IRC Section 280G Sample Clauses

The IRC Section 280G clause addresses the tax treatment of so-called "golden parachute" payments made to executives in the event of a change in control, such as a merger or acquisition. Specifically, it limits the deductibility of certain large severance or bonus payments by the company and imposes a 20% excise tax on the recipient if the payments exceed a specified threshold, typically three times the executive's base compensation. This clause is designed to discourage excessive payouts that could be seen as windfalls, ensuring that companies and executives are not incentivized to structure deals in a way that results in disproportionately large compensation packages upon a change in control.
IRC Section 280G. In no event shall the payment(s) described in this paragraph 5 exceed the amount permitted by Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 280G”).
IRC Section 280G. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, if any amount or benefit to be paid or provided by the Company or its affiliates to the Executive or the Executive’s benefit pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) would be an “excess parachute payment,” within the meaning of Section 280G of the IRC, but for this Section 16(k), then the Covered Payments shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary (but in no event less than zero) so that no portion of any Covered Payments, as so reduced, constitutes an excess parachute payment, but only if and to the extent that such reduction will also result in, after taking into account all state, local and federal taxes applicable to the Executive (computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), including any taxes payable pursuant to Section 4999 of the IRC (and any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed under any successor provision or by any taxing authority), greater after-tax proceeds to the Executive than the after-tax proceeds to the Executive computed without regard to any such reduction. The determination of whether any reduction in such Covered Payments is required pursuant to this Section 16(k) shall be made by a firm of independent certified public accountants or a law firm selected by the Company. In the event that any Covered Payment is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section 16(k), the Executive shall be entitled to designate the payments and/or benefits to be so reduced in order to give effect to this Section 16(k). The Company shall provide the Executive with all information reasonably requested by the Executive to permit the Executive to make such designation. In the event that the Executive fails to make such designation within ten (10) business days of the date on which he is notified of the determination that a reduction in Covered Payments is required under this Section 16(k), the Company may affect such reduction in any manner it deems appropriate.
IRC Section 280G. (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the payment of any compensation or benefits payable under Section 5(e) hereof, the Certified Public Accountants (as defined herein) shall determine whether any payment, benefit or distribution by Employer to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any other plans or agreements or otherwise) (“Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed on Executive by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any corresponding provisions of state or local excise tax law, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), and, if it would be, then Employer shall pay or provide to Executive the greatest of the following, whichever gives Executive the highest net after-tax amount (after taking into account federal, state, local and payroll taxes at Executive’s actual marginal rates and the Excise Tax): (1) all of the Payments or (2) Payments not in excess of the greatest amount of Payments that can be paid that would not result in the imposition of the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Safe Harbor Amount”). Payments shall be made as follows: (A) if none of the Payments constitute nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), then such reduction and/or repayment shall occur in the manner the Executive elects in writing prior to the date of Payment; or (B) if any Payment constitutes non-qualified deferred compensation or if the Executive fails to elect an order in the event that none of the Payments constitutes non-qualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), then the Payments to be reduced will be determined in a manner which maximizes the Executive’s economic position and, to the extent the economic cost is equivalent between one or more Payments, such Payments will be reduced in the inverse order of when payment would have been made to the Executive, until the aggregate Payments payable to the Executive equal the Safe Harbor Amount (the “Reduced Amount”). Employer and Executive will furnish to the Certified Public Accountant such information and documents the Certified Public Accountant may reasonably request in order to ...
IRC Section 280G. In no event shall the payment(s) described in this paragraph 5 exceed the amount permitted by Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Section 280G). Therefore, if the aggregate present value (determined as of the date of the change of control in accordance with the provisions of Section 280G) of both the severance payment and all other payments to Executive in the nature of compensation which are contingent on a change in ownership or effective control of Bank or PMB or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Bank (the Aggregate Severance) would result in a parachute payment, as defined under Section 280G, then the Aggregate Severance shall not be greater than an amount equal to 2.99 multiplied by Executive’s base amount for the base period, as those terms are defined under Section 280G. In the event the Aggregate Severance is required to be reduced pursuant to this subparagraph 5(h), the last payments in time shall be reduced first.
IRC Section 280G. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1.7(n), none of AB or any AB Subsidiary have made any payments, are obligated to make any payments or are a party to any agreement that could obligate AB or any AB Subsidiary to make any payments that are not deductible under IRC Section 280G.
IRC Section 280G. If the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 2 hereof, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the Employers, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, the benefits or payments payable by the Bank pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof then followed by the cash payments payable by the Bank pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof shall be reduced, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits payable by the Bank under Section 2 being non-deductible to the Bank pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject the Executive to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. The determination of any reduction in the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to Section 2 shall be based upon the opinion of independent counsel selected by the Employersindependent public accountants and paid by the Employers. Such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Employers and the Executive; shall promptly prepare the foregoing opinion, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the Date of Termination; and may use such actuaries as such counsel deems necessary or advisable for the purpose. Nothing contained herein shall result in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which the Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment under any circumstances other than as specified in this Section 3, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified in Section 2 below zero.
