Distribution of Benefit The Bank shall distribute the annual benefit to the Executive in twelve (12) equal monthly installments commencing on the first day of the month following Separation from Service. The annual benefit shall be distributed to the Executive for fifteen (15) years.
Non-Alienation of Benefits No benefit hereunder shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void.
Payment of Benefit The Company shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments commencing with the month following the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, paying the annual benefit to the Executive for a period of 15 years.
Termination of Benefits Except as provided in Section 2 above or as may be required by law, Executive’s participation in all employee benefit (pension and welfare) and compensation plans of the Company shall cease as of the Termination Date. Nothing contained herein shall limit or otherwise impair Executive’s right to receive pension or similar benefit payments that are vested as of the Termination Date under any applicable tax-qualified pension or other plans, pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan.
Public Benefit It is XR's understanding that the commitments it has agreed to herein, and actions to be taken by XR under this Settlement Agreement confer a significant benefit to the general public, as set forth in Code of Civil Procedure § 1021.5 and Cal. Admin. Code tit. 11, § 3201. As such, it is the intent of XR that to the extent any other private party serves a notice and/or initiates an action alleging a violation of Proposition 65 with respect to XR's alleged failure to provide a warning concerning actual or alleged exposure to DEHP prior to use of the Covered Products it has manufactured, distributed, sold, or offered for sale in California, or will manufacture, distribute, sell, or offer for sale in California, such private party action would not confer a significant benefit on the general public as to those Covered Products addressed in this Settlement Agreement, provided that XR is in material compliance with this Settlement Agreement.
Nonalienation of Benefits Except as provided in Section 8 of this Agreement, (i) no right or benefit under this Agreement will be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, hypothecation, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same will be void, and (ii) no right or benefit hereunder will in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the Grantee or other person entitled to such benefits.
Coordination of Benefits i. Delta Dental coordinates the dental Benefits under this dental plan with your benefits under any other group or pre-paid plan or insurance plan designed to fully integrate with other plans. If this plan is the “primary” plan, Delta Dental will not reduce Benefits. If this plan is the “secondary” plan, Delta Dental may reduce Benefits so that the total benefits paid or provided by all plans do not exceed 100% of total allowable expense. ii. How does Delta Dental determine which Plan is the “primary” plan? 1) The plan covering the Enrollee as an employee is primary over a plan covering the Enrollee as a dependent. 2) The plan covering the Enrollee as an employee is primary over a plan covering the insured person as a dependent; except that if the insured person is also a Medicare beneficiary, and as a result of the rule established by Title XVIII of the Social Security Act and implementing regulations, Medicare is: a) secondary to the plan covering the insured person as a dependent; and b) primary to the plan covering the insured person as other than a dependent (e.g. a retired employee), then the benefits of the plan covering the insured person as a dependent are determined before those of the plan covering that insured person as other than a dependent. 3) Except as stated in paragraph 4), when this plan and another plan cover the same child as a dependent of different persons, called parents: a) the benefits of the plan of the parent whose birthday falls earlier in a year are determined before those of the plan of the parent whose birthday falls later in that year; but b) if both parents have the same birthday, the benefits of the plan covering one parent longer are determined before those of the plan covering the other parent for a shorter period of time. c) However, if the other plan does not have the birthday rule described above, but instead has a rule based on the gender of the parent, and if, as a result, the plans do not agree on the order of benefits, the rule in the other plan determines the order of benefits. 4) In the case of a dependent child of legally separated or divorced parents, the plan covering the Enrollee as a dependent of the parent with legal custody or as a dependent of the custodial parent’s spouse (i.e. step-parent) will be primary over the plan covering the Enrollee as a dependent of the parent without legal custody. If there is a court decree establishing financial responsibility for the health care expenses with respect to the child, the benefits of a plan covering the child as a dependent of the parent with such financial responsibility will be determined before the benefits of any other policy covering the child as a dependent child. 5) If the specific terms of a court decree state that the parents will share joint custody without stating that one of the parents is responsible for the health care expenses of the child, the plans covering the child will follow the order of benefit determination rules outlined in paragraph 3). 6) The benefits of a plan covering an insured person as an employee who is neither laid-off nor retired are determined before those of a plan covering that insured person as a laid-off or retired employee. The same would hold true if an insured person is a dependent of a person covered as a retiree or an employee. If the other plan does not have this rule, and if, as a result, the plans do not agree on the order of benefits, this rule 6) is ignored. 7) If an insured person whose coverage is provided under a right of continuation pursuant to federal or state law also is covered under another plan, the following will be the order of benefit determination. a) First, the benefits of a plan covering the insured person as an employee (or as that insured person’s dependent). b) Second, the benefits under the continuation coverage. c) If the other plan does not have the rule described above, and if, as a result, the plans do not agree on the order of benefits, this rule 7) is ignored. 8) If none of the above rules determines the order of benefits, the benefits of the plan covering an employee longer are determined before those of the plan covering that insured person for the shorter term. 9) When determination cannot be made in accordance with the above for Pediatric Benefits, the benefits of a plan that is a medical plan covering dental as a benefit will be primary to a dental only plan.
Retirement Benefit (i) In consideration of the Executive's past services to the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to a retirement benefit, payable monthly for his life, in an amount equal to 50 percent of his highest monthly Base Salary during the Employment Term. Such payments shall commence on the first day of the month coincident with or next following the later of the Executive's attainment of age 58 or the end of the Employment Term (the "Commencement Date"); provided, however, that if the Employment Term terminates prior to his attainment of age 58, the Executive may elect by written notice to the Company to have such payments commence on the first day of any month after such termination of employment (the "Early Commencement Date") in a monthly amount equal to the monthly amount that the Executive would have received at the Commencement Date, reduced by one-third of one percent (.33%) per month for each month by which the Early Commencement Date precedes the Commencement Date. The amount of each payment hereunder shall be increased on each January 1 following the Early Commencement Date or Commencement Date, as applicable, by an amount determined by multiplying the amount of each monthly payment made in the preceding year by the percentage increase, if any, in the cost of living from the preceding January 1, as reflected by the Consumer Price Index. The Executive's election to have his retirement benefit payments commence on the Early Commencement Date shall not affect the Company's obligation to pay consulting fees to the Executive in accordance with Section 4 hereof. The retirement benefit shall be an unconditional, but unsecured, general credit obligation of the Company to the Executive, and nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to it, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind between the Company and the Executive. The Executive shall have no right, title or interest whatever in or to any investments which the Company may make (including, but not limited to, an insurance policy on the life of the Executive) to aid it in meeting its obligations hereunder. (ii) From time to time, the Company shall make such contributions to the trust established under the Trust Agreement dated as of December 18, 1986 (the "1986 Trust") between the Company, as grantor, and Wixxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, as successor trustee, to provide a sufficient reserve for the discharge of its obligation to pay the retirement benefit to the Executive as provided in clause (i) of this Section 3(c) and clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 5(a) hereof.
Limitation of Benefits (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any benefit, payment or distribution by the Company or any of its direct and/or indirect subsidiaries to or for the benefit of Employee (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 18) (such benefits, payments or distributions are hereinafter referred to as “Payments”) would, if paid, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, prior to the making of any Payments to Employee, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the net after-tax benefit to Employee of the Payments after payment by Employee of the Excise Tax, to (ii) the net after-tax benefit to Employee if the Payments had been limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. If the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount calculated under (ii) above, then the Payments shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”). The reduction of the Payments due hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing cash Payments and then, to the extent necessary, reducing those Payments having the next highest ratio of Parachute Value to actual present value of such Payments as of the date of the change of control, as determined by the Determination Firm (as defined in Section 18(b) below). For purposes of this Section 18, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 18, the “Parachute Value” of a Payment means the present value as of the date of the change of control of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, as determined by the Determination Firm for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such Payment. (b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 18, including whether an Excise Tax would otherwise be imposed, whether the Payments shall be reduced, the amount of the Reduced Amount, and the assumptions to be used in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm or compensation consulting firm mutually acceptable to the Company and Employee (the “Determination Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Employee. All fees and expenses of the Determination Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Determination Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Employee. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Determination Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments hereunder will have been unnecessarily limited by this Section 18 (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. The Determination Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Employee, but no later than March 15 of the year after the year in which the Underpayment is determined to exist, which is when the legally binding right to such Underpayment arises.
Calculation of Benefits Immediately following delivery of any Notice of Termination, the Company shall notify the Executive of the aggregate present value of all termination benefits to which he would be entitled under this Agreement and any other plan, program or arrangement as of the projected Date of Termination, together with the projected maximum payments, determined as of such projected Date of Termination that could be paid without the Executive being subject to the Excise Tax.
