Severance:		Upon termination of your employment without Cause you will be entitled to receive a payment equal to twelve (12) months of your then current salary. You will also be reimbursed for your COBRA costs for an equivalent period. In addition, you may receive such other severance which may be approved by TERH for similarly situated executives. You shall, in such event, execute any and all release documents customarily used for executive terminations requested by Xxxxx as a condition precedent to obtaining such sum.

		(ii)		a material breach or material failure to fulfill and perform your duties hereunder, which breach or failure is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of Xxxxx within ten (10) days after written demand from Xxxxx (if such breach is at all curable during such time in the reasonable determination of Xxxxx) failing such determination, “Cause” shall have occurred upon the occurrence of such breach or failure;

		Upon termination for Cause, all of your rights under this Agreement shall immediately terminate and Xxxxx shall have no further

		obligations. A termination of your employment with Xxxxx upon your voluntary resignation or voluntary retirement shall be treated as a termination for Cause hereunder. Upon a termination for Cause, you shall receive in full satisfaction of all amounts due to you an amount equal to the remainder of Base Compensation through date of termination.
Change of Control:		You may terminate your employment on your own initiative within thirty days of a Change of Control and in such event you shall be entitled to the Severance set forth above as if termination occurred without Cause.

		You acknowledge that upon your breach of this Agreement, Xxxxx would sustain irreparable harm from such breach, and, therefore, you agree that in addition to any other remedies which Xxxxx may have under this Agreement or otherwise, Trump’s obligations to provide severance benefits to you shall immediately terminate, you shall have no claim to receive such benefits from Xxxxx, the release document referred to above shall remain in all respects valid and binding, and

		Xxxxx shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctions, restraining you from committing or continuing any such violation of this section.
Indemnification:		Xxxxx shall cover you under directors and officers liability insurance both during, and while potential liability exists, after your employment with Xxxxx in commercially reasonable amounts. Xxxxx shall during and after your employment indemnify and hold you harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law with regard to your actions or inactions in the performance of your duties as an officer, director and/or employee of Xxxxx and its affiliates or as a fiduciary of any benefit plan of Xxxxx and its affiliates.
