Cause.  The Company may terminate your employment at any time for “Cause” (as defined below) and this Agreement shall terminate immediately with no further obligations to you other than the Company shall pay you, within thirty days of such termination, the Accrued Obligations up to the date of such termination for Cause.

Termination by the Company Without Cause or by you for Good Reason.  If, during the Term, the Company terminates your employment without Cause or you terminate your employment for Good Reason (as defined below), in either case, other than within 18 months after a Change in Control (which is covered by Subsection (f) below), you shall be entitled to receive from the Company, subject to your continued compliance with the restrictive covenants contained in Section 5 hereof and your execution and non-revocation of a release of claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, (i) the Accrued Obligations payable within 15 days after the date of termination (or, in the case of the prior year’s Annual Bonus, if any, at such time such bonus is payable pursuant hereto), (ii) an additional 12 months of your then current Base Salary, payable in equal monthly installments beginning with the first payroll date after the date on which the release of claims becomes effective and can no longer be revoked, and (iii) a pro rata portion of the Annual Bonus, if any, for the year of termination up to and including the date of termination which shall be determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee and paid at such time as such bonus is payable pursuant hereto.

The severance payments under sub-paragraphs (ii) and (iii) hereof shall be paid with the first payroll date after the date on which the release of claims becomes effective and can no longer be revoked.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your severance payments payable hereunder constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the period in which you must execute the release begins in one calendar year and ends in another, the severance payments will be made in the later calendar year.
