Continuous Service The Parties shall continue providing services to each other during the pendency of any dispute resolution procedure, and the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations (including making payments in accordance with Article IV, Section 4) in accordance with this Agreement.
Termination of Employment Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated under the following circumstances:
Termination of Employment or Service (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, if the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group terminates for any reason, the unvested RSUs shall terminate as of the effective date of termination (the “Termination Date”), and all of the Participant’s rights hereunder with respect to such unvested RSUs shall cease as of the Termination Date (unless otherwise provided for by the Committee in accordance with the Plan).
(b) If the Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Service Recipient during the Performance Period due to or during the Participant’s Disability or due to the Participant’s death, a pro-rated number of the target number of RSUs granted hereunder shall become vested and nonforfeitable (irrespective of performance) based on the number of days in the Performance Period prior to the Termination Date relative to the number of the days in the full Performance Period. Any RSUs that vest as provided herein shall be settled in accordance with Section 4.
(c) In the event the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group is terminated as a result of the Participant’s Retirement, the RSUs granted hereunder shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest, notwithstanding such termination of employment or service, based on (and to the extent) the Committee’s determination that the Performance Conditions have been satisfied on the Determination Date, in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Award Notice, so long as no Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs (as determined by the Committee, or its designee, in its sole discretion) prior to the Determination Date. Any RSUs that vest as provided herein shall be settled in accordance with Section 4. As a pre-condition to the Participant’s right to continued vesting following Retirement, the Committee, or its designee, may require the Participant to certify in writing prior to the applicable vesting date that no Restrictive Covenant Violation has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Date of Grant of the RSUs is not at least six months prior to the date of the Participant’s Retirement, any unvested RSUs shall terminate as of the Termination Date.
(d) If the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group terminates for any reason after the last day of the Performance Period and before the Determination Date (other than a termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Participant while grounds for Cause exist or without Good Reason), and no Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs before the Determination Date, then all RSUs shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on (and to the extent) the Committee’s determination that the Performance Conditions have been satisfied on the Determination Date.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the RSUs granted hereunder shall become immediately fully vested as of the Termination Date and settled in accordance with Section 4 if the Participant’s employment with or service to the Company Group shall be terminated by the Company other than for Cause, or by the Participant for Good Reason, in either case if such termination of the Participant’s employment occurs within 12 months following a Change in Control (for the avoidance of doubt, a Change in Control alone shall not, also, result in any vesting hereunder), with the actual number of RSUs determined based on (i) actual performance through the Termination Date, as determined by the Committee, or (ii) if the Committee determines that measurement of actual performance cannot be reasonably assessed, the assumed achievement of target performance as determined by the Committee.
(f) For purposes of this Section 5, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following, without the Participant’s written consent:
Termination of Continuous Service Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, the unvested portion of the award shall be forfeited as of the date (the “Termination Date”) that the Grantee actually ceases to provide services to the Company or any Affiliate in any capacity of Employee, Director or Consultant (irrespective of whether the Grantee continues to receive severance or any other continuation payments or benefits after such date) (such cessation of the provision of services by Grantee being referred to as “Service Termination”). A Service Termination shall not occur and Continuous Service shall not be considered interrupted in the case of (i) any approved leave of absence, (ii) transfers among the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or any successor, in any capacity of Employee, Director or Consultant, or (iii) any change in status as long as the individual remains in the service of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate in any capacity of Employee, Director or Consultant.
Cessation of Employment In the event Executive shall cease to be employed by the Company for any reason, then Executive's compensation and benefits shall cease on the date of such event, except as otherwise provided herein or in any applicable employee benefit plan or program.
Termination of Employment Severance Your immediate supervisor or the Company's Board of Directors may terminate your employment, with or without cause, at any time by giving you written notice of your termination, such termination of employment to be effective on the date specified in the notice. You also may terminate your employment with the Company at any time. The effective date of termination (the "Effective Date") shall be the last day of your employment with the Company, as specified in a notice by you, or if you are terminated by the Company, the date that is specified by the Company in its notice to you. The following subsections set forth your rights to severance in the event of the termination of your employment in certain circumstances by either the Company or you. Section 5 also sets forth certain restrictions on your activities if your employment with the Company is terminated, whether by the Company or you. That section shall survive any termination of this Agreement or your employment with the Company.
Location of Employment The Executive's principal place of business shall continue to be at the Company's headquarters to be located within thirty (30) miles of Doylestown, Pennsylvania; provided, that the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the performance by the Executive of his duties shall require frequent travel including, without limitation, overseas travel from time to time.
Restriction of Employee Status The status of all employees covered by this Agreement shall be defined under one of the preceding three (3) definitions. If a dispute arises over the proper allocation of employee status, such dispute shall be resolved through Article 9.04
Condition of Employment The Employee acknowledges that his/her employment and the continuance of that employment with the Company is contingent upon his/her agreement to sign and adhere to the provisions of this Agreement. The Employee further acknowledges that the nature of the Company’s business is such that protection of its proprietary and confidential information is critical to its survival and success.

If the Participant’s Service relationship with the Company is suspended pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall be terminated for Cause, all the Participant’s rights with respect to the Options shall be suspended during the period of investigation.
(d) If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Participant’s Service with the Company is terminated other than for Cause, a Normal Termination, death or disability, the Options, to the extent then vested and exercisable as of the Date of Termination, shall remain exercisable until the earlier of the Expiration Date or thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination.
