Compensation and Benefits Upon Termination of Employment (a) If the Company shall terminate the Executive's employment after a Change in Control other than pursuant to Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(d) and Section 3(f), or if the Executive shall terminate his employment for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay to the Executive, as severance compensation and in consideration of the Executive's adherence to the terms of Section 5 hereof, the following:
Termination of Employment and Severance Benefits The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate under the following circumstances:
Employees and Benefits With respect to Employee Benefit Plans, credit for service accrued by Continuing Employees (and eligible dependents) for employment with Stonepath and/or the Company prior to the Closing Date shall be recognized (except to the extent necessary to prevent duplication of benefits), any pre-existing condition limitations (to the extent such limitations did not apply to a pre-existing condition under a similar or corresponding Stonepath Employee Benefit Plan) and eligibility waiting periods applicable to any Continuing Employee shall be waived, and employees shall be given credit for amounts paid or vesting under any Stonepath or Company Employee Benefit Plan during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Employee Benefit Plan of Purchaser. With respect to 401(k) plan matters, Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in the Company 401(k) plan to be created by Purchaser, effective within 60 days after the Closing Date. Prior to Closing, the Parties will agree on a list of employees that will be terminated by Stonepath and hired by Purchaser at Closing ("Continuing Employees"). Provided that the Company has established medical plans for the Continuing Employees as of the Closing Date, all such Continuing Employees shall be terminated from Stonepath's Employee Benefit Plans as of the Closing Date, pursuant to Applicable Law, and be covered by Purchaser's plans, including medical coverage, thereafter. To the extent the Purchaser does not have new plans in place on the Closing Date, Stonepath shall continue to maintain coverage for the Continuing Employees for the remainder of the month of the Closing Date at Purchaser's expense, including any expenses of administration. The estimated reimbursement for such medical coverage as determined by Stonepath shall be paid by Purchaser to Stonepath prior to the date that it is due from Stonepath, with an actual reconciliation to follow within thirty (30) days of the delivery to Purchaser of documentation of actual costs.
Severance Pay and Benefits Upon Termination by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for
Accrued Compensation and Benefits Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2 and 3 above, in connection with any termination of employment upon or following a Change in Control (whether or not a Qualifying Termination or CIC Qualifying Termination), the Company or its subsidiary shall pay Executive’s earned but unpaid base salary and other vested but unpaid cash entitlements for the period through and including the termination of employment, including unused earned vacation pay and unreimbursed documented business expenses incurred by Executive prior to the date of termination (collectively “Accrued Compensation and Expenses”), as required by law and the applicable Company or its subsidiary, as applicable, plan or policy. In addition, Executive shall be entitled to any other vested benefits earned by Executive for the period through and including the termination date of Executive’s employment under any other employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained by the Company or its subsidiary, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of such plans and arrangements, except as modified herein (collectively “Accrued Benefits”). Any Accrued Compensation and Expenses to which the Executive is entitled shall be paid to the Executive in cash as soon as administratively practicable after the termination, and, in any event, no later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the end of the taxable year of the Executive in which the termination occurs or at such earlier time as may be required by applicable law or Section 10 below, and to such lesser extent as may be mandated by Section 9 below. Any Accrued Benefits to which the Executive is entitled shall be paid to the Executive as provided in the relevant plans and arrangements.
Severance Payments and Benefits For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Severance Payments and Benefits" shall mean:
Severance Compensation upon Termination of Employment If the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than pursuant to Section 5(a), (b) or (c) or if the Executive shall terminate his employment for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay to the Executive as severance pay in a lump sum, in cash, on the fifth day following the Date of Termination, an amount equal to three (3) times the average of the aggregate annual compensation paid to the Executive during the three (3) fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the Change of Control by the Company subject to United States income taxes (or, such fewer number of fiscal years if the Executive has not been employed by the Company during each of the preceding three (3) fiscal years).
Conditions of Employment It is a term and condition of employment and of the obligations and rights occurring under this Agreement, that an employee:
Terms of Employment This Section 2 sets forth the terms and conditions on which the Company agrees to employ Executive during the period (the “Protected Period”) beginning on the first day during the Term of this Agreement on which a Change of Control occurs and ending on the second anniversary of that date, or such earlier date as Executive’s employment terminates as contemplated by Section 3.
Employment and Benefit Matters (a) For the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on December 31, 2011, Parent agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain base salary, bonus opportunity, retirement benefits, health benefits, welfare benefits, but not any stock-based benefits, for the Seller Personnel who remain employed after the Effective Time (collectively, the “Seller Employees”) at the same levels that are, in the aggregate, at least comparable to those in effect for similarly situated employees of Parent on the date hereof. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, treat, and cause the applicable benefit plans in which Seller Employees are entitled to participate to treat, the service of Seller Employees with Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller attributable to any period before the Effective Time as service rendered to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of Parent for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for other appropriate benefits including, but not limited to, applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation, but excluding benefit accrual (including minimum pension amount) and eligibility for early retirement under any defined benefit plan of Parent or eligibility for retiree welfare benefit plans or as would otherwise result in a duplication of benefits. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations, eligibility waiting periods or required physical examinations under any health or similar plan of Parent to be waived with respect to Seller Employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent waived or satisfied under the corresponding plan in which Seller Employees participated immediately prior to the Acceptance Date, and any deductibles paid by Seller Employees under any of Seller’s or its Subsidiaries’ health plans in the plan year in which the Acceptance Date occurs shall be credited towards deductibles under the health plans of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate arrangements with its insurance carrier(s) to ensure such result. Seller Employees shall be considered to be employed by Parent “at will” and nothing shall be construed to limit the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to terminate the employment of any such Seller Employee at any time. Parent will cooperate with Seller, and assume all costs, in respect of consultation obligations and similar notice and bargaining obligations owed to any employees or consultants of Seller or any Subsidiary of Seller in accordance with all applicable Laws and bargaining agreements, if any.
