In the event of a termination of this Agreement, the Company, as promptly as is practicable under the circumstances, shall notify the Trust, the Distributor and the Adviser whether the Company elects to continue to make Fund shares available after such termination. If Fund shares continue to be made available after such termination, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.
10.4. Except as necessary to implement Variable Contract owner initiated transactions, or as required by state insurance laws or regulations, the Company shall not redeem the shares attributable to the Variable Contracts (as opposed to the shares attributable to the Company’s assets held in the Separate Accounts or invested directly), and the Company shall not prevent Variable Contract owners from allocating payments to a Fund that was otherwise available under the Variable Contracts, until thirty (30) days after the Company shall have notified the Trust of its intention to do so.
Notice of Termination Payment As soon as practicable after calculation of a Termination Payment, notice shall be given by the Non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party of the amount of the Termination Payment and whether the Termination Payment is due to or due from the Non-Defaulting Party.

Subject to Section 5.4(b) above, the Termination Payment shall be made by the Party that owes it within three (3) Business Days after such notice is effective.
Termination Benefits (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, followed at any time during the term of this Agreement by the involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment (other than for Termination for Cause or death), or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Employers shall:
(i) pay the Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination an amount equal to three (3) times the Executive’s average annual compensation for the five most recent taxable years that the Executive has been employed by the Employers or such lesser number of years in the event that the Executive shall have been employed by the Employers for less than five years. For this purpose, annual compensation shall include base salary and any other taxable income, including, but not limited to, amounts related to the granting, vesting or exercise of restricted stock or stock option awards, commissions, bonuses, pension and profit sharing plan contributions or benefits (whether or not taxable), severance payments, retirement benefits, and fringe benefits paid or to be paid to the Executive or paid for the Executive’s benefit during any such year; and
(ii) cause to be continued life insurance and non-taxable medical, dental and disability coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the Employers for the Executive prior to his Date of Termination, except to the extent such coverage may be changed in its application to all employees on a nondiscriminatory basis. Such coverage and payments shall cease upon the expiration of thirty-six (36) full calendar months from the Date of Termination.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required to avoid penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the cash severance payable under Section 3 of this Agreement shall be delayed until the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s Date of Termination.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, a “termination of employment” shall mean a “Separation from Service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, such that the Employers and the Executive reasonably anticipate that the level of bona fide services the Executive would perform after a termination of employment would permanently decrease to a level that is less than 50% of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period.
Company Termination Fee (i) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(i), or in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(ii), then, in each case, the Company shall pay to Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, a fee in the amount of $135,500,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”) at or prior to the termination of this Agreement in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(ii) or as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within two Business Days following such termination) in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(i).
(ii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i) or Section 9.1(b)(iii), or in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) in respect of a Willful Breach by the Company of a covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and in each case at any time after the date of this Agreement prior to such termination (i) a Company Acquisition Proposal has been made to the Company and publicly announced and has not been withdrawn prior to the termination of this Agreement (or prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(iii)) and (ii) within twelve months after such termination, the Company (A) enters into an agreement with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal and such Company Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated or (B) consummates a Company Acquisition Proposal, then, in any such event, the Company shall pay to Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Company Termination Fee less the amount of any Parent Expenses previously paid by the Company concurrently with the consummation of such transaction arising from such Company Acquisition Proposal (and in any event, within two Business Days following such consummation); provided, however, that for purposes of the definition of “Company Acquisition Proposal” in this Section 9.3(a)(ii), references to “15%” and “85%” shall be replaced by “50%”).
