 7Form of Change of Control Severance Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10.2 
  
 CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
  
 This CHANGE OF CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), effective as of January 1, 2004 (the
“Effective Date”), is entered into by and between American Vanguard Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“American Vanguard”), and
                     (the “Executive”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in the context of this Agreement are defined in
Section 8. 
  
 WHEREAS, the Executive provides valuable services
as an employee of American Vanguard or one of its subsidiaries (as applicable, the “Company”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to provide security to the Executive to induce the Executive to continue to provide services to the Company. 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual
covenants herein contained the value of which is hereby acknowledged, the Executive and the Company agree as follows: 
  
 1. Company Obligation. Subject to the limitations of this Agreement, if, during the Change of Control Period, the Company shall terminate the
Executive’s employment or the Executive shall terminate his employment with the Company for Good Reason (either a “Termination”), the Company shall: (a) pay to the Executive in a single sum within thirty (30) days after the
Termination an amount equal to two (2) times the Executive’s Compensation; (b) continue to pay Medical and Hospital Benefits for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months beginning with the date of Termination; (c) provide executive level
outplacement assistance benefits; and (d) accelerate all of the Executive’s options or rights to acquire securities of the Company that are outstanding immediately prior to the date of a Change of Control, whether or not then exercisable, so
that they automatically become immediately exercisable in full thereafter. If the Executive’s employment is terminated with the Company during the Change of Control Period for any reason, excluding a termination for Good Reason, or if the
Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment due to Cause, death or the Executive’s disability which renders the Executive unable to perform the essential functions of the position, this Agreement shall terminate without any
obligation of the Company to the Executive hereunder. If the Executive is offered employment by a successor to the Company or its business or assets or by its Affiliate or a successor to such Affiliate or its business or assets on terms and
conditions that are reasonably comparable to the Executive’s terms and conditions of employment with the Company (including this Agreement), the Company shall not have an obligation hereunder to the Executive. If any payment under this
Agreement, either alone or together with any other payment, benefit or transfer of property which the Executive receives or has a right to receive from the Company or its Affiliate (the “Total Payments”), would constitute a nondeductible
“excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, amended (the “Code”)) or nondeductible “employee remuneration” under Section 162(m) of the Code, such payment under this
Agreement 
  

 1 

 shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of the payment under this Agreement being such a
nondeductible payment under the Code. The Company agrees to undertake such reasonable efforts as it may determine in its sole discretion to prevent any payment under this Agreement from constituting a nondeductible payment, provided the Company is
not obligated to incur additional cost in order to make a payment nondeductible. The determination of any reduction under the preceding sentences shall be made by the Company in good faith, and such determination shall be binding on the Executive.
The reduction provided by the fifth sentence of this Section 1 shall apply only if, after reduction for any applicable federal excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code and federal income tax imposed by the Code, the total payment accruing to
the Executive would be less than the amount of the Total Payments as reduced under said fifth sentence and after reduction for federal income taxes. 
  
 2. Executive Obligation. As condition of the Company’s performance of its obligations under Section 1, the Executive shall execute and deliver
to the Company a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, releasing the Company and its representatives, agents and advisors from all past, then-current and future claims and liabilities, whether known or
unknown, that the Executive may have. 
  
 3. Other
Benefits. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any other plan, program, policy, practice, contract or agreement of or with the Company or its Affiliate for which the
Executive is a party or may qualify (collectively, the “Other Benefits”), nor shall anything in this Agreement limit or otherwise affect the rights of the Company or the Executive under any Other Benefits. Any amounts payable or rights or
benefits furnished to the Executive under any Other Benefits existing at or subsequent to the Termination shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such Other Benefits and without regard to this Agreement, except as explicitly modified by
this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent the amounts payable or rights or benefits furnished to the Executive under such Other Benefits exceed or are more favorable to the Executive than this Agreement, such Other Benefits shall govern
and control. Amounts payable or in respect of this Agreement shall not be taken into account with respect to any other employee benefit plan or arrangement. 
  
 4. Mitigation. The Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable
to the Executive under this Agreement, and the amounts payable under this Agreement shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. The Company’s obligation to make the payment provided for in this Agreement and
otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others. 
  

 2 

 5. Successors. 
  
 (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and shall not be assignable by the Executive. This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives, including the Executive’s executor, trustee or administrator. 
  
 (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. 
  
 (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement. 
  
 6. Resolution of Disputes. Any dispute related to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement shall be
enforceable only by arbitration in Orange County, California (or such other metropolitan area to which the Company’s principal executive officers may be relocated if such relocation does not result in Good Reason for the Executive to terminate
employment), in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, before a panel of three arbitrators, one of whom shall be selected by the Company, the second of whom shall be selected by the
Executive and the third of whom shall be selected by the other two arbitrators. In the absence of the American Arbitration Association, or if for any reason arbitration under the arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association cannot be
initiated, or if one of the parties fails or refuses to select an arbitrator, or if the arbitrators selected by the Company and the Executive cannot agree on the selection of the third arbitrator within seven days after such time as the Company and
the Executive have each been notified of the selection of the other’s arbitrator, the necessary arbitrator or arbitrators shall be selected by the presiding judge of the court of general jurisdiction in the metropolitan area where arbitration
under this Section would otherwise have been conducted. The arbitrators shall award to the Executive his reasonable legal fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration proceeding hereunder if (i) the arbitration is commenced by the Company
and the Company has no reasonable basis for initiating such proceeding, or (ii) the arbitration is commenced by the Executive and the Executive prevails on the Executive’s claim in the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrators shall award to the
Company its legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with any arbitration proceeding hereunder if the arbitration proceeding is commenced by the Executive, and the Executive has no reasonable basis for initiating such proceeding. The parties
agree that the arbitration panel shall construe this Section 6 to determine whether either party is entitled to recover its cost and fees hereunder. Any award entered by the arbitrators shall be formal, binding and nonappealable and judgment may be
entered thereon by any party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall be specifically enforceable. 
  
  

 3 

 7. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without
reference to principles of conflict of laws. The headings or captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement
executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

Agreement, the following whenever used in the capitalized form shall have the meaning set forth below unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. 
  
 (a) “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any individual, corporation, partnership, association, joint-stock company, trust,

 (b) “Annual Bonus” means the gross, annual bonus payable to the

Company’s (or its Affiliate) shareholders immediately prior to the effective time of the merger or consolidation will beneficially own immediately after the effective time of the merger or consolidation securities of the surviving or new
corporation having less than 50% of the “voting power” of the surviving or new corporation, including “voting power” exercisable on a contingent or deferred basis as well as immediately exercisable “voting power”;

  

 5 

   (B) upon the consummation of a sale, lease, exchange or other transfer or

assets of the Company (or its Affiliate) on a consolidated basis, in connection with a bona fide financing shall not constitute a Change of Control; or 
  
   (C) when any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) is
or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act as in effect on date hereof), directly or indirectly of more than fifty percent (50%) of the common stock of the Company (or its Affiliate).

Change of Control or as the same may be increased from time to time during the term of this Agreement, other than a reduction which is a reduction generally applicable to all senior officers or executives of the Company and its Affiliates,
including, without limitation, the Company’s Affiliates and successors after a Change of Control; 
  
   (C) any failure either to continue in effect any material benefit or incentive plan or arrangement (including, without

of Control or to substitute and continue other plans providing the Executive with substantially similar benefits (all of the foregoing is hereinafter referred to as “Benefit Plans”), or the taking of any action which would substantially
and adversely affect the Executive’s participation in or materially reduce the Executive’s benefits or compensation under any such Benefit Plan or deprive the Executive of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by the Executive on the date of
a Change of Control; 
  
   (D) a
relocation of more than 50 miles from the location of the principal executive offices of the Company, or the relocation of the Executive’s principal place of employment for the Company of more than 50 miles, to any place other than the location
at which the Executive performed his duties on the date of a Change of Control; or 
  
   (E) any failure by any successor or assignee of the Company to continue this Agreement in full force and effect. 

 
 If the Executive does not notify the Company and incurs the Termination within 120 days of
the date the Executive knew or should have reasonably known of the event giving rise to Good Reason, the Executive shall be deemed to have waived the Executive’s right to a Termination based upon such event or the continuing effect or
occurrence of such event. 
  
 (h) “Medical and Hospital
Benefits” mean the medical and hospital benefits that would have been offered to the Executive and the Executive’s family members if the Executive’s employment had not terminated based on the same terms and conditions applicable to
non-terminated similarly situated executives of the Company or its successor and their family members. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (A) any Medical and Hospital Benefits offered in accordance with this Agreement run
simultaneously with any rights to health coverage continuation available to the Executive and the Executive’s family under applicable law and this Agreement shall constitute notice to the Executive and the Executive’s eligible family
members of any right to elect health continuation coverage under the provisions of Section 4980B of the Code, Section 601 et. al. of the Employee Retirement Income 
  

 7 

 Security Act of 1974, as amended, (to the extent applicable) following the expiration of the Medical and Hospital
Benefits coverage period under this Agreement; and (B) if the Executive or any of the Executive’s family members are covered under a group health plan of another employer, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate a plan maintained by the
Company to pay benefits on a primary basis with respect to such person. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Change of Control and Severance Agreement on the date first written above.
