4.2 Termination by the Company for Cause. At any time during the Employment Period after the occurrence of an event constituting Cause (as defined below in this Section 4.2), the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder in accordance with the procedures described below in this Section 4.2. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:
(i) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform substantially the Executive’s duties with the Company or one of its subsidiaries (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties;
(ii) conviction of the Executive of, or a plea by the Executive of nolo contendere to, a felony or to any criminal violation involving dishonesty, fraud or breach of trust; or
(iii) willful misconduct by the Executive which causes harm to, or which could reasonably be expected to diminish the value of the assets or property or violate the value system or code of conduct of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
For purposes of this Section 4.2, no act or failure to act, on the part of the Executive, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and
4
until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the entire membership of the Board (not including the Chief Executive Officer of the Company) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice of such purpose is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive has engaged in the conduct described in subparagraph (i) (ii) or (iii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. If the Executive is a member of the Board, the Executive shall recuse himself or herself from the deliberations and vote of the Board with respect to such matter.
4.3 Other Termination by the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 1), the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for any reason, or for no reason, at any time during the Employment Period upon written notice of termination. In the event of such termination, the Company shall notify the Executive of the date of termination, which date may be at any time up to and including six months following the date of written notice of termination. The Executive shall continue to perform his duties hereunder through the date of termination determined by the Company.
4.4 Other Termination by the Executive. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 1), the Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason, or for no reason, at any time during the Employment Period upon written notice given not less than 90 days prior to the date of termination of employment.
4.5 Termination for Good Reason. At any time during the Employment Period, the Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive for, and within 60 days following the occurrence of an event that constitutes, Good Reason (as defined below in this Section 4.5). For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following:
(i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with the Executive’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities or any other action by the Company which results in an unreasonable diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, as contemplated by Section 2;
(ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
5
Section 3), other than (I) an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive or (II) a failure in connection with action by the Company that reduces the then-current compensation or employee benefits of the Company’s senior management generally in connection with a financial restructuring or other Company-wide plan to materially reduce the costs of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries or materially improve the financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries; provided that the Executive’s Base Salary and Annual Bonus may not be reduced by more than 10% in the aggregate during the Employment Period; or
(iii) any purported termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
5. | Obligations of the Company Upon Termination. |
5.1 Termination Without Cause or With Good Reason. If (i) the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than pursuant to Section 4.1 (upon death or Disability) or Section 4.2 (for Cause) or (ii) the Executive shall terminate employment for Good Reason:
(i) the Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the date of termination the aggregate of the following amounts:
(A) the sum of (1) the Executive’s annual Base Salary through the date of termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (2) the product of (x) the higher of (I) the Annual Bonus (annualized in the case of any partial year) last paid to the Executive (excluding therefrom the value of stock-based incentives) and (II) the Executive’s annual target bonus opportunity in cash in effect as established from time to time by the Company (such higher amount of (I) and (II) being referred to as the “Highest Annual Bonus”), and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the date of termination, and the denominator of which is 365 and (3) any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) are hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”); and
6
(B) the amount equal to the product of (1) one and (2) the sum of (x) the Executive’s annual Base Salary as in effect at the date of termination and (y) the Highest Annual Bonus;
(ii) for one year after the Executive’s date of termination, or such longer period as may be provided by the terms of the appropriate plan, program, practice or policy, the Company shall continue medical, prescription, dental and life insurance benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family substantially similar to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies described in Section 3.3(b) (but excluding disability benefits) if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated. provided, however, that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical benefits described herein will be terminated by the Company;
(iii) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and its subsidiaries as the same may be established from time to time by the Company (such other amounts and benefits are hereinafter referred to as the “Other Benefits”); and
(iv) all stock options, stock appreciation rights, awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units, and other equity-based awards (each, an “Award”) granted to the Executive and then outstanding under stock option, stock incentive, deferred compensation and other equity-based plans, programs, contracts or arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries shall vest and, become exercisable, and all restrictions and conditions applicable to such awards shall be deemed to have lapsed or been fully satisfied. Additionally, the Executive shall be granted a term of either one year within which to exercise any such right.
5.2 Termination Upon Death. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death during the Employment Period, as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for payment of the Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of the Other Benefits. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as
7
applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the date of termination. With respect to the provision of the Other Benefits, the term “Other Benefits” as used in this Section 5.2 shall include, without limitation, and the Executive’s estate and/or beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by the Company and its subsidiaries to the estates and beneficiaries of peer executives of the Company and its subsidiaries under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to other peer executives and their beneficiaries as in effect on the date of the Executive’s death with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its subsidiaries and their beneficiaries.
5.3 Termination Upon Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s Disability during the Employment Period, as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of the Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of the Other Benefits. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the date of termination. With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term “Other Benefits” as used in this Section 5.3 shall include, and the Executive shall be entitled after the occurrence of any condition constituting a Disability to receive, disability and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable of those benefits generally provided by the Company and its subsidiaries to disabled executives and/or their families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their families as in effect at any time with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its subsidiaries and their families.
5.4 Termination for Cause.

5.5 Termination Other Than for Good Reason.

The foregoing amounts shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the date of termination.
8
5.6 Other Plans, Agreements or Arrangements. The severance pay and severance benefits provided for in this Section 5 shall not duplicate, and shall be offset by, any other severance pay or severance benefits to which the Executive may be entitled under any plan, agreement or arrangement of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be offset by any severance benefits to which the Executive may be entitled under applicable law.
5.7 Reduction or Elimination of Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or of any other agreement, contract or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by the Executive and the Company, except an agreement, contract or understanding hereafter entered into that expressly modifies or excludes application of this Section 5.7 (collectively, the “Other Agreements”), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Executive (including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which the Executive is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Executive (a “Benefit Arrangement”), if the Executive is a “disqualified individual,” as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any right to receive any payment or other benefit under this Agreement shall not become exercisable or vested (i) to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting, payment or benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments or benefits to or for the Executive under this Agreement, all Other Agreements and all Benefit Arrangements, would cause any payment or benefit to the Executive under this Agreement to be considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code as then in effect (a “Parachute Payment”) and (ii) if, as a result of receiving a Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Executive from the Company under this Agreement, all Other Agreements and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that could be received by the Executive without causing any such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment. In the event that the receipt of any such right to exercise, vesting, payment or benefit under this Agreement, in conjunction with all other rights, payments or benefits to or for the Executive under any Other Agreement or any Benefit Arrangement would cause the Executive to be considered to have received a Parachute Payment under this Agreement that would have the effect of decreasing the after-tax amount received by the Executive as described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Executive shall have the right, in the Executive’s sole discretion, to designate those rights, payments or benefits under this Agreement, any Other Agreements and
9
any Benefit Arrangements that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having the payment or benefit to the Executive under this Agreement be deemed to be a Parachute Payment.
6. | Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Subject to Section 5.6, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement with, the Company or any of its subsidiaries at or subsequent to the date of termination of employment shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement, except as expressly modified by this Agreement. |
7. | Full Settlement. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. The Company shall reimburse to the fullest extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest, where the Executive is the prevailing party, of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive concerning the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code. |
8. | Execution of Release. As a condition to the Company’s obligation to pay any form of severance to the Executive upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall, at the time of such termination, execute and deliver to the Company (and shall fail to revoke within such time periods as may be established by law) a full and unconditional release in favor of the Company and its affiliates of all obligations other than those set forth in this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company. |
10
