Death

If an executive officer dies during the term of the agreement, the executive’s estate is entitled to receive the following:

 

   

Mr. McClendon. Continuation of base salary and accounting support for twelve months after the date of death. In addition, any unvested equity compensation will vest immediately upon death.

 

   

Other Named Executive Officers. Continuation of base salary for twelve months after the date of death. In addition, any unvested equity compensation will vest immediately upon death.

The executive officers’ employment agreements also provide for a six-month non-competition period after termination of employment and prohibit disclosure of confidential information for a three-year period (or, with respect to Mr. McClendon, a six-month period) following the termination of the agreement. However, in accordance with Mr. McClendon’s employment agreement, compensation due to Mr. McClendon as a result of a termination without cause or his incapacity would be paid out over the then remaining term of his employment agreement, which extends his agreement not to compete with the Company through the term of such payment, plus six months. In addition, the agreements with our executive officers contain non-solicitation restrictions with respect to employees, contractors, customers, vendors and subcontractors.
