Payment after Vesting Any Performance Shares that vest in accordance with paragraphs 3 through 4 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, subject to paragraph 9, but in no event later than the applicable two and one-half (2 1/2) month period of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in the Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Performance Shares are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, the vested Performance Shares will be released to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares as soon as practicable following the date of vesting, subject to paragraph 9, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year that includes the date of vesting or, if later, the fifteen (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the date of vesting (provided that the Employee will not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment). Further, if some or all of the Performance Shares that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A vest on account of the Employee’s Termination of Service (other than due to death) in accordance with paragraphs 3 through 4, the Performance Shares that vest on account of the Employee’s Termination of Service will not be considered due or payable until the Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, if the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of the Employee’s separation from service (other than due to death), then any accelerated Performance Shares will be paid to the Employee no earlier than six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Employee’s separation from service unless the Employee dies following his or her separation from service, in which case, the Performance Shares will be paid to the Employee’s estate as soon as practicable following his or her death, subject to paragraph 9. Any Performance Shares that vest in accordance with paragraph 5 will be paid to the Employee (or in the event of the Employee’s death, to his or her estate) in Shares in accordance with the provisions of such paragraph, subject to paragraph 9. For each Performance Share that vests, the Employee will receive one Share.
Termination on Death or Disability If the employment of the Executive is terminated due to the Executive’s death or Disability, the Company shall have no further liability or further obligation to the Executive except that the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (or, if applicable, the Executive’s estate or designated beneficiaries under any Company-sponsored employee benefit plan in the event of his death) the following compensation and benefits:
(i) The Accrued Obligations, at the times provided and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8(a)(i) above;
(ii) An amount equal to the Cash Bonus at the Target Percentage for which the Executive is eligible for the year in which the Executive’s death or Disability occurs, prorated for the portion of such year during which the Executive was employed by the Company prior to the Executive’s death or termination of employment due to Disability (less any payments in respect of such Cash Bonus related to that performance year received by the Executive during such year), such amount to be paid within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s death or such termination of employment due to Disability;
(iii) Any and all outstanding Unvested Shares shall immediately vest and any restrictions thereon shall immediately lapse upon the Executive’s death or termination of employment due to Disability (the acceleration of any other equity incentives granted to the Executive under any equity incentive plan of the Guarantor in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment due to death or Disability shall be governed by the applicable plan and related grant documents); and
(iv) If the Executive is eligible for and elects to receive continued coverage under the Company’s medical and health benefits plan(s) in accordance with the provisions of COBRA for the Executive and, if applicable, the Executive’s eligible dependents, or if the Executive’s eligible dependents are eligible for such continued coverage due to the Executive’s death, then the Company shall reimburse the Executive or such dependents for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Executive’s termination of employment due to death or Disability (or, if less, for the period that the Executive or any such dependent is eligible for such COBRA continuation coverage) for the excess of (A) the amount that the Executive or any such dependent is required to pay monthly to maintain such continued coverage under COBRA, over (B) the amount that the Executive would have paid monthly to participate in the Company’s group health benefits plan(s) had the Executive continued to be an employee of the Company.
