Certain Termination Benefits Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or otherwise required by law, all compensation and benefits payable to Executive under this Agreement shall terminate on the date of termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to Section 5(c) or Section 5(d) above, the Company shall provide to Executive the following termination benefits (“Termination Benefits”):
(i) continuation of salary at a rate equal to one-hundred (100%) of Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the date of termination for a period of twelve months (payment shall be subject to withholding under applicable law and shall be made in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practice for executive officers of the Company as in effect from time to time) with the first payment starting on the first payroll date that occurs 30 days after the Termination Date;
(ii) provided Executive elects and remains eligible for the continuation of group health plan benefits pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et seq. (commonly known as “COBRA”), the Company will pay with the cost of the regular premium for such benefits shared in the same relative proportion by the Company and Executive as in effect on the date of termination from the date of termination until the earlier of: (1) twelve months after the date of termination, or (2) the date Executive is no longer eligible for COBRA; and
(iii) payment of the bonus that the Executive would have been entitled to receive under the bonus or other performance plan referred to in Section 3(b) had his employment not been terminated, prorated based on the number of days the Executive was employed by the Company during the relevant bonus period. Such payment shall be made to the Executive at the time bonuses under such plan are generally paid to other participants but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the termination date. The Company shall have the right to terminate all of the Termination Benefits set forth in Section 5(e)(i) and Section 5(e)(ii) in the event that Executive fails to comply in any material respect with Executive’s Continuing Obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5(e) shall be construed to affect Executive’s right to receive COBRA continuation entirely at Executive’s own cost to the extent that Executive may continue to be entitled to COBRA continuation after Executive’s right to cost sharing under Section 5(e)(ii) ceases. The Company and Executive agree that the Termination Benefits paid by the Company to Executive under this Section 5(e) shall be in full satisfaction, compromise and release of any claims arising exclusively out of any termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(c) or Section 5(d), and that the payment of the Termination Benefits shall be contingent upon Executive’s delivery of a separation agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company that shall include a general release of claims in favor of the Company and related persons and entities (“Release Agreement”), it being understood that no Termination Benefits shall be provided unless and until such Release agreement becomes fully effective.
Certain Terminations of Employment If your employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or because you are Disabled, if you terminate your employment without Good Reason or if your employment ends because of your death, then the Company shall pay your Accrued Benefit through the Date of Termination and, except for the payment of the Accrued Benefit, your compensation, benefits, and stock option vesting shall cease as of the Date of Termination.
Certain Terminations The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue, or matter therein by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
Effective Period Termination This Agreement shall become effective as of the date of its execution and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated as hereinafter provided. This Agreement may be terminated by each Investment Company, on behalf of a Fund, or by the Custodian by 90 days notice in Writing to the other provided that any termination by an Investment Company shall be authorized by a resolution of the Board, a certified copy of which shall accompany such notice of termination, and provided further, that such resolution shall specify the names of the persons to whom the Custodian shall deliver the assets of the affected Funds held by the Custodian. If notice of termination is given by the Custodian, the affected Investment Companies shall, within 90 days following the giving of such notice, deliver to the Custodian a certified copy of a resolution of the Boards specifying the names of the persons to whom the Custodian shall deliver assets of the affected Funds held by the Custodian. In either case the Custodian will deliver such assets to the persons so specified, after deducting therefrom any amounts which the Custodian determines to be owed to it hereunder (including all costs and expenses of delivery or transfer of Fund assets to the persons so specified). If within 90 days following the giving of a notice of termination by the Custodian, the Custodian does not receive from the affected Investment Companies certified copies of resolutions of the Boards specifying the names of the persons to whom the Custodian shall deliver the assets of the Funds held by the Custodian, the Custodian, at its election, may deliver such assets to a bank or trust company doing business in the State of California to be held and disposed of pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or may continue to hold such assets until a certified copy of one or more resolutions as aforesaid is delivered to the Custodian. The obligations of the parties hereto regarding the use of reasonable care, indemnities and payment of fees and expenses shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Vacation Pay on Termination An employee whose employment is terminated shall receive vacation pay at the appropriate percentage of the wages or salary earned during the period of entitlement in accordance with the employee's years of service.
Vacation Pay Upon Termination When an employee in the bargaining unit is terminated for any reason, he/she shall be entitled to all vacation pay earned and accumulated up to and including the effective date of the termination.

Termination of Employment Following a Change in Control Subject to Section 11(a) hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to the Change in Control Severance Benefits (as defined in Section 4(c) below) set forth in this Section 4, in lieu of the severance benefits the Executive is entitled to under Section 3 of this Agreement, if there has been a Change in Control and the Executive has incurred a Termination of Employment. The severance benefit provided under this Section 4 is in lieu of cash severance payments offered under the Company's documented severance policy, if any.
(a) For purposes of Section 4 of the Agreement, "Termination of Employment" shall be defined as:
(i) The Executive's involuntary termination by the Company for any reason other than death, Disability or Cause; or
(ii) The Executive's termination for "Good Reason," defined as the occurrence of any of the following events without the Executive's written consent, if the Executive terminates employment within one (1) year following the occurrence of such event:
(A) Any reassignment of the Executive to substantial duties materially inconsistent with the Executive's position, duties, responsibilities and status with the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control or a substantial diminution in the Executive's position, duties, responsibilities or status with the Company from his position, duties, responsibilities or status with the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control; provided that the fact that the Company is no longer a publicly traded company or the Executive no longer has duties and responsibilities associated exclusively with a publicly traded company, such as Securities and Exchange Commission or stock exchange reporting responsibilities or investor or analyst relations responsibilities, shall not be deemed to be a reassignment of the Executive to substantial duties materially inconsistent with the Executive's position, duties, responsibilities and status with the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control or a substantial diminution in the Executive's position, duties, responsibilities or status with the Company from his position, duties, responsibilities or status with the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control;
(B) Any reduction in the Executive's base salary or targeted incentive bonus or commissions in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or failure by the Company to continue any bonus, stock or other incentive plans in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control (without the implementation of comparable successor plans that provide comparable award opportunities/benefits), or any removal of the Executive from participation in such aforementioned plans;
(C) The discontinuance or reduction in benefits to the Executive under any qualified or nonqualified retirement or welfare plan maintained by the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control (without the implementation of comparable successor plans that provide comparable benefits), or the discontinuance of any fringe benefits or other perquisites that the Executive received immediately prior to the Change in Control (without the implementation of comparable successor plans that provide comparable benefits);
(D) Required relocation of the Executive's principal place of employment more than 50 miles from the Executive's place of employment prior to the Change in Control; or
(E) The Company's breach of any provision in this Agreement, provided that the Company has not cured such breach within 10 days following written notice by the Executive to the Company of such breach.
(b) The Executive who believes the Executive is entitled to a Termination of Employment for Good Reason, as defined in Section 4 above, may apply in writing to the Company for confirmation of such entitlement prior to the Executive's actual separation from employment, by following the claims procedure set forth in Section 15 hereof. The submission of such a request by the Executive shall not constitute "Cause" for the Company to terminate the Executive as defined under Section 2(a) hereof. If the Executive's request for a Good Reason Termination of Employment is denied under both the request and appeal procedures set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 15 hereof, then the parties shall use their best efforts to resolve the claim within 90 days after the claim is submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 15(d).
(c) Upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Sections 4 or 11(a) hereof and with respect to any one or more Changes in Control that may occur during the term of this Agreement, upon the Executive's execution of a release (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A), the Executive shall be entitled to (the "Change in Control Severance Benefits"):
(i) A cash severance benefit equal to one times the Executive's current annual base salary, as in effect at the time of the Change in Control;
(ii) A prorated portion of the Executive's target bonus for the year of termination, based on the number of days worked in the year of termination;
(iii) Subject to Section 6, continuation of Company-provided health (including vision and dental, if provided by the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control) and welfare benefits (including executive life insurance coverage, if provided by the Company to the Executive immediately prior to the Change in Control) for one year, on the terms (or comparable terms) provided by the Company to the Executive immediately prior to the Change in Control. Health benefits shall be provided through continued coverage under the Company's group health plan, if allowed under the terms of such plan, or by the reimbursement of COBRA continuation coverage premiums paid by the Executive, as determined by the Company; provided, however, if the health plan is self-insured by the Company, then the determination shall be made by the Executive. Any continuation of group health plan coverage under this paragraph shall run concurrently with the period of required COBRA continuation coverage under the Code. If COBRA continuation coverage is not available, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for premiums for comparable coverage, provided, however, that the reimbursement shall not exceed the greater of (i) two times the annual premium paid by the Company for such coverage at the date of termination or (ii) two times the amount of the COBRA premium under the Company's group health plan for coverage comparable to that elected by the Executive, (A) at the time of the Change of Control or (B) at the time of the required payment, whichever is greater. Welfare benefits (other than health benefits) shall be continued only to the extent permitted under the terms of such plans;
(iv) Continuation of the Executive's then current car benefit for one year in accordance with the Company car policy in effect at the time of termination.
(v) Continued coverage, during the six (6) years following the Executive's termination for his actions or omissions as an officer and, if applicable, director of the Company prior to the date of termination of his employment, under any directors and officers liability insurance policy maintained by the Company (or, if the Company does not maintain such a policy, by its affiliates) for its former directors and officers or, at the Company's election, for the current directors and officers. If the Company or its affiliates does not otherwise maintain such a policy, then the Company shall be required to provide the Executive with such a policy, to the extent available. The policy dollar coverage limits of any such policy shall be not less than the policy limit under any Company policy in place within the one (1) year prior to the Executive's termination of employment (the "Existing Policy") or, if less, the policy dollar coverage limit that can be purchased by the Company for all of its current and former directors and officers at an annual premium equal to two times the Company's annual premium for the Existing Policy.
(d) Subject to Section 11(a) hereof, the Executive's cash severance benefit under Section 4(c)(i) and (ii) shall be paid in a lump sum cash payment within ten (10) days following the Executive's Termination of Employment, as defined in Section 4. Any payment made later than 10 days following the Executive's Termination of Employment (or applicable due date under Section 11(a) hereof) for whatever reason, shall include interest at the prime rate plus two percent, which shall begin accruing on the 10th day following the Executive's Termination of Employment (or applicable due date under Section 11(a) hereof). For purposes of this Section 4, "prime rate" shall be determined by reference to the prime rate established by Comerica Bank (or its successor), in effect from time to time commencing on the 10th day following the Executive's Termination of Employment (or applicable due date under Section 11(a) hereof).
(e) Section 4 of this Agreement shall terminate upon the first of the following events to occur:
(i) Three years from the date hereof if a Change in Control has not occurred within such three-year period;
(ii) Termination of the Executive's employment with the Company prior to a Change in Control, provided, however, if there is a Change in Control within six months after the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, other than a termination due to the Executive's death or Disability, an involuntary termination by the Company for Cause or a termination of employment by the Executive, then the Agreement shall not be deemed to have terminated and the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Change in Control Severance Benefits provided in Section 4, less any Regular Severance Benefits the Executive has been paid under Section 3, in lieu of the severance benefits the Executive is entitled to under Section 3;
(iii) The expiration of two years following a Change in Control;
(iv) Termination of the Executive's employment with the Company following a Change in Control due to the Executive's death or Disability;
(v) Termination of the Executive's employment by the Company for Cause following a Change in Control; or
(vi) Termination of employment by the Executive for other than Good Reason following the date of a Change in Control. Unless Section 4 of this Agreement has first terminated under clauses (ii) through (vi) hereof, commencing on the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement, and on each one-year anniversary thereafter, Section 4 of this Agreement shall be extended for one additional year, unless at least 180 days prior to any such anniversary, the Company notifies the Executive in writing that it shall not extend the term of Section 4 of this Agreement.
Termination of Employment Period The Agreement Term shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following:
On Termination In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to the expiration of its original term or any renewal term, Owner shall indemnify, protect, defend, save and hold Manager and all of the other Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, demands, suits, proceedings, loss, judgments, damage, awards, liens, fines, costs, attorney's fees and expenses, of every kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, "Losses"), that may be imposed on or incurred by Manager by reason of the willful misconduct, gross negligence and/or unlawful acts (such unlawfulness having been adjudicated by a court of proper jurisdiction) of Owner.
