Termination as a Result of Executive’s Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by reason of Executive’s Disability (as hereinafter defined) or death, Executive’s (or Executive’s estate’s) right to benefits under this Agreement will terminate as of the date of such termination and all of the Company’s obligations hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate, except that Executive or Executive’s estate, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive accrued Base Salary and benefits through the date of termination. As used herein, Executive’s Disability shall have the meaning set forth in any long-term disability plan in which Executive participates, and in the absence thereof shall mean that, due to physical or mental illness, Executive shall have failed to perform his duties on a full-time basis hereunder for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days and shall not have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder on a full-time basis before the end of such period, and if Disability has occurred termination shall occur within thirty (30) days after written notice of termination is given (which notice may be given before the end of the one hundred eighty (180) day period described above so as to cause termination of employment to occur as early as the last day of such period).
