Exhibit 10.1
OMNICELL, INC.
EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN

1.Purpose. Omnicell, Inc. (the “Company”) considers it essential to the best interests of its stockholders to foster the continuous employment of key management personnel. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes, however, that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of an involuntary termination of employment, either before or after a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2 hereof), exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders. Therefore, the Compensation Committee of the Board has determined that the Omnicell, Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”) should be adopted to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of the Company’s, and its subsidiaries, officers with the title of Senior Vice President or higher (each, a “Covered Executive” and collectively, the “Covered Executives”) to their assigned duties without distraction. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as creating an express or implied contract of employment and, except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Covered Executive and the Company, the Covered Executive shall not have any right to be retained in the employ of the Company. The Plan is not intended to be an “employee pension benefit plan” or “pension plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Rather the Plan is intended to be a “welfare benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA and to meet the requirements of a “severance pay plan” within the meaning of regulations published by the Secretary of Labor at Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 2510.3-2(b), as well as a plan providing welfare benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees. Accordingly, no employee shall have a vested right to benefits paid by the Plan.

2.Definitions. The following terms shall be defined as set forth below:

(a)Base Salary” shall mean the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the Terminating Event; provided, however, that in the event the annual base salary has been reduced in a manner that would constitute Good Reason hereunder, “Base Salary” shall mean the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to such reduction.

(b)Bonus Plan” means the Omnicell, Inc. 2010 Quarterly Executive Bonus Plan or any successor thereto.

(c)Cause” shall mean, with respect to a Covered Executive, the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) an intentional action or intentional failure to act by the Covered Executive that was performed in bad faith; (ii) the Covered Executive’s intentional refusal or intentional failure to act in accordance with any lawful and proper direction or order of his or her superiors; (iii) the Covered Executive’s habitual neglect of the duties of employment, which, other than during the CIC Protection Period, may include a failure to perform his or her job duties satisfactorily; (iv) the Covered Executive’s indictment, charge, or conviction of a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, or participation in any act of theft or dishonesty, regardless of whether such act has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material detrimental effect on the business of the Company or an affiliate; or (v) the Covered Executive’s violation of any material provision of the Company’s Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement or violation of any material provision of any other contract executed by the Company and Covered Executive or of any written policy or procedure of the Company or an affiliate that is applicable to the Covered Executive. Other than during the CIC Protection Period, the determination that a termination of the Covered Executive’s employment is either for Cause or without Cause shall be made by the Company, in its sole discretion (and, for



terminations during the CIC Protection Period, such determination shall be made in good faith and shall not be subject to any deference from any reviewing body).

(d)Change in Control” has the meaning set forth in (i) the Omnicell, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan as of the effective date of the Plan, (ii) any prospectively modified Change in Control definition in the Omnicell Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, and (iii) any such definition stipulated in a successor equity plan to the Omnicell Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.

(e)CIC Protection Period” shall mean the period beginning six months prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control and ending 24 months following the occurrence of a Change in Control.

(f)“Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(g)“Committee” shall mean the Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee appointed by such Board to assist the Company in making determinations required under the Plan in accordance with its terms. The Committee may delegate its authority under the Plan to an individual or another committee.

(h)“Good Reason” shall mean any of the following events:

(i)a material diminution in the Covered Executive’s responsibilities, authority or duties; or

(ii)a reduction in the Covered Executive’s Base Salary (excluding, prior to a Change in Control, across-the-board salary reductions similarly affecting all or substantially all management employees); or

(iii)the relocation of the Company offices at which the Covered Executive is principally employed to a new office location more than fifty (50) miles from such offices (but this clause (iii) shall not apply if the Covered Executive is assigned to a “remote” work location).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Covered Executive shall not have Good Reason to resign unless: (A) the Covered Executive notifies the Company in writing of the occurrence of the Good Reason condition within 30 days of the occurrence of such condition; (B) the Covered Executive cooperates in good faith with the Company’s efforts, for a period not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), to remedy the condition; (C) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason condition continues to exist following the Cure Period; and (D) the Covered Executive terminates his or her employment within 30 days after the end of the Cure Period. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

(i)“Plan Administrator” shall mean the individual(s) appointed by the Committee to administer the terms of the Plan as set forth herein and if no individual is appointed by the Committee to serve as Plan Administrator for the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall be the Company’s Chief People Officer. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event the Plan Administrator is entitled to benefits under the Plan, the Committee or its delegate shall act as the Plan Administrator for purposes of administering the terms of the Plan with respect to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may delegate all or any portion of its authority under the Plan to any other person(s).

2


(j)“Target Bonus” shall mean the Covered Executive’s target annual cash incentive bonus under the Bonus Plan (or, if the target incentive bonus is not expressed as an annual amount, the annualized amount of such target incentive bonus) immediately prior to the Terminating Event (or, if higher, such target incentive bonus immediately prior to the consummation of a Change in Control if the Terminating Event occurs during the CIC Protection Period).

(k)“Terminating Event” shall mean any of the following events: (i) termination by the Company of the employment of the Covered Executive for any reason other than for Cause, death or disability; or (ii) during the 24-month period following the occurrence of a Change in Control, the termination by the Covered Executive of his or her employment with the Company for Good Reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Terminating Event shall not be deemed to have occurred herein solely as a result of the Covered Executive being an employee of any direct or indirect successor to the business or assets of the Company.

3.Termination Benefits. In the event a Terminating Event occurs with respect to a Covered Executive, the Company shall pay or provide to the Covered Executive any earned but unpaid Base Salary, unpaid expense reimbursements incurred in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policies, earned and payable (in accordance with the Bonus Plan) but unpaid cash incentive bonuses for periods ending prior to the date of the Terminating Event, accrued but unused vacation and any vested benefits the Covered Executive may be entitled to under any employee benefit plan of the Company within the time required by law but in no event more than 90 days after the Terminating Event. Any equity awards shall be treated as specified in the applicable plan and award agreement.

(a)Additional Severance Benefits Upon Termination Other Than During CIC Protection Period. In the event that the Terminating Event occurs other than during the CIC Protection Period, then, subject to and contingent upon the Covered Executive’s execution of separation agreement containing a general release of claims as provided by the Company and substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Release”) by the Covered Executive and the expiration of any revocation period with respect to such Release within 60 days of the Terminating Event (or such shorter period of time as specified by the Company), the Company shall pay to the respective Covered Executive, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the benefits listed in the following chart:

4.Additional Limitation.

(a)Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any compensation, payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Covered Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise (the “Severance Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the following provisions shall apply:

(i)If the Severance Payments, reduced by the sum of (A) the Excise Tax and (B) the total of the Federal, state, and local income and employment taxes payable by the Covered Executive on the amount of the Severance Payments which are in excess of the Threshold Amount, are greater than or equal to the Threshold Amount, the Covered Executive shall be entitled to the full benefits payable under this Plan.

(ii)If the Threshold Amount is less than (A) the Severance Payments, but greater than (B) the Severance Payments reduced by the sum of (1) the Excise Tax and (2) the total of the Federal, state, and local income and employment taxes on the amount of the Severance Payments which are in excess of the Threshold Amount, then the benefits payable under this Plan shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that the sum of all Severance Payments shall not exceed the Threshold Amount. In such event, the Severance Payments shall be reduced in the following order: (1) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (2) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (3) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (4) non-cash forms of benefits. To the extent any payment is to be made over time (e.g., in installments, etc.), then the payments shall be reduced in reverse chronological order.

(b)For the purposes of this Section 4, “Threshold Amount” shall mean three times the Covered Executive’s “base amount” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder less $1.00; and “Excise Tax” shall mean the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and any interest or penalties incurred by the Covered Executive with respect to such excise tax.

(c)The determination as to which of the alternative provisions of Section 4(a) shall apply to the Covered Executive shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Covered Executive within 15 business days of the Terminating Event, if applicable, or at such earlier time as is reasonably requested by the Company or the Covered Executive. For purposes of determining which of the alternative provisions of Section 4(a) shall apply, the Covered Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in the state and locality of the Covered Executive’s residence on the Terminating Event, net of the maximum reduction in federal
7


income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Covered Executive.

5.Withholding. All payments made by the Company under this Plan shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law.

6.Plan Administrator.

(a)It shall be the duty of the Plan Administrator, on the basis of information supplied to it by the Company and the Committee, to properly administer the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have the full power, authority and discretion to construe, interpret and administer the Plan, to make factual determinations, to correct deficiencies therein, and to supply omissions. All decisions, actions and interpretations of the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties, subject only to determinations by the Named Appeals Fiduciary (as defined in Section 9), with respect to denied claims for benefits. The Plan Administrator may adopt such rules and regulations and may make such decisions as it deems necessary or desirable for the proper administration of the Plan.

(b)The Plan Administrator shall receive no compensation for services as such. However, all reasonable expenses of the Plan Administrator shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company upon proper documentation. The Plan Administrator shall be indemnified by the Company against personal liability for actions taken in good faith in the discharge of the Plan Administrator’s duties.

(c)The Plan Administrator shall keep a copy of all records relating to the payment of benefits to Covered Executives and former Covered Executives and all other records necessary for the proper operation of the Plan. All Plan records shall be made available to the Committee, the Company and to each Covered Executive for examination during business hours except that a Covered Executive shall examine only such records as pertain exclusively to the examining Covered Executive and to the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall prepare and shall file as required by law or regulation all reports, forms, documents and other items required by ERISA and every other relevant statute, each as amended, and all regulations thereunder.

7.Discretion. Any decisions, actions or interpretations to be made under the Plan by the Company shall be made in its sole discretion, not in any fiduciary capacity and need not be uniformly applied to similarly situated individuals and such decisions, actions or interpretations taken in good faith shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all parties. As a condition of participating in the Plan, the Covered Executive acknowledges that all decisions and determinations of the Company shall be final and binding on the Covered Executive, his or her beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an interest under the Plan on his or her behalf.

8.Payment. Payment of benefits to Covered Executives hereunder shall be from the Company’s general assets.

9.Claims Procedures.

(a)Claim. Each Covered Executive under this Plan may contest only the administration of the benefits awarded by completing and filing with the Plan Administrator a written request for review in the manner specified by the Plan Administrator. No appeal is permissible as to a Covered Executive’s eligibility for or the amount of benefits, which are decisions made solely within the discretion of the Company. No person may bring an action for
8


any alleged wrongful denial of Plan benefits in a court of law unless the claims procedures described in this Section 9 are exhausted and a final determination is made by the Plan Administrator and/or the Named Appeals Fiduciary. If a Covered Executive or other interested person challenges a decision by the Plan Administrator and/or Named Appeals Fiduciary, a review by the court of law will be limited to the facts, evidence and issues presented to the Plan Administrator during the claims procedure set forth in this Section 9. Facts and evidence that become known to the terminated Covered Executive or other interested person after having exhausted the claims procedure must be brought to the attention of the Plan Administrator for reconsideration. Issues not raised with the Plan Administrator and/or Named Appeals Fiduciary will be deemed waived.

(b)Initial Claim. Before the date on which payment of benefits commence, each such application must be supported by such information as the Plan Administrator deems relevant and appropriate. In the event that any claim relating to the administration of benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Covered Executive or his or her beneficiary (“claimant”) whose claim has been so denied shall be notified of such denial in writing by the Plan Administrator within 90 days after the receipt of the claim for benefits. This period may be extended an additional 90 days if the Plan Administrator determines such extension is necessary and the Plan Administrator provides notice of extension to the claimant prior to the end of the initial 90-day period. The notice advising of the denial shall specify the following: (i) the reason or reasons for denial, (ii) make specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the determination was based, (iii) describe any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim (explaining why such material or information is needed), and (iv) describe the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on review. If it is determined that payment is to be made, any such payment shall be made within ninety (90) days after the date by which notification is required.

(c)Appeals of Denied Administrative Claims. All appeals shall be made by the following procedure:

(i)A claimant whose claim has been denied shall file with the Plan Administrator a notice of appeal of the denial. Such notice shall be filed within 60 calendar days after notification by the Plan Administrator of the denial of a claim, shall be made in writing, and shall set forth all of the facts upon which the appeal is based. Appeals not timely filed shall be barred.

(ii)The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall consider the merits of the claimant’s written presentations, the merits of any facts or evidence in support of the denial of benefits, and such other facts and circumstances as the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall deem relevant.

(iii)The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall render a determination upon the appealed claim which determination shall be accompanied by a written statement as to the reasons therefore. The determination shall be made to the claimant within 60 days after the claimant’s request for review, unless the Names Appeals Fiduciary determines that special circumstances requires an extension of time for processing the claim. In such case, the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall notify the claimant of the need for an extension of time to render its decision prior to the end of the initial 60-day period, and the Named Appeals Fiduciary shall have an additional 60-day period to make its determination. The determination so rendered shall be binding upon all parties. If the determination is adverse to the claimant, the notice shall provide (i) the reason or reasons for denial, (ii) make specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the determination was based, (iii)
9


a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to a the claimant’s claim for benefits, and (iv) state that the claimant has the right to bring an action under ERISA Section 502(a). If the final determination is that payment shall be made, then any such payment shall be made within 90 days after the date by which notification of the final determination is required.

(d)Appointment of the Named Appeals Fiduciary. The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall be the person or persons named as such by the Committee, or, if no such person or persons be named, then the person or persons named by the Plan Administrator as the Named Appeals Fiduciary. Named Appeals Fiduciaries may at any time be removed by the Committee, and any Named Appeals Fiduciary named by the Plan Administrator may be removed by the Plan Administrator or the Committee. All such removals may be with or without cause and shall be effective on the date stated in the notice of removal. The Named Appeals Fiduciary shall be a “Named Fiduciary” within the meaning of ERISA, and unless appointed to other fiduciary responsibilities, shall have no authority, responsibility, or liability with respect to any matter other than the proper discharge of the functions of the Named Appeals Fiduciary as set forth herein.

(e)Arbitration; Expenses. In the event of any dispute under the provisions of this Plan, other than a dispute in which the primary relief sought is an equitable remedy such as an injunction, the parties shall have the dispute, controversy or claim settled by arbitration in Dallas, Texas (or such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Covered Executive) in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, before a panel of three arbitrators, two of whom shall be selected by the Company and the Covered Executive, respectively, and the third of whom shall be selected by the other two arbitrators. Any award entered by the arbitrators shall be final, binding and non-appealable and judgment may be entered thereon by either party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall be specifically enforceable. The arbitrators shall have no authority to modify any provision of this Plan or to award a remedy for a dispute involving this Plan other than a benefit specifically provided under or by virtue of the Plan. If the Covered Executive substantially prevails on any material issue, which is the subject of such arbitration or lawsuit, the Company shall be responsible for all of the fees of the American Arbitration Association and the arbitrators and any expenses relating to the conduct of the arbitration (including the Company’s and Covered Executive’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses); in this event, any such fees and expenses are limited to those typically incurred in the usual course of arbitration proceedings and shall not be negotiable or determinable by the Covered Executive, and payment to the Covered Executive of such amounts shall occur within 90 days after the date of entry of judgment (entered in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction) of the final, binding and non-appealable arbitration settlement. Otherwise, each party shall be responsible for its own expenses relating to the conduct of the arbitration (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and shall share the fees of the American Arbitration Association.

10.Section 409A.

(a)Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Covered Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Covered Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Covered Executive becomes entitled to under this Plan would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of
10


the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Covered Executive’s separation from service, or (B) the Covered Executive’s death.

(b)The parties intend that this Plan will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Plan is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The Plan is intended to provide certain benefits that meet the requirements of the “short-term deferral” exception, the “separation pay” exception and other exceptions under Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment hereunder shall be considered a separate payment.

(c)The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

(d)The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Covered Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Plan are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

11.Notice and Date of Termination.

(a)Notice of Termination. After the occurrence of a Terminating Event, such event shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination from the Company to the Covered Executive or vice versa in accordance with this Section 11. For purposes of this Plan, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Plan relied upon and the Date of Termination.

12.No Mitigation. The Covered Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce any amounts payable to the Covered Executive by the Company under this Plan. Further, except as provided in Section 3(a) with respect to COBRA-related benefits, the amount of any payment provided for in this Plan shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Covered Executive as the result of employment by another
11


employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Covered Executive to the Company, or otherwise.

13.Benefits and Burdens. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and the Covered Executives, their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns. In the event of a Covered Executive’s death after a Terminating Event but prior to the completion by the Company of all payments due him or her under this Plan, the Company shall continue such payments to the Covered Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to his or her death (or to his or her estate, if the Covered Executive fails to make such designation).

14.Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Plan shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Plan, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Plan shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15.Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Plan, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Plan, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

16.Notices. Any notices, requests, demands, and other communications provided for by this Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to a Covered Executive at the last address the Covered Executive has filed in writing with the Company, or to the Company at their main office, attention of the Board of Directors.

17.Effect on Other Plans. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to limit the rights of the Covered Executives under the Company benefit plans, programs or policies; provided that if a Covered Executive is entitled to receive severance benefits under any employment or similar agreement or the Amended and Restated Omnicell, Inc. Severance Benefit Plan (or any successor thereto), the benefits hereunder shall be in lieu of (and not in addition to) any severance benefits thereunder (including, without limitation, under any Change of Control Agreement or Change in Control Severance Letter); provided, however, that if such other plan or agreement specifies a time and form of payment of any severance benefits, then to the extent required to comply with Code Section 409A, the severance benefits provided for under this Plan shall be paid in the time and form specified under such other plan or agreement.

Re:    Separation Agreement
Dear [Employee]:
This separation agreement (the “Agreement”) is required as a condition to your receipt of benefits under the Omnicell, Inc. (the “Company”) Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings specified in the Plan.
1.Separation. Your employment termination date with the Company was [INSERT DATE] (the “Separation Date”).
2.Severance Benefits1. If you timely sign this Agreement, allow it to become effective, and comply with your obligations under it (collectively, the “Severance Preconditions”), then you will receive as your sole severance benefits the benefits specified in Section 3 of the Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
3.Equity. Vesting of your Equity awards (other than stock options) granted as of the Separation Date under the terms of the Company’s current Equity Incentive Plan will continue for one year after the Separation Date; provided that to the extent required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for awards designed to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent required to continue to be exempt or maintain compliance with Section 409A of the Code, you shall receive vesting credit of one year and such awards shall [continue to vest for the one year period following]2 the Separation Date and shall be settled in accordance with the terms of the underlying award agreements in order to maintain such exemption or compliance with Section 409A of the Code. In addition, with respect to any stock options granted to you under the Company’s current Equity Incentive Plan that are vested and outstanding as of the Separation Date, you shall be permitted to exercise such stock options for the one-year period following the Separation Date (not to exceed the maximum initial term of the applicable stock option). Except as specifically modified hereby, your equity awards will remain subject to the Company’s current Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable grant documentation in all respects. For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge you shall not be eligible for an annual equity grant with respect to [YEAR of Separation Date].
4.Other Compensation or Benefits. You acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, you have not earned and will not receive from the Company any additional compensation (including base salary, bonus, incentive compensation, or equity), severance, or benefits before or after the Separation Date, with the exception of any vested right you may have under the express terms of a written ERISA-qualified benefit plan (e.g., 401(k) account) or any vested stock options, your severance benefits specified in Section 3 of the Plan, and any executive benefits under the current Executive Benefits Program to which you are entitled.
5.Expense Reimbursements. You agree that, within thirty (30) days after the Separation Date, you will submit your final documented expense reimbursement statement reflecting all business

(c)ADEA Release.

“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

You hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any other jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to your release of claims herein, including but not limited to your release of unknown claims.

(e)Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you are not releasing the Company hereby from: (i) any obligation to indemnify you pursuant to the Articles and Bylaws of the Company, any corporate governance document or contract, or otherwise, or any valid fully executed indemnification agreement with the Company, applicable law, or applicable directors and officer’s liability and/or employment practices liability and/or errors and omissions insurance; (ii) your rights in and to your Company equity, including, without limitation, your right to exercise, hold, and sell your Company equity (subject to the terms of the Equity Documents, as modified by this Agreement); (iii) any claims that cannot be waived by law; or (iii) any claims for breach of this Agreement and your rights to enforce this Agreement; (v) your right to receive benefits required to be provided in accordance with applicable law, including without limitation, continued health coverage under COBRA; or (vi) claims that arise after you execute this Agreement. You further understand that nothing in this Agreement limits your ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”). You further understand this Agreement does not limit your ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise testify, assist, or participate in any investigation, hearing, or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. While this Agreement does not limit your right to receive an award for information provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission, you understand and agree that, to maximum extent permitted by law, you are otherwise waiving any and all rights you may have to individual relief based on any claims that you have released and any rights you have waived by signing this Agreement. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit you from engaging in protected concerted activity under the National Labor Relations Act for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, including, without limitation, (i) making disclosures concerning this Agreement in aid of such concerted activities, (ii) filing unfair labor practice charges, (iii) assisting others who are filing such charges, and (iv) cooperating with the investigative process of the National Labor Relations Board or other Government Agencies.
7.Return of Company Property. You agree that, within ten (10) days from the Separation Date, or earlier if requested by the Company, you will return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property in your possession or control, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes, drawings, records, plans, forecasts, reports, studies, analyses, proposals, agreements, drafts, financial and operational information, research and development information, sales and marketing information, customer lists, prospect information, pipeline reports, sales reports, personnel information, specifications, code, software, databases, computer-recorded information, tangible property and equipment (including, but not limited to, computing and electronic devices, mobile telephones, servers), credit cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys; and any materials of any kind which contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions or embodiments thereof in whole or in part). You agree that you will make a diligent search to locate any such documents, property and information by the close of business on the Separation Date or as soon as possible thereafter. If you have used any personally owned computer or other electronic device, server, or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare or transmit any Company confidential or proprietary data, materials or information, within five (5) days after the Separation Date, you shall provide the Company with a computer-useable copy of such information and then permanently delete and expunge such Company confidential or proprietary information from those systems; and you agree to provide the Company access to your system as requested to verify that the necessary copying and/or deletion is completed. Non-compliance with the return of information and information deletion requirements of this paragraph would be a material
16


breach of this Agreement and your timely compliance with this paragraph is a condition to your receipt of the severance benefits provided under this Agreement.
8.Confidential Information Obligations. You acknowledge and reaffirm your continuing obligations under your Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (“EPIIA”) such that you will hold any confidential and proprietary information in in the strictest of confidence and will take reasonable efforts to protect such Confidential Information from disclosure except when required to disclose such information by law. If you have any questions regarding which information would be considered by the Company to be information subject to these obligations, you agree to contact the Sr Director People Strategist immediately.
As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means: (1) information of the Company, to the extent not considered a Trade Secret under applicable law, that: (i) relates to the business of the Company; (ii) possesses an element of value to the Company; (iii) is not generally known to the Company's Competitors; and (iv) would damage the Company if disclosed; or (2) information of any third party provided to the Company that the Company is obligated to treat as confidential (such third party to be referred to as the “Third Party”), including, but not limited to, information provided to the Company by its licensors, suppliers, or Customers. Subject to the foregoing general definition, Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: (a) business plans; (b) the composition, description, or characteristics of current or contemplated products of the Company; (c) pricing information, such as price lists; (d) proprietary software and reports derived from said software; (e) advertising or marketing plans; (f) information regarding independent contractors, employees, licensors, suppliers, customers, or any Third Party, including, but not limited to customer lists compiled by the Company, and customer or market information compiled by the Company; and (g) information concerning the Company’s financial structure or condition, the Company’s prospects or plans, its marketing and sales programs, the Company’s research and development information, the Company’s contemplated or actual mergers and acquisitions, stock splits and divestitures, and its methods and procedures of operation. Confidential Information shall not include any information that: (x) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure; (y) has been independently developed and disclosed by others without violating this Agreement or the legal rights of any party; or (z) otherwise enters the public domain through lawful means.
9.General Disclaimer Language. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prevent you from exercising your rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, including the right to participate in or assist with a case before the National Labor Relations Board and communicate with coworkers or third parties about terms and conditions of employment or labor disputes, when the communication is not so disloyal, reckless, or maliciously untrue as to lose the protection of the law.
10.Confidentiality.5 The parties understand and agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed, except as may be necessary to effectuate its terms. Any disclosure in violation of this Section shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, this confidentiality provision does not prevent or restrict you from enforcing your Section 7 rights under the National Labor Relations Act, participating in Section 7 activity (including the right to communicate with former coworkers and/or third parties about terms and conditions of employment or labor disputes, unrelated to the amount of severance pay under this Agreement) or other otherwise cooperating with the National Labor Relation Board’s investigative process through investigation, testimony, or otherwise with an administrative agency or court. Notwithstanding the above, you agree to keep the amount of severance pay provided under this Agreement strictly confidential unless compelled to disclose the amount pursuant to any legal or administrative proceedings. You, however, may disclose the amount of severance to your spouse, attorney, and tax or financial advisors, after first informing them of this confidentiality requirement. The parties believe this confidentiality provision is reasonable and intend to comply with it.
11.Non-Competition. During the term of your employment with the Company, and for twelve (12) months after your Separation Date (the “Restricted Period”), you will not, except as authorized by the Company, perform the same or similar tasks that you performed on behalf of the

Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prohibit you from soliciting: (a) a Customer that has terminated its business relationship with the Company (for reasons other than being solicited or encouraged by you to do so); (b) a product line or service line competitive with one that the Company no longer offers; or (c) a product line or service line with which you had no involvement while working for the Company and about which you did not learn Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a generalized solicitation constitute a violation of this Section unless targeted at Company employees or exclusive consultants.
14.False Statements. You shall not, and the Company shall direct its members of the Board and its executive officers not to make any false or disparaging statements about one another nor about the Company’s officers, directors, employees, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and agents in any manner likely to be harmful to your, its, or their business, business reputation, or personal reputation; provided that: (a) you may respond accurately and fully to any request for information if required by legal process or in connection with a government investigation; (b) nothing in this provision or this Agreement is intended to prohibit or restrain you in any manner from making disclosures protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal or state law or regulation or other applicable law or regulation; and (c) nothing in this provision or this Agreement prevents you from discussing or disclosing information about unlawful acts in the workplace such as harassment or discrimination or any other conduct that you have reason to believe is unlawful.

Where reasonably under the control of the Company, the Company will make reasonable efforts to (i) accommodate your scheduling needs for all testimony and all other cooperation, and (ii) schedule such testimony and other cooperation at locations mutually acceptable to you and the Company. To the extent that you are required to spend substantial time on such matters, in addition to the reimbursement of your reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, the Company shall compensate you at an hourly rate of $500 per hour.
17.No Admissions. You understand and agree that the promises and payments in consideration of this Agreement shall not be construed to be an admission of any liability or obligation by the Company to you or to any other person, and that the Company makes no such admission.

You hereby specifically represent, warrant, and confirm that you have: (i) not filed any claims, complaints, or actions of any kind against the Company with any federal, state, or local court or government agency; (ii) not made any claims or allegations to the Company related to sexual harassment or sexual abuse, and none of the payments set forth in this Agreement are related to sexual harassment or sexual abuse; (iii) been properly paid for all hours worked for the Company; (iv) received all salary, wages, commissions, bonuses, and other compensation due to you with the exception of the payments and benefits under this Agreement [and those payable in the normal course of your employment]7; (v) received all leave and leave benefits and protections for which you are eligible pursuant to the Family and Medical Leave Act, or otherwise; (vi) not suffered any on-the-job injury for which you have not already filed a workers’ compensation claim; and (vii) not engaged in any unlawful conduct relating to the business of the Company.

(“E SIGN Act”)).
20.Miscellaneous. This Agreement, including its exhibits, constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between you and the Company with regard to its subject matter. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other entered into between You and the Company, this Agreement will control with respect to the subject matter herein. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written or oral, other than those expressly contained herein, and it supersedes any other such promises, warranties or representations. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by both you and a duly authorized officer of the Company. This Agreement will bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of both you and the Company, and inure to the benefit of both you and the Company, their heirs, successors and assigns. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination will not affect any other provision of this Agreement and the provision in question will be modified by the court so as to be rendered enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, consistent with the intent of the parties. This Agreement will be deemed to have been entered into and will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of

19


the State of [INSERT STATE]8 without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall not be construed against either party as the drafter. Any waiver of a breach of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any successive breach. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and electronic or facsimile signatures will suffice as original signatures.
21.Section 409A. It is intended that this Agreement shall comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”) to the maximum extent possible and (i) each installment of any benefits payable under this Agreement shall be regarded as a separate “payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i), (ii) all payments of any such benefits under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), and (iii) any such benefits consisting of COBRA premiums also satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemption from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v). However, if the Company reasonably determines that any such benefits payable under this Agreement constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and you are a “specified employee” of the Company, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of such benefit payments shall be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of (A) the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after your “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) and (B) the date of your death (such applicable date, the “Delayed Initial Payment Date”), the Company shall (1) pay you a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the benefit payments that you would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the benefits had not been delayed pursuant to this paragraph and (2) commence paying the balance, if any, of the benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedule.
If this Agreement is acceptable to you, please provide your electronic signature as directed and return the document to me. You have twenty-one (21) calendar days to decide whether to accept this Agreement, and the Company’s offer contained herein will automatically expire if you do not sign and return it within that timeframe. You further acknowledge and agree that you have been advised that you have the right to consult an attorney regarding this Agreement and that you were given a reasonable time period of no less than five (5) business days in which to do so.
We wish you the best in your future endeavors.
Sincerely,

Omnicell, Inc.
