Common use of IRC Section 409A Compliance Clause in Contracts

IRC Section 409A Compliance. The severance payments and other benefits under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code by reason of all payments under this Agreement being "short-term deferrals" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). All provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with preserving this exemption. If Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A Rules”), then any amounts subject to the Section 409A rules that are otherwise required to be paid to him upon his separation from service (as defined in the Section 409A Rules) shall not be paid until the date that is six (6) months after the date of his separation from service or, if earlier, the date of his death. To the extent that this Agreement provides for the reimbursement of specified expenses incurred, such reimbursement will be made in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement (or other applicable plan or policy), but in no event later than the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided by the Company in any taxable year will not affect the amount of expenses or in-kind benefits to be reimbursed or provided in any other year.
