RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, prior to the date hereof, the Executive has been employed by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Prior Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Prior Agreement to provide for increased severance benefits in connection with the Company’s termination of the Executive’s employment (a) without Cause, the Executive’s resignation for Good Reason or the Company’s election not to renew the Employment  Term or any Renewal Term, and (b) without Cause or the Executive’s resignation for Good Reason in connection with a Change in Control.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Section 19 of the Prior Agreement, and in consideration of the promises and mutual agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.    Amendment to Section 3:  The following new subsection (d) is hereby added to Section 3 (“Compensation”) of the Prior Agreement:

 

“(d)   Bonus. Employee shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s employee bonus plans as authorized by the Board, or the Compensation Committee thereof, from time to time (any bonus amounts payable pursuant to such plans being a “Bonus”). Any Bonus shall be less statutory and other authorized deductions and withholdings and payable in accordance with the terms of the bonus plan.”

 

2.    Amendment to Section 4(b):    The following new subsection  (v) is hereby added to Section 4(b) of the Prior Agreement:

 

“(v) the Bonus, determined as follows:

 

(1)           any unpaid Bonus (including full discretionary components thereof) relating to completed bonus periods preceding the date of termination (for example, (i) if Employee is terminated in January, prior to the payment of bonuses related to the preceding fiscal year, Employee shall be entitled to the payment of the Bonus related to such preceding year and (ii) if Employee is terminated in July, prior to the payment of bonuses related to the preceding fiscal quarters, Employee shall be entitled to the payment of the Bonus related to such preceding quarters), if any;

 



 

plus

 

(2)           the Bonus within the Applicable Bonus Plan (as defined below) that the Employee would have received at one hundred percent (100%) of performance targets (including full discretionary components thereof) as if the Employee had continued working for the Company throughout the twelve (12) month period following the date of termination (the “Forward Bonus”). The “Applicable Bonus Plan” shall be the Company’s bonus plan then in effect if such plan contemplates the Employee or, if no bonus plan is then in effect that contemplates the Employee, the bonus plan for the immediately preceding bonus period.

 

The unpaid Bonus described in subsection (1) above shall be payable on or about the termination date, and the Forward Bonus shall be payable in equal monthly installments during the twelve (12) month period following the termination.”

 

3.    Amendment to Section 4(c):

 

(i)  Section 4(c)(iv) of the Prior Agreement is hereby amended to delete the definition of the term “Severance” which now appears in the new subsection 4(c)(v), as more particularly set forth below. Accordingly, Section 4(c)(iv) of the Prior Agreement shall now read as follows:

 

“(iv)  the acceleration of vesting of stock options and other equity awards granted to the Executive prior to April 2, 2007 with respect to such shares that would have vested in the twelve (12) months following such date of termination; and”

 

(ii) The following new subsection (v) is hereby added to Section 4(c) of the Prior Agreement:

 

“(v) the Bonus, determined as follows:

 

(1) any unpaid Bonus (including full discretionary components thereof) relating to completed bonus periods preceding the date of termination (for example, (i) if Employee is terminated in January, prior to the payment of bonuses related to the preceding fiscal year, Employee shall be entitled to the payment of the Bonus related to such preceding year and (ii) if Employee is terminated in July, prior to the payment of bonuses related to the preceding fiscal quarters, Employee shall be entitled to the payment of the Bonus related to such preceding quarters), if any;

 

plus

 

(2)  the Bonus within the Applicable Bonus Plan (as defined below) that the Employee would have received at one hundred percent (100%) of performance targets (including full discretionary components thereof) as if the Employee had continued working for the Company throughout the eighteen (18) month period following the date of termination (the “Forward Bonus”). The “Applicable Bonus Plan” shall be the Company’s bonus plan then in effect if such plan contemplates the Employee or, if no bonus plan is then in effect that contemplates the Employee, the bonus plan for the immediately preceding bonus period.

 

The unpaid Bonus described in subsection (1) above shall be payable on or about the termination date, and the Forward Bonus shall be payable in equal monthly installments during the eighteen (18) month period following the termination.

 

Section 4(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) and Section 4(c)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) are collectively referred to herein as the “Severance”.”
