Salary; Bonus. If the employment of Executive by the Company is terminated without Cause (as defined below), Executive shall continue to receive from the Company payment of Executive's base salary for a period of nine months following the date of termination of Executive's employment (the "TERMINATION DATE"). Such payments of base salary shall be payable to Executive semi-monthly in arrears. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean only that (i) Executive has refused to perform or discharge his material obligations or duties hereunder for 30 days after notice from the Board of such refusal, or (ii) Executive has engaged in illegal or other wrongful conduct substantially detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company. In addition to the foregoing, if the employment of Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause at any time during a fourth fiscal quarter of the Company, the Company shall also pay to Executive in a single payment within 60 days of the end of the Company's fiscal year a "Pro Rata Portion of the Bonus." "Pro Rata Portion of the Bonus" means an amount equal to any bonus to which Executive would have been entitled had Executive remained an employee for the balance of the fiscal year in which his employment terminated multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from February 1 to the date of Executive's termination, and the denominator of which is 365. It shall be a condition to the obligations of the Company to make the payments and provide the other benefits required hereunder, that Executive execute and deliver to the Company an Unconditional Release Agreement with the Company in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A (the "RELEASE AGREEMENT") and that, thereafter, no revocation of the release of age discrimination claims be made by Executive.
