TERMINATION

Section 6.01. Termination by Company. The Company shall have the right to terminate the Employment at any time with “Cause” by summary notice in writing with immediate effect without payment in lieu of notice pursuant to the terms hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, “Causes” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Operative Employment Agreement. Under the circumstances where “Causes” are not defined in the Operative Employment Agreement, the following conditions each shall constitute “Cause”: (i) commission of any act of fraud or gross negligence by the Executive in the course of his or her employment hereunder that, in the case of gross negligence, has a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliated entities; (ii) willful material misrepresentation at any time by the Executive to the Board; (iii) the willful failure or refusal to comply with any of the Executive’s material obligations hereunder or to comply with a reasonable and lawful instruction of the Board, which failure to comply with such instruction continues for a period of ten (10) days after the Executive’s receipt of written notice from the Board identifying in reasonable detail the objectionable action or inaction; or (iv) engagement by the Executive in any misconduct or the commission by the Executive of any act that is materially injurious or detrimental to the substantial interest of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, as determined by the Board.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, including, without limitation, any corporation or person which may acquire all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business, or with or into which the Company may be consolidated or merged. This Agreement shall also inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Executive and the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amount would still be payable to the Executive hereunder if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s beneficiary, devisee, legatee or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.

Notices.  Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficiently given if personally delivered or if sent by registered or certified mail, national overnight courier, or email.

Section 7.03. Entire Agreement; Amendment.

For the avoidance of doubt, in case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Operative Employment Agreement as to the Executive’s compensation, the term of the Executive’s employment with a member of the Raytech Group, and the Executive’s non-compete, confidentiality and non-solicitation obligations, the Operative Employment Agreement and the undertakings contemplated therein shall prevail. This Agreement may not be changed or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the parties hereto.
