Intent and Compliance Clause Samples

The "Intent and Compliance" clause establishes that parties must act in accordance with both the spirit and the letter of the agreement, ensuring that their actions align with the underlying purpose of the contract. In practice, this clause requires parties not only to follow the explicit terms but also to avoid actions that would undermine the agreement’s objectives, even if such actions are not expressly prohibited. Its core function is to prevent parties from exploiting loopholes or technicalities, thereby promoting fairness and upholding the contract’s intended outcomes.
Intent and Compliance. This Agreement is intended to comply with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) §409A, including the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, or an applicable exemption therefrom and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Code §409A or an applicable exemption therefrom. Any nonqualified deferred compensation payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Code §409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service or as a short-term deferral shall be excluded from Code §409A to the maximum extent possible. For purposes of Code §409A, each installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. Any payments to be made under this Agreement upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under Code §409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Code §409A, and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred by Executive on account of non-compliance with Code §409A.
