Common use of Salary Continuation Clause in Contracts

Salary Continuation. Unless otherwise required under Section 1 (e) below, Teradyne shall pay Employee monthly an amount equal to 1/12th of Employee’s current annual Model Compensation as of the Termination Event for a period of 24 months following the date of the Termination Event (the “Salary Continuation Period”). In the event a Termination Event constitutes termination for Good Reason on account of a material reduction in Model Compensation, the payment obligation pursuant to this Section 1(d) shall be calculated without giving effect to any such reductions in Model Compensation. All such continued payments shall be made in accordance with Teradyne’s customary pay practices. Subject to Section 1(e)(i) of this Agreement but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the continued payments to Employee contemplated by this Section 1(d) and any benefits provided to Employee that are subject to Section 409A of the Code shall commence on the 60th day following the Termination Event provided Employee has complied with the requirements of Section 1(g) of this Agreement and the release of claims has become irrevocable under applicable law no later than on the 60th day following his Termination Event.
