or a resignation for good reason, continuation of his base salary, at the rate then in effect, for a period of six months, payable in accordance with the Companys customary payroll practices and procedures, subject to a customary release

with applicable laws or governmental regulations with respect to Company operations or the performance of his duties; provided however that no act or failure to act, on the part of Mr. Davis, shall constitute cause unless it is
done, or omitted to be done, by Mr. Davis in bad faith or without Mr. Daviss reasonable belief that his action or omission was (i) in the best interest of the Company, (ii) necessary to preserve the Companys or
Mr. Daviss own reputation and/or (iii) required to comply with applicable laws, rule or regulations; and
good
reason means that Mr. Davis has complied with the appropriate notice procedures following the occurrence of any of the following without the executives prior written consent: (i) a reduction in Mr. Daviss base
salary; (ii) a material diminution in Mr. Daviss position (other than temporarily due to illness or injury or as required by applicable law); (iii) a material
