(d) By Executive with Good Reason.

(c) Upon Termination without Cause. If the Company terminates the employment of Executive without Cause pursuant to Section 4.3(c) (which, for clarification, is deemed not to include a termination due to Total Disability or a termination for Cause), then Executive will only be entitled to (1) Base Termination Obligations (which will be paid as they come due in the ordinary course), (2) salary continuation during the Salary Continuation Period based on the Base Salary in effect at the time of termination, payable in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices; and (3) a pro rata portion of the Annual Bonus in respect of the fiscal year of the date of termination, provided that Executive has worked at least six (6) months during such fiscal year.

(f) Upon Death. In the event that the Employment Period terminates pursuant to Section 4.3(f) on account of the death of Executive, then Executive’s estate or his beneficiaries will only be entitled to Base Termination Obligations (which will be paid as they come due in the ordinary course).

(g) Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the payment of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to this Section 4.4 (other than the Base Termination Obligations) (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”) will be conditioned upon Executive’s execution and delivery to the Company a Release of Claims provided by the Company with such Release of Claims becoming irrevocable in accordance with its terms no later than the eighth day following the applicable Release Expiration Date (as defined in the Release of Claims) (the “Release Deadline Date”). If Executive fails to execute the Release of Claims in such a timely manner so as to permit any revocation period to expire prior to the Release Deadline Date, or timely revokes his acceptance of such release following its execution, Executive will not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits. Any Severance Benefits that are scheduled to be paid following the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder and prior to the Release Deadline Date will not be paid until the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the Release Deadline Date, at which time, so long as the Release of Claims has become effective and irrevocable, Executive will be paid, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Severance Benefits that were otherwise scheduled to be paid prior thereto, and any remaining Severance Benefits will thereafter be provided to Executive according to the applicable schedule set forth in this Agreement. In the event of Executive’s death or Total Disability after or upon termination of employment, Executive’s obligations herein to execute and not revoke the Release of Claims may be satisfied on his behalf by his estate or a person having legal power of attorney over his affairs.

 

7


(h) Offset. In the event of any termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement for any reason or for no reason, the Company’s obligation to make any payments to Executive under this Agreement will be subject to offset to the maximum extent permitted by Code Section 409A for any loans, debts, obligations or expenses that Executive owes to the Company Group; provided, to the extent any amount so subject to offset is payable in installments hereunder, such offset will not modify the applicable payment date of any installment, and to the extent an obligation cannot be satisfied by reduction of a single installment payment, any portion not satisfied will remain an outstanding obligation of Executive and will be applied to the next installment only at such time the installment is otherwise payable pursuant to the specified payment schedule.
