TERMINATION

 

Employee’s employment with Employer may be terminated as follows:

 

(a)                   Termination Without Just Cause.

 

(i)            Employer, in its sole discretion, may terminate Employee’s
employment hereunder for any reason without Just Cause (as defined below), at
any time, by giving written notice to Employee of such intent.

 

(ii)           If Employer terminates Employee’s employment hereunder without
Just Cause Employer shall continue to pay to Employee his then-current base
salary for a period of twelve months, and it also shall pay his any accrued but
unpaid vacation time, any other accrued but unpaid benefits and reimbursement of
all unpaid business expenses (in each case, as of the date of termination)
(collectively the “Continued Benefits”). Upon the effective date of termination,
any bonus earned shall be due and payable.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)           Termination With Just Cause.

 

(i)            Employer may immediately terminate Employee’s employment
hereunder for Just Cause (as defined below) at any time upon delivery of written
notice to Employee.

 

(ii)           For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “Just Cause” means:
(A) Employee’s material fraud, gross malfeasance, gross negligence, or willful
misconduct done in bad faith, with respect to Employer’s business affairs;
(B) Employee’s refusal or repeated failure to follow Employer’s established
reasonable and lawful policies of Employer; (C) Employee’s material breach of
this Agreement; or (D) Employee’s conviction of a felony or crime involving
moral turpitude.

 

(iii)          If Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated by Employer for
Just Cause, Employer will be required to pay to Employee only that portion of
his Base Salary, accrued vacation, and to the extent required under the terms of
any benefit plan or this Agreement, the vested portion of any benefit under such
plan, all as earned through the date of termination.

 

(c)                   For Good Reason.

 

(i)            Employee may terminate employment hereunder For Good Reason (as
defined below), at any time, by giving written notice to Employer of such intent
at least 30 days in advance of the effective date of termination.

 

(ii)           For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “For Good Reason”
means (A) any reduction in duties, responsibility, position or compensation;
(B) relocation of the Employee from the Atlanta area; (C) Employer’s material
breach of this Agreement; or (D) Employer’s refusal or failure to establish and
follow lawful policies and practices.

 

(iii)          If Employee terminates employment hereunder For Good Reason,
Employer shall continue to pay to Employee the Continued Benefits for the
Continuation Period.  Employee shall be entitled to continued participation in
all medical and disability plans, to the extent such plans are provided by
Employer, at the same benefit level at which he was participating on the date of
termination of the Employee’s employment until the expiration of the
Continuation Period.

 

(d)                   Disability and Death.

 

Employee’s employment hereunder will be terminated immediately upon his
disability (as determined for purposes of Employer’s long-term disability plan)
or his death.  If Employee’s employment is terminated; (i)  due to such
disability due to the inability to perform essential job functions and inability
to work at all for a lengthy period of time;  or (ii)  death, Employee or
Employee’s estate, as the case may be, shall receive, in addition to the amounts
payable under Employer’s short-term and long-term disability plans or life
insurance plans (as applicable), only his base salary and accrued vacation,
earned through the date of termination, and to the extent required under the
terms of any benefit plan or this Agreement, the vested portion of any benefit
under such plan.  Employee or Employee’s estate, as the case may be, will not by
operation of this provision forfeit any rights in which Employee is vested at
the time of Employee’s disability or death.
