Under the terms of the old agreement that has since been terminated, if Mr. Montagner’s employment had been terminated by us without cause as of December 31, 2007, he would have been entitled to receive (in addition to his salary up to the termination date and post-termination benefits under company benefit plans) continuation of salary based on his then-current base salary and a bonus calculated based on prior bonuses paid

for a twenty-four month period after such termination. In addition, the vesting of the stock options that Mr. Montagner received in connection with his employment agreement would have accelerated for an additional twenty-four months following the termination date.

For purposes of this old agreement, the term “cause” includes:

 

   

a material breach of the agreement;

 

   

the failure of the executive to substantially perform his duties which continues for 20 days following notice;

 

   

the commission of a crime involving dishonesty or moral turpitude, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of duties; or

 

   

he engages in conduct that is materially injurious to the company.

Our obligations to make the continuing payments and the acceleration of vesting of his options would have been conditioned upon Mr. Montagner agreeing not to compete with our business for a period of two years following the termination date and agreeing not to solicit our employees to be employed by any competitor during that period. If Mr. Montagner fails to perform these covenants, then we would have been entitled to cease making the continuation payments in addition to other rights that we may have had.

Effective February 6, 2008, Mr. Montagner entered into a new employment agreement with Abraxis Australia that supersedes his prior employment agreement with us. Under the terms of his new employment agreement, if Mr. Montagner’s employment is terminated without cause, he would be entitled to receive continuation of salary based on his then-current base salary through the end of the term of the agreement. In addition, the vesting of any stock options that Mr. Montagner holds would accelerate through the end of the term of the agreement. If Mr. Montagner accepts the continuing payments and the acceleration of vesting of his options, he will agree not to compete with the company’s business, subject to limited specified exceptions, for a period of three years following the termination date and agree not to solicit employees to be employed by any competitor during that period.

If Mr. Montagner had been terminated by us without cause as of December 31, 2007, he would have been entitled to an amount of payments totaling $1,687,500 under the old agreement. This amount would have been comprised of $1,350,000 representing payments of his base salary for two years following the termination date and an estimated amount of $337,500 as the bonus amount. If Mr. Montagner had been terminated as of December 31, 2007 under the terms of his new employment agreement, he would have been entitled to receive payments totaling $712,500, consisting of his base salary through July 31, 2009. The exercise price of the accelerated options exceeded the closing price as of December 31, 2007, and therefore no value was attributed to those options.
