Designated Beneficiary Upon the death of the Owner or Joint Owner, the Designated Beneficiary will be the first person on the following list who is alive on the date of death:
Pre-Retirement Death Benefits Should the Director die while --------- ----------------------------- serving as a director of the Bank and prior to the Qualifying Date, the Bank will pay $671 per month for a continuous period of 120 months to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries of the Director. The first such monthly installment payment shall be made on a date to be determined by the Bank, but in no event later than the first day of the sixth calendar month following the calendar month in which the Director died. In the event of the death of the last living Beneficiary before all installment payments shall have been made, the balance of any payments which remain unpaid at the time of such Beneficiary's death shall be commuted on the basis of eight percent (8%) per annum compounded interest and shall be paid in a single sum to the estate of the last Beneficiary to die. In the absence of any such beneficiary designation, or if no Beneficiary survives the Director, any payments remaining unpaid at the Director's death shall be commuted on the basis of eight percent (8%) per annum compounded interest and shall be paid in a single sum to the Director's estate.
Spouse Spouse" means the Executive's lawfully married spouse. For this purpose, common law marriage or a similar arrangement will not be recognized unless otherwise required by federal law.
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.
Pre-Retirement Death Benefit 4.1 (a) Normal form of payment. If (i) the Director dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 4.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement death benefits. The balance of the Director=s Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the later of (i) the Director=s death, or (ii) the date any final lump sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefits shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director=s death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director=s Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director=s Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director=s Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director=s Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director=s death. Such lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice. The Director=s Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the later of (i) the Director's death or (ii) the date any final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable to the Director's Beneficiary for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director=s death, or if later, within thirty (30) days after any final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account in accordance with Subsection 2.1(c).
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:
By Death Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death. The Company shall pay to Executive’s beneficiaries or estate, as appropriate, any compensation then due and owing. Thereafter all obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall cease. Nothing in this Section shall affect any entitlement of Executive’s heirs or devisees to the benefits of any life insurance plan or other applicable benefits.
Termination Upon Death of Executive Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be terminated upon the death of Executive. In such case, the Employer shall be obligated to pay to the surviving spouse of Executive, or if there is none, to the Executive’s estate: (i) that portion of Executive’s Base Salary that would otherwise have been paid to him for the month in which his death occurred, and (ii) any amounts due him pursuant to the Northrim Bank Savings Incentive Plan (401-K) and the Northrim BanCorp, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan, any supplemental deferred compensation plan, and any other death, insurance, employee benefit plan or stock benefit plan provided to Executive by the Employer, according to the terms of the respective plans.
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 on Account of Death or Disability During the Term, if the Executive’s employment terminates due to the Executive’s death, or is terminated by the Company and the Employer due to the Executive’s Disability as provided in Section 3(b), then the Company shall pay the Executive (or his beneficiary or representative) (i) his Accrued Benefit, (ii) to the extent that any annual incentive compensation payable under Section 2(b) with respect to any completed fiscal year has not been paid as of the Date of Termination, the actual incentive compensation payable with respect to such year, payable on the date such amounts would otherwise be paid, (iii) a portion of the annual incentive compensation payable under Section 2(b), based upon the number of days in the year of termination through the Date of Termination relative to 365, that the Executive would have received based on actual achievement of applicable performance metrics for the applicable performance period, with such amount payable on the date such bonus would otherwise have been paid, and (iv) full vesting of all Company, Employer or any of its or their affiliates’ equity awards that are subject to time-based vesting, effective as of the Date of Termination. Accelerated vesting of any such equity awards that are subject to performance-based vesting shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the plan governing particular equity awards, as in effect at the time such equity awards were granted, or an award agreement governing a particular equity award.
