Voluntary Termination by Employee Subject to Section 12 hereof, the Employee may voluntarily terminate employment with the Bank during the term of this Agreement, upon at least 90 days' prior written notice to the Board of Directors, in which case the Employee shall receive only his compensation, vested rights and employee benefits up to the date of his termination (unless such termination occurs pursuant to Section 10(d) hereof or within the Protected Period, in Section 12(a) hereof, in which event the benefits and compensation provided for in Sections 10(d) or 12, as applicable, shall apply).
Voluntary Termination by Executive The Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment for any reason and such termination shall take effect 30 days after the receipt by Company of the Notice of Termination. Upon the effective date of such termination, Executive shall be entitled to (a) accrued and unpaid Salary and vacation through such termination date; and (b) all other compensation and benefits that were vested through such termination date. In the event Executive is terminated without notice, it shall be deemed a termination by the Company for Cause.
Termination by Employee In the event Employee terminates this Agreement, the Company shall be obligated to pay Employee that pro-rata portion of his current semi-monthly Base Salary payment, as adjusted for any increase thereto, which is earned but unpaid as of the Termination Date, any earned but unpaid incentive compensation, any accrued but unpaid paid time off (“PTO”) due to him through the Termination Date and any unreimbursed expenses. Employee will not be entitled to, nor will he receive, any type of severance payment, unless he has Good Reason, as defined below, to terminate this Agreement. If Employee has Good Reason then he shall receive the severance outlined in subsection (B)(ii)(b) below addressing Termination by the Company without Cause, subject to its requirements for receipt of such payment. If Employee terminates Employee’s employment pursuant to this subsection (B)(i), then the Company, at its option, may require Employee to cease providing services during the thirty (30) day notice period required therein; provided, however, for purposes of calculating payment upon termination under this Agreement, Employee shall be treated as if he was employed during such thirty (30) day period. “Good Reason” shall mean (1) a material involuntary reduction in Employee’s duties, authority, reporting responsibility or function by the Company, (2) a material reduction in Employee’s compensation package other than as mutually agreed, (3) Employee’s involuntary relocation to a principal place of work more than thirty (30) miles from Charlotte, North Carolina or (4) a material breach by the Company of its obligations hereunder, provided that, upon the occurrence of any of these acts or omissions, Employee gives the Company notice of his belief that he has Good Reason to terminate this Agreement and the Company fails to cure within thirty (30) business days of receipt of Employee’s notice.
Voluntary Termination by the Executive The Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment with the Company at any time prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement. Such termination shall constitute a voluntary termination and, in such event, the Executive shall be limited to the same rights and benefits as applicable to the termination for Cause, as described in Section 10(c) above.
Termination by Employer for Cause Employer may terminate Employee’s employment hereunder for “Cause” upon notice to Employee. “Cause” for this purpose shall mean any of the following:
Voluntary Termination by the Employee The Employee may voluntarily terminate the Employee's status as employee for other than Good Reason.
Termination by Employer (i) Employer may terminate this Agreement upon written notice for Cause. For purposes hereof, "Cause" shall mean (A) engaging by the Employee in conduct that constitutes activity in competition with Employer; (B) the conviction of Employee for the commission of a felony; and/or (C) the habitual abuse of alcohol or controlled substances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10(a)(i), Employer may not terminate Employee's employment under this Agreement for Cause unless Employee shall have first received notice from the Board advising Employee of the specific acts or omissions alleged to constitute Cause, and such acts or omissions continue after Employee shall have had a reasonable opportunity (at least 10 days from the date Employee receives the notice from the Board) to correct the acts or omissions so complained of. In no event shall alleged incompetence of Employee in the performance of Employee's duties be deemed grounds for termination for Cause.
Voluntary Termination Executive may voluntarily terminate Executive’s employment for any reason upon 30 days’ prior written notice. In such event, after the effective date of such termination, except as provided in Section 2.2 with respect to a resignation for Good Reason, no further payments shall be due under this Agreement, except that Executive shall be entitled to any benefits accrued in accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company.
Voluntary Termination by the Executive Without Good Reason If the Executive terminates employment without Good Reason, the Executive shall receive the Base Salary and expense reimbursement to which the Executive is entitled through the date on which termination becomes effective.
Termination by Employer Without Cause Employer may immediately terminate Employee’s employment without Cause. If, during the Term of this Agreement, Employee’s employment is terminated by Employer without Cause (other than due to death or Disability), including if Employer declines to renew the Term of the Agreement, then Employee shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Compensation. In addition, subject to Employee’s continuing compliance with the covenants contained in Paragraphs 7 and 8 of this Agreement and any other similar applicable restrictive covenants with Employer or an affiliate, and the execution by Employee of a binding general waiver and release of claims in a form acceptable to Employer (the “Release”) within the time period specified by Employer at the time of the Termination Date (which shall be no longer than 50 days after the Termination Date) and the expiration of any applicable revocation period with respect to the Release, if Employee’s employment terminates pursuant to this Paragraph 10.A(ii), then Employee shall be entitled to receive:
a. Payment of the Bonus, if any, that was earned by Employee in any fiscal year ending prior to the Termination Date but remains unpaid as of the Termination Date, payable in a lump sum within seventy (70) days after the Termination Date.
b. A pro-rated Bonus, if any, upon the satisfaction of any pre-established performance objectives at the end of the applicable bonus performance period; such payable pro-rata portion of the Bonus shall be determined by multiplying the Bonus amount by a fraction equal to the number of days of Employee’s employment during such applicable performance period divided by the total number of days in the applicable performance period. Payment of any pro-rated Bonus under this paragraph shall be made in the calendar year following the year in which the services were performed, when bonuses are generally paid to similarly situated employees.
c. An amount equal to (y) thirty (30) months of the Employee’s then-current Annual Salary; plus (z) two and one-half (2.5) times the average of the Bonus payments for the immediately three (3) previous fiscal years from the Termination Date. This amount will be payable in thirty (30) substantially equal monthly installments commencing with the first regular payroll period following the expiration of any applicable revocation period with respect to the Release, and in any event, if at all, within seventy (70) days after the Termination Date.
d. Provided that Employee elects, and to the extent that he is and remains eligible for, continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) and Employer’s group health plan, payment of that part of the COBRA premiums for such continued coverage of Employee (and, if applicable as of the Termination Date, his dependents) that exceeds the amount that Employee would pay for such coverage if he were an active employee of Employer (“COBRA Subsidies”), starting on the first day following the date on which Employee’s coverage under that plan as an active employee of Employer ends, and ending on the earlier of (A) the date that twelve (12) months of such COBRA Subsidies have been paid, or (B) the date on which Employee’s right to continuation coverage under COBRA ends. Employee agrees and acknowledges that for so long as Employee is covered by COBRA and receiving severance payments under Paragraph 10(A)(ii)(c), the amount that Employee would pay for coverage under Employer’s group health plan if he were an active employee of Employer shall be deducted from such severance payments, and that this coverage under Employer’s group health plan shall run concurrently with such plan’s obligation to provide continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA. Employee further agrees and understands that this paragraph shall not limit such plan’s obligation to provide continuation coverage under COBRA.
