Severance Amount If the Company is required to pay Executive severance by the express terms of Section 7(a) or 7(b), the Company shall pay Executive the following as severance:
Cash Severance Payment Provided that Executive complies with Section 5 below, Executive shall receive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to fifteen (15) months of Executive’s the effective base salary (less applicable withholding), paid within ten (10) business days of the effective date of the Termination Upon a Change of Control.
Cash Severance Benefits Severance equal to the amount set forth in the Participant’s Participation Agreement and payable in cash in a lump sum in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan, including without limitation Section 7 hereof.
Severance Payment Executive will be paid continuing payments of severance pay at a rate equal to Executive’s base salary rate, as then in effect, for twelve (12) months from the date of such termination of employment, to be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies.
Change in Control Severance Benefits If there is a Change in Control, and within one (1) year of such Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated under the circumstances described in Sections 4(a) through 4(f) above, the Executive shall be entitled to the following: (I) if such termination is a termination by the Company without Cause pursuant to Section 4(a) or the Executive resigns for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4(b), the Company shall pay the Executive the Accrued Obligations and, in addition, subject to the provisions of Section 19, (A) an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months of the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination or resignation, payable in a lump sum within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of termination or resignation; and (B) provided the Executive timely elects continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company shall also pay, on the Executive’s behalf, the portion of monthly premiums for the Executive’s group health insurance, including coverage for the Executive’s dependents, that the Company paid immediately prior to the date of termination or resignation, during the eighteen (18) month period following the date of termination or resignation, subject to the Executive’s continued eligibility for COBRA coverage. The Company will pay for such COBRA coverage for eligible dependents only for those dependents who were enrolled immediately prior to the date of termination or resignation. The Executive will continue to be required to pay that portion of the premium for the Executive’s health coverage, including coverage for the Executive’s eligible dependents, that the Executive was required to pay as an active employee immediately prior to the date of termination or resignation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that under applicable guidance the reimbursement of COBRA premiums causes the Company’s group health plan to violate any applicable nondiscrimination rule, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a mutually agreeable alternative arrangement; and (II) if such termination is a termination or resignation under the circumstances described in Sections 4(c), 4(d), 4(e) or 4(f), the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits for which the Executive is eligible under such sections.
Change of Control Severance Benefits A Covered Termination of Executive’s employment on or within twelve (12) months following the effective date of a Change of Control entitles Executive to receive the benefits set forth in this Section 3.2.
Lump Sum Severance Payment Payment of a lump sum amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s then-current Base Salary plus the Pro Rated Bonus, less all customary and required taxes and employment-related deductions, paid on the first payroll date following the date on which the Release required by Paragraph 4(g) becomes effective and non-revocable, but not after seventy (70) days following the effective date of termination from employment.
Severance Payments 6.1 If the Executive's employment is terminated following a Change in Control and during the Term, other than (A) by the Company for Cause, (B) by reason of death or Disability, or (C) by the Executive without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay the Executive the amounts, and provide the Executive the benefits, described in this Section 6.1 ("Severance Payments") and Section 6.2, in addition to any payments and benefits to which the Executive is entitled under Section 5 hereof; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be entitled to the Severance Payments unless and until the Executive (or, in the event of the Executive's death, the executor, personal representative or administrator of the Executive's estate) has signed a written waiver and release substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit A hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated following a Change in Control by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason, if (i) during the Term the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause following a Potential Change in Control but prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and such termination was at the request or direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control, (ii) during the Term the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason following a Potential Change in Control but prior to a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs) and the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the request or direction of such Person or (iii) during the Term the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason and such termination or the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control (whether or not a Change in Control ever occurs). An Executive will not be considered to have been terminated by reason of the divestiture of a facility, sale or other disposition of a business or business unit, or the outsourcing of a business activity with which the Executive is affiliated, notwithstanding the fact that such divestiture, sale or outsourcing takes place within two years following a Change in Control, if the Executive is offered comparable employment by the successor company and such successor company agrees to assume the Company's obligations to the Executive under this Agreement.
Compensation Other Than Severance Payments 5.1 Following a Change in Control and during the Term, during any period that the Executive fails to perform the Executive's full-time duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Company shall pay the Executive's full salary to the Executive at the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of any compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by the Company during such period (other than any disability plan), until the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Disability.
Additional Severance Benefits In the event that it is determined that any payment or benefit provided by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive, either under this Agreement or otherwise, will be subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor provision ("section 4999"), the Company will, prior to the date on which any amount of the excise tax must be paid or withheld, make an additional lump-sum payment (the "gross-up payment") to Executive. The gross-up payment will be sufficient, after giving effect to all federal, state and other taxes and charges with respect to the gross-up payment, to make Executive whole for all taxes (including withholding taxes) imposed under section 4999. Determinations under this Section 2 will be made by the Company's then current firm of independent auditors (the "Firm"). The determinations of the Firm will be binding upon the Company and Executive except as the determinations are established in resolution (including by settlement) of a controversy with the Internal Revenue Service to have been incorrect. All fees and expenses of the Firm will be paid by the Company. If the Internal Revenue Service asserts a claim that, if successful, would require the Company to make a gross-up payment or an additional gross-up payment, the Company and Executive will cooperate fully in resolving the controversy with the Internal Revenue Service. The Company will make or advance such gross-up payments as are necessary to prevent Executive from having to bear the cost of payments made to the Internal Revenue Service in the course of, or as a result of, the controversy. The Firm will determine the amount of such gross-up payments or advances and will determine after resolution of the controversy whether any advances must be returned by Executive to the Company. The Company will bear all expenses of the controversy and will gross Executive up for any additional taxes that may be imposed upon Executive as a result of its payment of such expenses.
