EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) made as of Feb 16, 2012, effective as of February 16, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), between TIME WARNER CABLE INC. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and Xxxx Xxxxxxxx- Xxxxxxxxx (“you” or “your”). This Agreement supersedes your employment agreement with the Company dated June 1, 2000, as subsequently amended.

You and the Company desire to set forth the terms and conditions of your employment by the Company and agree as follows:

1. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall be for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on February 15, 2015 (the “Term”), subject, however, to earlier termination as set forth in this Agreement.

2. Employment. During the Term, (a) you shall serve as Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary of the Company, and you shall have the authority, functions, duties, powers and responsibilities normally associated with such position (including, without limitation, the authority, functions, duties, powers and responsibilities you hold as of the date hereof), and such other title, authority, functions, duties, powers and responsibilities as may be assigned to you from time to time by the Company consistent with your senior position with the Company; (b) your services shall be rendered on a substantially full-time, exclusive basis and you will apply on a full-time basis all of your skill and experience to the performance of your duties; (c) you shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”) or such other senior executive as the Company determines in its sole discretion; (d) you shall have no other employment and, without the prior written consent of the CEO, no outside business activities which require the devotion of substantial amounts of your time; (e) you shall adhere to the Company’s policies in effect during your employment, including its Standards of Business Conduct, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Policy, and the stock ownership or retention guidelines adopted by the Company, if any; and (f) the place for the performance of your services shall be at the Company’s principal corporate offices in the New York metropolitan area, subject to such reasonable travel as may be required in the performance of your duties. For purposes of this Section 2, “Company” shall mean either Time Warner Cable Inc. or, if Time Warner Cable Inc. becomes a controlled subsidiary

of another entity, then the ultimate parent company of Time Warner Cable Inc. The foregoing shall be subject to the Company’s written policies, as in effect from time to time, regarding vacations, holidays, illness and the like.

3. Compensation.

3.1. Base Salary. Effective February 17, 2012, the Company shall pay you a base salary at the rate of not less than $650,000 per annum during the Term (“Base Salary”). The Company may increase, but not decrease, your Base Salary during the Term. Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices.

3.2. Bonus. In addition to Base Salary, the Company typically pays its executives an annual cash bonus (“Bonus”). Effective as of March 1, 2012, the Company will establish a target annual bonus for you of not less than $650,000 (“Target Bonus”). For 2012, the Target Bonus will be pro-rated to reflect the March 1, 2012 effective date. Following the applicable year, the Company’s performance and your personal performance (if applicable) will be considered in the context of your executive duties and any individual goals set for you, and your actual Bonus will be determined. Although as a general matter the Company expects to pay bonuses at the target level in cases of satisfactory performance, it does not commit to do so. Your Bonus is fully discretionary, and your Bonus may be higher or lower than your Target Bonus. Your Bonus amount, if any, will be paid to you in cash between January 1 and March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the performance year in respect of which such Bonus is earned at the same time as bonuses are paid to other senior executives.

3.3. Long-term Incentive Compensation. For each year of the Term, you will be eligible to receive long-term incentive compensation through a mix of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), other forms of equity compensation, cash-based long-term plans or other components as may be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) from time to time in its sole discretion (“Long-term Incentive Awards”), subject to the terms of any Company plans governing the granting of Long-term Incentive Awards, and the terms of any related award agreements in accordance with the Company’s customary practices.

3.4. Total Compensation. Each year during the Term, the sum of your Base Salary, Target Bonus, and target grant value of your Long-term Incentive Awards will be at least $2,875,000 (determined pursuant to the Company’s valuation methods applied to all other employees in calculating total compensation), pro-rated with respect to partial years. For 2012, your Total Compensation will be pro-rated to reflect the effective date of your Base Salary, Target Bonus and Long-term Incentive Award. Although as a general matter the Company expects to pay Bonuses and xxxxx Xxxx-term Incentive Awards at the target level in cases of satisfactory performance, it does not commit to do so. Your Bonus and Long-term Incentive Awards are fully discretionary; accordingly, your Bonus and Long-term Incentive Award grant value may be higher or lower than your target amounts, and the sum of your Base Salary, Bonus, and grant value of your Long-term Incentive Awards may be higher or lower than the amount provided for in the first sentence of this paragraph.

3.5. Additional Compensation Plans. In addition to the above compensation, and at the Company’s discretion, you will be eligible to participate in other compensation plans and programs available to executives at your level (“Additional Compensation Plans”). The Company shall maintain full discretion to amend, modify or terminate such Additional Compensation Plans, and full discretion over the decision to award you compensation under such Additional Compensation Plans and the amount of such an award, if any. In addition to Company-provided life insurance coverage of $50,000, you shall receive an additional annual payment equal to the amount that would be needed (as determined by the Company) to purchase supplemental life insurance coverage equal to three times the greater of (a) your then current Base Salary plus your then current Target Bonus amount, or (b) your Base Salary as of the Effective Date plus your Target Bonus amount as of the Effective Date, less $50,000.

3.6. Indemnification. You shall be entitled throughout the Term (and after the end of the Term, to the extent relating to service during your employment) to the benefit of the indemnification provisions contained in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of Time Warner Cable Inc. as of August 1, 2006 (not including any amendments or additions after August 1, 2006 that limit or narrow, but including any that add to or broaden, the protection afforded to you by those provisions). In addition, with respect to services you provided to or on behalf of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (“TWE”), consistent with your prior employment

agreement, you shall be entitled to the benefit of the applicable indemnification provisions contained in the Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated October 29, 1991, as amended, of TWE (not including any amendments or additions after the date of execution of your prior employment agreement that limit or narrow, but including any that add to or broaden, the protection afforded to you by those provisions), to the extent not prohibited by applicable law at the time of the assertion of any liability against you.

4. Termination.

4.1. Termination for Cause: Voluntary Resignation. The Company may terminate your employment for “cause” and you may voluntarily resign your employment prior to the expiration of the Term. Upon the termination of your employment for cause or your voluntary resignation, all of the obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than the Company’s obligations set forth below in Section 4.1.2 and the provisions identified in Section 10.13 (Survival).

4.1.1. Definition of Cause. Termination by the Company for “cause” shall mean termination because of your (a) conviction (treating a nolo contendere plea as a conviction) of a felony (whether or not any right to appeal has been or may be exercised) other than as a result of a moving violation or a Limited Vicarious Liability (as defined below); (b) willful failure or refusal without proper cause to perform your material duties with the Company, including your material obligations under this Agreement (other than any such failure resulting from your incapacity due to physical or mental impairment); (c) willful misappropriation, embezzlement, fraud or any reckless or willful destruction of Company property having a significant adverse financial effect on the Company or a significant adverse effect on the Company’s reputation; (d) willful and material breach of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to the Company having a significant adverse financial effect on the Company or a significant adverse effect on the Company’s reputation; (e) material and willful breach of any of the restrictive covenants provided for in Section 8 (Restrictive Covenants) below; or (f) a willful violation of any material Company policy, including the Company’s Standards of Business Conduct, having a significant adverse financial effect on the Company or a significant adverse effect on the Company’s reputation. Such termination shall be effected by written notice thereof delivered by the Company to you and shall be effective as of the date of such notice; provided however, that if (i) such termination is because of your willful failure or

refusal without proper cause to perform your material duties with the Company including any one or more of your material obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) within 15 days following the date of such notice you shall cease your refusal and shall use your best efforts to perform such obligations the termination shall not be effective. The term “Limited Vicarious Liability” shall mean any liability which is based on acts of the Company for which you are responsible solely as a result of your office(s) with the Company; provided that (x) you are not directly involved in such acts and either had no prior knowledge of such actions or, upon obtaining such knowledge, promptly acted reasonably and in good faith to attempt to prevent the acts causing such liability or (y) after consulting with the Company’s counsel, you reasonably believed that no law was being violated by such acts.

4.1.2. Obligations Upon Termination For Cause or Voluntary Resignation. In the event of your termination of employment by the Company for cause or your voluntary resignation, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that the Company may have at law or in equity, the Company shall have no further obligation to you other than (i) to pay Base Salary through the effective date of termination, (ii) with respect to any rights you have pursuant to any insurance, other benefit, incentive, or equity plans or arrangements of the Company, if any, (iii) with respect to any rights to indemnification that you may have under Section 3.6 above or any other agreement or arrangement with the Company, and (iv) if your employment is terminated pursuant to Sections 4.1.1(b) or 4.1.1(f) above, the Company shall pay you any Bonus for any year prior to the year in which such termination of employment occurs that has been determined but not yet paid as of the date of such termination of employment. You hereby disclaim any right to receive a pro rata portion of any Bonus with respect to the year in which such termination or resignation occurs. Payments of Base Salary required under this Section shall be made at the same time as such payments would otherwise have been made to you pursuant to Sections 3.1 (Base Salary) if your employment had not been terminated. Notwithstanding this Section 4.1.2, for purposes of your Long-Term Incentive Awards, a voluntary resignation will be subject to the definition of “Retirement” in Section 7.2.

4.2. Termination by You for Good Reason and Termination by the Company Without Cause. Unless previously terminated pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, you shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the

Company, to terminate your employment for “Good Reason” effective 30 days after the giving of such notice, if, at the time of the giving of such notice, the Company is in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement without your express written consent; provided however, with the exception of clause (i) below, this Agreement shall not so terminate if such notice is the first such notice of termination delivered by you pursuant to this Section 4.2 and within such 30-day period the Company shall have cured all such material breaches. Any such notice of termination for Good Reason must be provided to the Company within 90 days of any material breach of the Agreement. A material breach by the Company shall include, but not be limited to, (i) the Company’s material violation of Sections 2(a) or 2(f) with respect to your title, authority, functions, duties, powers, responsibilities or place of employment, or (ii) the Company failing to cause any successor to all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Company expressly to assume the obligations of the Company under this Agreement as provided by Section 10.4 (Assignability). The Company shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to you, to terminate your employment under this Agreement without cause, which notice shall specify the effective date of such termination.

4.2.1. Termination Benefits. After the effective date of a termination of employment without cause or for Good Reason pursuant to this Section 4.2, you shall receive Base Salary and a pro rata portion of your Bonus through the effective date of termination, subject to the actual achievement of the performance criteria established for the Company for the year of termination; provided that, if applicable, your individual performance score shall be equal to the Company’s performance score or, if multiple performance measures are used, the weighted average of the Company’s performance scores, as determined by the Company. You will also be entitled to any unpaid Bonus for a year prior to the year of termination (which if not determined, shall be based on actual achievement of the performance criteria established for the Company for such prior year, and your individual performance score, if applicable, shall be equal to the Company’s performance score, or if multiple performance measures are used, the weighted average of the Company’s performance scores). Your pro rata Bonus and any prior year bonus pursuant to this Section 4.2.1 shall be paid to you at the times set forth in Section 4.5 (Payments).

4.2.2. Severance Benefits. After the effective date of a termination of employment without cause or for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4.2,

you shall continue to receive Base Salary and Bonus compensation and the post-termination benefits specified in Section 7.2 for a period ending on the date which is 36 months after the effective date of such termination (the “Severance Period”). During the Severance Period you shall be entitled to receive, whether or not you become disabled during the Severance Period, whichever of the following produces greater total payments: (a) the sum of (i) Base Salary at an annual rate equal to your Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the notice of termination, and (ii) an annual Bonus in respect of each calendar year or portion thereof (in which case a pro rata portion of such Bonus will be payable) during the Severance Period equal to your Target Bonus in effect immediately prior to the notice of termination or (b) the sum of (i) Base Salary at an annual rate equal to your Base Salary in effect on the Effective Date, and (ii) an annual Bonus in respect of each calendar year or portion thereof (in which case a pro rata portion of such Bonus will be payable) during the Severance Period equal to your Target Bonus in effect on the Effective Date. Payments made pursuant to this Section 4.2.2 shall be paid to you at the times set forth in Section 4.5 (Payments), Effective as of the date of your termination of employment pursuant to Section 4.2, any outstanding Long-term Incentive Awards granted during the Term shall immediately vest in full and any stock option awards granted during the Term shall become immediately exercisable for the time periods set forth in the respective stock option award agreements provided that, if any such Long-term Incentive Awards or stock options are subject to a performance requirement that has not been satisfied and certified by the Board on the date of your termination of employment, such Long-term Incentive Awards or stock options shall not be immediately vested and exercisable, but shall become fully vested and exercisable upon satisfaction of such performance requirement and certification by the Board (or, if applicable, upon deemed satisfaction of such performance requirements pursuant to the terms of the Long-term Incentive Awards or stock options). Stock options granted prior to the Term shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(b) hereof. For the period beginning when you receive notice of an involuntary termination without cause from the Company or when you notify the Company of a voluntary termination for Good Reason, and ending one year thereafter, you will, without charge, have use of reasonable office space and facilities as designated by the Company, together with reasonable secretarial services in each case appropriate to an employee of your position and responsibilities prior to such termination of employment.

4.2.2.1. Other Full-Time Employment or Death During the Severance Period. Except as provided in the following sentence, if you accept other full-time employment, excluding employment with an affiliate (“Other Employment”) during the Severance Period or notify the Company in writing of your intention to terminate your post-termination benefits under Section 7.2, effective upon the commencement of such Other Employment or the effective date of such termination as specified by you in such notice, whichever is applicable, the continuation of the post-termination health and welfare benefits specified in Section 7.2 shall terminate, but you shall continue to receive the remaining payments you would have received pursuant to Section 4.2.2 at the times specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you accept employment with any not-for-profit organization, as defined by Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 501(c), then you shall be entitled to continue to receive the post-termination health and welfare benefits specified in Section 7.2 and the payments as provided in the first sentence of Section 4.2.2. Furthermore, if you accept employment with any affiliate of the Company or die during the Severance Period, then the payments provided for in Section 4.2.2 shall immediately cease and you (or your estate or designated beneficiary(ies)) shall not be entitled to any further payments other than any life insurance payments pursuant to Section 6, if any; provided that, you shall be entitled to (i) a prorated Target Bonus for the year in which your employment by the affiliate commences, or the year of your death, as applicable, based on the number of whole or partial months in such calendar year prior to the date of your employment by the affiliate, or the date of your death, as determined by the Company; and (ii) if the annual Bonus payment referred to in Section 4.2.2(a)(ii) or (b)(ii), as applicable, has not already been paid, an annual Bonus payment for the calendar year prior to the year of your employment by the affiliate, or prior to the year of your death. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “affiliate” shall mean any entity which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company. For purposes of enforcing the terms of this Section 4.2.2.1, you acknowledge and agree that you will provide the Company with written notice of your intent to accept Other Employment, other part-time employment, other employment by a not-for-profit entity, or employment by an affiliate, including, the identity of the entity or person you intend to be employed by, the anticipated start date of your employment and a contact at such entity who can verify your employment terms. Any income from any Other Employment you may obtain shall not be applied to reduce the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

4.2.3. Termination of Employment Upon Change In Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof (a) within 24 months following a Change In Control (as defined in the Time Warner Cable Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan or any successor plan) or (b) following the Company’s execution of an applicable merger, acquisition, sale or other agreement providing for a Change In Control (a “CIC Agreement”) but before the date that is 24 months after a Change In Control (or, if earlier, the expiration or termination of the CIC Agreement without a Change In Control), you shall (i) receive the severance benefits provided in Section 4.2.2 and (ii) receive the post-termination benefits provided in Section 7.2. Any employment terminations for “cause” pursuant to Sections 4.1.1(b) or 4.1.1(f) above within 24 months following a Change In Control shall be deemed terminations without cause for purposes of severance benefits (as provided in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) above) and treatment of the Company’s (or any successor’s) outstanding equity awards or other Long-term Incentive Awards that are outstanding as of the employment termination date.

4.3. Expiration of Term. If at the expiration of the Term, your employment has not been previously terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the parties have not agreed in a signed writing to an extension or renewal of this Agreement or on the terms of a new employment agreement, then this Agreement shall expire and your employment shall continue on an at-will basis. As an at-will employee, (i) your Bonus shall be fully discretionary, except that the Company will calculate your Bonus according to the Company and personal performance standards generally applicable to senior executives of the Company without regard to the provisions of any executive employment agreements and (ii) upon the termination of your employment without cause, (a) you shall be eligible for participation in any executive-level severance plan or program offered by the Company that will provide a minimum severance benefit equal to twenty-four (24) months Base Salary and Target Bonus subject to your execution and delivery of a full release to the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A or such other form of release as may be implemented for such executive-level severance plan or program, (b) except as provided in subsection (c) below, you shall receive immediate vesting in full of any outstanding equity awards or other Long-term Incentive Awards granted before or during the Term and any stock option awards shall become immediately exercisable for the time periods set forth in the respective stock option award agreements, (c) any stock option awards granted before the

Effective Date shall continue to vest until the earlier of (i) 36 months after the date of your termination of employment without cause, and (ii) your commencement of Other Employment (at which time such options shall become fully vested and exercisable); provided that, vested stock options referenced in this subsection (c) shall remain exercisable for the time periods set forth in the respective stock option award agreements beginning upon the earlier of (x) your commencement of Other Employment and (y) the end of such 36-month period; provided further that, if any Long-term Incentive Awards or stock options granted during the Term are subject to a performance requirement that has not been satisfied and certified by the Board on the date of your termination of employment, such Long-term Incentive Awards or stock options shall not be immediately vested and exercisable, but shall become fully vested and exercisable upon satisfaction of such performance requirement and certification by the Board (or, if applicable, upon deemed satisfaction of such performance requirements pursuant to the terms of the Long-term Incentive Awards or stock options). Following expiration of the Term, the term “Retirement” as used in any Long-term Incentive Award granted before, during, or after the Term shall mean the termination of your employment, other than by the Company for Cause or your Death or Disability, on or after reaching age 55 with ten or more years of Service (within the meaning of the Long-term Incentive Award agreements), provided that a termination of employment for “Performance” (within the meaning of the Long-term Incentive Award agreements) will not be treated as a Retirement termination if the applicable Long-term Incentive Award agreement so provides.

4.4. Release. A condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to make the payments associated with a termination of employment pursuant to Sections 4.2 (Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason), 4.3 (Expiration of Term) and 5 (Disability) shall be your execution and delivery of a release of all claims related to your employment with the Company and the termination of such employment substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, as may be revised from time to time as necessary to reflect changes in federal or state laws to ensure that such release is valid. Such release must be signed by you and returned to the Company no later than 21 days (or, if required by law, 45 days) after your separation from service with the Company. If you shall fail to execute and deliver such release, or if you revoke such release as provided therein, then you shall not be entitled to any severance benefits provided in Section 4.2.2 or Section 4.3 or disability payments under Section 5 and you shall reimburse the Company for any such payments made to you in anticipation of your execution of the release or prior to the revocation of such release.

4.5. Payments. Payments of Base Salary and Bonus required to be made to you after a termination of employment pursuant to Sections 4, 5 or 6 shall be made at the same times as such payments otherwise would have been paid to you pursuant to Sections 3.1 (Base Salary) and 3.2 (Bonus) if your employment had not been terminated, or such other time as required for compliance with Code Section 409A as set forth in Section 10.15 below.

4.6. Code Sections 280G and 4999. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any amount, stock option, restricted stock, RSUs, other equity awards or benefits paid or distributed to you pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement between the Company and you (collectively, the “280G Payments”) (a) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (b) but for this Section 4.6, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the 280G Payments shall be payable either (i) in full or (ii) in such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such 280G Payments being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code; whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income or excise taxes (including the excise tax imposed by Section 4999) results in your receipt on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits under this Agreement, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless you and the Company otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by an independent public accountant selected by the Company (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon you and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and you shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section, as well as any reasonable legal or accountant expenses, or

any additional taxes, that you may incur as a result of any calculation errors made by the Accountant and/or the Company in connection with the Code Section 4999 excise tax analysis contemplated by this Section.

4.6.1. Additional 280G Payments. If you receive reduced 280G Payments by reason of this Section 4.6 and it is established pursuant to a final determination of the court or an Internal Revenue Service proceeding that you could have received a greater amount without resulting in an excise tax, then the Company shall promptly thereafter pay you the aggregate additional amount which could have been paid without resulting in an excise tax as soon as practicable.

4.6.2. Review of Accountant Determinations. The parties agree to cooperate generally and in good faith with respect to (i) the review and determinations to be undertaken by the Accountants as set forth in this Section 4.6 and (ii) any audit, claim or other proceeding brought by the Internal Revenue Service or similar state authority to review or contest or otherwise related to the determinations of the Accountants as provided for in this Section 4.6, including any claim or position taken by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by you of any additional excise tax, over and above the amounts of excise tax established under the procedure set forth in this Section 4.6.

4.6.3. Order of 280G Payment Reduction. The reduction of 280G Payments, if applicable, shall be effected in the following order (unless you, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, elect another method of reduction by written notice to the Company prior to the Section 280G event): (i) any cash severance payments, (ii) any other cash amounts payable to you, (iii) any health and welfare or similar benefits valued as parachute payments, (iv) acceleration of vesting of any stock options for which the exercise price exceeds the then fair market value of the underlying stock, in order of the option tranches with the largest Section 280G parachute value, (v) acceleration of vesting of any equity award that is not a stock option and (vi) acceleration of vesting of any stock options for which the exercise price is less than the fair market value of the underlying stock in such manner as would net you the largest remaining spread value if the options were all exercised as of the Section 280G event.

5. Disability. If during the Term and prior to the delivery of any notice of termination of employment pursuant to Section 4, you become physically or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially, so that you are unable to engage in substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment, which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, the Company shall, nevertheless, continue to pay your full compensation (including Bonus and benefits) through the last day of the sixth consecutive month of disability or the date on which any shorter periods of disability shall have equaled a total of six months in any twelve-month period (such last day or date being referred to herein as the “Disability Date”), in lieu of or offset by any payments received by you from Worker’s Compensation insurance, Social Security, and short- or long-term disability insurance benefits maintained by the Company; provided that, if you die prior to the Disability Date, you are not entitled to any further payments after such date, except as provided in Section 6 below. If you have not resumed your usual duties on or prior to the Disability Date, the Company shall terminate your employment effective as of the Disability Date and pay you (a) any unpaid Bonus for a year prior to the year in which such termination occurs (which if not determined shall be based on actual achievement of the performance criteria for the Company, provided that, if applicable, your individual performance score shall be equal to the Company’s performance score for the year in which the termination occurs or, if multiple performance measures are used, the weighted average of the Company’s performance scores for such year), (b) a pro rata portion of your Bonus for the year in which the Disability Date occurs through the Disability Date based on actual achievement of the performance criteria established for the Company, provided that, if applicable, your individual performance score shall be equal to the Company’s performance score or, if multiple performance measures are used, the weighted average of the Company’s performance scores for the year in which the Disability Date occurs, and (c) a lump sum cash payment equal to three times the greater of (i) the sum of your then-current Base Salary and Target Bonus, or (ii) the sum of your Base Salary and Target Bonus in effect on the Effective Date. The pro rata Bonus and any prior year bonus payment shall be made at the time specified in Section 4.5 (Payments), and the lump sum cash payment shall be made within 90 days of the Disability Date.

For purposes of clarity, you acknowledge and agree that Sections 4.2 (Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason) and 4.3 (Expiration of Term) shall not

apply following your Disability Date, and you shall not be entitled to any other notice and severance benefits under this Agreement or otherwise, or to receive or be paid for any accrued vacation time or unused sabbatical, unless payment of such accrued, but unused vacation benefits is otherwise required by state law.

6. Death. Provided that the term of employment has not been earlier terminated hereunder, upon your death, this Agreement and all benefits hereunder shall terminate (except as otherwise provided in any benefit, savings, incentive or other plan or program of the Company), except that your estate (or a designated beneficiary thereof) shall be entitled to receive: (a) Base Salary to the last day of the month in which your death occurs; (b) any unpaid Bonus for a year prior to the year in which your death occurred (which if not determined, shall be based on actual achievement of the performance criteria established by the Company, provided that, if applicable, your individual performance score shall be equal to the Company’s performance score or, if multiple performance measures are used, the weighted average of the Company’s performance scores), and (c) Bonus compensation (at the time bonuses are normally paid) based on the actual achievement of the performance criteria established for the Company, provided that, if applicable, your individual performance score shall be equal to the Company’s performance score or, if multiple performance measures are used, the weighted average of the Company’s performance scores, but prorated according to the number of whole or partial months you were employed by the Company in such calendar year.

7. Other Benefits.

7.1. Generally Available Benefits.

10.7. Resolution of Disputes. Except as provided in the preceding Section 10.6 (Remedies), any dispute or controversy arising with respect to this Agreement and your employment hereunder (whether based on contract or tort or upon any federal, state or local statute, including but not limited to claims asserted under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, any state Fair Employment Practices Act and/or the Americans with Disability Act) shall, at the election of either you or the Company, be submitted to JAMS for resolution in arbitration in accordance with the rules and procedures of JAMS.

The resolution of any such dispute or controversy by the arbitrator appointed

in accordance with the procedures of JAMS shall be final and binding.
