Under the Executive Severance Plan, employees of the Company with the title of Vice President, Senior Vice President or Executive Vice President ("participants") are eligible for severance in the event of a participant's termination of employment by the Company without "cause" or by the participant for "good reason" during the period commencing on the effective time of the merger and ending on the date that is twelve (12) months thereafter (a "Qualifying Termination").
The Executive Severance Plan provides that participants are eligible to receive a cash severance payment upon a Qualifying Termination, the amount of which is determined based on the participant's years of service with the Company, as set forth in the following table:
• Less than 2 years of service - 2 months of base salary and target bonus. • Between 2 and 5 years of service - 4 months of base salary and target bonus. • Between 5 and 10 years of service - 8 months of base salary and target bonus. • Between 10 and 20 years of service - 12 months of base salary and target bonus. • More than 20 years of service - 18 months of base salary and target bonus.
Additionally, Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents are eligible for a
minimum benefit payment equal to 12 months of base salary and target bonus and
Executive Vice Presidents are eligible for a minimum benefit of payments equal
to 18 months of base salary and target bonus. No severance payment will exceed
18 months of base salary and target bonus. Participants are also entitled to
receive a prorated bonus for the year in which a Qualifying Termination occurs,
with the amount of such prorated bonus equal to the product of (a) the
participant's target bonus for the year in which the Qualifying Termination
occurs, and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from
All severance benefits under the Executive Severance Plan are conditioned on the participant signing and not revoking a general release of claims. The Executive Severance Plan does not provide for any excise tax gross-up payments.
The foregoing description of the Executive Severance Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete copy of the Executive Severance Plan attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
