Involuntary Termination with Cause The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause. If the Executive’s employment terminates for Cause, the Executive shall receive the Base Salary through the date on which termination becomes effective and reimbursement of expenses to which the Executive is entitled when termination becomes effective. If the Executive is terminated for Cause by either of the Corporation or the Bank, the Executive shall be deemed also to have been terminated for Cause by the other. The Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause under this Agreement unless and until there is delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution adopted at a meeting of the board of directors called and held for the purpose, which resolution shall (x) contain findings that the Executive has committed an act constituting Cause, and (y) specify the particulars thereof. The resolution of the board of directors shall be deemed to have been duly adopted if and only if it is adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors of the Corporation then in office or a majority of the directors of the Bank then in office, in either case excluding the Executive. Notice of the meeting and the proposed termination for Cause shall be given to the Executive a reasonable time before the meeting of the board of directors. The Executive and the Executive’s counsel (if the Executive chooses to have counsel present) shall have a reasonable opportunity to be heard by the board of directors at the meeting. For purposes of this Agreement “Cause” means any of the following:
Involuntary Termination Without Cause In the event of the Participant’s involuntary Termination by the Company without Cause, the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days from the date of such Termination, and (ii) the expiration of the stated term of the Option pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof.
Involuntary Termination by the Company without Cause At all times during the Term, the Board may terminate the Executive’s employment for reasons other than death, Disability, or for Cause, by providing to the Executive a Notice of Termination, at least sixty (60) calendar days (ninety (90) calendar days when termination is due to non-renewal of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 1.2) prior to the Effective Date of Termination; provided, however, that such notice shall not preclude the Company from requiring Executive to leave the Company immediately upon receipt of such notice.
Involuntary Termination for Cause If the Employee's employment is terminated for Cause, then the Employee shall not be entitled to receive severance payments. The Employee's benefits will be terminated under the Company's then existing benefit plans and policies in accordance with such plans and policies in effect on the date of termination.
With Cause Employer may terminate this Agreement with cause immediately upon written notice to Executive. Employer may elect to require Executive to continue to perform Executive's duties under this Agreement for an additional thirty (30) days following notice of termination. In connection with the termination of Executive's employment pursuant to this Section 5(a)(ii), Executive shall (A) be paid Executive's Base Compensation in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof up to the effective date of such termination, and, to the extent not previously paid, Executive shall be entitled to any bonuses payable to Executive in accordance with Section 3(b) hereof for or with respect to any calendar years prior to the calendar year in which such termination occurs and (B) be entitled to the benefits set forth in Sections 3(c), 3(d) and 3(e) hereof up to the effective date of such termination. For purposes of this Section 5(a)(ii), "cause" shall mean (1) a finding by the Board that Executive has materially harmed Employer, its business, assets or employees through an act of dishonesty, material conflict of interest, gross misconduct or willful malfeasance, (2) Executive's conviction of (or pleading nolo contendere to) a felony, (3) Executive's failure to perform (which shall not include inability to perform due to disability) in any material respects Executive's material duties under this Agreement after written notice specifying the failure and a reasonable opportunity to cure (it being understood that if Executive's failure to perform is not of a type requiring a single action to fully cure, then Executive may commence the cure promptly after such written notice and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion), (4) the breach by Executive of any of Executive's material obligations hereunder (other than those covered by clause (3) above) and the failure of Executive to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt by Executive of a written notice of Employer specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the breach, or (5) Executive's sanction (including restrictions, prohibitions and limitations agreed to under a consent decree or agreed order) under, or conviction for violation of, any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation (provided that in the case of a sanction, such sanction materially impedes or impairs the ability of Executive to perform Executive's duties and exercise Executive's responsibilities hereunder in a satisfactory manner).
Involuntary Termination Other Than for Cause If Executive's employment is terminated as a result of an Involuntary Termination other than for Cause, then the following severance benefits shall be paid or otherwise provided to Executive: (A) the Company shall pay to Executive in the form of a lump sum payment, in cash, a severance payment equal to the lesser of (I) three (3) times Executive's Base Salary or (II) Executive's Base Salary multiplied by the sum of (x) the number of years (or any portion thereof, calculated on a daily basis) remaining under this Agreement had Executive's employment not been terminated, plus (y) an additional one-half year, however, in no event shall such payment equal less than 100% of Executive's Base Salary, which shall be paid to Executive within ten (10) days after the date of termination; (B) until the earlier of (I) the date this Agreement would otherwise have terminated had Executive's employment not been terminated (the 'Remaining Term') or (II) the expiration of the three (3) year period measured from the date of Executive's termination of employment. The Company shall at its sole cost and expense provide Executive (and Executive's eligible dependents, if any) with life, disability, and medical insurance benefits substantially similar to those benefits that Executive (and Executive's dependents) were receiving immediately prior to Executive's termination of employment; provided, however, that the benefits otherwise receivable by Executive pursuant to this Section 9(a)(ii)(B) shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are concurrently received by Executive (or Executive's dependents) pursuant to a similar plan or program of another employer, and any such other benefits actually received by Executive (or Executive's dependents) must be reported to the Company; and provided further, however, that the insurance coverage provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 9(a)(ii)(B) shall be in lieu of any other continued coverage to which Executive or Executive's dependents would otherwise, at Executive's own expense, be entitled in accordance with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ('Code'), Section 4980B ('COBRA'), by reason of Executive's termination of employment; (C) all stock options, warrants, rights and other Company stock-related awards granted to Executive by the Company that would otherwise have vested or become exercisable at any time in the future shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable upon the date of Executive's termination of employment, the Company's repurchase rights, if any, with respect to those vested shares shall immediately lapse, and each such stock option, to the extent vested, shall remain exercisable for the vested option shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term in accordance with the provisions of the agreement evidencing such option; and (D) the Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for any and all expenses incurred by Executive for outplacement services selected by the Executive and approved by the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, until the earlier of (I) the first anniversary of the date of termination of employment or (II) the date on which Executive commences employment with another employer.
Involuntary Termination “Involuntary Termination” shall mean (i) without the Employee’s express written consent, the significant reduction of the Employee’s duties or responsibilities relative to the Employee’s duties or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction; provided, however, that a reduction in duties or responsibilities solely by virtue of the Company being acquired and made part of a larger entity (as, for example, when the Chief Financial Officer of Company remains as such following a Change of Control and is not made the Chief Financial Officer of the acquiring corporation) shall not constitute an “Involuntary Termination”; (ii) without the Employee’s express written consent, a substantial reduction, without good business reasons, of the facilities and perquisites (including office space and location) available to the Employee immediately prior to such reduction; (iii) without the Employee’s express written consent, a material reduction by the Company in the Base Compensation or Target Incentive of the Employee as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, or the ineligibility of the Employee to continue to participate in any long-term incentive plan of the Company; (iv) a material reduction by the Company in the kind or level of employee benefits to which the Employee is entitled immediately prior to such reduction with the result that the Employee’s overall benefits package is significantly reduced; (v) the relocation of the Employee to a facility or a location more than 50 miles from the Employee’s then present location, without the Employee’s express written consent; (vi) any purported termination of the Employee by the Company which is not effected for death or Disability or for Cause; or (vii) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this agreement by any successors contemplated in Section 10 below.
Termination With Cause The Master Servicer may, at its sole option, terminate any rights the Primary Servicer may have hereunder with respect to any or all of the Mortgage Loans, as provided in Section 4.01 of this Agreement upon the occurrence of a Primary Servicer Termination Event. Any notice of termination shall be in writing and delivered to the Primary Servicer as provided in Section 6.05 of this Agreement.
Termination By Company With Cause The Company may terminate the Employee's employment at any time with Cause. As used in this Agreement, "Cause" shall include the following: (1) the Employee's failure or inability to perform Employee's duties under this Agreement; (2) dishonesty, misconduct, or unlawful acts that adversely affect the Company; (3) a material violation of the Company's policies or practices which reasonably justifies immediate termination; (4) pleading guilty or no contest to, or conviction of, a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, fraud, dishonesty, or misrepresentation; (5) the commission by the Employee of any act which could reasonably be expected to materially injure the reputation, business, or business relationships of the Company or Related Entities; (6) the Employee's inability to perform an essential function of Employee's position; or (7) any material breach by Employee of this Agreement. The Company may terminate this Agreement for Cause, as defined in clauses (1), (5), (6) and (7) above, upon thirty days prior written notice (the "Cause Notification Period") to Employee, but such termination shall only become effective in the event of Employee's failure to cure the applicable breach or violation, to the reasonable satisfaction of Company, prior to the end of the Cause Notification Period. The Company may terminate this Agreement for Cause, as defined in clauses (2), (3), and (4) above, at any time with no notice. In the event of a termination for Cause, the Company shall be relieved of all its obligations to the Employee provided for by this Agreement as of the effective date of termination, and all payments to the Employee hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate as of such date, except that Employee shall be entitled to the annual base salary hereunder up to and including the effective date of termination.
Due Cause The employment of the Employee hereunder may be terminated by the Company at any time during the Term for Due Cause (as hereinafter defined). In the event of such termination, the Company shall pay to the Employee the salary provided for in Section 3.1 accrued to the date of such termination and not theretofore paid to the Employee and no bonus. Rights and benefits of the Employee (a) with respect to the Options or the Bonus Options shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.3(b) or the Executive Bonus Plan, as applicable and (b) under the benefit plans and programs of the Company shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of such plans and programs. After the satisfaction of any claim of the Company against the Employee incidental to such Due Cause, neither the Employee nor the Company shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as provided in Sections 7, 8, 9 and 10. For purposes hereof, "Due Cause" shall mean (a) the Employee's gross negligence or willful misconduct in bad faith in the discharge of his duties and responsibilities to Norton, the Company and any of their respective parent, subsidiary or affiliate corporations (collectively, the "Norton Group"), as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, (b) the Employee's material and repeated failure to obey appropriate directions from the Chairman, Vice Chairman or Board of Directors of the Company, (c) any willful or purposeful act or omission of the Employee taken or omitted in bad faith and intended to materially injure, and which had the effect of materially injuring, the business or business relationships of any member of the Norton Group or (d) the Employee's conviction or other adjudication of (1) a felony or (2) any crime or offense involving fraud; provided, however, that the Employee shall be given written notice by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company that it intends to terminate the Employee's employment for Due Cause under this Section, which written notice shall specify the act or acts upon the basis of which the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company intends so to terminate the Employee's employment, and the Employee shall then be given the opportunity, within fifteen (15) days of his receipt of such notice, to have a meeting with the Board of Directors of the Company to discuss such act or acts.
