Form of Severance Pay Plan for Executives



 Exhibit 10.16 
 ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. 
 SEVERANCE PAY PLAN FOR EXECUTIVES

 (A part of the Enova International, Inc. Group Benefit Plan) 

 

	1.	INTRODUCTION 

 (a)
Overview. As an Eligible Associate who incurs an Eligible Termination (both defined below), you may be entitled to severance pay and benefits, generally in an amount and form, at such times, and subject to the terms, described in this document.
As used in this Plan, the term ‘associate’ shall mean all employees and officers of Enova International, Inc. (“Enova”) and its affiliates. 
 (b) Effective Date. This Enova International, Inc. Severance Pay Plan for Executives (this “Plan”), a benefit provided under the Enova International, Inc. Group Benefit Plan (the
“Welfare Plan”), is effective as of                     ,
            . 
 (c) Participating Companies. The Plan
generally provides severance benefits for the eligible executives of Enova and its affiliates that Enova designates as participating companies herein (referred to collectively in this document as the “Company”). 

(d) Purpose; Controlling Document. This document, along with the Welfare Plan, serves as the plan document and summary plan
description for this Plan. This Plan replaces and supersedes with respect to Eligible Associates any other severance policy or severance plan in which an Eligible Associate might otherwise be entitled to participate. All such other severance
policies or severance plans (if any) are hereby terminated with respect to Eligible Associates, except to the extent that an Eligible Associate and the Company have entered into an individual severance agreement.  

 

	2.	ELIGIBILITY 

 (a)
General Requirements. You will be an “Eligible Associate” who may be eligible to receive severance benefits under this Plan if: 
  

	 	•	 	 You are an active full-time salaried executive of the Company who has the title of “Vice President” or above and who has at least 1 year of
employment with the Company, and 


  

	 	•	 	 You do not fall within one of the categories described in subsection (b) below. 



(b) Excluded Individuals. The following individuals will not be Eligible Associates and are not eligible to
participate in this Plan: 
  

	 	•	 	 Part-Time or Temporary Associates – individuals who provide services to the Company and who the Company classifies under its customary
worker classification procedures as part-time or temporary employees. 


  

	 	•	 	 Associates With Less Than 1 Year of Employment – individuals who have been employed continuously by the Company for less than 1 year since
their day of hire (or last day of rehire). 


  

	 	•	 	 Associates With Written Employment Agreements – individuals who have written employment agreements with the Company that provide for
severance benefits, except such agreements that merely reference the Company’s general severance policy for such benefits. 


  

	 	•	 	 Union Participants – individuals who are covered under a collective bargaining agreement between a union and the Company, if benefits were
the subject of good faith bargaining, except to the extent that the collective bargaining agreement requires participation in this Plan. 










	 	•	 	 Foreign Associates – individuals who are non-resident aliens and receive no U.S. source income. 



 

	 	•	 	 Non-Employee Service Providers – individuals who provide services to the Company and who the Company does not classify under its customary
worker classification procedures as employees, even if the individuals are common law employees, including, but not limited to, independent contractors, contractor’s employees and leased employees. 



 

	 	•	 	 Individuals on Indefinite Unpaid Leaves of Absence – individuals who are absent from work on indefinite unpaid leaves of absence, except to
the extent eligibility is required by applicable law. 


 (c) Eligible Termination. If you are an
Eligible Associate, you will incur an “Eligible Termination,” and therefore may be eligible to receive benefits under this Plan, if your employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company (and you thereby incur a separation from
service) due to restructuring or job elimination by the Company or due to other circumstances that the Company finds warrant providing severance pay and/or benefits. The Company retains the authority in all cases to determine whether or not a
termination is an “Eligible Termination” for purposes of this Plan; but, as a guideline, an “Eligible Termination” does not typically include any of the following: 

 

	 	•	 	 Your termination for Cause. For purposes hereof, “Cause” means termination of your employment due to (i) what the Company determines in
its sole discretion to be fraud, malfeasance, negligence, dishonesty, or willful misconduct with respect to the Company; (ii) refusal or repeated failure to follow the established reasonable and lawful policies of the Company applicable to
persons in your same or similar position; (iii) conviction of a felony; or (iv) your inadequate performance as determined in the sole discretion of the Company; 



 

	 	•	 	 Your automatic termination due to your disability or any other leave of absence from which you failed to return; 



 

	 	•	 	 Your death; 


  

	 	•	 	 Your voluntary termination, including retirement; or 


  


	 	•	 	 The sale of some or all of the stock or assets of the Company that results in, or is related to, your termination of employment either if (i) you
are offered a position with a successor company (either the buyer or a company related to the buyer), regardless of whether you accept or reject the offer, or (ii) you are not offered employment with such a successor company because you fail
any pre-employment screening or testing (including, but not limited to, drug testing). 


 Your “Last Day
Worked” will be the day your active employment ends and you have a separation from service due to your Eligible Termination. 
  

	3.	SEVERANCE PAY AND BENEFITS 


(a) Determination of Base Amount. As an Eligible Associate who incurs an Eligible Termination, you may be eligible for a certain
amount of severance pay and benefits. In order to receive any of the pay and benefits (other than vacation pay or paid time off (“PTO”) payable under this Plan and described below), you must first sign a Release (as described in
Section 4 below). The following general guidelines for severance pay and benefits will be used to determine benefits available under the Plan, but in all cases, the Company will have complete discretionary authority to award greater or lesser
amounts of severance pay and/or benefits, including no severance pay and/or benefits. The Company will communicate to you the level of benefits, if any, you will be offered under the Plan before you sign your Release. Under these guidelines, the
following amounts may apply: 

  
 2 








 (i) Vacation Pay. A cash payment equal to the
value of any accrued but unused vacation and PTO days that you have earned and for which you have been credited through your Last Day Worked. Value shall be measured based on your base salary or wage level in effect as of your Last Day Worked. This
amount will be paid to you in a single lump sum on the
30th day after your date of separation from service (as
defined below) (or such earlier date as may be required by applicable state law) only to the extent provided under, and consistent with, the Company’s vacation/PTO policy. 

(ii) Severance Pay. 
 (A) Amount. Subject to coordination described in section 3(b) below, following your Last Day Worked, the number of months of base salary paid as severance will be determined based on your
position (and band) and completed Years of Employment, applied to the following chart: 
  

																	
	 Years of
 Employment
	  	Position	 
	  	 Vice
President

(VP)
	 	  	Senior Vice

(SVP)	 	  	 Executive

	  	(Band 97)	 	  	(Band 98)	 	  	(Band 99)	 	  	(Band 100)	 
	 1 but less than 5
	  	 	4 months	  	  	 	6 months	  	  	 	9 months	  	  	 	12 months	  
	 5 but less than 10
	  	 	6 months	  	  	 	9 months	  	  	 	12 months	  	  	 	18 months	  
	 10 but less than 15
	  	 	8 months	  	  	 	12 months	  	  	 	18 months	  	  	 	24 months	  
	 15 but less than 20
	  	 	10 months	  	  	 	15 months	  	  	 	24 months	  	  	 	24 months	  
	 20 or more
	  	 	12 months	  	  	 	18 months	  	  	 	24 months	  	  	 	24 months	  

 In no event will severance pay exceed 24 months of base salary. 

For this purpose, “Years of Employment” means the number of full 12-month periods of continuous employment you have worked as a
full-time, regular associate with the Company beginning on your most recent date of hire or rehire with the Company (and, to the extent determined by the Plan Administrator (as defined below), in its sole discretion, with predecessor employers
acquired by the Company). The rate of severance pay will be calculated by using your base weekly salary or wage level in effect as of your Last Day Worked. For associates not eligible for benefits under the Plan, the Company may determine, in its
sole discretion, to pay some or no severance pay. Continuous uninterrupted prior years of service with Cash America International, Inc. or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries during the period immediately preceding the Effective Date will be
counted towards your Years of Employment under this Plan. 
 (B) Payment. Such amount of severance
pay shall be paid in substantially equal installments as salary continuation for the period specified above, beginning upon the date of your separation from service (your “Severance Period”). Such installment payments shall be paid in
accordance with the Company’s regular payroll procedures for other similarly-situated active associates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment of severance pay shall be delayed until after the expiration of the revocation period required
for an effective age-based release (see section 4 below), and any amount of severance pay otherwise due before the end of such revocation period shall be accumulated without 

  
 3 








 
interest and paid upon the day after the end of such period in a single lump-sum payment. In no event shall the first payment be made more than 74 days following your Eligible Termination. Each
payment shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 409A”). 
 (iii) Welfare Benefits. 
 (A) Medical Benefits. Upon
an Eligible Termination, your group medical, dental, and vision benefits under the Company’s group health plan(s) will end as of your Last Day Worked. If you elect to continue health coverage under the group health plan continuation coverage
provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”), then, while such coverage is in effect through your Severance Period, the Company will reimburse you for the portion of the premium for group health plan coverage
that is in excess of what similarly-situated active associates would pay for similar coverage under the Company’s plans during that period. The amount of each month’s reduced premium shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of
Section 409A. To the extent the continued subsidized coverage provided to you is treated as discriminatory in favor of a highly compensated individual under Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company will report the amount of
the reimbursement as taxable income on your Form W-2. 
 (B) Other Welfare Benefits. Other group welfare
benefits (e.g., life, accidental death and dismemberment, and disability insurance) will end as of your Last Day Worked, but some of the insurance policies may allow you to elect to convert coverage to an individual policy. 

(iv) Outplacement Services. Enova will pay for or reimburse you for outplacement services, not to exceed the dollar
amount and months of services specified in the following chart with respect to your position and band on your Last Day Worked. An invoice or receipt evidencing outplacement services must be provided prior to any payments and/or reimbursements being
made by Enova hereunder. Enova may provide a recommended outplacement service provider for you, but you may propose a different one for Enova’s consideration and approval.

 (v) Section 409A Compliance. 

(A) Generally. The Company intends the severance pay and benefits described above to be exempt from
Section 409A under the short-term deferral exemption and/or the separation pay exemption to the full extent available under Section 409A, and such provisions shall be interpreted accordingly. To the extent that such exemptions do not apply
to some or all of the severance pay and benefits, this Plan is intended to satisfy Section 409A and shall be interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan or the Company’s other plans to the contrary, (i) any taxable
reimbursement made under any of these plans will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense to be reimbursed was incurred, (ii) the amount of such reimbursements during any calendar
year shall not affect the benefits provided in any other calendar year, except as permitted under Section 

  
 4 








 
409A, and (iii) taxable continued benefits are not subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefits. 

(B) Separation from Service. For purposes of this Plan, the term “separation from service” means
separation from service as defined in Section 409A. 
 (C) 6-Month Delay in Certain Cases.
Notwithstanding anything in Section 3(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) to the contrary, to the extent any payments made under Section 3(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of this Plan are not exempt from Section 409A and the Eligible
Associate is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A) on the date of separation from service, the payments described in Sections 3(a)(i) (ii) and (iii) shall be delayed until 6 months after the date of Eligible
Associate’s separation from service, and any payments that would otherwise be payable during such 6-month period shall be accumulated without interest and paid in a lump sum on the 6-month anniversary of the date of Eligible Associate’s
separation from service. 
 (b) Coordination of Severance Pay with Various Benefits. The amount of any severance pay
and/or benefits payable will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by any severance, separation or termination pay or benefits that the Company pays or is required to pay to you through insurance or otherwise under any plan or contract of the
Company or under any federal or state law. The provisions in subsections (i) and (ii) below are illustrative only: 
 (i) Withholding. The Company will withhold from severance pay any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to applicable federal, state or local law; any applicable insurance premiums; and any
other amounts authorized or required by Company policy including, but not limited to, withholding for garnishments, judgments or other court orders. 
 (ii) WARN Benefits. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and similar state laws (collectively, “WARN”) generally require employers to provide certain pay and benefits to
employees in the event that required notification procedures are not followed in advance of a plant closing or mass layoff. If the Company incurs any such liability under WARN with respect to your termination, the amount of severance pay and
benefits otherwise payable to you under this Plan will be reduced by the Company’s legally-required payments and benefits provided to you. 
  

	4.	GENERAL RELEASE 

 As a
condition to your receiving any severance pay or continued benefits (as described above) , you must sign a written release agreement (“Release”) containing any terms specified by the Company for (i) your release of the Company and its
affiliates from all claims arising from your employment or termination, (ii) your non-revocation of that release during the 7-day period applicable to age-based claims (if applicable), and (iii) your promise to comply with specified
confidentiality, noncompetition and/or nonsolicitation provisions. The Company may terminate your eligibility for severance pay and benefits if you fail to sign, or follow the terms of, this Release. You must sign the Release after your Last Day
Worked and within the time period specified by the Company in order to be eligible for any benefits under this Plan. 
  

	5.	ADMINISTRATION 

 (a)
Interpretation. The Plan Administrator (as defined in Section 6(c)(ii) below) (the “Plan Administrator”) has the exclusive authority and discretion to interpret this Plan with respect to any question arising under this Plan,
including eligibility for benefits and the amount, term, form, timing and duration of benefits. Any variation in the amount, form or terms of an individual’s benefits from the severance pay described herein will be construed as a plan amendment
affecting only that individual. The interpretations, decisions and determinations of the Plan Administrator are conclusive and binding on the Company and all of its associates, including the applicable Eligible Associates. 

  
 5 








 (b) Rights. This Plan does not create any vested rights in any individual. In
addition, this Plan does not affect the right of the Company to conduct its business affairs, including laying off or terminating the employment of any associate. 
 (c) Amendment and Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate (in whole or in part) this Plan and the Welfare Plan at any time. 

 

	6.	SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 


(a) Severance Pay Claims. 
 (i) Claims. If you do not receive severance pay or if you disagree with the amount or length of payments, you may file a claim in writing with the Plan Administrator. A response to your claim will
be provided to you within 90 days (180 days if you are notified of an extension). If your claim is denied, the Plan Administrator will provide written notice to you setting forth the specific reasons for denial and the provisions in this Plan or
other documents used to arrive at the decision. 
 (ii) Appeals. You may appeal any denial of benefits,
and you may review pertinent Plan documents to help you prepare for the appeal. Your appeal must be filed with the Plan Administrator in writing within 60 days after you receive written notice of denial of your claim. The Plan Administrator then
will consider your appeal and will notify you of its decision within 60 days (120 days if you are notified of an extension) after the filing of your appeal for review. If the Plan Administrator’s decision is unfavorable, the notification you
receive will explain the reasons for the denial and the provisions in this Plan or other documents used to arrive at the decision. 
 (b) Your Rights Under ERISA. As a participant in this Plan, you are entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”). ERISA provides that all Plan participants will be entitled to: 
 (i) Examine, without
charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as worksites, all Plan documents and copies of all documents filed by this Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor, such as detailed annual reports. 

(ii) Obtain copies of all Plan documents and other Plan information upon written request to the Plan Administrator. For
example, you may request a current list of participating companies under this Plan. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies. 
 (iii) Receive a summary of this Plan’s annual financial report. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant under this Plan with a copy of this summary annual report.

 In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the
operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate this Plan, called “fiduciaries” of this Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your
employer or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way solely in order to prevent you from obtaining a benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA. 

If your claim for a benefit is denied, in whole or in part, you must receive a written explanation of the reason for the denial. You have
the right to have this Plan review and reconsider your claim. Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request materials from this Plan and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a
federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan
Administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or federal court (although the court may refuse to consider your claim if you have not completed the Plan’s appeals
process as described above). If you are discriminated against for

asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor. If you have any questions about this Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. You should contact the
