Death or Incapacity If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death or Incapacity during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for (i) timely payment of Accrued Obligations in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination and (ii) provision by the Company of death benefits or disability benefits for termination due to death or Incapacity, respectively, in accordance with Section 3(b)(iii) as in effect at the Operative Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, at the Executive’s Date of Termination.
Death or Incompetence You agree to notify us promptly in writing if any account holder or other person with a right to withdraw funds from your account dies or becomes legally incompetent. We may continue to honor all instructions and funds transfer requests from such a person until: (a) we know, with reasonable certainty, of the death or legal incompetence of an account holder or other person with a right to withdraw funds, and (b) we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on that knowledge. You agree that we may honor funds transfers requested or initiated on or before the date of death or legal incompetence of an account holder or other person with a right to withdraw funds for up to ten (10) days after we determine that death or legal incompetence occurred, unless we are ordered to stop payment by someone with or claiming a legitimate interest in the account. We may require a reasonable proof of death or adjudication of incompetence. Until we receive notice and any required proof of death or incompetence, we may act as if all account holders and other persons with a right to withdraw funds are alive and competent. We may restrict access to your account upon notice of your death or legal incompetence until the appropriate documentation is provided to us by your executor, administrator or legal representative. Where a Joint Account owner dies, we may require the surviving Joint Account owner to provide us with certain documentation satisfactory to us before we will release the remaining funds in a Joint Account. Transferring Account Ownership. You may not transfer, assign or pledge any account without our Disputed Ownership of an Account. If we receive any conflicting instructions or claims to funds that are in an account, we may, in our sole discretion: (a) restrict the account and deny access to the funds; (b) hold the funds without liability to anyone until the conflicting claims are resolved to our satisfaction; (c) close the account and send the funds to the owner(s) of the account at the address on our records; and/or (d) refer the matter to an appropriate court or arbitrator for judgment or decision. (See also the “Dispute Resolution” section at the end of this agreement.) If we are notified of a dispute, we do not have to decide if the dispute has merit before we take further action. We may take these actions without any liability and without advance notice, unless required by applicable law. Levies and Garnishments. We must comply if we are served with any notice of garnishment or attachment, tax levy, injunction, restraining order, subpoena, or other legal process relating to your account. We may charge a legal process fee and may assess this fee against any account you maintain with us, including the account that is subject to the legal process. Levies and garnishments are subject to our right of set-off and security interests to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. CLOSING OR FREEZING ACCOUNTS, INACTIVE ACCOUNTS Closing or Freezing Accounts. We may, at any time and without notice to you, close your account and terminate this agreement as to that account (except for those provisions of this agreement that are intended to survive account closing and termination) or freeze your account (close your account to further deposits, withdrawals, funds transfers and other account activity), if we believe the account was used in a manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this agreement; for example, by:
Assignment by the Executive This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees. If the Executive dies while any amount would still be payable to him hereunder had he continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, will be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s Beneficiary. If the Executive has not named a Beneficiary, then such amounts will be paid to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or if there is no such designee, to the Executive’s estate, and such designee, or the Executive’s estate will be treated as the Beneficiary hereunder.
Termination Upon Death or Disability If Executive dies during the Term, the obligations of the Company to or with respect to Executive shall terminate in their entirety except as otherwise provided under this Section 4.1. If Executive becomes eligible for disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plans and arrangements (or, if none, if Executive by virtue of ill health or other disability is unable to perform substantially and continuously the duties assigned to him for at least 120 consecutive or non-consecutive days out of any consecutive 12-month period), the Company shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to terminate the employment of Executive upon notice in writing to Executive; provided that the Company will have no right to terminate Executive’s employment if, in the reasonable opinion of a qualified physician acceptable to the Company, it is substantially certain that Executive will be able to resume Executive’s duties on a regular full-time basis within 30 days of the date Executive receives notice of such termination. Upon death or other termination of employment by virtue of disability in accordance with this Section 4.1, Executive (or Executive’s estate or beneficiaries in the case of the death of Executive) shall have no right to receive any compensation or benefit hereunder on and after the effective date of the termination of employment other than (i) Annual Salary and other benefits earned and accrued under this Agreement prior to the date of termination (and reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses incurred prior to the date of termination); (ii) a cash payment equal to the prorated portion of the Annual Bonus at the “target” level for the Contract Year or partial Contract Year in which Executive’s employment hereunder terminates; (iii) elimination of any exclusively time-based vesting conditions on any restricted stock, stock option or other equity awards in the Company he had been granted which he then continues to hold, to the extent then unvested (it being expressly understood and agreed that any performance-based vesting conditions (whether or not in tandem with such time-based vesting conditions) will continue in effect in accordance with their terms, except as may otherwise be provided to the contrary in the applicable award agreements); (iv) in the event of Executive’s death, (A) a cash payment equal to two months of Executive’s Annual Salary payable no later than 10 days after such termination, and (B) continuation to Executive’s spouse and dependents of fully paid health insurance benefits under the Company’s health plans and programs applicable to senior executives of the Company generally (if and as in effect from time to time) during the one year following the date of termination; and (v) Executive (or, in the case of his death, his estate and beneficiaries) shall have no further rights to any other compensation or benefits hereunder on or after the termination of employment, or any other rights hereunder.
Upon Death or Disability If the Executive dies, all provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement (other than rights or benefits arising as a result of such death) and the Employment Term shall be automatically terminated; provided, however, that an amount equal to the earned and unpaid Incentive Payments to the date of death and the Standard Termination Payments shall be paid to the Executive’s surviving spouse or, if none, the Executive’s estate (as set forth above), and the death benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans shall be paid to the Executive’s beneficiary or beneficiaries as properly designated in writing by the Executive. If the Executive is unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s job under this Agreement, with or without reasonable accommodation, by reason of physical or mental disability or incapacity (“Disability”) and such disability or incapacity shall have continued for any period aggregating six months within any 12 consecutive months, the Company may terminate this Agreement and the Employment Term at any time thereafter. In such event, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the Executive’s normal compensation hereunder during said time of disability or incapacity, and shall thereafter be entitled to receive the “Disability Incentive Payment” (as described in the penultimate sentence of this subsection (b)) and the Standard Termination Payments (as set forth above). The portion of the payment representing the Disability Incentive Payment shall be paid in a lump sum determined on a net present value basis, using a reasonable discount rate determined by the Board. The Disability Incentive Payment shall be equal to the target Incentive Payment that the Executive would have been eligible to receive for the year in which the Employment Term is terminated multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year before and including the day of termination of the Employment Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such year. Subject to Section 19 below, the Disability Incentive Payment shall be payable in a lump sum on the 60th day after termination of the Executive’s employment.
