This section shall not apply following a Change in Control.
Company’s Right to Terminate Employee’s Employment for Cause The Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment hereunder at any time for “Cause.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:
Termination of Employees Employment For purposes of this Section 3.1(d), the term “pro rata portion” shall mean, with respect to any award of time-vested RSUs, time- vested RSAs or time-vested options, a percentage, when expressed as a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and after the date that begins the vesting period applicable to such installment of RSUs, RSAs or options during which Employee was an employee of the Company, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the vesting period(s) applicable to such installment of RSUs, RSAs or options assuming Employee had been an employee throughout such vesting period and no event or other matter occurred that would accelerate the vesting of such award. Any options that vest pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) shall remain exercisable through the post-termination exercise period set forth in or contemplated by the agreement evidencing the option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payments, awards or benefits are owed or required to be settled or delivered to Employee under Section 3.3 hereof, then Employee shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit under this Section 3.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payments, awards or benefits are owed or required to be settled or delivered to Employee under Section 3.1(c) and (d) and Employee has attained Retirement Eligibility, then Employee shall be entitled to the greater of the payment or benefit under Section 3.1(c) and (d), determined on an aggregate basis with respect to the Eligible RSAs, on the one hand, or Section 3.2, determined on an aggregate basis with respect to the Eligible RSAs, on the other hand. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, the determination of the Eligible RSAs shall assume that the date of Retirement Termination of Employment shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of the termination of his or her employment regardless of whether such termination occurred due to a Termination of Employee’s Employment or a Retirement Termination of Employment. 3.2
OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT Employee shall devote his full time and attention to the performance of the duties incident to his position with the Company, and shall not have any other employment with any other enterprise or substantial responsibility for any enterprise which would be inconsistent with Employee’s duty to devote his full time and attention to Company matters without the prior consent of the Board of Directors.
Cooperation With Company After Termination of Employment Following termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive shall fully cooperate with the Company in all matters relating to the winding up of Executive’s pending work including, but not limited to, any litigation in which the Company is involved, and the orderly transfer of any such pending work to such other employees as may be designated by the Company.
Application for Employment Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of this Agreement, Employee shall not be entitled to any employment with the Company, and Employee hereby waives any right, or alleged right, of employment or re-employment with the Company. Employee further agrees not to apply for employment with the Company and not otherwise pursue an independent contractor or vendor relationship with the Company.
Death After Termination of Employment But Before Benefit Payments Commence If the Executive is entitled to benefit payments under this Agreement, but dies prior to the commencement of said benefit payments, the Company shall pay the benefit payments to the Executive's beneficiary that the Executive was entitled to prior to death except that the benefit payments shall commence on the first day of the month following the date of the Executive's death.
