The employment agreement also calls for a lump-sum severance payment in an amount equal to the greater of (a) US$90,000 or (b) 6 months base salary and unused vacation pay, and the vesting of all stock options which would have vested within 18 months of the date of termination, with such options remaining exercisable for one year. Ms. Fung shall not be eligible to receive the severance payment in the event her employment is terminated (1) as a result of her conviction of a felony involving dishonesty, (2) by the Company for good cause, (3) as a result of a material breach of her employment agreement, (4) as a result of her death or disability, or (5) as a result of her own resignation, unless such resignation was a result of a reduction by the Company of Ms. Fung’s base salary to less than US$180,000 per year. If Ms. Fung is terminated without good cause or resigns as a result of a reduction in base salary and such termination or resignation occurs in anticipation of or within two years following a change in control or liquidation of the Company, in addition to a severance package as described above, all stock options held by Ms. Fung shall immediately vest in full and remain exercisable for a period of one year.
