Death or Disability contract clause examples

Death of Disability. In the event the Employee involuntarily ceases to be an employee of the Employer by reason of death or Disability, the RSUs covered by this Agreement, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall immediately vest if such termination of employment occurs prior to a Change in Control and shall be settled within 60 days following the Vesting Date immediately following such termination in accordance with Section 2, without proration.

Termination on Account of Death or Disability. If the Grantee has a Termination of Employment on account of death or Disability (even during the first four months following the Grant Date), the RSUs and any Dividend Equivalents will immediately vest upon such Termination of Employment (such date, if applicable, also a Vesting Date) and will be settled in accordance with Section 2 above, unless otherwise provided in Section 11(b) below.

Death or Disability. If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates prior to the Vesting Date as a result of the Grantee’s death or disability, then the RSU shall vest as of such date. For this purpose, “disability” shall have the same definition as provided in the long-term disability plan sponsored by the Company or an Affiliate in which the Grantee is eligible to participate.

Death or Disability. If the Grantee’s Termination of Employment is as a result of the Grantee’s death or Disability prior to the final Vesting Date listed above, then any unvested RSUs shall vest as of such Termination of Employment.

Qualifying Termination Following Change in Control. In the event the Employee involuntarily ceases to be an employee of the Employer following a Change in Control for any reason other than a termination for Cause, or voluntarily ceases to be an employee due to a Termination for Good Reason following a Change in Control, then the RSUs covered by this Agreement, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall immediately vest (without proration based on the portion of the vesting period elapsed prior to such termination) and shall be paid in cash in accordance with [Section 22(f)] of the Plan within 60 days following the earliest time set forth in [Section 22(c)] of the Plan that will not trigger a tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, as determined by the Committee. Such vesting shall be contingent, at the discretion of the Company, upon the Employee executing a general release (which may include an agreement with respect to engagement in detrimental activity, in a form acceptable to the Company) and such release becoming effective and irrevocable within the 60-day period following such termination.

Termination without Cause. In the event the Employee involuntarily ceases to be an employee of the Employer on or after the nine-month anniversary of the grant date and prior to a Change in Control for any reason other than due to death, Disability or a termination for Cause, the number of RSUs scheduled to vest on the Vesting Date immediately following such termination, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall be prorated based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months elapsed since the most recent Vesting Date immediately preceding such date of termination (or, in the event such termination is prior to the first Vesting Date, the number of full months elapsed since the Date of Grant) and the denominator of which is 12, and any remaining RSUs shall be forfeited. Such prorated number of RSUs, and any dividend equivalents with respect thereto, shall immediately vest and shall be settled in accordance with Section 2 within 60 days following the Vesting Date immediately following such termination; provided that such vesting shall be contingent, at the discretion of the Company, upon the Employee executing a general release (which may include an agreement with respect to engagement in detrimental activity in a form acceptable to the Company) and such release becoming effective and irrevocable within the 60-day period following such termination. In the event the Employee involuntarily ceases to be an employee of the Employer prior to the nine-month anniversary of the grant date, the RSUs shall be cancelled and forfeited on the date of such termination.
