(ii)

without the Executive’s express written consent, a substantial reduction, without good business reasons, as determined by the Company’s board of directors, of the facilities and perquisites (including office space and location) available to the Executive immediately prior to such reduction;

Resignation upon Termination. The termination of this Agreement for any reason shall also constitute the automatic resignation by Executive from all positions held by Executive as an Executive (but not as a consultant or a director) of the Company and all Affiliates of the Company, including any position as a manager, officer, agent or trustee of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company. Upon the request of the Company, Executive shall deliver to the Company such written confirmation of such resignation as the Company may reasonably request.
