(i) |
the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent with the Executive’s status as an executive officer of the Company or a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of the Executive’s responsibilities from those in effect on the Effective Date other than any such alteration primarily attributable to the fact that the Company may no longer be a public company; |

公司业务承继方(无论是通过直接或间接收购、兼并、合并或其他方式)未能明示同意将按照承继发生前所要求的方式和程度继续承担履行本合同的义务。
A termination by the Executive shall not constitute termination for Good Reason unless the Executive shall first have delivered to the Company written notice setting forth with specificity the occurrence deemed to give rise to a right to terminate for Good Reason (which notice must be given no later than 90 days after the initial occurrence of such event), and there shall have passed a reasonable time (not less than 30 days) within which the Company may take action to correct, rescind or otherwise substantially reverse the occurrence supporting termination for Good Reason as identified by the Executive. The Executive’s termination for Good Reason must occur within a period of 160 days after the occurrence of an event of Good Reason. The Executive’s right to terminate employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. The Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder. Good Reason shall not include the Executive’s death. For purposes of this Agreement, the Spin-Off, and any changes to the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment in connection with the Spin-Off, shall not constitute a Good Reason Event.
签约人在向公司递交书面通知并明确告知公司其有权主张终止本合同的充足理由后方可正当解除本合同(该通知至迟应在事项发生后90日内发出), 公司在之后的合理期间内(不少于30日)可以采取措施纠正、撤销或实质改变签约人主张的充足理由。签约人在该充足理由出现之日起160日后方有权解除本合同。签约人以充足理由解除本合同的权利不因签约人身体或心理疾病而受影响。签约人持续劳动关系不应视为其对本合同项下任何作为或不作为构成充足理由的允许或放弃。就本合同而言, 分拆, 以及与分拆相关的签约人劳动合同中条款与条件的任何变更, 均不构成充足理由事件。

The failure by the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Cause shall not waive any right of the Company hereunder or preclude the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Company’s rights hereunder. |

U.S. Tax Code Section 409A. This Section 21 shall apply only in the event that the Executive is or becomes a taxpayer under the laws of the United States at any time during the Employment Period. |
美国税法第409A条. 本第21条仅在签约人属于或在工作期限内的任意时间内成为美国法律下的纳税人时适用。
|
(a) |
General. This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from or compliant with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company nor its directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by the Executive as a result of the application of Section 409A of the Code. |
总则. 本合同应以本合同项下任何款项或福利应按照美国1986年内陆税务法案第409A条, 以及根据美国内陆税务总署和美国财政部据此发布的指导或规定(“美国税法”), 豁免或者符合其要求的方式支付或提供的方式进行解释。但是, 本合同所提供福利的税收待遇属于无保证或担保的。公司和气董事、官员、雇员或顾问均不对任何税费、利息、罚息或其他签约人由于美国税法第409A条所应缴纳的款项负责。
|
(b) |
Definitional Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation”) would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder, or a different form of payment of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would be effected, by reason of a Change in Control or the Executive’s termination of employment, such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation will not be payable or distributable to the Executive, and/or such different form of payment will not be effected, by reason of such circumstance unless the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control or termination of employment, as the case may be, meet any description or definition of “change in control event” or “separation from service,” as the case may be, in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition). This provision does not prohibit the vesting of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation upon a Change in Control or termination of employment, however defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, such payment or distribution shall be made on the date, if any, on which an event occurs that constitutes a Section 409A-compliant “change in control event” or “separation from service,” as the case may |
- 17 -
|
be, or such later date as may be required by subsection (c) below. If this provision prevents the application of a different form of payment of any amount or benefit, such payment shall be made in the same form as would have applied absent such designated event or circumstance. |
定义限制. 除非本合同另有约定, 对于任何款项或福利可以构成美国税法第409A条规定的不合格的“延期补偿”(“不合格延期补偿”), 在控制权变更或签约人终止工作的情况下, 应根据本合同支付或分配, 或者不合格延期补偿款项的另一种形式将生效; 不合格延期补偿不得向签约人支付或者分配, 和/或不合格延期补偿的款项不得变更为另一种形式, 在此情况下不构成不合格延期补偿, 除非此类情况导致控制权变更或者签约人终止工作(视情况而定), 致使出现税法第409A条和适用法规(除了该定义中可能适用的选择性条款以外)所规定的“控制权变更情形”或“离开职位”(视情况而定)。无论如何, 本条款不禁止由控制权变更或终止工作导致的不合格延期补偿的适用。如果本条款对任何不合格延期补偿的支付或分配形成阻碍, 则该付款或分配应在构成第409A条规定的“控制权变更情形”或“离开职位”(视情况而定)时间产生之日, 或者不晚于本条下列第(c)项约定的时间完成。如果本条款对任何金额或福利以另一种形式支付形成阻碍的, 则该付款应以该指定情况或情形不存在的状态下以同样方式完成。
|
(c) |
Six-Month Delay in Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Agreement by reason of the Executive’s separation from service during a period in which he is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Company under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A‑3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes), (i) the amount of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following the Executive’s separation from service will be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first day of the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service (or, if the Executive dies during such period, within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s death) (in either case, the “Required Delay Period”); and (ii) the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume at the end of the Required Delay Period. |
特定情况下的六个月延期. 除非本合同另有约定, 若本合同项下的任何款项或福利由于签约人在属于“特殊工作”(定义见美国税法第409A条和该法案的最终规定)期间离开职位导致不合格延期补偿需要支付或者分配, 那么根据公司依照美国财政部规定第1.409A 3(j)(4)(ii)(国内关系法令), (j)(4)(iii)(利益冲突), 或(j)(4)(vi)(工作税收支付)指定的任何可接接
- 18 -
受的加速付款, (i) 该款项应当在签约人离开职位后六个月内支付的不合格延期补偿金额应当在其离职后累计并在第七个月的第一天完成支付或分配(或者, 若签约人在此期间内死亡的, 在其死亡后三十(30)天内完成)(无论哪种情况, 均称为“要求延迟期间”); 并且(ii) 任何剩余款项或福利的正常支付或分配计划将在要求延期吃钱届满后继续进行。
|
(d) |
Treatment of Installment Payments. Each payment of termination benefits under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment, as described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A‑2(b)(2), for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. |
分期付款待遇. 为符合美国税法第409A条, 本合同项下的每笔终止福利应视为单独的付款, 依据美国财政部第1.409A‑2(b)(2)条进行。
|
(e) |
Timing of Release of Claims. Whenever in this Agreement a payment or benefit is conditioned on the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, such as the separation agreement referenced in Section 11(a) hereof, such release must be executed and all revocation periods shall have expired within 60 days after the Date of Termination; failing which such payment or benefit shall be forfeited. If such payment or benefit constitutes Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, then, subject to subsection (c) above, such payment or benefit (including any installment payments) that would have otherwise been payable during such 60-day period shall be accumulated and paid on the 60th day after the Date of Termination provided such release shall have been executed and such revocation periods shall have expired. If such payment or benefit is exempt from Section 409A of the Code, the Company may elect to make or commence payment at any time during such 60-day period. |
发出请求的时间. 本合同项下的款项或福利均签约人基于执行和不可撤销地发出请求生效, 据此应参见本合同第11(a)条提及的另行签署协议, 该弃权应当得到执行并且所有撤销其应在终止日后60日内届满; 逾期者应视为签约人放弃该款项或福利。如果该款项或福利构成不合格延期补偿的, 那么根据本条前述第(c)项, 该本应在60日内支付的款项或福利(包括任何分期款项)应累计并在终止日后第60天支付, 若该申请已经得到执行且不可撤销期间已经届满。若该付款或福利不属于税法第409A条的范围, 则公司可以在该60日的期间内任意选择行使或开始支付的时间。
- 19 -
|
(f) |
Timing of Reimbursements and In-kind Benefits. If the Executive is entitled to be paid or reimbursed for any taxable expenses under this Agreement and if such payments or reimbursements are includible in the Executive’s federal gross taxable income, the amount of such expenses payable or reimbursable in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount payable or reimbursable in any other calendar year, and the reimbursement of an eligible expense must be made no later than December 31 of the year after the year in which the expense was incurred. The right to any reimbursement for expenses incurred or provision of in-kind benefits is limited to the lifetime of the Executive, or such shorter period of time as is provided with respect to each particular right to reimbursement in-kind benefits pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Agreement. No right of the Executive to reimbursement of expenses under this Agreement shall be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. |
报销和非现金福利的时间. 如果签约人有权根据本合同就任何应税费用进行核销或报销, 并且该核销或报销费用包含在签约人应税总收入中的, 则任何自然年度的此类核销或报销费用将不会对其他年度的核销或报销费用产生影响, 并且合规费用的报销应当在该费用产生的次年12月31日之前完成。签约人有权申请费用报销或者非现金福利的期限为终生, 除非本合同前述条款中对于各特定权利报销规定的期限更短。签约人在本合同项下的报销福利不因清算或者变更为其他权益而灭失。
