COBRA Benefits Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Policy, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the COBRA Benefits without potentially violating applicable laws (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended), then in lieu of such COBRA Benefits, and subject to any delay required by the Section below entitled Section 409A, the Company will provide to an Eligible Executive a taxable lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the product of (A) the number of months of COBRA Benefits specified in an Eligible Executive’s Participation Agreement, as applicable, multiplied by (B) the monthly COBRA premium that they otherwise would be required to pay to continue the group health, dental and vision coverage for themself and their eligible dependents, as applicable, as in effect on the date of termination of such Eligible Executive’s employment (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage for themself and their eligible dependents), which payment will be made regardless of whether such Eligible Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage (the “Taxable Payment”). The Taxable Payment may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Policy, if the Company determines in its sole discretion at any time that it cannot provide the COBRA Benefits or the Taxable Payment without violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended), an Eligible Executive will not receive any COBRA Benefits or Taxable Payment under this Policy.
Non-Duplication of Payment or Benefits: If (a) an Eligible Executive’s Qualified Termination occurs prior to a Change in Control that qualifies them for severance payments and benefits payable on a Non-CIC Qualified Termination under this Policy and (b) a Change in Control occurs within the 3-month period following their Qualified Termination that qualifies them for the superior severance payments and benefits payable on a CIC Qualified Termination under this Policy, then (i) they will cease receiving any further payments or benefits under this Policy in connection with their Non-CIC Qualified Termination and (ii) the Equity Benefits, Salary Severance, Bonus Severance, and COBRA Payment, as applicable, otherwise payable upon a CIC Qualified Termination under this Policy each will be offset by the corresponding
payments or benefits they already received under this Policy in connection with their Non-CIC Qualified Termination.
Death of Eligible Executive: If the Eligible Executive dies before all payments or benefits they are entitled to receive under this Policy have been paid, then (i) COBRA Benefits will cease, and (ii) other such unpaid amounts will be paid to their designated beneficiary, if living, or otherwise to their personal representative in a lump-sum payment as soon as possible following their death.
Recoupment: All payments or benefits under this Policy shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, recoupment, reimbursement, or reacquisition under the Company’s Amended and Restated Compensation Recovery Policy or any other clawback policy of the Company as may be established and/or amended from time to time to comply with applicable laws (including, without limitation, pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable laws) (in each case, a “Clawback Policy”). The Administrator may require an Eligible Executive to forfeit, return, or reimburse the Company all or a portion of benefits or any amounts paid hereunder pursuant to the terms of any applicable Clawback Policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws.
Release: The Eligible Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon their Qualified Termination under this Policy is subject to the Eligible Executive signing and not revoking the Company’s then-standard separation agreement and release of claims (the “Release” and such requirement, the “Release Requirement”), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the 60th day following their Qualified Termination (the “Release Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, the Eligible Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under this Policy. In no event will severance payments or benefits under the Policy be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective and irrevocable. In the event a Qualified Termination occurs at a time during the calendar year where the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which an Eligible Executive’s Qualified Termination occurs, then any severance payments or benefits under this Policy that would be considered Deferred Payments (as defined below) will be paid on the first payroll date to occur during the calendar year following the calendar year in which such termination occurs, or, if later, (i) the Release Deadline, or (ii) such time as required by the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit as set forth in an applicable Participation Agreement, provided that, except as otherwise set forth in their Participation Agreement or to the extent that payments are delayed under the paragraph below entitled “Section 409A,” on the first regular payroll pay day following the 60th day following their Qualified Termination, the Company will pay or provide them the severance payments and benefits that they would otherwise have received under this Policy on or prior to such date, with the balance of such severance payments and benefits being paid or provided as originally scheduled.
Definitions: Unless otherwise defined in an Eligible Executive’s Participation Agreement, the following terms will have the following meanings for purposes of this Policy and the Eligible Executive’s Participation Agreement:
“Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of an entity that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as it has been and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder from time to time.
Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.
Other Provisions
You agree that the Policy and the Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersede in their entirety all prior representations, understandings, undertakings or agreements (whether oral or written and whether expressed or implied) of the parties, and will specifically supersede any severance and/or change in control provisions of any offer letter, employment agreement, or equity award agreement entered into between you and the Company, other than as set forth in a Superseding Equity Agreement (including equity awards granted under the Company’s long-term incentive plan).
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
