Code Section 409A Compliance. (a) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable guidance thereunder (“Code Section 409A”) or comply with an exemption from the application of Code Section 409A and, accordingly, all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A.
Code Section 409A Compliance. Each payment under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amount or benefit upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”) and, for purposes of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A) on the date of the Executive’s separation from service, then any payments or benefits that otherwise would be payable under this Agreement within the first six months following the Executive’s separation from service (the “409A Suspension Period”), shall instead be paid in a lump sum within fourteen (14) days after the end of the sixth month period following the Executive’s separation from service, or Executive’s death, if sooner, but only to the extent that such payments or benefits provide for the “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, after application of the exemptions provided in Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(ii)-(v) thereof. After the 409A Suspension Period, the Executive will receive any remaining payments and benefits due pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with its terms (as if there had not been any suspension beforehand). To the extent that severance payments or benefits under this Agreement are conditioned on the execution of a release by Executive, Executive shall forfeit all rights to such payments and benefits unless such release is signed and delivered to the Company within the time required by this Agreement. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specified a payment period with respect to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company. The Company will cooperate with the Executive in making any amendments to this Agreement that the Executive reasonably requests to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code provided that such changes do not provide the Executive with additional benefits (other than de minimus benefits) under this Agreement.
Code Section 409A Compliance. (a) This Agreement is intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, and, to the extent practicable, 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 Section 409A of the Code and applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. Terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings given such terms under Section 409A of the Code if, and to the extent required, in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
Code Section 409A Compliance. To the extent amounts or benefits that become payable under this Agreement on account of Executive’s termination of employment (other than by reason of Executive’s death) constitute a distribution under a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Code Section 409A (“Deferred Compensation”), Executive’s termination of employment shall be deemed to occur on the date that Executive incurs a “separation from Service” with Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). If at the time of Executive’s separation from service, Executive is a “specified Executive” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)), the payment of such Deferred Compensation shall commence on the first business day of the seventh month following Executive’s separation from Service and Company shall then pay Executive, without interest, all such Deferred Compensation that would have otherwise been paid under this Agreement during the first six months following Executive’s separation from service had Executive not been a specified Executive. Thereafter, Company shall pay Executive any remaining unpaid Deferred Compensation in accordance with this Agreement as if there had not been a six-month delay imposed by this paragraph. If any expense reimbursement by Executive under this Agreement is determined to be Deferred Compensation, then the reimbursement shall be made to Executive as soon as practicable after submission for the reimbursement, but no later than December 31 of the year following the year during which such expense was incurred. Any reimbursement amount provided in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in another year and the right to such reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. In addition, if any provision of this Agreement would subject Executive to any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A, then Company shall reform such provision; provided that Company shall (x) maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without subjecting Executive to such additional tax or interest and (y) not incur any additional compensation expense as a result of such reformation.
Code Section 409A Compliance. If any provision of this Agreement would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code and related regulations and Treasury pronouncements (“Section 409A”), that provision will be reformed to avoid imposition of the additional tax and no action taken to comply with Section 409A shall be deemed to impair a benefit under this Agreement.
Code Section 409A Compliance. The Restricted Stock Units are intended to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrator determines that any portion of the Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and fails to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan or in this Agreement, the Administrator reserves the right to amend, restructure, terminate or replace such portion of the Restricted Stock Units in order to cause such portion of the Restricted Stock Units to either not be subject to Code Section 409A or to comply with the applicable provisions of such section.
Code Section 409A Compliance a) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Code Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the parties hereto of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on the Executive by Code Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A.
Code Section 409A Compliance. Where Section (6) refers to Employee’s termination of employment for purposes of receiving any payment, whether such a termination has occurred will be determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (or any successor provisions). Where the Employment Agreement requires the following payments to be made to Employee, the following rules shall apply, and any inconsistent provision is superseded: To the extent that this Employment Agreement requires that a payment shall be made upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after an event (e.g., termination of employment), such payment shall be made no later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such event (or, if earlier, within two-and-a-half (2 1/2) months following the end of the Employee’s taxable year in which such event occurs). Employee may not designate the year of such payment. To the extent that benefits under Section (6) are contingent upon Employee providing a General Release, Employee shall sign and return the General Release within the reasonable time period designated by the Corporation, which shall be no less than twenty-one (21) days but no more than forty-five (45) days. If such designated time period for review and revocation of the General Release crosses calendar years, payments for the period for review and return of the Release shall be made in the later calendar year. Any payments that would otherwise be made during the period for review and revocation of the General Release will be made on the first scheduled payment date after such period ends. To the extent that the Employment Agreement provides for the reimbursement of specified expenses incurred by Employee, such reimbursement shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Employment Agreement, but in no event later than the last day of Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided by the Corporation in any taxable year of Employee shall not affect the amount of expenses or in-kind benefits to be reimbursed or provided in any other year (except in the case of maximum benefits to be provided under a medical reimbursement arrangement, if applicable). Bonus otherwise payable under the Employment Agreement after the end of a bonus plan performance period shall be paid within two-and-a-half (2 1/2) months after the end of the fiscal year of ...
