Termination Following Change of Control. The Executive shall have no specific right to terminate this Agreement or right to any severance payments or other benefits solely as a result of a Change of Control or Potential Change of Control. However, if during a Change of Control Period during the Term, (a) the Executive terminates his employment with the Company pursuant to Section 4.4, or (b) the Company terminates the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 4.5, the lump sum severance payment under Section 5.1 shall be increased from 100% of the Base Amount to 150% times the Base Amount and the period for continuation of benefits under Section 5.1 shall be increased to 18 months from 12 months. The terms and rights with respect to such payments shall otherwise be governed by Section 5.1. No other rights result from termination during a Change of Control Period; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.3 is intended to limit or impair the rights of the Executive under the Plans or any documents evidencing any stock-based compensation awards in the event of a Change of Control if such Plans or award documents grant greater rights than are set forth herein.
