By the Company Without Cause During the Term, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment without Cause at any time. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause following the initial Public Offering then, in addition to paying Executive the Final Compensation and subject to Executive’s compliance with Article 7 in all material respects, the Company shall: (a) continue to pay Executive the Base Salary at the rate in effect on the Termination Date during the Restricted Period, with the first payment being on the Company’s next regular payroll period which is at least eight (8) business days following the effective date of the Release (defined below) (provided that if the 60-day time period for the Release begins in one taxable year and ends in a subsequent taxable year, the first payment shall be paid in the subsequent taxable year (for example, if Executive terminates on December 1, then the first payment shall not be paid until on or after January 1 of the next year, regardless of when the Release is returned)); (b) continue Executive’s health insurance benefits for the Restricted Period (at a cost no less favorable than that paid by Executive immediately prior to the Termination Date) or the economic equivalent thereto if such continuation is not permissible under the terms of the Company’s health insurance plan or would otherwise expose the Company to tax or other penalties; and (c) pay Executive an amount equal to the pro rata amount of the Bonus Executive would have earned for the year in which the termination occurred, based on the Company’s performance for the entire fiscal year in which the termination occurred relative to the performance measurements that were pending at the time of termination and to be used to determine Executive’s bonus for such year. Any such prorated Bonus shall be payable at such time or times as bonuses are payable to the other executives of the Company (the benefits, which the parties acknowledge are not required by law, outlined in Section(s) 5.4(a), (b) and (c) are collectively referenced as the “Severance”). Any obligation of the Company to provide Executive the Severance is conditioned on Executive signing, delivering to the Company and not revoking a release, in a form acceptable to the Company (the “Release”), within sixty (60) days of his Termination Date, which Release in any event will require Executive to reaffirm his obligations and commitments to the Company under Section 7 of this Agreement.
Termination by the Company Without Cause The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time without Cause. Any termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 3(c) and does not result from the death or disability of the Executive under Section 3(a) or (b) shall be deemed a termination without Cause.
By Company Without Cause Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 5(a), the Company may terminate Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined below) effective on thirty (30) days’ written notice (such thirty (30)-day period, the “Notice Period”, and such notice, the “Termination Notice”), during which notice period Executive may be relieved of his/her duties and placed on paid terminal leave. In such event and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Executive will be entitled to: (i) continued coverage under the Company’s insurance benefit plans through the termination date and such other benefits to which he/she may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s benefit plans, provided, however, that Executive shall not participate in any severance plan of the Company; (ii) payment of all earned but unpaid compensation (including accrued unpaid vacation) through the effective date of termination, payable on or before the termination date; and (iii) reimbursement of expenses incurred on or before the termination date in accordance with Section 4(e), above, if a request for reimbursement of the expenses was timely submitted to the Company; plus (iv) payment of the equivalent of the Base Salary without regard to any reduction that would otherwise constitute Good Reason he/she would have earned over the next six (6) months following the termination date (less necessary withholdings and authorized deductions) at his/her then current Base Salary rate (the “Severance Payment”), payable in a lump sum on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable (the “Release Effective Date”), but in any event within ten (10) business days of the Release Effective Date and subject to Section 16, below; (v) payment of a prorated portion of the actual bonus Executive would have otherwise received for the fiscal year during which the termination occurs, as if Executive had remained employed by the Company through the date that would have otherwise been required to earn the bonus, but without the Board or any committee of the Board exercising any negative discretion to reduce the amount of the award, calculated by dividing the number of days from the start of the fiscal year through the termination date by 365 and multiplying the amount of such actual bonus Executive would have otherwise received by this percentage (but not by more than 100%), and paid at the same time as bonuses are paid to other Company executives that are similarly situated to Executive; provided, however, that if the termination date is after the seventh month of the fiscal year, the actual bonus will not be prorated and Executive will receive 100% of such actual bonus Executive would have otherwise received for that fiscal year at the same time as bonuses are paid to other Company executives that are similarly situated to Executive; (vi) subject to Section 5(g), reimbursement of insurance premiums payable to retain group health coverage as of the termination date for himself/herself and his/her eligible dependents pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (“COBRA”) for six (6) months or the maximum period of COBRA coverage, whichever is less; provided that Executive must submit a reimbursement request in accordance with Company policy within thirty (30) days of paying such insurance premiums. The Company will reimburse the executive within thirty (30) days of receiving a properly submitted request. In addition, if Executive accepts other employment within such six (6) months, the Company’s obligation under this Section 5(a)(vi) will be extinguished as of the date Executive becomes covered under the group health plan of Executive’s new employer; and (vii) payment for executive outplacement assistance services with the Company’s then current outplacement services vendor and in accordance with the Company’s then current policies and practices with respect to outplacement assistance for other executives of the Company for up to twelve (12) months after the termination date. The payments and benefits set forth in Sections 5(a)(i)-(iii) shall be referred to as the “Accrued Benefits”, and the payments and benefits set forth in Sections 5(a)(iv)-(vii) shall be referred to as the “Severance Benefits”. Executive shall not receive the Severance Benefits, the “Enhanced Severance Benefits” as provided in Section 5(e), or the Termination Notice Replacement Payment (as defined below) unless Executive executes the separation agreement and general release attached as Exhibit A (the “Release”), and the same becomes irrevocable pursuant to its terms within the 60-day period following his/her termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 5(a), the Company may terminate Executive’s employment prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, and in the case of such termination, the Company shall pay Executive the equivalent of the Base Salary he/she would have earned over the remainder of the Notice Period (less necessary withholdings and authorized deductions) at his/her then current Base Salary rate (the “Termination Notice Replacement Payment”), subject to Executive satisfying the requirements of the previous sentence. Any such Termination Notice Replacement will be paid in a lump sum at the same time as the Severance Payment.

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder.
Resignation from the Company without Good Reason Executive may resign Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason other than Good Reason or for no reason.
