Economic Benefit The Administrator shall annually determine the economic benefit attributable to the Executive based on the life insurance premium factor for the Executive’s age multiplied by the aggregate death benefit payable to the Executive’s beneficiary. The “life insurance premium factor” is the minimum factor applicable under guidance published pursuant to Treasury Reg. section 1.61-22(d)(3)(ii) or any subsequent authority.
Death After Separation from Service But Before Benefit Distributions Commence If the Executive is entitled to benefit distributions under this Agreement, but dies prior to the commencement of said benefit distributions, the Bank shall distribute to the Beneficiary the same benefits that the Executive was entitled to prior to death except that the benefit distributions shall commence within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Bank of the Executive’s death certificate.
Period of Employment The “Period of Employment” shall be a period of three (3) years commencing on the Effective Date and ending at the close of business on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that this Agreement shall be automatically renewed, and the Period of Employment shall be automatically extended for one (1) additional year on the Termination Date and each anniversary of the Termination Date thereafter, unless either party gives written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Period of Employment (including any renewal thereof) of such party’s desire to terminate the Period of Employment (such notice to be delivered in accordance with Section 18). The term “Period of Employment” shall include any extension thereof pursuant to the preceding sentence. Provision of notice that the Period of Employment shall not be extended or further extended, as the case may be, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement and shall not constitute “Good Reason” for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Period of Employment is subject to earlier termination as provided below in this Agreement.
Duties During the Period of Employment As Employer’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Employee shall have full responsibility, subject to the control of Employer’s President and Chief Executive Officer and/or the authorized designee of Employer’s Board of Directors, for the supervision of all assigned aspects of Employer’s business and operations, including all activities related to banking, operations, wealth management, insurance and employee benefit services, and the discharge of such other duties and responsibilities to Employer, not inconsistent with such position, as may from time to time be reasonably assigned to Employee by Employer’s President and Chief Executive Officer, or the authorized designee of Employer’s Board of Directors. Employee shall report to Employer’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Employee shall devote Employee’s best efforts to the affairs of Employer, serve faithfully and to the best of Employee’s ability and devote all of Employee’s working time and attention, knowledge, experience, energy and skill to the business of Employer, except that Employee may affiliate with professional associations, and business, civic and charitable organizations, provided that such affiliations are not inconsistent with and do not interfere with the performance of Employee’s duties under this Agreement. Employee shall serve on the Board of Directors of, or as an officer of Employer’s affiliates, without additional compensation if requested to do so by the Board of Directors of Employer. Employee shall receive only the compensation and other benefits described in this Agreement for Employee’s services to affiliates of Employer.
No Other Employment; Minimum Time Commitment During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall (i) devote substantially all of the Executive’s business time, energy and skill to the performance of the Executive’s duties for the Company, (ii) perform such duties in a faithful, effective and efficient manner to the best of his abilities, and (iii) hold no other employment without the express written approval of the Board. The Executive’s service on the boards of directors (or similar body) of other business entities is subject to the approval of the Board. The Company shall have the right to require the Executive to resign from any board or similar body (including, without limitation, any association, corporate, civic or charitable board or similar body) which he may then serve if the Board reasonably determines that the Executive’s service on such board or body interferes with the effective discharge of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or that any business related to such service is then in competition with any business of the Company or any of its Affiliates, successors or assigns.
During Employment During Employee’s employment hereunder, Employee shall not engage, directly or indirectly, as an employee, officer, director, partner, manager, consultant, agent, owner (other than a minority shareholder or other equity interest of not more than 1% of a company whose equity interests are publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange or over-the-counter) or in any other capacity, in any competition with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Period of Agreement This Agreement shall start on _, 20 (“Effective Date”), and end on , 20_ _, at 12:00 midnight (“Listing Period”), unless the expiration date is extended in writing.
Section 409A Limitation It is the intention of Company and Executive that the severance and other benefits payable to Executive under this Agreement either be exempt from, or otherwise comply with, Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is determined by the Company, with the advice of its independent accounting firm or other tax advisors, to be subject to and not in compliance with Section 409A, including, without limitation, the definition of “Change in Control” or the timing of commencement and completion of severance benefit and/or other benefit payments to Executive hereunder in connection with a merger, recapitalization, sale of shares or other “Change in Control”, or the amount of any such payments, such provisions shall be interpreted in the manner required to comply with Section 409A. Company and Executive acknowledge and understand that such interpretation could, among other matters, (i) limit the circumstances or events that constitute a “change in control;” (ii) delay for a period of six (6) months or more, or otherwise modify the commencement of severance and/or other benefit payments; and/or (iii) modify the completion date of severance and/or other benefit payments. Company and Executive further acknowledge and agree that if, in the judgment of Company, with the advice of its independent accounting firm or other tax advisors, amendment of this Agreement is necessary to comply with Section 409A, Company and Executive will negotiate reasonably and in good faith to amend the terms of this Agreement to the extent necessary so that it complies (with the most limited possible economic effect on Company and Executive) with Section 409A. For example, if this Agreement is subject to Section 409A and it requires that severance and/or other benefit payments must be delayed until at least six (6) months after Executive terminates employment, then Company and Executive would delay payments and/or promptly seek a written amendment to this Agreement that would, if permissible under Section 409A, eliminate any such payments otherwise payable during the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination of employment and substitute therefor a lump sum payment or an initial installment payment, as applicable, at the beginning of the seventh (7th) month following Executive’s termination of employment which in the case of an initial installment payment would be equal in the aggregate to the amount of all such payments thus eliminated.
