Vacation Benefits During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible for 20 vacation days annually, which shall be accrued and used in accordance with the applicable policies of the Company. During the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in such medical, dental and life insurance, retirement and other plans as the Company may have or establish from time to time on terms and conditions applicable to other senior executives of the Company generally. The foregoing, however, shall not be construed to require the Company to establish any such plans or to prevent the modification or termination of such plans once established.
Retirement Benefit (i) In consideration of the Executive's past services to the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to a retirement benefit, payable monthly for his life, in an amount equal to 50 percent of his highest monthly Base Salary during the Employment Term. Such payments shall commence on the first day of the month coincident with or next following the later of the Executive's attainment of age 58 or the end of the Employment Term (the "Commencement Date"); provided, however, that if the Employment Term terminates prior to his attainment of age 58, the Executive may elect by written notice to the Company to have such payments commence on the first day of any month after such termination of employment (the "Early Commencement Date") in a monthly amount equal to the monthly amount that the Executive would have received at the Commencement Date, reduced by one-third of one percent (.33%) per month for each month by which the Early Commencement Date precedes the Commencement Date. The amount of each payment hereunder shall be increased on each January 1 following the Early Commencement Date or Commencement Date, as applicable, by an amount determined by multiplying the amount of each monthly payment made in the preceding year by the percentage increase, if any, in the cost of living from the preceding January 1, as reflected by the Consumer Price Index. The Executive's election to have his retirement benefit payments commence on the Early Commencement Date shall not affect the Company's obligation to pay consulting fees to the Executive in accordance with Section 4 hereof. The retirement benefit shall be an unconditional, but unsecured, general credit obligation of the Company to the Executive, and nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to it, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind between the Company and the Executive. The Executive shall have no right, title or interest whatever in or to any investments which the Company may make (including, but not limited to, an insurance policy on the life of the Executive) to aid it in meeting its obligations hereunder. (ii) From time to time, the Company shall make such contributions to the trust established under the Trust Agreement dated as of December 18, 1986 (the "1986 Trust") between the Company, as grantor, and Wi▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as successor trustee, to provide a sufficient reserve for the discharge of its obligation to pay the retirement benefit to the Executive as provided in clause (i) of this Section 3(c) and clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 5(a) hereof.
Death Benefit Should Employee die during the term of employment, the Company shall pay to Employee's estate any compensation due through the end of the month in which death occurred.
HOLIDAY COMPENSATION FOR TIME WORKED 111. Employees required by their respective appointing officers to work on any of the above designated or observed holidays, excepting Fridays observed as holidays in lieu of holidays falling on Saturday, shall be paid extra compensation of one additional ▇▇▇'s pay at time-and-one-half the usual rate (i.e. 12 hours pay for 8 hours worked) or a proportionate amount for less than 8 hours worked. At the employee's request and with the approval of the appointing officer, an employee may be granted compensatory time off in lieu of paid overtime pursuant to the provisions herein. 112. Executive, administrative and professional employees designated in the Annual Salary Ordinance with the "Z" symbol shall not receive extra compensation for holiday work but may be granted time off equivalent to the time worked at the rate of one-and-one- half times for work on the holiday.
Public Benefit It is ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s understanding that the commitments it has agreed to herein, and actions to be taken by Praeger under this Settlement Agreement confer a significant benefit to the general public, as set forth in Code of Civil Procedure § 1021.5 and Cal. Admin. Code tit. 11, § 3201. As such, it is the intent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that to the extent any other private party serves a notice and/or initiates an action alleging a violation of Proposition 65 with respect to Praeger's alleged failure to provide a warning concerning actual or alleged exposure to cadmium prior to use of the Covered Products it has manufactured, distributed, sold, or offered for sale in California, or will manufacture, distribute, sell, or offer for sale in California, such private party action would not confer a significant benefit on the general public as to those Covered Products addressed in this Settlement Agreement, provided that Praeger is in material compliance with this Settlement Agreement.
