(ii) a lump sum payment equal to the Executive’s Target Bonus for the fiscal year in which the Termination Date (as determined in accordance with Section 5.6) occurs (or if greater, the year in which the Change in Control occurs), which shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date; provided that, if the Release Execution Period begins in one taxable year and ends in another taxable year, payment shall not be made until the beginning of the second taxable year.
(b) Notwithstanding the terms of any equity incentive plan or award agreements, as applicable:
(i) all outstanding unvested stock options or stock appreciation rights granted to the Executive during the Employment Term shall become fully vested and exercisable for the remainder of their full term;
(ii) all outstanding equity-based compensation awards other than stock options or stock appreciation rights that are not intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall become fully vested and the restrictions thereon shall lapse; provided that, any delays in the settlement or payment of such awards that are set forth in the applicable award agreement and that are required under Section 409A shall remain in effect; and,
(iii) all outstanding equity-based compensation awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights that are intended to constitute performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall remain outstanding and shall vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements, if the applicable performance goals are satisfied.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following after the Effective Date:
Termination After a Change in Control You will receive Severance Benefits under this Agreement if, during the Term of this Agreement and after a Change in Control has occurred, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than on account of your Disability or death) or you resign for Good Reason.
Change in Control Benefit If a Change in Control occurs followed within twenty-four (24) months by Separation from Service prior to Normal Retirement Age, the Bank shall distribute to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.4 in lieu of any other benefit under this Article.
Termination Apart from Change of Control In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated for any reason, either prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control or after the twelve (12) month period following a Change of Control, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive severance and any other benefits only as may then be established under the Company’s (or any subsidiary’s) then existing severance and benefits plans or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company.
Change of Control Termination If, during a Protected Period following a Change of Control, the Company terminates Executive’s employment during the Term without Cause, Executive resigns his employment upon the expiration of the Term following the Company’s election not to extend the Term, or Executive resigns his employment during the Term for Good Reason, then Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) payment of the Accrued Obligation and any unreimbursed business expenses and (ii) subject to the satisfaction of any applicable performance targets, as described in Section 3.3, any of Executive’s unpaid Bonuses with respect to a previous calendar year completed prior to the Date of Termination (without regard to any requirement that Executive remain employed through the date of determination of such Bonuses). In addition, subject to Executive’s (x) delivery to the Company by the Release Expiration Date (and non-revocation in any time provided to do so) of an executed Release and (y) compliance with Articles V, VI, and VII, Executive shall also be entitled to receive:
(1) a payment of the Annual Bonus for the calendar year during which Executive’s employment is terminated at the target level;
(2) any and all long-term equity compensation awards granted to Executive under any plan not previously vested shall become fully vested, with any unexercised options as of the Date of Termination remaining exercisable for the full term thereof; provided, however, that, with respect to any award that is intended to be performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, such award shall be paid at the target level without regard to any performance goal otherwise applicable thereto;
(3) a lump sum payment of an amount equal to three (3) times the sum of (A) the annualized rate of Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the Date of Termination and (B) Executive’s target Annual Bonus for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs; and
(4) a lump sum payment of an amount equal to all COBRA premiums that would be payable during the period beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the date that is three (3) years after the Date of Termination, assuming Executive and his dependents who were enrolled in the Company’s group health plans as of the Date of Termination elected continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plans as in effect, and at the applicable COBRA rates, as of the Date of Termination, without regard to whether Executive and his dependents actually elected such coverage or whether actual COBRA coverage is applicable for the above-referenced time period.
Termination Upon a Change in Control If Executive’s employment with the Employer is subject to a Termination within a Covered Period, then, in addition to Minimum Benefits, the Employer shall provide Executive the following benefits:
(i) On the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, the Employer shall pay Executive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the Severance Amount.
(ii) Executive (and Executive’s dependents, as may be applicable) shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 4(e).
Change in Control Benefits In the event there is a Change in Control, as defined below, and the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason or by the Employer without Cause (other than on account of the Executive’s death or disability), in each case within twelve (12) months either (a) after Executive’s employment has terminated or (b) following a Change in Control, the Executive shall be entitled to be paid, in a single lump sum, severance equal to two (2) years’ salary at that salary rate being paid to Executive as of the date of the Executive’s termination together with an amount equal to one times (1.0x) the average of the Annual Bonus paid to Executive for services during the preceding three (3) calendar years (or the Executive’s period of employment, if less than three (3) years), provided; that, in the event the Executive’s employment has terminated and Executive has been paid a severance benefit under Section 6 of this Agreement, such change in control benefit under this Section 7 shall be reduced by the amount of the severance benefit previously paid. Executive acknowledges and agrees that such payment is in lieu of all damages, payments and liabilities on account of the early termination of this Agreement and is the sole and exclusive remedy for Executive (other than rights, if any, to exercise any of the stock options vested prior to such termination), and shall only be paid, within 60 days after his separation from service with Employer, subject to Executive’s execution and delivery to Employer, within such 60-day period, of a complete release of all claims Executive may have against the Employer, its officers, directors, agents, employees, predecessors, successors, parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates. If the 60-day period referred to in the immediately preceding sentence begins in one calendar year and ends in the following calendar year, then the payment shall be made in the latter calendar year. If upon termination of employment Executive chooses to arbitrate any claims pursuant to Section 18, Executive shall be deemed to have waived Executive’s right, if any, to severance.
ISDA Early Termination Date Party A has the right to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement;
