Executive, within not less than fifteen nor more than thirty days after such notice, shall be given the opportunity to appear before the Board, or a committee thereof, to rebut or dispute the alleged reason for termination. If the Board or committee determines, by a majority of the disinterested directors, after having given Executive the opportunity to rebut or dispute the allegations, that such reason is indeed valid, the Company may immediately terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement for Cause. Immediately upon giving the notice contemplated by this paragraph, the Company may elect, during the pendency of such inquiry, to relieve Executive of Executive’s regular duties.

(f) Without Good Reason. Executive may voluntarily terminate Executive’s employment without Good Reason by delivering to the Company a Notice of Termination not less than thirty (30) days prior to the termination of Executive’s employment, and the Company shall have the option of terminating Executive’s duties and responsibilities prior to the expiration of such thirty-day notice period.

(i) any accrued and unpaid Base Salary;

(ii) any annual bonus earned but unpaid in respect of any completed fiscal year preceding the termination date;

(vi) any amount or benefit as provided under any plan, program, agreement or corporate governance document of the Company or its affiliates that are then-applicable (the “Company Arrangements”), in accordance with the terms thereof.

(the foregoing items in Sections 7(a)(i) through 7(a)(vi) being collectively referred to as the “Accrued Compensation”).

(b) Termination for any Other Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason before or after the Initial Term other than those described in Section 7(a), Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided in this Section 7(b):

(i) the Accrued Compensation; plus

(ii) the Company shall provide Executive and Executive’s dependents with continued coverage under any health, medical, dental, vision or life insurance program or policy in which Executive was eligible to participate as of the time of Executive’s employment termination, for two (2) years following such termination on terms no less favorable to Executive and Executive’s dependents (including with respect to payment for the costs thereof) than those in effect immediately prior to such termination, which coverage shall become secondary to any coverage provided to Executive by a subsequent employer and to any Medicare coverage for which Executive becomes eligible. After such two-year period, Executive and Executive’s dependents who are qualified beneficiaries shall be entitled, at Executive’s election and cost, to eighteen (18) months of continuation coverage at COBRA rates. Further, upon Executive’s Disability (irrespective of any termination of employment related thereto), the Company shall pay Executive for twelve (12) consecutive months thereafter regular payments in the amount by which the monthly Base Salary exceeds Executive’s Company-provided monthly Disability insurance benefit; plus

7

(iii) subject to Executive’s compliance with Section 15(f) hereof, a payment equal to two (2) times the sum of Executive’s Base Salary and Target Bonus, such payment to be made on the 60th day following the date of Executive’s termination of employment.

(c) No Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation or benefits provided to Executive in any subsequent employment.

8. Golden Parachute Tax. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, Executive under any other Company plan or agreement (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent necessary so that no Payment to be made or benefit to be provided to Executive shall be subject to the Excise Tax (such reduced amount is hereinafter referred to as the “Limited Payment Amount”). If applicable, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the payments provided under Section 7(b)(iii) or 7b(iv) or Section 7(c)(iii), as applicable, to effect the provisions of this Section 8. The determination of whether the Payments shall be reduced to the Limited Payment Amount pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Limited Payment Amount shall be made, at the Company’s expense, by a reputable accounting firm selected by Executive and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to the Company and Executive within ten (10) days of the date of termination, if applicable, or such other time as specified by mutual agreement of the Company and Executive, and if the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive with respect to the Payments, it shall furnish Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payments. The Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.

9. Section 409A. The parties intend for the payments and benefits under this Agreement to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code or, if not so exempt, to be paid or provided in a manner which complies with the requirements of such section, and intend that this Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, (i) no amounts shall be paid to Executive under Section 7 of this Agreement until Executive would be considered to have incurred a separation from service from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and (ii) amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following Executive’s separation from service (or death, if earlier), with interest from the date such amounts would otherwise have been paid at the short-term applicable federal rate, compounded semi-annually, as determined under Section 1274 of the Code for the month in which payment would have been made but for the delay in payment required to avoid the imposition of an additional rate of tax on Executive under Section 409A of the Code.
