3. | “Good Reason” is defined as per the Employment Agreement. |
4. | “Change of Control” of the Company is defined as: |
(i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities;
(ii) any sale, assignment, consolidation, merger, reorganization, assignment, disposition or other business corporation by the Company of all or a substantial portion of all of the Company’s assets or of any right to all or a substantial portion of the revenues or income;
(iii) any merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other business combination of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) at least 50.1% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation by way of a negotiated purchase, lease, license, exchange, joint venture, tender offer, exchange offer or other means; or
