Any provision of benefits pursuant to this Section 4(a)(iii) in one (1) tax year of the Executive (the “Executive Tax Year”) shall not affect the amount of such benefits to be provided in any other Executive Tax Year. The right to such benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

  • Welfare Benefits Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of Involuntary Termination (and an additional twelve (12) months if the Executive provides consulting services under Section 14(f) hereof), the Executive and his dependents shall be provided with life, disability, accident and group medical benefits which are substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the date of Involuntary Termination or the Change in Control Date, whichever is more favorable to the Executive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the continuing benefits described in the preceding sentence shall be provided on substantially the same terms and conditions and at the same cost to the Executive as in effect immediately prior to the date of Involuntary Termination or the Change in Control Date, whichever is more favorable to the Executive. Such benefits shall be provided in a manner that complies with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sempra Energy determines in its sole discretion that the portion of the foregoing continuing benefits that constitute group medical benefits cannot be provided without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act) or that the provision of such group medical benefits under this Agreement would subject Sempra Energy or any of its Affiliates to a material tax or penalty, (i) the Executive shall be provided, in lieu thereof, with a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly premium that the Executive would be required to pay to continue the Executive’s and his covered dependents’ group medical benefit coverages under COBRA as then in effect (which amount shall be based on the premiums for the first month of COBRA coverage) or (ii) Sempra Energy shall have the authority to amend the Agreement to the limited extent reasonably necessary to avoid such violation of law or tax or penalty and shall use all reasonable efforts to provide the Executive with a comparable benefit that does not violate applicable law or subject Sempra Energy or any of its Affiliates to such tax or penalty.

  • Continuation of Welfare Benefits For the twenty-four (24) month period immediately following the Date of Termination, the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive and his dependents life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits and other benefits and perquisites (including employee stay rates) substantially similar to those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided to the Executive and his dependents immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, at no greater cost to the Executive than the cost to the Executive immediately prior to such date or occurrence. Benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Section 6(a)(2) shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received by the Executive from another employer during the twenty-four (24) month period following the Executive's termination of employment; provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the excess, if any, of the cost of such benefits to the Executive over such cost immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.

  • Retirement and Welfare Benefits During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s health, life insurance, long-term disability, retirement and welfare benefit plans, and programs available to similarly-situated employees of the Company, pursuant to their respective terms and conditions. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company or any Affiliate (as defined below) of the Company from terminating or amending any employee benefit plan or program from time to time after the Effective Date.

  • Welfare Benefit Plans During the Employment Period, the Executive and/or the Executive's family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and its affiliated companies (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to the extent applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with benefits which are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of such plans, practices, policies and programs in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.

  • Continued Employee Benefits If Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents, the Company will reimburse Executive for the premiums necessary to continue group health insurance benefits for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents until the earlier of (A) a period of nine (9) months from the date of Executive’s termination of employment, (B) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents becomes covered under similar plans or (C) the date upon which Executive ceases to be eligible for coverage under COBRA (such reimbursements, the “COBRA Premiums”). However, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot pay the COBRA Premiums without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment payable on the last day of a given month (except as provided by the following sentence), in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue Executive’s group health coverage in effect on the date of Executive’s termination of employment (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments will be made regardless of whether Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and will commence on the month following Executive’s termination of employment and will end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which Executive obtains other employment or (y) the date the Company has paid an amount equal to nine (9) payments. For the avoidance of doubt, the taxable payments in lieu of COBRA Premiums may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Agreement, if at any time the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the payments contemplated by the preceding sentence without violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), Executive will not receive such payment or any further reimbursements for COBRA premiums.

  • Health and Welfare Benefit Plans During the Employment Period, Executive and Executive’s immediate family shall be entitled to participate in such health and welfare benefit plans as the Employer shall maintain from time to time for the benefit of senior executive officers of the Employer and their families, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such plan. Nothing in this Section shall limit the Employer’s right to change or modify or terminate any benefit plan or program as it sees fit from time to time in the normal course of business so long as it does so for all senior executives of the Employer.

  • Health and Welfare Benefits Executive shall be entitled to participate, without discrimination or duplication, in any and all medical insurance, group health, disability, life, accidental death, dismemberment insurance, 401(k) or other retirement, deferred compensation, profit sharing, stock ownership and such other plans and programs which are made generally available by the Company to its other senior executives in accordance with the terms of such plans and programs and subject to the Company’s right to at any time amend or terminate any such plan or program.

  • Employees; Benefit Plans (a) Following the Closing Date, BHB may choose to maintain any or all of the LSBG Benefit Plans in its sole discretion. Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, LSBG shall terminate any LSBG Benefit Plans for which participant consent is not required and that BHB has requested to be terminated by providing written notice to LSBG at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date. No later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, LSBG shall provide BHB with evidence that such LSBG Benefit Plans have been terminated. However, for any LSBG Benefit Plan terminated for which there is a comparable BHB Benefit Plan of general applicability (other than the defined benefit pension plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by BHB), BHB shall take all reasonable action so that employees of LSBG shall be entitled to participate in such BHB Benefit Plan to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of BHB (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of LSBG in the BHB Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans). BHB shall cause each BHB Benefit Plan in which employees of LSBG are eligible to participate to take into account for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the BHB Benefit Plans (but not for purposes of benefit accrual) the service of such employees with LSBG and its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by LSBG (other than for the defined benefit pension plan or any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by BHB); provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of BHB to amend or terminate any of the LSBG Benefit Plans or BHB Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms at any time; provided, however, that BHB shall continue to maintain the LSBG Benefit Plans (other than stock-based or incentive plans and the defined benefit pension plan and any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements) for which there is a comparable BHB Benefit Plan until the LSBG Employees are permitted to participate in the BHB Benefit Plans, unless such BHB Benefit Plan has been frozen or terminated with respect to similarly-situated employees of BHB or any Subsidiary of BHB.
