Definition of Accrued Obligations For purposes of this Agreement, “Accrued Obligations” means: (i) the portion of Executive’s Base Salary that has accrued prior to any termination of Executive’s employment with Company and has not yet been paid; and (ii) the amount of any expenses properly incurred by Executive on behalf of Company prior to any such termination and not yet reimbursed. Executive’s entitlement to any other compensation or benefit under any plan of Company shall be governed by and determined in accordance with the terms of such plans, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement.
Timing of Reimbursements and In-kind Benefits If Executive is entitled to be paid or reimbursed for any taxable expenses under this Agreement, and such payments or reimbursements are includible in Executive’s federal gross taxable income, the amount of such expenses reimbursable in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount reimbursable in any other calendar year, and the reimbursement of an eligible expense must be made no later than December 31 of the year after the year in which the expense was incurred. No right of Executive to reimbursement of expenses under this Agreement shall be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
Other Payments and Benefits On any termination of employment, including, without limitation, termination due to the Employee’s death or Disability (as defined in Section 10) or for Cause, the Employee shall receive any accrued but unpaid salary, reimbursement of any business or other expenses incurred prior to termination of employment but for which the Employee had not received reimbursement, and any other rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be due the Employee in accordance with the terms and provisions of any agreements, plans or programs of the Company (but in no event shall the Employee be entitled to duplicative rights, compensation and/or benefits).
Termination Payments and Benefits If during a Change in Control Period, as defined in Section 8, the Employment Period of the Executive shall terminate other than by reason of a Nonqualifying Termination, as defined in Section 8, then the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or his executor, administrator or other legal representative, as the case may be) within 30 days following the Termination Date, as compensation for services rendered to the Company and in lieu of any severance amounts which otherwise would be payable to the Executive, the following amounts:
(i) the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum cash amount equal to the sum of (A) the Executive's Base Compensation, accrued vacation pay and reimbursable expenses incurred through the Termination Date, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid, (B) the Executive's annual bonus in an amount equal to the annualized (for any fiscal year consisting of less than 12 full months or with respect to which the Executive has been employed by the Company for less than 12 full months) bonus payable to the Executive by the Company for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs (determined at the higher of the target or actual level of performance for such year), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year in which the termination occurs prior to the Termination Date and the denominator of which is 365 or 366, as applicable, (C) three times the Executive's highest annual rate of Base Compensation during the three full fiscal years prior to the Termination Date, (D) three times the greater of (I) the Executive's highest annual bonus payable during the three full fiscal years prior to the Termination Date and (II) the target bonus payable for the year in which the Termination Date occurs and (E) all accruals under the Zenith Electronics Corporation Supplemental Salaried Profit Sharing Retirement Plan; (ii) for a period of three years commencing on the Termination Date, or until such earlier date on which the Executive becomes covered under similar plans maintained by a subsequent employer, the Company shall continue to provide the Executive and his dependents with coverage, or shall provide substantially equivalent coverage, under all welfare benefit plans or arrangements (including group medical and dental, health and accident, long-term disability, short-term disability, group life insurance and executive insurance programs) with the same level of coverage, upon the same terms and otherwise to the same extent as such plans or arrangements shall have been in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as provided generally with respect to other peer executives of the Company. If the Company cannot provide such continued coverage or substantially equivalent coverage, the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum cash amount equal to the present value of such coverage; and
(iii) the Company shall provide outplacement services appropriate for the Executive in accordance with industry standards (which shall not exceed 15% of the Executive's Base Compensation).
PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION (a) If within eighteen (18) months after a Change in Control, the Company terminates Employee’s employment other than by reason of Employee’s death, Disability or for Cause, or if Employee terminates Employee’s employment for Good Reason, then the Employee shall be entitled to the following payments and benefits:
(i) The Company shall pay to Employee as compensation for services rendered, no later than five (5) business days following the date of termination, a lump sum severance payment equal to 2.50 multiplied by the sum of (A) Employee’s Base Salary, (B) the highest annual bonus that was paid to Employee in any of the three fiscal years ending prior to the date of termination under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”), and (C) the highest cash bonus for a performance period of more than one fiscal year that was paid to Employee in any of the three fiscal years ending prior to the date of termination under the MIP.
(ii) The Company shall pay to Employee as compensation for services rendered, no later than five (5) business days following the date of termination, a lump sum payment equal to a pro rata portion (based on the number of days elapsed during the fiscal year and/or other bonus performance period in which the termination occurs) of Employee’s target bonus under the MIP for the fiscal year and for any other partially completed bonus performance period in which the termination occurs.
(iii) All waiting periods for the exercise of any stock options granted to Employee and all conditions or restrictions of any restricted stock granted to Employee shall terminate, and all such options shall be exercisable in full according to their terms, and the restricted stock shall be transferred to Employee as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
(iv) Employee’s participation as of the date of termination in the life, medical/dental/vision and disability insurance plans and financial/tax counseling plan of the Company shall be continued on the same terms (including any cost sharing) as if Employee were an employee of the Company (or equivalent benefits shall be provided) until the earlier of Employee’s commencement of substantially equivalent full-time employment with a new employer or twenty- four (24) months after the date of termination; provided, however, that after the date of termination, Employee shall no longer be entitled to receive Company-paid executive physicals or, upon expiration of the applicable memberships, Company-paid airline memberships. In the event Employee shall die before the expiration of the period during which the Company is required to continue Employee’s participation in such insurance plans, the participation of Employee’s surviving spouse and family in the Company’s insurance plans shall continue throughout such period.
(v) Employee may elect upon termination to purchase any automobile then in the possession of Employee and subject to a lease of which the Company is the lessor by payment to the Company of the residual value set forth in the lease, without any increase for remaining lease payments during the term or other lease breakage costs. Employee may elect to have any such payment deducted from any payments due the Employee hereunder.
(vi) The entire balance credited to Employee’s account under the Company’s Supplemental Retirement Plan shall, no later than five (5) business days following the date of termination, be paid lump sum in cash to Employee.
(vii) The termination of Employee’s employment with the Company shall constitute a “retirement” from the Company for purposes of all Company compensation and benefits plans and programs to the extent Employee is otherwise eligible for “retirement” as defined by the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control.
(viii) All payments and benefits provided under this Agreement shall be subject to applicable tax withholding.
(b) Following Employee’s termination of employment for any reason, the Company shall have the unconditional right to reduce any payments owed to Employee hereunder by the amount of any due and unpaid principal and interest on any loans by the Company to Employee and Employee hereby agrees and consents to such right on the part of the Company.
Payment of accrued interest In the case of an Interest Period longer than 3 months, accrued interest shall be paid every 3 months during that Interest Period and on the last day of that Interest Period.
Release Prior to Payment of Benefits Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Termination or a Covered Termination, as applicable, and prior to the provision or payment of any benefits under this Agreement on account of such Change in Control Termination or Covered Termination, as applicable, Executive must execute a general waiver and release in substantially the form attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, Exhibit B, or Exhibit C, as appropriate (each a “Release”), and such Release must become effective in accordance with its terms, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the Termination Date. No amount shall be paid prior to such date. The Company may modify the Release in its discretion to comply with changes in applicable law at any time prior to Executive’s execution of such Release. Such Release shall specifically relate to all of Executive’s rights and claims in existence at the time of such execution and shall confirm Executive’s obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement and any similar obligations under applicable law. It is understood that, as specified in the applicable Release, Executive has a certain number of calendar days to consider whether to execute such Release. If Executive does not execute and deliver such Release within the applicable period, no benefits shall be provided or payable under, and Executive shall have no further rights, title or interests in or to any severance benefits or payments pursuant to this Agreement. It is further understood that if Executive is age 40 or older at the time of a Change in Control Termination or a Covered Termination, as applicable, Executive may revoke the applicable Release within seven (7) calendar days after its execution by Executive. If Executive revokes such Release within such subsequent seven (7) day period, no benefits shall be provided or payable under this Agreement pursuant to such Change in Control Termination or Covered Termination, as applicable.
Reimbursements and In-Kind Benefits Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that (A) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement); (B) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; (C) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred; and (D) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(a) Pay the Executive a lump-sum payment in cash no later than ten (10) business days after the date of Termination equal to the sum of:
(i) The sum of: (A) the Executive’s base salary through and including the date of Termination and any bonus amounts which have become payable, to the extent either has not theretofore been paid; (B) a pro rata portion of the Executive’s annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the date of Termination occurs in an amount equal to: (1) the Executive’s Bonus Amount (as defined below), multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year in which the date of Termination occurs through and including the date of Termination, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365); (C) accrued and unpaid vacation pay through and including the date of Termination; and (D) unreimbursed business expenses through and including the date of Termination;

(iii) An amount equal to the product of the Applicable Multiple and the Executive’s Bonus Amount; Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph 6(a), with respect to any amounts which constitute a deferral of compensation subject to Code Section 409A and provided the Executive is a “Specified Employee” (as defined under Code Section 409A), such amounts shall be paid to the Executive on the date which is six (6) months after his or her date of Separation from Service.
(b) Continue to provide the Executive (and, if applicable, the Executive’s dependents), for a twenty-four (24) month period following the date of Termination, with the same level of benefits described in paragraph 4(d) of this Agreement upon substantially the same terms and conditions (including contributions required by the Executive for such benefits) as existed immediately prior to the date of Termination (or, if more favorable to the Executive, as such benefits and terms and conditions existed immediately prior to the Change of Control), provided, that if the Executive cannot continue to participate in the Company plans providing such benefits, the Company shall otherwise provide such benefits on the same after-tax basis as if continued participation had been permitted, and further provided the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during the Executive’s taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year.
