            responsibilities under this Agreement.  Executive shall at all times be subject to, observe and carry out such rules, regulations, policies, directions, and restrictions as the Company may from time to time establish for officers of the Company

      5.2  Compensation upon Termination by the Company for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason.   Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated during the Term by the Company for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason, provided that any termination of
          Executive’s employment by Executive without Good Reason shall be effective upon a thirty (30) day notice to the Company or such earlier date as the Company determines in its discretion and designates in writing.  Without limiting Executive’s
          right to challenge the Company’s assertion of Cause or the Company’s right to challenge Executive’s assertion of Good Reason, a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason shall not

      (a)  Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) the Accrued Benefits, (ii) an amount equal to one times the sum of Executive’s then Base Salary

      To be eligible for the payment described in Section 5.3(a)(ii) above, Executive must (x) execute, within forty-five (45) days
        after the date of termination of employment, not revoke, and abide by a release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company (the “Release”), (y) cooperate with the Company in the event of litigation, and (z) fully comply with Executive’s
        obligations under Section 6 below.

          Executive to the Company (and Executive must terminate his employment thereunder) within 90 days following the day on which the 30-day period set forth in the preceding clause (y) expires.

          In addition, the Parties acknowledge that, independent of this Agreement, the Company may have payment obligations under the Membership Interest And Warrant Purchase Agreement by and among Hibbett Sporting
          Goods, Inc., City Gear, LLC, and others, dated as of October 29, 2018.

    

    
       

      11.  Compliance with Code Section 409A.

       

    

    
      11.1  Interpretation.  The intent of the Parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A
          of the Code (“409A”), to the extent subject thereto, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
          Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under this Agreement which are subject to 409A until Executive has incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the
          meaning of 409A.  For purposes of 409A, each payment and each installment described in this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment from each other payment or installment and to the extent required by 409A, a payment due upon termination
          of employment will only be paid upon Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of such term under 409A.

    

    
       

    

    
      11.2  Payment of Benefits.  To
          the extent necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences, and except as described below, any payment to which Executive becomes entitled under the Agreement, or any arrangement or plan referenced in this Agreement, that constitutes “deferred
          compensation” under 409A, and is (a) payable upon Executive’s termination of employment; (b) at a time when Executive is a “specified employee” as defined by 409A shall not be made until the first payroll date after the earliest of:  (1) the
          expiration of the six (6) month period (the “Deferral Period”) measured from the date of Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of such term under 409A; or (2) the date of Executive’s death.

       

      

      
        
          


      

    

    
      On the first payroll date after the expiration of the Deferral Period, all payments that would have been made during the Deferral Period
        (whether in a single lump sum or in installments) shall be paid as a single lump sum to Executive or, if applicable, his beneficiary.  The delay of payment provided in this Section 11.2 shall not apply to any payment which meets the short term
        deferral exception to 409A or constitutes “separation pay” as described in Treasury Regulation Section 409A-1(b)(9) (in general, payments (i) that are made on an involuntary separation from service which (ii) do not exceed the lesser of two
        (2) times (x) Executive’s annualized compensation for the taxable year preceding the year in which the separation from service occurs or (y) the Code Section 401(a)(17) limit on compensation for the year in which separation from service occurs and
        (iii) are paid in total by the end of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the separation from service occurs).

    

    
       

    

    
      The Company shall pay to Executive the Accrued Benefits, within ten (10) days after the Date of Termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
        Executive is a “specified employee”, as defined by 409A, and payment of the Accrued Benefits is required to be delayed under 409A, the Company shall pay to Executive the Accrued Benefits on the first payroll date after the six (6) month anniversary
        of the Date of Termination.

    

    
        

    

    
      11.3  Reimbursements.   To the
          extent required by 409A, with regard to any provision that provides for the reimbursement of costs and expenses, or for the provision of in-kind benefits:  (i) the right to such reimbursement or in-kind benefit shall not be subject to liquidation
          or exchange for another benefit; (ii) the amount of expenses or in-kind benefits available or paid in one (1) year shall not affect the amount available or paid in any subsequent year; and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last
          day of Executive’s taxable year in which the expense occurred.
