Term of Employment; Termination
(a) The “Term of Employment” shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue until December 31, 2024; provided, that, should the Executive’s employment by the Company be earlier terminated pursuant to Section 3(b) or by the Executive pursuant to Section 3(c), the Term of Employment shall end on the date of such earlier termination. The Company may extend the Term of Employment by an additional twelve months (“Additional Term”) pursuant to formal action by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at least 90 days prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Term of Employment, unless the Executive notifies the Company of his or her decision to decline any additional term before at least 120 days prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Term of Employment.
(b) Subject to the payments contemplated by Sections 3(f) through 3(i), the Term of Employment may be terminated at any time by the Company:
(i) upon the death of Executive;
(ii) in the event that because of physical or mental disability Executive is unable to perform, and does not perform, in the view of the Company and as certified in writing by a competent medical physician, his or her duties hereunder for a continuous period of three consecutive months or any sixty working days out of any consecutive six month period;
(iii) for Cause (as defined in Section 3(d)) or Material Breach (as defined in Section 3(e));
(iv) upon the continuous poor or unacceptable performance of the Executive’s duties to the Companies (other than due to a physical or mental disability), which has remained uncured for a period of 90 days after delivery of notice by the Company to the Executive of such dissatisfaction with Executive’s performance, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the areas of dissatisfaction; or
(v) for any other reason or no reason, it being understood that no reason is required. Executive acknowledges that no representations or promises have been made concerning the grounds for termination or the future operation of the Companies’ business, and that nothing contained herein or otherwise stated by or on behalf of any of the Companies modifies or amends the right of the Company to terminate Executive at any time, with or without Material Breach or Cause. Termination shall become effective upon the delivery by the Company to the Executive of notice specifying such termination and the reasons therefor (i.e., Section 3 (b)(i)-(v)), subject to the requirements for advance notice and an opportunity to cure provided in this Agreement, if and to the extent applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of this Agreement, any reference to “termination,” as it relates to a termination of the Executive’s employment, shall refer to a termination of employment which constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”).
(c) Subject to the payments contemplated by Section 3(f) and 3(i), the Term of Employment may be terminated at any time by the Executive:
(i) upon the death of Executive;
(ii) as a result of a material reduction in Executive’s authority, perquisites, position or responsibilities (other than such a reduction in perquisites which affects all of the Company’s senior executives on a substantially equal or proportionate basis), the relocation of the Company’s primary place of business or the relocation of Executive by any of the Companies to another office more than 75 miles from Boston, Massachusetts, or the Company’s willful, material violation of its obligations under this Agreement, in each case, after 60 days’ prior written notice to the Company and its Board of Directors and the Company’s failure thereafter to cure such reduction or violation; or
(iii) as a result of the Company’s willful and material violation of this Agreement, the Amended and Restated 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), or any agreement between Executive and any of the Companies pertaining to awards made pursuant to the Incentive Plan or the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, in each case as such agreements or plans may be amended from time to time.

Benefits otherwise receivable by Executive pursuant to this Section 4.1(ii) shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are actually received by the Executive during such 12 month period following his termination (or such shorter period elected by the Executive), and any such benefits actually received by Executive shall be reported by the Executive to the Corporation; and
