Death Benefit Should Employee die during the term of employment, the Company shall pay to Employee's estate any compensation due through the end of the month in which death occurred.
Designation of Beneficiary Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Plan, following the execution of this Award Agreement, you may expressly designate a beneficiary (the “Beneficiary”) to your interest, if any, in the Restricted Shares awarded hereby. You shall designate the Beneficiary by completing and executing a designation of beneficiary agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Designation of Beneficiary”) and delivering an executed copy of the Designation of Beneficiary to the Company.
Designation of Beneficiaries The Executive may designate any person to receive any benefits payable under the Agreement upon the Executive’s death, and the designation may be changed from time to time by the Executive by filing a new designation. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Executive, shall be in the form prescribed by the Administrator and shall be effective only when filed in writing with the Administrator during the Executive’s lifetime. If the Executive names someone other than the Executive’s spouse as a Beneficiary, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine that spousal consent is required to be provided in a form designated by the Administrator, executed by the Executive’s spouse and returned to the Administrator. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved.
Death Prior to Commencement of Benefit Payments In the event the Participant should die while actively employed by the Plan Sponsor at any time after the date of this Plan but prior to his Normal Retirement Age, the Plan Sponsor will pay the Accrued Benefit in fifteen (15) equal annual installments to the Participant's Beneficiary. The payments shall commence to be paid on the first day of the second month following the month in which the Participant dies.
BENEFIT PAYMENT ELECTIONS Not earlier than 90 days, but not later than 30 days, before the Participant's annuity starting date, the Advisory Committee must provide a benefit notice to a Participant who is eligible to make an election under this Section 6.03. The benefit notice must explain the optional forms of benefit in the Plan, including the material features and relative values of those options, and the Participant's right to defer distribution until he attains the later of Normal Retirement Age or age 62. If a Participant or Beneficiary makes an election prescribed by this Section 6.03, the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to distribute the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in accordance with that election. Any election under this Section 6.03 is subject to the requirements of Section 6.02 and of Section 6.04. The Participant or Beneficiary must make an election under this Section 6.03 by filing his election with the Advisory Committee at any time before the Trustee otherwise would commence to pay a Participant's Accrued Benefit in accordance with the requirements of Article VI.
Death Subsequent to Commencement of Benefit Payments In the event the Executive dies while receiving payments, but prior to receiving all payments due and owing hereunder, the Employer shall pay the Beneficiary the same amounts at the same times as the Employer would have paid the Executive, had the Executive survived.
Basis of Payment of Benefits Direct payment by the Insurer is the basis of payment of benefits under this Agreement, with those benefits in turn being based on the payment of premiums as provided in this Agreement.
DEATH OF BENEFICIARY Unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, if any Beneficiary dies before the Owner, that Beneficiary's interest will go to any other primary Beneficiaries named, according to their respective interests. If there are no primary Beneficiaries, the Beneficiaries' interest will pass to a contingent Beneficiary, if any. Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, if no Beneficiary or contingent Beneficiary survives the Owner, the Death Benefits will be paid to the Owner's estate. Unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, once a Beneficiary is receiving Death Benefits or annuity payments under an Annuity Payment Option, the Beneficiary may name his or her own Beneficiary to receive any remaining benefits due under the Contract, should the original Beneficiary die prior to receipt of all benefits. If no Beneficiary is named or the named Beneficiary predeceases the original Beneficiary, any remaining benefits will continue to the original Beneficiary's estate. A Beneficiary designation must be made by Notice to LNY.
ANNUITY BENEFIT Payments under an Annuity Benefit will be made monthly. You may elect instead to have the Annuity Benefit paid at other intervals, such as every three months, six months, or twelve months, instead of monthly, subject to our rules at the time of your election or as otherwise stated in the Data Pages or any Endorsement attached hereto. This election may be made at the time the Annuity Benefit form as described in Section 8.04 is elected. In that event, all references in this Contract to monthly payments, with respect to the Annuity Benefit to which the election applies, will be deemed to mean payments at the frequency elected.
ANNUITY PROVISIONS Choice of Annuity Date — Unless otherwise changed as provided below, the Annuity Date is shown in the Contract Specifications. We assigned the Annuity Date based on the Contract type chosen and the Annuitant’s Age shown in the application for this Contract. If there are Joint Annuitants, the Annuity Date was based on the younger Annuitant’s birthday. The Annuity Date may be changed by providing proper notice to us at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the current Annuity Date or new Annuity Date, whichever is earlier, subject to any applicable state law or the Code. The new Annuity Date may not be earlier than the first Contract Anniversary and must occur on or before the day the Annuitant reaches his or her 95th birthday, or earlier, as required by any applicable state law or the Code. If there are Joint Annuitants, the Annuity Date will be based on the younger Annuitant’s birthday. You may be subject to additional restrictions under your Qualified Plan. You should consult with your Qualified Plan administrator before you elect an Annuity Date.
