Executive Incentive Compensation Program

 EXHIBIT #10.20 
  
 2004 EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM 
  
 An Executive Incentive Compensation Program (“Program”) was implemented in January of 2003. This Program pays incentives to the
members of the Executive Management team for Camden National Corporation (the “Company”), Camden National Bank, UnitedKingfield Bank and Acadia Trust N.A. This Program is an integral part of an overall management strategy that enables the
CEO of the Company to encourage executives to reach the fiscal targets in strategic and operating plans. 
  
 The incentive is based on net income before taxes (NIBT). The Program is set up so the incentive pool is added to target NIBT, so the incentive pool is funded through increasing NIBT above the target level. This
ensures the shareholders that they receive the results that were originally planned. The Program will pay out incrementally when the named company hits 96% of budgeted NIBT. (No incentive is paid if NIBT does not reach 96%.) The incentives increase
incrementally up to 110% of NIBT where it is capped. Each month an updated grid is produced showing current and projected NIBT results for each company. 
  
 Each executive has a targeted incentive percentage based on that position’s contribution to the overall results of the Company. An executive must have an overall
satisfactory performance rating on their individual performance and goals before that executive is eligible to participate in the Program. Each executive’s payout will be based 60% on the named company’s financial results (per the model)
and 40% on each individual executive’s attainment of their own goals as measured by the CEO of the Company. 
  
 After the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm reviews the year-end financial results, and the CEO and Compensation Committee have reviewed each
individual’s performance, the incentive amount will be distributed. 
  
 The
Compensation Committee reserves the right to modify the Executive Incentive Compensation Program if unexpected anomalies result during the application of the pre-defined grid.Form of Change in Control Agreement

 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
  

AGREEMENT by and between AmSouth Bancorporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and
                         (the “Executive”), dated as of the      day of
                    ,                 . 
  
 The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), has determined
that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of
the Company. The Board believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change of Control and to encourage the Executive’s
full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide the Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements upon a Change of Control which ensure that the
compensation and benefits expectations of the Executive will be satisfied and which are competitive with those of other corporations. Therefore, in order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Company to enter into this Agreement.

  
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 
  
 1. Certain Definitions. 
  
 (a) The “Effective Date” shall mean the first date during the
Change of Control Period (as defined in Section 1(b)) on which a Change of Control (as defined in Section 2) occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change of Control occurs and if the Executive’s employment
with the Company is terminated prior to the date on which the Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably
calculated to effect a Change of Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the “Effective Date” shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of
such termination of employment. 
  
 (b) The “Change of
Control Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the third anniversary of the date hereof; provided, however, that commencing on the date one year after the date hereof, and on each annual anniversary of such
date (such date and each annual anniversary thereof shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Renewal Date”), unless previously terminated, the Change of Control Period shall be automatically extended so as to terminate three years from
such Renewal Date, unless at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date the Company shall give notice to the Executive that the Change of Control Period shall not be so extended. 
  
 2. Change of Control. For the purpose of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean: 
  
 (a) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning
of Section 

  

 1 

 
13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership
(within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (i) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (ii) the combined voting power of the
then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the following
acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company, (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company
or any corporation controlled by the Company or (iv) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection (c) of this Section 2; or 
  
 (b) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the
“Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the
Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any
such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf
of a Person other than the Board; or 
  
 (c) Consummation of a
reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (i) all or substantially
all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, more than 60% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the
corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more
subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (excluding
any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of,
respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership
existed prior to the Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the
initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or 
  
 (d) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 3. Employment Period; Prior Agreements. 
  
 (a) The Company hereby agrees to continue the Executive in its employ, and
the Executive hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the Company subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of such date (the “Employment
Period”). [This Agreement completely replaces and supersedes that certain Executive Severance Agreement between the Executive and the Company dated
                    .] 
  
 (b) The Executive and the Company acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Executive and the
Company, the employment of the Executive by the Company is “at will” and, subject to Section 1(a) hereof, prior to the Effective Date, the Executive’s employment and/or this Agreement may be terminated by either the Executive or the
Company at any time prior to the Effective Date, in which case the Executive shall have no further rights under this Agreement. From and after the Effective Date this Agreement shall supersede any other agreement between the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof. 
  
 4. Terms of Employment.

  
 (a) Position and Duties. 
  
 (i) During the Employment Period, (A) the Executive’s
position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time
during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date and (B) the Executive’s services shall be performed at the location where the Executive was employed immediately preceding the Effective Date or any office or location less than
35 miles from such location. 
  
 (ii) During the
Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive agrees to devote reasonable attention and time during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and, to
the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the Executive hereunder, to use the Executive’s reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During the Employment Period it shall not be
a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so long
as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any such
activities have been conducted by the Executive prior to the Effective Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the Effective Date shall thereafter be deemed not
to interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities to the Company. 
  

 3 

 (b) Compensation. 
  
 (i) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall receive an annual base salary
(“Annual Base Salary”), which shall be paid at a monthly rate, at least equal to twelve times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable, including any base salary which has been earned but deferred, to the Executive by the Company
and its affiliated companies in respect of the twelve-month period immediately preceding the month in which the Effective Date occurs. During the Employment Period, the Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed no more than 12 months after the last
salary increase awarded to the Executive prior to the Effective Date and thereafter at least annually. Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this Agreement. Annual Base
Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase and the term Annual Base Salary as utilized in this Agreement shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased. As used in this Agreement, the term “affiliated companies” shall include
any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company. 
  
 (ii) Annual Bonus. In addition to Annual Base Salary, the Executive shall be awarded, for each fiscal year ending during the
Employment Period, an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) in cash at least equal to the Executive’s highest bonus under the Company’s Executive Incentive Plan, or any comparable bonus under any predecessor or successor plan, or
otherwise, for the last three full fiscal years prior to the Effective Date (annualized in the event that the Executive was not employed by the Company for the whole of such fiscal year) (the “Recent Annual Bonus”). Each such Annual Bonus
shall be paid no later than the end of the third month of the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless the Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of such Annual Bonus. 
  
 (iii) Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans. During
the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in
no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with incentive opportunities (measured with respect to both regular and special incentive opportunities, to the extent, if any, that such distinction is applicable),
savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided by the Company and its affiliated companies for the Executive under such plans, practices, policies
and programs as in effect at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and
its affiliated companies. 
  
 (iv) Welfare
Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, the Executive and/or the Executive’s family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and 

  

 4 

 
shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and its affiliated companies (including,
without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to the extent applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its
affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with benefits which are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of such plans, practices, policies and programs in
effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and
its affiliated companies. 
  
 (v)
Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the most favorable policies, practices and procedures of the
Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to
other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies. 
  
 (vi) Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to fringe benefits, including, without limitation, tax and financial planning services, payment of club dues, and, if
applicable, use of an automobile and payment of related expenses, in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day
period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies. 
  
 (vii) Office and Support Staff. During the Employment
Period, the Executive shall be entitled to an office or offices of a size and with furnishings and other appointments, and to exclusive personal secretarial and other assistance, at least equal to the most favorable of the foregoing provided to the
Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as provided generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer
executives of the Company and its affiliated companies. 
  
 (viii) Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the most favorable plans, policies, programs and practices of the Company and its affiliated
companies as in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of
the Company and its affiliated companies. 
  
 (ix) Performance Unit Grants. Immediately upon commencement of the Employment Period, the Executive shall be paid in cash the value of the Executive’s 

  

 5 

 
performance unit grants outstanding under the AmSouth Bancorporation 1996 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan, or any successor plan thereto, calculated as
provided by the applicable performance unit award grant agreements. 
  
 5. Termination of Employment. 
  
 (a) Death or
Disability. The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the Employment Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the
Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with Section 13(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such
event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the
Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive’s duties with the Company on a
full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the
Executive’s legal representative. 
  
 (b) Cause. The
Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: 
  
 (i) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform substantially the Executive’s duties with the Company or one of its
affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company which
specifically identifies the manner in which the Board or Chief Executive Officer believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties, or 
  
 (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and
demonstrably injurious to the Company. 
  
 For purposes of this provision, no act
or failure to act, on the part of the Executive, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the
best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or a senior officer of the Company or based upon the
advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for
Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for
such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive is guilty of the
conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. 
  

 6 

 (c) Good Reason. The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive for Good
Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean: 
  
 (i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as
contemplated by Section 4(a) of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action
not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive; 
  
 (ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of Section 4(b) or Section 9 of this Agreement, other than an
isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive; 
  
 (iii) the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based at any office or location other than as
provided in Section 4(a)(i)(B) hereof or the Company’s requiring the Executive to travel on Company business to a substantially greater extent than required immediately prior to the Effective Date; 
  
 (iv) any purported termination by the Company of the
Executive’s employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement; 
  
 (v) reduction in the amount of coverage provided by the Company’s officer and director liability insurance, or a change in the terms
and conditions of such insurance where such change is a potential material detriment, or the failure by AmSouth to indemnify the Executive to the maximum extent permitted by law (including but not limited to failure to advance or pay litigation
expenses); or 
  
 (vi) any failure by the Company
to comply with and satisfy Section 11(c) of this Agreement. 
  
 For purposes of
this Section 5(c), any good faith determination of “Good Reason” made by the Executive shall be conclusive. 
  
 (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 13(b) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of
Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than thirty days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the 
  

 7 

 
Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not
waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.

  
 (e) Date of Termination. “Date of
Termination” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be,
(ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies the Executive of such termination and (iii) if the Executive’s
employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be. 
  
 6. Obligations of the Company upon Termination. 
  
 (a) Good Reason; Other Than for Cause, Death or Disability. If, during the Employment Period, the Company shall
terminate the Executive’s employment other than for Cause or Disability or the Executive shall terminate employment for Good Reason: 
  
 (i) except as specifically provided below, the Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of
Termination the aggregate of the following amounts: 
  
 A. the sum of (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (2) the product of (x) the higher of (I) the Recent Annual Bonus and (II) the Annual Bonus paid or payable,
including any bonus or portion thereof which has been earned but deferred (and annualized for any fiscal year consisting of less than twelve full months or during which the Executive was employed for less than twelve full months), for the most
recently completed fiscal year during the Employment Period, if any (such higher amount being referred to as the “Highest Annual Bonus”) and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through
the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365 and (3) any compensation previously deferred by the Executive (together with any accrued interest or earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not
theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2), and (3) shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”); and 
  

B. the amount equal to the product of (1) three and (2) the sum of (x) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary, (y) the Highest Annual
Bonus and (z) the value determined by an executive compensation consulting firm with a national reputation to be a competitive annual long term incentive grant (defined as a size-adjusted, 50th percentile grant as of the date of determination as compared to the Company’s peer group); and 
  

 8 

 C. An amount equal to the actuarial present value equivalent of the aggregate benefits
accrued by the Executive as of the date of termination under the terms of the Supplemental Retirement Plan, if such lump sum payment has been elected by the Executive at least one year before termination of employment and employment terminates
within two years after a Change in Control. If such election is not made, or if there is no termination within two years after a Change in Control, payments shall be made in the same form in which the Executive’s benefits under the AmSouth
Bancorporation Retirement Plan are to be paid. For this purpose, the Executive’s interest under the Supplemental Retirement Plan shall be fully vested and such benefits shall be calculated under the assumption that the Executive’s
employment continued following the date of termination for the number of years remaining in the term of this Agreement (i.e., additional years of service credits shall be added); provided, however, that, for the purposes of determining “final
average pay” under the benefit calculation, the Executive’s actual pay history as of the date of termination shall be used. Further, the payment provided under this Subsection 6(a)(i)(C) shall be made in lieu of, and shall completely
supersede and replace the Executive’s benefits payable under the AmSouth Bancorporation Supplemental Retirement Plan; and 
  
 D. An amount equal to the aggregate benefits accrued by the Executive as of the effective date of termination under the terms of the
Supplemental Thrift Plan, if such lump sum payment has been elected at least one year prior to the Executive’s termination of employment and such termination occurs within two years after the Change in Control. If such election to receive
payment in a lump sum is not made at least one year before such termination, or if the termination occurs two years or more after a Change in Control, payments under the AmSouth Bancorporation’s Supplemental Thrift Plan shall be made in
accordance with the installment election made by the Executive pursuant to the terms of the AmSouth Bancorporation’s Supplemental Thrift Plan. The payment provided under this Subsection 6(a)(i)(D) shall be made in lieu of, and shall completely
supersede and replace, the Executive’s benefits payable under the AmSouth Bancorporation Supplemental Thrift Plan; and 
  
 E. An amount equal to three times the sum of: (i) the Executive’s annual club dues bonus (if applicable); plus (ii) the
Executive’s annual automobile allowance (if applicable) for the year in which the Executive’s Date of Termination occurs. 
  
 (ii) for three years after the Executive’s Date of Termination, or such longer period as may be provided by the terms of the
appropriate plan, program, practice or policy, the Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family at least equal to those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices
and policies described in Section 4(b)(iv) of this Agreement if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of
the Company and its affiliated companies and their families, provided, however, that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible 
  

 9 

 
to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary
to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility. For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of benefits) of the Executive for retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, practices,
programs and policies, the Executive shall be considered to have remained employed until three years after the Date of Termination and to have retired on the last day of such period; 
  
 (iii) the Company shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide the Executive with outplacement services
the scope and provider of which shall be selected by the Executive in his sole discretion; 
  
 (iv) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts or
benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and its affiliated companies (such other amounts and benefits shall be
hereinafter referred to as the “Other Benefits”); 
  
 (v) the Company shall pay or provide, as the case may be, relocation benefits under the relocation policy of the Company as are available to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies (A) which
have been accrued by the Executive as of the Date of Termination and (B) which are requested by the Executive in connection with the Executive’s relocation of his or her primary residence within two years following the Date of Termination to
such new reasonable location specified by the Executive which is more than 35 miles from the location provided in Section 4(a)(i)(B) hereof; and 
  
 (vi) the Company shall continue officer and director liability insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions, and in the same
amounts, as in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination for the benefit of the Executive until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations on claims that might arise from acts or omissions prior to such Date of Termination,
and will provide indemnification and advancement of litigation expenses to the maximum extent and for the maximum period permitted by law following the Date of Termination. 
  
 (b) Death. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death during the
Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits.
Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in
this Section 6(b) shall include, without limitation, and the Executive’s estate and/or beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by the Company and affiliated companies to the
estates and beneficiaries of peer executives of the Company and such affiliated companies under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to other peer executives and their
beneficiaries at any time during the 120-day period immediately 

  

 10 

 
preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive’s estate and/or the Executive’s beneficiaries, as in effect on the date of the
Executive’s death with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their beneficiaries. 
  
 (c) Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s Disability during the Employment Period, this
Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash
within 30 days of the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 6(c) shall include, and the Executive shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive,
disability and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable of those generally provided by the Company and its affiliated companies to disabled executives and/or their families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies
relating to disability, if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive and/or the
Executive’s family, as in effect at any time thereafter generally with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their families. 
  
 (d) Cause; Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause during the
Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (x) his Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination, (y) the amount of any compensation
previously deferred by the Executive, and (z) Other Benefits, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid. If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment Period, excluding a termination for Good Reason, this Agreement
shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. In such case, all Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within
30 days of the Date of Termination. 
  
 7. Non-exclusivity of
Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may
qualify, nor, subject to Section 3(b), shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Amounts which are vested benefits or
which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in
accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. 
  
 8. Full Settlement. The Company’s obligation to make the payments 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. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or
take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced 
  

 11 

 
whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and
expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any
guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in
Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 
  
 9. Certain Additional Payments by the Company. 
  
 (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company or its affiliates to or for the benefit
of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 9) (a “Payment”) would be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or
penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the
Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(a), if it shall be determined that the Executive is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but that the Payments do not exceed
110% of the greatest amount (the “Reduced Amount”) that could be paid to the Executive such that the receipt of Payments would not give rise to any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to the Executive and the Payments, in
the aggregate, shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount. 
  
 (b)
Subject to the provisions of Section 9(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 9, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving
at such determination, shall be made by the Company’s independent certified public accounting firm or such other certified public accounting firm as may be designated by the Executive (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide
detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the
Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which
accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 9, shall be paid by the
Company to the Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of
Section 

  

 12 

 
4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been
made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 9(c) and the Executive thereafter is
required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive. 
  
 (c) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the
Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after the Executive is informed in writing of
such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives
such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest
such claim, the Executive shall: 
  
 (i) give the
Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, 
  
 (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time,
including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company, 
  
 (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and 
  
 (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings
relating to such claim; 
  
 provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay
directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest
and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with
such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay
the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more
appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis
and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or 

  

 13 

 
income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to
such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such
contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any
other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 
  
 (d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 9(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject
to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 9(c)) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive
of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 9(c), a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to
contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of
Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 
  
 10. Confidential
Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses,
which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the
Executive in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process,
communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 10 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding
any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement. 
  
 11. Successors. 
  
 (a) This Agreement is
personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the Executive’s legal representatives. 
  
 (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 in the same manner and to 

  

 14 

 
the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall
mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. 
  
 12. Arbitration. The Executive shall have the right and option to elect (in lieu of litigation) to have any dispute
or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement settled by arbitration, conducted before a panel of three (3) arbitrators sitting in a location selected by the Executive within fifty (50) miles from the location of his or her job
with the Company, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the award of the arbitrator in any court having proper jurisdiction. All expenses of such arbitration, including the
fees and expenses of the counsel for the Executive, shall be borne by the Company. 
  
 13. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a)
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The 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. 
  
 (b) Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing
and if sent by registered or certified mail to the Executive at the last address he had filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of the Company, to the General Counsel of the Company, at the Company’s principal offices. Notice and
communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee. 
  
 (c) The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. 
  
 (d) The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement
such Federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 
  
 (e) The Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any
right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 5(c)(i)-(vi) of this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such
provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.
