Retention Bonus You will be eligible for a lump sum cash payment on the first anniversary of the Acquisition Date provided that you are employed by the Company as of such date in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 100% of your annual base salary in effect as of the Acquisition Date, plus (ii) 100% of the annual bonus paid to you for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 (such sum, the “First Year Retention Bonus”). You will be eligible for a lump sum cash payment on the second anniversary of the Acquisition Date provided that you are employed by the Company as of such date in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 100% of your annual base salary in effect as of the Acquisition Date, plus (ii) 100% of the annual bonus paid to you for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 (such sum, the “Second Year Retention Bonus”). Except as set forth below, you will not be eligible for the retention bonuses as set forth above if your employment terminates prior to such applicable anniversary. In the event of your Voluntary Termination for Good Reason (as defined below), the termination of your employment by the Company other than for Justifiable Cause, or in the event of your death or “permanent disability” as defined in the Company’s long-term disability policy (i) during the first twelve month period following the Acquisition Date, you will be eligible for a pro rata portion of the First Year Retention Bonus, counting full months of employment with the Company from the Acquisition Date through such termination, and (ii) during the second twelve month period following the Acquisition Date, you will be eligible for a pro rata portion of the Second Year Retention Bonus, counting full months of employment with the Company from the first anniversary of the Acquisition Date through such termination. Any prorated payment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made within 10 business days of such termination. If the annual bonus payment for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 has not been paid to you or otherwise determined by the Company as of the date the prorated payment is due, the prorated payment shall be calculated using your target bonus amount for 2008. Payments under this Section 8 shall be net of any applicable withholding taxes. For purposes of this Section 8, “Voluntary Termination for Good Reason” shall have the same meaning as given to such term under the Key Employee Change in Control Severance Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Acquisition Date, but with respect to the First Year Retention Bonus only, determined without regard to clause (ii) thereof.”
Lump Sum Severance Payment Payment of a lump sum amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s then-current Base Salary plus the Pro Rated Bonus, less all customary and required taxes and employment-related deductions, paid on the first payroll date following the date on which the Release required by Paragraph 4(g) becomes effective and non-revocable, but not after seventy (70) days following the effective date of termination from employment.
Payment of Salary and Receipt of All Benefits Employee acknowledges and represents that, other than the consideration set forth in this Agreement, the Company has paid or provided all salary, wages, bonuses, accrued vacation/paid time off, premiums, leaves, housing allowances, relocation costs, interest, severance, outplacement costs, fees, reimbursable expenses, commissions, stock, stock options, vesting, and any and all other benefits and compensation due to Employee.
METHOD OF PAYMENT OF ACCRUED BENEFIT The Advisory Committee will apply Section 6.02 of the Plan with the following modifications: (Choose (a) or at least one of (b), (c), (d) and (e))
Up-Front Payment Connetics shall issue to Genentech upon the Original Closing Date (as defined in the Stock Agreement) shares of Connetics Common Stock (“Original Issuance Shares” as defined in the Stock Agreement) with a fair market value equal to two million dollars ($2,000,000), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Agreement. If, on the Second Closing Date (as defined in the Stock Agreement), the aggregate market value of the Original Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price (as defined in the Stock Agreement)) is less than four million dollars ($4,000,000), Connetics shall issue to Genentech upon the Second Closing Date the number of additional shares of Connetics Common Stock (the “Second Issuance Shares,” as defined in the Stock Agreement) equal to the lesser of: (i) the number of shares necessary to increase the aggregate market value of the Original Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price) plus the Second Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price) to four million dollars ($4,000,000) or (ii) the number of shares necessary to increase the aggregate number of the Company’s shares of Common Stock held by Genentech (exclusive of any shares that Genentech has purchased from parties other than the Company) to 9.9% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the third trading day before the Second Closing Date, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Agreement. In lieu of all or any portion of the Second Issuance Shares that the Company is obligated to issue to Genentech on the Second Closing Date, the Company may elect to pay Genentech the cash value of such Second Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price). The Original Closing and the Second Closing of the stock issuances shall take place as described in the Stock Agreement. In the event that Connetics does not issue to Genentech all of the Second Issuance Shares or the cash value of the Second Issuance Shares, Genentech may, in addition to other remedies available to it by law or in equity, immediately terminate this Agreement and the licenses granted to Connetics hereunder. Such termination by Genentech of the Agreement and the licenses hereunder does not discharge Connetics’ obligation to issue all of the Second Issuance Shares or to pay to Genentech the cash value of the Second Issuance Shares. The up-front payment shall not be creditable against any royalty payments owed by Connetics under Sections 8.3 and 8.4 below.
Payment of Bonus Within fifteen (15) days of such termination, the Company shall pay to the Executive his Target Bonus pursuant to Section 3(b), prorated for the number of days of employment completed by the Executive during the year in which his employment terminated.
Severance Payment Executive will be paid continuing payments of severance pay at a rate equal to Executive’s base salary rate, as then in effect, for twelve (12) months from the date of such termination of employment, to be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies.
Payment of Withholding Tax Any required Withholding Tax may be paid in cash or with Common Stock in accordance with Sections 8.3.1 and 8.3.2.
Payment of Salary Executive acknowledges and represents that the Company has paid all salary, wages, bonuses, accrued vacation, commissions and any and all other benefits due to Executive.
TIME OF PAYMENT OF ACCRUED BENEFIT Unless, pursuant to Section 6.03, the Participant or the Beneficiary elects in writing to a different time or method of payment, the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to commence distribution of a Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in accordance with this Section 6.01. A Participant must consent, in writing, to any distribution required under this Section 6.01 if the present value of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, at the time of the distribution to the Participant, exceeds $3,500 and the Participant has not attained the later of Normal Retirement Age or age 62. Furthermore, the Participant's spouse also must consent, in writing, to any distribution, for which Section 6.04 requires the spouse's consent. For all purposes of this Article VI, the term "annuity starting date" means the first day of the first period for which the Plan pays an amount as an annuity or in any other form. A distribution date under this Article VI, unless otherwise specified within the Plan, is the date or dates the Employer specifies in the Adoption Agreement, or as soon as administratively practicable following that distribution date. For purposes of the consent requirements under this Article VI, if the present value of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, at the time of any distribution, exceeds $3,500, the Advisory Committee must treat that present value as exceeding $3,500 for purposes of all subsequent Plan distributions to the Participant.
