The Executive’s Average Annual Bonus for a Contract Year shall be an amount equal to the sum of all Annual Bonuses earned by the Executive for the Contract Years immediately preceding the Contract Year for which the calculation is being made (not exceeding three (3) Contract Years) divided by the number of such Annual Bonuses.

Base Salary that would have been due through the end of the Contract Term assuming no early termination had occurred and assuming no increases or decreases in Annual Base Salary and (ii) on or before the day on which the Executive’s Annual Bonus for the Contract Year in which the termination occurs would have been payable if the termination had not occurred, an amount equal to the Annual Bonus the Executive would have received for that Contract Year if the termination had not occurred multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in that Contract Year before the date of termination and the denominator of which is 365. This subsection 9(b) shall not limit the entitlement of the Executive, his estate or beneficiaries to any disability or other benefits then available to the Executive under any life, disability insurance or other benefit plan or policy which is maintained by the Partnership or the Company for the Executive’s benefit.

(c) Termination for Cause or Without Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to all Annual Base Salary and all Benefits accrued through the date of termination and to any accrued but unpaid Annual Bonus for a Contract Year prior to the Contract Year in which the Executive’s employment was terminated.

(f) Mitigation of Damages. In the event of any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Partnership or the Company, the Executive shall not be required to seek other employment to mitigate damages, and any income earned by the Executive from other employment or self-employment shall not be offset against any obligations of the Partnership or the Company to the Executive under this Agreement.

10. Limitation on Severance Benefits.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and except as provided in paragraph 10(b) below, payments and benefits to which Executive would otherwise be entitled under the provisions of this Agreement will be reduced (or the Executive shall make reimbursement of amounts previously paid) to the extent necessary to prevent the Executive from having any liability for the federal excise tax levied on certain “excess parachute payments” under section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code as it exists as of the date of this Agreement.

(b) The Company may determine the amount (if any) of reduction for each payment or benefit that the Executive would otherwise be entitled to receive. The extent to which the payments or benefits to the Executive are to be reduced pursuant to paragraph 10(a) will be determined by the accounting firm servicing the Company on the date that the Executive’s employment is terminated. The Company shall pay the cost of such determination.

(c) If the final determination of any reduction in any benefit or payment pursuant to this Section has not been made at the time that the Executive is entitled to receive such benefit or payment, the Company shall pay or provide an estimated amount based on a recommendation by the accounting firm making the determination under subparagraph 10(b).

The Company shall be liable for the Company Percentage (as described in Section 7(f)) of the annual premium for any such term life insurance policy and the Partnership shall be liable for the remainder of such premium. The beneficiary of any such insurance shall be designated, from time to time, by the Executive in his sole and absolute discretion.
