Separation from Service A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination also constitutes a “Separation from Service” within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment,” “separation from service” or like terms shall mean Separation from Service.
Termination of Employment Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated under the following circumstances:
Involuntary Termination of Employment If the Executive does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Executive's employment with the Bank is involuntarily terminated for any reason, including a termination due to disability of the Executive but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such involuntary termination of employment, the Bank shall be required to make an immediate lump sum Contribution to the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund in an amount equal to: (i) the full 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 Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund; provided however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Executive with after tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of the Executive's termination) beginning at his Benefit Age, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Executive if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106.
Voluntary Termination of Employment If during the Employment Term, Executive terminates his employment under circumstances other than those specified elsewhere in this Section 8, Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits specified in Section 8(a).
Separation from Employment You will, upon separation from employment with the Company and its subsidiaries for any reason (such as termination, resignation, death or disability) (each, a “Separation”), receive such salary and other benefits as have accrued as of the date and time of Separation, and as may otherwise be required by law, as well as such Salary, bonuses and benefits as may be due and owing under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event that the Company determines in good faith that your Separation is not considered a “separation from service” under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h) because (a) you have not separated but have changed status to a part time employee, consultant or independent contractor performing more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services (whether as an employee, consultant or independent contractor) you performed over the immediately preceding 36-month period, or (b) you are continuing employment with another entity that is considered a single entity with the Company (“Employer Group”) under Section 414(b) or (c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any Severance Benefits to which you may be entitled under other provisions of this Agreement shall begin immediately when your status changes such that the Company determines that you have “separated from service” under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h). For this purpose, service performed as an employee or as an independent contractor is counted, except that service as a member of the board of directors of a member of the Employer Group is not counted unless termination benefits under this Agreement are aggregated for purposes of Section 409A of the Code with benefits under any other Employer Group plan or agreement in which you also participate as a director. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and determined pursuant to procedures adopted by the Company) at the time of your separation from service and if any portion of the payments or benefits to be received by you upon separation from service would be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following your separation from service shall instead be paid or made available, with interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate as of the date of separation from service, on the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh month following the date of your separation from service or (ii) your death.
Retirement, Death or Disability If the Executive’s employment terminates during the Term of this Agreement due to his death, a disability that results in his collection of any long-term disability benefits, or retirement at or after age 62, the Executive (or the beneficiaries of his estate) shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits that the Executive would otherwise have become entitled to receive pursuant to subsection (d) hereof upon a resignation without Good Reason.
Termination of Employment Severance Your immediate supervisor or the Company's Board of Directors may terminate your employment, with or without cause, at any time by giving you written notice of your termination, such termination of employment to be effective on the date specified in the notice. You also may terminate your employment with the Company at any time. The effective date of termination (the "Effective Date") shall be the last day of your employment with the Company, as specified in a notice by you, or if you are terminated by the Company, the date that is specified by the Company in its notice to you. The following subsections set forth your rights to severance in the event of the termination of your employment in certain circumstances by either the Company or you. Section 5 also sets forth certain restrictions on your activities if your employment with the Company is terminated, whether by the Company or you. That section shall survive any termination of this Agreement or your employment with the Company.
Termination of Employment Due to Death or Disability If your employment with the Company terminates due to death or Disability, in each case, prior to the Vesting Date, your Adjusted PSUs will vest and convert into Shares on the Adjustment Date (even though you are not employed by the Company on the Vesting Date). Upon a termination of employment due to death, the Adjusted PSUs shall be delivered in accordance with Section 10.
Termination of Service (a) If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Participant’s Service with the Company shall terminate (the date of termination being the “Date of Termination”) by reason of a Normal Termination (as defined in the Plan), the Options shall remain exercisable until the earlier of the Expiration Date or the day three (3) months after the Date of Termination to the extent the Options were vested and exercisable as of the Date of Termination.
(b) If the Participant’s Service with the Company shall cease prior to the Expiration Date by reason of death or disability, or the Participant shall die or become disabled while entitled to exercise any of the Options pursuant to paragraph 3(a), the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative, or, in the case of death, the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant or the person or persons to whom the Options shall have been validly transferred by the executor or administrator pursuant to will or the laws of descent and distribution, shall have the right, until the earlier of the Expiration Date or one year after the date of death or disability, to exercise the Options to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise them on the date of death or disability.
(c) If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Participant’s Service with the Company is terminated for “Cause” (as defined in the Plan), (i) unless otherwise provided by the Committee, the Options, to the extent not exercised as of the Date of Termination, shall lapse and be canceled, and (ii) all shares of Common Stock received pursuant to an exercise of the Options after such termination, in contravention of subsection (i) above, may be purchased by the Company at its discretion for the exercise price of such shares paid by the Participant. If the Participant’s Service relationship with the Company is suspended pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall be terminated for Cause, all the Participant’s rights with respect to the Options shall be suspended during the period of investigation.
(d) If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Participant’s Service with the Company is terminated other than for Cause, a Normal Termination, death or disability, the Options, to the extent then vested and exercisable as of the Date of Termination, shall remain exercisable until the earlier of the Expiration Date or thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination.
(e) After the expiration of any exercise period described in any of Sections 3(a) - (d) hereof, or otherwise upon the Expiration Date, the Options shall terminate together with all of the Participant’s rights hereunder, to the extent not previously exercised.
Resignation of Employment The Executive confirms his/her resignation of his/her employment and of his/her position as an officer of the Company effective (the “Resignation Date”). The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Executive’s resignation of employment constitutes a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (a “Separation from Service”). As of the Resignation Date, the Employment Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect, and neither the Company nor the Executive shall have any further obligations thereunder, except as expressly provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be obligated to Executive for severance payments and continuation of benefits as contemplated by Section 7 of the Employment Agreement and as set forth in Section 3 below.
