In the event that your employment is

 


 

    terminated without Cause or for Good Reason on or following a Change in Control of the Company, the 2010 Option and the 2010 Restricted Stock shall be treated in the manner described in the preceding sentence (subject to the conditions specified).
Except as set forth herein, the Employment Agreement, the Option Agreement and the Restricted Stock Agreement remain in full force and effect.
