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.
Severance Agreement Any payments of compensation made pursuant to Articles 4 and 5 are contingent on Executive executing the Company’s standard severance agreement, including a general release of the Company, its owners, partners, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, independent contractors, agents, attorneys, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns, parents, subsidiaries, affiliated entities and related entities, and on Executive’s continued compliance with Section 6. Executive must execute the standard severance agreement and release within 45 days of being provided with the document to sign or the severance agreement offer will expire.
Severance If any provision (or part thereof) of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not practical, the relevant provision shall be deemed deleted. Any such modification or deletion of a provision shall not affect the validity, legality and enforceability of the rest of this Agreement. If a Party gives notice to another Party of the possibility that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate to amend such provision so that, as amended, it is valid, legal and enforceable and achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision.
Severance and Change in Control Benefits The Committee has designated you a participant in the Company’s Executive Change in Control and Severance Plan (the “Policy”), attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement. As a participant in the Policy, you will be eligible to receive severance payments and benefits upon certain qualifying terminations of your Employment as set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement (the “Participation Terms”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Policy. By signing this Agreement, you agree that this Agreement, the Policy, and the Participation Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the subject matter of this paragraph and supersede in their entirety all prior representations, understandings, undertakings or agreements (whether oral or written and whether expressed or implied), and specifically supersede any severance and/or change of control provisions of any offer letter, employment agreement, or equity award agreement entered into between you and the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, all other terms of any equity awards granted to you by the Company will remain in effect.
Separation Payment Except with respect to the Accrued Benefits as defined in the Employment Agreement, if you sign this Agreement, agreeing to be bound by the General Release in Paragraph 3 below and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement described below, and comply with the requirements of this Paragraph 2 (other than the Accrued Benefits), you will receive the compensation and benefits as contemplated by the Employment Agreement. You will not be eligible for the payment and benefits described in this Paragraph 2 unless: (i) you sign this Agreement no later than twenty-one (21) days after you receive it, promptly return the Agreement to the Company after you sign it, and do not timely revoke it; and (ii) you have returned all Company property and documents in accordance with Paragraph 15 below.
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 Pay In the event that your employment is terminated by the Company, except for “Cause” as defined below, you will be eligible to receive the following:
Severance Allowance In the event of a Control Termination of this Agreement, Executive may elect, within 60 days after such Control Termination, to be paid a lump sum severance allowance, in lieu of the termination payments provided for in Section 11 above, in an amount which is equal to the sum of the amounts determined in accordance with the following clauses (a) and (b):
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.
Consulting Arrangement The Company hereby engages Consultant as an independent contractor and not as an employee, to render consulting services to Xxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc. only and to no other company as hereinafter provided; ; this agreement is based on clear acknowledgement that ALL services are solely for XxxxXxxx.xxx, Inc. and the implementation of its corporate and business plans alone. Services therefore remain very focused and DO NOT need to address the many Corporate Consolidation Issues under prior proposals. In addition, Consultant hereby accepts such engagement for a period commencing on August 1, 2002, and ending on the August 1, 2003. Consultant agrees that Consultant will not have any authority to bind or act on behalf of the Company. Consultant shall at all times be an independent contractor hereunder, rather than an agent, coventurer, employee or representative of the Company. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that Consultant may engage directly or indirectly in other businesses and ventures and shall not be required to perform any services under this Agreement when, or for such periods in which, the rendering of such services shall unduly interfere with such other businesses and ventures, providing that such undertakings do not completely preempt Consultant's availability during the term of this Agreement. Neither Consultant nor his employees will be considered by reason of the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise as being an employee of the Company or as being entitled to participate in any health insurance, medical, pension, bonus or similar employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company for its employees. Consultant shall report all earnings under this Agreement in the manner appropriate to its status as an independent contractor and shall file all necessary reports and pay all taxes with respect to such payments.
