Term; Termination of Employment The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) begins on the Effective Date and will end, along with Executive’s employment with the Company, on the earliest to occur of the following events.
Payments Upon Termination of Employment (a) If Executive's employment with the Company is terminated by reason of:
Other Termination of Employment In the event of your voluntary termination (other than a Retirement subject to Section 2(c) or a Qualifying Termination subject to Section 2(f)), or termination by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company for misconduct or other conduct deemed by the Company to be detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, you shall forfeit all unvested RSUs on the date of termination.
Involuntary Termination of Employment If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Executive's employment with the Bank is involuntarily terminated for any reason including termination due to disability of the Executive, but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such involuntary termination of employment, the Bank shall be required to record a final Phantom Contribution in an amount equal to: (i) the full Phantom Contribution required for the Plan Year in which such involuntary termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Phantom Contributions.
Termination of Employees Agent may in its discretion stop using any Retained Employee at any time during the Sale, subject to the conditions provided for herein. In the event that Agent desires to cease using any Retained Employee, Agent shall notify Merchant at least seven (7) days prior thereto, so that Merchant may coordinate the termination of such employee; provided, however, that, in the event that Agent determines to cease using an employee “for cause” (which shall consist of dishonesty, fraud or breach of employee duties), the seven (7) day notice period shall not apply, provided further, however, that Agent shall immediately notify Merchant of the basis for such “cause” so that Merchant can arrange for termination of such employee. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Sale Termination Date, Merchant shall not transfer or dismiss Retained Employees except “for cause” without Agent’s prior consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not have the right to terminate the actual employment of any Retained Employee, but rather may only cease using such employee in the Sale and paying any Expenses with respect to such employee.
Termination of Employment for Cause If Optionee’s employment with the Bancorp or a subsidiary corporation is terminated for cause, this option shall expire thirty (30) days from the date of such termination. Termination for cause shall include, but not be limited to, termination for malfeasance or gross misfeasance in the performance of duties or conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude, and, in any event, the determination of the Board of Directors with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive.
Effect of Termination of Employment or Death If Employee goes on leave of absence for a period of greater than twelve months (except a leave of absence approved by the Board of Directors or the Committee) or ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason except death, the portion of the SARs which is unexercisable on the date on which Employee ceased to be an Employee or has been on a leave of absence for over twelve months (except a leave of absence approved by the Board or Committee) shall expire on such date and any unexercised portion of the SARs which was otherwise exercisable on such date shall expire at the earlier of (i) the expiration of the SARs in accordance with the term for which the SARs were granted, or (ii) three months from such date, except in the case of an Employee who is an “Approved Retiree” as defined below. If Employee is an Approved Retiree, then the SARs shall expire at the sooner to occur of (i) the expiration of such SARs in accordance with their original term, (ii) the expiration of five years from the date of retirement, or (iii) with respect to SARs granted less than one year before the date the Approved Retiree retires, such retirement date, except not with respect to that portion of the SARs equal to the number of such shares multiplied by the ratio of (a) the number of days between the Award Date and the retirement date inclusive, over (b) the number of days in the twelve (12) month period following the Award Date. In the event of the death of Employee without Approved Retiree status during the three (3) month period following termination of employment or a leave of absence over twelve (12) months (except a leave of absence approved by the Board or Committee), the SARs shall be exercisable by Employee’s personal representative, heirs or legatees to the same extent and during the same period that Employee could have exercised the SARs if Employee had not died. In the event of the death of Employee while an employee of the Company or while an Approved Retiree, the SARs (if the waiting period has elapsed) shall be exercisable in their entirety by Employee’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees at any time prior to the expiration of one year from the date of the death of Employee, but in no event after the term for which the SARs were granted. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Approved Retiree” is any SAR holder who (i) terminates employment by reason of a Disability, or (ii) (A) retires from employment with the Company with the specific approval of the Committee on or after such date on which the SAR holder has attained age 55 and completed 10 Years of Service, and (B) has entered into and has not breached an agreement to refrain from Engaging in Competition in form and substance satisfactory to the Committee; and if the Committee subsequently determines, in its sole discretion, that an Approved Retiree has violated the provisions of the Agreement to refrain from Engaging in Competition, or has engaged in willful acts or omissions or acts or omissions of gross negligence that are or potentially are injurious to the Company’s operations, financial condition or business reputation, such Approved Retiree shall have ninety (90) days from the date of such finding within which to exercise any SARs or portions thereof which are exercisable on such date, and any SARs or portions thereof which are not exercised within such ninety (90) day period shall expire and any SARs or portion thereof which are not exercisable on such date shall be cancelled on such date.
