Common use of Tax Liabilities and Code Section 409A Clause in Contracts

Tax Liabilities and Code Section 409A. You are solely responsible for the payment of any tax liability (including any taxes and penalties that may arise under Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) that may result from any payments or benefits that you receive under this Agreement. These payments or benefits may be reduced by any applicable employment or withholding taxes. In addition, Catalina will suspend payment of any cash amounts you are entitled to receive under Section 3 during the six-months following termination of your employment (the “409A Suspension Period”), unless Catalina reasonably determines that paying the amounts in accordance with Section 3 will not result in your liability for additional tax under Section 409A. As soon as reasonably practical after the end of the 409A Suspension Period, you will receive a lump sum payment in cash for an amount equal to any cash payments that Catalina doesn’t make during the 409A Suspension Period. After that, you will receive any remaining payments under Section 3 in accordance with its terms (as if there had not been any suspension of payments).
