Employee with the Employer; (c) the conviction of the Employee of any crime involving dishonesty, embezzlement, fraud, larceny, theft or moral turpitude; (d) the conviction of the Employee of a felony; (e) the willful misconduct or gross negligence

manner as the Employee had been previously paid his base salary. If, during the Severance Period, Employee obtains a new position but Employee’s annual compensation shall be less that the base salary provided herein, then Employer shall pay to

Difference shall be payable as aforesaid. Employee shall at all times use his best efforts to become reemployed as soon as possible in a position consistent with Employee’s experience and stature. The payments provided herein are in lieu of any
other payments due the Employee including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract.
