Re: Severance
This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions
pursuant to which Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), will pay you cash severance if your employment with the Company is
terminated in a Qualifying Termination (as defined below). Following your
execution of this Agreement, the severance payments and benefits described in
this Agreement will be the only severance payments or benefits that you will be
entitled to in connection with a termination of your employment and you will not
be entitled to any severance payments or benefits under the terms of any other
agreement with the Company, including, without limitation, that certain
Employment Agreement, dated as of [________] (collectively, and with any and all
amendments, the “Employment Agreement”), or any plan, policy or program of the
Company.
1.
Severance Payments.

(a)
Non-Change in Control Severance. If your employment with the Company is
terminated in a Qualifying Termination other than on or within twelve (12)
months following a Change in Control, then, subject to terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Company will:

i.
pay you an amount equal to the sum of (A) one times (1x) your annual base salary
and (B) a pro rata portion of your target annual bonus (prorated based on the
percentage of the fiscal year that shall have elapsed through the Separation
Date), in each case, as in effect on the Separation Date (or, if a reduction in
your annual base salary gave rise to Good Reason under this Agreement, as in
effect immediately prior to such reduction) (the “Severance Payment”); and

ii.
provided that you timely and properly elect to purchase continued healthcare
coverage under COBRA, pay you a monthly amount equal to the employer portion of
the monthly premiums paid under the Company’s group health plans as of the
Separation Date, for the period ending on the earliest of (i) the one-year
anniversary of the Separation Date, (ii) the date on which you become covered
under another employer’s health plan and (iii) the expiration of the maximum
COBRA continuation coverage period for which you are eligible under federal law.
For the avoidance of doubt, you will be responsible for paying the applicable
COBRA premiums directly to the Company’s COBRA administrator (the “COBRA
Payment”).

The Severance Payment and COBRA Payment (to the extent payable as described
above) will be paid in substantially equal installments over a period of twelve
(12) months following the Separation Date in accordance with the Company’s
regular payroll practices, beginning on the Company’s first regular payroll date
following the date that the Separation Agreement (as defined below) becomes
fully effective and irrevocable (and the first installment will include all
amounts that would have been paid on the regular payroll dates of the Company
following the Separation Date prior to such date), except as described in
Section 6 below; provided, however, to the extent any severance payments or
benefits that you were entitled to receive under the Employment Agreement were
subject to Section 409A (as determined in good faith by the Company with the
advice of outside counsel), the Severance Payment shall be paid on the schedule
set forth in the Employment Agreement to the extent required to prevent any
accelerated or additional tax or adverse consequences under Section 409A.
(b)
Change in Control Severance. If your employment with the Company is terminated
in a Qualifying Termination on or within twelve (12) months following a Change
in Control, then, in lieu of the payments described in Section 1(a) above and
subject to terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will provide you
with the following benefits:

i.
pay you an amount equal to two times (2x) the sum of your annual base salary and
target annual bonus, in each case, as in effect on the Separation Date (or, if a
reduction in your annual base salary gave rise to Good Reason under this
Agreement, as in effect immediately prior to such reduction);

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ii.
pay you an aggregate amount equal to the employer portion of the monthly
premiums paid under the Company’s group health plans as of the Separation Date
multiplied by twenty four (24) (the sum of (i) and (ii), “Change in Control
Severance Payment”); and

iii.
any stock options or other equity-based award that you hold on the Separation
Date, to the extent then-unvested, shall vest in full, with performance-based
awards vesting at target, and, in the case of stock options, shall remain
exercisable as provided in the equity plan or award agreement under which they
were granted.

The Change in Control Severance Payment will be paid in substantially equal
installments over a period of twelve (12) months following the Separation Date
in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, beginning on the
Company’s first regular payroll date following the date that the Separation
Agreement becomes fully effective and irrevocable (and the first installment
will include all amounts that would have been paid on the regular payroll dates
of the Company following the Separation Date prior to such date), except as
described in Section 6 below; provided, however, that the Company shall pay the
greatest portion of the Change in Control Severance Payment that is permissible
under Section 409A (as determined in good faith by the Company with the advice
of outside counsel) without resulting in any accelerated or additional tax or
other adverse consequences under Section 409A in a lump sum on the Company’s
first regular payroll date following the date that the Separation Agreement
becomes fully effective and irrevocable (and will include all amounts that would
have been paid on the regular payroll dates of the Company following the
Separation Date prior to such date) but in no event will be paid later than
March 15th of the year following the year in which the Separation Date occurs.
(c)
Death or Permanent Disability Severance. If your employment with the Company is
terminated due to your death or by the Company due to your Permanent Disability,
then, in lieu of the payments described in Sections 1(a) or 1(b) above and
subject to terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will provide you
with the following benefits:

i.
a pro rata portion of your target annual bonus for the year of termination,
based on the percentage of the fiscal year that shall have elapsed through the
Separation Date, payable in a lump sum on the Company’s first regular payroll
date following the date that the Separation Agreement becomes fully effective
and irrevocable (and will include all amounts that would have been paid on the
regular payroll dates of the Company following the Separation Date prior to such
date) (the “Death/Disability Payment”).

(d)
Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall

Beneficial Owners, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of
the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities entitled to vote

(including, without limitation, an entity which, as a result of such

Company, during the period of such affiliated status.

2.
Conditions to Payment. Any obligation of the Company to pay you the Cash
Severance Payment, the COBRA Payment, the Change in Control Severance Payment or
the Death/Disability Payment is conditioned upon (i) your continued compliance
with all confidentiality, non-solicitation, no-hire, non-disparagement,
invention assignment, cooperation and other similar obligations to, and other
restrictive covenants in favor of, the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates to which you are currently obligated, including, without limitation,
those restrictive covenants included in the Employment Agreement, which shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms (the “Restrictive
Covenants”), and (ii) your (or your estate’s or legal representative’s, in the
event of your death or Permanent Disability) execution and delivery to the
Company of a separation agreement that includes a non-competition covenant that
applies for one year following your termination of employment and general
release and waiver in favor of the Company in a form reasonably acceptable to
the Company (a “Separation Agreement”) and such Separation Agreement becoming
fully effective and irrevocable by the date specified therein, but in no event
more than sixty (60) days following the Separation Date.

3.
No Other Severance Benefits. The payments provided by this Agreement are in lieu
of any severance or similar payments or benefits that you may otherwise be
entitled to upon termination of employment with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, including, without limitation, under any severance
policy of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

4.
Withholding. The Company may withhold from all amounts payable under this
Agreement any taxes or other amounts required by law to be withheld with respect
to such payments, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

5.
Scope of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to entitle you to
continued employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates,
limit the Company’s right to terminate your employment at any time for any
reason or alter the at-will nature of your employment with the Company.

6.
Section 409A. All amounts payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt
from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder
(collectively, “Section 409A”). To the extent required to comply with or be
exempt from Section 409A, you will not be considered to have terminated
employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement, and no payment will
be due to you under this Agreement, until you have incurred a “separation from
service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A (after giving
effect to the presumptions set forth therein). If you are determined to be a
“specified employee” at the time of your separation from service then, to the
extent necessary to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section
409A, payment of the amounts payable under this Agreement will be delayed until
the earlier of (i) the date that is six months and one day following your
separation from service or (ii) your death. Each amount paid to you pursuant to
this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section
409A and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement
shall be treated as the right to a series of separate payments. To the extent
required to comply with Section 409A, if the period available to execute (and
not revoke) the Separation Agreement spans two calendar years, the Cash
Severance Payment, the COBRA Payment, the Change in Control Severance Payment or
the Death/Disability Payment will be paid in the second calendar year. To the
extent required to comply with Section 409A, a Change in Control will not be
deemed to occur for purposes of this Agreement unless it is a “change in control
event” as defined in Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, and
if it is not a “change in control event,” payment of the severance described in
Section 1(b) of this Agreement shall instead be paid as provided under Section
1(a) of this Agreement (unless the severance, or portion thereof, could be paid
earlier without resulting in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A). Any
reimbursement payable under this Agreement that is subject to Section 409A is
subject to the following additional rules: (A) the amount of expenses eligible
for reimbursement during any taxable year shall not affect the amount of
expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year; (B) reimbursement
of the expense shall be made, if at all, promptly, but not later than the end of
the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred,
and (C) the right to reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or
exchange for any other benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person will be
liable to you by reason of any acceleration of income, or any additional tax
(including any interest and penalties), asserted with respect to any of the
payments under this Agreement, including by reason of the failure of this
Agreement to satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 409A in form or in
operation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.
Section 280G. If all, or any portion, of the payments or benefits provided under
this Agreement, either alone or together with any other payment or benefit that
you receive or are entitled to receive from the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, would constitute an “excess parachute payment”
within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then, notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement or any other agreement or plan to the contrary, you will be
entitled to receive: (A) the amount of such payments or benefits, reduced such
that no portion thereof shall fail to be tax deductible under Section 280G of
the Code (the “Limited Amount”), or (B) if the amounts otherwise payable
hereunder and under any other agreements and plans of the Company and its
subsidiaries and affiliates (without regard to clause (A)), reduced by all taxes
applicable thereto (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code) would be greater than the Limited Amount
reduced by all taxes applicable thereto, the amounts otherwise payable hereunder
and thereunder. All determinations under this Section 7 will be made by an
accounting, consulting, or valuation firm selected, and paid for, by the
Company.

8.
Assignment. Neither the Company nor you may assign any rights or obligations
under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior
written consent of the other, except that the Company may assign its rights and
obligations under this Agreement without your consent in the event that you are
transferred to a position with any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates,
and the Company will assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement in
the event of a reorganization, consolidation, or merger involving the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates in which the Company is not the surviving
entity, or a transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or
line of business to which your employment principally relates. This Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon you and the Company and your
and its respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted
assigns.

9.
Governing Law; Validity. The laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will
govern all questions concerning the relative rights of you and the Company and
all other questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of
this Agreement, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions
of this Agreement, which other provisions will remain in full force and effect.

10.
Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications
provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given when delivered by hand or overnight courier or three days after
it has been mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth below in this
Agreement, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the
other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address
shall be effective only upon receipt.
