BLUEARC CORPORATION CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.7
BLUEARC CORPORATION
CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
This Change of Control Severance Agreement (the Agreement) is made and entered into by and between Michael B. Gustafson (Executive) and BlueArc Corporation (the Company), effective as of June 1, 2009 (the Effective Date).
RECITALS
A. It is expected that the Company from time to time will consider the possibility of an acquisition by another company or other change of control. The Board of Directors of the Company (the Board) recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to Executive and can cause Executive to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined herein) of the Company.
B. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide Executive with an incentive to continue his employment and to motivate Executive to maximize the value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its stockholders.
C. The Board believes that it is imperative to provide Executive with certain benefits upon Executives termination of employment following a Change of Control. These benefits will provide Executive with enhanced financial security and incentive and encouragement to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of a Change of Control.
D. Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 5 below.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement will terminate upon the date that all of the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied.
2. At-Will Employment. The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executives employment is and will continue to be at-will. As an at-will employee, either the Company or the Executive may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause. If Executives employment terminates for any reason, including (without limitation) any termination prior to a Change of Control, Executive will not be entitled to any payments, benefits, damages, awards or compensation other than as provided by this Agreement or as provided in any employment agreement entered into between the Company and Employee, and the payment of accrued but unpaid wages, as required by law, and any unreimbursed reimbursable expenses.
3. Severance Benefits.
(a) Involuntary Termination without Cause and Not in Connection with a Change of Control. If the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) terminates Executives employment without Cause and Executive signs and does not revoke a standard release of claims with the Company in a form reflected in Exhibit A hereto, provided that such release of claims becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the termination date or such earlier date required by the release agreement (such deadline, the Release Deadline), then subject to this Section 3, Executive will receive the following:
(i) Severance Payment. Executive will receive severance pay (less applicable withholding taxes) in the form of a lump sum payment equivalent to six (6) months of Executives base salary (as in effect immediately prior to Executives termination).
(ii) Continued Employee Benefits. If Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (COBRA) for periods of coverage beyond that permitted by COBRA for Executive and Executives eligible dependents within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA, the Company will reimburse Executive for the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executives termination) until the earlier of (A) a period of six (6) months from the last date of employment of the Executive with the Company, or (B) the date upon which Executive and/or Executives eligible dependents becomes covered under similar plans. The reimbursements will be made by the Company to Executive consistent with the Companys normal expense reimbursement policy.
(b) Involuntary Termination Following a Change of Control. If on or within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) terminates Executives employment without Cause, or the Executive resigns from such employment for Good Reason, and Executive signs and does not revoke a standard release of claims with the Company in a form reflected in Exhibit A hereto, provided that such release of claims becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the termination date or such earlier date required by the release agreement (such deadline, the Release Deadline), then subject to this Section 3 and in lieu of any severance benefits under Section 3(a), Executive will receive the following:
(i) Severance Payment. Executive will receive severance pay (less applicable withholding taxes) in the form of a lump sum payment equivalent to six (6) months of Executives base salary (as in effect immediately prior to (A) the Change of Control, or (B) Executives termination, whichever is greater).
(ii) Continued Employee Benefits. If Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA for periods of coverage beyond that permitted by COBRA for Executive and Executives eligible dependents within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA, the Company will reimburse Executive for the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executives termination) until the earlier of (A) a period of six (6) months] from the last date of employment of the Executive with the Company, or

(B) the date upon which Executive and/or Executives eligible dependents becomes covered under similar plans. The reimbursements will be made by the Company to Executive consistent with the Companys normal expense reimbursement policy.
(iii) Equity Awards. One hundred percent (100%) of Executives then outstanding and unvested awards relating to the Companys common stock (whether stock options, stock appreciation rights, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units or otherwise (collectively, the Equity Awards)) will vest and thereafter otherwise will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Equity Award agreement.
(c) Timing of Payments.
(i) If the release of claims does not become effective by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to severance or benefits under this Agreement. In no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the release of claims becomes effective and irrevocable. In the event the termination occurs at a time during the calendar year when the release of claims could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executives termination occurs (whether or not it actually becomes effective in the following year), then any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Compensation Severance Benefits (as defined in Section 3(g)(i) 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, the latest to occur of: (A) the date the release of claims becomes effective and irrevocable, (B) such time as required by the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit as set forth in Section 3(a) or 3(b), as applicable, or (C) such time as required by Section 3(g).
(ii) Unless otherwise required by Section 3(g), the Company will pay any severance payments set forth in Section 3(a) or Section 3(b), as applicable, in a lump-sum payment payable within fifteen (15) days following Executives termination date; provided, however, that no severance or other benefits, other than the accrued compensation set forth in Section 3(h), will be paid or provided until the release of claims becomes effective and irrevocable, and such severance amounts or benefits otherwise payable between Executives termination date and the date such release becomes effective and irrevocable will be paid on the date the release becomes effective and irrevocable. If Executive should die before all of the severance amounts have been paid, such unpaid amounts will be paid in a lump-sum payment promptly following such event to Executives designated beneficiary, if living, or otherwise to the personal representative of Executives estate.
(d) Voluntary Resignation; Termination For Cause. If Executives employment with the Company terminates (i) voluntarily by Executive (other than for Good Reason during the period that is on or within twelve (12) following a Change of Control) or (ii) for Cause by the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company), then Executive will not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may then be established under the Companys then existing severance and benefits plans or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company.
-3-
(e) Disability; Death. If the Company terminates Executives employment as a result of Executives Disability, or Executives employment terminates due to his death, then Executive will not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may then be established under the Companys then existing written severance and benefits plans and practices or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company.
(f) Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of Executives employment with the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company), the provisions of this Section 3 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this Agreement. Executive will be entitled to no benefits, compensation or other payments or rights upon termination of employment other than those benefits expressly set forth in this Section 3.
(g) Section 409A.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (Section 409A) (together, the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits) will be payable until Executive has a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executives termination (other than due to death), then the Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executives 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 Executives 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 Executives separation from service but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the separation, 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 Executives 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 separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
(iii) 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 will not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (i) above.
(iv) 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
-4-
the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) will not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (i) above.
(v) 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.
(h) Accrued Wages and Vacation; Expenses. Without regard to the reason for, or the timing of, Executives termination of employment: (i) the Company will pay Executive any unpaid base salary due for periods prior to the Termination Date; (ii) the Company will pay Executive all of Executives accrued and unused vacation through the Termination Date; and (iii) following submission of proper expense reports by Executive, the Company will reimburse Executive for all expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred by Executive in connection with the business of the Company prior to the Termination Date. These payments will be made promptly upon termination and within the period of time mandated by law.
4. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section 4, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executives severance benefits under Section 4(a)(i) will be either:
(a) delivered in full, or
(b) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in severance and other benefits constituting parachute payments is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order: reduction of cash payments; cancellation of awards granted contingent on a change in ownership or control (within the meaning of Code Section 280G), cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Employees equity awards.
Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 4 will be made in writing by the Companys independent public accountants immediately prior to Change of Control (the Accountants), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making
-5-
the calculations required by this Section 4, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 4.
5. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement will have the following meanings:
(a) Cause. Cause is defined as: (i) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to your obligations or otherwise relating to the business of the Company; (ii) felony conviction of, or felony plea or nolo contender for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, or a felony crime of moral turpitude or conviction of fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement; (iii) willfully or negligently exposing the Company to a risk of civil or criminal legal damages, liabilities or penalties; (iv) violation or breach of any fiduciary duty or (v) violation of breach of any contractual duty to the Company which duty is material to the performance of your duties or responsibilities or results in material damage to the company or its business; (vi) breach of your Confidential Information Agreement with the Company; or (vii) engaging in any other act of dishonesty, fraud, intentional misrepresentation, illegality or harassment, which, as determined in good faith by the Board, is reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the business or reputation of the Company with its current or prospective customers, suppliers, lenders and/or other third parties with whom it does or might do business.

(ii) the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Companys assets;
