The Employment Agreement contains provisions regarding the termination of Mr. Caudle's employment and related severance obligations.  If the Company terminates Mr. Caudle's employment for "Cause" or if Mr. Caudle resigns without "Good Reason" (as each term is defined in the Employment Agreement), the Company will pay Mr. Caudle all accrued and unpaid base salary and any accrued and unpaid benefits through the date of termination, after which the Company will have no further obligation under the Employment Agreement to Mr. Caudle.  If Mr. Caudle's employment terminates due to his death or "Disability" (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Caudle or his estate will receive all accrued and unpaid base salary and any accrued and unpaid benefits through the date of termination, after which all right to benefits will terminate and the Company will have no further obligation under the Employment Agreement to Mr. Caudle.  If Mr. Caudle is terminated for any reason other than death, Disability or Cause, or if Mr. Caudle resigns with Good Reason, Mr. Caudle will be entitled to (i) cash severance payments equal to twelve months of Mr. Caudle's annual base salary at the time of termination, payable in equal monthly installments, and (ii) if Mr. Caudle elects COBRA continuation coverage, reimbursement for the monthly cost of such continuation coverage for Mr. Caudle's medical and health insurance benefits until the earlier of (a) the date Mr. Caudle ceases to maintain such continuation coverage in effect or (b) twelve months from the termination of Mr. Caudle's employment.  The foregoing severance benefits are subject to Mr. Caudle entering into and not revoking a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliated entities.  The severance benefits payable upon termination for any reason other than death, Disability or Cause, or resignation with Good Reason, also are subject to Mr. Caudle abiding by certain restrictive covenants, which are described below.  Also, upon Mr. Caudle's death or Disability or a "Change of Control" (as defined in the Unifi, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan), all outstanding unvested equity awards issued to Mr. Caudle by the Company shall vest in full.
Mr. Caudle is also subject to certain confidentiality provisions and non-competition and non-solicitation covenants.  Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Caudle has agreed to neither compete with the Company or its affiliated entities nor solicit their respective customers, suppliers or employees during the period of his employment under the Employment Agreement and for the twelve months immediately following termination of employment.  Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Caudle also has agreed upon termination of his employment with the Company (i) to resign as a member of the Board, if serving on the Board at the time, (ii) to resign from all positions with the Company and its affiliated entities, (iii) not to disparage the Company and its affiliated entities, (iv) to provide litigation support to the Company and its affiliated entities and (v) to return all of the Company's and its affiliated entities' property to the Company.
The Employment Agreement also provides that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Mr. Caudle if Mr. Caudle is made a party to or is otherwise involved in certain legal proceedings as a result of actions related to Mr. Caudle's service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company
