Executive. The parties hereto agree that Executive is obligated under this Agreement to render personal services of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character, thereby giving this Agreement special value. Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be transferable by Executive by assignment or otherwise, and any purported assignment, transfer or delegation thereof shall be void; provided, however, that if Executive shall die, all amounts then payable to Executive hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s estate.

[[Organization A:Organization]] hereby employs Executive as a Managerial Employee. Executive’s employment is at will.

Executive Acknowledgments. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that # any and all loyalty obligations arising under Paragraph 18 were discussed with, and accepted by, the Executive prior to the commencement of the Executive’s employment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; # the loyalty obligations arising under Paragraph 18 constitute a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and to agree to employ the Executive on the terms and conditions stated herein; # the loyalty obligations arising under Paragraph 18 are reasonable in time, territory, and scope, and in all other respects; # should any part or provision of any covenant be held invalid, void, or unenforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall not render invalid, void, or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement; and # if any portion of the foregoing provisions is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because its duration, territory, definition of activities, or definition of information covered is considered to be invalid or unreasonable in scope, the invalid or unreasonable terms shall be redefined to carry out the Executive’s and the Company’s intent in agreeing to these restrictive covenants. These restrictive covenants shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision in this Agreement and the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the loyalty obligations arising under Paragraph 18.

By Executive. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Executive may terminate Executive’s employment with the Company upon delivery of a Notice of Termination to the Company at least ninety (90) days prior to the Date of Termination (which the Company may, in its sole discretion, make effective earlier than the date set forth in the Notice of Termination provided, that any due compensation to the Executive shall remain as of the original Date of Termination). The Company may require that Executive not come to work during the notice period and may assign one or more of Executive’s duties and authority to one or more other individuals. In the event Company requires that Executive not come to work during the notice period, Company shall continue to pay Executive as if Executive were working.
