the terms of this Agreement and the Release, and to provide adequate assurance of Executive’s due performance thereunder.

20.10 Interpretation; Construction. The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement.
