A Notice of Termination submitted by the Company may provide for a Date of Termination on the date the Executive receives the Notice of Termination, or any date thereafter elected by the Company in its sole discretion. The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder. |
| (c) | Company Obligations upon Termination. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) – (vii) or for any reason or circumstance other than the reasons and circumstances set forth in Section 4(a)(i) – (vii), the Executive (or the Executive’s estate) shall be entitled to receive the sum of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination not theretofore paid, any expenses, incurred up to the Date of Termination, owed to the Executive under Section 3(e), any accrued vacation pay owed to the Executive pursuant to Section 3(d), and any amount arising, up to the Date of Termination, from the Executive’s participation in, or benefits under any employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements under Section 3(c), which amounts shall be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of such employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements. |

| 5. | Severance Payments. |
In addition to any amounts to be paid under Section 4(c), the Executive shall receive the amounts and benefits set forth in Section 5(a):
| (a) | Termination without Cause. If the Executive’s employment shall terminate without Cause pursuant to Section 4(a)(iv), the Company shall: |
| (i) | pay to the Executive, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practice following the Date of Termination, an amount equal to the Annual Base Salary that the Executive would have been entitled to receive if the Executive had continued his employment hereunder for a period of one year following the Date of Termination (or, in lieu thereof, and at the Executive’s election by written notice to the Company not later than the Date of Termination, the Annual Base Salary commencing with the first regular payroll in the seventh month following the Date of Termination and continuing for one year); and |
| (ii) | continue coverage for the Executive and any dependents under all Company group health benefit plans in which the Executive any dependents were entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination for one year following the Date of Termination, to the extent permitted thereunder; provided that, Executive’s receipt of the payments or benefits under this Section 5(a) is conditioned upon the execution, without revocation, by the Executive of a binding general waiver and release of claim in a form agreed upon by the Company and the Executive. |

7
| Covered Entity, or establish any relationship with the Executive or any of his affiliates for any business purpose deemed competitive with the business of any Covered Entity. |
| (c) | In the event the terms of this Section 6 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action. |

| 21. | Enforcement. |
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a portion of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
