Defined Contribution Plan A plan under which Employee accounts are maintained for each Participant to which all contributions, forfeitures, investment income and gains or losses, and expenses are credited or deducted. A Participant’s benefit under such plan is based solely on the fair market value of his or her account balance.
Defined Contribution Plans The Company does not maintain, contribute to or have any liability under (or with respect to) any employee plan which is a tax-qualified "defined contribution plan" (as defined in Section 3(34) of ERISA), whether or not terminated.
EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFIT PLANS This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior agreement between the Bank and Executive, except that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this Agreement.
EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFITS PLANS This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior employment agreement between the Bank or any predecessor of the Bank and Executive, except that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this Agreement.
Employee Benefit Plans; Existing Agreements (a) Following the Effective Time, the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Company Employees”) shall be eligible to participate in employee benefit plans, including severance plans (each a “Parent Plan”), of Parent or its Subsidiaries in which similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries participate, to the same extent that similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries participate; provided, however, that, in the case of all benefits then provided to the Company Employees, until the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent may instead provide such employees with participation in the employee benefit plans of the Company in which they participated immediately prior to the Effective Time (it being understood that inclusion of Company Employees in Parent’s employee benefit plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans). From and after the Effective Time, Parent may elect not to provide to the Company Employees any benefits which are not then provided by Parent and its Subsidiaries to their employees notwithstanding that such benefits were provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to their employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the case of benefits which are provided at the Effective Time by Parent to employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries but are not then provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to their employees, Parent will as soon as possible, and in all events within one year, after the Effective Time include the Company Employees in the plans under which such benefits are made available.
DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN LIMITATION If the Employer maintains a defined benefit plan, or has ever maintained a defined benefit plan which the Employer has terminated, then the sum of the defined benefit plan fraction and the defined contribution plan fraction for any Participant for any Limitation Year must not exceed 1.0. The Employer must provide in Adoption Agreement Section 3.18 the manner in which the Plan will satisfy this limitation. The Employer also must provide in its Adoption Agreement Section 3.18 the manner in which the Plan will satisfy the top heavy requirements of Code Section 416 after taking into account the existence (or prior maintenance) of the defined benefit plan.
Employee Matters; Benefit Plans (a) Except as required by applicable Legal Requirements, the employment of each of the Acquired Corporations’ employees is terminable by the applicable Acquired Corporation at will.
Pension Benefit Plans All Pension Benefit Plans maintained by each Covered Person or an ERISA Affiliate of such Covered Person qualify under Section 401 of the Code and are in compliance with the provisions of ERISA to the extent ERISA is applicable and all other Material Laws. Except with respect to events or occurrences which do not have and are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Covered Person, and to the extent ERISA is applicable to any such Pension Benefit Plans:
Effective Date; Termination of Prior Intercompany Tax Allocation Agreements This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, (i) all prior intercompany Tax allocation agreements or arrangements solely between or among BGC Partners and/or any of its Subsidiaries shall be terminated, and (ii) amounts due under such agreements as of the date on which the Effective Time occurs shall be settled. Upon such termination and settlement, no further payments by or to the BGC Group, or by or to the Newmark Group, with respect to such agreements shall be made, and all other rights and obligations resulting from such agreements between the Companies and their Affiliates shall cease at such time. Any payments pursuant to such agreements shall be disregarded for purposes of computing amounts due under this Agreement; provided, that to the extent appropriate, as determined by BGC Partners, payments made pursuant to such agreements shall be credited to the Newmark Entities or the BGC Entities, respectively, in computing their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement, in the event that such payments relate to a Tax liability that is the subject matter of this Agreement for a Tax Period that is the subject matter of this Agreement.
