Termination by Company Without Cause The Company may terminate Employee’s employment without Cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to Employee. If Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause, and Employee signs and does not revoke a Release, then Employee shall be entitled to the following:
Termination for Cause, or Termination Upon Death, Disability or Resignation from the Company Without Good Reason If Executive’s employment shall terminate as a result of Executive’s death pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) or Disability pursuant to Section 3(a)(ii), pursuant to Section 3(a)(iii) for Cause, or pursuant to Section 3(a)(vi) for Executive’s resignation from the Company without Good Reason, then Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or benefits, except as provided in Section 3(c).
Termination By Company With Cause The Company may terminate the Employee's employment at any time with Cause. As used in this Agreement, "Cause" shall include the following: (1) the Employee's failure or inability to perform Employee's duties under this Agreement; (2) dishonesty, misconduct, or unlawful acts that adversely affect the Company; (3) a material violation of the Company's policies or practices which reasonably justifies immediate termination; (4) pleading guilty or no contest to, or conviction of, a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, fraud, dishonesty, or misrepresentation; (5) the commission by the Employee of any act which could reasonably be expected to materially injure the reputation, business, or business relationships of the Company or Related Entities; (6) the Employee's inability to perform an essential function of Employee's position; or (7) any material breach by Employee of this Agreement. The Company may terminate this Agreement for Cause, as defined in clauses (1), (5), (6) and (7) above, upon thirty days prior written notice (the "Cause Notification Period") to Employee, but such termination shall only become effective in the event of Employee's failure to cure the applicable breach or violation, to the reasonable satisfaction of Company, prior to the end of the Cause Notification Period. The Company may terminate this Agreement for Cause, as defined in clauses (2), (3), and (4) above, at any time with no notice. In the event of a termination for Cause, the Company shall be relieved of all its obligations to the Employee provided for by this Agreement as of the effective date of termination, and all payments to the Employee hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate as of such date, except that Employee shall be entitled to the annual base salary hereunder up to and including the effective date of termination.
Involuntary Termination Other Than for Cause If Executive's employment is terminated as a result of an Involuntary Termination other than for Cause, then the following severance benefits shall be paid or otherwise provided to Executive: (A) the Company shall pay to Executive in the form of a lump sum payment, in cash, a severance payment equal to the lesser of (I) three (3) times Executive's Base Salary or (II) Executive's Base Salary multiplied by the sum of (x) the number of years (or any portion thereof, calculated on a daily basis) remaining under this Agreement had Executive's employment not been terminated, plus (y) an additional one-half year, however, in no event shall such payment equal less than 100% of Executive's Base Salary, which shall be paid to Executive within ten (10) days after the date of termination; (B) until the earlier of (I) the date this Agreement would otherwise have terminated had Executive's employment not been terminated (the 'Remaining Term') or (II) the expiration of the three (3) year period measured from the date of Executive's termination of employment. The Company shall at its sole cost and expense provide Executive (and Executive's eligible dependents, if any) with life, disability, and medical insurance benefits substantially similar to those benefits that Executive (and Executive's dependents) were receiving immediately prior to Executive's termination of employment; provided, however, that the benefits otherwise receivable by Executive pursuant to this Section 9(a)(ii)(B) shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are concurrently received by Executive (or Executive's dependents) pursuant to a similar plan or program of another employer, and any such other benefits actually received by Executive (or Executive's dependents) must be reported to the Company; and provided further, however, that the insurance coverage provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 9(a)(ii)(B) shall be in lieu of any other continued coverage to which Executive or Executive's dependents would otherwise, at Executive's own expense, be entitled in accordance with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ('Code'), Section 4980B ('COBRA'), by reason of Executive's termination of employment; (C) all stock options, warrants, rights and other Company stock-related awards granted to Executive by the Company that would otherwise have vested or become exercisable at any time in the future shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable upon the date of Executive's termination of employment, the Company's repurchase rights, if any, with respect to those vested shares shall immediately lapse, and each such stock option, to the extent vested, shall remain exercisable for the vested option shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term in accordance with the provisions of the agreement evidencing such option; and (D) the Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for any and all expenses incurred by Executive for outplacement services selected by the Executive and approved by the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, until the earlier of (I) the first anniversary of the date of termination of employment or (II) the date on which Executive commences employment with another employer.
Termination by Company for Cause Subject to Section 3.2, the Company may terminate Employee’s employment and all of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement at any time “For Cause” (as defined below) by giving notice to Employee stating the basis for such termination, effective immediately upon giving such notice or at such other time thereafter as the Company may designate. “For Cause” shall mean any of the following: (i) Employee’s willful and continued failure to substantially perform the reasonably assigned duties with the Company which are consistent with Employee’s position and job description referred to in this Agreement, other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness, after a written notice is delivered to Employee by the Board of Directors of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which Employee has not substantially performed the assigned duties and allowing Employee thirty (30) days after receipt by Employee of such notice to cure such failure to perform, (ii) material breach of this or any other written agreement between Employee and the Company which is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Employee from the Company of written notice of such breach, (iii) any material violation of any written policy of the Company which is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by Employee from the Company of written notice of such violation, (iv) Employee’s willful misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company, (v) Employee’s conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction of, or his pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, any felony, or (vi) Employee’s commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement, or misappropriation against the Company or any breach of fiduciary duty or breach of the duty of loyalty, including, but not limited to, the offer, payment, solicitation or acceptance of any unlawful bribe or kickback with respect to the Company’s business. For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on Employee’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, in knowing bad faith and without reasonable belief that the action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, expressly authorized by a resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors or based upon the written advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be deemed to have been terminated For Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to Employee a copy of a resolution, duly adopted by the Board of Directors at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to Employee and an opportunity for Employee, together with Employee’s counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors Employee committed the conduct set forth above in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of this Section and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
Termination for Cause by Company Although the Company anticipates the continuation of a mutually rewarding employment relationship with Executive, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment immediately at any time for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as: (a) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of Executive with respect to Executive’s obligations or otherwise relating to the business of the Company; (b) Executive’s material breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any breach of Section 8, Section 9 or Section 11; (c) Executive’s breach of the Company’s Employee Nondisclosure and Assignment Agreement (a signed copy of which was delivered to the Company with the Original Agreement) (the “Nondisclosure Agreement”); (d) Executive’s conviction or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, or any felony or crime of moral turpitude; (e) Executive’s inability to perform the essential functions of Executive’s position, with or without reasonable accommodation, due to a mental or physical disability; (f) Executive’s willful neglect of duties as determined in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board, provided that Executive has received written notice of the action or omission giving rise to such determination and has failed to remedy such situation to the satisfaction of the Board within thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice, unless Executive’s action or omission is not subject to cure, in which case no such notice shall be required, or (g) Executive’s death. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated in accordance with this Section 7.1, Executive shall be entitled to receive only Executive’s Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the date of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (the “Termination Date”), and all amounts and benefits earned or incurred pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 through the Termination Date. All other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be automatically terminated and completely extinguished as of the Termination Date, but will be subject to the surviving provisions of this Agreement set forth in Section 14.8. Executive will not be entitled to receive the Severance Package described in Section 7.2. Any termination pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be evidenced by a resolution or written consent of the Board, and the Company shall provide Executive with a copy of such resolution or written consent, certified by the Secretary of the Company, upon Executive’s written request.
Termination for Cause or Voluntary Termination If the Executive’s employment terminates pursuant to Section 6(c) [For Cause] or Section 6(f) [Voluntary Termination], the Executive shall be entitled to receive only the salary, annual bonuses, expense reimbursements, benefits and accrued vacation days earned by the Executive pursuant to Section 4 through the date of the Executive’s termination of employment. Annual bonuses are not earned until the date any such bonus is paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable bonus plan. As such, the Executive shall not be entitled to any bonus not paid prior to the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, and the Executive shall not be entitled to any prorated bonus payment for the year in which the Executive’s employment terminates. Any stock options granted to the Executive by the Company shall continue to vest only through the date on which the Executive’s employment terminates, and unless otherwise provided by their terms, any restricted stock, performance share awards or other equity awards that were granted to the Executive by the Company that remain unvested as of the date on which the Executive’s employment terminates shall automatically be forfeited and the Executive shall have no further rights with respect to such awards. The Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive as a result of termination of employment described in this Section 8(b) except as set forth in Section 12.
Termination for Cause; Voluntary Termination If at any time during the Term the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated pursuant to Section 4.6 or 4.7, the Executive shall be entitled to only the following:
Voluntary Termination or Termination for Cause If Executive is no longer employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries as a result of Executive's termination for Cause or resignation, then on or after the Termination Date, the Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Executive Units at a price per Unit equal to the lower of the Original Value thereof or the Fair Market Value thereof determined as described in clause (b)(1) above; provided, however, that if Executive resigns on or after the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, then on or after such Termination Date, the Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Executive Units at a price per unit equal to the Fair Market Value thereof determined as described in clause 3(b)(1) above.
Cause and Voluntary Termination If, during the Employment Period, the Executive's employment shall be terminated for Cause or voluntarily terminated by the Executive (other than on account of Good Reason following a Change of Control), the Company shall pay the Executive (i) the Earned Salary in cash in a single lump sum as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 10 days, following the Date of Termination, and (ii) the Accrued Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan, program or arrangement.
