Superannuation 13.1 The Employer shall contribute, on behalf of the Employee, superannuation to a fund that will be nominated by the Employer, in accordance with the requirements of the relevant, prevailing superannuation legislation.
COBRA Severance As an additional Severance Benefit, the Company will continue to pay the cost of your health care coverage in effect at the time of your Separation from Service for a maximum of twelve (12) months, either under the Company’s regular health plan (if permitted), or by paying your COBRA premiums (the “COBRA Severance”). The Company’s obligation to pay the COBRA Severance on your behalf will cease if you obtain health care coverage from another source (e.g., a new employer or spouse’s benefit plan), unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law. You must notify the Company within two (2) weeks if you obtain coverage from a new source. This payment of COBRA Severance by the Company would not expand or extend the maximum period of COBRA coverage to which you would otherwise be entitled under applicable law. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing COBRA Severance without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to you a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that you would be required to pay to continue your group health coverage in effect on the date of your termination (which amount shall be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments shall be made on the last day of each month regardless of whether you elect COBRA continuation coverage and shall end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which you obtain other coverage or (y) the last day of the twelfth (12th) calendar month following your Separation from Service date.
Termination Severance (a) If (i) Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or (ii) if a Change in Control of the Company occurs and Employee’s employment with the Company or its successor Terminates In Connection With a Change in Control and in the absence of any event or circumstance constituting Cause, then, in either case: (A) Employee will be entitled to receive from the Company an amount in severance equal to one year of Employee’s then-current base salary (the “Severance Amount”). The Severance Amount will be paid in a lump sum promptly after Employee has executed and delivered to the Company a mutual release, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, of all claims arising in connection with Employee’s employment with the Company and termination thereof; (B) Employee will be entitled to receive, for a period of 12 full calendar months from the date of his termination (the “Termination Date”), medical and dental benefits coverage for Employee and/or his dependents through the Company’s available plans at the time and the Company will be responsible to continue payment of all applicable deductions for premium costs. After the Company’s obligation to pay the premiums for health and dental coverage Employee and/or his dependents will be eligible to continue plan participation under COBRA; and (C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the option plan pursuant to which Employee’s options were granted, all options granted to Employee prior to the Termination Date (the “Options”) shall automatically vest and become fully exercisable as of the Termination Date notwithstanding any vesting or performance conditions applicable thereto, and such Options shall remain exercisable for (i) one year following the Termination Date or (ii) if the plan or grant agreement pursuant to which certain Options were granted provides that such Options will be exercisable for a period longer than one year in circumstances where Employee is terminated without Cause or Employee’s employment Terminates In Connection With a Change in Control, then such longer exercise period shall apply with respect to such Options; provided that, in either case, (A) in no event will Options be exercisable beyond the duration of the original term thereof and (B) if the Options qualify as an incentive stock option under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations thereunder, the exercise period thereof shall not be extended in such a manner as to cause the Options to cease to qualify as an incentive stock option unless Executive elects to forego incentive stock option treatment and extend the exercise period thereof as provided herein.
Superannuation fund Unless, to comply with superannuation legislation, the employer is required to make the superannuation contributions provided for in Clause 24(b) to another superannuation fund that is chosen by the employee, the employer must make the superannuation contributions provided for in Clause 24(b) and pay the amount authorised under Clauses 24(d)(i) or 24(d)(ii) to one of the following superannuation funds: (i) Health Employees Superannuation Trust of Australia (HESTA); (ii) any superannuation fund to which the employer was making superannuation contributions for the benefit of its employees before 12 September 2008, provided the superannuation fund is an eligible choice fund and is a fund that offers a MySuper product or is an exempt public sector scheme.
Standard Company Benefits Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit programs for which Executive is eligible under the terms and conditions of the benefit plans that may be in effect from time to time and provided by the Company to its employees. The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans or programs it offers to its employees at any time.
Salary Severance A single, lump sum payment equal to twelve (12) months of the Executive’s Salary, less applicable withholdings.

Severance Payments 5.1 The Company shall pay the Executive the payments described in this Section 5.1 ("Severance Payments") upon the termination of the Executive's employment following a Change in Control during the term of this Agreement, including the Executive's termination of employment for Good Reason, unless such termination is (a) by the Company for Cause, or (b) by reason of the Executive's Death or Disability. The Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control by the Company without Cause if the Executive's employment is terminated prior to a Change in Control without Cause at the direction (or action which constitutes a direction) of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which will constitute a Change in Control. (i) Within three (3) business days after the Date of Termination, the Company shall make a lump sum or monthly, at the Executive's option, cash severance payment to the Executive in an amount equal to: (x) the Executive's annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the event or circumstance upon which the Notice of Termination is based or in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; and (y) a pro-rated portion of Executive's Targeted Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs. (ii) For a twelve (12) month period after the Date of Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive with medical and dental insurance benefits substantially similar to those that the Executive is receiving immediately prior to the Notice of Termination. Benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 5.1(ii) shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are actually received by or made available to the Executive without cost during the twelve (12) month period following the Executive's termination of employment (and any such benefits actually received by the Executive shall be reported to the Company by the Executive). 5.2 The Company also shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive in disputing the non-payment of Severance Payments in connection with a termination which entitles the Executive to Severance Payments. Such payments shall be made within five (5) business days after delivery of the Executive's written request for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses incurred as the Company reasonably may require.
Severance Pay Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 62 (Severance Pay) of this Agreement, where the period of continuous employment in respect of which severance benefit is to be paid consists of both full and part-time employment or varying levels of part-time employment, the benefit shall be calculated as follows: the period of continuous employment eligible for severance pay shall be established and the part-time portions shall be consolidated to equivalent full-time. The equivalent full-time period in years shall be multiplied by the full-time weekly pay rate for the appropriate group and level to produce the severance pay benefit.
Vacation Benefits During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible for 20 vacation days annually, which shall be accrued and used in accordance with the applicable policies of the Company. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in such medical, dental and life insurance, retirement and other plans as the Company may have or establish from time to time on terms and conditions applicable to other senior executives of the Company generally. The foregoing, however, shall not be construed to require the Company to establish any such plans or to prevent the modification or termination of such plans once established.
