Compliance with Code §409A Sample Clauses
The "Compliance with Code §409A" clause ensures that any compensation or benefits provided under the agreement adhere to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which governs the taxation of nonqualified deferred compensation. In practice, this clause typically requires that payment schedules, deferral elections, and distribution events are structured to avoid triggering additional taxes or penalties for the recipient. Its core function is to protect both the employer and employee from unintended tax consequences by ensuring the agreement is structured in accordance with federal tax law.

Reg. §1.409-1(i), then payment of any amount under this Agreement that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation shall be delayed until: (i) the later of: (A) the first day of the seventh month following your separation from service, and (B) the first date on which such payment would not be non-deductible as a result of Section 162(m) of the Code, or (ii) your death, if earlier.
