STAHL, Senior Circuit Judge.

This case requires us to decide whether the Chapter 11 debtor in possession must pay in excess of $1.2 million in severance pay, pursuant to the terms of two prepetition contracts, as an administrative expense to an executive who was terminated after rendering postpetition services. We affirm the bankruptcy court's grant of summary judgment, denying administrative priority status to the executive's claim.
