Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason Unrelated to Change in Control Clause Samples

This clause defines the rights and procedures for either party to end the employment relationship without needing to prove misconduct or, in the case of the employee, to resign for a valid reason that is not connected to a change in control of the company. Typically, it outlines the notice period required, any severance or benefits owed, and the specific circumstances that qualify as 'good reason' for resignation, such as a significant reduction in duties or compensation. The core function of this clause is to provide flexibility for both employer and employee to exit the agreement under fair terms, while clearly delineating the process and consequences to avoid disputes.
Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason Unrelated to Change in Control. If, at any time outside the Change in Control Period (as defined below), the Company terminates your employment without Cause, or you resign for Good Reason, and other than as a result of your death or disability, and provided such termination constitutes a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), without regard to any alternative definition thereunder, a “Separation from Service”), then subject to the preconditions set forth in Section 7 below, you shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits: (i) The Company will pay you an amount equal to 12 months of your then-current base salary (excluding any salary reduction that served as the basis for any Good Reason resignation), less all applicable withholdings and deductions, paid over such 12-month period, on the schedule described in Section 7 below. (ii) You will remain eligible for an annual bonus for the year in which your Separation from Service is effective, with the bonus amount to be determined by the Board (or the Compensation Committee thereof) based on corporate performance during the year, and then prorated based on your months of service during the applicable bonus year. Any bonus awarded will be subject to deductions and withholdings and paid at the same time as when bonuses are paid to the rest of senior management. (iii) If you timely elect continued coverage under COBRA for yourself and your covered dependents under the Company’s group health plans following such termination or resignation of employment, then the Company shall pay the entire COBRA premiums necessary to continue your health insurance coverage in effect for yourself and your eligible dependents on the termination date until the earliest of (A) the close of the 12 month period following the termination of your employment, (B) the expiration of your eligibility for the continuation coverage under COBRA, and (C) the date when you become eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment. If you become eligible for coverage under another employer's group health plan or otherwise cease to be eligible for COBRA during the period provided in this clause, you must immediately notify the Company of such event, and all payments and obligations under this clause shall cease.
