Severance Upon Certain Terminations Clause Samples

The "Severance Upon Certain Terminations" clause defines the conditions under which an employee is entitled to receive severance pay if their employment ends under specific circumstances, such as termination without cause or resignation for good reason. Typically, this clause outlines the amount and form of severance benefits, which may include salary continuation, bonus payments, or continued benefits coverage, and specifies the triggering events that qualify for such payments. Its core practical function is to provide financial security to the employee in the event of an involuntary or qualifying termination, while also clarifying the employer’s obligations and reducing potential disputes over post-termination compensation.
Severance Upon Certain Terminations. Upon termination of Executive’s employment, Executive will receive payment for any accrued but unpaid wages, and for any incurred but unreimbursed business expenses, subject to the Company’s policies for expense reimbursements. In addition, if during the Term the Company terminates the Agreement without Cause or Executive resigns for Good Reason, or if the Executive’s employment terminates upon the expiration of the Term as a result of the Company’s election not to renew the Term, the Company shall pay Executive (a) his Base Salary (at no less than $376,000 per year) for a period of eighteen (18) months (the “Severance Period”), (b) the Annual Bonus for the year preceding the year of termination to the extent not already paid, (c) the Annual Bonus (at target) for the one year and the ensuing six (6) months of the Severance Period, on a pro rata basis, ending during the Severance Period, and (d) a monthly stipend equal to the amount of the Executive’s premiums (the “Premium Assistance”) for continuation of medical and dental benefits pursuant to Executive’s COBRA election (grossed up to account for applicable taxes and withholdings) for a period of eighteen (18) months; provided, however, that the payments and benefits described in this Section 6 are expressly conditioned upon Executive’s execution of a general release of claims (the “Release”) against the Company and its affiliates (excluding rights in his capacity as a stockholder, rights with respect to equity incentive awards and rights to indemnification for acts performed in his capacity as an director, officer or employee) in a mutually acceptable form, which must be effective and irrevocable prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the effective date of the termination of Executive’s employment (the “Termination Date”). If the Executive does not execute without revocation the Release in the time period provided herein, Executive will forfeit his right to the severance benefits in this Section 6. Payment of the Base Salary and Premium Assistance will commence on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, and the first installment shall include the payments that would have been made had the payments commenced on the first payroll date following the Termination Date.

Any benefits payable to the Employee under any otherwise applicable plans, policies and practices of Employer shall not be limited by this provision. (ii) If the Employee's employment shall terminate upon his death or Disability or if Employer shall terminate the Employee's employment for Cause, Employer shall pay the Employee his full Base Salary through the Date of Termination, plus, in the case of termination upon the Employee's death or Disability, a Pro Rata Share of the Annual Bonus. Any benefits payable to or in respect of the Employee under any otherwise applicable plans, policies and practices of the Employer shall not be limited by this provision.

  • Certain Terminations The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue, or matter therein by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

(commonly known as “COBRA”), the Company will pay with the cost of the regular premium for such benefits shared in the same relative proportion by the Company and Executive as in effect on the date of termination from the date of termination until the earlier of: (1) twelve months after the date of termination, or (2) the date Executive is no longer eligible for COBRA; and (iii) payment of the bonus that the Executive would have been entitled to receive under the bonus or other performance plan referred to in Section 3(b) had his employment not been terminated, prorated based on the number of days the Executive was employed by the Company during the relevant bonus period. Such payment shall be made to the Executive at the time bonuses under such plan are generally paid to other participants but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the termination date. The Company shall have the right to terminate all of the Termination Benefits set forth in Section 5(e)(i) and Section 5(e)(ii) in the event that Executive fails to comply in any material respect with Executive’s Continuing Obligations under this Agreement.

The Company and Executive agree that the Termination Benefits paid by the Company to Executive under this Section 5(e) shall be in full satisfaction, compromise and release of any claims arising exclusively out of any termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(c) or Section 5(d), and that the payment of the Termination Benefits shall be contingent upon Executive’s delivery of a separation agreement in a form satisfactory to the Company that shall include a general release of claims in favor of the Company and related persons and entities (“Release Agreement”), it being understood that no Termination Benefits shall be provided unless and until such Release agreement becomes fully effective.
