Title of Each Class | Trading Symbol(s) | Name of Each Exchange on which Registered |
• | Mr. Gianoni’s base salary will be $721,000 per year, subject to annual increases. |
• | For 2020 and each year thereafter during the term of the Agreement, Mr. Gianoni is eligible to receive an annual cash performance bonus targeted at 100% of his then current base salary, dependent upon the achievement of performance goals pre-established by the Board (or a Board committee) in its discretion. Amounts could be greater than the target amount for performance in excess of the pre-established performance goals or less than the target amount based on actual results and the review of Mr. Gianoni’s performance. However, in no event will the actual annual performance bonus be more than two times the target amount. |
• | For 2020 and each year thereafter during the term of the Agreement, the Company may award Mr. Gianoni an annual equity-based award with a target value of $6 million to $9 million and a value ranging from zero to 250% of the target. The grant will be in a form determined by the Board (or applicable committee). The Board (or applicable committee) will set the actual value of the award, considering Mr. Gianoni’s performance during its review. Generally, one-fourth of the award will vest on each of the first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the grant date (or such shorter vesting schedule as may be provided by the Board or applicable committee). However, up to 70% of the annual equity-based grant may also be contingent upon Company performance with respect to the achievement of pre-established performance goals. To the extent that the annual equity-based award is comprised of a performance-based equity award, then subject to the achievement of the applicable performance goals, one-third of the award will vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date (or such shorter vesting schedule as may be provided by the Board or applicable committee). Vesting is contingent upon Mr. Gianoni’s continued employment or service on the Board. |
• | Mr. Gianoni is eligible for the following additional compensation and benefits on the same basis as other senior executives of the Company: all employee benefit plans and fringe benefits; reasonable periods of paid time off and paid holidays; reimbursement for all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in the performance of his duties; and health, life, short-term disability and long-term disability insurance (provided that the short-term disability and long-term disability insurance coverage is for an amount not less than 60% of Mr. Gianoni’s base salary). Mr. Gianoni also is eligible for reimbursement of reasonable legal expenses he incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Agreement, provided that the Company’s obligation to reimburse such expenses is capped at $15,000. |
• | During the term of the Agreement, the Board is required to nominate Mr. Gianoni to be a member of the Board prior to the expiration of each of his terms as a director, with his election to the Board subject to stockholder vote. |
• | Upon termination of employment by the Company for cause (as defined in the Agreement), Mr. Gianoni will be entitled to payment of his accrued but unpaid base salary through the termination date, any unreimbursed expenses through the termination date in accordance with the Company’s policies, and payment of other amounts and benefits, if any, to which he is entitled under applicable benefit plans or applicable law (collectively, the “Accrued Compensation”). Mr. Gianoni will cease to be entitled to any other compensation or benefits under the Agreement. |
• | Upon termination of employment by the Company without cause, including due to the Company’s non-renewal of the Agreement, or by Mr. Gianoni with good reason (as defined in the Agreement), which termination in any such case is not in connection with a change in control as described below, Mr. Gianoni will be entitled to: the Accrued Compensation; payment of any awarded but unpaid bonus compensation for prior calendar years; payment of his base salary for a period of 24 months; a lump sum payment based on the average cash bonus he received for the two calendar years prior to the calendar year in which termination occurs, pro-rated based upon his period of employment during the year of termination; and accelerated vesting by 12 months of all of his then- |
• | If Mr. Gianoni resigns without good reason or fails to renew the Agreement, Mr. Gianoni will be entitled to: the Accrued Compensation, payment of any awarded but unpaid bonus compensation for prior calendar years and the opportunity to exercise any vested stock options or stock appreciation rights pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreements. Mr. Gianoni will cease to be entitled to any other compensation or benefits under the Agreement. |
• | If Mr. Gianoni dies or becomes disabled (as defined in the Agreement), Mr. Gianoni will be entitled to: the Accrued Compensation; payment of any awarded but unpaid bonus compensation for prior calendar years; a lump sum payment based on the average cash bonus he received for the two calendar years prior to the calendar year in which termination occurs, pro-rated based upon his period of employment during the year of termination; and the opportunity to exercise any vested stock options or stock appreciation rights pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreements. Mr. Gianoni will cease to be entitled to any other compensation or benefits under the Agreement. |
• | If within 12 months after a change in control (as defined in the Agreement), the Company terminates Mr. Gianoni’s employment without cause or he resigns with good reason, or if during discussions which lead to a change in control or within 12 months after a change in control, the Company delivers notice of its intention not to renew the Agreement and Mr. Gianoni’s employment thereafter accordingly terminates, Mr. Gianoni will be entitled to: the Accrued Compensation; payment of his base salary for a period of 24 months; payment of any awarded but unpaid bonus compensation for prior calendar years; a lump sum payment based on the average cash bonus he received for the two calendar years prior to the calendar year in which termination occurs, pro-rated based upon his period of employment during the year of termination; accelerated vesting of all of his then-unvested time-based equity awards; and accelerated vesting of performance-based equity awards based on the achievement of applicable performance goals as of the termination date (or if calculation of the achievement of the applicable performance goals is not possible, then based on an assumed achievement of the performance goals at target). Mr. Gianoni will cease to be entitled to any other compensation or benefits under the Agreement. |
• | If the payments and benefits that may be due to Mr. Gianoni in connection with a change in control of the Company would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then such payments and benefits will be reduced to the extent the reduction provides Mr. Gianoni with a greater after-tax amount than if the payments and benefits had not been reduced (including with application of the excise tax). |
• | Mr. Gianoni agreed to non-compete and non-solicitation covenants during the course of employment and for twelve months following termination of his employment. |
