. In the event (i) Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or (ii) Employee voluntarily terminates her employment for any reason other than (y) for Good Reason, or (z) within 10 days following Notice of Non-Renewal by the Company, the Company shall have no further obligations to Employee except to pay Employee accrued but unpaid Base Salary through Employee’s termination date and any expense reimbursements owed to Employee through the date of termination. As used in this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean (1) the willful and continued failure by Employee to substantially perform Employee’s duties hereunder (other than any such willful or continued failure resulting from Employee’s incapacity due to Employee’s Disability (defined below)), (2) repeated substandard work performance or repeated unreliability that has not been cured to the Company’s satisfaction after notice of the same as has been provided to Employee, (3) serious workplace misconduct, (4) Employee’s engagement in misconduct that Employee knows or should know reasonably could be injurious to any of the Key Companies, monetarily or otherwise (including injurious to the reputation of such Company), (5) Employee’s conviction of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction or a plea of no contest to a felony charge, (6) fraud or other material dishonesty against any of the Key Companies, (7) the breach of any of the provisions hereof, or (8) the violation by Employee of any of the Key Companies’ policies, rules or guidelines as in effect from time to time, including without limitation, the Code of Business Conduct, securities trading policy or anti-trust policy.
|
(b)

th
) day following Employee’s termination, (y) continued coverage for Employee and her dependents under the Company’s medical and dental benefit plans for 12 months at a cost to Employee equal to the cost of such coverage for similarly-situated employees of the Company, which continued coverage shall immediately end upon obtainment of new employment and coverage under a similar welfare benefit plan (with the obligation to promptly report such new coverage to the Company) and (z) accelerated vesting and immediate exercisability of all outstanding equity awards previously granted to Employee, with the vesting of equity awards that are based in whole or in part on performance being determined by the Board (or a committee thereof).

|
(d)
|

|
(e)
|
Special Rules Pertaining to Termination
.
For purposes of this Agreement, Employee’s employment will not be considered to have terminated unless, as a result of a termination, Employee has had a “
separation from service
” (as that term is defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)) with the “
Key Energy Controlled Group
.” The term “
Key Energy Controlled Group
” means the group of corporations and trades or businesses (whether or not incorporated) composed of the Company and every entity or other person which together with the Company constitutes a single “
service recipient
” (as that term is defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(g)) as the result of the application of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h)(3).
|

|
(b)
|
Confidential Information Defined.
“
Confidential Information
” refers to any item of information, or a compilation of information, in any form (tangible or intangible), related to the Key Companies’ business that the Key Companies have not made public or authorized public disclosure of, and that is not generally known to the public or to other persons who might obtain value or competitive advantage from its disclosure or use. Confidential Information will not lose its protected status under this Agreement if it becomes generally known to the public or to other persons through improper means such as the unauthorized use or disclosure of the information by Employee or another person. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, personnel information (including information relating to any and all aspects of compensation of any and all employees of the Key Companies), ideas, discoveries, designs, inventions, improvements, trade secrets, engineering data, proprietary data, intellectual property, customer data, technology, know-how, manufacturing processes, design specifications, writings and other works of authorship, computer programs, financial information, accounting information, organizational structure, Key Companies’ expenditures, marketing plans, customer lists and data, business plans or methods and the like, that relate in any manner to the actual or anticipated business of the Key Companies, as well as any and all information regarding the Key Companies other than information disclosed in public filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Confidential Information shall not include information that is publicly available, unless such information became publicly available by reason of a breach of this Agreement by Employee.
|
(c)
|
Steps to Protect Information.
At all times, Employee agrees to use all reasonable and available methods to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information. Depending upon the circumstances, available methods may include but are not limited to: marking information “
Confidential
,” sharing information with authorized persons only on a need-to-know basis, maintaining the integrity of password protected computer systems, and otherwise storing information in a manner that prevents unauthorized access. Employee shall maintain at her work station and/or any other place under her control only such Confidential Information as she has a current “
need to know
” in the furtherance of the Key Companies’ business. Employee shall return to the appropriate person or location or otherwise properly dispose of Confidential Information once that need to know no longer exists. Employee shall not make copies of or otherwise reproduce Confidential Information unless there is a legitimate business need of the Key Companies for reproduction. Employee shall not store electronic data of the Key Companies, including but not limited to Confidential Information, on any electronic storage device that is not owned by the Company without prior consent of the Company. If Employee does store electronic data on an electronic storage device that is not owned by the Company, with or without consent of the Company, Employee hereby agrees to surrender within three (3) business days following demand by the Company any and all such electronic storage devices to the Company for inspection, data retrieval, and data removal.
|
(d)
|
Return of Confidential Information.
Employee agrees that all Confidential Information received by Employee during Employee’s employment with the Company is, and shall be, the property of the Company exclusively. Employee agrees to immediately return to the Company (or, with the Company’s permission, destroy) all of the material mentioned above,
|
(e)
|
Third Party Information.
Employee acknowledges that the Company may receive from third parties their confidential information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Employee agrees that she owes the Company and such third parties, during the period of employment and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose or use it, except as necessary to perform her obligations hereunder and as is consistent with the Company’s agreements with such third parties.
|
(f)
|
Permitted Disclosure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this Agreement:
|
(a)
|
Interpretation of Agreement.
To the fullest extent possible, the terms of this Agreement shall be construed and administered so that no amount is includable in Employee’s gross income under Section 409A of the Code, and those sections of the Agreement relating to timing of payments shall be effective as of the Commencement Date (as defined in the Prior Agreement).
|
(b)
|
Payment Schedule.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, if the payment of any amount under this Agreement would cause an amount to be included in Employee’s gross income under Section 409A of the Code because the timing of such payment is not delayed as provided in Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code, then any such payments that Employee would otherwise be entitled to during the first six months following the date of Employee’s separation from service shall be accumulated and paid on the date that is six months after the date of Employee’s termination of employment (or if such payment date does not fall on a business day of the Company, the next following business day of the Company), or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid without causing any amount to be included in Employee’s gross income under Section 409A of the Code.
|
(a)
|
Except as provided below, the consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction or event (a “Business Combination”) involving the Company, unless immediately following such Business Combination: (i) the holders of the Company’s voting securities immediately prior to the Business Combination hold at least 50% of the total voting power of (y) the entity resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Entity”) or (z) if applicable, the parent company that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of at least 95% of the voting power, and (ii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the parent (or, if there is no parent, the Surviving Entity) following the consummation of the Business Combination were incumbent directors of the Board at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination;
|
(b)
|
the consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (other than to Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC or any of its controlled affiliates (collectively, “Platinum”)); or
|
(c)
|
the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete dissolution or liquidation of the Company.
|
(d)
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, a Business Combination immediately following which Platinum holds at least 50% of the total voting power of the Surviving Entity shall not be deemed a Change of Control. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no sale or other transfer of Company securities by Platinum in one or a series of related transactions, and no change in the composition of the Board as a result of any such transaction or series of related transactions, shall be deemed a Change of Control. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change of Control” shall not include any Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding (a “Bankruptcy Plan”); and provided, further, none of (a) the facts or circumstances giving rise to the commencement of, or occurring in connection with, any case filed for the Company or its debtor affiliates under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code, (b) the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company reorganized pursuant to a Bankruptcy Plan, or (c) implementation or consummation of any other transaction pursuant to a Bankruptcy Plan shall constitute a “Change of Control.”
