Subject to the terms of the award agreement governing the Equity Award and Section 4.3, in the event of a Change in Control in which the Acquiror does not assume or continue any of then-outstanding Equity Awards held by the Participant or substitute for any such awards substantially equivalent awards, then the vesting, exercisability and settlement of each such award that, as of immediately prior to the Change in Control, was scheduled to vest based solely on the continued service of Participant and which is not assumed, continued or substituted for shall be accelerated by crediting the 

1

 



 

Participant with the number of months of Service equal to the Participant’s Severance Period effective immediately prior to but conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control.  

4.2Equity Awards – Assumed or Substituted.  In the event of a Change in Control in which the Acquiror assumes or continues the Company’s rights and obligations under any of the then-outstanding Equity Awards held by the Participant or substitutes for any such Equity Awards substantially equivalent awards, then each such Equity Award shall vest and become exercisable or settleable as determined in accordance with the agreement applicable to such award as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control.

4.3Effect On Equity Award Agreements. The provisions contained in Section 4.1 of this Plan shall apply notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any agreement evidencing an Equity Award granted to a Participant to the extent such agreement confers lesser rights to the Participant.

5.Termination Upon a Change in Control

In the event of a Participant’s Termination Upon a Change in Control, the Participant shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits described in this Section 5.  The provision, time and manner of payment or distribution of all such compensation and benefits shall be subject to, limited by and construed in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable, including any delay in payments after a Termination Upon a Change in Control of a Specified Employee required by Section 409A.

5.1Accrued Obligations.  The Participant shall be entitled to receive:

(a)all salary, commissions and accrued but unused vacation earned through the date of the Participant’s termination of employment;

(b)payment within ten (10) business days following the Participant’s termination of employment of any Prior Year Bonus or portion thereof which the Committee determines has been earned by the Participant as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment under the terms of the programs, plans or agreements providing for such bonus, but which remains unpaid as of such date;

(c)reimbursement within ten (10) business days of submission of proper expense reports of all expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred by the Participant in connection with the business of the Company Group prior to his or her termination of employment; and

5.2Severance Benefits.  Provided that the Participant executes the Release prior the Release Deadline and such Release then becomes effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms, the Participant shall be entitled to receive the following severance payments and benefits:

(a)Salary and Bonus.  On the first payroll date following the last to occur of (i) the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable; and (ii) if the Participant is a Specified Employee, six months after the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, the Company shall pay to the Participant in a lump sum cash payment an amount equal to the sum of (1) the Participant’s Base Salary Rate multiplied by the number of months in the Severance Period applicable to the Participant and (2) the Participant’s Annual Bonus multiplied by the Severance Multiplier applicable to the Participant.

(b)Health Insurance Benefits.  For the period commencing immediately following the Participant’s Separation from Service and continuing for the two (2) month anniversary of the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service, the Company shall arrange to provide the Participant and his or her dependents with health insurance benefits (including medical, dental and vision) substantially similar to those provided to the Participant and his or her dependents immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment (without giving effect to any reduction in such benefits constituting Good Reason).  The Company may satisfy its obligation to provide a continuation of health insurance benefits by paying, or reimbursing the Participant for, that portion of the Participant’s premiums required under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) that exceed the amount of premiums that the Participant would have been required to pay for continuing coverage had he or she continued in employment.  Such benefits shall be provided to the Participant at the same premium cost to the Participant and at the same coverage level as in effect as of the Participant’s termination of employment (without giving effect to any reduction in such benefits constituting Good Reason); provided, however, that the Participant shall be subject to any change in the premium cost and/or level of coverage applicable generally to all employees holding the position or comparable position with the Company which the Participant held immediately prior to the Change in Control.  If the Participant becomes eligible to receive such coverage under another employer’s benefit plans during the applicable two (2) month period, the Participant shall report such eligibility to the Company, and the Company’s obligations under this Section 5.2(b) shall be secondary to the coverage provided by such other employer’s plans.  For the balance of any period in excess of the applicable two (2) month period during which the Participant is entitled to continuation coverage under COBRA, the Participant shall be entitled to maintain coverage for himself or herself and the Participant’s eligible dependents at the Participant’s own expense.

(c)Acceleration of Vesting of Equity Awards.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any agreement evidencing an Equity Award granted to a Participant, the vesting, exercisability and settlement of each of the Participant’s outstanding Equity Awards that, as of immediately prior to such the Participant’s Separation from Service, was scheduled to vest based solely upon Participant’s continued services shall be accelerated in full effective as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service so that each such Equity Award held by the Participant shall be immediately exercisable and fully vested (and, in the case 

3

 



 

of Restricted Stock Units, shall be settled in full), as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service.

(d)Outplacement Assistance.  For one (1) month following on the date of termination of a Participant’s employment, such Participant shall receive outplacement assistance services from Right Management, and the Company shall pay all costs of such services.

5.3Indemnification; Insurance.

(a)In addition to any rights a Participant may have under any indemnification agreement previously entered into between the Company and such Participant (a “Prior Indemnity Agreement”), from and after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Participant against any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the Participant is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company Group, or is or was serving at the request of the Company Group as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, and the Company shall also advance fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) as incurred by the Participant to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.  In the event of a conflict between the provisions of a Prior Indemnity Agreement and the provisions of this Plan, the Participant may elect which provisions shall govern.

(b)For a period of six (6) years from and after the date of termination of employment of a Participant who was an officer and/or director of the Company at any time prior to such termination of employment, the Company shall maintain a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of such Participant which provides him or her with coverage no less favorable than that provided for the Company’s continuing officers and directors.

6.Federal Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the Code

6.1Excess Parachute Payment.  In the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Participant pursuant to this Plan or otherwise (collectively, the “Payments”) would subject the Participant to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) due to the characterization of such Payments as an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code, then, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Plan, the amount of such Payments will not exceed the amount which produces the greatest after-tax benefit to the Participant.  For purposes of this Section 6.1, if Payments must be reduced, then such reductions shall come first from the cash severance otherwise payable to the Participant.

6.2Determination by Accountants.  Upon the occurrence of any event (the “Event”) that would give rise to any Payments pursuant to this Plan, the Company shall 

4

 



 

promptly request a determination in writing to be made within thirty (30) days of the date of the Event by independent public accountants (the “Accountants”) selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Participant of the amount and type of such Payments which would produce the greatest after-tax benefit to the Participant.  For the purposes of such determination, the Accountants may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.  The Company and the Participant shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make their required determination.  The Company shall bear all fees and expenses the Accountants may reasonably charge in connection with their services contemplated by this Section.  Unless payment is required to commence earlier in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code, in the event that the report of the Accountants is not received within thirty (30) days following the Participant’s Termination Upon Change in Control, the Company shall pay to the Participant the cash severance benefits required by Section 5.2 above (subject to any reduction necessary to produce the greatest after-tax benefit to the Participant) within ten (10) days of the later of the date of the Accountants’ report of their determination or the payment date determined in accordance with Section 5.2(a) above.

7.Conflict in Benefits; Noncumulation of Benefits

7.1Effect of Plan.  The terms of this Plan, when an individual becomes a  Participant in this Plan, shall supersede all prior arrangements, whether written or oral, and understandings regarding the subject matter of this Plan and shall be the exclusive agreement for the determination of any payments and benefits due to the Participant upon the events described in Sections 4, 5 and 6.  However, if a prior plan or agreement requires the consent of the Participant in order for such prior plan or agreement to be modified or amended or superseded by this Plan, such consent must be obtained from such employee in order for this Plan to supersede such prior plan or agreement, it being understood that, in accordance with Section 7.2, the benefits payable hereunder shall be reduced by the benefits payable under such plan or agreement.  Subject to the foregoing, any benefits under this Plan will be provided to Participants in lieu of benefits under any other separation plan or agreement.  

7.2Noncumulation of Benefits.  Except as expressly provided in a written agreement between a Participant and the Company which expressly disclaims this Section 7.2 and is approved by the Board or the Committee, the total amount of payments and benefits that may be received by the Participant as a result of the events described in Sections 4, 5 and 6 pursuant to the Plan, shall be reduced, in whole or in part, by any other severance benefits, pay in lieu of notice, or other similar benefits payable to such Participant by the Company in connection with such Participant’s termination, including but not limited to payments or benefits pursuant to (a) any applicable legal requirement, including, without limitation, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, or (b) any Company agreement, arrangement, policy or practice relating to such Participant’s termination of employment with the Company, including any existing employment agreement between such Participant and the Company.  The benefits provided under this Plan are intended to satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, any and all statutory obligations that may arise out of any Participant’s termination of employment.  Such reductions shall be applied on a retroactive basis, with severance benefits previously paid being recharacterized as payments pursuant to the Company’s statutory obligation.

5

 



 

8.Exclusive Remedy

The payments and benefits provided pursuant to this Plan (plus any payments and benefits provided pursuant a Prior Indemnity Agreement or an agreement evidencing an Equity Award, subject to such acceleration of vesting, exercisability and settlement provided by this Plan), if applicable, shall constitute the Participant’s sole and exclusive remedy for any alleged injury or other damages arising out of the cessation of the employment relationship between the Participant and the Company in the event of the Participant’s Termination Upon a Change in Control.  The Participant shall be entitled to no other compensation, benefits, or other payments from the Company as a result of any Termination Upon a Change in Control with respect to which the payments and benefits described in this Plan (plus any payments and benefits provided pursuant a Prior Indemnity Agreement or an agreement evidencing an Equity Award, subject to such acceleration of vesting, exercisability and settlement provided by this Plan), if applicable, have been provided to the Participant, except as expressly set forth in this Plan or, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, in a duly executed plan or agreement between Company and the Participant.

9.Proprietary and Confidential Information

The Participant agrees to continue to abide by the terms and conditions of the confidentiality and/or proprietary rights agreement between the Participant and the Company or any other member of the Company Group.

10.Nonsolicitation

If the Company performs its obligations to deliver the payments and benefits set forth in this Plan (plus any payments and benefits provided pursuant a Prior Indemnity Agreement or an agreement evidencing an Equity Award, subject to such acceleration of vesting, exercisability and settlement provided by this Plan), then, for a period equal to the greater of (a) one (1) year following the Participant’s Termination Upon a Change in Control, and (b) the Severance Period, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, recruit, solicit or invite the solicitation of any employees of the Company to terminate their employment relationship with the Company.

11.No Contract of Employment

Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any amendment thereto, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any person the right to be retained by the Company, a Successor or any other member of the Company Group.  Except as otherwise established in an employment agreement between the Company and a Participant, the employment relationship between the Participant and the Company is an “at-will” relationship.  Accordingly, either the Participant or the Company may terminate the relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice except as otherwise provided by Section 15.  In addition, nothing in this Plan shall in any manner obligate any Successor or other member of the Company Group to offer employment to any Participant or to continue the employment of any Participant which it does hire for any specific duration of time.

6

 



 

12.Claims for Benefits

12.1ERISA Plan.  This Plan is intended to be (a) an employee welfare plan as defined in Section 3(1) of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and (b) a “top-hat” plan maintained for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company Group.

Any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of this Plan, the interpretation, validity or enforceability of this Plan or the alleged breach thereof shall be submitted by the parties to binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association or as otherwise required by ERISA; provided, however, that (a) the arbitrator shall have no authority to make any ruling or judgment that would confer any rights with respect to trade secrets, confidential and proprietary information or other intellectual property; and (b) this arbitration provision shall not preclude the parties from seeking legal and equitable relief from any court having jurisdiction with respect to any disputes or claims relating to or arising out of the misuse or misappropriation of intellectual property.  Judgment may be entered on the award of the arbitrator in any court having jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant initiates the arbitration, and the arbitrator finds that the Participant’s claims were totally without merit or frivolous, then the Participant shall be responsible for the Participant’s own attorneys’ fees and costs.

14.Successors and Assigns

14.1Successors of the Company.  The Company shall require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, expressly, absolutely and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place.  Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement shall be a material breach of this Plan and shall entitle the Participant to resign for Good Reason and to receive the benefits provided under this Plan in the event of Termination Upon a Change in Control.

14.2Acknowledgment by Company.  If, after a Change in Control, the Company fails to reasonably confirm that it has performed the obligation described in Section 14.1 within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Participant, such failure shall be a material breach of this Plan and shall entitle the Participant to resign for Good Reason and to receive the benefits provided under this Plan in the event of Termination Upon a Change in Control.

14.3Heirs and Representatives of Participant.  This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devises, legatees or other beneficiaries.

16.Termination and Amendment of Plan

The Plan may be terminated or amended in any respect by resolution adopted by two-thirds (2/3) of the Board, provided, that during a Change in Control Period, the Plan may not be terminated or amended until the date all payments and benefits eligible to be received hereunder shall have been paid.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Board or the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the consent of any Participant, amend the Plan, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature (including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code), and to the administrative regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder.

17.Miscellaneous Provisions

17.2No Duty to Mitigate; Obligations of Company.  A Participant shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit contemplated by this Plan by seeking employment with a new employer or otherwise, nor shall any such payment or benefit (except for benefits to the extent described in Section 6.2) be reduced by any compensation or benefits that the Participant may receive from employment by another employer.  Except as otherwise provided by this Plan, the obligations of the Company to make payments to the Participant and to make the arrangements provided for herein are absolute and unconditional and may not be reduced by any circumstances, including without limitation any set-off, counterclaim, 

10

 



 

recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against the Participant or any third party at any time.

17.4Waiver.  No waiver by the Participant or the Company of any breach of, or of any lack of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Plan by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time.

No right or interest of any Participant under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Participant.

17.8Tax Withholding.  All payments made pursuant to this Plan will be subject to withholding of applicable income and employment taxes.

17.9Consultation with Legal and Financial Advisors.
