COBRA Benefits Executive and Executive’s qualified beneficiaries, as applicable, shall be entitled to continuation of group health coverage following the Termination Date under the Employer’s group health plan, to the extent required under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, with Executive required to pay the same amount as Executive would pay if Executive continued in employment with the Employer during such period as described in Section 4(e) of the Employment Agreement.
COBRA Severance As an additional Severance Benefit, the Company will continue to pay the cost of your health care coverage in effect at the time of your Separation from Service for a maximum of twelve (12) months, either under the Company’s regular health plan (if permitted), or by paying your COBRA premiums (the “COBRA Severance”). The Company’s obligation to pay the COBRA Severance on your behalf will cease if you obtain health care coverage from another source (e.g., a new employer or spouse’s benefit plan), unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law. You must notify the Company within two (2) weeks if you obtain coverage from a new source. This payment of COBRA Severance by the Company would not expand or extend the maximum period of COBRA coverage to which you would otherwise be entitled under applicable law. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing COBRA Severance without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to you a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that you would be required to pay to continue your group health coverage in effect on the date of your termination (which amount shall be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments shall be made on the last day of each month regardless of whether you elect COBRA continuation coverage and shall end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which you obtain other coverage or (y) the last day of the twelfth (12th) calendar month following your Separation from Service date.
COBRA Payments If the Executive is participating in the Company’s group health insurance plans on the date of the Qualifying Termination, and timely elects to continue such coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, or, if applicable, comparable state or local insurance laws (“COBRA”), then the Company will pay, directly to the COBRA carrier, as and when due, the COBRA premiums necessary to continue such health insurance coverage for the Executive and his eligible dependents (“COBRA Continuation Payments”) until the earliest of: (i) the first 12 months of COBRA coverage following the Executive’s Separation from Service, (ii) the expiration of eligibility for COBRA coverage, or (iii) the date when Executive or his dependents become eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment (such period, the “COBRA Payment Period”). However, if at any time the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company’s payment of the COBRA Continuation Payments 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) or otherwise result in a material penalty to the Company, then in lieu of providing the COBRA Continuation Payments for the remainder of the COBRA Payment Period, the Company will instead pay the Executive, on the first day of each month of the remainder of the COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA Continuation Payments for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings. In all cases, the Company will make the first payment under this clause on the Initial Payment Date in an amount equal to the aggregate payments that the Company would have paid through such date had such payments commenced on the Separation from Service, with the balance of the payments paid thereafter on the schedule described above. If the Executive becomes eligible for coverage under another employer’s group health plan or otherwise ceases to be eligible for COBRA during the COBRA Payment Period, the Executive must immediately notify the Company of such event, and all payments and obligations under this clause will immediately cease.
Normal Retirement Benefits A Participant shall be entitled to receive the balance held in his or her account upon attaining his or her Normal Retirement Age or at such earlier dates as the provisions of this Article VI may permit. If a Participant elects to continue working past his or her Normal Retirement Age, he or she will continue as an active Participant. Unless the Employer elects otherwise in the Adoption Agreement, distribution shall be made to such Participant at his or her request prior to his or her actual retirement. Distribution shall be made in the normal form, or if elected, in one of the optional forms of payment provided below.
Severance Period For purposes of this Agreement, “Severance Period” means the period of time commencing immediately after Executive’s separation of service from the Company through the date that is six (6) months following such separation date, plus an additional two (2) months for every fully completed Year of Service; provided, however, that in all cases the Severance Period will end no later than on the twelve (12)-month anniversary of the date of Executive’s termination of employment.
Minimum Benefits If the Termination Date occurs during the Employment Period for any reason, Executive shall be entitled to the Minimum Benefits, in addition to any other benefits to which Executive may be entitled under the following provisions of this Section 4 or the express terms of any employee benefit plan or as required by law. Any benefits to be provided to Executive pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be provided within 30 days after the Termination Date; provided, however, that any benefits, incentives or awards payable as described in Section 4(f) shall be provided in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan, program or arrangement. Except as may expressly be provided to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring Executive to be treated as employed by the Company or any Affiliate following the Termination Date for purposes of any plan, program, or arrangement.
COBRA Continuation Coverage Upon the termination of Executive’s active employment with the Company, Executive shall be entitled to elect continued medical and dental insurance coverage in accordance with the applicable provisions of COBRA and the Company shall pay such COBRA premiums.
Retirement Benefits Upon the occurrence of the Qualifying --------- ------------------- Date (except as otherwise specifically provided herein), the Bank will pay to the Director $671 per month for a continuous period of 120 months. Such continuous monthly installment payments shall commence on a date to be determined by the Bank, but in no event later than the first day of the sixth calendar month following the calendar month in which the Qualifying Date shall occur. In the event that the Director should die after becoming entitled to receive such installment payments but before all such payments have been made, the Bank will pay all remaining installment payments to such beneficiary or beneficiaries as the Director has designated in writing to the Bank (the "Beneficiaries"). In the event of the death of the last living Beneficiary before all remaining installment payments have been made, the balance of any payments which remain unpaid at such Beneficiary's death shall be commuted on the basis of eight percent (8%) per annum compounded interest and shall be paid in a single sum to the estate of the last Beneficiary to die. In the absence of any such beneficiary designation, or if no Beneficiary survives the Director, any payments remaining unpaid at the Director's death shall be commuted on the basis of eight percent (8%) per annum compounded interest and shall be paid in a single sum to the Director's estate.
Severance Pay In the event that your employment is terminated by the Company, except for “Cause” as defined below, you will be eligible to receive the following:
Outplacement Benefits The Executive may, if the Executive so elects, receive outplacement assistance and services at the Company’s expense for a period of two (2) years following the Date of Termination. These services will be provided by a national firm selected by the Company whose primary business is outplacement assistance. Notwithstanding the above, if the Executive accepts employment with another employer, these outplacement benefits shall cease on the date of such acceptance.
