Termination of Employment Relationship 3.1 The Executive’s employment with the Company shall automatically terminate, and the Employment Term shall thereupon terminate:
Transfer of Employment Notwithstanding any other provision ---------------------- herein to the contrary, the Company shall cease to have any further obligation or liability to the Executive under this Agreement if (a) the Executive's employment with the Company terminates as a result of the transfer of his employment to any other Affiliate of the Corporation, (b) this Agreement is assigned to such other Affiliate, and (c) such other Affiliate expressly assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no assignment had taken place. Any Affiliate to which this Agreement is so assigned shall be treated as the "Company" for all purposes of this Agreement on or after the date as of which such assignment to the Affiliate, and the Affiliate's assumption and agreement to so perform this Agreement, becomes effective.
At-Will Employment Relationship Executive’s employment with the Company is at-will and not for any specified period and may be terminated at any time, with or without Cause or advance notice, by either Executive or the Company. Any change to the at-will employment relationship must be by specific, written agreement signed by Executive and an authorized representative of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed to contradict, modify or alter this at-will relationship.
Employment Relationship Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Your employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. Any contrary representations that may have been made to you are superseded by this letter agreement. This is the full and complete agreement between you and the Company on this term. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than you).
Termination of Employment Agreement (a) Effective as of the Effective Date and immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Employment Agreement is hereby terminated and shall be of no further force or effect whatsoever; provided, however, that, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, such termination shall be contingent on the closing of the Merger.
Offer of Employment To the extent a Designated Employee is not party to an employment agreement with a Transferor that is a Transferred Contract, the Transferor Parties shall cooperate with the Acquiring Parties and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain on behalf of the Acquiring Parties the acceptance of an offer of employment by any Designated Employees that the Acquiring Parties may hereafter elect to employ, and the Transferor Parties consent to the Acquiring Parties or any of their respective Affiliates communicating directly with such Designated Employees about offers of employment commencing ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date or such earlier date as the Transferors may agree to in their sole discretion. The Acquiring Parties shall make offers of employment to the Designated Employees on terms and conditions to be determined by the Acquiring Parties, provided that each offer of employment is on terms and conditions substantially similar to, and, considered on an overall basis, no less favorable than the Designated Employee’s terms and conditions of employment with the Transferor Parties. The Acquiring Parties shall recognize each Designated Employee’s service with the Transferring Parties for the purposes of calculating all statutory entitlements and the Acquiring Parties shall assume liability for each Designated Employee’s accrued entitlement to annual leave, long service leave and personal leave. The Transferor Parties agree to release each Designated Employee from his or her employment effective from the date on which the Designated Employee will commence employment with the Acquiring Parties. Each Principal has agreed by his execution of this Agreement to execute and deliver at Closing an employment agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Employment Agreement”), to Parent or, if directed by Parent, one of Parent’s Affiliates. Except for obligations to the Transferors, to the Knowledge of the Transferors, the Principals are not obligated under or bound by any agreement or instrument, or any judgment, decree, or order of any court of administrative agency, that (a) conflicts or may conflict with their agreements and obligations to use their commercially reasonable efforts to promote the interests of the Acquiring Parties, (b) conflicts or may conflict with the business or operations of the Acquiring Parties, or (c) restricts or may restrict the use or disclosure of any information that may be useful to the Acquiring Parties. Without regard to whether the Acquiror employs the Principals or the Designated Employees, the Transferors shall be solely responsible for all outstanding payments due to the Principals and the Designated Employees under their existing terms of employment with the Transferors (including but not limited to salary, severance obligations or any other payment, except as otherwise provided for in this Section 5.4) through the Closing Date and the Transferor Parties acknowledge and agree that none of the Acquiring Parties shall assume or in any fashion be bound by any employment Contract between a Transferor and the Principals or a Designated Employee.
Termination of Employment; Change in Control (i) For purposes of the grant hereunder, any transfer of employment by the Optionee among the Corporation and the Subsidiaries shall not be considered a termination of employment. If the Optionee's employment with the Corporation is terminated for Cause (as defined in the last Section hereof), the Option, whether or not then vested, shall be automatically terminated as of the date of such termination of employment. If the Optionee's employment with the Corporation shall terminate other than by reason of Retirement (as defined in the last Section hereof), Disability (as defined in the last Section hereof), death or Cause, the Option (to the extent then vested) may be exercised at any time within ninety (90) days after such termination (but not beyond the Term of the Option). The Option, to the extent not then vested, shall immediately expire upon such termination. If the Optionee dies or becomes Disabled (A) while employed by the Corporation or (B) within 90 days after the termination of his or her employment other than for Cause or Retirement, the Option (to the extent then vested) may be exercised at any time within one year after the Optionee's death or Disability (but not beyond the Term of the Option). The Option, to the extent not then vested, shall immediately expire upon such death or disability. If the Optionee's employment terminates by reason of Retirement, the Option shall (A) become fully and immediately vested and exercisable and (B) remain exercisable for three years from the date of such Retirement (but not beyond the Term of the Option).
