Employment Agreement


 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into on
February 28, 2007 by and between Internet Capital Group Operations, Inc. (the “Company”) and Walter W. Buckley, III (the “Executive”) and shall be effective as of January 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”).
Internet Capital Group, Inc. (“ICG”), the parent of the Company, is also a party hereto for the purposes specifically stated herein. 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive as its Chief Executive Officer and the Executive desires to continue to serve in such capacity on behalf of the Company. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Company and the Executive hereby
agree as follows: 
 1. Employment. 
 (a)
Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall begin as of the Effective Date and shall terminate on December 31, 2009, unless sooner terminated by either party as hereinafter provided; provided, however, that the Term
shall automatically be extended for successive one-year periods on January 1, 2010 and on each subsequent anniversary thereof unless, not later than six months preceding the date of any such extension, either party gives the other party written
notice (in accordance with Section 18) of such party’s intention not to further extend the Term. 
 (b) Duties. The
Executive shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of ICG and the Company and shall report directly to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) as well as to the Board of Directors of ICG (the “ICG Board”). The
Executive shall perform all duties and accept all responsibilities incident to such position as may be reasonably assigned to him by the Board or the ICG Board. 
 (c) Best Efforts. During the Term, the Executive shall devote his best efforts and full time and attention to promote the business and affairs of the Company and its affiliated companies, and shall be engaged
in other business activities only to the extent that such activities do not interfere or conflict with his obligations to the Company hereunder, including, without limitation, obligations pursuant to Section 15 below. The foregoing shall not be
construed as preventing the Executive from (1) serving on corporate, civic, educational, philanthropic or charitable boards or committees, (2) delivering lectures, fulfilling speaking engagements or lecturing at educational institutions
and (3) managing personal investments, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities hereunder and provided that the Executive shall obtain the ICG Board’s consent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld) before serving on any corporate boards or committees (other than the corporate boards or committees of the Company’s partner companies). As used herein, the term “partner companies” shall
have the same meaning as used in ICG’s annual report. 






 2. Base Salary and Bonus. As compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder, the Company shall pay to the
Executive an annual base salary of $450,000. This amount may be subject to annual increases, as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. The Executive’s base salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s existing payroll
policies, and shall be subject to applicable withholding taxes. The Executive shall also be eligible for bonus payments if certain performance goals and targets, established by the Board and the Compensation Committee of the ICG Board (collectively,
the “Compensation Committee”), in its sole discretion, are met. The performance goals and targets shall be determined by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, at the beginning of each fiscal year during the term of this
Agreement. The Compensation Committee shall determine, at the end of each relevant period, whether and to what extent the applicable goals and targets have been achieved, in its sole discretion, based upon actual performance against the applicable
performance goals and targets, and shall notify the Executive of the amount of his bonus award, if any. The Executive’s bonus shall be paid to him not later than two and one-half months following the end of the fiscal year to which it relates,
at the same time and under the same terms and conditions as other executives of the Company. Executive’s target annual bonus shall be 150% of base salary. 
 For purposes of this Section 2, where applicable, references to the “Compensation Committee” shall include the full Board or the ICG Board. 
 3. Equity Compensation. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in any short-term and long-term equity incentive programs established by the Company for its senior level executives generally, including ICG’s 1999 Equity
Compensation Plan and 2005 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, at levels at least commensurate with the benefits provided to other senior executives and with adjustments appropriate for his position as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and of
ICG. 
 4. Retirement and Welfare Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s health, life insurance, long and
short term disability, dental, retirement, and medical programs, if any, pursuant to their respective terms and conditions. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company or any affiliate of the Company from terminating or amending any
employee benefit plan or program from time to time after the effective date of this Agreement. 
 5. Vacation. The Executive shall be entitled to
vacation, holiday and sick leave at levels commensurate with those provided to other senior executive officers of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s vacation, holiday and other pay for time not worked policies. The Executive shall be
entitled to not less than 5 weeks vacation; provided, however, that the Executive may not carry over unused vacation time from one year to the next except as otherwise permitted under the Company’s vacation policy, unless the Compensation
Committee approves additional carryover time. 
  

 2 







 6. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all necessary and reasonable travel and other business
expenses incurred by the Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder in accordance with such reasonable accounting and reporting procedures as the Company may adopt generally from time to time for executives. 
 7. Indemnification. During the Term and thereafter, the Company agrees to indemnify the Executive against all claims arising out of actions or omissions during
the Executive’s service to the Company and ICG, to the same extent and on the same terms and conditions provided for in Article VI of ICG’s bylaws and under the Delaware General Corporation Law, each as in effect on the Effective Date. The
Company agrees it will continue to maintain, or cause ICG to maintain, officers’ and directors’ liability insurance to fund the indemnity described above for so long as such coverage for the benefit of active officers and directors is
maintained by the Company or ICG. 
 8. Termination Without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason Before A Change of Control. 
 (a) The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause (as defined in Section 14) from the position
in which the Executive is employed hereunder upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Executive; provided, however, that in the event that such notice is given, the Executive shall be under no obligation to render any additional
services to the Company and shall be allowed to seek other employment. In addition, the Executive may initiate a termination of employment by resigning under this Section 8 for Good Reason Before A Change of Control (as defined in
Section 14). The Executive shall give the Company not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of such resignation. 
 (b) Upon any
termination or resignation described in Section 8(a) above, the Executive shall be entitled to receive only the amount due to the Executive under the Company’s then current severance pay plan for employees, if any. No other payments or
benefits shall be due under this Agreement to the Executive, but the Executive shall be entitled to any benefits accrued and earned in accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(b), if the Executive executes and does not revoke a written release upon any termination or
resignation described in Section 8(a) above, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A but subject to any adjustment determined by the Company to be necessary to comply with applicable law, or regulations, at the time of the
Executive’s termination (the “Release”), of any and all claims against the Company and all related parties, including ICG, with respect to all matters arising out of the Executive’s employment by the Company, or the termination
thereof (other than claims for any entitlements under the terms of this Agreement or under any plans or programs of the Company under which the Executive has accrued and is due a benefit), and any claims against the Executive for actions within the
scope of his employment by the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the payment described in Section 8(b), the following: 
 (1) A lump sum cash severance payment in an amount equal to one and a half (1.5) times the aggregate amount of (A) plus (B) where (A) is the Executive’s annual base salary (as in effect
immediately prior to any reduction, if Executive has resigned for the reason described in Section 14(c)(1)) and (B) is the Executive’s target annual bonus for the year in which the Executive’s termination of employment occurs.
Payment of the lump sum shall be made within 30 days after the effective date of the termination or the end of the revocation period for the Release, if later. 
  

 3 







 (2) A pro rated bonus, if any, for the year in which the Executive’s termination of
employment occurs. The amount of the pro rated bonus shall be based upon the Executive’s achievement of applicable individual performance goals and the Company’s performance for the period, as determined by the Compensation Committee, in
its sole discretion. The amount of the pro rated bonus shall be determined by multiplying the amount of the Executive’s annual bonus so determined, if any, for the fiscal year in which the Executive’s termination occurs, by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days during which the Executive was employed by the Company in the fiscal year of his termination and the denominator of which is 365. Payment of the pro rated bonus shall be made if, as and when bonuses are paid
to other executives of the Company. 
 (3) Medical coverage until the earlier of the last day of the 18-month period following
the date of termination or until the date on which the Executive is eligible for coverage under a plan maintained by a new employer or under a plan maintained by his spouse’s employer, at the level in effect at the date of his termination (or
generally comparable coverage) for himself and, where applicable, his spouse and dependents, as the same may be changed by the Company from time to time for employees generally, as if the Executive had continued in employment during such period; or,
cash in lieu of such coverage in an amount equal to the Executive’s after-tax cost of continuing such coverage, where such coverage may not be continued (or where such continuation would adversely affect the tax status of the plan pursuant to
which the coverage is provided). The COBRA health care continuation coverage period under section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”, shall run concurrently with the foregoing benefit period. 
 (4) All outstanding options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted stock held by the Executive at the date of his
termination of employment that would have vested during the 18-month period immediately following termination had Executive remained employed by the Company during such period shall vest on the date of his termination of employment. Notwithstanding
any provision of the otherwise applicable plans or award agreements, each vested option and SAR (including those that become vested by virtue of the preceding sentence) held by the Executive at the date of his termination of employment will remain
exercisable following the date of the Executive's termination of employment for the period ending on the later of (i) December 31st of the calendar year in which such option or SAR would otherwise have expired (in the absence of this
provision), or (ii) the 15th day of the third month following the date that such option or SAR would otherwise have expired (in the absence of this provision). (5) Outplacement assistance reimbursement by the Company up to a total maximum
of $40,000 until the later of (A) the last day of the 12-month period following the effective date of the Executive’s termination of employment or (B) the date the Executive commences employment with a new employer. (6) Any other
amounts earned, accrued and owing but not yet paid under Section 2 above. 
  

 4 







 9. Voluntary Termination. The Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment for any reason upon 30 days’
prior written notice. In such event, after the effective date of such termination, no further payments shall be due under this Agreement, except that the Executive shall be entitled to any benefits accrued and due in accordance with the terms of any
applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. 
 10. Disability. If the Executive incurs a Disability (as defined below) during the Term, the
Executive’s employment shall terminate on the date of Disability. If the Executive’s employment terminates on account of his Disability, the Executive shall be entitled to receive any benefits accrued and earned in accordance with the
terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall mean a determination by Unum, the Company’s long term disability provider, that: the Executive is Limited
from performing the Material And Substantial Duties of the Executive’s Regular Occupation due to Sickness or Injury; and the Executive has a 20% or more loss in his Indexed Monthly Earnings dues to the same Sickness or Injury. Disability must
begin while the Executive is covered under the Company’s long term disability plan. For purposes of this definition, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 
 (a) “Limited” means what the Executive cannot or is unable to do. 
 (b) “Material And Substantial Duties” means duties that are normally required for the performance of the Executive’s regular occupation and cannot be reasonably omitted or modified, except that if the
Executive is required to work on average in excess of 40 hours per week, Unum will consider the Executive able to perform that requirement if he is working or has the capacity to work 40 hours per week. 
 (c) “Sickness” means an illness or disease. 
 (d) “Injury” means a bodily injury that is the direct result of an accident and not related to any other cause. 
 (e) “Indexed Monthly Earnings” means the Executive’s monthly earnings adjusted on each anniversary of benefit payments by the lesser of 10% or the current annual percentage increase in the Consumer
Price Index. The Executive’s Indexed Monthly 

  

 5 







 
Earnings may increase or remain the same, but will never decrease. The Consumer Price Index is published by the U.S. Department of Labor. Unum reserves the
right to use some other similar measurement if the Department of Labor changes or stops publishing the CPI-W. 
 11. Death. If the Executive dies
while employed by the Company, the Executive’s employment shall terminate on the date of death and the Company shall pay to the Executive’s executor, legal representative, administrator or designated beneficiary, as applicable, any amounts
earned, accrued and owing but not yet paid under Section 2 above and any benefits accrued and earned under the Company’s benefit plans and programs. Otherwise, the Company shall have no further liability or obligation under this Agreement
to the Executive’s executors, legal representatives, administrators, heirs or assigns or any other person claiming under or through the Executive. 
 12. Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for Cause (as defined in Section 14) upon written notice to the Executive, in which event all payments under this Agreement shall cease, except for
salary to the extent already accrued. The Executive shall be entitled to any benefits accrued and earned before his termination in accordance with the terms of any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company. 
  

	13.	Change of Control. 

 (a) Effect of Change of
Control. If a Change of Control (as defined in Section 14) occurs and the Executive’s employment terminates under the circumstances described below, the provisions of this Section 13 shall apply. 
 (b) Termination Without Cause/Resignation for Good Reason After A Change of Control. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by the
Company without Cause at any time during the six-month period before, or the 24-month period following a Change of Control (as defined in Section 14) or if, upon 60 days’ prior written notice, the Executive initiates a termination of
employment and resigns for Good Reason After A Change of Control at any time during the 24-month period following a Change of Control, and, in either case, the Executive executes and does not revoke the Release (as described in Section 8 above)
upon any such termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason After a Change of Control, the provisions of Section 8(c) shall then apply except that: 
 (1) the lump sum amount described in Section 8(c)(1) shall be equal to two times the sum of (A) the Executive’s annual base
salary for the year in which the Executive’s termination of employment occurs (or, if the Executive has resigned following a salary reduction described in Section 14(d)(1), the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to such
reduction), plus (B) the Executive’s target annual bonus for the year in which the Executive’s termination of employment occurs (or, if the Executive has resigned following a target bonus reduction described in Section 14(d)(5),
the target annual bonus for the immediately preceding year); and 
  

 6 







 (2) the 18-month period described in Section 8(c)(3) shall be extended to 24 months.

 (3) all outstanding options, SARs and restricted stock held by the Executive at the date of his termination of employment
shall vest on the date of his termination of employment. 
 If the Executive does not sign or revokes the Release, the provisions of Section 8(b) shall
then apply. In the event the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause and the Executive executes and does not revoke the Release (as described in Section 8 above) upon such termination, and a Change of Control occurs
within the six-month period following such termination, the Company shall make an additional payment to the Executive to reflect the increased amount payable to the Executive under Section 8(c)(1) in accordance with this Section 13(b).
Payment of the additional amount shall be made within 30 days after the effective date of the Change of Control. 
 (c) Enforcement.
It is the intent of the Company that, following a Change of Control, the Executive not be required to incur any expenses associated with the enforcement of his rights under this Agreement by arbitration, litigation or other legal action because the
cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Executive hereunder. Accordingly, the Company shall pay the Executive on demand the amount necessary to reimburse the Executive in full for all
expenses (including all attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Executive in enforcing any of the obligations of the Company under this Section following a Change of Control. 
  

	14.	Definitions.

 (a) Non-Competition. 
 (1) During the Term and until the last day of the six month period following the Executive’s termination of employment for any
reason, the Executive hereby agrees that he will not, except with the prior written consent of the Board and the ICG Board, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, control, finance or participate in the ownership, management, operation,
control or financing of, or be connected as an officer, director, employee, partner, principal, agent, representative, consultant or otherwise with, or use or permit the Executive’s name to be used in connection with, any business or enterprise
or any division of any business or enterprise whose primary business involves or is related to “on-demand” internet software and services, including software as a service. 
 (2) During the Term and until the last day of the 18-month period following the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason,

 (b) Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire. During the Term and for the 18-month period beginning on the
date that the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, the Executive hereby agrees that he will not either directly or through others, solicit, hire or attempt to solicit or hire any employee, consultant, independent
contractor or customer of the Company, ICG or any of its or ICG’s partner companies to change or terminate his, her or its relationship with the Company, ICG or ICG’s partner companies or otherwise to become an employee, consultant,
independent contractor or customer to, for or of any other person or business entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, general solicitations of employment published in a journal, newspaper or other publication of general circulation and not
specifically directed towards such employees, consultants or independent contractors shall not be deemed to constitute solicitation for purposes of this Section 15(b). The Executive shall not be prohibited from employing or maintaining as a
customer any such person or business that contacts the Executive on his or her or its own initiative and without any solicitation on the part of the Executive or soliciting any customer for a business that is not a direct competitor of the Company,
ICG or any of its or ICG’s partner companies. 
 (c) Proprietary Information. At all times, the Executive will hold in strictest
confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Company’s Proprietary Information (defined below), except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with the Executive’s work for the
Company, or unless the Company expressly authorizes such disclosure in writing or it is required by law or in a judicial or administrative proceeding in which event the Executive shall promptly notify the Company of the required disclosure and
assist the Company if it determines to resist the disclosure. “Proprietary Information” shall mean any and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of the Company, ICG, their affiliated entities, any of their
partner companies, investors, and partners, including but not limited to information relating to financial matters, investments, budgets, business plans, marketing plans, personnel matters, business contacts, products, processes, know-how, designs,
methods, improvements, discoveries, inventions, ideas, data, programs, and other works of authorship. The Executive hereby agrees that he will not, at any time, improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any
former employer or any other person to whom the Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and the Executive will not bring into the premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other
person to whom the Executive has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the parties hereto (and each employee, representative, or
other agent of such parties) may disclose to any person, without limitation of any kind, the federal income tax treatment and federal income tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials (including opinions or other tax
analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. 
  

 11 







 (d) Assignment of Inventions. 
 (1) Proprietary Rights and Inventions. The term “Proprietary Rights” shall mean all trade secrets, know-how, patents,
copyrights and other intellectual property rights throughout the world. The term “Inventions” shall mean all trade secrets, inventions, ideas, processes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries,
developments, designs and techniques. 
 (2) Prior Inventions. The Executive has disclosed to the Company a complete
list of all Inventions that the Executive has, alone or jointly with others, made prior to the commencement of the Executive’s employment with the Company that the Executive considers to be his property or the property of third parties and that
the Executive wishes to have excluded from the scope of this Restrictive Covenant Agreement (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”). If no such disclosure is made, the Executive represents that there are no prior Inventions. If,
in the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive incorporates a Prior Invention into a Company product, process or machine, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable,
perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive hereby agrees that he will not incorporate,
or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any Company Inventions without the Company’s prior written consent. 
 (3) Assignment of Inventions. The Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign in the future (when any such inventions or Proprietary Rights are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to the
Company, or its designee, all of the Executive’s right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) which are created, made conceived or reduced to practice by the Executive or under the
Executive’s direction or jointly with others during the Executive’s employment by the Company, whether or not during normal working hours or on the premises of the Company (the “Company Inventions”). The Executive hereby agrees
that he will, at the Company’s request, promptly execute a written assignment to the Company, or its designee, of any such Company Invention, and the Executive will preserve any such Company Invention as part of the Proprietary Information of
the Company. 
 (4) Obligation to Keep Company Informed. The Executive hereby agrees that he will promptly and fully
disclose in writing to the Company all Company Inventions. The Executive further agrees to assist in every proper way and to execute those documents and take such acts as are reasonably requested by the Company to obtain, sustain and from time to
time enforce Proprietary Rights relating to Company Inventions in the United States or any other country. 
 (e) Return of Company
Documents. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, voluntarily or involuntarily, and at any earlier time the Company requests, the Executive will deliver to the person designated by the
Company all originals and copies of all documents and other property of the Company in the Executive’s possession, under the Executive’s control or to which the Executive may have access. The Executive will not reproduce or appropriate for
the Executive’s own use, or for the use of others, any property, Proprietary Information or Company Inventions. 
  

 12 







 16. Legal and Equitable Remedies. Because the Executive’s services are personal and unique because the
Executive has had and will continue to have access to and has become and will continue to become acquainted with the Proprietary Information of the Company and because any breach by the Executive of any of the restrictive covenants contained in
Section 15 would result in irreparable injury and damage for which money damages would not provide an adequate remedy, the Company shall have the right to enforce Section 15 and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or
other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach, or threatened breach, of the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 15. The Executive agrees that in any
action in which the Company seeks injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, the Executive will not assert or contend that any of the provisions of Section 15 are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable. The Executive

 21. Assignment. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, except that the duties and responsibilities of the Executive under this Agreement are of a personal nature
and shall not be assignable or delegable in whole or in part by the Executive. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business or assets of the Company, within 15 days of such succession, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken
place. 
 22. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and
understandings concerning the Executive’s employment by the Company. Subject to Section 28, this Agreement may be changed only by a written document signed by the Executive and the Company. 
 23. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or application thereof to anyone or under any circumstances is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or application of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid or unenforceable provision or application and shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision or application in any other jurisdiction. If any provision is held void, invalid or unenforceable with respect to particular circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all other
circumstances. 
 24. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive and
procedural laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to rules governing conflicts of law. 
 25. Arbitration. Any controversy, claim or
dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Executive’s employment by the Company, including, but not limited to, common law and statutory claims for discrimination, wrongful discharge, and unpaid wages, shall be resolved by
arbitration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania pursuant to then prevailing National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association; provided, that nothing in this subsection shall be construed as precluding the
Company from bringing an action for injunctive or other equitable relief. The Company may elect to proceed to court without first resorting to arbitration in the event that the Executive breaches any provision of Section 15. 
 26. Legal Fees. The Company will pay (or reimburse the Executive for) the reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in by him connection with the negotiation
and documentation of this Agreement up to a maximum of $15,000. 
 27. Third Party Beneficiary. All of the Executive’s covenants and undertakings
under this Agreement, to the extent applicable, shall apply and be enforceable by ICG. In addition, ICG will guaranty each of the Company’s obligations hereunder. 
  

 15 







 28. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 (a) To the extent a payment otherwise due to the Executive hereunder within six months following separation from service must conform to the requirements
of Prop. Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(g)(2) (or any successor provision) to avoid taxation under Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, that payment will be deferred and paid to the Executive
in a lump sum immediately following that six month period. For purposes of this letter, the term “separation from service” has the same meaning defined in Prop. Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1 (or any succeeding guidance)." 
 (b) The parties have attempted in good faith to structure this Agreement so that no amount payable hereunder will be subject to taxation under
Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code. Nonetheless, the parties recognize that after final regulations are issued under Section 409A of the Code, additional changes to this Agreement may be required. Therefore, the Company and the
Executive agree to cooperate to further amend this Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid taxation under Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code; provided that any such amendment shall not require that Executive receive any additional
payments or benefits. 
 29. Stock Ownership Guidelines. The Executive hereby acknowledges that (a) the ICG Board has adopted
stock ownership guidelines for the senior management of ICG, including the Executive, and (b) under such guidelines, the Executive is expected to own the lesser of (1) 40% of any ICG restricted stock granted to him that vests after
July 22, 2005 and (2) ICG stock worth at least 300% of his salary.

 4. The Executive hereby agrees and acknowledges that the payments and benefits provided by the Company are to bring about an
amicable resolution of the Executive’s employment arrangements and are not to be construed as an admission of any violation of any federal, state or local statute or regulation, or of any duty owed by the Company and that the Employment
Agreement was, and this Release is, executed voluntarily to provide an amicable resolution of the Executive’s employment relationship with the Company. 
 5. The Executive hereby acknowledges that nothing in this Release shall prohibit or restrict the Executive from: (i) making any disclosure of information required by law; (ii) providing information to, or testifying or otherwise
