Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment Company becomes obligated to make to Executive in connection with this Agreement, by seeking other employment or otherwise. Except as specifically provided above with respect to the health care continuation benefit, the amount of any payment provided for in Section 4 shall not be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by Company by reason of any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer after the Termination Date or otherwise.
