Benefits Upon Termination of Employment If the Executive is entitled to benefits pursuant to this Section 2, the Company agrees to pay or provide to the Executive as severance payment, the following:
(i) A single lump sum payment, payable in cash within five days of the Termination Date (or if later, the Change of Control Date), equal to the sum of:
(A) the accrued portion of any of the Executive's unpaid base salary and vacation through the Termination Date and any unpaid portion of the Executive's bonus for the prior fiscal year; plus

(ii) Continuation, on the same basis as if the Executive continued to be employed by the Company, of Benefits for the Benefit Period commencing on the Termination Date. The Company's obligation hereunder with respect to the foregoing Benefits shall be limited to the extent that the Executive obtains any such benefits pursuant to a subsequent employer's benefit plans, in which case the Company may reduce the coverage of any Benefits it is required to provide the Executive hereunder as long as the aggregate coverages and benefits of the combined benefit plans is no less favorable to the Executive than the Benefits required to be provided hereunder.
(iii) Outplacement services to be provided by an outplacement organization of national repute, which shall include the provision of office space and equipment (including telephone and personal computer) but in no event shall the Company be required to provide such services for a value exceeding 17% of the Executive's Base Compensation.
(iv) Accelerated vesting of all outstanding stock options and of all previously granted restricted stock awards.
(v) Target amounts that would have accrued under the MagneTek Shareholder Return Plan had the applicable period for each such target elapsed, calculated and paid, PRO RATA, for the actual period elapsed.

Vacation Credits Upon Death Earned but unused vacation entitlement shall be made payable, upon termination due to death, to the employee's dependent, or where there is no dependent, to the employee's estate.
Termination of Benefits Except as provided in Section 2 above or as may be required by law, Executive’s participation in all employee benefit (pension and welfare) and compensation plans of the Company shall cease as of the Termination Date. Nothing contained herein shall limit or otherwise impair Executive’s right to receive pension or similar benefit payments that are vested as of the Termination Date under any applicable tax-qualified pension or other plans, pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan.
Payments Upon Termination of Employment (a) If during the Termination Period the employment of the Executive shall terminate, other than by reason of a Nonqualifying Termination, then the Company shall pay to the Executive (or the Executive's beneficiary or estate) within 30 days following the Date of Termination, as compensation for services rendered to the Company:

(b) For a period of eighteen months commencing on the Date of Termination, the Company shall continue to keep in full force and effect all policies of medical, accident, disability and life insurance with respect to the Executive and his dependents with the same level of coverage, upon the same terms and otherwise to the same extent as such policies shall have been in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination and the Company shall pay all costs of the continuation of such insurance coverage.

Post-Retirement Benefits The present value of the expected cost of post-retirement medical and insurance benefits payable by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to its employees and former employees, as estimated by the Borrower in accordance with procedures and assumptions deemed reasonable by the Required Lenders is zero.
Benefits Upon Termination (a) In lieu of any severance that may otherwise be payable to the Executive pursuant to any policies of the Company, whether existing on the date hereof or in effect from time to time hereafter, in the event that the Company terminates the Executive’s employment pursuant to a Termination Without Cause, the Company shall pay the Executive severance payments in an amount equal to 2.0 times the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment. The severance amount shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s payroll over the two year period following the Executive’s termination of employment (the “Severance Period”). Such severance payments shall commence within 60 days after the effective date of the termination, subject to (i) the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a written release of all claims against the Company and all related parties with respect to all matters arising out of the Executive’s employment by the Company, or the termination thereof, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”), and (ii) the Executive’s continued compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 7 and 8 below. The Executive also shall be entitled to any earned but unpaid Base Salary as of the effective date of termination of employment. No other payments shall be made, or benefits provided, by the Company under this Agreement except as otherwise required by law or the Company’s benefit plans.
(b) In the event that the Company terminates the Executive’s employment pursuant to a Permanent Disability, the Company shall pay the Executive any earned but unpaid Base Salary as of the date of termination of employment. No other payments shall be made, or benefits provided, by the Company under this Agreement except as otherwise required by law or the Company’s benefit plans.
(c) In the event that the Company terminates the Executive’s employment pursuant to a Termination for Cause or the Executive terminates his employment with the Company for any reason (including, without limitation, pursuant to any retirement), the Company shall pay the Executive any earned but unpaid Base Salary as of the date of termination of employment. No other payments shall be made, or benefits provided, by the Company under this Agreement or otherwise except to the extent required by law or the Company’s benefit plans.
(d) In the event that the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated due to the Executive’s death, the Company shall pay the Executive’s executor or other legal representative (the “Representative”) any earned but unpaid Base Salary as of the date of termination of employment. No other payments shall be made, or benefits provided, by the Company whether under this Agreement or otherwise except to the extent required by law or the Company’s benefit plans.
(e) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the severance payments to be made to him hereunder and if the Executive obtains other employment while receiving severance payments hereunder he shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.
Death, Retirement or Disability Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death or Retirement during the Employment Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean normal retirement as defined in the Company’s then-current retirement plan, or if there is no such retirement plan, “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination after age 65 with ten years of service. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to Executive written notice of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such written notice by Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean a mental or physical disability as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with standards and procedures similar to those under the Company’s employee long-term disability plan, if any. At any time that the Company does not maintain such a long-term disability plan, “Disability” shall mean the inability of Executive, as determined by the Board, to perform the essential functions of his regular duties and responsibilities, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a medically determinable physical or mental condition which has lasted (or can reasonably be expected to last) for twelve workweeks in any twelve-month period. At the request of Executive or his personal representative, the Board’s determination that the Disability of Executive has occurred shall be certified by two physicians mutually agreed upon by Executive, or his personal representative, and the Company. Failing such independent certification (if so requested by Executive), Executive’s termination shall be deemed a termination by the Company without Cause and not a termination by reason of his Disability.
Upon Death or Disability If the Executive dies, all provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement (other than rights or benefits arising as a result of such death) and the Employment Term shall be automatically terminated; provided, however, that an amount equal to the earned and unpaid Incentive Payments to the date of death and the Standard Termination Payments shall be paid to the Executive’s surviving spouse or, if none, the Executive’s estate (as set forth above), and the death benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans shall be paid to the Executive’s beneficiary or beneficiaries as properly designated in writing by the Executive. If the Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s job under this Agreement, with or without reasonable accommodation, by reason of physical or mental disability or incapacity (“Disability”) and such disability or incapacity shall have continued for any period aggregating six months within any 12 consecutive months, the Company may terminate this Agreement and the Employment Term at any time thereafter. In such event, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Executive’s normal compensation hereunder during said time of disability or incapacity, and shall thereafter be entitled to receive the “Disability Incentive Payment” (as described in the penultimate sentence of this subsection (b)) and the Standard Termination Payments (as set forth above). The portion of the payment representing the Disability Incentive Payment shall be paid in a lump sum determined on a net present value basis, using a reasonable discount rate determined by the Board. The Disability Incentive Payment shall be equal to the target Incentive Payment that the Executive would have been eligible to receive for the year in which the Employment Term is terminated multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year before and including the day of termination of the Employment Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such year. Subject to Section 19 below, the Disability Incentive Payment shall be payable in a lump sum on the 60th day after termination of the Executive’s employment.
Pre-Retirement Death Benefit (a) Normal form of payment. If (i) the Director dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 4.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement death benefits. The balance of the Director=s Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the later of (i) the Director=s death, or (ii) the date any final lump sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefits shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director=s death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director=s Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director=s Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director=s Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director=s Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director=s death. Such lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice. The Director=s Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the later of (i) the Director's death or (ii) the date any final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable to the Director's Beneficiary for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director=s death, or if later, within thirty (30) days after any final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account in accordance with Subsection 2.1(c).
