Dear Renee:

 

We are pleased to offer you the Vice President of Sales position, subject to
Board approval, reporting to Randy Lipps. Your initial monthly salary will be
$16,666.67, less payroll deductions and all required withholdings, which is an
annual equivalent of $200,000. Omnicell will recommend, subject to approval by
our Board of Directors, an award to you of options to purchase up to 100,000
shares of Omnicell Common Stock at a price equal to the fair market value of
such shares on the date of grant. Upon approval, those shares will become
exercisable over a 48 month period (subject to a 1-year cliff). The options will
be subject to the terms and conditions of Omnicell’s stock option plan and your
grant agreement.

 

As an executive officer at Omnicell, you are also covered by the attached Change
of Control document.

 

If your employment is terminated without cause you will receive severance pay
equivalent to six (6) months’ salary at your base rate of pay in effect
immediately prior to termination; provided you agree to execute Omnicell’s
standard waiver and release agreement. “Cause” is defined as (1) conviction of
any felony; (2) participation in fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement or other
similar act of dishonesty or material misconduct against the Company (or its
subsidiaries or affiliates); or (3) participation in any act materially contrary
to the Company’s best interests.

 

In addition, you will be eligible to participate in the Omnicell Quarterly
Executive Bonus Plan wherein you may receive a bonus in the amount of up to 50%
of your base salary pending Board approval and paid out quarterly pursuant to
the Omnicell Quarterly Executive Bonus Plan; provided, among other things, the
company’s and your personal objectives are met. Please note that participation
in the Executive Bonus Plan is at the discretion of Omnicell’s management and
that they reserve the right to make changes to such bonus plan at any time.

 

Your start date in this new position will be mutually determined upon acceptance
of these terms.

 

As has always been the case, your employment at Omnicell is and continues to be
at-will employment, which means it may be terminated by you or by Omnicell at
any time without liability, and is acknowledged by you upon signing this offer
letter. In addition, Omnicell may change your position, duties, compensation,
benefits and work location from time to time at its discretion.

To Renee Luhr

 

Upon your acceptance of employment as Vice President of Sales with
Omnicell, Inc. (the “Company”), and subject to Board of Director approval, you
shall also be granted the following benefit:  in the event of an Acquisition of
the Company (as defined below), and provided one of the following events occurs
within 12 months of the Acquisition of the Company: (i) you are terminated
without Cause (as defined below); (ii) the principal place of the performance of
your responsibilities and duties is changed to a location outside of the San
Mateo, Santa Clara, or San Francisco counties; or (iii) there is a material
reduction in your responsibilities and duties without Cause; then (a) you shall
receive severance pay equivalent to twelve (12) months’ salary at your base rate
of pay in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the triggering events
described above (and further provided that you agree to execute Omnicell’s
standard waiver and release agreement); and (b) the unvested portion of each of
your stock options granted to you under the Company’s 1999 Equity Incentive
Plan, the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan,
(collectively, the “Plans”) shall accelerate and immediately become fully-vested
and exercisable.

 

An “Acquisition”, as used herein shall mean any consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into any other corporation or other entity or person in which
the stockholders of the Company prior to such consolidation, merger or
reorganization shall own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of
the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation, merger or
reorganization, any other corporate reorganization in which in excess of fifty
percent (50%) of the Company’s voting power is transferred , or any transaction
in which any person, together with its affiliates, accumulates fifty percent or
more of the Company’s voting power.

 

As used herein, “Cause” shall mean:  (i) conviction of any felony;
(ii) participation in fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement or other similar act
of dishonesty or material misconduct against the Company or any subsidiaries or
affiliates thereof; or (iii) participation in any act materially contrary to the
Company’s best interest.

 

Acceleration may be limited in certain circumstances, in particular, if any such
acceleration the (“Benefit”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and (ii) but for this
amendment, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code, then such Benefit will be reduced to the extent necessary so that
no portion of the Benefit would be subject to the excise tax, as determined in
good faith by the Company; provided, however, that if, in the absence of any
such reduction (or after such reduction), you believe that the Benefit or any
portion thereof (as reduced, if applicable) would be subject to the excise tax,
the Benefit shall be reduced (or further reduced) to the extent determined by
you in your discretion so that the excise tax would not apply. If, not
withstanding any such reduction (or in the absence of such reduction), the
Internal Revenue Service determines that you are liable for the excise tax as a
result of the Benefit, then you will be obligated to return to the Company,
within thirty (30) days of such determination by the IRS, a portion of the
Benefit sufficient such that none of the benefit retained by you constitutes a
“parachute payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G that is subject to
the excise tax.

 

The Company is please to provide this benefit to you in recognition of your
continuing dedication to the success of the Company. Should you have any
questions regarding this matter, please contact the undersigned at 650-251-6120.

 

Omnicell, Inc.

 

Randall A. Lipps

Chairman, President and CEO
