The Employment Agreement also provides that in the event that Q2 terminates Mr. Price’s employment for any reason, other than for "Cause," or if Mr. Price resigns for "Good Reason" (as defined in the Employment Agreement), in either case during the period of time extending from 60 days prior to and 24 months following the closing of any Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Price would be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) Q2 will be obligated to pay him in one lump sum an amount equal to the sum of (a) 250% of his then-current annual base salary and (b) a pro-rata amount of the greater of his then-current annual cash incentive bonus for the fiscal year of his termination, (x) at target, or (y) based upon attainment of applicable performance goals through the date of determination, in either case pro-rated for his number of days of employment in such year; (ii) immediate acceleration of the vesting of any equity awards subject to time-based vesting; (iii) continued eligibility to vest in any then-outstanding performance based equity awards for the remainder of their applicable terms; and, (iv) payment by Q2 of the monthly amount of COBRA continuation coverage for up to 30 months, subject to his continued eligibility for COBRA coverage.
