If, prior to a Change in Control or on or after the second (2nd) anniversary of the date of a Change in Control, the Company terminates Executive’s employment other than for Cause, death or Disability or Executive resigns for Good Reason, then (and with respect to the payments and benefits described in clauses (ii) through (x) of this § 8(a), only if Executive executes (and does not revoke) a Release in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Release”) within sixty (60) days of the Date of Termination): (i) the Company will pay to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination the sum of (A) Executive’s Base Salary (as in effect on the Date of Termination) earned through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (B) Executive’s business expenses for which reimbursement has been requested pursuant to the Company’s expense reimbursement policy but which have not been reimbursed before Executive’s applicable Date of Termination and (C) Executive’s Annual Bonus, if any, earned for the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, if such bonus has been certified as payable by the Committee but has not been paid before the Date of Termination (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) shall be referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”); and (ii) (A) if the Applicable Pay Date is the Delayed Pay Date, the Company will pay Executive on the Delayed Pay Date a lump sum equal to the amount of the Base Salary (as in effect on the Date of Termination or, if Executive terminates employment pursuant to § 7(c)(ii) upon a reduction in Executive’s Base Salary, as in effect immediately prior to such reduction in Base Salary) Executive would have earned if Executive had been continuously employed by Company from the Date of Termination until the Delayed Pay Date or (B) if the Applicable Pay Date is the Immediate Pay Date, the Company will continue to pay Executive an amount equal to his monthly Base Salary (as in effect on the Date of Termination or, if Executive terminates employment pursuant to § 7(c)(ii) upon a reduction in Executive’s Base Salary, as in effect immediately prior to such reduction in Base Salary) until payments begin under § 8(a)(iii) without any duplication of payments between this § 8(a)(ii) and § 8(a)(iii); and (iii) commencing on the seven (7)-month anniversary of the date Executive has a Separation from Service, the Company will continue to pay Executive an amount equal to Executive’s monthly Base Salary (as in effect on the Date of Termination or, if Executive terminates employment pursuant to § 7(c)(ii) upon a reduction in Executive’s Base Salary, as in effect immediately prior to such reduction in Base Salary), payable in equal monthly or more frequent installments in accordance with the Company’s then standard payroll practices for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months; and (iv) as additional severance (and not in lieu of any bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs), the Company will pay Executive a lump sum equal to one and one-half (1½) times the amount of Executive’s Target Bonus Opportunity (as in effect on the Date of Termination or, if Executive terminates employment pursuant to § 7(c)(ii) as in effect immediately prior to such reduction in Executive’s Target Bonus Opportunity) on the date that is nine (9) months and one (1) day after the date of Executive’s Separation from Service; and (v) the Company shall pay to Executive a lump sum cash amount within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination equal to the product of (A) eighteen (18) multiplied by (B) one hundred percent (100%) of the monthly premiums for continuation of health care coverage under the Company’s group health plan for purposes of continuation coverage under § 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”) with respect to the maximum level of coverage in effect for Executive and his spouse and dependents as of immediately prior to the Date of Termination; and (vi) the Company will pay Executive a pro-rated annual bonus for the fiscal-year in which the Date of Termination occurs equal to (i) the amount Executive would have earned, if any, under § 5(b)(i) for the year of termination based on actual financial performance for such fiscal year, times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in the fiscal year preceding the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is twelve (12); provided that such bonus shall be paid only if the pre-established performance targets are in fact certified by the Committee to have been met, and such bonus shall be paid in a single lump sum cash payment no later than two and one-half (2½) months after the end of the fiscal year in which the bonus is earned;

and (vii) all restricted Company Common Stock or units which represent shares of Company Common Stock, excluding those that are subject to performance conditions (“Restricted Stock”), granted to Executive following the Effective Date and held by Executive as of the Date of Termination will become immediately vested as of the Date of Termination and, in the case of units, shall be settled within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination (or any later date required by § 409A of the Code); and (viii) all options to acquire Company Common Stock or appreciation rights with respect to shares of Company Common Stock (“Options”) granted to Executive following the Effective Date and held by Executive as of the Date of Termination that would have become vested (by lapse of time) within the twenty-four (24) month period immediately following the Date of Termination had Executive remained employed during such period will become immediately vested as of the Date of Termination;

and (2) If the Date of Termination occurs after the first year of a Performance Cycle, a portion of the total shares of Company Common Stock subject to such award, pro-rated based on the number of days elapsed in the Performance Cycle as of the Date of Termination (it being understood that proration shall not apply if the Date of Termination occurs after the end of the Performance Cycle but prior to the settlement date of the award), shall vest based on actual performance at the end of the full Performance Cycle, and such award shall be settled no later than two and one-half (2½) months after the end of the Performance Cycle (or any later date required by § 409A of the Code); provided, however, if Executive is Retirement-eligible on the Date of Termination, such Performance Restricted Stock shall be treated in accordance with § 8(d)(v)(1) and not this § 8(a)(x); and (xi) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company will timely pay or provide to Executive pursuant to the timing rules of the controlling terms of any plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement of the Company any other amounts or benefits, including but not limited to, previously earned but unpaid annual incentive awards, previously earned but unpaid long-term incentive awards, and properly documented and approved but unpaid business expenses, required to be paid or provided or which Executive is eligible to receive under any such plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Other Benefits”);
