In addition, we entered into agreements (each an “Agreement”) on March 13, 2006 with each of Messrs. Nelson, Kathman and Ward (each an “Executive”). Each Agreement provides that in the event that within six months of a “change in control” (as defined therein) either Executive’s employment with us is terminated without cause (as defined therein) or Executive terminates his employment with us due to a significant diminution in his job responsibilities or title or his required relocation outside of the Tampa, Florida market, (subject to his execution of a general release of claims and compliance with the confidential information, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained in the Agreement), he will be entitled to severance equal to nine months’ base salary, provided, however that Mr. Nelson shall be entitled to one year’s base salary, and Executive’s unvested stock options will vest immediately. We will also be obligated to pay Executive’s and his eligible dependents’ COBRA continuation coverage premiums for the nine month period following the date of termination, provided, however, that the period shall be one year in the case of Mr. Nelson, or, if earlier, until Executive’s dependents cease to be eligible for such coverage or until Executive commences employment with another entity or person.
