Agreement

 

In consideration of the following obligations, the Parties agree as follows.

 

1.             Effective Date and Separation Date.   The “Effective Date” shall mean April 11, 2010.  Effective as of the Effective Date, Executive shall be deemed to have retired and/or resigned from all positions with the Company and all affiliates thereof, including without limitation, offices, committee memberships and Board membership, if any, other than the position of “president emeritus” as provided herein.  On April 12, 2010, the Company announced (i) Executive’s retirement from the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer and his resignation as a member of the board of directors (and any committee thereof) of the Company, and (ii) Executive’s appointment to the honorary position of “president emeritus.”  The Company may announce the terms of this Agreement when and as it deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall remain employed by the Company through the expiration of the Transition Period on the terms and conditions provided herein; provided that Executive’s employment is not earlier terminated for Cause, as defined below.  The final date of Executive’s employment (for any reason) shall be referred to herein as the “Separation Date.”  As of the Separation Date, Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from Executive’s then current position as an employee of the Company (and any other position Employee may then hold with the Company and any of its affiliates, if any).

 



 

2.             Transition Period.

 

(a)           Transition Period Defined.  Provided that Executive is not earlier terminated for Cause, the Company will continue to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to continue in the employ of the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2010 (the “Transition Period”).

 

(b)           Position and Duties During Transition.  During the Transition Period:  (A) Executive shall serve as “president emeritus,” or in such other position as may be reasonably designated by the Company, with such duties, authorities and responsibilities as may reasonably be assigned to Executive by the Company, and shall report to Paul Jacobs; and (B) Executive’s services shall primarily be performed in Greenwood Village, Colorado, although Executive agrees to travel to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the duties contemplated by this Agreement.  During the Transition Period, Executive agrees to devote sufficient time and attention during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company as reasonably directed or specified by the Company, and, to the extent necessary to discharge Executive’s responsibilities hereunder, to use Executive’s reasonable best efforts to perform such responsibilities in accordance with this Agreement, Company policies and applicable law.  It is expressly agreed that Executive’s position with the Company during the Transition Period shall be as an employee of the Company, but not as an officer of any kind of the Company, and that Executive’s title as “president emeritus” does not imply that Executive is, nor does it create any right in Executive to be, an officer of the Company.

(iii)          Welfare Benefit Plans.  During the Transition Period, Executive and Executive’s spouse and dependents, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and its affiliates (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) on the terms and conditions made available to employees of the Company generally, or, if materially

entity, or self-regulatory organization, that relates to or arises from any matter with which Executive was involved during Executive’s employment with the Company, or that concerns any matter of which Executive has information or knowledge (collectively, a “Proceeding”).  Executive’s duty of cooperation includes, but is not limited to:  (i) meeting with the Company’s attorneys by telephone or in person at mutually convenient times and places in order to state truthfully Executive’s recollection of events; (ii) appearing at the Company’s request as a witness at depositions or trials, without the necessity of a subpoena, in order to state truthfully Executive’s knowledge of matters at issue; and (iii) signing at the Company’s request declarations or affidavits that truthfully state matters of fact of which Executive has personal knowledge obtained during the course of Executive’s relationship with the Company.  The Company’s duty of cooperation includes, but is not limited to providing Executive and Executive’s counsel access to documents, information, witnesses and the Company’s legal counsel as is reasonably necessary to litigate on behalf of Executive in any Proceeding.   In addition, Executive agrees to promptly notify the Company’s General Counsel of any requests for information or testimony that Executive receives in connection with any litigation or investigation relating to the Company’s business, and the Company agrees to notify Executive of any requests for information or testimony that it receives relating to Executive.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed or applied so as to require any Party to violate any confidentiality agreement or understanding with any third party, nor shall it be construed or applied so as to compel any Party to take any action, or omit to take any action, requested or directed by any regulatory or law enforcement authority.  The Company shall exercise reasonable good faith efforts to minimize the extent to which its requests for cooperation pursuant to this section conflict with Executive’s prior professional and personal commitments, and shall reimburse Executive for the expenses that Executive reasonably and necessarily incurs in honoring Executive’s duty of cooperation under this section, provided that Executive has secured the Company’s prior consent to incur such expenses.  The Company shall not be required to compensate Executive for the first forty (40) hours spent by Executive in the performance of such assistance, but thereafter, the Company shall provide Executive with reasonable hourly compensation for any such hours in excess of such forty (40) hour threshold.

 

12.        Legal Releases.

 

(a)           Executive, on behalf of Executive and Executive’s heirs, personal representatives and assigns, and any other person or entity that could or might act on behalf of Executive, including, without limitation, Executive’s counsel (all of whom are collectively referred to as “Executive Releasers”), hereby fully and forever releases and discharges the Company, its present and future affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of their past, present and future officers, directors, employees, shareholders, independent contractors, attorneys, insurers and any and all other persons or entities that are now or may become liable to any Releaser due to any Releasee’s act or omission, (all of whom are collectively referred to as “Executive Releasees”) of and from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, of every kind and nature whatsoever, in law or in equity, whether now known or unknown, that Executive Releasers, or any person acting under any of them, may now have, or

 

13



 

claim at any future time to have, based in whole or in part upon any act or omission occurring on or before the Execution Date, without regard to present actual knowledge of such acts or omissions, including specifically, but not by way of limitation, matters which may arise at common law, such as breach of contract, express or implied, promissory estoppel, wrongful discharge, tortious interference with contractual rights, infliction of emotional distress, defamation, or under federal, state or local laws, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the National Labor Relations Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Equal Pay Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and any civil rights law of any state or other governmental body; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement, the release set forth in this Section shall not extend to:  (i) any rights arising under this Agreement; or (ii) any vested rights under any pension, retirement, profit sharing or similar plan; or (iii) Executive’s rights, if any, to indemnification, and/or defense under any Company certificate of incorporation, bylaw and/or policy or procedure, or under any insurance contract, in connection with Executive’s acts an omissions within the course and scope of Executive’s employment with the Company.  Executive hereby warrants that Executive has not assigned or transferred to any person any portion of any claim which is released, waived and discharged above.  Executive further states and agrees that Executive has not experienced any illness, injury, or disability that is compensable or recoverable under the worker’s compensation laws of any state that was not reported to the Company by Executive before the Execution Date, and Executive agrees not to not file a worker’s compensation claim asserting the existence of any such previously undisclosed illness, injury, or disability.  Executive has specifically consulted with counsel with respect to the agreements, representations, and declarations set forth in the previous sentence.  Executive understands and agrees that by signing this Agreement Executive is giving up any right to bring any legal claim against the Company concerning, directly or indirectly, Executive’s employment relationship with the Company, including Executive’s separation from employment.  Executive agrees that this legal release is intended to be interpreted in the broadest possible manner in favor of the Company, to include all actual or potential legal claims that Executive may have against the Company, except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement.

 

(b)           The Company, for itself, its affiliates, and any other person or entity that could or might act on behalf of it including, without limitation, its  officers, directors and attorneys (all of whom are collectively referred to as “Company Releasers”), hereby fully and forever release and discharge Executive, Executive’s heirs, representatives, assigns, attorneys, and any and all other persons or entities that are now or may become liable to any Company Releaser on account of Executive’s employment with the Company or separation therefrom (all of whom are collectively referred to as “Company Releasees”) of and from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, of every kind and nature whatsoever, in law or in equity, whether now known or unknown, that the Company Releasers, or any person acting under any of them, may now have, or claim at any future time to have, based in whole or in part upon any act or omission relating to Employee’s employment with the Company or separation therefrom, without regard to

 

14



 

present actual knowledge of such acts or omissions; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement, the release set forth in this Section shall not extend to:  (i) any rights arising under this Agreement; or (ii) a breach of fiduciary duty or other misconduct relating to Executive’s employment with the Company that renders Executive ineligible for indemnification by the Company under applicable law; or (iii) any claim or claims that the Company may have against Executive as of the Execution Date of which the Company is not aware as of the Execution Date because of willful concealment by Executive.    The Company understands and agrees that by signing this Agreement, it is giving up its right to bring any legal claim against Executive concerning, directly or indirectly, Executive’s employment relationship with the Company through the Execution Date.  The Company agrees that this legal release is intended to be interpreted in the broadest possible manner in favor of Executive, to include all actual or potential legal claims that the Company may have against Executive relating to Employee’s employment with the Company or separation therefrom, except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement.

 

(c)           In order to provide a full and complete release, each of the Parties understands and agrees that this Agreement is intended to include all claims, if any, covered under this section entitled “Legal Releases” (“LR Section”) that such Party may have and not now know or suspect to exist in Executive’s or its favor against any other Party and that this Agreement extinguishes such claims.  Thus, each of the Parties expressly waives all rights under any statute or common law principle in any jurisdiction that provides, in effect, that a general release does not extend to claims which the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in Executive’s favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by Executive must have materially affected Executive’s settlement with the party being released.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this LR Section, however, nothing in this LR Section is intended or shall be construed to limit or otherwise affect in any way Executive’s rights under this Agreement.

 

(d)           Executive agrees and acknowledges that Executive: (i) understands the language used in this Agreement and the Agreement’s legal effect; (ii) will receive compensation under this Agreement to which Executive would not have been entitled without signing this Agreement; (iii) has been advised by the Company to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement; and (iv) will be given up to twenty one (21) calendar days to consider whether to sign this Agreement.  For a period of seven days after the Execution Date, Executive may, in Executive’s sole discretion, rescind this Agreement, by delivering a written notice of rescission to Paul Hilton or Paul Jacobs.  If Executive rescinds this Agreement within seven calendar days after the Execution Date, this Agreement shall be void, all actions taken pursuant to this Agreement shall be reversed, and neither this Agreement nor the fact of or circumstances surrounding its execution shall be admissible for any purpose whatsoever in any proceeding between the Parties, except in connection with a claim or defense involving the validity or effective rescission of this Agreement.  If Executive does not rescind this Agreement within seven calendar days after the Execution Date, this Agreement shall become final and binding and shall be irrevocable.

 

15



 

(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Post-Separation Release, if the Company shall fail to make any payment required by Section 3(b), (c), (d) or (g)(vi) other than as a result of the failure of the Conditions, then the release provided by Executive and the Company pursuant to this LR Section and/or the Post-Separation Release, shall be null and void, and of no further force and effect.

 

13.           Additional Representation and Covenant.  Executive represents and warrants that as of the Effective Date, Executive is unaware of any facts or circumstances relating to the Company’s business that Executive believes suggest or support a claim of wrongdoing or illegal conduct of any kind by the Company or any employee, officer or director thereof, except as previously disclosed to the Company by Executive in writing.  Executive covenants that, to the extent permitted by law, following the Effective Date Executive will not take any action, or encourage any other person to take any action with the intent of, calculated or known to Executive to likely to result in the initiation or an inquiry, investigation or other action concerning the Company by any federal, state or local governmental body or agency, and that were Executive to do so Executive would commit a material breach and default under this Agreement, for which the Company would be entitled to all remedies available to the Company pursuant to applicable law, including specific performance of this covenant.

 

14.          Consequences of Not Timely Made Payment.  If the Company fails to make a payment to Executive when due under this Agreement on a timely basis, and provided that Executive is not in breach of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Executive, in addition to such overdue payment, an additional amount equal to 1% of such overdue payment for each month thereafter until any such overdue payment is paid in full.

 

15.          Miscellaneous.

 

(a)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and operated so that the payments and benefits set forth herein shall be either exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code or shall comply with the requirements of such provision.  To the extent consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations, as reasonably determined by the Company and its advisors, the Company shall (i) prepare and file its income tax returns in a manner consistent with the foregoing sentence, except as may be adjusted by subsequent agreement or by tax authority audit or by court decision; and (ii) not take any other actions that would result in any of the payments to be made hereunder to fail to be exempt from Code Section 409A pursuant to the provisions of Reg. 1-409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(C).  To the extent that the Company takes any action contrary to the foregoing sentence and as a result of such action, any of the payments to Executive under this Agreement become subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A(d)(1)(B), the Company agrees to reimburse, on an after-tax basis, Executive for any additional taxes, penalties or interest with respect to such payments.

 

(b)            This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

 

16



 

The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the Parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

(b)           The Company, for itself, its affiliates, and any other person or entity that could or might act on behalf of it including, without limitation, its officers, directors and attorneys (all of whom are collectively referred to as “Company Releasers”), hereby fully and forever release and discharge Executive, Executive’s heirs, representatives, assigns, attorneys, and any and all other persons or entities that are now or may become liable to any Company Releaser on account of Executive’s employment with the Company or separation therefrom (all of whom are collectively referred to as “Company Releasees”) of and from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, of every kind and nature whatsoever, in law or in equity, whether now known or unknown, that the Company Releasers, or any person acting under any of them, may now have, or claim at any future time to have, based in whole or in part upon any act or omission relating to Employee’s employment with the Company or separation therefrom, without regard to present actual knowledge of such acts or omissions; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in the Transition Agreement or
