Without Just Cause The Company may, by written notice to the Employee, immediately terminate his employment at any time, resulting in a Separation from Service, for a reason other than Just Cause, in which event the Employee shall be entitled to receive the following compensation and benefits (unless such Separation from Service occurs within the time period set forth in subsection 10(a) hereof, in which event the benefits and compensation provided for in Section 10 shall apply):
(i) One times the base salary provided pursuant to Section 2 hereof, as in effect on the date of Separation from Service;
(ii) An amount equal to the Bonuses received by or payable to the Employee in the calendar year prior to the calendar year of the Employee’s Separation from Service; and
(iii) Cash reimbursement to the Employee in an amount equal to the cost to the Employee (demonstrated by submission to the Company of invoices, bills, or other proof of payment by the Employee) of (A) all other Employee Benefits (all as defined in subsection 4(a) excluding Bonuses which will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plans or agreements) and (B) all Automobile Benefits (as defined in subsection 4(b)) and professional and club dues the Employee would otherwise have been eligible to participate in or receive, through the first anniversary of the Employee’s Separation from Service, based upon the benefit levels substantially equal to those provided for the Employee at the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service. The Employee shall also be entitled to receive an amount necessary to provide any cash payments received under this subsection 8(d)(ii) net of all income and payroll taxes that would not have been payable by the Employee had he continued participation in the benefit plan or program instead of receiving cash reimbursement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but only to the extent required under federal banking law, the amount payable under subsection 8(d) shall be reduced to the extent that on the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, the present value of the benefits payable under subsection 8(d) exceeds any limitation on severance benefits that is imposed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) on such benefits. All amounts payable to the Employee under subsections 8(d)(i) and 8(d)(ii) shall be paid in one lump sum within ten days of such Separation from Service. All amounts payable to the Employee under subsection 8(d)(iii) shall be paid on the first day of each month following the Employee’s Separation from Service, in an amount equal to the total reimbursable amount (demonstrated by invoices, bills or other proof of payment submitted by the Employee). Such amounts must be submitted for reimbursement no later than the earlier of: (i) six months after the date such amounts are paid by the Employee; or (ii) March 15th of the year following the year in which the Employee paid the amount.
Discharge Without Cause The Bank may discharge the Officer without Cause at any time after the occurrence of a Change of Control or Pending Change of Control, and in such event:
(a) The Bank shall pay and deliver to the Officer (or in the event of his death before payment, to his estate and surviving dependents and beneficiaries, as applicable) the Standard Termination Entitlements.
(b) In addition to the Standard Termination Entitlements:
(i) During the Assurance Period, the Bank shall provide for the Officer and his dependents continued group life, health (including hospitalization, medical and major medical), dental, accident and long-term disability insurance benefits on substantially the same terms and conditions (including any required premium-sharing arrangements, co-payments and deductibles) in effect for them immediately prior to the Officer’s resignation. The coverage provided under this section 6(b)(i) may, at the election of the Bank, be secondary to the coverage provided as part of the Standard Termination Entitlements and to any employer-paid coverage provided by a subsequent employer or through Medicare, with the result that benefits under the other coverages will offset the coverage required by this section 6(b)(i).
(ii) The Bank shall make a lump sum payment to the Officer (or, in the event of his death before payment, to his estate), in an amount equal to the value of the salary, bonus, short-term and long-term cash compensation that the Officer received in the calendar year preceding that in which the termination of employment with the Bank occurs to compensate the Officer for the payments the Officer would have received during the Assurance Period. Such lump sum shall be paid in lieu of all other payments of salary, bonus, short-term and long-term cash compensation provided for under this Agreement in respect of the period following any such termination. Such payment shall be made (without discounting for early payment) within thirty (30) days following the Officer’s termination of employment. The payments and benefits described in section 6(b) are referred to in this Agreement as the “Additional Change of Control Entitlements”.
Termination Without Just Cause In the case of a termination of Executive’s employment hereunder Without Just Cause in accordance with Section 1.6.6, Executive shall be entitled to the following in lieu of any other compensation or benefits (under Section 1.4 of this Agreement or otherwise) from Employer:
(i) Executive shall receive Termination Compensation each month during the Compensation Continuance Period, subject, however, to Executive’s compliance with Executive’s Section 2 covenants (including, without limitation, compliance with the noncompetition and nonsolicitation covenants of Section 2) for a one (1) year period following Executive’s Termination Date.
(ii) Employer shall use their best efforts to accelerate vesting of any unvested benefits of Executive under any employee stock-based or other benefit plan or arrangement to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A or other applicable law and the terms of such plan or arrangement.
(iii) Employer shall make available to Executive, at Employer’s cost, outplacement services by such entity or person as shall be designated by Employer, with the cost to Employer of such outplacement services not to exceed Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000).
(iv) During the Compensation Continuance Period, Executive shall either continue to participate (treating Executive as an “active employee” of Employer for this purpose) in the same group hospitalization plan, health care plan, dental care plan, life or other insurance or death benefit plan, and any other present or future similar group employee benefit plan or program for which officers of Employer generally are eligible, on the same terms as were in effect prior to Executive’s Termination Date, or, to the extent such participation is not permitted by any group plan insurer, under comparable individual plans and coverage (to the extent commercially available). The Termination Compensation and other benefits provided for in this Section 1.7.3 shall be paid by Employer in accordance with the standard payroll practices and procedures in effect prior to Executive’s Termination Date. If Executive breaches Executive’s obligations under Section 1.7.3 or Section 2 of this Agreement, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any further Termination Compensation or benefits pursuant to this Section 1.7.3 from and after the date of such breach.
Resignation without Good Reason The Executive may resign from the Executive’s employment without Good Reason.
With or Without Cause The Company may terminate the Executive's employment during the Employment Period with or without Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean:
By the Executive Without Good Reason The Executive may terminate his employment without Good Reason at any time upon sixty (60) days’ notice to the Company. The Board may elect to waive such notice period or any portion thereof but, in such event, will pay to the Executive the Base Salary for the period so waived.
By Executive Without Good Reason The Executive may resign and terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company without Good Reason at any time “at will” upon written notice of termination to the Company.
Termination for Cause or Resignation without Good Reason If, during the Term of this Agreement, Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or Executive resigns his employment hereunder without Good Reason, the Company shall pay Executive the Termination Amounts, less standard deductions and withholdings. The Company shall thereafter have no further obligations to Executive under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided by law.
Resignation from the Company without Good Reason Executive may resign Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason other than Good Reason or for no reason.
By the Company Without Cause During the Term, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment without Cause at any time. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause following the initial Public Offering then, in addition to paying Executive the Final Compensation and subject to Executive’s compliance with Article 7 in all material respects, the Company shall: (a) continue to pay Executive the Base Salary at the rate in effect on the Termination Date during the Restricted Period, with the first payment being on the Company’s next regular payroll period which is at least eight (8) business days following the effective date of the Release (defined below) (provided that if the 60-day time period for the Release begins in one taxable year and ends in a subsequent taxable year, the first payment shall be paid in the subsequent taxable year (for example, if Executive terminates on December 1, then the first payment shall not be paid until on or after January 1 of the next year, regardless of when the Release is returned)); (b) continue Executive’s health insurance benefits for the Restricted Period (at a cost no less favorable than that paid by Executive immediately prior to the Termination Date) or the economic equivalent thereto if such continuation is not permissible under the terms of the Company’s health insurance plan or would otherwise expose the Company to tax or other penalties; and (c) pay Executive an amount equal to the pro rata amount of the Bonus Executive would have earned for the year in which the termination occurred, based on the Company’s performance for the entire fiscal year in which the termination occurred relative to the performance measurements that were pending at the time of termination and to be used to determine Executive’s bonus for such year. Any such prorated Bonus shall be payable at such time or times as bonuses are payable to the other executives of the Company (the benefits, which the parties acknowledge are not required by law, outlined in Section(s) 5.4(a), (b) and (c) are collectively referenced as the “Severance”). Any obligation of the Company to provide Executive the Severance is conditioned on Executive signing, delivering to the Company and not revoking a release, in a form acceptable to the Company (the “Release”), within sixty (60) days of his Termination Date, which Release in any event will require Executive to reaffirm his obligations and commitments to the Company under Section 7 of this Agreement.
