The Deferred Agreement Sample for 501 in New York outlines a compensation arrangement between an employer and a key employee. This form is designed to retain vital employees until retirement by providing a stable post-retirement income, which supplements the existing pension plan. Key features include detailed sections for the employer and employee's information, specific performance obligations, and compensation details, along with provisions for payment schedules and terms surrounding termination of benefits. The form highlights scenarios in which additional compensation is provided, emphasizing the need for employer consent if the employee engages in outside services. In the case of the employee's death before full payment, it stipulates a lump sum payment to the surviving spouse or estate.

It serves to ensure clarity in financial obligations and protects both parties' interests.
