Termination and Severance Executive shall be entitled to receive benefits upon termination of employment only as set forth in this Section 4:
Termination and Severance Pay A. In the event the Employee is terminated pursuant to Paragraph B hereof and the Employee is willing and able to perform the duties of the position under this agreement, upon execution of a Separation Agreement and General Release, the Employer agrees to pay the Employee a lump sum cash payment equal to three (3) months aggregate annual salary, exclusive of other forms of compensation, less standard withholdings, in addition to the continuation of medical, dental and vision insurance benefits during the three (3) month period immediately following the date of termination. However, in the event the Employee is terminated because the Employee has been convicted of a misdemeanor or a felony, or if the County determines that the Employee has engaged in unprofessional and improper practice, other than negligence, and breach of public trust, including but not limited to illegal acts involving personal gain, or moral turpitude, the County shall be entitled to terminate the Employee immediately without any severance pay, or medical, dental and vision insurance continuation aside from COBRA. B. In the event the Employer at any point during the term of this agreement reduces the salary or other financial benefits of the Employee in a greater percentage than reductions to all other employees of Employer, or if Employer refuses, following a written request to comply with any provision benefiting Employee herein; or the Employee resigns following a suggestion, whether formal or informal, by the Sheriff that he or she resign, then, in that event, Employee may, at his or her option, be deemed to be terminated at the date of such reduction or refusal to comply within the meaning and context of the herein severance pay provision. C. In the event the Employee voluntarily resigns his or her position with the County as Major then the Employee shall give the County thirty (30) days written notice in advance, unless the parties otherwise agree. The provision for severance pay and continuation of employment benefits detailed in SECTION 3, Paragraph A shall not apply to a voluntary resignation.
Compensation Other Than Severance Payments 4.1 If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control, the Company shall pay the Executive’s full salary to the Executive through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if Section 18(n)(ii) is applicable as an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason, the rate in effect immediately prior to such event or circumstance, together with all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive through the Date of Termination under the terms of the Company’s compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination (or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting Good Reason). In addition, if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason following a Change in Control other than (a) by the Company for Cause and (b) by the Executive without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay a pro-rata portion of the Executive’s annual bonus for the performance year in which such termination occurs to the Executive on the later of (x) the date that annual bonuses are generally paid to other senior executives and (y) the date that is the first business day after the date that is six months after the Date of Termination. This pro-rata bonus shall be determined by multiplying the amount the Executive would have received based upon actual financial performance through such termination, as reasonably determined by the Company, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during such performance year that the Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365. 4.2 If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for any reason following a Change in Control, the Company shall pay to the Executive the Executive’s normal post-termination compensation and benefits as such payments become due. Such post-termination compensation and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, the Company’s retirement, insurance and other compensation or benefit plans, programs and arrangements as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the first event or circumstance constituting Good Reason.
Termination of Employment and Severance Benefits The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate under the following circumstances:
Severance Compensation In the event (i) Employee terminates this Agreement for Good Reason in accordance with Paragraph 11.3 hereof; (ii) Employee is terminated for any reason (except death or disability) upon, or within six months following, a "Change in Management or Control (as such term is defined in Paragraph 11.5 hereof);" or (iii) Employee is terminated without Cause, the Company shall be obligated to pay severance compensation to Employee in an amount equal to his salary compensation (at the rate payable at the time of such termination) for a period of six (6) months from the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee is employed by a new employer, or as a consultant after the termination of this Agreement, the severance compensation payable to Employee hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of compensation that Employee actually receives from the new employer, or as a consultant. However, Employee shall have a duty to inform the Company that he has obtained such new employment, and the failure to do so is a material breach of this Agreement. In such event, the Company shall be entitled to (i) cease all payments to Employee under this Paragraph 11.4; and (ii) recover any unauthorized payments to Employee in an action for breach of contract. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, solely in the event of a termination upon or following a Change in Management or Control, the amount of severance compensation paid to Employee hereunder shall not include any amount that the Company is prohibited from deducting for federal income tax purposes by virtue of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor provision. In addition to the foregoing severance compensation, the Company shall pay Employee (i) all compensation for services rendered hereunder and not previously paid; (ii) accrued vacation pay; and (iii) any appropriate business expenses incurred by Employee in connection with his duties hereunder and approved pursuant to Section 4 hereof, all through the date of termination. Employee shall not be entitled to any bonus compensation, whether vested or unvested; or any other compensation, benefits or reimbursement of any kind.
