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.
Change in Control Benefits Agreement shall mean any separate agreement between Participant and the Corporation which provides Participant with special vesting acceleration and/or other special benefits with respect to one or more awards of restricted stock units made to Participant for shares of Common Stock, including (to the extent applicable) the restricted stock units evidenced by this Agreement, in the event of a change in control or ownership of the Corporation (whether or not constituting a Change in Control hereunder).
Change of Control Severance Benefits A Covered Termination of Executive’s employment on or within twelve (12) months following the effective date of a Change of Control entitles Executive to receive the benefits set forth in this Section 3.2.
Change in Control Severance Benefits If there is a Change in Control, and within one (1) year of such Change in Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated under the circumstances described in Sections 4(a) through 4(f) above, the Executive shall be entitled to the following: (I) if such termination is a termination by the Company without Cause pursuant to Section 4(a) or the Executive resigns for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4(b), the Company shall pay the Executive the Accrued Obligations and, in addition, subject to the provisions of Section 19, (A) an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months of the Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination or resignation, payable in a lump sum within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of termination or resignation; and (B) provided the Executive timely elects continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company shall also pay, on the Executive’s behalf, the portion of monthly premiums for the Executive’s group health insurance, including coverage for the Executive’s dependents, that the Company paid immediately prior to the date of termination or resignation, during the eighteen (18) month period following the date of termination or resignation, subject to the Executive’s continued eligibility for COBRA coverage. The Company will pay for such COBRA coverage for eligible dependents only for those dependents who were enrolled immediately prior to the date of termination or resignation. The Executive will continue to be required to pay that portion of the premium for the Executive’s health coverage, including coverage for the Executive’s eligible dependents, that the Executive was required to pay as an active employee immediately prior to the date of termination or resignation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that under applicable guidance the reimbursement of COBRA premiums causes the Company’s group health plan to violate any applicable nondiscrimination rule, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith a mutually agreeable alternative arrangement; and (II) if such termination is a termination or resignation under the circumstances described in Sections 4(c), 4(d), 4(e) or 4(f), the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits for which the Executive is eligible under such sections.
Right to Severance Benefits The Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company Severance Benefits, as described in Section 4.3, if the Executive has incurred a Qualifying Termination. The Executive shall not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits if his employment terminates (regardless of the reason) before the Protected Period (as such term is defined in Section 4.2(c)) corresponding to a Change in Control of the Company or more than twenty-four (24) months after the date of a Change in Control of the Company.
Change of Control Benefits (i) If Executive's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated at any time within the two years following a Change of Control by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason (the effective date of either such termination hereafter referred to as the "Termination Date"), Executive shall be entitled to, and the Company shall be required to provide, subject to Executive's execution of a general release in favor of the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Release"), the payments and benefits provided hereafter in this Section 3 and as set forth in this Agreement. If Executive's employment by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries is terminated prior to a Change of Control by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries without Cause in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control, Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided hereafter in Sections 3 and 4 and as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, but only if an anticipated Change of Control actually occurs, and Executive's Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred immediately following the Change of Control. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event of any such termination, Executive shall continue to receive Executive's Base Salary at the annual rate in effect immediately prior to such termination (but not less than the annual rate in effect on the date of this Agreement) and any Bonus to which Executive would have been entitled had Executive remained employed until the date of the anticipated Change of Control, provided, however that such Base Salary and Bonus continuation shall end on the date of the anticipated Change of Control or the date that the agreement or other circumstance that would have resulted in the anticipated Change of Control terminates, whichever is applicable. Notice of termination without Cause or for Good Reason shall be given in accordance with Section 14, and shall indicate the specific termination provision hereunder relied upon, the relevant facts and circumstances and the Termination Date.
Change in Control Benefit If a Change in Control occurs followed within twenty-four (24) months by Separation from Service prior to Normal Retirement Age, the Bank shall distribute to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.4 in lieu of any other benefit under this Article.
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. (g)
Form and Timing of Severance Benefits The Severance Benefits described in Sections 3.3(a), 3.3(b), and 3.3(c) herein shall be paid in cash to the Executive in a single lump sum as soon as practicable following the Effective Date of Termination, but in no event beyond thirty (30) days after such date (with the actual payment date during such 30-day period to be determined by the Company in its discretion).
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.
