Related to Severance and Related Termination Benefits
Severance and Change in Control Benefits The Committee has designated you a participant in the Company’s Executive Change in Control and Severance Plan (the “Policy”), attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement. As a participant in the Policy, you will be eligible to receive severance payments and benefits upon certain qualifying terminations of your Employment as set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement (the “Participation Terms”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Policy. By signing this Agreement, you agree that this Agreement, the Policy, and the Participation Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the subject matter of this paragraph and supersede in their entirety all prior representations, understandings, undertakings or agreements (whether oral or written and whether expressed or implied), and specifically supersede any severance and/or change of control provisions of any offer letter, employment agreement, or equity award agreement entered into between you and the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, all other terms of any equity awards granted to you by the Company will remain in effect.
Post-Termination Benefits If the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control and during the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Executive's normal post-termination compensation and benefits as such payments become due. Such post-termination compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Company's retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.
Termination Benefits (a) If Executive’s employment is voluntarily (in accordance with Section 2(a) of this Agreement) or involuntarily terminated within two (2) years of a Change in Control, Executive shall receive:
Severance Compensation upon Termination Subject to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, in the event of the Employee’s Termination upon a Change of Control, the Company shall pay to the Employee, within fifteen (15) days after the Termination Date (or as soon as possible thereafter in the event that the procedures set forth in paragraph (b) of Section 11 hereof cannot be completed within fifteen (15) days) an amount in cash equal to three (3) times the sum of the Employee’s Base Salary in effect either immediately prior to the Separation from Service or immediately prior to the Change of Control, whichever is higher.
Severance Compensation upon Termination of Employment If the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than pursuant to Section 5(a), (b) or (c) or if the Executive shall terminate his employment for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay to the Executive as severance pay in a lump sum, in cash, on the fifth day following the Date of Termination, an amount equal to three (3) times the average of the aggregate annual compensation paid to the Executive during the three (3) fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the Change of Control by the Company subject to United States income taxes (or, such fewer number of fiscal years if the Executive has not been employed by the Company during each of the preceding three (3) fiscal years).
Termination of Employment with Severance Benefits (a) The Executive shall be entitled to the severance benefits described in section 9(b) in the event that:
Other Termination Benefits In addition to any amounts or benefits payable upon a Termination of Employment hereunder, Executive shall, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, be entitled to any payments or benefits provided under the terms of any plan, policy or program of the Company in which Executive participates or as otherwise required by applicable law.
Separation Benefits If this Agreement is terminated either by the Company without Cause in accordance with Section 6(c) (including the Company’s non-renewal of this Agreement) or by Employee resigning his employment for Good Reason in accordance with Section 6(d), the Company shall have no further obligation to Employee under this Agreement, except the Company shall provide the Accrued Obligations to Employee in accordance with Section 7(a) plus the following payments and benefits (collectively, the “Separation Benefits”) to Employee: (i) an amount equal to one times the sum of the Base Salary in effect immediately before the Termination Date plus the Annual Bonus received by Employee for the fiscal year preceding the Termination Date (or if Employee was employed for less than one full fiscal year prior to the Termination Date, the Annual Bonus for purposes of this Section 7 shall be the Annual Bonus payable during the current fiscal year at the target amount provided above) (together, the “Separation Pay”); and (ii) during the six-month period commencing on the Termination Date that Employee is eligible to elect and elects to continue coverage for himself and his eligible dependents under the Company’s group heath insurance plan pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), or similar state law, the Company shall reimburse Employee on a monthly basis for the difference between the amount Employee pays to effect and continue such coverage under COBRA and the employee contribution amount that active employees of the Company pay for the same or similar coverage; provided, however, that Employee shall notify the Company in writing within five days after he becomes eligible after the Termination Date for group health insurance coverage, if any, through subsequent employment or otherwise and the Company shall have no further reimbursement obligation after Employee becomes eligible for group health insurance coverage due to subsequent employment or otherwise. The Separation Pay shall be paid to Employee in a lump sum within 60 days of the Termination Date; provided, however, that no Separation Pay shall be paid to Employee unless the Company receives, on or within 55 days after the Termination Date, an executed and fully effective copy of the Release (as defined below). Any COBRA reimbursements due under this Section shall be made by the last day of the month following the month in which the applicable premiums were paid by Employee. For the avoidance of doubt, Employee shall not be entitled to the Separation Benefits if this Agreement is terminated (i) due to Employee’s death; (ii) by the Company due to Employee’s Inability to Perform; (iii) by the Company for Cause; (iv) by Employee without Good Reason; or (v) by non-renewal by Employee in accordance with Sections 4(b) and 6(f).
Termination of Employment and Severance Benefits The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate under the following circumstances:
Severance Benefits To the extent that Employee shall be entitled to receive Severance Benefits pursuant to Section 4(d) or 4(e) hereof, Company and Employee agree that the following shall apply: (i) "Severance Benefits" shall mean: (A) a continuation of Employee's then effective salary as payable pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof during the Severance Period (as defined below); (B) payment of any bonus payable to Employee pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof, calculated based on the full Company bonus payable thereunder (subject to attainment by Company of any objective financial or performance standards applicable to Company) and prorated for any period during the Severance Period that is less than the full twelve (12) month period in which such bonus would be earned; (C) immediate vesting and payment of any Option Payments; and (D) continuation during the Severance Period of any medical/dental care coverage (or the reasonable equivalent thereof) which Employee is receiving as of the date of termination of the Period of Employment, provided that such insurance coverage shall terminate prior to the expiration of the Severance Period as of the first date that Employee is covered under another employer's health benefit program which provides substantially the same level of benefits without exclusion for pre-existing medical conditions. Such coverage shall be in lieu of any other continued health care coverage to which Employee or his dependents would otherwise be entitled in accordance with the requirements of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"), by reason of Employee's termination of employment. (ii) "Severance Period" shall mean a period of twenty-four (24) months following the termination of the Period of Employment pursuant to Section 4(d) or 4(e) hereof. (iii) Company shall be entitled to a credit for any amounts paid pursuant to Part One, Paragraph 1 of the Change of Control Agreement for any amounts payable pursuant to Paragraph (i)(A) and (i)(B) above as part of any Severance Benefits payable hereunder. (iv) Except as provided in Section 6 below, the Severance Benefits shall be received by Employee in lieu of any other right Employee may have under applicable law, Company or Parent policies or plans or otherwise with respect to any payments or compensation in connection with the termination of Employee's employment with Company. (v) Employee agrees that payment of the Severance Benefits may, in the discretion of the Company, be subject to the prior execution by the Employee of a release of claims in a form provided by the Company prior to any such payment and that payment of the Severance Benefits shall be consideration for such release.
