Term; Termination; Rights on Termination The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date hereof and continue for three (3) years, and, unless terminated sooner as herein provided, shall continue thereafter on a year-to-year basis on the same terms and conditions contained herein in effect as of the time of renewal (such initial three year period and any extensions thereof being referred to herein as the "Term"). This Agreement and Employee's employment may be terminated in any one of the following ways:
Rights on Termination (a) If during the Service Term Executive’s employment is terminated under Section 5 above (x) by the Company without Cause or (y) by Executive with Good Reason, then:
(i) The Company shall pay to Executive, at the times specified in Section 6(a)(vii) below, the following amounts (the “Severance Payments”):
(1) the Accrued Obligation;
(2) Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the effective date of the termination of Executive’s employment (the “Termination Date”) for periods following his Separation From Service, to the extent not theretofore paid;
(3) a lump sum in cash equal to the product of (x) 1/12 of the amount of the Annual Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date and (y) 12; and
(4) a lump sum in cash equal to the product of (x) the monthly basic life insurance premium applicable to Executive’s basic life insurance coverage immediately prior to the Termination Date and (y) 12. Executive may, at his option, convert his basic life insurance coverage to an individual policy after the Termination Date by completing the forms required by the Company for this purpose.
(ii) The Company will pay, when due and payable under the Annual Bonus plan, the pro rata portion, if any, of Executive’s Annual Bonus earned up until such Termination Date.
(iii) Subject to clause (iv), for 12 months following the Termination Date the Company shall arrange to provide Executive and his dependents medical insurance benefits substantially similar to those provided to Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the Termination Date (at no greater cost to Executive than such cost to Executive in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date, or, if greater, the cost to similarly situated active employees of the Company under the applicable group health plan of the Company). Except for any reimbursements under the applicable group health plan that are subject to a limitation on reimbursements during a specified period, the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Section 6(a)(iii), or in-kind benefits provided, during Executive’s taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year of Executive. Executive’s right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits pursuant to this Section 6(a)(iii) shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. To the extent that the payments or reimbursements made pursuant to this Section 6(a)(iii) are taxable to Executive and are not otherwise exempt from Section 409A, if Executive is a Specified Employee, any amounts to which Executive would otherwise be entitled under this Section 6(a)(iii) during the first six months following the date of Executive’s Separation From Service shall be accumulated and paid to Executive on the date that is six months following the date of his Separation From Service.
(iv) Subject to Executive’s group health plan coverage continuation rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, the benefits listed in clause (iii) of this Section 6(a) shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received by or made available to Executive during such period, and provided, further, that Executive shall have the obligation to notify the Company that he is entitled to or receiving such benefits.
(v) Payments and benefits provided to Executive under this Section 6 (other than Accrued Obligations) are contingent upon Executive’s execution of a release substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.
(vi) Executive shall not be permitted to specify the taxable year in which a payment described in this Section 6 shall be made to him.
(vii) The Company shall pay Executive the amounts specified in Section 6(a)(i)(1) within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date. The Company shall pay to Executive the amounts specified in Sections 6(a)(i)(2), (3) and (4) on the date that is six months following the date of Executive’s Separation From Service. Further, the Company shall pay to Executive, on the date that is six months following Executive’s Separation From Service, an additional interest amount equal to the amount of interest that would be earned on the amounts specified in Sections 6(a)(i)(2), (3) and (4) and, to the extent subject to a mandatory six-month delay in payment, the amounts specified in Section 6(a)(iii), for the period commencing on the date of Executive’s Separation From Service until the date of payment of such amounts, calculated using an interest rate equal to the six month U.S. Treasury Rate in effect on the date of Executive’s Separation From Service.
(b) If the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause, if Executive dies or is disabled (as defined in Section 5(c) above), or if Executive resigns without Good Reason, the Company’s obligations to pay any compensation or benefits under this Agreement will cease effective as of the Termination Date and the Company shall pay to Executive the Accrued Obligation within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date. The Company shall pay to Executive his Annual Base Salary for periods following his Separation From Service, to the extent not theretofore paid, within thirty (30) days following his Separation From Service if he is not a Specified Employee or on the date that is six months following his Separation From Service if he is a Specified Employee. Following such payments, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive other than as may be required by law or the terms of an employee benefit plan of the Company.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligation to Executive for Severance Payments or other rights under either Sections 6(a) or (b) above shall cease if Executive is in violation of the provisions of Sections 8 or 9 below.
(d) If the Executive retires at age 65 or older the Company shall pay the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the retirement date and shall also pay when due and payable under the Annual Bonus plan the pro rata portion of any Annual Bonus that may have been earned by the Executive through the retirement date. No other amounts will be payable by the Company.
Duties on Termination If the Executive's termination of employment with the Company occurs during the Employment Period, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the period beginning on the date of delivery of a notice of termination, and ending on the date of termination, the Executive shall continue to perform his duties as set forth in this Agreement, and shall also perform such services for the Company as are necessary and appropriate for a smooth transition to the Executive's successor, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 8, the Company may suspend the Executive from performing his duties under this Agreement following the delivery of a notice of termination providing for the Executive's resignation, or delivery by the Company of a notice of termination providing for the Executive's termination of employment for any reason; provided, however, that during the period of suspension (which shall end on the Executive's date termination), the Executive shall continue to be treated as employed by the Company for other purposes, and his rights to compensation or benefits shall not be reduced by reason of the suspension.
Compensation and Benefits Upon Termination (a) The Company’s obligation to compensate Executive ceases on the Termination Date except as to: (i) any unpaid Base Salary earned by Executive as of that time; (ii) any unpaid amount actually earned and due to Executive pursuant to the MIP; (iii) any business expenses for which Executive is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement; and (iv) any compensation and/or benefits to which Executive may be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 6.
(b) If the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive resigns for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay Executive the payments referenced above in Subsections 6(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) (collectively, the “Accrued Payments”). In addition, subject to Executive’s compliance with Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 of this Agreement and subject to the requirements of Section 6(e) below: (i) the Company will pay Executive an amount equal to his/her Base Salary as of the Termination Date for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, payable through the Company’s regular payroll procedures (the “Severance Pay”) commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date (with the first payment including a catch-up payment for any Base Salary that would have otherwise been paid as Severance Pay during such sixty (60) day period); and (ii) if Executive timely elects continued health insurance coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company shall, on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, reimburse Executive for the entire amount of any premiums paid by Executive prior to such date necessary to continue such COBRA coverage for Executive and Executive’s covered spouse and eligible dependents and thereafter the Company shall pay the entire premium necessary to continue such coverage, in each case, until the earlier of (A) the expiration of the eighteen (18) month period following the Termination Date, or (B) the date on which Executive becomes eligible for group health insurance coverage under another employer’s plan, notice of which Executive shall promptly provide the Company.
(c) If the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause or if the Executive terminates his/her employment without Good Reason, or if Executive’s employment ends due to his/her death, then the Company’s sole obligation shall be to pay Executive (or his/her estate) only the Accrued Payments.
(d) If the Company terminates Executive’s employment due to Disability or upon Executive’s death, the Company shall pay Executive or his/her estate, in addition to any short term or long term disability benefits that he/she may have received and/or be entitled to receive, the Accrued Payments. In addition, Executive shall be eligible to receive payment of the Target Bonus as set forth in Section 3(b) above, subject to the terms of the MIP and to the extent actually earned for the fiscal year in which such termination takes place, prorated based on the number of days in such fiscal year that Executive was employed prior to the Termination Date, to be paid in accordance with the timing set forth in Section 3(b) (or if later, the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date).
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligation to make any payments or to provide any benefits under Sections 6(b) or Section 6(d) above is subject to and conditioned upon Executive’s execution of an enforceable release and waiver of claims agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company (the “Release Agreement”) and his/her compliance with the covenants in Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 of this Agreement. If Executive chooses not to timely execute such Release Agreement, revokes the Release Agreement, or fails to comply with the covenants in Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 of this Agreement, then the Company’s obligation to compensate him/her ceases on the effective Termination Date except as to the Accrued Payments. The Release Agreement shall be provided to Executive within seven (7) days of the Termination Date and Executive must execute it within the twenty-one (21) or forty-five (45) day time period specified in the Release Agreement. The Release Agreement and any payments due following its execution by Executive shall not be effective until any applicable revocation period has expired.
(f) Executive is not entitled to receive any compensation or benefits upon his/her termination except as: (i) set forth in this Agreement, (ii) otherwise required by applicable law, or (iii) otherwise specifically required by any employee benefit plan of the Company in which he/she participates. Moreover, the terms and conditions provided to Executive under this Agreement are in lieu of any severance benefits to which he/she otherwise might be entitled pursuant to any severance plan, policy and practice of the Company and or any of its affiliates. Nothing in this Agreement however, is intended to waive or supplant any accrued death, disability, accidental death and dismemberment, retirement 401 (k) or pension benefits of the Company to which he/she may be entitled under employee benefit plans of the Company in which he/she participates.
(g) If, within the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control, as defined below, Executive is terminated without Cause or he/she resigns for Good Reason, but in either case subject to the provisions of Section 6(e) above, Executive shall, in addition to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 6(b), be entitled to a lump sum payment, payable on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, equal to the greater of: (A) fifty percent (50%) of Executive’s then Base Salary, or (B) his/her Target Bonus under the MIP. A “Change in Control,” as defined herein solely for purposes of this Agreement, shall mean: (i) any merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving the Company, in which, immediately after giving effect to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, less than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of outstanding stock of the surviving or resulting entity is then “beneficially owned” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1943, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) in the aggregate by the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger consolidation or reorganization; (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other person or entity (other than to one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company) in a transaction or a series of related transactions; (iii) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (iv) when any person or entity not currently a stockholder, including a “group” as contemplated by Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, acquires or gains ownership or control (including, without limitation, power to vote) of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s voting stock (based upon voting power); or (v) as a result of or in connection with a contested election of directors, the persons who were directors of the Company before such election shall cease to constitute a majority of the Company’s Board.
Compensation on Termination An Employee whose services have been terminated for any cause and who within three (3) months of separation is diagnosed by a physician as having tuberculosis, shall be entitled to the above compensation and the salary rate shall be based on the salary he was receiving at the time his services were terminated. The benefits of this provision may be extended for an additional three (3) months, provided that the former Employee concerned submits a x-ray plate taken within three (3) months after the termination of employment.
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.
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, Retirement 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:

(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 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.
