Death of Participant Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Award Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives Participant, the administrator or executor of Participant’s estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.
Vacation Credits Upon Death Earned but unused vacation entitlement shall be made payable, upon termination due to death, to the employee's dependent, or where there is no dependent, to the employee's estate.
Pre-Retirement Death Benefit (a) Normal form of payment. If (i) the Director dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 4.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement death benefits. The balance of the Director=s Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the later of (i) the Director=s death, or (ii) the date any final lump sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefits shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director=s death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director=s Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director=s Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director=s Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director=s Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director=s death. Such lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice. The Director=s Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the later of (i) the Director's death or (ii) the date any final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable to the Director's Beneficiary for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director=s death, or if later, within thirty (30) days after any final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account in accordance with Subsection 2.1(c).

None of the Distributor, the Trust or any of their respective affiliates shall use the names, addresses and other information concerning Participant’s customers for any purpose except in connection with the performance of their duties and responsibilities hereunder and except for servicing and informational mailings described in this clause (b) of Section 5, or as may otherwise be required by applicable law.
(c) The Participant affirms that it has procedures in place reasonably designed to protect the privacy of non-public personal consumer/customer financial information to the extent required by applicable law, rule and regulation.
(d) The Participant further represents that its Anti-Money Laundering Program, at a minimum, (i) designates a compliance officer to administer and oversee the AML Program, (ii) provides ongoing employee training, (iii) includes an independent audit function to test the effectiveness of the AML Program, (iv) establishes internal policies, procedures and controls that are tailored to its particular business, (v) includes a customer identification program consistent with the rules under Sec. 326 of the USA Patriot Act, (vi) provides for the filing of all necessary anti-money laundering reports including, but not limited to, currency transaction reports and suspicious activity reports, (vii) provides for screening all new and existing customers against the Office of Foreign Asset Control list and any other government list that is or becomes required under the Act and (viii) allows for appropriate regulators to examine its AML books and records.
(e) The Participant represents that from time to time it may be a Beneficial Owner (as that term is defined in Rule 16a-1(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) of Shares. To the extent that it is a Beneficial Owner of Shares, the Participant agrees to irrevocably appoint the Distributor as its attorney and proxy with full authorization and power to vote (or abstain from voting) its beneficially owned Shares. The Distributor, as attorney and proxy for the Participant under this Section 5(e), (i) is hereby given full power of substitution and revocation; (ii) may act through such agents, nominees or attorneys as it may appoint from time to time; and (iii) may provide voting instructions to such agents, nominees or substitute attorneys.
Payment Upon Death In the event of death of regular employees, the College will pay to their spouse, or if there is no spouse, to the estate of those deceased, one month's salary exclusive of any amount already earned by those deceased up to the date of which they last served.
Release upon Death (1) If a Securityholder dies, the Securityholder’s escrow securities will be released from escrow. The Escrow Agent will deliver any share certificates or other evidence of the escrow securities in the possession of the Escrow Agent to the Securityholder’s legal representative.
(2) Prior to delivery the Escrow Agent must receive:
(a) a certified copy of the death certificate; and
(b) any evidence of the legal representative’s status that the Escrow Agent may reasonably require.
Upon Death or Disability If the Executive dies, all provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement (other than rights or benefits arising as a result of such death) and the Employment Term shall be automatically terminated; provided, however, that an amount equal to the earned and unpaid Incentive Payments to the date of death and the Standard Termination Payments shall be paid to the Executive’s surviving spouse or, if none, the Executive’s estate (as set forth above), and the death benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans shall be paid to the Executive’s beneficiary or beneficiaries as properly designated in writing by the Executive. If the Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s job under this Agreement, with or without reasonable accommodation, by reason of physical or mental disability or incapacity (“Disability”) and such disability or incapacity shall have continued for any period aggregating six months within any 12 consecutive months, the Company may terminate this Agreement and the Employment Term at any time thereafter. In such event, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Executive’s normal compensation hereunder during said time of disability or incapacity, and shall thereafter be entitled to receive the “Disability Incentive Payment” (as described in the penultimate sentence of this subsection (b)) and the Standard Termination Payments (as set forth above). The portion of the payment representing the Disability Incentive Payment shall be paid in a lump sum determined on a net present value basis, using a reasonable discount rate determined by the Board. The Disability Incentive Payment shall be equal to the target Incentive Payment that the Executive would have been eligible to receive for the year in which the Employment Term is terminated multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year before and including the day of termination of the Employment Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such year. Subject to Section 19 below, the Disability Incentive Payment shall be payable in a lump sum on the 60th day after termination of the Executive’s employment.
Termination Upon Death or Permanent Disability This Agreement shall be automatically terminated on the death of Executive or on the permanent disability of Executive if Executive is no longer able to perform in all material respects the usual and customary duties of Executive’s employment hereunder. For purposes hereof, any condition which in reasonable likelihood is expected to impair Executive’s ability to materially perform Executive’s duties hereunder for a period of three months or more shall be considered to be permanent.
Repayment Upon Death If the Survivor's Option is affirmatively specified on the face hereof, the Holder of the Security shall have the right to require the Company to repay a Security prior to its maturity date upon the death of the beneficial owner of the Security as described below. The Company calls this right the "Survivor's Option." Upon exercise of the Survivor's Option, the Company will, at its option, either repay or repurchase any Security (or portion thereof) properly tendered for repayment by or on behalf of the person (the "Representative") that has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner of the Security at a price equal to the sum of: • 100% of the principal amount of the deceased beneficial owner's beneficial interest in such Security, and • accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of such repayment or repurchase, subject to the following limitations. The Survivor's Option may not be exercised unless the Security was owned by the beneficial owner or the estate of that beneficial owner at least six months prior to such exercise. In addition, the Company may limit the aggregate principal amount of Securities as to which the Survivor's Option may be exercised as follows: • In any calendar year, the Company may, in its sole discretion, limit the aggregate principal amount to the greater of 2% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Securities as of December 31 of the most recently completed calendar year or $2,000,000. The Company calls this limitation the "annual put limitation." • For any individual deceased beneficial owner of Securities, the Company may limit the aggregate principal amount to $250,000 for any calendar year. The Company calls this limitation the "individual put limitation." The Company will not make principal repayments pursuant to the exercise of the Survivor's Option except in principal amounts of $1,000 and multiples of $1,000. If the limitations described above would result in the partial repayment of any Security, the principal amount of the Security remaining outstanding after repayment must be at least $1,000. An otherwise valid election to exercise the Survivor's Option may not be withdrawn. Each Security (or portion thereof) tendered pursuant to a valid exercise of the Survivor's Option will be accepted in the order all such Securities are received by the Trustee, unless the acceptance of that Security would contravene the annual put limitation or the individual put limitation. If, as of the end of any calendar year, the aggregate principal amount of Securities (or portions thereof) that have been tendered pursuant to the valid exercise of the Survivor's Option during that year has exceeded either the annual put limitation or the individual put limitation for that year, any exercise(s) of the Survivor's Option with respect to Securities (or portions thereof) not accepted during such calendar year because such acceptance would have contravened either such limitation shall be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order all such Securities (or portions thereof) were originally tendered. Any Security (or portion thereof) accepted for repayment or repurchase pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option will be repaid or repurchased on the first Interest Payment Date to occur at least 20 calendar days after the date of acceptance. If that date is not a Business Day, payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day. In the event that a Security (or any portion thereof) tendered for repayment or repurchase pursuant to valid exercise of the Survivor's Option is not accepted, the Trustee will deliver a notice by first-class mail to the registered Holder, at that Holder's last known address as indicated in the Security register, that states the reason that the Security (or portion thereof) has not been accepted for repayment. Subject to the foregoing, in order to validly exercise a Survivor's Option, the Trustee must receive from the Representative of the deceased beneficial owner: • appropriate evidence satisfactory to the Trustee (A) that the deceased was the beneficial owner of such Security at the time of death and the interest in such Security was owned by the deceased beneficial owner or his or her estate at least six months prior to the request for repayment or purchase, (B) that the death of such beneficial owner has occurred, (C) of the date of such death, and (D) that the Representative has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner; • if the interest in the Security is held by a nominee of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee from such nominee attesting to the deceased's beneficial ownership of the Security; • a written request for repayment signed by the Representative, with the signature guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States; • if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement; • tax waivers and such other instruments or documents that the Trustee reasonably required in order to establish the validity of the beneficial ownership of the Security and the claimant's entitlement to payment; and • any additional information the Trustee reasonably required to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of the Survivor's Option or to document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and to cause the repayment or repurchase of the Security. Subject to the annual put limitation and the individual put limitation, all questions as to the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor's Option will be determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion. The Trustee's determination will be final and binding on all parties. The death of a person holding a beneficial interest in a Security as a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety with another person, or as a tenant in common with the deceased Holder's spouse, will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of the Security, and the entire principal amount of the Security so held will be subject to the Survivor's Option. The death of a person holding a beneficial interest in a Security as a tenant in common with a person other than such deceased Holder's spouse will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of a Security only with respect to the deceased Holder's interest in the Security. The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial interests of ownership of a Security will be deemed the death of the beneficial owner for purposes of the Survivor's Option, regardless of the registered Holder of the Security, if such beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Trustee. Such beneficial interest will be deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, community property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife and custodial and trust arrangements where one person has substantially all of the beneficial ownership interest in the Security during his or her lifetime. For Securities represented by a Global Security, the Depositary or its nominee shall be the holder of such Security and therefore shall be the only entity that can exercise the Survivor's Option for such Security. To obtain repayment or repurchase pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option with respect to such Security, the Representative must provide to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest in such Security is held by the deceased beneficial owner (i) the documents described in the third preceding paragraph and (ii) written instructions to such broker or other entity to notify the Depositary of such Representative's desire to obtain repayment or repurchase pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option. Such broker or other entity shall provide to the Trustee (i) the documents received from the Representative referred to in clause (i) of the preceding sentence and (ii) a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee from such broker or other entity stating that it represents the deceased beneficial owner. Such broker or other entity shall be responsible for disbursing any payments it receives pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option to the appropriate Representative.
Termination on Death or Disability If the employment of the Executive is terminated due to the Executive’s death or Disability, the Company shall have no further liability or further obligation to the Executive except that the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or, if applicable, the Executive’s estate or designated beneficiaries under any Company-sponsored employee benefit plan in the event of his death) the following compensation and benefits:
(i) The Accrued Obligations, at the times provided and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8(a)(i) above;
(ii) An amount equal to the Cash Bonus at the Target Percentage for which the Executive is eligible for the year in which the Executive’s death or Disability occurs, prorated for the portion of such year during which the Executive was employed by the Company prior to the Executive’s death or termination of employment due to Disability (less any payments in respect of such Cash Bonus related to that performance year received by the Executive during such year), such amount to be paid within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s death or such termination of employment due to Disability;
(iii) Any and all outstanding Unvested Shares shall immediately vest and any restrictions thereon shall immediately lapse upon the Executive’s death or termination of employment due to Disability (the acceleration of any other equity incentives granted to the Executive under any equity incentive plan of the Guarantor in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment due to death or Disability shall be governed by the applicable plan and related grant documents); and
(iv) If the Executive is eligible for and elects to receive continued coverage under the Company’s medical and health benefits plan(s) in accordance with the provisions of COBRA for the Executive and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents, or if the Executive’s eligible dependents are eligible for such continued coverage due to the Executive’s death, then the Company shall reimburse the Executive or such dependents for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Executive’s termination of employment due to death or Disability (or, if less, for the period that the Executive or any such dependent is eligible for such COBRA continuation coverage) for the excess of (A) the amount that the Executive or any such dependent is required to pay monthly to maintain such continued coverage under COBRA, over (B) the amount that the Executive would have paid monthly to participate in the Company’s group health benefits plan(s) had the Executive continued to be an employee of the Company.
