NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Executive hereby agree that the Employment Agreement shall be amended as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a termination of the Executive’s employment either (a) by the Company without Cause or (b) by the Executive for Good Reason, the Company will pay to the Executive any then unpaid Retention Bonus within ten (10) days of such termination. For the purposes of this Section 3(i), “Good Reason” means: (i) a material diminution in Executive’s Base Salary or (ii) a failure by the Company to pay to the Executive any amounts due hereunder, including any Incremental Portion or Variable Component, within thirty (30) days of the date such amount is due to be paid hereunder, that in the case of any Good Reason event is not cured by the Company within thirty (30) days of written notice specifying the occurrence such Good Reason event, which notice shall be given by Executive to the Company within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the Good Reason event. In the event of any nonpayment by the Company of a Retention Bonus when due, the Company shall promptly upon demand reimburse the Executive for his legal costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred in seeking the payment of such amount.

 

For purposes of this Section 3(i), “Merger Agreement” means that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among Vertical Bridge Acquisitions, LLC, Vertical Steel Merger Sub Inc., and the Company, dated as of March 20, 2015, as amended March 26, 2015.”

 

2. This Amendment shall supersede that certain Amendment No. 2 to the Employment Agreement dated as of March 20, 2015 (the “Amendment No. 2”), which Amendment No. 2 shall terminate effective immediately (without payment of consideration therefor). In all other respects, the Employment Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed.

 

3. Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment to the contrary, except as set forth in Section 2 hereof, this Amendment shall be subject to, and effective upon, consummation of the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among Vertical Bridge Acquisitions, LLC, Vertical Steel Merger Sub Inc., and the Company, dated as of March 20, 2015, as amended March 26, 2015 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”).
