Company Obligations Upon Termination of Employment During the Term of this Agreement, the Company shall have the following obligations upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company as described in this Section 5:
Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability If the Participant dies or becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final Exercise Date while he or she is an Eligible Participant and the Company has not terminated such relationship for “cause” as specified in paragraph (e) below, this option shall be exercisable, within the period of one year following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in the case of death by an authorized transferee), provided that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that this option was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death or disability, and further provided that this option shall not be exercisable after the Final Exercise Date.
Upon Death or Disability If the Executive dies, all provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement (other than rights or benefits arising as a result of such death) and the Employment Term shall be automatically terminated; provided, however, that an amount equal to the earned and unpaid Incentive Payments to the date of death and the Standard Termination Payments shall be paid to the Executive’s surviving spouse or, if none, the Executive’s estate (as set forth above), and the death benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans shall be paid to the Executive’s beneficiary or beneficiaries as properly designated in writing by the Executive. If the Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s job under this Agreement, with or without reasonable accommodation, by reason of physical or mental disability or incapacity (“Disability”) and such disability or incapacity shall have continued for any period aggregating six months within any 12 consecutive months, the Company may terminate this Agreement and the Employment Term at any time thereafter. In such event, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Executive’s normal compensation hereunder during said time of disability or incapacity, and shall thereafter be entitled to receive the “Disability Incentive Payment” (as described in the penultimate sentence of this subsection (b)) and the Standard Termination Payments (as set forth above). The portion of the payment representing the Disability Incentive Payment shall be paid in a lump sum determined on a net present value basis, using a reasonable discount rate determined by the Board. The Disability Incentive Payment shall be equal to the target Incentive Payment that the Executive would have been eligible to receive for the year in which the Employment Term is terminated multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year before and including the day of termination of the Employment Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such year. Subject to Section 19 below, the Disability Incentive Payment shall be payable in a lump sum on the 60th day after termination of the Executive’s employment.
Payments Upon Termination of Employment (a) If during the Termination Period the employment of the Executive shall terminate, other than by reason of a Nonqualifying Termination, then the Company shall pay to the Executive (or the Executive's beneficiary or estate) within 30 days following the Date of Termination, as compensation for services rendered to the Company:
(1) a cash amount equal to the sum of (i) the Executive's full annual base salary from the Company through the Date of Termination, to the extent not theretofore paid, (ii) the Executive's annual bonus in an amount at least equal to the highest annualized (for any fiscal year consisting of less than 12 full months or with respect to which the Executive has been employed by the Company for less than 12 full months) bonus paid or payable, including by reason of any deferral, to the Executive by the Company in respect of the three fiscal years of the Company (or such portion thereof during which the Executive performed services for the Company if the Executive shall have been employed by the Company for less than such three fiscal year period) immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365 or 366, as applicable, and (iii) any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any interest and earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid; plus
(2) a lump-sum cash amount (subject to any applicable payroll or other taxes required to be withheld pursuant to Section 5) in an amount equal to (i) the Executive's highest annual base salary from the Company in effect during the 12-month period prior to the Date of Termination, plus (ii) the Executive's highest annualized (for any fiscal year consisting of less than 12 full months or with respect to which the Executive has been employed by the Company for less than 12 full months) bonus, paid or payable, including by reason of any deferral, to the Executive by the Company in respect of the five fiscal years of the Company (or such portion thereof during which the Executive performed services for the Company if the Executive shall have been employed by the Company for less than such five fiscal year period) immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs, provided, that any amount paid pursuant to this Section 3(a)(2) shall be paid in lieu of any other amount of severance relating to salary or bonus continuation to be received by the Executive upon termination of employment of the Executive under any severance agreement, plan, policy or arrangement of the Company.
(b) For a period of eighteen months commencing on the Date of Termination, the Company shall continue to keep in full force and effect all policies of medical, accident, disability and life insurance with respect to the Executive and his dependents with the same level of coverage, upon the same terms and otherwise to the same extent as such policies shall have been in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination and the Company shall pay all costs of the continuation of such insurance coverage.
(c) For a period of twelve months commencing on the Date of Termination, the Executive shall receive outplacement assistance services from an outplacement agency selected by the Executive and the Company shall pay all costs of such services; provided that such costs shall not exceed $15,000 in the aggregate.
(d) If during the Termination Period the employment of the Executive shall terminate by reason of a Nonqualifying Termination, then the Company shall pay to the Executive within 30 days following the Date of Termination, a cash amount equal to the sum of:
(1) the Executive's full annual base salary from the Company through the Date of Termination, to the extent not theretofore paid, and
(2) any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any interest and earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid.
Benefits Upon Termination of Employment If the Executive is entitled to benefits pursuant to this Section 2, the Company agrees to pay or provide to the Executive as severance payment, the following:
(i) A single lump sum payment, payable in cash within five days of the Termination Date (or if later, the Change of Control Date), equal to the sum of:

(C) an amount equal to the Executive's Base Compensation times the Compensation Multiplier.
(ii) Continuation, on the same basis as if the Executive continued to be employed by the Company, of Benefits for the Benefit Period commencing on the Termination Date. The Company's obligation hereunder with respect to the foregoing Benefits shall be limited to the extent that the Executive obtains any such benefits pursuant to a subsequent employer's benefit plans, in which case the Company may reduce the coverage of any Benefits it is required to provide the Executive hereunder as long as the aggregate coverages and benefits of the combined benefit plans is no less favorable to the Executive than the Benefits required to be provided hereunder.
(iii) Outplacement services to be provided by an outplacement organization of national repute, which shall include the provision of office space and equipment (including telephone and personal computer) but in no event shall the Company be required to provide such services for a value exceeding 17% of the Executive's Base Compensation.

(iii) Any and all outstanding Unvested Shares shall immediately vest and any restrictions thereon shall immediately lapse upon the Executive’s death or termination of employment due to Disability (the acceleration of any other equity incentives granted to the Executive under any equity incentive plan of the Guarantor in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment due to death or Disability shall be governed by the applicable plan and related grant documents); and
(iv) If the Executive is eligible for and elects to receive continued coverage under the Company’s medical and health benefits plan(s) in accordance with the provisions of COBRA for the Executive and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents, or if the Executive’s eligible dependents are eligible for such continued coverage due to the Executive’s death, then the Company shall reimburse the Executive or such dependents for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Executive’s termination of employment due to death or Disability (or, if less, for the period that the Executive or any such dependent is eligible for such COBRA continuation coverage) for the excess of (A) the amount that the Executive or any such dependent is required to pay monthly to maintain such continued coverage under COBRA, over (B) the amount that the Executive would have paid monthly to participate in the Company’s group health benefits plan(s) had the Executive continued to be an employee of the Company.
Termination Upon Death or Disability If Executive dies during the Term, the obligations of the Company to or with respect to Executive shall terminate in their entirety except as otherwise provided under this Section 4.1. If Executive becomes eligible for disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plans and arrangements (or, if none, if Executive by virtue of ill health or other disability is unable to perform substantially and continuously the duties assigned to him for at least 120 consecutive or non-consecutive days out of any consecutive 12-month period), the Company shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to terminate the employment of Executive upon notice in writing to Executive; provided that the Company will have no right to terminate Executive’s employment if, in the reasonable opinion of a qualified physician acceptable to the Company, it is substantially certain that Executive will be able to resume Executive’s duties on a regular full-time basis within 30 days of the date Executive receives notice of such termination. Upon death or other termination of employment by virtue of disability in accordance with this Section 4.1, Executive (or Executive’s estate or beneficiaries in the case of the death of Executive) shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefit hereunder on and after the effective date of the termination of employment other than (i) Annual Salary and other benefits earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the date of termination (and reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred prior to the date of termination); (ii) a cash payment equal to the prorated portion of the Annual Bonus at the “target” level for the Contract Year or partial Contract Year in which Executive’s employment hereunder terminates; (iii) elimination of any exclusively time-based vesting conditions on any restricted stock, stock option or other equity awards in the Company he had been granted which he then continues to hold, to the extent then unvested (it being expressly understood and agreed that any performance-based vesting conditions (whether or not in tandem with such time-based vesting conditions) will continue in effect in accordance with their terms, except as may otherwise be provided to the contrary in the applicable award agreements); (iv) in the event of Executive’s death, (A) a cash payment equal to two months of Executive’s Annual Salary payable no later than 10 days after such termination, and (B) continuation to Executive’s spouse and dependents of fully paid health insurance benefits under the Company’s health plans and programs applicable to senior executives of the Company generally (if and as in effect from time to time) during the one year following the date of termination; and (v) Executive (or, in the case of his death, his estate and beneficiaries) shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits hereunder on or after the termination of employment, or any other rights hereunder.
