Company’s Right to Terminate Employee’s Employment for Cause The Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment hereunder at any time for “Cause.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:
Termination of Service for Cause If your Service is terminated by the Company for Cause or if you commit an act(s) of Cause while this Option is outstanding, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your Option without consideration, including any vested portion of the Option, and the entire Option shall immediately expire, and any rights, payments and benefits with respect to the Option shall be subject to reduction or recoupment in accordance with the Clawback Policy and the Plan. For avoidance of doubt, your Service shall also be deemed to have been terminated for Cause by the Company if, after your Service has otherwise terminated, facts and circumstances are discovered that would have justified a termination for Cause, including, without limitation, your violation of Company policies or breach of confidentiality or other restrictive covenants or conditions that may apply to you prior to or after your Termination Date.
Termination of Status as an Employee If the Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee for any reason other than death or for Cause (as defined in the Plan) and thereby terminates his status as an Employee, the Optionee shall have the right to exercise this Option at any time within ninety (90) days following the date of such termination, to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, but in no event after the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in Section 2 hereof. If the Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee due to death, this Option may be exercised at any time within one (1) year following the date of death by the Optionee's executor or administrator or the person or persons who shall have acquired the Option by bequest or inheritance but only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise this option at the date of death. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination or death, or to the extent the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, this Option shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2 hereof. If the Optionee ceases to serve as an Employee due to termination of his employment by the Company for cause (as defined in the Plan), this Option shall cease to be exercisable ten (10) days following the date the notice of such termination is delivered to the Optionee.
Termination on Death or Disability Upon a termination of employment due to the Executive’s death or Disability, the Company shall have no further liability or further obligation to the Executive except that the Executive (or, if applicable, his estate or designated beneficiaries under any Company-sponsored employee benefit plan in the event of his death) shall be entitled to receive:
Death or Disability of Optionee In the event of the death or disability (as that term is defined in the Plan, "Disability") of the Optionee within a period during which the Option, or any part thereof, could have been exercised by the Optionee ("Option Period"), the Option shall lapse unless it is exercised within the Option Period and in no event later than twelve months after the date of the Optionee's death or Disability by the Optionee or the Optionee's legal representative or representatives in the case of a Disability or, in the case of death, by the person or persons entitled to do so under the Optionee's last will and testament or if the Optionee fails to make a testamentary disposition of the Option or shall die intestate, by the person or persons entitled to receive the Option under the applicable laws of descent and distribution. An Option may be exercised following the death or Disability of the Optionee only if the Option was exercisable by the Optionee immediately prior to his death or Disability. In no event shall the Option be exercisable after the Expiration Date. The Committee shall have the right to require evidence satisfactory to it of the rights of any person or persons seeking to exercise the Option under this paragraph 8 to exercise the Option.
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.
Termination Because of Death or Total Disability If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Total Disability during the Post-Change in Control Period, this Agreement shall terminate automatically without further obligations to the Executive or his or her legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations (which shall be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable in the case of the Executive’s death).
Upon Death or Disability If the Executive dies, all provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement (other than rights or benefits arising as a result of such death) and the Employment Term shall be automatically terminated; provided, however, that an amount equal to the earned and unpaid Incentive Payments to the date of death and the Standard Termination Payments shall be paid, as described above, to the Executive’s surviving spouse or, if none, the Executive’s estate (as set forth above), and the death benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans shall be paid to the Executive’s beneficiary or beneficiaries as properly designated in writing by the Executive, in accordance with the Company’s applicable employee benefit plans. If the Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s job under this Agreement, with or without reasonable accommodation, by reason of physical or mental disability or incapacity (“Disability”) and such disability or incapacity shall have continued for any period aggregating six (6) months within any twelve (12) consecutive months, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment, this Agreement and the Employment Term at any time thereafter. In such event, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Executive’s normal compensation hereunder during said time of disability or incapacity, and shall thereafter be entitled to receive the “Disability Incentive Payment” (as described in the penultimate sentence of this subsection (b)), payable no later than two and a half (2 1/2) months after the Company terminates the Executive’s employment, and the earned and unpaid Incentive Payments to the date of termination of the Executive’s employment and the Standard Termination Payments, payable as described above. The portion of the payment representing the Disability Incentive Payment shall be paid in a lump sum determined on a net present value basis, using a reasonable discount rate determined by the Board. The Disability Incentive Payment shall be equal to the target Incentive Payment that the Executive would have been eligible to receive for the year in which the Employment Term is terminated multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year before and including the day of termination of the Employment Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such year.
By Death or Disability Executive’s employment and this Agreement shall terminate upon Executive’s Disability or death. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean Executive's inability, due to physical or mental incapacity, to perform the essential functions of Executive's job, with or without reasonable accommodation, for one hundred eighty (180) days out of any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period; provided however, in the event that the Company temporarily replaces the Executive, or transfers the Executive's duties or responsibilities to another individual on account of the Executive's inability to perform such duties due to a mental or physical incapacity which is, or is reasonably expected to become, a Disability, then the Executive's employment shall not be deemed terminated by the Company. Any question as to the existence of the Executive's Disability as to which the Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be determined in writing by a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to the Executive and the Company. If the Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each shall appoint such a physician and those two physicians shall select a third who shall make such determination in writing. The determination of Disability made in writing to the Company and the Executive shall be final and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company shall give Executive written notice of termination for Disability and the termination shall be effective as of the date specified in such notice.
Termination of Services If the Optionee’s services with the Company and all Related Corporations are terminated for any reason (other than death or disability) prior to the Expiration Date, then this Option may be exercised by Optionee, to the extent of the number of Common Shares with respect to which the Optionee could have exercised it on the date of such termination of services, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date, or (ii) three months after such termination of services. Any part of the Option that was not exercisable immediately before the termination of Optionee’s services shall terminate at that time.
