Termination Date For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Section 10(b) and Section 17(a) hereof, the term “Termination Date” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive’s death, then the date of death; (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of voluntary early retirement, as agreed in writing by the Company and the Executive, then the date of such early retirement which is set forth in such written agreement; (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of disability pursuant to Section 12 hereof, then the earlier of thirty (30) days after the Notice of Termination is given or one day prior to the end of the Employment Period; (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive voluntarily (other than for Good Reason), then the date the Notice of Termination is given; and (v) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company (other than by reason of disability pursuant to Section 12 hereof) or by the Executive for Good Reason, then the earlier of thirty (30) days after the Notice of Termination is given or one day prior to the end of the Employment Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(A) If termination is by the Company for Cause pursuant to Section 1(d)(iii) of this Agreement and if the Executive has substantially cured the conduct constituting such Cause as described by the Company in its Notice of Termination within such thirty (30) day or shorter period, then the Executive’s employment hereunder shall continue as if the Company had not delivered its Notice of Termination and there shall be no Termination Date arising out of such Notice.
(B) If the Company shall give a Notice of Termination for Cause or by reason of disability and the Executive in good faith notifies the Company that a dispute exists concerning such attempted termination within the fifteen (15)-day period following receipt thereof, then the Executive may elect to continue his employment during the pendency of such dispute and the Termination Date shall be determined under this paragraph. If the Executive so elects and it is thereafter determined that Cause or disability (as the case may be) did exist, the Termination Date shall be the earlier of (1) the date on which the dispute is finally determined, either (x) by mutual written agreement of the parties or (y) in accordance with Section 22 hereof, (2) the date of the Executive’s death, or (3) one day prior to the end of the Employment Period. If the Executive so elects and it is thereafter determined that Cause or disability (as the case may be) did not exist, then the employment of the Executive hereunder shall continue after such determination as if the Company had not delivered its Notice of Termination and there shall be no Termination Date arising out of such Notice.
(C) If the Executive shall in good faith give a Notice of Termination for Good Reason and the Company in good faith notifies the Executive that a dispute exists concerning such attempted termination within the fifteen (15)-day period following receipt thereof, then the Executive may elect to continue his employment during the pendency of such dispute and the Termination Date shall be determined under this paragraph. If the Executive so elects and it is thereafter determined that Good Reason did exist, the Termination Date shall be the earlier of (1) the date on which the dispute is finally determined, either (x) by mutual written agreement of the parties or (y) in accordance with Section 22 hereof, (2) the date of the Executive’s death or (3) one day prior to the end of the Employment Period. If the Executive so elects and it is thereafter determined that Good Reason did not exist, then the employment of the Executive hereunder shall continue after such determination as if the Executive had not delivered the Notice of Termination asserting Good Reason and there shall be no Termination Date arising out of such Notice. In either case, this Agreement continues, until the Termination Date, if any, as if the Executive had not delivered the Notice of Termination except that, if it is finally determined that Good Reason did exist, the Executive shall in no case be denied the benefits described in Sections 8(b) and 9 hereof (including a Termination Payment) based on events occurring after the Executive delivered his Notice of Termination.
(D) Except as provided in Paragraphs (B) and (C) above, if the party receiving the Notice of Termination in good faith notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination within the fifteen (15)-day period following receipt thereof and it is finally determined pursuant to a legally binding settlement or final and nonappealable judgment or other binding decision that the reason asserted in such Notice of Termination did not exist, then (1) if such Notice was delivered by the Executive, the Executive will be deemed to have voluntarily terminated his employment and (2) if delivered by the Company, the Company will be deemed to have terminated the Executive other than by reason of death, disability or Cause. In the event clause (2) applies, all amounts owed to the Executive under this Agreement shall be paid promptly following the execution of the legally binding settlement or issuance of the final and nonappealable judgment or other binding decision.
(E) If the termination is described in Section 2 hereof, then the Termination Date shall be the date of the Executive’s termination of employment from the Company.
