If the Retention Bonus is payable to Executive by operation of clause (a) in the preceding sentence the Retention Bonus shall be paid in cash and if payable by operation of clause (b) in the preceding sentence the Retention Bonus shall be paid to Executive in whole shares of Company Common Stock, calculated by dividing the Retention Amount by the closing price of a share of Company Common Stock on the relevant stock exchange upon which the Company Common Stock is traded as of the payment date or, if the Company Common Stock is not traded on an exchange as of such date, the fair market value of a share of Company Common Stock as determined by the Board, in each case rounded down to the nearest whole share. The Retention Bonus will be subject to applicable withholdings and taxes, which shall be remitted to the Company by Executive. |

Contingent Bonus.

Post-Separation Benefits. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, if a Change in Control occurs within six (6) months following the termination of Executive by the Company Without Cause or the resignation of the Executive for Good Reason (as each term is defined in the Executive’s employment agreement dated __________), Executive shall be entitled to receive Executive’s Retention Bonus and Contingent Bonus if the criteria for such bonuses are satisfied, notwithstanding the fact that Executive is not employed by the Company on the date of payment. |
|
5. |
Definitions. For purposes herein, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control will not be deemed to occur hereunder unless such transaction qualifies as a change of control event under 26 C.F.R. 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v) or (vii). |
