Common use of Tax Compliance Delay in Payment Clause in Contracts

Tax Compliance Delay in Payment. If the Company reasonably determines that any payment or benefit due under this Section 8, or any other amount that may become due to Executive after termination of employment, would result in an excise tax to Executive under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), because Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A, upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason other than death (whether by resignation or otherwise), such payment, benefit or other amount will not be paid or provided to Executive earlier than six months after the date of termination of Executive’s employment and such payment, benefit or other amount will be paid or provided, or commence to be paid or provided, as the case may be, on the date that is six months and one day after the termination of Executive’s employment, together with interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum beginning with the date one day after the Date of Termination until the date of payment. All other payments, benefits or other amounts (e.g., amounts that do not constitute a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)) (including without limitation by reason of the safe harbor set forth in Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)), as determined by the Company in its reasonable good faith discretion, or benefits which qualify as excepted welfare benefits pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5)) will be paid or provided to Executive at or within the time provided notwithstanding the fact that the payment or provision of other payments, benefits or amounts is delayed pursuant to this Section 8(f).
