Employment Period Compensation In consideration of the other provisions of this Agreement, and the Executive’s agreement to execute a Release Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, in the event of his termination under relevant circumstances pursuant to which he would be paid severance benefits, ESC shall provide the Executive with the following payments and benefits, both those set forth in this section and elsewhere in this Agreement:
Annual Compensation The Executive’s “Annual Compensation” for purposes of determining severance payable under this Agreement shall be deemed to mean the sum of (i) the annual rate of Base Salary as of the Date of Termination, and (ii) the cash bonus, if any, earned by the Executive for the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs.
Annual Base Compensation The Company agrees to pay the Executive during the term of this Agreement a salary at the rate of $335,000 per annum, payable in cash not less frequently than monthly.
Director Compensation Parent shall be responsible for the payment of any fees for service on the Parent Board that are earned at, before, or after the Effective Time, and Varex shall not have any responsibility for any such payments except as otherwise provided in Article VI with respect to deferred compensation. With respect to any Varex non-employee director, Varex shall be responsible for the payment of any fees for service on the Varex Board that are earned at any time after the Effective Time and Parent shall not have any responsibility for any such payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Varex shall commence paying quarterly cash retainers to Varex non-employee directors in respect of the quarter in which the Effective Time occurs; provided that (a) if Parent has already paid such quarter’s cash retainers to Parent non-employee directors prior to the Effective Time, then within thirty (30) days after the Distribution Date, Varex shall pay Parent an amount equal to the portion of such payment that is attributable to Transferred Directors’ service to Varex after the Distribution Date (other than any amount that is subject to a deferral election and is credited or to be credited to any such director’s account under the Parent Deferred Compensation Plans), and (b) if Parent has not yet paid such quarter’s cash retainers to Parent non-employee directors prior to the Effective Time, then within thirty (30) days after the Distribution Date, Parent shall pay Varex an amount equal to the portion of such payment that is attributable to Transferred Directors’ service to Parent on and prior to the Distribution Date.
Fixed Compensation Each of the Co-Managers will receive certain additional fixed compensation pursuant to separate agreements with Masterworks, which is not tied specifically to this Offering or to any other specific offering, but a portion of which is deemed to be underwriting compensation for this Offering. Such additional fixed compensation relates to (i) a monthly retainer for administrative support services and (ii) fixed compensation payments to representatives of Arete. $8,224 is a reasonable estimate of costs and expenses referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) above that are appropriately allocated to this Offering.
Bonus Compensation The Executive shall not receive any bonus payment whatsoever pursuant to Section 3.02 or the Bonus Plan except such bonus which is already earned and due to be paid up to and including the Termination Date, notwithstanding any period following the Termination Date during which the Executive may receive any payments or benefits under the terms of the Agreement.
Annual Bonus Compensation In addition to your Salary, during the Employment Term you shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus for each whole or partial calendar year during the Employment Term, determined and payable as follows (the “Bonus”):
Full Compensation The payments that will be made to Employee or for his benefit pursuant to this Separation Agreement shall compensate him for and extinguish any and all claims he may have arising out of his employment with Deluxe or his employment termination as of the effective date of the Release, including but not limited to claims for attorneys' fees and costs, and any and all claims for any type of legal or equitable relief.
Salary Benefits and Bonus Compensation 3.1 BASE SALARY. Effective July 1, 2000, as payment for the services to be rendered by the Employee as provided in Section 1 and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2, the Employer agrees to pay to the Employee a "Base Salary" at the rate of $180,000 per annum, payable in equal bi-weekly installments. The Base Salary for each calendar year (or proration thereof) beginning January 1, 2001 shall be determined by the Board of Directors of Avocent Corporation upon a recommendation of the Compensation Committee of Avocent Corporation (the "Compensation Committee"), which shall authorize an increase in the Employee's Base Salary in an amount which, at a minimum, shall be equal to the cumulative cost-of-living increment on the Base Salary as reported in the "Consumer Price Index, Huntsville, Alabama, All Items," published by the U.S. Department of Labor (using July 1, 2000, as the base date for computation prorated for any partial year). The Employee's Base Salary shall be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of Avocent Corporation.
Incentive Pay If the Termination Date is any day other than the last day of the plan year under the CIP, the Company shall pay to Executive an amount equal to a prorated portion of the award that would have been payable to Executive under the CIP for such plan year based on actual performance towards objectives, prorated based on the number of days of the plan year occurring through the Termination Date divided by 365. Any individual performance objectives applicable to Executive for the fiscal year shall be deemed to have been met at a level resulting in payout of 50% of the award amount allocated to such individual objectives. The payment shall be paid to Executive at the same time and in the same manner as CIP awards are paid to other executives of the Company pursuant to the CIP, but not later than 2 1/2 months following the end of the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, provided that Executive has satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 12. Any separation pay that may become payable pursuant to this Section 10(c) is intended to be a short-term deferral not subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
