Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason in Connection with a Change of Control If during the period commencing three (3) months before and ending twelve (12) months after a Change of Control, (1) Executive terminates his employment with the Company (or any Affiliate) for Good Reason or (2) the Company (or any Affiliate) terminates Executive’s employment for other than Cause, Executive becoming Disabled or Executive’s death, then, subject to Section 4, Executive will receive the following severance from the Company:
Termination Without Cause; Termination for Good Reason Subject to Section 6(b) below, upon termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company by the Company without Cause (as defined in Section 5(f) below) or by the Employee for Good Reason (as defined in Section 5(f) below), other than as a result of death or Disability, the Company shall pay to or provide the Employee the following: (1) any unpaid base salary the Employee has earned through the date of termination, (2) any unpaid annual bonus that the Employee has earned with respect to a year ending prior to such termination, (3) 12 months of the Employee’s then current base salary paid on the Company’s normal payroll dates, (4) the pro-rated portion (based on the number of days in the year completed through the date of termination) of the Employee’s target bonus for the year of termination (paid on the normal date for the payment of the bonus), such amount to be paid only if the Employee has met his pro-rated objective performance targets through the date of termination, (5) an amount equal to the Employee’s target bonus for the year of termination, (6) the costs of COBRA continuation coverage for the Employee and his dependents from the date the Employee’s employment terminates through the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of such termination and (B) the date on which the Employee becomes entitled to health coverage of a similar type from another employer, plus/less (7) any positive/negative accrued vacation days. In addition to the foregoing, upon a termination of the Employee’s employment described in this Section 5(b), any stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock, share rights and all other similar types of equity incentives held by the Employee immediately prior to the termination of the Employee’s employment that, but for the termination of the Employee’s employment, would have become vested and, if applicable, exercisable by the first anniversary of the date of his termination of employment, will become immediately vested and, if applicable, exercisable. No amount shall be payable and no benefits shall be provided pursuant to this Section 5(b) until the Employee has executed a release and waiver agreement (substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule C) releasing and waiving any claims against the Company and in which the Company releases and waives claims against the Employee and if the Employee is serving as a Director of the Company a valid and effective resignation from the Board unless the Employee beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the Company’s Common Stock.
Termination for Good Reason or Without Cause If the Executive's employment hereunder is terminated by the Employer other than for cause (and other than a termination due to disability or death) or by the Executive for good reason, the Employer shall pay or provide to or on behalf of the Executive the following: (i) the Executive's Salary for the remainder, if any, of the calendar month in which such termination is effective and (A) in the case of such an employment termination on or before the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date, twenty-four (24) consecutive calendar months, or (B) in the case of such an employment termination after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date, eighteen (18) consecutive calendar months thereafter, but in no event shall the period described in clause (A) or (B) above extend beyond the Executive's death (the "severance period"); provided however, that if the Executive obtains other employment prior to the end of the severance period, he must promptly give notice thereof to the Employer, and continued Salary payments under this Agreement for any period after the Executive obtains other employment will be reduced by the amount of the cash compensation received and to be received by the Executive from the Executive's other employment for services performed during such period. (ii) the portion of the Executive's Annual Incentive Compensation under Section 3.2(a) that otherwise would have been payable based on the then current actual performance, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the number of days from January 1st of the calendar year in which such termination occurs until the date of the Executive's employment termination, and (B) the denominator of which is 365. (iii) subject to the Executive's continued co-payment of premiums, continued participation during the severance period in all medical plans that cover the Executive (and his eligible dependents) upon the same terms and conditions (except for the requirement of the Executive's continued employment) in effect for active employees of the Employer during the severance period. If the Executive obtains other employment that offers substantially similar or improved benefits, as to any particular medical plan, continuation of coverage by the Employer under this Section 6.5(a)(iii) shall immediately cease. The continuation of health benefits under this subsection shall reduce and count against the Executive's rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or the terms of any severance plan or policy maintained by the Employer or its Affiliates to the contrary, if the Employer makes payments and provides benefits under Section 6.5(a), the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any other payments or benefits under any other severance or similar plan maintained by the Employer or its Affiliates.
RESIGNATION/TERMINATION The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder (except liabilities arising prior to resignation as a result of the Warrant Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (which bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction)) after giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Company. In the event the transfer agency relationship in effect between the Company and Warrant Agent terminates, the Warrant Agent shall be deemed to have resigned automatically and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement as of the effective date of such termination. The Company may remove the Warrant Agent upon thirty (30) calendar days’ written notice, and the Warrant Agent shall thereupon in like manner be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder, except as have been caused by the Warrant Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (which bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) prior to its removal. The Company shall cause to be mailed promptly (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to each registered Holder at such Holder’s last address as shown on the register of the Company, at the Company’s expense, a copy of such notice of resignation or notice of removal, as the case may be. Upon such resignation or removal the Company shall promptly appoint in writing a new warrant agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) calendar days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation by the resigning Warrant Agent or after such removal, then the Holder of any Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new warrant agent. A resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent and appointment of a successor Warrant Agent will become effective only upon the successor Warrant Agent’s acceptance of appointment. Pending appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by such a court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company. Any successor warrant agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a Person, incorporated under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and authorized under such laws to conduct a shareholder services business, be subject to supervision and examination by a Federal or state authority, and have a combined capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition; or in the case of such capital and surplus requirement, a controlled affiliate of such a Person meeting such capital and surplus requirement. After acceptance in writing of such appointment by the new Warrant Agent, such successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities under this Agreement as if it had been originally named herein as the Warrant Agent, without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed; but if for any reason it shall be necessary or expedient to execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed, the same shall be done at the expense of the Company and shall be legally and validly executed and delivered by the resigning or removed Warrant Agent. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Company shall send notice thereof to the resigning or removed Warrant Agent and shall forthwith cause a copy of such notice to be mailed (by first class, postage prepaid) to each registered Holder at such Holder’s last address as shown on the register of the Company. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 12(j), or any defect in any such notice, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.
Required Termination If a court of competent jurisdiction or Government Authority issues a final non-appealable order or judgment holding that all or part of the Agreement or all or a part of the Services offered under the Agreement are in violation of any Law (each, a “Judgment”), the affected party has the right to terminate those portions of the Agreement that are part of such Judgment by providing the other party with written notice of its intent to terminate such portions of the Agreement, and subject to Section II.E, such termination of such portions of the Agreement will be effective as of the date specified in such notice.
Good Reason Termination Good Reason Termination means a Termination of Employment initiated by Participant that is related to one or more conditions described in subsection (a), and that is subject to the timing, notice and remedy provisions of subsection (b):
OBLIGATIONS SURVIVE TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT Executive agrees that any and all of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to Exhibits B and C, shall survive the termination of employment and the termination of this Agreement.
Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason If the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company (other than for Cause, Disability or death) or the Executive resigns for Good Reason during the Term, then the Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits, subject to compliance, where applicable, with the requirements in Section 4.4 below regarding release of claims, the Company shall: (a) pay to the Executive in a lump sum (i) any unpaid base salary of the Executive, (ii) any accrued but unused and unpaid vacation pay of the Executive, (iii) any earned and unpaid bonuses of the Executive, and (iv) the amount of any unpaid compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon) (provided that this clause (iv) shall not cause accelerated payment of amounts subject to Section 409A (as defined below) if not provided for under the terms by which such amounts were or are deferred), in each case of clauses (i) through (iv) through the Date of Termination (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”); (b) continue to provide to the Executive in accordance with the Company’s ordinary payroll practices, the Executive’s base salary for a period of time after the Date of Termination equal to 12 months (the “Severance Period”), with payments beginning as provided in 4.4 below; (c) if and while the Executive and his or her family qualifies for and elects to participate in continuation health coverage under Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”), the Company will continue to pay the share of the premium for such coverage that it pays for active and similarly-situated employees who receive the same type of coverage until the earlier of (i) the end of the Severance Period or (ii) the date the Executive’s COBRA continuation coverage expires, unless the Company’s providing payments for COBRA will violate the nondiscrimination requirements of applicable law, in which case this benefit will not apply; and (d) to the extent not previously paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive following the Executive’s termination of employment under any plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement of the Company (collectively, the “Other Benefits”).
Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason In the event (x) the Executive's employment hereunder is terminated by the Company without Cause, other than due to Disability or death, or (y) the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason hereunder at his initiative within 60 days following the occurrence of a Good Reason which has not been cured by the Company within 20 calendar days of receipt of notice thereof from the Executive, the Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits: (i) Base Salary through the date of termination; (ii) a Pro-Rata annual incentive award for the year of termination, based on the target bonus for such year, payable promptly following such termination; (iii) a lump sum payment in an amount equal to two times the Executive's Base Salary, determined as provided in the last sentence of this Section 14(d), payable promptly following such termination; (iv) a lump sum payment in an amount equal to two times the Executive's target annual incentive award for the year of termination, payable promptly following such termination; (v) all outstanding stock options shall become fully vested and exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period equal to the lesser of five years and the remainder of their originally scheduled terms; (vi) two additional years of service for the purpose of determining the supplemental pension benefit pursuant to Section 10; provided, however, that the total number of years of service taken into account in determining such benefit shall in no event exceed ten (10); and (vii) continued participation in all medical, dental, vision and hospitalization insurance coverage and benefits and in all other employee and senior-level executive welfare benefit plans, programs and arrangements in which he was participating on the date of the termination of his employment, on the same terms and conditions as if he had remained employed by the Company, for a period equal to 24 months following the termination of his employment; provided, however, that if the Executive becomes re-employed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer-provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described above shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility, provided that, to the extent that the Company's plans, programs and arrangements do not permit such continuation of the Executive's participation following his termination, the Company shall provide the Executive, no less frequently than quarterly in advance with an amount which, after taxes, is sufficient for him to purchase equivalent benefits. For purposes of Section 14(d)(iv) above, Base Salary shall be determined by the Base Salary at the annualized rate in effect on the date of termination of the Executive's employment, provided however, if, prior to the termination of the Executive's employment pursuant to this Section 14(d), the Base Salary has been reduced without the Executive's consent, the Base Salary in effect on the date of termination of the Executive's employment shall be deemed to be the Base Salary as in effect prior to such reduction.
