(a) Employer shall provide Employee with the Accrued Benefits;

(b) Employer shall provide to Employee a severance payment (the “Severance Payment”) equal to [twelve (12)] months of Employee’s base salary at the rate in effect at the time of termination, but disregarding any reduction that constitutes Good Reason (it being understood that should a Qualifying Termination occur within the first month of Employees employment hereunder, no Severance Payment shall be due or payable to Employee) plus a pro-rata share of any bonus earned for the year of termination, up to the date of termination.

Upon making all of the applicable Severance Payment (and Accrued Benefits), Employer shall have no further obligations to Employee under this Agreement or any other agreement relating to or arising out of Employee’s status as an employee of Employer (as opposed to some other status with respect to Employer, such as a shareholder or holder of a stock option).

(f) fail to or refuse to (whether willfully, recklessly or negligently) to perform the responsibilities and duties specified herein (other than a failure caused by temporary disability and provided further that the mere failure to achieve certain goals or objectives (provided Employee has attempted in good faith to achieve such goals and objectives) shall not constitute Good Cause);
