receive stock-based awards in the discretion of the Compensation Committee and to participate in the Company’s generally available employee benefit programs. During the term of each executive officer’s employment, in addition to the Company’s generally available benefits, the Company will provide each executive officer, at the Company’s expense, a $2 million face value term life insurance policy and a long-term disability policy which covers 60% of his base salary in the event of a qualifying long-term disability, subject to the terms of the policy.

Each employment agreement and each executive officer’s employment may be terminated (a) at any time by mutual agreement or by the Company with or without Cause, (b) at any time by the executive officer with or without Good Reason and (c) upon the executive officer’s death or disability that renders him incapable of performing the essential functions of his job, with or without reasonable accommodation. If an executive officer’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the executive officer for Good Reason, the Company will provide the executive officer with outplacement services consistent with those provided to similarly situated executives and pay the executive officer severance compensation equal to the sum of (a) 200% of his annualized base salary as of his termination date, (b) 200% of the average of his last two calendar years’ bonus, excluding any equity awards and any special or one-time bonus or incentive compensation payments (except that with respect to Mr. Strickland, if termination occurs within two years following the effective date of his employment agreement, the amount payable will be 200% of the greater of his target incentive or the most recent year’s annual bonus after the first year anniversary of the effective date of the employment agreement), and (c) $12,000 to offset the costs of benefit continuation coverage. The severance compensation will be payable over a 24-month period.

For purposes of each applicable employment agreement, “Cause” generally means (a) material failure to follow the Company’s reasonable direction or to perform any duties reasonably required on material matters, (b) a material violation of, or failure to act upon or report known or suspected violations of, the Company’s Principles of Integrity and Compliance, (c) conviction of a felony, commission of any criminal or dishonest act or any conduct that is materially detrimental to the interests of the Company, or (d) material breach of the employment agreement. The employment agreement provides that the Company will, within 120 days of the discovery of the conduct constituting Cause, give the executive officer written notice specifying the conduct constituting Cause in reasonable detail and the executive officer will have 60 days to remedy the conduct, if the conduct is reasonably capable of being remedied. In any instance where the Company may have grounds for Cause, failure by the Company to provide written notice of the grounds for Cause within 120 days of discovery will be a waiver of its right to assert the subject conduct as a basis for termination for Cause.

For purposes of each applicable employment agreement, “Good Reason” will generally exist if the Company (a) reduces the executive officer’s base salary or long- or short-term target bonus percentage other than in connection with a general reduction affecting a group of similarly situated employees, (b) moves the executive officer’s primary work location more than 50 miles, (c) makes changes that substantially diminish the executive officer’s duties or responsibilities, or (d) changes the executive officer’s reporting relationship away from the President and CEO of the Company. The employment agreement provides that the executive officer must give the Company written notice specifying in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Good Reason within 120 days of becoming aware of the circumstances, or those circumstances will not constitute Good Reason. If the circumstances constituting Good Reason are reasonably capable of being remedied, the Company will have 60 days to remedy the circumstances.
