PROXY STATEMENT

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of Wayside Technology Group, Inc. (the “Company”) of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”) to be held at Morgens, Waterfall, Vintiadis & Company, Inc., 600 Fifth Avenue, 27th Floor, New York, New York, on June 5, 2013 at 10:00 AM, local time, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Any stockholder giving such a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by written notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the above-stated address or by giving a later dated proxy. Attendance at the Meeting will not have the effect of revoking the proxy unless such written notice is given, or unless the stockholder votes by ballot at the Meeting.

The approximate date on which this proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy will first be sent or given to the Company’s stockholders is April 22, 2013.

VOTING SECURITIES

Only holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of record at the close of business on April 8, 2013 are entitled to vote at the Meeting. On April 8, 2013 (the “Record Date”), 4,734,358 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding. In addition, on that date, 550,142 shares were held in treasury by the Company and deemed issued but not outstanding. Each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote upon all matters to be acted upon at the Meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of holders of a majority in interest of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Meeting shall constitute a quorum. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy entitled to vote at the Meeting is necessary to elect the nominees for election as Directors. Accordingly, shares not voted in the election of Directors (including shares covered by a proxy as to which authority is withheld to vote for all nominees) and shares not voted for any particular nominee (including shares covered by a proxy as to which authority is withheld to vote for only one or less than all of the identified nominees) will not prevent the election of any of the nominees for Director. To approve the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, approval of an advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation, and to ratify the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2013, and for all other matters, if any, submitted to stockholders at the Meeting, if a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote is required for approval. As a result, abstention votes will have the effect of a vote against such matters. Abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to approval of the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers and approval of the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation, and the ratification of the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2013 are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. Broker non-votes are not counted for any purpose in determining whether a matter has been approved.

If the enclosed proxy is properly executed and returned, the Common Stock represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no instructions are indicated, the Common Stock represented thereby will be voted FOR the election of each of the nominees set forth under the caption “Election of Directors”, FOR the approval of the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, FOR the approval of an annual vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation and FOR the ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and, in the discretion of the persons named in the proxies as proxy appointees, as to any other matter that may properly come before the Meeting.

Your vote is important. Accordingly, you are urged to fill in, sign, date and return the accompanying proxy card whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting. If you do attend, you may vote by ballot at the Meeting, thereby canceling any proxy previously given.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Role of the Board of Directors

In accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. Although our non-employee Directors are not involved in our day-to-day operating details, they are kept informed of our business through written reports and documents provided to them regularly, as well as by operating, financial and other reports presented by our officers at meetings of the Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors.

Board Leadership Structure

Simon F. Nynens is currently the Chairman of our Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer. Our Board believes that this leadership structure provides the most efficient and effective leadership model for our Company by enhancing the ability of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer to provide clear insight and direction of business strategies and plans to both the Board of Directors and management. The Board of Directors believes that it can most effectively perform its monitoring and oversight role by acting as a unified whole, with the Chairman also being a member of the management team, and that the advantages of having a CEO Chairman with extensive knowledge of our company (as compared to a relatively less informed independent Chairman) outweigh potential disadvantages.

Another key component of our leadership structure is our strong governance practices designed to ensure that the Board of Directors effectively carries out its responsibility for the oversight of management. The majority of our directors are independent, and all Board committees are comprised entirely of independent directors. We do not have a lead independent director. Our independent directors meet at each Board meeting in regularly scheduled executive sessions (not less than twice per year) and may schedule additional executive sessions as appropriate. Members of management do not attend these executive sessions. The Board has full access to the management team at all times. In addition, the Board or any committee thereof may retain, on such terms as determined by the Board or such committee, as applicable, in its sole discretion, independent legal, financial and other consultants and advisors to assist the Board or committee, as applicable, in discharging its oversight responsibilities.

Board Oversight of Risk Management

Our Board believes that overseeing how management manages the various risks we face is one of its most important responsibilities to the Company’s stakeholders. The Board believes that, in light of the interrelated nature of the Company’s risks, oversight of risk management is the responsibility of the full Board. In carrying out this critical responsibility, the Board meets at least annually with key members of management with primary responsibility for management of risk in their respective areas of responsibility.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors met six times in 2012. Each of the Directors attended at least 75% of all meetings held by the Board of Directors and meetings of each committee of the Board of Directors on which such Director served during 2012.

Communication with the Board of Directors; Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

Stockholders may communicate with a member or members of the Board of Directors by addressing their correspondence to the Board member or members c/o the Corporate Secretary, Wayside Technology Group, Inc., 1157 Shrewsbury Avenue, Shrewsbury, NJ 07702. Our Corporate Secretary will review the correspondence and forward it to the chair of the appropriate committee or to any individual Director or Directors to whom the communication is directed, unless the communication is unduly hostile, threatening and illegal, does not reasonably relate to Wayside Technology Group, Inc., or our business, or is similarly inappropriate. Our Corporate Secretary has the authority to discard or disregard any inappropriate communications or to take other appropriate actions with respect to any such inappropriate communications.

Recognizing that Director attendance at our annual meetings can provide our stockholders with a valuable opportunity to communicate with Board members about issues affecting our Company, we encourage our Directors to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. All Board members attended last year’s annual stockholders’ meeting.

Under its charter, the Compensation Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees or, to the extent permitted under applicable laws, regulations and NASDAQ rules, to any other independent director, in each case to the extent the Compensation Committee deems necessary or appropriate. The Compensation Committee has the right to consult with or obtain input from management but, except as expressly provided in its charter, may not delegate any of its responsibilities to management. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Meyercord (Chairman) and Morgens, each of whom is independent as defined by the NASDAQ listing standards. The Compensation Committee met two times during 2012.

The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website at http://www.waysidetechnology.com/content.aspx?name=content_compcharter in the Corporate Governance section. The report of the Compensation Committee is on page 25 of this proxy statement.

Nominating and Governance Committee.  The Board of Directors has a Nominating and Governance Committee which identifies individuals qualified to become Board members and recommends to the Board director nominees for election at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Currently, the members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Messrs. Boyer (Chairman), Faith and Weingarten, each of whom is independent as defined by the NASDAQ listing standards. The Nominating and Governance Committee met once during 2012. The Nominating and Governance Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors.

Director Nominations

The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider recommendations for directorships submitted by our stockholders. Stockholders who wish the Nominating and Governance Committee to consider their recommendations for nominees for the position of Director should submit their recommendations, in accordance with the procedures set forth below, in writing to: Corporate Secretary, Wayside Technology Group, Inc., 1157 Shrewsbury Avenue, Shrewsbury, NJ 07702. In order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy for the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2014, the stockholder’s notice must be received by our Company not less than 120 days or more than 150 days before the first anniversary of the date of this proxy statement.

For nominations, such stockholder’s notice shall set forth as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a Director: (A) the name, age, business address and residential address of such person; (B) the principal occupation or employment of such person; (C) the class and number of shares of stock of our Company that are beneficially owned by such person; (D) any other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Directors or is otherwise required by the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Exchange Act; and (E) the written consent of the nominee to be named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a Director if elected. In addition, as to the stockholder giving the notice, such notice shall state: (A) the name, business address, and residential address, as they appear on our stock transfer books, of the nominating stockholder; (B) a representation that the nominating stockholder is a stockholder of record and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (C) the class and number of shares of stock of our Company beneficially owned by the nominating stockholder; and (D) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the nominating stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the nominating stockholder.

In its assessment of each potential candidate, the Nominating and Governance Committee will review the nominee’s professional ethics, integrity and values, skills, judgment, experience, independence, commitment to representing the long-term interests of the stockholders, understanding of our Company’s or other related industries and such other factors as the Nominating and Governance Committee determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee seeks to identify candidates representing diverse experiences at policy-making levels in business, management, marketing, finance, human resources, communications and in other areas that are relevant to our activities. The Nominating and Governance Committee will also take into account the ability of a Director to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to our Company. After full consideration, the stockholder proponent will be notified of the decision of the Nominating and Governance Committee.

Nominees may also be recommended by Directors, members of management, or, in some cases, by a third party firm. In identifying and considering candidates for nomination to the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers, in addition to the requirements described above and set out in its charter, quality of experience, our needs and the range of knowledge, experience and diversity represented on the Board. Each Director candidate will be evaluated by the Nominating and Governance Committee based on the same criteria and in the same manner, regardless of whether the candidate was recommended by a Company stockholder or by others. The Nominating and Governance Committee will conduct the appropriate and necessary inquiries with respect to the backgrounds and qualifications of all Director nominees. The Nominating and Governance Committee will also review the independence of each candidate and other qualifications of all Director candidates, as well as consider questions of possible conflicts of interest between Director nominees and our Company.

After the nominating and governance committee has completed its review of a nominee’s qualifications and conducted the appropriate inquiries, the Nominating and Governance Committee will make a determination whether to recommend the nominee for approval by the Board of Directors. If the Nominating and Governance Committee decides to recommend the director nominee for nomination by the Board of Directors and such recommendation is accepted by the Board, the form of our proxy solicited will include the name of the director nominee.

1995 Stock Plan.  The purpose of the Company’s 1995 Stock Plan (the “1995 Stock Plan”) was to provide incentives to officers, Directors, employees and consultants of the Company. Under the 1995 Stock Plan, officers and employees of the Company and any present or future subsidiary are provided with opportunities to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to options which may qualify as ISOs, or which do not qualify as ISOs (“Non-Qualified Options” and together with ISOs, “Options”) and, in addition, such persons may be granted awards of stock in the Company (“Awards”) and opportunities to make direct purchases of stock in the Company (“Purchases” and together with Options and Awards, “Stock Rights”). The 1995 Stock Plan contains terms and conditions relating to ISOs necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code ( the “Code”).

The 1995 Stock Plan authorized the grant of Stock Rights to acquire up to 1,137,500 shares of Common Stock. As of April 8, 2013, a total of 310,640 shares of Common Stock are subject to outstanding Options under the 1995 Stock Plan at exercise prices ranging from $2.13 to $12.85 per share. The 1995 Stock Plan expired and terminated on April 21, 2005 (except as to Options outstanding on that date) and no more grants may be made under the 1995 Stock Plan. The 1995 Stock Plan requires that each Option shall expire on the date specified by the Compensation Committee, but not more than ten years from its date of grant in the case of ISOs and ten years and one day in the case of Non-Qualified Options. However, in the case of any ISO granted to an employee or officer owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any present or future subsidiary, the ISO expires no more than five years from its date of grant.

1995 Non-Employee Director Plan.  The purpose of the Company’s 1995 Non-Employee Director Plan (the “1995 Director Plan”) was to promote the interests of the Company by providing an inducement to obtain and retain the services of qualified persons who are not employees or officers of the Company to serve as members of its Board of Directors (“Outside Directors”). The 1995 Director Plan authorized the grant of options for up to 187,500 shares of Common Stock and provided for automatic grants of nonqualified stock options to Outside Directors.

Under the 1995 Director Plan, each then-current Outside Director has received, and each Outside Director who first joined the Board after April 1995 automatically received at that time, options to purchase 18,750 shares of Common Stock. As of April 8, 2013, no shares of Common Stock are subject to outstanding Options under the 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan at exercise prices ranging from $2.13 to $3.85 per share. All options granted to Outside Directors have an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The 1995 Director Plan requires that options granted thereunder will expire on the date which is ten years from the date of grant. Each option granted under the 1995 Director Plan becomes exercisable over a five-year period, and vests in an installment of 20% of the total option grant upon the expiration of one year from the date of the option grant, and thereafter vests in equal quarterly installments of 5%. The 1995 Director Plan expired and was terminated on April 21, 2005 (except as to Options outstanding on that date) and no more grants may be made under the 1995 Director Plan.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The Company’s primary objective is to maximize stockholder value. As a result, the Compensation Committee, the members of which are Mr. F. Duffield Meyercord (Chairman) and Mr. Edwin H. Morgens, strives to ensure that the Company’s executive compensation programs will enable the Company to attract, retain and motivate key people required to execute the Company’s business strategy and lead the Company to achieve its long-term growth and earnings goals. The Compensation Committee believes that the total compensation of executive officers should reflect their leadership abilities, their initiative, the scope of their responsibilities, the success of the Company and the past and expected future contribution of each executive to that success. The Compensation Committee seeks to foster a performance-oriented environment by tying a significant portion of each executive’s cash and equity compensation to the achievement of performance targets that are important to the Company and its stockholders.

Components of Compensation. In recent years, the Company’s executive compensation program has had three elements: base salary, an annual performance bonus plan, and stock-based incentives. In general, the Compensation Committee has set, and the Board has accepted, an annual performance bonus plan with respect to each succeeding fiscal year. However, the Compensation Committee and the Board are under no obligation to do this, and they have the power to consider other approaches to compensation. In March 2013, the Compensation Committee set and the Board accepted a performance bonus plan for 2013 which was developed using the performance metrics approved by stockholder vote under the 2012 Executive Incentive plan (the “Executive Plan”). Cash incentive payments under this performance bonus plan depend upon the Company’s (or any of its specified business unit’s) actual annual performance having met or exceeded thresholds set in that performance bonus plan.

Pursuant to the 2012 Plan, the Company’s executive officers are eligible to receive grants of Stock Units, Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock, Stock Bonuses, and other equity-based awards . Options granted under the 2012 Stock Plan may be either “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code, or nonqualified stock options, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Pursuant to the Executive Plan, the Company’s executive officers are eligible to receive cash incentive payments dependent on the Company (or any of its specified business units) or the executive actually meeting or exceeding, in a specified performance period, pre-established, objectively determinable performance goals. Under the Executive Plan, the Compensation Committee must establish the performance goals and the performance period at a time when the attainment of the applicable performance goals is substantially uncertain (and in no event later than the 90th day of any performance period, or, if earlier, the date prior to the date upon which 25% of the performance period has elapsed). The Compensation Committee established performance goals in accordance with the Executive Incentive Plan for the Company’s 2013 fiscal

14

year on March 6, 2013. Because payments of cash awards under the Executive Plan would be determined by comparing actual performance to the performance goals established by the Compensation Committee, in accordance with criteria provided for in the Executive Plan, it is not possible to predict the amount of future benefits that will be paid under the Executive Plan for any future performance period. However, the maximum award an executive officer could receive under the Executive Plan in any fiscal year of the Company is $1,000,000.

Target total cash compensation for each executive is established primarily based on peer group data. The Compensation Committee included companies in the peer group (PC Connection, Inc., Insight Enterprises, Inc., Arrow Electronics Inc., Ingram Micro, CDW Corporation, Tech Data Corporation, Synnex Corporation, and Avnet, Inc.) that it believes are competitors of the Company for executive talent. A combination of proxy and executive salary survey data were the primary sources used to develop the analysis. The Compensation Committee has not relied on compensation consultants.

Base Salary and Performance Cash Bonus Plan

Total cash compensation for 2012 is divided into a base salary portion and a bonus. Many factors are considered in determining the base salaries for executive officers, including the value that each individual brings to the Company through experience, education and training, comparable positions and comparable responsibilities at similar organizations, the specific needs of the Company, and the individual’s past and expected future contributions to the Company’s success.

The principal targets in the Company’s 2012 performance bonus plan were operating profit as well as segment contribution margin. Segment contribution margin represents segment revenue less the respective segment’s cost of revenues as well as segment direct costs (including such items as payroll costs and payroll related costs, such as profit sharing, incentive awards and insurance) and excluding general and administrative expenses not attributed to a business unit. Specific targets for each executive officer were determined by the Compensation Committee based on a review of the Company’s 2012 budget prepared by management and the factors described above. The targets are set at levels that, upon achievement of 100% of the target performance, are likely to result in bonus payments that the Compensation Committee believes to be comparable to our peer data group. The following table shows, for fiscal year 2012, the potential range of bonus awards and the actual bonus awarded as a percentage of base salary, for each of the Named Executive Officers. Bonuses for Messrs. Nynens and Flaherty are based on consolidated operating income. Bonuses for Mr. Scull was based on performance based objectives. Bonuses for Messrs. Legrottaglie and Bevis are based on consolidated operating income and performance based objectives. Bonuses for Mr. Jamieson are based on consolidated operating income and Lifeboat Distribution segment contribution margin. Bonuses for Mr. Giordano are based on TechXtend segment contribution margin.

Equity Incentive

The Company’s executive officers are eligible to receive equity incentive awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans. The primary goal of the Company is to create long-term value for stockholders, and accordingly the Compensation Committee believes that equity incentive awards provide an additional incentive to executive officers to work towards maximizing stockholder value. The Compensation Committee views equity incentive awards as one of the more important components of the Company’s long-term, performance-based compensation philosophy. The grant of equity incentive awards to executive officers encourages equity ownership in the Company, and closely aligns executive officers’ interests to the interests of the stockholders.

Equity incentive awards are provided through initial grants at or near the date of hire and through subsequent periodic grants. Equity incentive awards granted by the Company to its executive officers and other employees have exercise prices not less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant or award. Equity incentive awards vest and become exercisable at such time as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The initial grant is designed for the level of skills required to fulfill the executive’s responsibilities and is designed to motivate the officer to make the kind of decisions and implement strategies and programs that will contribute to an increase in the Company’s stock price over time. Periodic additional equity incentive awards within the comparable range for the job are granted to reflect the executive’s ongoing contributions to the Company, to create an incentive to remain at the Company and to provide a long-term incentive to achieve or exceed the Company’s financial goals.

In December 2012, under the terms of Mr. Flaherty’s employment agreement, he was awarded 20,000 shares of Restricted Stock, representing an initial grant upon hire. In August of 2012, Mr. Legrottaglie was awarded 8,000 shares of Restricted Stock and Messrs.  Jamieson and Giordano were awarded 6,000 shares of Restricted Stock. All of these Restricted Shares vest over 20 equal quarterly installments.  Mr. Nynens was entitled to a grant of up to 40,000 shares of Restricted Stock based on attainment of operating income goals under the terms of his 2012 bonus plan.  He was granted the 40,000 Restricted Shares in February 2013. These shares will vest over 16 equal quarterly installments.

In February 2010, the Company granted each Named Executive Officer at the time (other than Mr. Nynens) 10,000 shares of Restricted Stock. In addition, the Company granted 50,000 shares of Restricted Stock to Mr. Nynens. All of these Restricted Shares vest over 20 equal quarterly installments.

Compensation of the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

The factors considered by the Compensation Committee in determining the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, in addition to the criteria discussed above, include the Company’s operating and financial performance, as well as the individual’s leadership and establishment and implementation of the strategic direction for the Company. The Compensation Committee considered as part of its subjective evaluation, among other factors, such executive’s reputation and contacts in the business community (including Mr. Nynens’ contacts in the computer software industry), and his extensive knowledge of finance and accounting. The compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in 2012 consisted of a base salary, an automobile allowance, performance bonus and stock awards. The total compensation package was established considering compensation of peer chief executive officers with similar executive responsibilities.

Employment and Severance Agreements

Each of the Named Executive Officers has entered into an agreement that includes a covenant not-to-compete and a confidentiality provision. The covenant not-to-compete prohibits the executive from engaging in a competing business for a period of one year after termination. Such covenant also prohibits the executive from directly or indirectly soliciting the Company’s customers or employees.

On January 9, 2006, the Company appointed Simon Nynens to be its President and Chief Executive Officer and entered into a related employment agreement with Mr. Nynens, dated as of January 12, 2006. The agreement provides for a base salary of $250,000, subject to increase at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, and a bonus, pursuant to a bonus plan adopted by the Board of Directors. Additionally, after approval of the 2006 Plan (defined above), Mr. Nynens was awarded 200,000 shares of Restricted Stock in connection with his appointment, which shares vest in 40 equal quarterly installments. In January 2011, Mr. Nynens salary was increased by $40,000 to provide for a base of $290,000.

In the event that Mr. Nynens’ employment is terminated without cause or by the rendering of a non-renewal notification, he is entitled to receive severance payments equal to twelve months cash compensation, immediate vesting of all outstanding equity awards, and to purchase the car used by him at the “buy-out” price of any lease or fair market value, as applicable. Additionally, in the event that a change of control of the Company occurs (as described below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control”), Mr. Nynens’ outstanding equity awards become immediately vested and he is entitled to receive a lump-sum payment equal to 2.9 times his then annual salary and actual incentive bonus earned in the year prior to such change in control.

On January 6, 2003, the Company entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Legrottaglie, Vice President of Operations and Information Systems, under which Mr. Legrottaglie is entitled to severance payments for six months at the then applicable annual base salary if the Company terminates his employment for any reason other than for cause.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The Company has entered into certain agreements and maintains certain plans that require the Company to provide compensation to the Named Executive Officers in the event of a termination of employment or a change in control of the Company. The amount of compensation to each Named Executive Officer in each situation is listed in the tables below. The amounts shown assume that such termination or change of control was effective on December 31, 2012 and that the Company’s stock was $11.09 per share, which was the closing price of the shares on December 31, 2012.

The following table illustrates the payments that would be due to the Named Executive Officers in the event of a change of control of the Company. For purposes hereof, a “change of control” shall be deemed to have occurred in the event of any of the following: (i) any person or entity makes a tender or exchange offer for shares of the Common Stock pursuant to which such person or entity acquires a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock, (ii) the Company merges or consolidates with or into another corporation or corporations, unless immediately after such merger or consolidation those persons and entities who immediately prior to such transaction were stockholders of the Company are entitled to vote in the election of directors, or otherwise have the right to elect, a majority of the directors of the surviving corporation, (iii) the Company sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, other than to a direct or indirect subsidiary, or (iv) any person or entity acquires a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting securities and shall be entitled to vote in the election of directors or otherwise have the right to elect, a majority of the directors of the Company.

The following table illustrates the payments that would be due the Named Executive Officers in the event they are terminated without cause, and with respect to Mr. Nynens, also upon receipt of non-renewal notification. For purposes hereof, “cause” is defined as (A) the commission by the executive of a felony or an offense involving moral turpitude, the executive’s engaging in theft, embezzlement, fraud, obtaining funds or property under false pretenses, or similar acts of misconduct with respect to the property of the Company or its employees, stockholders, affiliates, customers, licensees, licensors or suppliers, (B) the repeated failure by the executive to perform his duties under his employment agreement or comply with reasonable policies or directives of the Board of Directors, or (C) the material breach of the employment agreement or the conditions of employment.
