Termination by Reason of Death or Disability A Termination of the Employee’s employment by reason of death or Disability shall not be deemed to be a Termination by the Company (for or without Cause) or by the Employee (for or without Good Reason). In the event that the Employee’s employment with the Company Terminates as a result of the Employee’s death or Disability, the Employee or the Employee’s estate or representative, as applicable, will receive all accrued salary and accrued vacation as of the date of the Employee’s death or Disability and any other benefits payable under the Company’s then existing benefit plans and policies in accordance with such plans and policies in effect on the date of death or Disability and in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Employee or the Employee’s estate or representative, as applicable, will receive the bonus for the year in which the death or Disability occurs to the extent that a bonus would have been earned had the Employee continued in employment through the end of such year, as determined in good faith by the Company’s CEO, Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee based on the specific corporate and individual performance targets established for such fiscal year, and only to the extent that bonuses are paid for such fiscal year to other similarly situated employees.
Termination by Virtue of Death or Disability of Executive (a) In the event of Executive’s death while employed pursuant to this Agreement, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate immediately, in accordance with Section 6.6, and the Company shall, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, pay to Executive’s legal representatives all Accrued Obligations.
(b) Subject to applicable state and federal law, the Company shall at all times have the right, upon written notice to Executive, and in accordance with Section 6.6, to terminate this Agreement based on Executive’s Disability.

This definition shall be interpreted and applied consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and other applicable law. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated based on Executive’s Disability, Executive will not receive Severance Benefits, Change in Control Severance Benefits, or any other severance compensation or benefit, except that, pursuant to the Company’s standard payroll policies, the Company shall pay to Executive the Accrued Obligations.

In the event of such termination, the Company’s sole obligations hereunder to the Executive (or the Executive’s estate) shall be for unpaid Base Salary, accrued but unpaid bonus and benefits (then owed or accrued and owed in the future), a pro-rata bonus for the year of termination based on the Executive’s target bonus for such year and the portion of such year in which the Executive was employed, and reimbursement of expenses pursuant to the terms hereon through the effective date of termination, each of which shall be paid within 10 days following the date of the Executive’s termination, and any unvested portion of any Equity Grants shall immediately be forfeited as of the termination date without any further action of the Parties.

Voluntary Termination by the Executive Without Good Reason If the Executive terminates employment without Good Reason, the Executive shall receive the Base Salary and expense reimbursement to which the Executive is entitled through the date on which termination becomes effective.
Termination by the Employee for Good Reason The Employee shall have the right to terminate for “Good Reason” upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean (i) the Company’s material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, its obligation to pay salary to the Employee, (ii) a material and adverse diminution in the Employee’s job duties, responsibilities or authority, (iii) a change in the location where the Employee is required to perform his duties and responsibilities which exceeds fifty (50) miles from the location specified in Section 5 hereof, or (iv) a material reduction in the Employee’s base salary, it being intended that an individual or aggregate reduction of more than 10% from the Employee’s prior base salary level shall be considered material for purposes of this Agreement. Employee may not resign Employee’s employment for Good Reason unless (A) Employee gives the Company written notice of his objection to any event set forth above within 30 days following such event, (B) such event is not corrected, in all material respects, by the Company within 30 days following its receipt of such notice, and (C) Employee resigns his employment with the Company not more than 30 days following the expiration of the 30-day correction period described in the foregoing subclause (B). In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section, in addition to any other payments or benefits to which the Employee may be entitled under the Company’s benefit plans then in effect, the Company shall pay to the Employee, (i) his base salary through the date of termination, and (ii) provided that the Employee executes within 21 days after termination of employment and does not revoke a general release of claims against the Company and its affiliates, equityholders officers, directors, agents and employees as to employment, benefits and compensation related claims, in a form acceptable to the Company, an amount equal to one times (1.0x) the sum of Employee’s (a) base salary as of the date of termination and (b) Bonus Amount, payable in a single lump sum within 30 days after the date of termination.

These payments will commence on the Company’s first payroll date after the termination date and will continue until the end of the Benefit Period. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a termination under this Section 7.E., the Employee shall not be entitled to any other payments under this Agreement except for the Accrued Obligations or as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
Termination by the Company for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at any time for Cause (as defined below) by giving the Executive written notice of termination.
