(1) The Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within five (5) days after the Date of Termination, if not theretofore paid, the Executive's Base Salary (as in effect on the Date of Termination) through the Date of Termination, and in the case of compensation previously deferred and bonuses previously earned by the Executive, all amounts of such compensation previously deferred and earned and not yet paid by the Company.
(2) The Company shall, promptly upon submission by the Executive of supporting documentation, pay or reimburse to the Executive any costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Executive which would have been payable under Section 4.6 hereof if the Executive's employment had not terminated.

If the most recent Annual Bonus was a stock option or a stock grant, the value of the bonus will be deemed to be the number of option shares times the closing price of the Common Stock for the 20 trading days prior to the Date of Termination.
(4) During the 18-month period commencing on the Date of Termination, the Company shall continue benefits (other than disability benefits), at the Company's expense to the Executive and/or the Executive's family at least equal to those which would have been provided to them under Section 4.5 hereof if the Executive's employment had not been terminated (without giving effect to any reduction in such benefits subsequent to the Change in Control which reduction constitutes or may constitute Good Reason).
(b) The Company shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of a termination which entitles the Executive to any payments under Section 6.4 hereof including all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing any Notice of Termination under Section 5.3 hereof or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by Section 6.4 hereof.

(c) Any determination by the Executive pursuant to this Section 6.4 that Good Reason exists for the Executive's termination of employment and that adequate remedy has not occurred shall be presumed correct and shall govern unless the party contesting the determination shows by a clear preponderance of the evidence that it was not a good faith reasonable determination.
(d) Notwithstanding any dispute concerning whether Good Reason exists for termination of employment or whether adequate remedy has occurred, the Company shall immediately pay to the Executive any amounts otherwise due under this Section 6.4. The Executive may be required to repay such amounts to the Company if any such dispute is finally determined adversely to the Executive.
(e) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages with respect to the amount of any payment provided under this Section 6.4 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided under this Section 6.4 be reduced by retirement benefits, deferred compensation or any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer.

This section shall not apply following a Change in Control.
Selection of Independent Counsel for Standard of Conduct Determination If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b)(i), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board, and the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 8(b)(ii), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either case, Indemnitee or the Company, as applicable, may, within five days after receiving written notice of selection from the other, deliver to the other a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not satisfy the criteria set forth in the definition of “Independent Counsel” in Section 1, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person or firm so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is properly and timely made and substantiated, (i) the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit; and (ii) the non-objecting party may, at its option, select an alternative Independent Counsel and give written notice to the other party advising such other party of the identity of the alternative Independent Counsel so selected, in which case the provisions of the two immediately preceding sentences, the introductory clause of this sentence and numbered clause (i) of this sentence shall apply to such subsequent selection and notice. If applicable, the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to successive alternative selections. If no Independent Counsel that is permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(e) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall have been selected within twenty days after the Company gives its initial notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8(e) or Indemnitee gives its initial notice pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 8(e), as the case may be, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or to appoint as Independent Counsel a person to be selected by such court or such other person as the court shall designate, and the person or firm with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person or firm so appointed will act as Independent Counsel. In all events, the Company shall pay all of the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel incurred in connection with the Independent Counsel’s determination pursuant to Section 8(b).

This definition applies for the first twenty-four (24) months of payments. After this time, the inability to perform an occupation for which the employee is reasonably fitted by training, education or experience will constitute total disability. It is not required that an employee be confined to home, but they must be under the regular care of a physician.
