Change in Directors or Principal Officers
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On January 14, 2010, we entered into a new employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with Patrick L. Donnelly to continue to serve as our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, through January 13, 2014. The Employment Agreement supersedes Mr. Donnelly's existing employment agreement and provides for an initial base salary of $575,000, with specified increases. If Mr. Donnelly's employment is terminated without cause or he terminates his employment for good reason, we are obligated to pay him a lump sum payment equal to his then annual salary and the cash value of the bonus last paid or payable to him in respect of the preceding fiscal year and to continue his health and life insurance benefits for one year. Our obligations to pay the foregoing amounts are subject to Mr. Donnelly's execution of a valid release of claims against us and his compliance with certain restrictive covenants. We have also agreed to indemnify Mr. Donnelly for any excise taxes that may be imposed on him under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.
In connection with the execution of the Employment Agreement, we granted Mr. Donnelly an option to purchase 13,163,495 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.6669 per share (the last sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market prior to the execution of the Employment Agreement) (the "Option"). The Option will generally vest in four equal installments on each of January 14, 2011, January 14, 2012, January 14, 2013 and January 14, 2014, subject to earlier acceleration or termination under certain circumstances.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the Employment Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
