Termination of Executives Employment Termination of Executive's Employment means that (i) the Company has terminated Executive's employment with the Company (including any subsidiary of the Company) other than for Cause (as defined in Section 5.2), death or Disability (as defined in Section 5.3), or (ii) Executive, by written notice to the Company, has terminated his employment with the Company (including any subsidiary of the Company) for Good Reason (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means:
RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of the shares for which the Option has been exercised (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the shares are issued, except as provided in Section 9. If the Participant is an Employee, the Participant understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company and the Participant, the Participant’s employment is “at will” and is for no specified term. Nothing in this Option Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the Participant’s Service as a Director, an Employee or Consultant, as the case may be, at any time.
Executive’s Interest The Executive shall have the right to designate the beneficiary of any remaining death proceeds of the Policy. The Executive shall also have the right to elect and change settlement options that may be permitted. Provided, however, the Executive, the Executive’s transferee or the Executive’s beneficiary shall have no rights or interests in the Policy with respect to that portion of the death proceeds designated in this section 2.2 upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment prior to Normal Retirement Age.
Termination for Cause or Other Than for Good Reason If during the Term the Executive’s employment shall be terminated by the Company for Cause or by the Executive for other than Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company to the Executive, other than the Company’s obligation to pay the Executive the Accrued Obligations to the extent theretofore unpaid.
Good Reason; Other Than for Cause or Disability If, during the Employment Period, the Company terminates the Executive's employment other than for Cause or Disability or the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason: (i) the Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following amounts (such aggregate being hereinafter referred to as the "Special Termination Amount"): A. the sum of (1) the Executive's Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (2) the product of (x) the Highest Annual Bonus and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365 and (3) any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon) (including, without limitation, compensation, bonus, incentive compensation or awards deferred under the FPL Group, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan or incentive compensation or awards deferred under the FPL Group, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan of 1985, the FPL Group, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan of 1994, or pursuant to an individual deferral agreement) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2), and (3) being herein called the "Accrued Obligations"); and B. the amount equal to the product of (1) the greater of two or the number of years (with any partial year expressed as a fraction) remaining in the Employment Period and (2) the sum of (x) the Executive's Annual Base Salary and (y) the Highest Annual Bonus; provided, however, that such amount shall be paid in lieu of, and the Executive hereby waives the right to receive, 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 plan, policy or arrangement of the Company; and C. the maximum amount payable under all performance share grants and all other long term incentive compensation grants to the Executive, calculated as though the Executive had remained employed by the Company for the remainder of the Employment Period and on the basis of actual achievement of performance measures through the end of the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs and thereafter assuming 100% achievement of all performance measures through the end of the Employment Period; and D. a separate lump-sum supplemental retirement benefit equal to the difference between (1) the actuarial equivalent (utilizing for this purpose the actuarial assumptions utilized with respect to the FPL Group Employee Pension Plan (or any successor plan thereto) (the "Retirement Plan") during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date) of the benefit payable under the Retirement Plan and all supplemental and/or excess retirement plans providing benefits for the Executive (the "SERP") (including, but not limited to the Supplemental Pension Benefit (as defined in the FPL Group, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan)) which the Executive would receive if the Executive's employment continued at the compensation level provided for in Sections 5(a) and 5(b) of this Agreement for the remainder of the Employment Period, assuming for this purpose that all accrued benefits are fully vested and that benefit accrual formulas are no less advantageous to the Executive than those in effect during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date, or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter during the Employment Period with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, and (2) the actuarial equivalent (utilizing for this purpose the actuarial assumptions utilized with respect to the Retirement Plan during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date) of the Executive's actual benefit (paid or payable), if any, under the Retirement Plan and the SERP; and E. a separate lump-sum supplemental retirement benefit equal to the difference between (1) the value of the Company Account (as defined in the FPL Group Employee Thrift Plan or any successor plan thereto) (the "Thrift Plan") and any other matching contribution accounts (including, but not limited to the Supplemental Matching Contribution Account (as defined in the FPL Group, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan)) under a SERP which the Executive would receive if (i) the Executive s employment continued at the compensation level provided for in Sections 5(a) and 5(b) of this Agreement for the remainder of the Employment Period, (ii) the Executive made pre- and after-tax contributions at the highest permissible rate (disregarding any limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, which may or may not be set forth in the Thrift Plan) for each year remaining in the Employment Period, (iii) the Company Account and the matching contribution accounts are fully vested, and (iv) the matching contribution formulas are no less advantageous to the Executive than those in effect during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time during the remainder of the Employment Period with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, and (2) the actual value of the Executive s Company Account and matching contribution accounts (paid or payable), if any, under the Thrift Plan and the SERP; and (ii) for the remainder of the Employment Period, or such longer period as any plan, program, practice or policy may provide, the Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's family at least equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies described in Sections 5(e) and 5(g) of this Agreement if the Executive's employment had not been terminated, in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of the Company and its affiliated companies applicable generally to other peer executives and their families during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their families, provided, however, that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility. For purposes of determining eligibility of the Executive for retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, practices, programs and policies, the Executive shall be considered to have remained employed until the end of the Employment Period and to have retired on the last day of such period; and (iii) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Other Benefits"), but excluding solely for purposes of this Section 7(a)(iii) amounts waived by the Executive pursuant to Section 7(a)(i)(B).

For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of benefits) of the Executive for retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, practices, programs and policies, the Executive shall be considered to have remained employed until three years after the Date of Termination and to have retired on the last day of such period; (iii) the Company shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide the Executive with outplacement services the scope and provider of which shall be selected by the Executive in his sole discretion; and (iv) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Other Benefits").
