Profit Sharing Plan Under the Northrim BanCorp, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”), Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual profit share based on performance as defined by the Board of Directors. Executive will be classified in the Executive tier under the Plan’s Responsibility Factors. If Employer is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to “material noncompliance of the Employer,” the Employer will recover from the Executive any incentive compensation during the three (3) years prior to the date of the restatement, in excess of what would have been paid under the restatement. Executive’s signature on this Agreement authorizes Employer to offset or deduct from any compensation Employer may owe Executive, any excess payments (in whole or in part) that Executive may owe Employer due to such restatement(s).
Incentive Compensation Plans The occurrence of any of the following: (i) a material reduction by the Corporation in the Executive’s (A) annual incentive compensation target or maximum opportunity, or (B) long-term incentive compensation target or maximum opportunity (measured based on grant date fair value of any equity-based awards), in each case, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or (ii) a change in the performance conditions, vesting, or other material terms and conditions applicable to annual and/or long-term incentive compensation awards granted to Executive after the Change in Control which would have the effect of materially reducing the Executive’s aggregate potential incentive compensation from the level in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control; or
Separation Compensation In exchange for your agreement to the general release and waiver of claims and covenant not to sue set forth below and your other promises herein, the Company agrees to provide you with the following:
Incentive and Bonus Compensation The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s existing and future bonus and stock option plans and other incentive compensation programs for similarly situated executives (collectively, “Plans”), to the extent that the Executive is qualified to participate in any such Plan under the generally applicable provisions thereof in effect from time to time. Such eligibility is not a guarantee of participation in or of the receipt of any award, payment or other compensation under any Plan. To the extent the Executive does participate in a Plan and the Plan does not expressly provide otherwise, the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board, as appropriate, may determine all terms of participation (including, without limitation, the type and size of any award, payment or other compensation and the timing and conditions of receipt thereof by the Executive) in the Chief Executive Officer’s or the Board’s sole and absolute discretion. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or the Board from amending or terminating any and all Plans in its sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms of each Plan shall govern the Executive’s rights and obligations thereunder during the Executive’s employment and upon the termination thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the definition of “Cause” hereunder shall not supersede the definition of “cause” in any Plan (unless the Plan expressly defers to the definition of “cause” under an executive’s employment agreement) and any rights of the Executive hereunder upon and subsequent to the termination of the Executive’s employment shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any right of the Executive under any Plan then in effect upon or subsequent to a termination of employment.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Subject to the Executive’s continued employment hereunder, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in any equity incentive plan for executives of the Firm as may be in effect from time to time, in accordance with the terms of any such plan.
Long-term Incentive Compensation Programs During the Employment Period, the Executive shall participate in all long-term incentive compensation programs (including, without limitation, programs providing for the grant of stock options and other equity-based awards) for key executives at a level that is commensurate with the Executive's participation in such plans immediately prior to the Effective Date, or, if more favorable to the Executive, at the level made available to the Executive or other similarly situated officers at any time thereafter.
Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with incentive opportunities (measured with respect to both regular and special incentive opportunities, to the extent, if any, that such distinction is applicable), savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided by the Company and its affiliated companies for the Executive under such plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.
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.
Executive Compensation Plans Executive shall be entitled during the Term to participate, without discrimination or duplication, in executive compensation plans and programs intended for general participation by senior executives of the Bank, as presently in effect or as they may be modified or added to by the Bank from time to time, subject to the eligibility and other requirements of such plans and programs, including without limitation any stock option plans, plans under which restricted stock/restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock/restricted stock units or performance-accelerated restricted stock/restricted stock units (collectively, “stock plans”) may be awarded, other annual and long-term cash and/or equity incentive plans, and deferred compensation plans. The Bank makes no commitment under this Section 5(a) to provide participation opportunities to Executive in all plans and programs or at levels equal to (or otherwise comparable to) the participation opportunity of any other executive.
Deferred Compensation Plans Borrower has no pension, profit sharing or other compensatory or similar plan (herein called a “Plan”) providing for a program of deferred compensation for any employee or officer. No fact or situation, including but not limited to, any “Reportable Event,” as that term is defined in Section 4043 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as the same may be amended from time to time (“Pension Reform Act”), exists or will exist in connection with any Plan of Borrower which might constitute grounds for termination of any Plan by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or cause the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a Trustee to administer any such Plan. No “Prohibited Transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Pension Reform Act exists or will exist upon the execution and delivery of the Agreement or the performance by the parties hereto of their respective duties and obligations hereunder. Borrower will (1) at all times make prompt payment of contributions required to meet the minimum funding standards set forth in Sections 302 through 305 of the Pension Reform Act with respect to each of its Plans; (2) promptly, after the filing thereof, furnish to Agent copies of each annual report required to be filed pursuant to Section 103 of the Pension Reform Act in connection with each Plan for each Plan Year, including any certified financial statements or actuarial statements required pursuant to said Section 103; (3) notify Agent immediately of any fact, including, but not limited to, any Reportable Event arising in connection with any Plan which might constitute grounds for termination thereof by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a Trustee to administer the Plan; and (4) notify Agent of any “Prohibited Transaction” as that term is defined in Section 406 of the Pension Reform Act. Borrower will not (a) engage in any Prohibited Transaction or (b) terminate any such Plan in a manner which could result in the imposition of a Lien on the Property of Borrower pursuant to Section 4068 of the Pension Reform Act.
