Unilateral Termination (a) Either Parent or Seller, by giving written notice to the other, may terminate this Agreement if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority shall have issued a nonappealable final order, decree or ruling or taken any other action, in each case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) Either Parent or Seller, by giving written notice to the other, may terminate this Agreement if the Closing shall not have occurred by 5 p.m. Pacific Time on November 30, 2003 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to perform in any material respect any of its obligations or covenants under this Agreement results in the failure of any condition set forth in Article 8, “Conditions to Closing” or if the failure of such condition results from facts or circumstances that constitute a material breach of a representation or warranty or covenant made under this Agreement by such party.
(c) Seller may terminate this Agreement at any time before the Closing (i) upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Buyer set forth in this Agreement or any Buyer Ancillary Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Parent or Buyer shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue or (ii) if the condition in Section 8.1(c) would not be satisfied at any time before the Closing, provided that if such inaccuracy in Parent’s or Buyer’s representations and warranties or breach by Parent or Buyer or the Material Adverse Change to Parent is curable by Parent, then Seller may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.2(c) for 15 days after delivery of written notice from Seller to Parent of such breach or Material Adverse Change to Parent, provided Parent continues to exercise reasonable efforts to cure such breach or Material Adverse Change to Parent (it being understood that Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2(c) if such breach by Parent or Buyer or Material Adverse Change to Parent is cured during such 15-day period, or if Seller shall have materially breached this Agreement).
(d) Parent may terminate this Agreement at any time before the Closing (i) upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in this Agreement or any Seller Ancillary Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Seller shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue or (ii) if the condition in Section 8.2(c) would not be satisfied at any time before the Closing, provided that if such inaccuracy in Seller’s representations and warranties or breach by Seller or the Material Adverse Change to the Purchased Assets or the Business is curable by Seller, then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.2(d) for 15 days after delivery of written notice from Parent to Seller of such breach or Material Adverse Change to the Purchased Assets or the Business, provided Seller continues to exercise reasonable efforts to cure such breach or Material Adverse Change to the Purchased Assets or the Business (it being understood that Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2(d) if such breach by Seller or Material Adverse Change to the Purchased Assets or the Business is cured during such 15-day period, or if Parent shall have materially breached this Agreement).
(e) Either Seller or Parent, by given written notice to the other, may terminate this Agreement if this Agreement and the Asset Purchase are not approved and adopted by the Requisite Stockholder Approval at a meeting of Seller stockholders duly convened therefor or at any adjournment thereof; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.2(e) shall not be available to Seller where the failure to obtain the approval of Seller’s stockholders shall have been caused by the action or failure to act of Seller and such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach by Seller of this Agreement.
(f) Parent may terminate this Agreement at any time before the Closing if a Triggering Event shall have occurred. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Triggering Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if: (i) the Board of Directors of Seller or any committee thereof shall for any reason have withdrawn or shall have amended or modified its recommendation in favor of the Seller stockholders approving the Agreement and the Asset Purchase; or (ii) the Board of Directors of Company or any committee thereof shall have approved or publicly recommended any Alternative Proposal.
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. In the event a severance payment is made under this Section 7.E., the Company will pay to Employee a monthly payment on the first payroll date of each month equal to the COBRA cost of continued health and dental coverage under health and dental plans of the Company pursuant to Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code, less the amount that Employee would be required to contribute for health and dental coverage if Employee were an active employee, for a period of twelve (12) months from the termination date; provided, however, that this obligation shall cease at the end of the Benefits Period. 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.
FOR THE EMPLOYER FOR THE UNION:
Termination by the Employee The Employee may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or for no reason at all, by giving notice thereof to the Corporation at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of such termination. The Employment Period shall terminate as of the date of such termination of employment.
Voluntary Termination by the Employee The Employee may voluntarily terminate the Employee's status as employee for other than Good Reason.
By the Executive The Executive may terminate the Employment at any time with a three-month prior written notice to the Company or by payment of three months’ salary in lieu of notice. In addition, the Executive may resign prior to the expiration of the Agreement if such resignation or an alternative arrangement with respect to the Employment is approved by the Board.
Death of the Employee The TERM automatically terminates upon the death of the EMPLOYEE. In the event of such death, the EMPLOYEE's estate shall be entitled to receive the compensation due the EMPLOYEE through the last day of the calendar month in which the death occurred, except as otherwise specified herein.
Duties of the Employee The Executive represents and warrants that the performance by Executive of the Executive’s duties and obligations under this Agreement will not violate any agreement between the Executive and any other person, firm, partnership, corporation or other organization.
