Termination by the Company without Cause or Resignation by Executive for Good Reason (Other Than Change in Control). The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause. Should the Company elect to allow this Agreement to expire at the end of the Term without attempting to renegotiate its terms, the expiration of this Agreement shall be a termination without Cause for purposes of the Executive’s eligibility for the benefits described in this Section 5.4. In the event Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause, but not in the event of a termination due to Death or Disability under Section 5.1, or Executive resigns for Good Reason (other than in connection with a Change in Control (as defined below)), and upon compliance with Section 5.5 below, Executive shall be eligible to receive the following “Severance Benefits:” (i) continuation of Executive’s base salary, then in effect, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, paid on the same basis and at the same time as previously paid; and (ii) the Company shall pay the premiums of Executive’s group health insurance COBRA continuation coverage, including coverage for Executive’s eligible dependents, for a maximum period of twelve (12) months following a termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason; provided, however, that (a) the Company shall pay premiums for Executive’s eligible dependents only for coverage for which those eligible dependents were enrolled immediately prior to the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason and (b) the Company’s obligation to pay such premiums shall cease immediately upon Executive’s eligibility for comparable group health insurance provided by a new employer of Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of providing the COBRA premiums, the Company will instead pay Executive, fully taxable cash payments equal to and paid at the same time as the COBRA premiums that otherwise would have been paid, subject to applicable tax withholdings. Vesting of any unvested stock options and/or other equity securities shall cease on the date of termination. To receive the payments under (i) and (ii) above, Executive’s termination or resignation must constitute a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and without regard to any alternate definition thereunder) (a “Separation from Service”) and Executive must execute and allow the Release to become effective within 60 days of Executive’s termination or resignation. Such payments shall not be paid prior to the 60th day following Executive’s termination or resignation, rather, subject to the aforementioned conditions, on the 60th day following Executive’s termination or resignation, the Company will pay Executive such payments in a lump sum that Executive would have received on or prior to such date under the original schedule, with the balance of such payments being paid as originally scheduled.
Termination by the Bank Without Cause The Bank shall have the right to terminate the Term at any time on written notice without Cause, for any or no reason, such termination to be effective on the date on which the Bank gives such notice to Executive or such later date as may be specified in such notice.
Termination by the Employer Without Cause Subject to the payment of Termination Benefits pursuant to Section 7(b), the Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated by the Employer without Cause upon no less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Executive.
Termination by the Purchaser This Agreement may be terminated by the Purchaser at any time prior to the Effective Time if:
Termination by the Bank for Cause The Bank may terminate the employment of Executive hereunder for Cause (as defined in Section 8(a)) at any time. At the time Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause, the Term will terminate, all obligations of the Bank and Executive under Sections 1 through 5 of this Agreement will immediately cease except for obligations which expressly continue after termination of employment by the Bank for Cause, and the Bank will pay Executive at the time specified in Section 7(g), and Executive will be entitled to receive, the following:
Resignation by the Executive Executive may voluntarily resign from his employment with the Company, provided that Executive shall provide the Company with thirty (30) days advance written notice (which notice requirement may be waived, in whole or in part, by the Company in its sole discretion) of his intent to resign. If Executive so terminates his employment with the Company, other than in accordance with Section 4.5, the Company shall have no obligation other than the payment of the Accrued Obligations to the effective date of such termination.
Termination by Parent This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time by Parent if:
Termination by the Executive The Executive may terminate employment hereunder at any time for any reason, including but not limited to, Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that the Executive has completed all steps of the Good Reason Process (hereinafter defined) following the occurrence of any of the following events without the Executive’s consent (each, a “Good Reason Condition”):
Resignation by the Executive for Good Reason The Executive shall have the right to terminate his employment for Good Reason by written notice to the Company specifying the particulars of the circumstances forming the basis for such Good Reason.
Termination by the Executive Without Good Reason The Executive may terminate his employment on his own initiative for any reason upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company; provided, however, that during such notice period, the Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company (at no cost to the Executive) in minimizing the effects of such termination on the Company Group. Such termination shall have the same consequences as a termination for Cause under Section 6.2.
