Code Section 409a Contract Clauses (1,627)

Code Section 409a. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent this Award may be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement under Code Section 409A, then the following limitation and provisions shall apply: - No Shares or other amounts which become issuable or distributable under this Agreement upon Participant's Separation from Service shall actually be issued or distributed to Participant prior to the earlier of (i) the first (1st) day of the seventh (7th) month follo...wing the date of such Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Participant's death, if Participant is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations issued under Code Section 409A, as determined by the Plan Administrator in accordance with consistent and uniform standards applied to all other Code Section 409A arrangements of the Corporation, and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2). The deferred Shares or other distributable amount shall be issued or distributed in a lump sum on the first (1st) day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of Participant's Separation from Service or, if earlier, the first day of the month immediately following the date the Corporation receives proof of Participant's death. - Participant's right to receive each installment of Shares or other installment distribution pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall, for purposes of Code Section 409A, be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments.

Code Section 409a. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits (as defined below) or other severance benefits that are exempt from Section 409A (as defined below) pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will become payable under this Agreement until Executive has a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and any proposed or final regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder ("Section 409A"). Further..., if Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive's separation from service (other than due to death), and the severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the "Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits"), such Deferred Compensation Separation Payments that are otherwise payable within the first six (6) months following Executive's separation from service will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive's separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following his termination but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of his separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive's death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. (b) Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the "short-term deferral" rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations shall not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of Section 26(a) above. Any severance payment that entitles Executive to taxable reimbursements or taxable in-kind benefits covered by Section 1.409A-1(b)(8)(v) shall not constitute a Deferred Compensation Separation Benefit. (c) Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) shall not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of Section 26(a) above. For purposes of this Section 26(c), "Section 409A Limit" will mean the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Executive's annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during his taxable year preceding Executive's taxable year of Executive's separation from service as determined under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1); or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive's employment is terminated. (d) The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.

Code Section 409a. This Section 13 applies if the Executive is subject to taxation under the Code. This Agreement and the amounts payable and other benefits provided under this Agreement are intended to comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code ("Section 409A"), after giving effect to the exemptions in Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(b)(3) through (b)(12). This Agreement shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with Section 409A. If any provision of this... Agreement is found not to comply with, or otherwise not be exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A, it shall be modified and given effect, in the sole discretion of the Board and without requiring the Executive's consent, in such manner as the Board determines to be necessary or appropriate to comply with, or to effectuate an exemption from, Section 409A; provided, however, that in exercising its discretion under this Section 13, the Board shall modify this Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary and without reducing any payment or benefit due under this Agreement. Each payment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A. With respect to any reimbursement of expenses of, or any provision of in-kind benefits to, the Executive, as specified under this Agreement, such reimbursement of expenses or provision of in-kind benefits shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in 10 any other taxable year, except for any medical reimbursement arrangement providing for the reimbursement of expenses referred to in Section 105(b) of the Code; (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made as specified in this Agreement and in no event later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefit shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. If a payment obligation under this Agreement arises on account of a Change in Control or the Executive's termination of employment and such payment obligation constitutes "deferred compensation" (as defined under Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(b)(1), after giving effect to the exemptions in Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(b)(3) through (b)(12)), it shall be payable only if the Change in Control constitutes a Control Change Event or after the Executive's Separation from Service, as applicable; provided, however, that if the Executive is a Specified Employee, any such payment that is scheduled to be paid within six months after such Separation from Service shall accrue without interest and shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month beginning after the date of the Executive's Separation from Service or, if earlier, within fifteen days after the appointment of the personal representative or executor of the Executive's estate following the Executive's death.

Code Section 409a. (a) General. This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from or compliant with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (and any applicable transition relief under Section 409A of the Code). Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Agreement is not... warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company nor its directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by Executive as a result of the application of Section 409A of the Code. (b) Definitional Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt "deferred compensation" for purposes of Section 409A of the Code ("Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation") would otherwise be payable hereunder by reason of Executive's termination of employment, such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation will not be payable to Executive by reason of such circumstance unless the circumstances giving rise to such termination of employment meet any description or definition of "separation from service" in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition). This provision does not affect the dollar amount or prohibit the vesting of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation upon a termination of employment, however defined. If this provision prevents the payment of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, such payment shall be made at the time and in the form that would have applied absent the non-409A-conforming event. 6 (c) Six-Month Delay in Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Agreement by reason of Executive's separation from service during a period in which he is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Company under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes): (i) the amount of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following Executive's separation from service will be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first day of the seventh month following Executive's separation from service (or, if Executive dies during such period, within 30 days after Executive's death) (in either case, the "Required Delay Period"); and (ii) the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume at the end of the Required Delay Period. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Specified Employee" has the meaning given such term in Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder. (e) Timing of Release of Claims. Whenever in this Agreement a payment or benefit is conditioned on Executive's execution of a release of claims, such release must be executed and all revocation periods shall have expired within 60 days after the Date of Termination; failing which such payment or benefit shall be forfeited. If such payment or benefit constitutes Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, then, subject to subsection (c) above, such payment or benefit (including any installment payments) that would have otherwise been payable during such 60-day period shall be accumulated and paid on the 60th day after the Date of Termination provided such release shall have been executed and such revocation periods shall have expired. If such payment or benefit is exempt from Section 409A of the Code, the Company may elect to make or commence payment at any time during such period. (f) Timing of Reimbursements and In-kind Benefits. If Executive is entitled to be paid or reimbursed for any taxable expenses under this Agreement and such payments or reimbursements are includible in Executive's federal gross taxable income, the amount of such expenses reimbursable in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount reimbursable in any other calendar year, and the reimbursement of an eligible expense must be made no later than December 31 of the year after the year in which the expense was incurred. No right of Executive to reimbursement of expenses under Section 4 shall be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. View More

Code Section 409a. The RSUs are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the rules and regulations issued thereunder and will be administered accordingly. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if the RSUs constitute "deferred compensation" under Section 409A of the Code, and if any RSUs become eligible to be settled upon the Grantee's termination of employment, such settlement may only be made upon a "separation from s...ervice" as defined under Section 409A of the Code. If the Grantee is deemed by the Company at the time of the Grantee's separation from service to be a "specified employee" for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent delayed commencement of settlement to which the Grantee is entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid subjecting the Grantee to additional tax or interest (or both) 9 BROWN & BROWN, INC.RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT(Key Corporate Leaders / Profit Center Leaders / Other Leaders) under Section 409A of the Code, then any such settlement will not occur prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of the separation from service or (ii) the date of the Grantee's death. Any settlement deferred pursuant to the preceding sentence will occur on the first business day following the expiration of the applicable period. The settlement of each portion of the RSUs that is scheduled to vest on the Scheduled Vesting Date under Section 2 of this Agreement, and each payment of Dividend Equivalents, will be deemed a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. The settlement of RSUs may not be accelerated by the Company except to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code. The Committee may, however, accelerate the vesting of RSUs, without changing the settlement terms of such RSUs. The Committee reserves the right, to the extent the Committee deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Agreement to ensure that all RSUs and related Dividend Equivalents are exempt from or otherwise have terms that comply, and in operation comply, with Section 409A of the Code (including, without limitation, the avoidance of penalties thereunder). If any mandatory term required for RSUs or related Dividend Equivalents to avoid tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code is not otherwise explicitly provided under this Agreement or the Plan, such term is hereby incorporated by reference and fully applicable as if set forth in this Agreement.
