2.Termination Due to Death or Disability. The following will be inserted as a new sentence at the end of Section 5(b) of the Agreement:
“In addition, in the event of a termination of employment hereunder due to Executive’s death or Disability (and subject to Section 6(c) in the event of a termination of employment due to Disability), Executive or his estate shall be entitled to receive the severance benefits set forth in Sections (6)(b)(i) through 6(b)(iv) to be paid at the times and in the manner provided in Section 6(d).”
3.Form and Timing of Severance Payments. The following will be inserted as new Section 6(d)(vi) of the Agreement:
