Good Reason. (i) a material diminution of Executive's responsibilities or duties (provided, however, that the acquisition of the Company and subsequent conversion of the Company to a division or unit of the acquiring company will not by itself be deemed to be a diminution of Executive's responsibilities or duties), (ii) a relocation of Executive's principal place of employment by more than 60 miles from its location at the Effective Date of this Agreement, unless consented to by Executive, (iii) a material... reduction in the benefits and perquisites to Executive from those being provided as of the date immediately preceding the Change of Control, unless consented to by Executive, (iv) any material failure by the Company to pay or provide the compensation and benefits under the Temporary Employment Terms Offer Letter dated January 1, 2012, except any such circumstance which is part of a general reduction or other concessionary arrangement affecting all employees or affecting senior executive officers, or (v) failure of a Successor in a Change in Control to assume this Agreement. In each such event listed in (i) through (v) above, Executive shall give the Company notice thereof by no later than ninety (90) days after the initial occurrence of the event or condition allegedly constituting Good Reason which shall specify in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Good Reason. There shall be no Good Reason with respect to any such event or condition cured by the Company within thirty (30) days after such notice. If the Company fails to cure such event or condition within this thirty- (30-) day period, Executive must terminate employment under this provision within ninety (90) days after the cure period has expired (and thereafter Executive may no longer terminate his employment for a Good Reason based upon the event or condition that was not cured).

This definition is intended to constitute a "substantial risk of forfeiture" as defined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(d). References to the Company in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any affiliate of the Company, or the acquiring, surviving or successor entity in a Change in Control (as defined below) or their affiliates (collectively, "Successor"), as applicable.
