INTRODUCTION
DellaCamera Capital Master Fund, Ltd. (DellaCamera Master Fund and, collectively with the other participants in this solicitation, we or us), is furnishing this Consent Solicitation Statement (the Consent Statement) in connection with our solicitation of written consents from the holders of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the Common Stock), of Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Enzon or the Corporation), a Delaware corporation with principal executive offices at 685 Route 202/206, Bridgewater, New Jersey 08807, to take the following actions without a stockholders meeting in accordance with Delaware law:
(1) To amend Article V, Section 5.2 of the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Corporation, as amended from time to time (the By-laws) to permit the Enzon stockholders to remove the Corporations Chief Executive Officer and/or President from such office(s) and any other officers positions he or she holds by the approval of the holders of a majority of all shares of Common Stock of the Corporation then outstanding (Proposal 1);
(2) Upon the effectiveness of Proposal 1, to remove Jeffrey H. Buchalter as Chief Executive Officer and President and from any and all officers positions he holds with the Corporation (Proposal 2); and
(3) Upon the effectiveness of Proposal 1, to amend Article XIII of the By-laws of the Corporation to require the unanimous vote of all directors in order for the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the Board) to amend Section 5.2 of the By-laws or to amend this amendment to Article XIII (Proposal 3 and with Proposal 1 and Proposal 2, collectively, the Proposals).
Proposals 1, 2 and 3 each will be effective without further action when we deliver to the Corporation written consents from the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock approving each Proposal.
Proposals 2 and 3 are conditioned upon the approval by the Stockholders of the Corporation of Proposal 1.
WE ARE MAKING THIS CONSENT SOLICITATION ON OUR OWN BEHALF AND NOT BY OR ON BEHALF OF ENZON. WE ARE ASKING THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE CORPORATION TO ACT BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO THESE PROPOSALS ON THE ACCOMPANYING BLUE CONSENT CARD.
A consent solicitation is a process that allows a companys stockholders to act by submitting written consents to any proposed stockholder actions in lieu of voting in person or by proxy at an annual or special meeting of stockholders. Whereas at special or annual meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, proposed actions generally only require that a majority of the votes cast at such meeting by the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon vote in favor of a proposal, a written consent solicitation requires the majority vote of all outstanding shares of a company, unless a higher vote is required. A higher vote is not required for the stockholders to pass these Proposals.
This Consent Statement and the enclosed BLUE consent card are first being furnished to certain stockholders of Enzon on or about [____], 2009.
Pursuant to Section 228(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL), for the Proposals to be effective, the Corporation must receive properly completed and duly delivered unrevoked written consents to the Proposals from holders of record as of the close of business on ________, 2009 (the Record Date) of a majority of the shares then outstanding within 60 calendar days of the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation. See VOTING RULES AND PROCEDURES and CONSENT PROCEDURE UNDER DELAWARE LAW.
We urge you to vote in favor of all of the Proposals by signing, dating and returning the enclosed BLUE consent card today. The failure to sign, date and return a consent will have the same effect as voting against the Proposals.
WHY IS YOUR CONSENT TO OUR PROPOSALS IMPORTANT?
We have beneficial ownership of approximately 8.2% of Enzons Common Stock and have long been concerned about Enzons stock price performance and the quality of leadership and corporate governance at Enzon. We believe that a fundamental tenet of stockholder democracy is that management must be accountable to the stockholders, and we believe that management accountability would be greatly enhanced by granting stockholders the right to determine the tenure of Enzons Chief Executive Officer and President. Furthermore, we believe that Section 142 of the DGCL permits this right to be granted to stockholders, provided that such right is set forth in the Corporations By-laws. Upon approval of our Proposals and amending Enzons By-laws accordingly, we expect the existence of that direct stockholder right will focus the Corporations next Chief Executive Officer and President intensely on his or her fiduciary duties and on increasing value for all stockholders.
Although we strongly believe that the adoption of the Proposals will serve to increase stockholder value, we can give no assurances that approval of the Proposals will produce that intended result. Nor can we assure that any successor Chief Executive Officer and President will be more effective at increasing stockholder value or making strategic decisions that will best serve all stockholders.
WE BELIEVE THAT BY CONSENTING TO OUR PROPOSALS THE STOCKHOLDERS WILL HELP BEGIN THE PROCESS OF RETURNING VALUE TO ALL ENZON STOCKHOLDERS, THE CORPORATIONS TRUE OWNERS.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSENT TO ALL OF OUR PROPOSALS
Approval of each of the Proposals requires the affirmative consent of the holders of a majority (i.e., more than 50%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on the Record Date. Although we encourage you to consent to each Proposal, you have the right to consent to some of the Proposals without consenting to all of the Proposals.
YOUR CONSENT IS IMPORTANT!
TO CONSENT TO OUR PROPOSALS, PLEASE PROMPTLY SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED BLUE CONSENT CARD.
PLEASE DO NOT RETURN ANY CONSENT CARD SENT TO YOU BY THE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER PERSON.
If your shares of Common Stock are held in your own name, please sign, DATE and mail or hand-deliver the enclosed BLUE consent card today in the enclosed postage-paid envelope to MacKenzie Partners, Inc., at the address below.
If your shares of Common Stock are held in Street Name, only your bank or broker can execute a consent on your behalf, but only upon receipt of your specific instructions. Please sign, DATE and mail or hand-deliver the enclosed BLUE consent instruction form to your bank or broker today in the postage-paid envelope provided. To ensure that your consent is effective, please contact the persons responsible for your account and instruct them to execute the BLUE consent card on your behalf and make sure to DATE the consent.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR REQUIRE ANY ASSISTANCE IN EXECUTING OR DELIVERING YOUR CONSENT, PLEASE WRITE TO OR CALL:
MacKenzie Partners, Inc.

New York, NY 10016
Phone 800-322-2885
IF YOU DO NOTHING OR ABSTAIN, THE EFFECT WILL BE THE SAME AS A VOTE AGAINST THE PROPOSALS.
IN ORDER TO REMOVE JEFFREY H. BUCHALTER AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRESIDENT OF ENZON, THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF ALL OUTSTANDING SHARES IS NEEDED FOR BOTH PROPOSAL 1 AND PROPOSAL 2.
WE URGE YOU TO CONSENT TO ALL OF OUR PROPOSALS.
YOUR CONSENT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN YOUR CONSENT TODAY.

OUR CONCERNS
Jeffrey Buchalter has presided over a stock price decline of approximately 62% since his tenure with Enzon, and a stock price decline of approximately 56% since he was named as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Corporation. To wit, Enzons stock price was $15.77 per share on September 29, 2004, the day Mr. Buchalter was named as Chairman of the Board and was $13.54 per share on December 22, 2004, the day that Mr. Buchalter was named President and CEO. On April 21, 2009, Enzons stock price was $6.00 per share. During this time, Mr. Buchalter has reaped substantial compensation for himself while stockholders have experienced a significant decline in value as measured by a dramatically lower stock price. As an illustration, according to the Enzon 2009 Proxy Statement, Mr. Buchalter received total compensation of $4,888,784 in 2008 (which includes Mr. Buchalters base salary of $853,271 and an actual cash bonus award of an additional $1,111,500). This was on top of $5,255,493 in total compensation Mr. Buchalter received in 2007 and $3,886,874 in total compensation received by Mr. Buchalter in 2006, which was also disclosed in the Enzon 2009 Proxy Statement. We feel this is far too generous given the significant stock price decline that Mr. Buchalter has presided over. Additionally, it is our opinion that Mr. Buchalter has not prudently managed the Corporations Research and Development expenditures, which we believe are far too high and have been spent on risky projects, as the
_________________________
1 The 3,756,504 shares of Common Stock reported as being owned beneficially (and not of record) by DellaCamera Master Fund in this Consent Statement includes 523,560 shares of Common Stock into which 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 held by DellaCamera Master Fund may be convertible.
recent discontinuation of Enzons rhMBL program illustrates. According to the Corporations Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the SEC (the 2008 Form 10-K), Enzon spent $42.9 million, $54.6 million, and $58.1 million on Research and Development expenditures in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and the 2008 Form 10-K notes that the aggregate Research and Development expenditures in 2009 are expected to be in the range of $80 million to $90 million. Furthermore, Mr. Buchalter has presided over a number of failed initiatives in the last year, including the failed sale of the Corporations specialty pharmaceutical division, the aborted spin-off of the Corporations biotechnology assets, and a Dutch tender for the Corporations 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 that in our opinion was woefully under-subscribed. According to the Corporations February 19, 2009 press release detailing Enzons 2008 results, the costs incurred in connection with these failed initiatives were approximately $5.0 million in 2008. Although we believe that the potential intrinsic value of Enzon is far in excess of the Corporations current stock price, we have lost all faith in Mr. Buchalters ability to realize that potential. Therefore, we believe the time has come for the stockholders to remove him as an officer of the Corporation.
HOW WE BELIEVE THE APPROVAL OF OUR PROPOSALS AND THE REMOVAL OF JEFFREY H. BUCHALTER AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRESIDENT OF ENZON WILL ADDRESS OUR CONCERNS
By amending the By-laws to allow for stockholder removal of Enzons Chief Executive Officer and President from all of his or her officers positions, the stockholders, who are the true owners of the Corporation, would be given a direct voice in holding Enzons Chief Executive Officer and/or President accountable. By subsequently voting to remove Jeffrey Buchalter, stockholders would be able to pave the way for a new President and Chief Executive Officer who would be more committed to increasing stockholder value. We would therefore call upon the Board, subsequent to Mr. Buchalters removal, to replace him with an officer more committed and capable of delivering greater value to Enzons stockholders, who we believe have a strong desire to see expeditious and demonstrable improvement.
OUR PROPOSALS
PROPOSAL 1: Stockholder Authority to Remove the Corporations Chief Executive Officer and/or President.
This proposal is brought pursuant to (i) Article XIII of the By-laws which provides that the By-laws of the Corporation may be amended by the stockholders of the Corporation, (ii) Section 109 of the DGCL, which authorizes the stockholders of a corporation to amend its by-laws, (iii) Section 142 of the DGCL, which provides that officers of a corporation may be chosen as prescribed by such corporations by-laws and (iv) Section 216 of the DGCL, which provides that the vote required for stockholders to approve specific actions may be set forth in such corporations by-laws.
Proposal 1 is designed to amend the By-laws to permit the Enzon stockholders to remove the Corporations Chief Executive Officer and/or President by the approval of the holders of a majority of all shares of the Corporation then outstanding. By amending the By-laws to allow for stockholder removal of certain executive officers, the stockholders, who are the true owners of the Corporation, would be given a direct voice in holding Enzons Chief Executive Officer and/or President accountable. Proposal 1 reads as follows:
Resolved, that the stockholders of the Corporation do hereby amend Article V, Section 5.2 of the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Corporation by deleting such section in its entirety, and replacing it as follows (text to be added to the existing text of the By-laws hereby is underscored herein):
Section 5.2 Removal of Officers
Any officers elected or appointed by the Board may be removed by the Board with or without cause. Any officer holding the office of Chief Executive Officer and/or President may be removed by the Stockholders from such office(s) and any other officers positions he or she holds with or without cause by the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the Corporations issued and outstanding shares of stock then entitled to vote. The election or appointment of an officer shall not of itself create any contract rights.
Old By-law Section 5.2 read:
Any officers elected or appointed by the Board may be removed by the Board with or without cause. The removal of an officer without cause shall be without prejudice to his contract rights, if any. The election or appointment of an officer shall not of itself create contract rights.
Reasons for Proposal 1. Currently, the By-laws do not provide stockholders with the authority to remove officers of the Corporation. If you believe, as we do, that management accountability would be strengthened by providing the stockholders with the authority to determine the tenure of the Corporations Chief Executive Officer and/or President, then we urge you to support this proposal. We believe that this Proposal 1 would increase managements accountability to stockholders, and, in turn, improve the quality of the Corporations corporate governance. The Corporations Chief Executive Officer and/or President from time-to-time may also hold other officer positions with the Corporation. The proposed amendment to Section 5.2 of the By-laws provides any person who is Chief Executive Officer and/or President and who is removed from such offices by the stockholders may also be removed from any other officer positions such person may hold. The proposed amendment to Section 5.2 of the By-laws does not permit removal of any person from the Corporations Board or from any non-officer position with the Corporation.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSENT TO THIS PROPOSAL 1 TO GIVE STOCKHOLDERS THE AUTHORITY TO REMOVE THE CORPORATIONS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND/OR PRESIDENT.
PROPOSAL 2: Removal of Jeffrey H. Buchalter as Officer.
Proposal 2 is designed to remove Jeffrey H. Buchalter as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Corporation, and from any other officers positions. Proposal 2 reads as follows:
Resolved, that Jeffrey H. Buchalter is hereby removed without cause as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Corporation and from any and all officers positions he holds with the Corporation effective immediately following the effective time of the amendment to Section 5.2 of the Amended and Restated By-laws permitting the removal of the Corporations Chief Executive Officer and/or President.
Reasons for Proposal 2. While the By-laws do not currently provide stockholders with the authority to remove the Corporations Chief Executive Officer and/or President, such authority would be granted upon adoption of Proposal 1 described herein. The By-laws provide that the President of the Corporation shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. This Proposal 2 offers you the opportunity to pave the way for the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer and President of the Corporation. By voting to remove Jeffrey H. Buchalter, stockholders would create a vacancy and allow for the Board to appoint a new Chief Executive Officer and President who may be more committed to increasing stockholder value, though there can be no assurance that any successor Chief Executive Officer and President would in fact be more committed to increasing stockholder value and/or making strategic decisions that would best serve all stockholders than current management. If Proposal 2 is adopted by the stockholders, Jeffrey H. Buchalter will remain a director of the Corporation.
The effectiveness of this Proposal 2 is subject to, and conditioned upon, the effectiveness of Proposal 1.
Note that upon the termination of Mr. Buchalters employment with the Corporation, Mr. Buchalter may be entitled to receive certain severance payments described on Schedule 1 attached hereto, and as more fully described in the Enzon 2009 Proxy Statement. Mr. Buchalters complete amended and restated employment agreement dated April 27, 2007 is also publicly available in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that was filed by Enzon on May 4, 2007, and the amendment to such agreement dated as of February 21, 2008 is publicly available in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed by Enzon with the SEC on February 29, 2008. These documents are publicly available at www.sec.gov.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSENT TO THIS PROPOSAL 2 TO REMOVE JEFFERY H. BUCHALTER AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRESIDENT OF THE CORPORATION, AND FROM ANY OTHER OFFICERS POSITIONS.
PROPOSAL 3: Thresholds for Amending the Right of Stockholders to Remove Certain Officers.
This proposal is brought pursuant to (i) Article XIII of the By-laws which provides that the By-laws of the Corporation may be amended by the stockholders of the Corporation, (ii) Section 109 of the DGCL, which authorizes the stockholders of a company to amend its by-laws and (iii) Section 141(b) of the DGCL, which provides that the vote required for a board of directors to take action may be set forth in such corporations by-laws.
Proposal 3 is designed to prevent any actions by the Corporations Board to undo the By-law amendments contemplated by Proposal 1, without obtaining the affirmative vote of all directors, including any directors independent from management. Proposal 3 reads as follows:
Resolved, that the stockholders of the Corporation hereby amend Article XIII of the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Corporation by adding a new, final sentence to such Article as follows:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these By-laws, Section 5.2 of these By-laws and this sentence may only be altered, amended, supplemented or repealed (x) by the stockholders or (y) by the Board upon a unanimous affirmative vote of all directors on the Board.
Reasons for Proposal 3. We believe that if the stockholders of the Corporation adopt Proposal 1 in order to amend Article V, Section 5.02 of the By-laws, then the Board should not be permitted to amend, revoke or otherwise alter our amendment allowing stockholders to remove the Chief Executive Officer and/or President pursuant to Proposal 1 without the unanimous consent of the Board or the approval of stockholders. The will of Enzons stockholders must be respected.
The effectiveness of this Proposal 3 is subject to, and conditioned upon, the effectiveness of Proposal 1.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSENT TO THIS PROPOSAL 3 TO REQUIRE UNANIMOUS VOTE OF ALL DIRECTORS FOR THE BOARD TO AMEND SECTION 5.2 OF THE BY-LAWS.
It is our view that Proposals 1, 2 and 3 are authorized under Delaware law, in particular under Sections 109, 141(b), 142 and 216 of the DGCL. The Corporation may try to assert that Proposals 1, 2 and 3 are not authorized by Delaware law. However, in our view, Section 142 of the DGCL permits the stockholders to be granted the right to choose the officers of a corporation, provided that such right is set forth in the corporations by-laws.
CONCLUSION
Based on the above, we believe that it is in the best interests of stockholders generally to adopt all the Proposals and start taking steps that we believe will return value to all of Enzons stockholders.
If you believe that stockholders, who are the true owners of the Corporation, should have the opportunity to have a say in the future of Enzon, we urge you to consent to our Proposals by signing, dating and returning your BLUE consent card to us immediately.
YOUR CONSENT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES YOU OWN. PLEASE ACT TODAY.
VOTING RULES AND PROCEDURES
The shares of Common Stock are the only class of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to consent to and authorize the Proposals. Every holder of Common Stock on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held.
Only holders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to consent to the Proposals. If you were a stockholder of record on the Record Date, you will retain your voting rights with respect to voting on the Proposals even if you sell or have sold your Common Stock after the Record Date. Accordingly, it is important that you vote the shares you held on the Record Date, or grant a proxy to vote such shares on the BLUE consent card, even if you sell or have already sold your shares.
The record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent and authorize the Proposals is __________, 2009. Stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote to consent to each Proposal for each share of Common Stock held by them on the Record Date. As set forth in the Enzon 2009 Proxy Statement, as of April 6, 2009, there were 45,292,050 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2009 annual meeting of Enzon stockholders.
Section 213(b) of the DGCL provides that the record date for determining the stockholders of a Delaware corporation entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the corporations board of directors is required and the board has not fixed a record date, will be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by the delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. The above rule has been modified by the Corporations By-laws, which require that any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders of the Corporation authorize or take corporate action by written consent is required to request that the Corporations Board fix a record date to establish those stockholders that are entitled to give their consent. The Corporations Board must promptly, but in all events within 10 days after
the date on which the request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date, which record date must be no more than 10 days after the date of the resolution. If the Board does not fix a record date within 10 days after the receipt of the request, the record date for this consent solicitation will be the first date on which a signed written consent is delivered to the Corporation. The filing of this Consent Statement with the SEC, whether in preliminary or definitive form, shall not be deemed to be a request by us or any other Enzon stockholder for the Board to set a record date for the consent solicitation.
DellaCamera Master Fund made a request on ____________, 2009 that the Board fix a record date for this consent solicitation. [On ____________, 2009, the Board fixed ____________, 2009 as the Record Date for this consent solicitation.] [Because the Board failed to fix a Record Date by____________, 2009, the Record Date will be ____________, 2009, the date on which a signed BLUE consent card was first delivered to the Corporation.]
The Proposals will each be approved upon the affirmative vote of a majority of all shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation then outstanding. Only shares of Common Stock that are voted in favor of a particular proposal will be counted toward such proposals attaining a majority of votes.
An executed consent card may be revoked at any time by marking, dating, signing and delivering a written revocation before the time that the action authorized by the executed consent becomes effective. A revocation may be in any written form validly signed by the record holder as long as it clearly states that the consent previously given is no longer effective. The delivery of a subsequently dated consent card that is properly completed will constitute a revocation of any earlier consent. The revocation may be delivered either to the Corporation or to MacKenzie Partners, Inc., 105 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016. Although a revocation is effective if delivered to the Corporation, we request that either the original or photostatic copies of all revocations of consents be mailed or delivered to MacKenzie Partners, Inc. at the address set forth above, so that we will be aware of all revocations and can more accurately determine if and when consents to the Proposals have been received from the holders of record on the Record Date for this consent solicitation of a majority of the outstanding shares.
CONSENT PROCEDURE UNDER DELAWARE LAW
DGCL Section 228 generally provides that, unless otherwise provided in a corporations certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and those consents are delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a corporations registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Consents must also bear the date of the signature of the stockholder who signs the written consent. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated written consent delivered to the corporation in the manner described above, written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take action are delivered to the corporation in the manner described above.
The Corporations certificate of incorporation does not prohibit, and therefore permits, the Corporations stockholders to act by written consent. In addition, the Corporations By-laws permit Enzons stockholders to act by written consent.
If the Proposals are adopted pursuant to this Consent Statement, prompt notice must be given by the Corporation pursuant to Section 228(e) of the DGCL to stockholders who have not consented in writing to the Proposals.

CERTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION

The terms of Jeffrey H. Buchalters Employment Agreement with Enzon as described in the Enzon 2009 Proxy Statement are as follows:
In December 2004, we entered into an employment agreement with Jeffrey H.

The initial term of the employment agreement will expire no earlier than December 31, 2009 or such date that is twelve months after either party gives notice to the other that such party does not wish for the agreement to continue beyond such date.
The agreement, as amended, provides for a base salary, which is currently $855,000 per year, subject to increase, and that Mr. Buchalter will be eligible to receive an annual performance-based cash bonus in an amount between zero and 200% of his base salary, based on individual and/or corporate factors to be established and determined by the Board of Directors each year as described above under Annual Performance-Based Incentive Compensation. The annual target bonus required by Mr. Buchalters employment agreement is currently equal to 100% of his base salary.
In the event Mr. Buchalters employment is terminated without cause (as defined in Mr. Buchalters employment agreement) or for good reason (as defined in Mr. Buchalters employment agreement), Mr. Buchalter will be entitled to receive: (i) a cash payment equal to any unpaid base salary through the date of termination plus any earned bonus relating to the preceding fiscal year that remains unpaid on the date of termination, (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to four times his annual base salary, and (iii) a pro rata portion of his target bonus for the period worked during the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. In addition, Mr. Buchalter will be entitled to reimbursement for any health benefits and life and disability insurance coverage available to him and his family members for a period of up to four years commencing on the date of termination, all equity awards granted to Mr. Buchalter that have not vested at the time of termination will vest immediately upon termination, and Mr. Buchalter will continue to be entitled to any deferred compensation and any other unpaid amounts and benefits earned and vested prior to or as a result of his termination.
In the event of a change of control (as defined in Mr. Buchalters employment agreement) and the termination of Mr. Buchalters employment without cause or for good reason within the period commencing 90 days before such change of control and ending two years after the change of control, Mr. Buchalter will be entitled to receive: (i) a cash payment equal to any unpaid base salary through the date of termination, (ii) any earned bonus relating to the preceding fiscal year that remains unpaid on the date of termination, (iii) a lump sum cash payment equal to three times the sum of his annual base salary and target annual cash bonus, and (iv) a pro rata portion of his target bonus for the period worked during the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. In addition, Mr. Buchalter will be entitled to reimbursement for any health benefits and life and disability insurance coverage available to him and his family members for a period of up to six years commencing on the date of termination, and Mr. Buchalter will continue to be entitled to any deferred compensation and any other unpaid amounts and benefits earned and vested prior to or as a result of his termination.
