2.4    Termination by the Company Without Cause.  Notwithstanding Section 2.3 above, the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and Employee’s employment without Cause, at any time, and for any reason or no reason at all, upon written notice to Employee, subject to the following:  

(a)    If the Company terminates this Agreement and Employee’s employment and such termination is not a termination for Cause under Section 2.3 above, then Employee shall receive the following from the Company as severance (the “Severance Payment”): (i) ______ base salary as set forth in Section 3.1, plus (ii) an amount equal to the prorata annual incentive compensation for the year of termination (the “Prorata Annual Incentive”), plus (iii) an amount equal to _______ of the targeted annual incentive compensation amount as set forth in Section 3.2 for the year of the termination (regardless of whether the targeted performance was achieved or  exceeded).  The Prorata Annual Incentive shall be determined by multiplying the amount of the annual incentive compensation Employee would have earned pursuant to Section 3.2 in the year of termination if Employee had remained employed through the end of that year, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days Employee was employed by the Company in the year of termination, and the denominator of which is 365.  Except for the Prorata Annual Incentive, the Severance Payment shall be paid in substantially equal biweekly installments with the Company’s regular payroll over the ______ period (the “Severance Pay Period”) following the effective date of termination of employment (provided that the initial and final payments may be a greater or lesser amount so as to conform with the Company’s regular payroll period); provided that any amounts that would be payable prior to the effectiveness of the Release Agreement (as defined below) shall be delayed until the Release Agreement is effective.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of the date of Employee’s separation from service (i) he is a “specified employee” as determined under Section 409A of the Code (as defined below), then any portion of the Severance Payment that is subject to and not exempt from Code Section 409A and that would otherwise be payable within the first six (6) months following such separation from service shall be delayed until the first regular payroll date of the Company following the six (6) month anniversary of Employee’s separation from service to the extent required for compliance with Code Section 409A or (ii) he is not a “specified employee” as determined under Code Section 409A or such delay is otherwise not required for compliance with Code Section 409A, then any portion of the Severance Payment that is subject to and not exempt from Code Section 409A and that would be otherwise payable within the first ninety (90) days after Employee’s separation from service shall be paid ninety (90) days after Employee’s separation from service (and not promptly following the effectiveness of the Release Agreement). The Prorata Annual Incentive shall be paid within 15 days after the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors certifies the annual (short-term) incentive performance for all employees for the year in which the termination occurred. The Severance Payment will be subject to all applicable federal, state and governmental withholdings.  The Severance Payment will be subject to offset by the amount of any base salary, short-term incentive compensation or cash compensation earned by Employee or to which Employee is entitled during the Severance Pay Period (regardless of when any such amount is paid by a subsequent employer or by the Company): (i) from any subsequent employer following the termination of his employment with the Company, or (ii) from the Company under any Contingent Employment Agreement between the Company and Employee.  In the event Employee obtains other employment before the end of the Severance Pay Period, Employee shall immediately notify the Company of such employment in writing.  Employee expressly agrees that failure to immediately advise Company of Employee’s new employment shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and Employee will forfeit all amounts paid or that otherwise would be paid by the Company under this subparagraph from the date of his new employment until the end of the Severance Pay Period.  Employee shall immediately repay to the Company all amounts paid by the Company as a severance payment applicable to the period commencing on the date of his new employment or the date a change in control payment is triggered through the end of the Severance Pay Period.  Notwithstanding such forfeiture, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Employee agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all documentation required and/or reasonably requested by the Company to substantiate his new employment and all compensation and rights under his new employment.

3

(b)    Before receiving the Severance Payment set forth in Section 2.4(a) above, and as a condition to receiving the same, Employee shall sign and not revoke a release of any and all claims or potential claims against the Company which Employee has or may have, whether known or unknown, as of the date of the release (the “Release Agreement”).  The Company must provide the form of Release Agreement to Employee within fifteen (15) days after Employee’s separation from service and Employee must sign the Release Agreement and provide it to the Company within fifteen (15) days after receiving it from the Company.  The Release Agreement shall be in the same or similar form as such release documents or agreements as the Company has required from other executives as a condition of receiving any severance package.

(c)    In order to facilitate compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the Company and the Employee shall neither accelerate nor defer or otherwise change the time at which any payment due under this Section 2.4 is to be made and the Employee shall not be considered to have had a termination of employment until the Employee is considered to have a had a separation from service within the meaning of Code Section 409A.  Further, each individual installment or payroll period amount shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of applying Code Section 409A.
2.5    Termination by Employee for Good Reason.  Employee may terminate this Agreement and/or his employment with the Company for Good Reason, as defined below.  If Employee terminates this Agreement for Good Reason, then Employee shall be entitled to receive the Severance Payment as set forth in Section 2.4(a) above, subject to the requirements of Sections 2.4(a),(b) and (c).  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean:

(a)a material diminution in Employee’s position or title, or the assignment of duties to Employee that are materially inconsistent with Employee’s positions or titles as described in Section 1.1; 

(b)a material diminution in Employee’s base salary or incentive/bonus opportunities except for across-the-board temporary salary reductions of twenty percent (20%) or less similarly affecting other employees; 

(c)a change that would require Employee to relocate to a primary office that is more than fifty (50) miles from the location of Employee’s primary office on the Commencement Date; 

(d)a material breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(e)any successor to the Company or assignee fails or refuses to assume the Company's obligations under this Agreement.  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such event described above shall constitute Good Reason unless: (1) Employee gives written notice to the Company specifying the condition or event relied upon for such termination within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of such event; and (2) the Company fails to cure the condition or event constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days following receipt of Employee’s notice. 
2.6    Termination Due to Disability or Death.  Except for a termination of the Agreement for Good Reason as provided in Section 2.5, if Employee is unable to perform his duties under this Agreement by reason of physical or mental disability, this Agreement shall terminate, and, upon such termination, Employee shall continue to receive the compensation described in Section 3 of this Agreement, reduced by any disability payment to which Employee may be entitled in lieu of such compensation, until the first anniversary of the Commencement Date.  Except for any Severance Payment that may be required under Sections 2.4 and/or 2.5, following the first anniversary of the Commencement Date after a termination due to death or disability, payment of all compensation to Employee under this Agreement shall cease immediately (except for any payment of compensation accrued but unpaid through that date[For U.S. Employees Only:, COBRA benefits] and other benefits to which the Employee may be entitled notwithstanding termination of his employment).  The term “disability” as used in this Agreement shall mean a condition which prohibits Employee from performing his duties substantially in the manner he is capable of performing them on the date of this Agreement, which cannot be removed by reasonable accommodations on the part of the Company, for sixty (60) days or more during any one year period.

4

This Agreement shall terminate and all payments and rights to compensation and benefits to Employee under this Agreement shall cease immediately if the Employee shall die prior to a separation from service with the Company, except for any compensation and benefits accrued but unpaid through the date of death.
[For U.S. Employees Only:  2.7    COBRA Coverage.  Any period of continued post-employment medical plan coverage provided in accordance with this Agreement shall count against the minimum period of coverage required by the medical continuation provisions of COBRA and any other applicable legislation. The Employee is entitled to continuation of group health and dental plan coverage through the last date of his employment, at which time all such coverage will be terminated and applicable COBRA coverage will be made available to Employee. The available coverage is the same coverage which is available for all non-represented employees of the Company.  Beginning the first day of the month following the date of termination of this Agreement, Employee is eligible to elect continued health and/or dental insurance coverage under COBRA.  If Employee elects continued coverage under COBRA and the Agreement was terminated by the Company without Cause or by Employee for Good Reason, the Company agrees to reimburse Employee for 100% of the monthly COBRA cost upon receipt of proof of payment through the last day of the Employee’s COBRA continuation coverage period.  Employee understands it is Employee’s sole obligation to make these COBRA payments on a monthly basis in order to continue Employee’s health or dental insurance benefits and that failure by Employee to make these payments timely may result in cessation of benefits. If Employee obtains other employment prior to the end of the Severance Pay Period which offers any of such insurance coverage, the Company’s obligation to reimburse Employee for COBRA payments will be terminated. Employee agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all documentation required and/or reasonably requested by the Company regarding subsequent benefit eligibility.]
3.    Base Compensation and Incentive Compensation.
3.1    Base Compensation.  Subject to Section 2 of this Agreement, during the Term the Company shall pay to Employee an annual salary in the amount of __________ (_________) (the “Base Compensation”).

The Base Compensation may be increased from time-to-time in accordance with the regular compensation review practices of the Company.
3.2    Short-Term Incentive Compensation.
