the event that such employees are subject to qualifying employment terminations and additional benefits if such qualifying employment termination occurs in connection with a Change in Control. This Plan shall supersede any severance benefit plan,

any successor or similar plan adopted by the Company (the &#147;<B><I>Equity Incentive Plan</I></B>&#148;) is more favorable to an employee than the corresponding provision or the absence of such corresponding provision in the Plan, then such more
favorable provision in the Equity Incentive Plan shall govern, but the remainder of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect. As applicable, this Plan shall constitute an amendment to an employee&#146;s stock option agreement or other
