Exhibit 10.33
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED APRIA, INC.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
(2019 2021 With Successive Annual Extension Options)
1. | Purpose. The purpose of the Second Amended and Restated Apria, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan), as documented herein, is to provide long-term incentive compensation to certain senior and executive officers of the Company in order to incentivize them to deliver the desired Free Cash Flow improvement and the transformational changes over a period of multiple years in order to position the Company properly for the future. |
2. | Definitions. In addition to any other terms that may be defined herein, capitalized words, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and made a part of the Plan for all purposes. |
3. | Eligibility and Participation |
(a) | From time to time, the Committee, or its designee, may identify any employee or officer of the Company with the title of Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President or Executive Vice President of the Company, or another position identified by the Committee as being of similar rank or responsibility, as an eligible Participant for participation in the Plan. An eligible officer becomes a participant in the Plan (a Participant) upon issuance of an award letter to such individual (an Award Notice) by the Company. However, no individual may become a Participant in the Plan for a Performance Period if the Participant was not employed in an eligible position on the first day of such Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board, and not a designee of the Board, is responsible for determining the terms of participation by the Chief Executive Officer. |
(b) | Each Participant will be eligible to receive and earn an Incentive Award in accordance with the terms of the Plan and as specified in the Award Notice delivered to such Participant. The Committee shall specify a target amount (referred to herein as the Target Bonus Amount), in each respective Award Notice. Subject to the terms of the Plan, a percentage ranging from 0% to 200% of the Target Bonus Amount may be payable to the Participant as such employees Incentive Award under the Plan. The foregoing notwithstanding, however, without the prior consent of the Committee, the aggregate Target Bonus Amounts for all Incentive Awards for any Performance Period outstanding at any time may not exceed $1,100,000, and the maximum amount paid in respect of all Incentive Awards on an aggregate basis for any Performance Period may not exceed $2,200,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incentive Awards may be granted following the IPO. |
4. | Determination of Award Amounts and Timing of Payments |
(a) | Achievement of Performance Objectives. As soon as practicable following the last day of each Performance Period, the Committee shall calculate Cumulative Free Cash Flow for such Performance Period. The determination of the Committee of the amount of Cumulative Free Cash Flow shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes under the Plan and on all Participants. |
(b) | Determination of Incentive Award Amounts. Subject, in all cases, to adjustment or elimination under the vesting and other provisions of the Plan, including without limitation the other provisions of this Section 4, the amount payable with respect to Incentive Awards shall be determined as follows: |
(i) | If Cumulative Free Cash Flow is less than the Free Cash Flow Threshold Amount, then no amount shall be payable in respect of any Incentive Award. |
(ii) | If Cumulative Free Cash Flow equals the Free Cash Flow Threshold Amount, the amount payable in respect of each outstanding Incentive Award shall be equal to the product of (A) the Vested Percentage of such Incentive Award, multiplied by (B) the Target Amount of such Incentive Award, multiplied by (C) 50%. |
(iii) | If Cumulative Free Cash Flow exceeds the Free Cash Flow Threshold Amount but is less than the Free Cash Flow Target Amount, the amount payable in respect of each outstanding Incentive Award shall be equal to the product of (A) the Vested Percentage of such Incentive Award, multiplied by (B) the Target Amount, multiplied by (C) a percentage between 50% and 100% (inclusive), with such percentage calculated using linear interpolation between 50% (if Cumulative Free Cash Flow equals the Free Cash Flow Threshold Amount) and 100% (if Cumulative Free Cash Flow is equal to the Free Cash Flow Target Amount). |
(iv) | If Cumulative Free Cash Flow equals the Free Cash Flow Target Amount, the amount payable in respect of each outstanding Incentive Award shall be equal to the product of (A) the Vested Percentage of such Incentive Award, multiplied by (B) the Target Amount of such Incentive Award, multiplied by (C) 100%. |
(v) | If Cumulative Free Cash Flow exceeds the Free Cash Flow Target Amount, the amount payable in respect of each outstanding Incentive Award shall be equal to the product of (A) the Vested Percentage of such Incentive Award, multiplied by (B) the Target Amount of such Incentive Award, multiplied by (C) a percentage between 100% and 200% (inclusive), with such percentage calculated using linear interpolation between 100% (if Cumulative Free Cash Flow equals the Free Cash Flow Target Amount) and 200% (if Cumulative Free Cash Flow is equal to or greater than the Free Cash Flow Stretch Goal). |
2
(vi) | Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (b)(i) through (b)(v) above, the Committee shall have the discretion to fund an increase in an Incentive Award for Participants in an amount to be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion if the Cumulative Free Cash Flow is less than the Free Cash Flow Threshold, Free Cash Flow Target, or Free Cash Flow Stretch Goal, so long as the maximum amount paid in respect of all Incentive Awards on an aggregate basis for any Performance Period does not exceed $2,200,000. |
(c) | The foregoing provisions of Section 4(b) notwithstanding, if a Participants status as an employee or officer is terminated by the Company or its Subsidiaries without Cause, or as the result of the Participants Retirement (as defined in the Apria Healthcare Group Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended and restated effective July 23, 2008, as amended), the amount payable in respect of the Participants outstanding Incentive Award shall be equal to the lesser of (x) the product of (A) the amount payable with respect to such Incentive Award as determined under Section 4(b) above and (B) a fraction in which the numerator is the same number of complete fiscal quarters that are counted for purposes of determining the Vested Percentage in accordance with Section 4(f)(ii) and the denominator is twelve (12) and (y) the amount calculated by making the calculations provided for in clause 4(c)(A) above with the following adjustments: |
(i) | The Free Cash Flow Threshold Amount, Free Cash Flow Target Amount and Free Cash Flow Stretch Goal, respectively, shall be sum of the Quarterly Free Cash Flow Threshold Amounts, Quarterly Free Cash Flow Target Amounts and Quarterly Free Cash Flow Stretch Goals calculated in accordance with Exhibit B for the fiscal quarters during the applicable Performance Period during which the Participant was a Participant, including the fiscal quarter in which the Participants employment was terminated without cause or due to Retirement. |
(ii) | The Cumulative Free Cash Flow shall be the Cumulative Free Cash Flow for the fiscal quarters during the applicable Performance Period during which the Participant was a Participant, including the fiscal quarter in which the Participants employment was terminated without cause or due to Retirement. |
(iii) | The Vested Percentage shall be 100%. |
(d) | Change of Control. If any Performance Period terminates on or prior to December 31 of the third (3rd) year thereof as the result of the occurrence of a Change of Control, the amount payable in respect of each vested Incentive Award shall be determined by the Committee based on actual performance through the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter, measured using only the number of fiscal quarters completed prior to the date of such Change of Control, calculated in accordance with Exhibit B. |
3
(e) | Time and Form of Payment. |
(i) | General.

(f) | Vesting. |
(i) | Initially, all Incentive Awards shall be unvested. An Incentive Award shall be considered vested for purposes of the Plan only in the percentage, and to the extent, that such Incentive Award becomes vested under the terms of the Plan. Payments under the Plan are only made with respect to the vested portion of Incentive Awards, sometimes referred to herein as the vested Incentive Award. |
(ii) | Commencing with the fiscal quarter in which the Performance Period Start Date of the applicable Performance Period occurs (such date, the Vesting Start Date), and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) December 31 of the last year of the applicable Performance Period, or (ii) the last day of the fiscal quarter in which a Participants employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries is terminated without Cause or due to the Participants Retirement, the Vested Percentage shall equal the product of (x) the number of fiscal quarters completed or commenced since the Vesting Start Date and (y) 81/3% up to a maximum of 100 percentage points (such vested portion, the Vested Percentage); provided that, for the Initial Performance Period, on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the Effective Date occurs, each |
5
outstanding Incentive Award granted with respect to the Initial Performance Period shall become vested as to a percentage of such Incentive Award, equal to the product of (x) the number of fiscal quarters completed or commenced since January 1, 2019, and (y) 81/3%. If a Participants status as an employee or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries is terminated by the Company or its Subsidiaries without Cause or due to the Participants Retirement, the percentage of such Participants Incentive Award that is vested shall be calculated assuming the Participant continued to be employed through the end of the then-current fiscal quarter, and such Vested Percentage of the Incentive Award shall remain outstanding and eligible to receive a payment in accordance with Section 4 hereof. |
(iii) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Vested Percentage with respect to each then-outstanding Incentive Award shall increase by an additional 25.0 percentage points on the date of a Change of Control, subject to either (x) the Participant remaining an active employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries through such date or (y) the Participants employment having been terminated by the Company or its Subsidiaries without Cause or due to the Participants Retirement (and not otherwise as a result of the Participants death or Disability) prior to the date of such Change of Control, provided that any portion of an Incentive Award that is unvested as of the date of the consummation of a Change of Control (such date, a Closing Date), taking into account any vesting on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Plan, shall cease to vest and shall be forfeited as of the Closing Date. |

7. | General Provisions. |
(a) | Compliance with Legal Requirements.

(b) | 409A of the Code. |
(i) | Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, it is intended that the provisions of this Plan are exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code, and all provisions of this Plan shall be construed, interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Each Participant is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on or in respect of such Participant in connection with this Plan or any other plan maintained by the Company (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold such Participant (or any beneficiary) harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties. The Company makes no guarantee of any federal, state, or local tax consequences with respect to the interpretation of Section 409A of the Code and its application to the terms of the Plan or any Incentive Awards and the Company shall have no liability for any adverse tax consequences to the Participant as a result of any violation of Section 409A of the Code. If an unintentional operational failure occurs with respect to Section 409A requirements, any affected Participant or beneficiary shall fully cooperate with the Company to correct the failure, to the extent possible, in accordance with any correction procedure established by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. With respect to any Incentive Award that is considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, references |

in the Plan to termination of employment (and substantially similar phrases) shall mean separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each of the payments that may be made in respect of any Incentive Awards granted under the Plan is designated as separate payments. |
(ii) | Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, in the event that the timing of payments in respect of any Incentive Awards (that would otherwise be considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code) would be accelerated upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, no such acceleration shall be permitted unless the event giving rise to the Change of Control satisfies the definition of a change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation pursuant to Section 409A of the Code and any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. |
(c) | No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the employ of the Company or its Subsidiaries or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate such Participants employment. |
(d) | Withholding Taxes. The Company and its Subsidiaries may deduct from all payments and distributions under the Plan any taxes required to be withheld by federal, state or local governments. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to any payments or distributions delivered to a Participant in Company Common Shares upon settlement of an Incentive Award, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit such Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by (A) the delivery of Company Common Shares (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value on the date of settlement of such Incentive Award equal to such withholding liability or (B) having the Company withhold from the number Company Common Shares otherwise issuable or deliverable, a number of shares with a Fair Market Value on the date of settlement of such Incentive Award equal to such withholding liability, provided that with respect to shares withheld pursuant to clause (B), the number of such shares may not have a Fair Market Value greater than the minimum required statutory withholding liability. |
(e) | Amendment and Termination of the Plan. Subject to Section 6(a) hereof, the Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, provided that no such alteration, amendment, suspension, or termination may materially adversely affect any vested right of a Participant. |
(f) | Participant Rights. Nothing in the Plan shall give any Participant any claim to be granted any Incentive Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment among Participants. |
9
(g) | Unfunded Status of Incentive Awards. The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments which at any time are not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Incentive Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Incentive Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. |
(h) | Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. |
(i) | Governing Law. The Plan and the rights of all persons claiming hereunder shall be construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof. |
(j) | Effective Date. The Plan shall first be effective as of the date of the closing of the IPO. |
