Total Disability a) Total disability, as used in this Plan, means the complete inability because of an accident or sickness of a covered employee to perform all the duties of his/her own occupation for the first two (2) years of disability. Thereafter, employees able by reason of education, training or experience to perform the duties of a gainful occupation for which the rate of pay is not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the current rate of pay of their regular occupation at date of disability will not be considered totally disabled and will therefore not be eligible for benefits under this Long Term Disability Plan.
b) Total disabilities resulting from mental or nervous disorders are covered by the Plan in the same manner as total disabilities resulting from accidents or other sicknesses, except that an employee who is totally disabled as a result of a mental or nervous disorder and who has received twenty-four (24) months of Long Term Disability Plan benefit payments must be confined to a hospital or mental institution or where they are at home, under the direct care and supervision of a medical doctor, in order to continue to be eligible for benefit payment. During a period of total disability an employee must be under the regular and personal care of a legally qualified doctor of medicine.
c) i) If an employee becomes totally disabled and during this period of total disability engages in rehabilitative employment, the regular monthly benefit from this plan will be reduced by twenty-five percent (25%) of the employee's earnings from such rehabilitative employment. In the event that income from rehabilitative employment and the benefit paid under this Plan exceeds eighty-five percent (85%) of the employee's earnings at date of disability, the benefit from this Plan will be further reduced by the excess amount.
By Disability If Executive becomes eligible for the Company’s long term disability benefits or if, in the sole opinion of the Company, Executive is unable to carry out the responsibilities and functions of the position held by Executive by reason of any physical or mental impairment for more than ninety consecutive days or more than one hundred and twenty days in any twelve-month period, then, to the extent permitted by law, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment. The Company shall pay to Executive all compensation to which Executive is entitled up through the date of termination, and thereafter all obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall cease. Nothing in this Section shall affect Executive’s rights under any disability plan in which Executive is a participant.
Termination by Disability In the event the employment of the Optionee is terminated by reason of Disability, the Option shall become immediately and fully exercisable as of the date the Committee determines the Optionee terminated for Disability and shall remain exercisable at any time prior to the end of the Exercise Term, or for one (1) year after the date of termination, whichever period is shorter.

Disability of Executive The Company may terminate this Agreement without liability if Executive shall be permanently prevented from properly performing his essential duties hereunder with reasonable accommodation by reason of illness or other physical or mental incapacity for a period of more than one hundred twenty 120 consecutive days. Upon such termination, Executive shall be entitled to all accrued but unpaid Base Salary and vacation.
Death or Total Disability In the event of the death of the Executive during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of the Executive's death. In the event of the Total Disability (as that term is defined below) of the Executive for sixty (60) days in the aggregate during any consecutive nine (9) month period during the Term, the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving the Executive thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof, and upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Executive's employment under this Agreement shall terminate. If the Executive shall resume his duties within thirty (30) days after receipt of such a notice of termination and continue to perform such duties for four (4) consecutive weeks thereafter, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, without any reduction in Base Salary and other benefits, and the notice of termination shall be considered null and void and of no effect. Upon termination of this Agreement under this Paragraph 7(a), the Company shall have no further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except to pay to the Executive's estate or the Executive, as the case may be, (i) the portion, if any, that remains unpaid of the Base Salary for the Year in which termination occurred, but in no event less than six (6) months' Base Salary; and (ii) the amount of any expenses reimbursable in accordance with Paragraph 4 above, and any automobile allowance due under Paragraph 5 above; and (iii) any amounts due under any Company benefit, welfare or pension plan. Except as otherwise provided by their terms, any stock options not vested at the time of the termination of this Agreement under this Paragraph 7(a) shall immediately become fully vested.
Definition of Total Disability Total disability means that the employee is unable, because of sickness or accident, to perform the duties of their regular occupation. 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.

Disability The Company shall be entitled to terminate the Executive’s employment if the Board determines that the Executive has been unable to attend to the Executive’s duties for at least ninety (90) days because of a Disability (as defined below), and has received a written opinion from a physician acceptable to the Board that such condition prevents the Executive from resuming full performance of the Executive’s duties and is likely to continue for an indefinite period. Except as provided under the terms of the award, and subject to compliance with the covenants in Section 9 and Section 10 and the execution, timely return and non-revocation (if applicable) by the Executive of a release of claims in a form and substance reasonably requested by the Company (the “Release”) (unless such Release is waived by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion), any then outstanding restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards shall become fully vested (for purposes of this Section 5(b), references to “fully vested” in connection with any award subject to performance-based vesting conditions refers to vesting at the target level of achievement of the performance goal or goals under the award), and the Company shall pay severance to the Executive in accordance with its normal payroll practices, equal to twelve (12) months of the Executive’s Base Salary as in effect at the time the Executive’s employment terminates, with the first payment on the first payroll date after the revocation period for the Release has expired; provided (i) if the time period for returning and revoking the Release begins in one taxable year and ends in a second taxable year, the payments shall not commence until the first payroll date in the second taxable year; and (ii) all such payments shall immediately terminate at an earlier date if the Executive returns to active employment, either with the Company or otherwise. Any amounts payable under this Section 5(b) shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of bona fide disability pay (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-1(a)(5)) received or receivable by the Executive during such twelve-month period, provided such disability payments are made pursuant to a plan sponsored by the Company that covers a substantial number of employees of the Company and was established prior to the date the Executive incurred a permanent disability, and further provided that such reduction does not otherwise affect the time of payment of amounts pursuant to this Section 5(b). With respect to any restricted stock unit awards held by the Executive, settlement shall occur pursuant to the terms of the award. For purposes of the Agreement, “Disability” means the Executive is incapacitated due to physical or mental illness and such incapacity, with or without reasonable accommodation, prevents the Executive from satisfactorily performing the essential functions of the Executive’s job for the Company on a full-time basis for at least ninety (90) days in a calendar year.
