Extended Separation Benefits Sample Clauses

Extended Separation Benefits. The Company maintains a broad-based program to shelter employees at all levels from any adverse consequences which might result from a change in control of the Company. A change in control is defined in the program to include such time that any person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's voting securities or certain changes occur in the constitution of the Company's Board of Directors. Pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board of Directors in 1998, the period of salary continuation normally extended to employees whose employment is terminated as a result of a workforce reduction or reorganization (which period ranges from six to 24 weeks depending upon the length of service with the Company) is tripled if employment is terminated by the Company (other than for cause) as a result of a change in control. In addition to this policy, the Company has entered into employment agreements with certain management-level employees, pursuant to which among other matters, such employees will receive one year's compensation and continuation for up to one year of medical and life insurance benefits if their employment is terminated by the Company (other than for cause) within 12 months following a change in control. The Company also has agreements with a number of divisional and group vice presidents who are not executive officers, which provide such vice presidents with a multiple of their annualized includible compensation (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) and continuation for up to three years of medical, life and other welfare benefits if their employment is terminated by the Company (other than for cause), if their responsibilities or base salaries are materially diminished, or if certain other adverse changes occur within 24 months following a change in control.

The Separation Pay shall be paid to Employee in a lump sum within 60 days of the Termination Date; provided, however, that no Separation Pay shall be paid to Employee unless the Company receives, on or within 55 days after the Termination Date, an executed and fully effective copy of the Release (as defined below). Any COBRA reimbursements due under this Section shall be made by the last day of the month following the month in which the applicable premiums were paid by Employee. For the avoidance of doubt, Employee shall not be entitled to the Separation Benefits if this Agreement is terminated (i) due to Employee’s death; (ii) by the Company due to Employee’s Inability to Perform; (iii) by the Company for Cause; (iv) by Employee without Good Reason; or (v) by non-renewal by Employee in accordance with Sections 4(b) and 6(f).

  • Termination Benefits (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, followed at any time during the term of this Agreement by the involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment (other than for Termination for Cause or death), or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Employers shall: (i) pay the Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days of the Date of Termination an amount equal to three (3) times the Executive’s average annual compensation for the five most recent taxable years that the Executive has been employed by the Employers or such lesser number of years in the event that the Executive shall have been employed by the Employers for less than five years. For this purpose, annual compensation shall include base salary and any other taxable income, including, but not limited to, amounts related to the granting, vesting or exercise of restricted stock or stock option awards, commissions, bonuses, pension and profit sharing plan contributions or benefits (whether or not taxable), severance payments, retirement benefits, and fringe benefits paid or to be paid to the Executive or paid for the Executive’s benefit during any such year; and (ii) cause to be continued life insurance and non-taxable medical, dental and disability coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the Employers for the Executive prior to his Date of Termination, except to the extent such coverage may be changed in its application to all employees on a nondiscriminatory basis. Such coverage and payments shall cease upon the expiration of thirty-six (36) full calendar months from the Date of Termination. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required to avoid penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the cash severance payable under Section 3 of this Agreement shall be delayed until the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s Date of Termination. (c) For purposes of this Agreement, a “termination of employment” shall mean a “Separation from Service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, such that the Employers and the Executive reasonably anticipate that the level of bona fide services the Executive would perform after a termination of employment would permanently decrease to a level that is less than 50% of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period.

  • Vacation Benefits During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible for 20 vacation days annually, which shall be accrued and used in accordance with the applicable policies of the Company. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in such medical, dental and life insurance, retirement and other plans as the Company may have or establish from time to time on terms and conditions applicable to other senior executives of the Company generally. The foregoing, however, shall not be construed to require the Company to establish any such plans or to prevent the modification or termination of such plans once established.
