Death Benefits contract clause examples

Death Benefits. Upon the Executive’s death during the Contract Period, his/her estate shall not be entitled to any further benefits under this Agreement.

Death Benefits. If upon the Participant’s death he has earned a vested Retirement Benefit under the Plan, the Company shall pay to the Participant’s designated beneficiary a lump sum death benefit equal to five times his annual normal Retirement Benefit, as determined under Article III of the Plan. In the event the Participant fails to properly designate a beneficiary or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the Participant, the death benefit shall be payable to the Participant’s estate. This death benefit shall be determined at the applicable time as set forth in the relevant section of the Plan and shall be payable as soon as administratively feasible following the Participant’s death.

Benefits upon Death/Disability. During the Term, if the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of death under Section 4(a) or Disability under Section 4(b), all time-based equity awards (including the Initial Equity Award and any awards originally subject to performance vesting conditions that remain subject to time-based vesting after satisfaction of such performance conditions) held by the Executive on the Date of Termination shall automatically vest and become exercisable or nonforfeitable and all performance-based equity awards held by the Executive on the Date of Termination which the Executive would have vested had he remained employed through the end of the performance period in respect of each such award shall become vested as of the end of such performance period(s) based on the Company’s actual performance through the end of such performance period(s) but such amount shall be further prorated in the manner set forth in the applicable award agreement.

Forfeiture of Benefits At Death At the Participant's death, the value of any portion of the Participant's Supplemental Retirement Benefit not paid as a Death Benefit under this Article will be forfeited

Payment of Benefits Upon Death. If a Participant or Former Participant whose employment with all Employers has not terminated dies before the complete distribution of one or more of his or her Accounts, the Participant or Former Participant shall become 100% vested in his Accounts; and the balance of such Accounts shall become payable to the Beneficiary of the Participant or Former Participant and shall be paid in accordance with [Sections 7.8 through 7.10]. Also, if a Participant or Former Participant whose employment with all Employers has terminated, but whose Account(s) have not yet become vested or are not yet forfeited (because of the extended vesting provisions of the Plan) dies before his or her Accounts have become vested or are forfeited, the Participant or Former Participant shall become 100% vested in his Accounts; and the balance of such Accounts shall become payable to the Beneficiary of the Participant or Former Participant and shall be paid in accordance with [Sections 7.8 through 7.10].

Death. Except as provided in the Notice or as provided otherwise by the Committee, and subject to the Plan, if Participant’s Service terminates because of Participant’s death (or Participant dies within three (3) months after Participant’s Service terminates except for Cause or because of the Participant’s Disability), then Participant’s Options may be exercised only to the extent that such Options would have been exercisable by the Participant on the Termination Date and must be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative, or authorized assignee, no later than the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date of the Option as set forth in the Notice.

Death. In the event of the death of the Executive during the Employment Term, the Executive’s employment shall be automatically terminated as of the date of death and a lump sum amount, equivalent to the Executive’s annual Base Salary and Target Bonus Amount then in effect, shall be paid, within 60 days after the date of the Executive’s death, to the Executive’s designated beneficiary, or to the Executive’s estate or other legal representative if no beneficiary was designated at the time of the Executive’s death. In the event of the death of the Executive during the Employment Term, the restrictions and deferral limitations applicable to any Option, Stock Appreciation Right (“SAR”), Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share, Performance Unit, Deferred Stock Unit, Dividend Equivalent or any Stock Grant Awards (collectively “Awards”), as such Awards are defined in the 2023 Omnibus Plan, granted to the Executive shall be subject to the provisions regarding vesting and transferability in those circumstances as are set forth in the applicable award agreement or grant, provided that both the Sign-On RSUs and the Sign-On Stock Options shall become fully vested as of the Executive’s date of termination. The foregoing benefit will be provided in addition to any death, disability or other benefits provided under the Company’s benefit plans and programs in which the Executive was participating at the time of Executive’s death. Except in accordance with the terms of the Company’s benefit programs and other plans and programs then in effect, after the date of the Executive’s death, the Executive shall not be entitled to any other compensation or benefits from the Company or hereunder. In the event of the death of the Executive as described in this [Subsection 4(a)], to the extent previously paid, the Executive’s obligation to pay back the Sign-On Bonus, pursuant to [Subsection 3(d)(i)] shall be waived.

Death. If the Executive dies during the Employment Period, this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company shall automatically terminate and the Company’s obligations to the Executive’s estate and to the Executive’s Qualified Beneficiaries shall be those set forth in Section 6 regarding severance compensation.

The Executive’s employment with the Company terminates without notice immediately upon the death of the Executive. Upon the death of the Executive, the Executive’s beneficiary, designated in writing to the Company, will be entitled to receive continuing payments of the Base Salary for a period of twelve months.

Death. This Agreement and the Employee’s employment hereunder shall be terminated by the death of the Employee and all vested but unexercised Options shall remain exercisable by the Employee's designated beneficiary, or, in the absence of such designation, to the estate or other legal representative of the Employee, through the term of such Option.
