No right of Executive to reimbursement of expenses under this Agreement shall be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
Compensation Benefits and Reimbursement (a) The compensation specified under this Agreement shall constitute the salary and benefits paid for the duties described in Section 2. The Bank shall pay Executive as compensation a salary of not less than [$ ] per year (“Base Salary”). Such Base Salary shall be payable biweekly, or with such other frequency as officers and employees are generally paid. During the period of this Agreement, Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually. Such review shall be conducted by a committee designated by the Board, and the Bank may increase, but not decrease (except a decrease that is generally applicable to all employees) Executive’s Base Salary (with any increase in Base Salary to become “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement). Base Salary shall not include any director’s fees that the Executive is entitled to receive as a director of the Bank or any affiliate of the Bank. Such director’s fees shall be separately paid to the Executive.
(b) Executive will be entitled to participate in and receive benefits under any employee benefit plans including, but not limited to, retirement plans, supplemental retirement plans, pension plans, profit-sharing plans, health-and-accident insurance plans, medical coverage or any other employee benefit plan or arrangement made available by the Bank currently or in the future to its senior executives and key management employees. Executive will be entitled to participate in any incentive compensation and bonus plans offered by the Bank in which Executive is eligible to participate. Nothing paid to Executive under any such plan or arrangement will be deemed to be in lieu of other compensation to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement.
(c) In addition to the Base Salary provided for by paragraph (a) of this Section 3, the Bank shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable travel and other reasonable expenses incurred by Executive performing his obligations under this Agreement and may provide such additional compensation in such form and such amounts as the Board may from time to time determine. The Bank shall reimburse Executive for his ordinary and necessary business expenses including, without limitation, fees for memberships in such clubs and organizations as Executive and the Board shall mutually agree are necessary and appropriate for business purposes, and travel and entertainment expenses, incurred in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement.
Section 607 Compensation and Reimbursement The Company agrees
Compensation and Expense Reimbursement A. Client will pay the Company, as compensation for the services provided for in this Agreement and as reimbursement for expenses incurred by Company on Client's behalf, in the manner set forth in Schedule A annexed to this Agreement which Schedule is incorporated herein by reference.
B. In addition to the compensation and expense reimbursement referred to in Section 2(A) above, Company shall be entitled to receive from Client a "Transaction Fee", as a result of any Transaction (as described below) between Client and any other company, entity, person, group or persons or other party which is introduced to, or put in contact with, Client by Company, or by which Client has been introduced to, or has been put in contact with, by Company. A "Transaction" shall mean merger, sale of stock, sale of assets, consolidation or other similar transaction or series or combination of transactions whereby Client or such other party transfer to the other, or both transfer to a third entity or person, stock, assets, or any interest in its business in exchange for stock, assets, securities, cash or other valuable property or rights, or wherein they make a contribution of capital or services to a joint venture, commonly owned enterprise or business opportunity with the other for purposes of future business operations and opportunities. To be a Transaction covered by this section, the transaction must occur during the term of this Agreement or the one year period following the expiration of this Agreement. The calculation of a Transaction Fee shall be based upon the total value of the consideration, securities, property, business, assets or other value given, paid, transferred or contributed by, or to, the Client and shall equal 5% of the dollar value of the Transaction. Such fee shall be paid by certified funds at the closing of the Transaction.
Other Payments and Benefits On any termination of employment, including, without limitation, termination due to the Employee’s death or Disability (as defined in Section 10) or for Cause, the Employee shall receive any accrued but unpaid salary, reimbursement of any business or other expenses incurred prior to termination of employment but for which the Employee had not received reimbursement, and any other rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be due the Employee in accordance with the terms and provisions of any agreements, plans or programs of the Company (but in no event shall the Employee be entitled to duplicative rights, compensation and/or benefits).
Expense Payments and Reimbursements The Bank will reimburse Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred in connection with his services under this Agreement upon substantiation of such expenses in accordance with applicable policies of the Bank.
Payments and Benefits If an Event occurs during the Term of this Agreement, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company or its successor (which includes any person acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of the Company) a cash payment and other benefits on the following basis (unless the Executive's employment by the Company is terminated voluntarily or involuntarily before the occurrence of the earliest Event to occur (the "First Event"), in which case the Executive shall be entitled to no payment or benefits under this Section 3):
(a) If at the time of, or at any time after, the occurrence of the First Event and before the end of the Transition Period, the employment of the Executive with the Company is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason (unless such termination is a voluntary termination by the Executive other than a Constructive Involuntary Termination or is on account of the death or Disability of the Executive or is a termination by the Company for Cause), the Executive (or the Executive's legal representative, as the case may be), subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(e) and 3(g),
(1) shall be entitled to receive from the Company or its successor, upon such termination of employment with the Company or its successor, a cash payment in an amount equal to three times the sum of (A) the Executive's then-current annual base salary and (B) the greater of (i) the Executive's annualized then-current year's bonus or (ii) the Executive's annual bonus in the year prior to the then-current year, such payment to be made to the Executive by the Company or its successor in a lump sum at the time of such termination of employment; and
(2) shall be entitled for three years after the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company to participate in any health, disability and life insurance plan or program in which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately before the First Event as if he were an employee of the Company during such three-year period; provided however, that if the Executive's participation in any such health, disability or life insurance plan or program of the Company is barred, the Company, at its sole cost and expense, shall arrange to provide the Executive with benefits substantially similar to those that the Executive would be entitled to receive under such plan or program as if he were not barred from participation.
(b) The payments provided for in this Section 3 shall be in addition to any salary or other remuneration otherwise payable to the Executive on account of employment by the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries or its successor (including any amounts received before such termination of employment for personal services rendered after the occurrence of the First Event) but shall be reduced by any severance pay which the Executive receives from the Company, its subsidiaries or its successor under any other policy or agreement of the Company in the event of involuntary termination of Executive's employment.
(c) The Company shall also pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of such termination, including all such fees and expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing any such termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement.
(d) If at any time from the date of the First Event until the end of the Transition Period,
(1) the Executive shall not be given substantially equivalent or greater title, duties, responsibilities and authority, in each case as compared with the Executive's status immediately before the First Event, other than for Cause or on account of Disability;
(2) the Executive's annual base salary or bonus formula shall be reduced from the Executive's annual base salary or bonus formula in effect immediately before the First Event;
(3) the Company shall fail to provide the Executive with benefits under the Company's pension, profit sharing, retirement, life insurance, medical, health and accident, disability, bonus and incentive plans and other employee benefit plans and arrangements that in the aggregate for all such plans and arrangements are at least as favorable to the Executive as those benefits covering the Executive immediately before the First Event or shall fail to provide the Executive with at least the number of paid vacation days to which the Executive was entitled immediately before the First Event;
(4) the Company shall have failed to obtain assumption of this Agreement by any successor as contemplated by Section 5(b) hereof;
(5) the Company shall require the Executive to relocate to any place other than a location within 30 miles of the location at which the Executive performed his primary duties immediately before the First Event or, if the Executive performed such duties at the Company's principal executive offices, the Company shall relocate its principal executive offices to any location other than a location within 30 miles of the location of the principal executive offices immediately before the First Event; or
(6) the Company shall require that the Executive travel on Company business to a substantially greater extent than required immediately before the First Event; then a termination of employment with the Company by the Executive thereafter shall constitute a "Constructive Involuntary Termination."
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except the last sentence of this Section 3(e), if the lump-sum cash payment due and the other benefits to which the Executive shall become entitled under Section 3(a), either alone or together with other payments in the nature of compensation to the Executive that are contingent on 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 or otherwise, would constitute a "parachute payment" as defined in Section 280G of the Code or any successor provision thereto, such lump-sum payment and/or such other benefits and payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the largest aggregate amount as will result in no portion thereof being subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or being non-deductible to the Company for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto). The Executive in good faith shall determine the amount of any reduction to be made pursuant to this Section 3(e) and shall select from among the foregoing benefits and payments those which shall be reduced. No modification of, or successor provision to, Section 280G or Section 4999 after the date of this Agreement shall, however, reduce the benefits to which the Executive would be entitled under this Agreement in the absence of this Section 3(e) to a greater extent than they would have been reduced if Section 280G and Section 4999 had not been modified or superseded after the date of this Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in the first sentence of this Section 3(e).
(f) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or other benefit provided for in this Section 3 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor (except as specifically provided in Section 3(a)(2) or 3(b)) shall the amount of any payment or other benefit provided for in this Section 3 be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer after termination, or otherwise.
(g) Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, if (1) an Event has not yet occurred, (2) the Board of Directors of the Company desires to cause the Company to effect a transaction that will qualify as a pooling-of-interests transaction (a "Pooling Transaction") and (3) the independent certified public accountants for the Company advise the Board of Directors that they will be unable to render an opinion that such transaction will be treated as a Pooling Transaction solely because of the payments provided for in this Agreement (or in similar agreements with other employees of the Company), then the Executive agrees that upon the happening of any Event in connection with such Pooling Transaction he shall not be entitled to any payments under this Agreement as a result of such Event to the extent such payments would in the opinion of the Company's independent certified public accountants prevent them from providing the Company with a favorable opinion with respect to the treatment of the desired transaction as a Pooling Transaction.
(h) The obligations of the Company under this Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Compensation and Reimbursement (a) The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith and except as the Company and Trustee may from time to time agree in writing. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises.
(b) The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute indebtedness of the Company to which the Securities are subordinated. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities.
