Directorship The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Executive to be elected as a member of its Board of Directors throughout the Term and shall include him in the management slate for election as a director at every stockholders meeting during the Term at which his term as a director would otherwise expire. The Executive agrees to accept election, and to serve during the Term, as director of the Company, without any compensation therefor other than as specified in this Agreement.
Termination of Directorship To the extent the Option becomes exercisable, the Option shall remain exercisable until twelve (12) months following any subsequent termination of directorship with the Company or its subsidiaries for any reason whatsoever but in no event shall the Option be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders), and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
Resignation as Director Upon the Company’s written request, Executive agrees to promptly resign as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors following any termination of his employment with the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company).
Resignation for Good Reason The Executive may resign from the Executive’s employment for Good Reason.
Resignation from Directorships and Officerships The termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason will constitute the Executive’s resignation from (i) any director, officer or employee position the Executive has with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) all fiduciary positions (including as a trustee) the Executive holds with respect to any employee benefit plans or trusts established by the Company. The Executive agrees that this Agreement shall serve as written notice of resignation in this circumstance, unless otherwise required by any plan or applicable law.
Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships If any vacancies shall occur in the Board of Directors, by reason of death, resignation, removal or otherwise, or if the authorized number of Directors shall be increased, the Directors then in office shall continue to act, and such vacancies and newly created directorships may be filled by a majority of the Directors then in office, although less than a quorum. A Director elected to fill a vacancy or a newly created directorship shall hold office until his or her successor has been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Any such vacancy or newly created directorship may also be filled at any time by vote of the stockholders.
Resignation of Directors A director may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board, its Chairman (as hereinafter defined), if any, or the Company. A resignation shall be effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date.
Termination for Cause; Resignation If Executive’s employment terminates due to a Termination for Cause (as defined below) or a Resignation (as defined below), Base Salary earned but unpaid as of the date of such termination will be paid to Executive in a lump sum and the Company will have no further obligations to Executive hereunder. In the event any termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive if so requested by the Company agrees to assist in the orderly transfer of authority and responsibility to Executive’s successor.
Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason If (1) Company terminates Employee’s employment during the Initial Term other than (a) due to Employee’s death or Disability or (b) for Cause (as defined below); or (2) if Employee resigns from Employee’s employment for Good Reason (as defined below) during the Initial Term, Employee shall receive the Accrued Amounts on the Date of Termination and, in addition, subject to the Severance Conditions below, (i) Company shall provide a severance payment equal to three (3) months of Employee’s salary as of the Date of Termination (the “Severance Payment”), divided and paid in equal installments over a period of three (3) months in accordance with Company’s regular payroll practices starting on the first regular payday occurring after the effective date of the Release (as defined below), and (ii) the Company will reimburse Employee for COBRA premiums (at the coverage levels and at the Company-paid rate in effect immediately prior to such termination) for Employee and Employee’s covered dependents until the earliest of (A) the date that is three (3) months following the Date of Termination, (B) the date that Employee (or Employee’s spouse or dependents, as applicable) are no longer eligible for COBRA coverage or (C) the date when Employee receives substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment (the “COBRA Benefit”). Company’s obligation to pay Employee the Severance Payment and COBRA Benefit shall be conditioned on Employee’s satisfaction of the following (the “Severance Conditions”): (1) Employee must first sign, and allow to become effective, a Company-approved separation agreement, which shall include a full general release in a form acceptable to Company, releasing all claims, known or unknown, that Employee may have against Company arising out of or any way related to Employee’s employment or termination of employment with Company (the “Release”); and (2) on or before the effective date of the Release, Employee must have (i) reconfirmed Employee’s agreement to abide by all of the surviving provisions of this Agreement and any other agreement between Employee and Company, (ii) agreed to cooperate in the transition of Employee’s employment; and (iii) agreed not to make any voluntary statements, written or oral, or cause or encourage others to make any such statements that defame, disparage, or in any way criticize the personal and/or business reputations, practices, or conduct of the Company or any of its affiliates. All other Company obligations to Employee will be automatically terminated and completely extinguished.
