(b)                                 Termination Without Cause.  In the event Iradimed terminates Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason other than Cause, such termination shall be deemed “Without Cause.”

 

8.                                      Termination By Executive.

 

(a)                                 Termination for Good Reason.  Executive may terminate his employment hereunder by tendering his resignation to Iradimed.  Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Executive, a resignation by Executive shall be for “Good Reason,” where such resignation is tendered within sixty (60) days following: (a) a reduction in Executive’s minimum salary; (b) a significant diminution of Executive’s authority; or (c) the relocation of Executive’s place of employment outside of a fifty (50) mile radius from its present location.  For purposes of this Agreement, significant diminution of authority is recognized as notification to Executive of a change in status, position, responsibilities, or any adverse change to compensation which is not broadly applied to management in the Company, which, in Executive’s reasonable judgment, represents a material adverse change from his status, position or responsibility.  Prior to accepting Executive’s resignation for any of the reasons set forth in this paragraph, the Company shall have an opportunity to rectify the matter that gave rise to Executive’s resignation. If the matter is not rectified within fifteen (15) days, Executive’s resignation shall be deemed accepted by the Company.

(i)                                     an assignment to Executive of any duties inconsistent with, or a significant change in the nature or scope of Executive’s authority or duties from, those held by Executive immediately prior to the Control Transaction;

 

(ii)                                  a reduction in Executive’s annual salary or bonus program in effect immediately prior to the Control Transaction;

 

(iii)                               the relocation of Executive’s place of employment outside of a fifty (50) mile radius from its present location;

 

(iv)                              the failure to provide Executive with a number of paid personal leave days at least equal to the number of paid personal leave days to which he was entitled in the last full calendar year prior to the Control Transaction;

(v)                                 the failure to provide Executive with substantially the same fringe benefits that were provided to Executive immediately prior to the Control Transaction, or with a package of fringe benefits that, though one or more of such benefits may vary from those in effect immediately prior to the Control Transaction, is, in Executive’s opinion, substantially at least as beneficial to Executive in all material respects to such fringe benefits taken as a whole;

 

(vi)                              the failure to obtain the express written assumption of and agreement to perform the obligations in this Agreement by any successor.

 

(c)                                  Control Transaction.  In this Agreement, a “Control Transaction” means a change in control of the Company defined as a transfer of ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s stock.

 

9.                                      Disability.  If, during the term of this Agreement, Executive becomes disabled such that he is not able to effectively discharge his duties under this Agreement, with or without reasonable accommodation, for a period of six (6) continuous months, Iradimed’s obligations under this Agreement shall cease, except that Executive may participate in any Iradimed-provided group disability benefits in accordance with the terms of those plans.
