term is defined below) of the CEO, payable on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date on which the CEO concludes his employment because of a Change of Control. TSM will also provide for the continuation of the Fringe

benefit. Such compensation for termination shall be in substitution of, and not in addition to, any compensation to which the CEO is entitled under Articles 14, 15 or 16, but will not substitute his rights to payment of the deferred

plan.

of the Change of Control, in addition to the average of the STDB of the three (3) years prior to said date.

A “Change of Control” will be understood to have occurred if:
|
|
(i) |
any party acquires ownership of TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (25%) or more of the total votes required for the election of the directors of TSM’s Board of Directors, or of such
amount which, based on the cumulative vote, if this were allowed by the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of TSM, would permit such party to elect TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (25%) or more of the directors of TSM;
|
|
(ii) |
as a result of, or in connection with, a tender offer or exchange offer of TSM stock, a consolidation, merger or other business combination, sale of assets or any
combination of the aforementioned transactions, the persons who were directors of the Board prior to such transaction fail to constitute a majority of the board of directors of TSM or its successor;
|
|
(iii) |
there is a change of at least 30% of the directors of TSM’s Board of Directors as a result of a “proxy fight”, as such term is defined in Regulation 14A of the

|
|
(iii) |
a reduction in the CEO’s ability to participate in the compensation plans, such as bonus, stock options, incentives or other compensation plans, in which he
participated on the date immediately preceding the Change of Control, which reduction will be determined in comparison to the opportunities that TSM provides to executives with comparable duties or the opportunities of participation
that the CEO had under said plans on the date immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control;
|
|
(iv) |
a change in the location of the CEO’s principal place of employment of more than twenty-five miles from the place where the CEO maintained his work office on the date
immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control; or
|
|
(v) |
the reasonable determination by the Board to the effect that, because of the Change of Control and a change in the circumstances thereafter affecting the employment
