Reemployment Rights Subject to the availability of a vacant position for which he/she is qualified, the laid off employee has the right to reemployment over outside candidates.

Termination for Good Reason or Without Cause If the Executive's employment hereunder is terminated by the Employer other than for cause (and other than a termination due to disability or death) or by the Executive for good reason, the Employer shall pay or provide to or on behalf of the Executive the following:
(i) the Executive's Salary for the remainder, if any, of the calendar month in which such termination is effective and (A) in the case of such an employment termination on or before the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date, twenty-four (24) consecutive calendar months, or (B) in the case of such an employment termination after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date, eighteen (18) consecutive calendar months thereafter, but in no event shall the period described in clause (A) or (B) above extend beyond the Executive's death (the "severance period"); provided however, that if the Executive obtains other employment prior to the end of the severance period, he must promptly give notice thereof to the Employer, and continued Salary payments under this Agreement for any period after the Executive obtains other employment will be reduced by the amount of the cash compensation received and to be received by the Executive from the Executive's other employment for services performed during such period.
(ii) the portion of the Executive's Annual Incentive Compensation under Section 3.2(a) that otherwise would have been payable based on the then current actual performance, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the number of days from January 1st of the calendar year in which such termination occurs until the date of the Executive's employment termination, and (B) the denominator of which is 365.
(iii) subject to the Executive's continued co-payment of premiums, continued participation during the severance period in all medical plans that cover the Executive (and his eligible dependents) upon the same terms and conditions (except for the requirement of the Executive's continued employment) in effect for active employees of the Employer during the severance period.
