Examples of Covered Period in a sentence
The Committee may terminate the participation of any Participant at any time, but the Participant’s removal from the Plan will not be effective until the later of (a) twenty-four (24) months after the Participant receives notice of his or her termination of participation by Bank or (b) the end of any Covered Period for the Participant that commenced prior to Participant receiving notice of his or her termination of participation by Bank.
Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and administration of the Plan during a Covered Period will be subject to de novo review without any presumption of correctness.
If a Participant experiences a Qualifying Termination during a Covered Period, the Participant will not be paid any amount, or receive any benefit, under or pursuant to any other plan or program calling for severance benefits, including special severance benefits related to a Change in Control, unless specifically agreed to in writing between the Participant and the Bank or its affiliates.
A Participant will cease to participate in the Plan and, therefore, shall cease to be eligible to receive severance benefits under the Plan, on the date on which the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Bank and its affiliates other than by a Qualifying Termination during a Covered Period.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Bank shall not be obligated to make any payment under this Plan to any individual outside of a Qualifying Termination during a Covered Period, which relates to a Change in Control of the Bank or the Company.
