Specified Employee Delay If the Associate is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, any benefits or payments (including installments and insurance premiums and contributions) which (a) constitute a “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A, (b) become payable as a result of the Associate’s termination of employment for reasons other than death, and (c) become due under this Agreement during the first six (6) months (or such longer period as required by Code Section 409A) after termination of employment shall be delayed and all such delayed payments (or delayed installments, premiums or contributions) shall be paid to the Associate in full in the seventh (7th) month after the date of termination and all subsequent payments (or installments) shall be paid in accordance with their original payment schedule. To the extent that any insurance premiums or other benefit contributions constituting a “deferral of compensation” become subject to the above delay, the Associate shall be responsible for paying such amounts directly to the insurer or other third party and shall receive reimbursement from Company for such amounts in the seventh (7th) month as described above. This paragraph shall not apply to payments made as a result of a termination of employment that is the result of the Associate’s death.
Exclusion from Compensation Calculation By acceptance of this Agreement, you shall be deemed to be in agreement that the Units covered hereby shall be considered special incentive compensation and will be exempt from inclusion as “wages” or “salary” in pension, retirement, life insurance and other employee benefits arrangements of the Company and its Affiliates, except as determined otherwise by the Company. In addition, each of your beneficiaries shall be deemed to be in agreement that all such shares be exempt from inclusion in “wages” or “salary” for purposes of calculating benefits of any life insurance coverage sponsored by the Company or any of its Affiliates.
Termination of Service for Cause If your Service is terminated by the Company for Cause or if you commit an act(s) of Cause while this Option is outstanding, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to your Option without consideration, including any vested portion of the Option, and the entire Option shall immediately expire, and any rights, payments and benefits with respect to the Option shall be subject to reduction or recoupment in accordance with the Clawback Policy and the Plan. For avoidance of doubt, your Service shall also be deemed to have been terminated for Cause by the Company if, after your Service has otherwise terminated, facts and circumstances are discovered that would have justified a termination for Cause, including, without limitation, your violation of Company policies or breach of confidentiality or other restrictive covenants or conditions that may apply to you prior to or after your Termination Date.
Death, Disability or Retirement Subject to the provisions of Section 1 hereof, this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the Executive's death, termination due to "Disability" (as defined below) or voluntary retirement under any of the Company's retirement plans as in effect from time to time. For purposes of this Agreement, Disability shall mean the Executive has met the conditions to qualify for long-term disability benefits under the Company's policies, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date.
Death or Total Disability In the event of the death of the Executive during the Term, this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of the Executive's death. In the event of the Total Disability (as that term is defined below) of the Executive for sixty (60) days in the aggregate during any consecutive nine (9) month period during the Term, the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving the Executive thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof, and upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Executive's employment under this Agreement shall terminate. If the Executive shall resume his duties within thirty (30) days after receipt of such a notice of termination and continue to perform such duties for four (4) consecutive weeks thereafter, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, without any reduction in Base Salary and other benefits, and the notice of termination shall be considered null and void and of no effect. Upon termination of this Agreement under this Paragraph 7(a), the Company shall have no further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except to pay to the Executive's estate or the Executive, as the case may be, (i) the portion, if any, that remains unpaid of the Base Salary for the Year in which termination occurred, but in no event less than six (6) months' Base Salary; and (ii) the amount of any expenses reimbursable in accordance with Paragraph 4 above, and any automobile allowance due under Paragraph 5 above; and (iii) any amounts due under any Company benefit, welfare or pension plan. Except as otherwise provided by their terms, any stock options not vested at the time of the termination of this Agreement under this Paragraph 7(a) shall immediately become fully vested.
Termination of Services If the Optionee’s services with the Company and all Related Corporations are terminated for any reason (other than death or disability) prior to the Expiration Date, then this Option may be exercised by Optionee, to the extent of the number of Common Shares with respect to which the Optionee could have exercised it on the date of such termination of services, at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date, or (ii) three months after such termination of services. Any part of the Option that was not exercisable immediately before the termination of Optionee’s services shall terminate at that time.
Six Month Delay for Specified Employees If any payment, compensation or other benefit provided to the Executive in connection with his employment termination is determined, in whole or in part, to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A, no part of such payments shall be paid before the day that is six months plus one day after the Executive’s date of termination or, if earlier, the Executive’s death (the “New Payment Date”). The aggregate of any payments that otherwise would have been paid to the Executive during the period between the date of termination and the New Payment Date shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on such New Payment Date. Thereafter, any payments that remain outstanding as of the day immediately following the New Payment Date shall be paid without delay over the time period originally scheduled, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Termination of 401(k) Plan The Company agrees to terminate its 401(k) plan immediately prior to the Closing, unless Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, agrees to sponsor and maintain such plan by providing the Company with notice of such election at least five days before the Effective Time.
Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability, or Retirement If the Optionee’s termination of employment is due to death, Disability, or Retirement (termination on or after age 65), or if Optionee terminates employment after age 55, the following shall apply:
Compensation During Disability or Upon Termination (i) If, during the Protected Period, Employee fails to perform Employee's normal duties as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Employee shall continue during the period of such disability to receive Employee's full Base Salary and any awards, deferred and nondeferred, payable during such period under the Bonus Plan, less any amounts paid to Employee during such period of disability pursuant to the Company's short term disability or sick-leave program(s) until Employee's employment is terminated or such Disability ends. This Section 4(i) shall not reduce or impair Employee's rights to terminate employment for a Good Reason as otherwise provided herein.
