Severance Agreements Terms Overview

Under the terms of the existing form of severance agreement with the Company’s NEOs, an NEO who voluntarily terminates employment or whose employment is terminated involuntarily for cause would not receive any severance benefits associated with such termination. An NEO who is terminated involuntarily without cause would receive at a minimum a lump sum payment equal to the NEO’s base salary for a period of six months. In addition, if the NEO executes an agreement releasing the Company from any liability for claims relating to the NEO’s employment with the Company, the NEO also is entitled to receive:

 

   

an additional lump sum severance payment (ranging from twelve to eighteen months of base salary);

 

   

a lump sum payment based upon the NEO’s assigned target amount under the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan (ranging from one and one-half to two times the target amount, reduced in each instance by any amount otherwise paid or payable under the Annual Incentive Plan with respect to such calendar year); and

 

   

continuing coverage under the Company’s benefit plans, including life, health and other insurance benefits, for a specified period of time (ranging from eighteen months to two years).
