Continuation of Benefits After the Termination Date contract clause examples

Additional Requirements. The Change in Control Benefits and Severance Benefits are conditional upon # your past and continuing compliance with your obligations under your Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement; # your delivering to the Company an effective, general release of claims in favor of the Company in a form acceptable to the Company within 60 days following your termination date; and # if you are a member of the Board, your resignation from the Board, to be effective no later than the date of your termination date (or such other date as requested by the Board) (collectively, the “Additional Requirements”). The Change in Control Salary Continuation or Severance Salary Continuation will be paid in equal installments on the Company’s regular payroll schedule and will be subject to applicable tax withholdings over the period outlined above following the date of your termination date; provided, however, that no payments will be made prior to the 60th day following your Separation from Service. On the 60th day following your Separation from Service, the Company will pay you in a lump sum the applicable Salary Continuation and COBRA Benefits that you would have received on or prior to such date under the original schedule but for the delay while waiting for the 60th day in compliance with Code Section 409A and the effectiveness of the release, with the balance of the applicable Salary Continuation and COBRA Benefits being paid as originally scheduled. For the absence of doubt, in no circumstance will you be entitled to receive both the Change in Control Benefits and the Severance Benefits.

Following a Change in Control and For Other Than Cause or Good Reason. In the event that there is a Change in Control of the Company and the Company or its successor terminates your employment other than for Cause, or you terminate your employment for Good Reason, in either case upon or within twelve (12) months following the Change in Control, then you will be entitled to receive: # a lump sum payment equal to the sum of # six (6) months of your then-current base salary, # 100% of your target bonus for that fiscal year, and # reimbursement of six (6) months of your COBRA premiums; and # acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of one hundred percent (100%) of all options, and unvested shares subject to all options, to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock then held by you (the “Change in Control Severance Benefits”). You agree that you will not resign for Good Reason without first providing the Company, or its successor as applicable, with written notice addressed to the CEO of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for Good Reason within sixty (60) days of the initial existence of the grounds for Good Reason, with a reasonable cure period of not less than fifteen (15) days following delivery of such notice to the Company. In addition, you must terminate your employment within thirty (30) days following expiration of such cure period for your resignation to qualify as a resignation for Good Reason. Your entitlement to the Change in Control Severance Benefits is subject to your executing and not revoking an industry standard release and waiver of claims in favor of the Company (or its successor, as applicable).
