The employment agreement between Limited Brands, Inc. (the Company) and V. Ann Hailey, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer has been amended as of March 8, 2005 (the Amendment) in connection with recently announced organizational changes. Capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Amendment. Under the Amendment, Ms. Hailey may terminate employment by providing to the Company, at any time from September 1, 2005 through February 28, 2006, notice of intent to terminate employment, which shall be considered a termination of employment for Good Reason. A termination of employment for Good Reason entitles Ms. Hailey to certain specified compensation and other benefits under her current employment agreement. If before March 1, 2006, either the Company or Ms. Hailey determines that she should no longer continue employment in her then current position (other than pursuant to a notice of termination of employment for Good Reason), the Company shall continue to employ Ms. Hailey in a senior executive position at her current level of compensation and benefits through March 1, 2008. If the Company terminates Ms. Haileys employment other than for Cause or due to a Disability before March 1, 2006, the Company shall provide her, at her option, with either (i) certain specified compensation and other benefits consistent with her current employment agreement or (ii) the compensation and benefits to which she would have been entitled had her employment continued through March 1, 2008 at her current level of compensation and benefits. In the event that neither Ms. Hailey nor the Company takes any of these actions within the specified dates, then in effect her current employment agreement continues to govern her employment relationship with the Company. The Amendment also sets forth certain compensation to be provided to Ms. Hailey if her employment is terminated (i) by the Company for Cause, (ii) by the Company other than for Cause or by Ms. Hailey for Good Reason, (iii) by reason of Disability, (iv) by reason of the Companys decision not to extend the Employment Agreement or (v) pursuant to a Change in Control. The Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference. This excerpt taken from the LTD 8-K filed Feb 17, 2005. Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
