Plan Terminations Under Section 409A Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.2, if the Company terminates this Agreement in the following circumstances:
(a) Upon the Company’s termination and liquidation of the Agreement pursuant to irrevocable action taken within thirty (30) days before, or twelve (12) months after a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as described in Section 409A(2)(A)(v) of the Code, provided that all distributions are made no later than twelve (12) months following such termination of the Agreement and further provided that all the Company’s arrangements which are substantially similar to the Agreement are terminated so the Executive and all participants in the similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve (12) months of the termination of the arrangements;
(b) Upon the Company’s termination and liquidation of the Agreement within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Section 331 of the Code or with the approval of a bankruptcy court provided that the amounts deferred under the Agreement are included in the Executive’s gross income in the latest of the following years (or, if earlier, the taxable year in which the amount is actually or constructively received): (i) the calendar year in which the Agreement terminates; (ii) the first calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or (iii) the first calendar year in which the distribution is administratively practical; or
(c) Upon the Company’s termination and liquidation of this and all other non-account balance plans (as referenced in Section 409A of the Code) provided that (i) such action does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Company; (ii) all distributions are made no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than twenty-four (24) months following such termination, and (iii) the Company does not adopt any new non-account balance plans for a minimum of three (3) years following the date of such termination; the Company may distribute the vested Accrual Balance as shown on Schedule A, determined as of the date of the termination of the Agreement, to the Executive in a lump sum subject to the above terms.
Termination Due To Lack Of Funding Appropriation If, in the judgment of the Director of Accounts and Reports, Department of Administration, sufficient funds are not appropriated to continue the function performed in this agreement and for the payment of the charges hereunder, State may terminate this agreement at the end of its current fiscal year. State agrees to give written notice of termination to contractor at least 30 days prior to the end of its current fiscal year, and shall give such notice for a greater period prior to the end of such fiscal year as may be provided in this contract, except that such notice shall not be required prior to 90 days before the end of such fiscal year. Contractor shall have the right, at the end of such fiscal year, to take possession of any equipment provided State under the contract. State will pay to the contractor all regular contractual payments incurred through the end of such fiscal year, plus contractual charges incidental to the return of any such equipment. Upon termination of the agreement by State, title to any such equipment shall revert to contractor at the end of the State's current fiscal year. The termination of the contract pursuant to this paragraph shall not cause any penalty to be charged to the agency or the contractor.
Termination After a Change in Control You will receive Severance Benefits under this Agreement if, during the Term of this Agreement and after a Change in Control has occurred, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than on account of your Disability or death) or you resign for Good Reason.
Distributions Upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A of the Code Upon the inclusion of any portion of the benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement into the Executive’s income as a result of the failure of this non-qualified deferred compensation plan to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent such tax liability can be covered by the Executive’s vested accrued liability, a distribution shall be made as soon as is administratively practicable following the discovery of the plan failure.
Termination After Change in Control Sections 9.2 and 9.3 set out provisions applicable to certain circumstances in which the Term may be terminated after Change in Control.
Compensation Upon Termination (a) In the event the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, by the Employee without Good Reason or due to the death or Disability of the Employee, the Company shall pay to the Employee (i) any earned but unpaid base salary and, to the extent consistent with general Company policy or applicable law, accrued but unused vacation/paid time off through and including the date the Employee’s employment with the Company ends, to be paid in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices and with applicable law but no later than the next regularly scheduled pay period, (ii) unreimbursed business expenses in accordance with the Company’s policies for which expenses the Employee has provided appropriate documentation, to be paid in accordance with Section 14.2, and (iii) any amounts or benefits to which the Employee is then entitled under the terms of the benefit plans (other than severance) then sponsored by the Company in accordance with their terms (and not accelerated to the extent acceleration does not satisfy Section 409A as defined below)). Medical/dental insurance as an Employee of the Company will cease upon the date employment ends (or such later date as the insurance policies provide), and the Employee will be eligible for continuation of such coverage pursuant to COBRA at his expense except as provided below (or prohibited under COBRA).
(b) In the event the Employee’s employment terminates as a result of a termination by the Employee for Good Reason, or a termination by the Company without Cause (except for a termination covered by 5(c)), in addition to the compensation and benefits described in Section 5(a), (i) the Employee shall receive payments equal to nine months of the Employee’s then base salary ratably over a period of nine months in accordance with the Company’s then current payroll policies and practices, and a payment equal in amount to his target bonus for the year of termination, pro-rated to reflect days elapsed from the beginning of the bonus year to the date of termination over 365 and paid on or around the date of the first installment of the salary-based severance, and (ii) the Company will pay any difference between the COBRA premium and the amount the Employee would otherwise be responsible for with respect to the medical and dental coverage elected for a period of nine months from the date such termination or as long as the Employee is eligible for and elects to be covered by COBRA, whichever period is shorter. At the end of this period, the Employee is eligible to continue coverage for the balance of the statutory period under COBRA, provided that the Employee pays the COBRA premium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may end the payment of premiums earlier (but not the Employee’s eligibility for COBRA) if it reasonably determines that applicable laws or regulations are reasonably likely to cause the payment of these premiums to trigger taxes or penalties on the Company or other participants or, to the extent the Employee would be taxed on more than the amount of the premiums, to the Employee.
(c) In the event that, within 12 months following a Change in Control Event, the Employee’s employment terminates as a result of a termination by the Employee for Good Reason, or a termination by the Company or its successor without Cause, in addition to the compensation and benefits described in Section 5(a), the Employee shall receive (i) one times the sum of (x) the Employee’s then base salary (or if the base salary was reduced within 12 months following a Change in Control Event from the level in effect immediately before the consummation of that event, the level before such reduction) and (y) an amount equal to the full target bonus for the year of termination, such sum to paid ratably over a period of 12 months in accordance with the Company’s then current payroll policies and practices and (ii) an amount equal to a portion of the same year’s target bonus, pro-rated to reflect days elapsed from the beginning of the bonus year to the date of termination over 365, with the payment in clause (ii) to be made on or around the date of the first installment of the payments under clause (i). If severance is due under the proceeding sentence, the Company will also pay any difference between the COBRA premium and the amount the Employee would otherwise be responsible for with respect to the medical and dental coverage elected for a period of 12 months from the date of such termination or as long as the Employee is eligible for and elects to be covered by COBRA, whichever period is shorter. At the end of this period, the Employee is eligible to continue coverage for the balance of the statutory period under COBRA, provided that the Employee pays the COBRA premium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may end the payment of premiums earlier (but not the Employee’s eligibility for COBRA) if it reasonably determines that applicable laws or regulations are reasonably likely to cause the payment of these premiums to trigger taxes or penalties on the Company or other participants or, to the extent the Employee would be taxed on more than the amount of the premiums, to the Employee. The benefits provided under this Section 5(c) shall be in lieu of any benefits to which the Employee would have otherwise been entitled pursuant to Section 5(b) of this Agreement.
(d) The receipt of any severance benefits provided for under this Agreement or otherwise shall be dependent upon the Employee’s delivery to the Company of an effective general release of claims in a form provided by the Company. Such release must be delivered and become irrevocable within 60 days (or such shorter period as the Company may specify at the time) of the date of the Employee’s termination of employment. Payment of the benefits shall be made or commence no later than the first payroll period following the date on which the release becomes irrevocable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the 60th day following the termination of employment occurs in the calendar year following the year of the Employee’s termination of employment then the severance payments shall not be made or commence prior to January 1 of the year following such termination of employment, and in any event, payment of benefits under this subparagraph shall be subject to the provisions of Section 14 to the extent applicable.
(e) The benefits provided for the Employee under this Agreement shall be the sole payments and benefits for which the Employee shall be eligible at the conclusion of his employment with the Company for any reason (other than as provided under the terms of any equity compensation plans or awards) and shall supersede any and all prior agreements or arrangements for post-termination benefits or severance.
Discussions Before Termination (a) Where an employer has made a definite decision that the employer no longer wishes the job the employee has been doing done by anyone and this is not due to the ordinary and customary turnover of labour and that decision may lead to termination of employment, the employer shall hold discussions with the employees directly affected and with his/her union, where applicable.
(b) The discussion shall take place as soon as is practicable after the employer has made a definite decision which will invoke the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subclause and shall cover among other things, any reasons for the proposed terminations, measures to avoid or minimise the terminations and measures to minimise any adverse affect of any terminations on the employees concerned. The employer will confirm the content of these discussions in writing.
Termination Upon a Change in Control If Executive’s employment with the Employer is subject to a Termination within a Covered Period, then, in addition to Minimum Benefits, the Employer shall provide Executive the following benefits:
(i) On the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, the Employer shall pay Executive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the Severance Amount.
(ii) Executive (and Executive’s dependents, as may be applicable) shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 4(e).
Termination After Change of Control In the event that, before the expiration of the TERM and in connection with or within one year of a CHANGE OF CONTROL (as defined hereinafter) of either one of the EMPLOYERS, (A) the employment of the EMPLOYEE is terminated for any reason other than JUST CAUSE before the expiration of the TERM, (B) the present capacity or circumstances in which the EMPLOYEE is employed is changed before the expiration of the TERM, or (C) the EMPLOYEE's responsibilities, authority, compensation or other benefits provided under this AGREEMENT are materially reduced, then the following shall occur:
(I) The EMPLOYERS shall promptly pay to the EMPLOYEE or to his beneficiaries, dependents or estate an amount equal to the sum of (1) the amount of compensation to which the EMPLOYEE would be entitled for the remainder of the TERM under this AGREEMENT, plus (2) the difference between (x) the product of three, multiplied by the total compensation paid to the EMPLOYEE for the immediately preceding calendar year as set forth on the Form W-2 of the EMPLOYEE, less (xx) the amount paid to the EMPLOYEE pursuant to clause (1) of this subparagraph (I);
(II) The EMPLOYEE, his dependents, beneficiaries and estate shall continue to be covered under all BENEFIT PLANS of the EMPLOYERS at the EMPLOYERS' expense as if the EMPLOYEE were still employed under this AGREEMENT until the earliest of the expiration of the TERM or the date on which the EMPLOYEE is included in another employer's benefit plans as a full-time employee; and
(III) The EMPLOYEE shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this AGREEMENT by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall any amounts received from other employment or otherwise by the EMPLOYEE offset in any manner the obligations of the EMPLOYERS thereunder, except as specifically stated in subparagraph (II). In the event that payments pursuant to this subsection (ii) would result in the imposition of a penalty tax pursuant to Section 280G(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (hereinafter collectively referred to as "SECTION 280G"), such payments shall be reduced to the maximum amount which may be paid under SECTION 280G without exceeding such limits.
Compensation After Termination a. If (i) the Company terminates Employee’s employment during the Employment Period pursuant to Section 4.1.a, 4.1.b, or 4.1.c hereof, (ii) either party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Article 2 hereof or (iii) Employee voluntarily terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1.d hereof, then the Employment Agreement and Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate and the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder or otherwise with respect to Employee’s employment from and after the termination or expiration date, except that the Company shall pay Employee’s Base Salary accrued through the date of termination or expiration and shall provide such benefits as are required by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company terminates Employee pursuant to Section 4.1.a or 4.1.b, the Company will pay to Employee a pro rata share of any incentive compensation earned by Employee during the year in which such termination occurs, such incentive compensation to be determined and payable in the same manner and at the same time as it would have been had Employee’s employment not been terminated pursuant to Section 4.1.a or 4.1.b.
b. If the Company terminates the Employee’s employment pursuant to Section 4.1.d hereof, then the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder or otherwise with respect to Employee’s employment from and after the termination date, except that, subject to receiving a signed separation agreement and general release of claims from Employee substantially in the form set out in attached Exhibit 1 to this Agreement, modified as necessary so as to be fully enforceable under current applicable law, Company shall pay Employee’s Base Salary through the end of the then current Employment Period and shall provide benefits as are required by applicable law. However, any payments under this Section 4.2.b. payable after termination of employment may be delayed as may be required by Section 7.12 hereof. Provided, however, if the termination of Employee’s employment results in compensation and benefits being provided to Employee pursuant to the Severance Agreement of even date herewith, Employee shall receive no compensation under this Section 4.2, except for Base Salary and benefits accrued through the date of termination or as are otherwise required by applicable law.
