Equity Compensation Executive will continue to be eligible to receive stock and option grants, and other equity compensation awards (“Awards”), as determined by the Board or any committee thereof in the Board’s or such committee’s sole discretion.
Severance Compensation In the event (i) Employee terminates this Agreement for Good Reason in accordance with Paragraph 11.3 hereof; (ii) Employee is terminated for any reason (except death or disability) upon, or within six months following, a "Change in Management or Control (as such term is defined in Paragraph 11.5 hereof);" or (iii) Employee is terminated without Cause, the Company shall be obligated to pay severance compensation to Employee in an amount equal to his salary compensation (at the rate payable at the time of such termination) for a period of six (6) months from the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee is employed by a new employer, or as a consultant after the termination of this Agreement, the severance compensation payable to Employee hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of compensation that Employee actually receives from the new employer, or as a consultant. However, Employee shall have a duty to inform the Company that he has obtained such new employment, and the failure to do so is a material breach of this Agreement. In such event, the Company shall be entitled to (i) cease all payments to Employee under this Paragraph 11.4; and (ii) recover any unauthorized payments to Employee in an action for breach of contract. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, solely in the event of a termination upon or following a Change in Management or Control, the amount of severance compensation paid to Employee hereunder shall not include any amount that the Company is prohibited from deducting for federal income tax purposes by virtue of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor provision. In addition to the foregoing severance compensation, the Company shall pay Employee (i) all compensation for services rendered hereunder and not previously paid; (ii) accrued vacation pay; and (iii) any appropriate business expenses incurred by Employee in connection with his duties hereunder and approved pursuant to Section 4 hereof, all through the date of termination. Employee shall not be entitled to any bonus compensation, whether vested or unvested; or any other compensation, benefits or reimbursement of any kind.
Termination Compensation Termination Compensation equal to two (2) times the Executive's Base Period Income shall be paid to the Executive in a single sum payment in cash on the thirtieth (30th) business day after the later of (a) the Control Change Date and (b) the date of the Executive's employment termination; provided that if at the time of the Executive's termination of employment the Executive is a Specified Employee, then payment of the Termination Compensation to the Executive shall be made on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the Executive's employment termination.
Compensation Benefits In accordance with Section 142 of the State Finance Law, this contract shall be void and of no force and effect unless the Contractor shall provide and maintain coverage during the life of this contract for the benefit of such employees as are required to be covered by the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Law.
Equity Incentive Compensation Executive shall be eligible to receive annual equity awards based on the Company’s and Executive’s actual performance, as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee. Each such equity award granted to Executive hereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the incentive plan pursuant to which it is granted and such other terms and conditions as are established by the Board or Compensation Committee and set forth in an award agreement evidencing the grant of such equity award.
Severance Payments 6.1 If the Executive's employment is terminated following a Change in Control and during the Term, other than (A) by the Company for Cause, (B) by reason of death or Disability, or (C) by the Executive without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts, and provide the Executive the benefits, described in this Section 6.1 ("Severance Payments") and Section 6.2, in addition to any payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Section 5 hereof; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be entitled to the Severance Payments unless and until the Executive (or, in the event of the Executive's death, the executor, personal representative or administrator of the Executive's estate) has signed a written waiver and release substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit A hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, if (i) during the Term the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause following a Potential Change in Control but prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and such termination was at the request or direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control, (ii) during the Term the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason following a Potential Change in Control but prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the request or direction of such Person or (iii) during the Term the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason and such termination or the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs). An Executive will not be considered to have been terminated by reason of the divestiture of a facility, sale or other disposition of a business or business unit, or the outsourcing of a business activity with which the Executive is affiliated, notwithstanding the fact that such divestiture, sale or outsourcing takes place within two years following a Change in Control, if the Executive is offered comparable employment by the successor company and such successor company agrees to assume the Company's obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.
Severance Payment Executive will be paid continuing payments of severance pay at a rate equal to Executive’s base salary rate, as then in effect, for twelve (12) months from the date of such termination of employment, to be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies.
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.
