Exhibit 10.1
AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO
AMENDED AND RESTATED SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT NO. 2 (the Amendment), dated as of June 18, 2010, to that certain AMENDED AND RESTATED SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (the Agreement) by and between Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) and Ralph del Campo (Executive) dated as of May 7, 2004, as further amended by AMENDMENT NO. 1 thereto, dated as of November 6, 2007 (the Amended and Restated Severance Agreement collectively with Amendment No. 1 thereto, the Agreement).
The undersigned parties hereby desire to amend the Agreement in the manner set forth herein. All capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:
1. Paragraph C of the Background Section of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the words S.V.P., Operations with the words Chief Operating Officer and Principal Executive Officer.
2. The Agreement is hereby amended by inserting, immediately after Section 2, the following new Section 2A:
2A. Severance upon Termination without Cause or Termination by Executive for Good Reason other than with Change in Control. Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 4 hereof, in the event: (a) the Company terminates Executives employment without Cause, or Executive resigns for Good Reason; and (b) Section 2 hereof does not apply:
(a) Executive shall receive his Base Salary through the date of termination;
(b) Executive shall receive a pro rated portion of the Target Bonus (based on the Base Salary at the time of such termination) which would have been payable to Executive for the fiscal year during which such termination occurs;
(c) Executive shall receive cash payments equal to the sum of the following: (i) his Base Salary at the time of such termination and (ii) the Target Bonus (based on the Base Salary immediately prior to such termination) for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs;
(d) in the event the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason occurs prior to the six (6) month anniversary of this Amendment, then, in addition to the above, Executive shall receive a cash payment equal to one-twelfth
(1/12) of the amount of the payment referenced in subsection 2A(b), above, multiplied by 6 minus the number of full months Executive has been employed by the Company after the effective date of this Amendment. Thus, for example, if the termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason occurs after 2 full months have elapsed from the date of the signing of this Amendment, the additional payment under this subsection 2A(d) shall equal the amount of the payment referenced in subsection 2A(b) above times 4/12;
(e) Executive shall continue to be entitled to any deferred compensation and other unpaid amounts and benefits earned and vested prior to Executives termination;
(f) if Executive and Executives Family Members have medical and dental coverage on the date of such termination under a group health plan sponsored by the Company, the Company will reimburse Executive for the total applicable premium costs for medical and dental coverage under COBRA for Executive and Executives Family Members for a period of eighteen (18) months; provided, that the Company shall have no obligation to reimburse Executive for the premium cost of COBRA coverage as of the date Executive and Executives Family Members become eligible to obtain comparable benefits from a subsequent employer; and
(g) the Company shall provide Executive outplacement assistance as determined by the Company in its discretion.
3. Section 7 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsection (a) in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
Base Salary means Executives annual base salary. Effective February 22, 2010, for all services rendered by Executive to the Company during Executives employment with the Company, the Company shall pay Executive Base Salary at the annual rate of Four Hundred Sixty Two Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty Five dollars ($462,885), payable biweekly in arrears and subject to all applicable taxes, withholdings and other deductions.
4. Section 7 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsection (e) in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
5. Except as expressly amended, modified and supplemented hereby, the provisions of the Agreement are and will remain in full force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
