Discharge Without Cause The Bank may discharge the Officer without Cause at any time after the occurrence of a Change of Control or Pending Change of Control, and in such event:
(a) The Bank shall pay and deliver to the Officer (or in the event of his death before payment, to his estate and surviving dependents and beneficiaries, as applicable) the Standard Termination Entitlements.
(b) In addition to the Standard Termination Entitlements:
(i) During the Assurance Period, the Bank shall provide for the Officer and his dependents continued group life, health (including hospitalization, medical and major medical), dental, accident and long-term disability insurance benefits on substantially the same terms and conditions (including any required premium-sharing arrangements, co-payments and deductibles) in effect for them immediately prior to the Officer’s resignation. The coverage provided under this section 6(b)(i) may, at the election of the Bank, be secondary to the coverage provided as part of the Standard Termination Entitlements and to any employer-paid coverage provided by a subsequent employer or through Medicare, with the result that benefits under the other coverages will offset the coverage required by this section 6(b)(i).
(ii) The Bank shall make a lump sum payment to the Officer (or, in the event of his death before payment, to his estate), in an amount equal to the value of the salary, bonus, short-term and long-term cash compensation that the Officer received in the calendar year preceding that in which the termination of employment with the Bank occurs to compensate the Officer for the payments the Officer would have received during the Assurance Period. Such lump sum shall be paid in lieu of all other payments of salary, bonus, short-term and long-term cash compensation provided for under this Agreement in respect of the period following any such termination. Such payment shall be made (without discounting for early payment) within thirty (30) days following the Officer’s termination of employment. The payments and benefits described in section 6(b) are referred to in this Agreement as the “Additional Change of Control Entitlements”.
Termination by Company Without Cause The Company may terminate Employee’s employment without Cause upon thirty (30) days written notice to Employee. If Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause, and Employee signs and does not revoke a Release, then Employee shall be entitled to the following:
(i) a one-time “lump sum” payment of severance pay (less applicable withholding taxes) in an amount equal to Employee’s annual base salary, as then in effect, to be paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies no later than the Company’s first regular payroll date following the Termination Date;
(ii) a one-time “lump sum” payment of severance pay (less applicable withholding taxes) in an amount equal to 100% of Employee’s annual bonus rate, as then in effect, to be paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies no later than the Company’s first regular payroll date following the Termination Date; and
(iii) the same level of health (i.e., medical, vision and dental) coverage and benefits as in effect for the Employee on the day immediately preceding the Termination Date; provided, however, that (A) the Employee constitutes a qualified beneficiary, as defined in Section 4980B(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and (B) Employee elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA. The Company shall continue to provide Employee with Company-paid health coverage until the earlier of (y) the date Employee is no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA, or (z) twelve (12) months from the Termination Date.
(iv) Fifty percent (50%) of the Employee’s then unvested stock options shall immediately vest and become exercisable and Employee shall have twelve (12) months following the Termination Date to exercise such vested shares; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of any such stock option agreement and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail unless the conflicting provision(s) in any such stock option agreement shall be more favorable to Employee in which case the provision(s) more favorable to Employee shall govern; provided further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing in no event shall the extended twelve (12) month exercise period specified in this Section 6(b)(iv) modify or extend the Expiration Date of any stock option as set forth in such stock option agreement.
Termination Without Cause The Company may terminate Executive’s employment without Cause.
Without Cause If this Amended Agreement shall be terminated by the Company Without Cause:
(a) the Company shall pay to the Employee, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination, the aggregate of the following amounts:
(1) if not theretofore paid, the Employee’s Base Salary (as in effect on the Date of Termination) through the Date of Termination; and
(2) in the case of compensation previously deferred by the Employee, all amounts of such compensation previously deferred and not yet paid by the Company shall be paid in accordance with the plan documents governing such deferrals;
(b) the Company shall, promptly upon submission by the Employee of supporting documentation, pay or reimburse to the Employee any costs and expenses (including moving and relocation expenses) paid or incurred by the Employee which would have been payable under Section 4.5 of this Amended Agreement if the Employee’s employment had not terminated, to be paid no later than 21/2 months after the end of the calendar year in which such expenses were incurred; and
(c) for the 12-month period commencing on the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay the Company portion of any premiums and shall otherwise continue benefits to the Employee and/or the Employee’s family in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices at least equal to those which would have been provided to them under Section 4.4 if the Employee’s employment had not been terminated. With respect to benefits set forth in this subsection (c), to the extent possible, all insurance premium and/or benefit payments by the Company shall be made so as to be exempt from Code Section 409A, and for the purposes thereof, each payment shall be treated as a separate payment under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any benefits that are for medical, dental or vision expenses under a self-insured plan, the Employee shall pay the premiums for such coverage and the Company shall reimburse the Employee for the Company portion of the cost of such premiums by the 15th day of the month following the month such premiums are paid by the Employee. After the group health benefits hereunder have expired, the Employee and his dependents shall be eligible to elect continuation of health insurance coverage under COBRA and shall be responsible for the applicable premiums under COBRA. With respect to any other premiums or amounts payable under this Section 6.3(c), to the extent that such amounts are taxable and not otherwise exempt from deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, the Employee shall pay the premiums for such coverage and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Employee upon Employee’s submission of reasonable documentation of such premiums, and the Company’s payment of such reimbursements or any other benefits under this Section 6.3(c) shall be subject to the following: (i) all amounts to be paid under this paragraph and that are includable in Employee’s income shall only be paid if such expenses are incurred during the 2 year period after the Termination Date; (ii) any amount reimbursable or paid in one tax year shall not affect the amount to be reimbursed or paid in another tax year; (iii) if Employee is reimbursed for any expenses hereunder, he must provide the Company with reasonable documentation of such expenses; (iv) payments for such expenses will be made in cash promptly after the expenses are incurred but in no event later than the end of Employee’s taxable year following the tax year in which the expenses are incurred; and (v) the payments under this paragraph cannot be substituted for another benefit.
(d) the Company shall pay to the Employee, in equal semi-monthly installments, the Employee’s Base Salary (as in effect on the Date of Termination) for 12 months after the Date of Termination.
By Company Without Cause Subject to the last paragraph of this Section 5(a), the Company may terminate Executive’s employment without Cause (as defined below) effective on thirty (30) days’ written notice (such thirty (30)-day period, the “Notice Period”, and such notice, the “Termination Notice”), during which notice period Executive may be relieved of his/her duties and placed on paid terminal leave. In such event and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Executive will be entitled to:
(i) continued coverage under the Company’s insurance benefit plans through the termination date and such other benefits to which he/she may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s benefit plans, provided, however, that Executive shall not participate in any severance plan of the Company;
(ii) payment of all earned but unpaid compensation (including accrued unpaid vacation) through the effective date of termination, payable on or before the termination date; and
(iii) reimbursement of expenses incurred on or before the termination date in accordance with Section 4(e), above, if a request for reimbursement of the expenses was timely submitted to the Company; plus
(iv) payment of the equivalent of the Base Salary without regard to any reduction that would otherwise constitute Good Reason he/she would have earned over the next six (6) months following the termination date (less necessary withholdings and authorized deductions) at his/her then current Base Salary rate (the “Severance Payment”), payable in a lump sum on the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable (the “Release Effective Date”), but in any event within ten (10) business days of the Release Effective Date and subject to Section 16, below;
(v) payment of a prorated portion of the actual bonus Executive would have otherwise received for the fiscal year during which the termination occurs, as if Executive had remained employed by the Company through the date that would have otherwise been required to earn the bonus, but without the Board or any committee of the Board exercising any negative discretion to reduce the amount of the award, calculated by dividing the number of days from the start of the fiscal year through the termination date by 365 and multiplying the amount of such actual bonus Executive would have otherwise received by this percentage (but not by more than 100%), and paid at the same time as bonuses are paid to other Company executives that are similarly situated to Executive; provided, however, that if the termination date is after the seventh month of the fiscal year, the actual bonus will not be prorated and Executive will receive 100% of such actual bonus Executive would have otherwise received for that fiscal year at the same time as bonuses are paid to other Company executives that are similarly situated to Executive;
(vi) subject to Section 5(g), reimbursement of insurance premiums payable to retain group health coverage as of the termination date for himself/herself and his/her eligible dependents pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (“COBRA”) for six (6) months or the maximum period of COBRA coverage, whichever is less; provided that Executive must submit a reimbursement request in accordance with Company policy within thirty (30) days of paying such insurance premiums. The Company will reimburse the executive within thirty (30) days of receiving a properly submitted request. In addition, if Executive accepts other employment within such six (6) months, the Company’s obligation under this Section 5(a)(vi) will be extinguished as of the date Executive becomes covered under the group health plan of Executive’s new employer; and
(vii) payment for executive outplacement assistance services with the Company’s then current outplacement services vendor and in accordance with the Company’s then current policies and practices with respect to outplacement assistance for other executives of the Company for up to twelve (12) months after the termination date. The payments and benefits set forth in Sections 5(a)(i)-(iii) shall be referred to as the “Accrued Benefits”, and the payments and benefits set forth in Sections 5(a)(iv)-(vii) shall be referred to as the “Severance Benefits”. Executive shall not receive the Severance Benefits, the “Enhanced Severance Benefits” as provided in Section 5(e), or the Termination Notice Replacement Payment (as defined below) unless Executive executes the separation agreement and general release attached as Exhibit A (the “Release”), and the same becomes irrevocable pursuant to its terms within the 60-day period following his/her termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 5(a), the Company may terminate Executive’s employment prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, and in the case of such termination, the Company shall pay Executive the equivalent of the Base Salary he/she would have earned over the remainder of the Notice Period (less necessary withholdings and authorized deductions) at his/her then current Base Salary rate (the “Termination Notice Replacement Payment”), subject to Executive satisfying the requirements of the previous sentence. Any such Termination Notice Replacement will be paid in a lump sum at the same time as the Severance Payment.
With or Without Cause The Company may terminate the Executive's employment during the Employment Period with or without Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean:
Termination by Owner for Cause This Agreement may be terminated by Owner (or the Property Manager may be required by Owner to change its personnel assigned as Property Manager for the Property) at any time during the term hereof upon written notice to Property Manager effective immediately for any of the following causes:
(a) If Property Manager shall suspend or discontinue business;
(b) If a court shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of Property Manager in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Property Manager or for any substantial part of its property, or for the winding‑up, dissolution or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall continue unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days or if Property Manager shall consent to any of the foregoing;
(c) If Property Manager shall commence a voluntary case or action under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy insolvency or other similar law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Property Manager or for any substantial part of its property, or make any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing that it is unable, or fail generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or take action in furtherance of any of the foregoing;
(d) If Property Manager is grossly negligent or engages in willful misconduct with respect to its duties or obligations to Owner under this Agreement; or
(e) If Property Manager commits any other material default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, unless such default is cured with thirty (30) days after written notice of such default is given to Property Manager, or, if not curable within thirty (30) days, commenced within such thirty (30) days and diligently prosecuted to completion.
Termination by the Company Without Cause The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time without Cause. Any termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for Cause under Section 3(c) and does not result from the death or disability of the Executive under Section 3(a) or (b) shall be deemed a termination without Cause.
Without Just Cause The Company may, by written notice to the Employee, immediately terminate his employment at any time, resulting in a Separation from Service, for a reason other than Just Cause, in which event the Employee shall be entitled to receive the following compensation and benefits (unless such Separation from Service occurs within the time period set forth in subsection 10(a) hereof, in which event the benefits and compensation provided for in Section 10 shall apply):
(i) One times the base salary provided pursuant to Section 2 hereof, as in effect on the date of Separation from Service;
(ii) An amount equal to the Bonuses received by or payable to the Employee in the calendar year prior to the calendar year of the Employee’s Separation from Service; and
(iii) Cash reimbursement to the Employee in an amount equal to the cost to the Employee (demonstrated by submission to the Company of invoices, bills, or other proof of payment by the Employee) of (A) all other Employee Benefits (all as defined in subsection 4(a) excluding Bonuses which will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plans or agreements) and (B) all Automobile Benefits (as defined in subsection 4(b)) and professional and club dues the Employee would otherwise have been eligible to participate in or receive, through the first anniversary of the Employee’s Separation from Service, based upon the benefit levels substantially equal to those provided for the Employee at the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service. The Employee shall also be entitled to receive an amount necessary to provide any cash payments received under this subsection 8(d)(ii) net of all income and payroll taxes that would not have been payable by the Employee had he continued participation in the benefit plan or program instead of receiving cash reimbursement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but only to the extent required under federal banking law, the amount payable under subsection 8(d) shall be reduced to the extent that on the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, the present value of the benefits payable under subsection 8(d) exceeds any limitation on severance benefits that is imposed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) on such benefits. All amounts payable to the Employee under subsections 8(d)(i) and 8(d)(ii) shall be paid in one lump sum within ten days of such Separation from Service. All amounts payable to the Employee under subsection 8(d)(iii) shall be paid on the first day of each month following the Employee’s Separation from Service, in an amount equal to the total reimbursable amount (demonstrated by invoices, bills or other proof of payment submitted by the Employee). Such amounts must be submitted for reimbursement no later than the earlier of: (i) six months after the date such amounts are paid by the Employee; or (ii) March 15th of the year following the year in which the Employee paid the amount.
Involuntary Termination Without Cause In the event of the Participant’s involuntary Termination by the Company without Cause, the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days from the date of such Termination, and (ii) the expiration of the stated term of the Option pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof.
