Board Determined Cause Event Sample Clauses

A Board Determined Cause Event clause grants the board of directors the authority to identify and declare specific events or actions as constituting "cause" under an agreement. In practice, this means the board can assess situations such as misconduct, breach of duty, or other significant issues, and formally determine whether these meet the threshold for cause, which may trigger consequences like termination or forfeiture of benefits. This clause ensures that the board retains discretion and flexibility in addressing serious issues, providing a clear mechanism for responding to problematic behavior or events that may not be exhaustively listed in the agreement.

(ii) the portion of the Executive's Annual Incentive Compensation under Section 3.2(a) that otherwise would have been payable based on the then current actual performance, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the number of days from January 1st of the calendar year in which such termination occurs until the date of the Executive's employment termination, and (B) the denominator of which is 365.

If the Executive obtains other employment that offers substantially similar or improved benefits, as to any particular medical plan, continuation of coverage by the Employer under this Section 6.5(a)(iii) shall immediately cease. The continuation of health benefits under this subsection shall reduce and count against the Executive's rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended.
