Bonus Payments In addition to Base Salary, Executive shall be entitled, during the Employment Term, to participate in and receive payments from all bonus and other incentive compensation plans (as currently in effect, as modified from time to time, or as subsequently adopted) of the Company; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall grant Executive the right to continue in any bonus or other incentive compensation plan following its discontinuance by the Board (except to the extent Executive had earned or otherwise accumulated vested rights therein prior to such discontinuance).
Bonus Payment Executive will receive a lump-sum payment equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the higher of (A) the greater of (x) Executive’s target bonus for the fiscal year in which the Change of Control occurs (as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control) or (y) Executive’s target bonus as in effect for the fiscal year in which Executive’s termination of employment occurs, or (B) Executive’s actual bonus for performance during the calendar year prior to the calendar year during which the termination of employment occurs. For avoidance of doubt, the amount paid to Executive pursuant to this Section 3(b)(iii) will not be prorated based on the actual amount of time Executive is employed by the Company during the fiscal year (or the relevant performance period if something different than a fiscal year) during which the termination occurs.
Cash Bonuses The Chief Executive Officer shall determine the Executive’s right to receive cash bonuses. Cash bonuses shall be awarded annually based upon the Executive’s and the Company’s annual performance pursuant to the Company’s policy. 5.
Bonus Amount For purposes of this Agreement, "Bonus Amount" shall mean the greater of (a) the target annual bonus payable to the Executive under the Incentive Plan in respect of the fiscal year during which the Termination Date occurs or (b) the highest annual bonus paid or payable under the Incentive Plan in respect of any of the three full fiscal years ended prior to the Termination Date or, if greater, the three (3) full fiscal years ended prior to the Change in Control.
Cash Bonus Executive shall be entitled to a fraction of any Cash Bonus for the fiscal year of the Company within which Executive’s termination of employment occurs which, based upon the criteria established for such Cash Bonus, would have been payable to Executive had he remained employed through the date of payment, the numerator of which is the number of days of such fiscal year prior to his termination of employment and the denominator of which is three hundred and sixty-five (365); and
Signing Bonus The Executive shall receive a signing bonus equal to $2,250,000 (the “Signing Bonus”), payable within thirty (30) days following March 15, 2019, subject to the Executive’s continued employment through such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause or resigns for Good Reason prior to March 15, 2019, the Signing Bonus will remain outstanding and payable in accordance with this Section 6(c).
Severance Payments 6.1 If the Executive's employment is terminated following a Change in Control and during the Term, other than (A) by the Company for Cause, (B) by reason of death or Disability, or (C) by the Executive without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts, and provide the Executive the benefits, described in this Section 6.1 ("Severance Payments") and Section 6.2, in addition to any payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Section 5 hereof; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be entitled to the Severance Payments unless and until the Executive (or, in the event of the Executive's death, the executor, personal representative or administrator of the Executive's estate) has signed a written waiver and release substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit A hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, if (i) during the Term the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause following a Potential Change in Control but prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and such termination was at the request or direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control, (ii) during the Term the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason following a Potential Change in Control but prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the request or direction of such Person or (iii) during the Term the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason and such termination or the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs). An Executive will not be considered to have been terminated by reason of the divestiture of a facility, sale or other disposition of a business or business unit, or the outsourcing of a business activity with which the Executive is affiliated, notwithstanding the fact that such divestiture, sale or outsourcing takes place within two years following a Change in Control, if the Executive is offered comparable employment by the successor company and such successor company agrees to assume the Company's obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.
Incentive Payments (i) Amount in the Event of a Termination Pursuant to Sections 7(a) or 7(c). In the event of a termination pursuant to Sections 7(a) or 7(c) of this Agreement, Employee shall be offered the opportunity to receive Incentive Payments in a total amount equal to 0.500 times the sum of Employee’s most recent annual base salary and target bonus, payable in equal installments on the same pay schedule in effect at the time of termination over a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination.
Retention Bonuses Provided Executive becomes and remains an active employee of Mercantile, Mercantile will pay Executive retention bonuses in accordance with the following schedule:
Cash Incentive Bonus The pro rata share of any Cash Incentive Bonus that would have been paid to the Executive had the Executive not been terminated Without Cause based on the extent to which performance standards are met on the last day of the year in which the Executive is terminated Without Cause.
