addition, you may receive such other severance which may be approved by TERH for similarly situated executives.
You shall, in such event, execute any and all release documents customarily used
for executive terminations
requested by Trump as a condition precedent to obtaining such sum. As used herein, the term “Cause” shall refer to
the following:
			
		 	        (i)	  	theft, fraud, dishonesty, gross negligence or willful malfeasance by you in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder;
			
		 	        (ii)	  	a material breach or material failure to fulfill and perform your duties hereunder, which breach or failure is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of Trump within ten (10) days after

hereunder following an initial notice of warning from Trump with respect thereto.
		
		 	Upon termination for Cause, all of your rights under this Agreement shall immediately terminate and Trump shall
have no further

					
		
		  	obligations. A termination of your employment with Trump upon your voluntary resignation or voluntary retirement shall be treated as a termination for Cause hereunder. Upon a
termination for Cause, you shall receive in full satisfaction of all amounts due to you an amount equal to the remainder of Base Compensation through date of termination.
		
	Change of

company, any employees of Trump, or any of its related or affiliated companies.
			
		  	d.	  	You acknowledge and agree that the restrictive covenants set forth herein are reasonable as to duration, terms and geographical area and that the same are necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of Trump, impose no undue hardship on you and are not injurious to the public.
		
		  	You acknowledge that upon your breach of this Agreement, Trump would sustain irreparable harm from such breach, and, therefore, you agree that in addition to any other remedies which
Trump may have under this Agreement or otherwise, Trump’s obligations to provide severance benefits to you shall immediately terminate, you shall have no claim to receive such benefits from Trump, the release document referred to above shall
remain in all respects valid and binding, and

Trump and its affiliates or as a fiduciary of any benefit plan of Trump and its affiliates.
		
	Representation:	  	You acknowledge that your entering into this Agreement does not violate any other agreement to which you or anyone on your behalf is a party.

oral, regarding the subject matter hereof.
