Qualifying Termination Sample Clauses

A Qualifying Termination clause defines the specific circumstances under which an employee’s termination is considered to meet certain criteria, often triggering special rights or benefits. Typically, this clause outlines what constitutes a qualifying event, such as termination without cause or resignation for good reason, and may detail the severance, accelerated vesting, or other compensation the employee is entitled to receive. Its core practical function is to provide clarity and predictability for both parties regarding entitlements upon certain types of employment termination, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring fair treatment.

Executive, however, shall not be considered to have voluntarily terminated his employment with the Company and its affiliated companies if, following, or within thirty (30) days prior to, the Change in Control, Executive’s base salary is reduced or adversely modified in any material respect, or Executive’s authority or duties are materially changed, and subsequent to such reduction, modification or change Executive elects to terminate his employment with the Company and its affiliated companies within sixty (60) days following such reduction, modification or change after having given the Company at least thirty (30) days notice of the same and a reasonable opportunity to cure during such 30-day notice period. For such purposes, Executive’s authority or duties shall conclusively be considered to have been “materially changed” if, without Executive’s express and voluntary written consent, there is any substantial diminution or adverse modification in Executive’s title, status, overall position, responsibilities, reporting relationship, general working environment (including without limitation secretarial and staff support, offices, and frequency and mode of travel), or if, without Executive’s express and voluntary written consent, Executive’s job location is transferred to a site more than twenty-five (25) miles away from his place of employment thirty (30) days prior to the Change in Control. In this regard as well, Executive’s authority and duties shall conclusively be considered to have been “materially changed” if, without Executive’s express and voluntary written consent, Executive no longer holds the same title or no longer has the same authority and responsibilities or no longer has the same reporting responsibilities, in each case with respect and as to a publicly held parent company which is not controlled by another entity or person.

For such purposes, “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental incapacity as a result of which Executive becomes unable to continue the performance of his responsibilities for the Company and its affiliated companies...
