In addition, in the event the Board terminates his employment without "cause" or he resigns for "good reason" or due to death or disability (as such terms are defined in the employment agreement), any unvested Bonus RSUs and Sign-On RSUs will become fully vested on the date of such termination.

the Board terminates Mr. Menneto's employment without "cause" or he resigns for "good reason" within 24 months following a "change in control" (as such terms are defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Menneto's unvested equity awards subject to time-based vesting will become fully vested and payable and his unvested equity awards subject to performance-based vesting will become vested and payable at target performance, in each case as of the termination date. In the event of a "qualified retirement" (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Menneto's unvested equity awards subject to time-based vesting will become fully vested and payable and his unvested equity awards subject to performance-based vesting will vest based on actual performance at the end of each applicable performance period as if Mr. Menneto had remained actively employed by the Company through such date.

a confidentiality clause, post-termination non-competition clause, a post-termination non-solicitation clause, and a non-disparagement clause.
