McKee and Harrington are provided in their Amended Agreements, including those payments and benefits upon a termination of employment byAramark without "cause" (as originally defined in the Noncompete Agreements) or by the executives for "good reason" (as originally defined in the Noncompete Agreements) within the two-year period following a "change of control". • In the case ofMr. Bethel , under his Amended Agreement, upon a termination of employment byAramark without "cause" (as originally defined in the Noncompete Agreements) other than within the two-year period following a "change of control", he would be entitled to the same payments and benefits as Mmes.
