Employment Agreements

The company has not entered into fixed-term employment agreements with its named executive officers based in the United States and, therefore, such officers are “at will” employees of the company. Employees based in the U.K., including Mr. Keddy, have written service agreements. The terms of Mr. Keddy’s service agreement are in line with market practices in the U.K.

Under the terms of Mr. Keddy’s service agreement, the company may terminate his employment with 12 months’ prior notice or, in lieu of such prior notice, payment of his salary for a 12-month period. If Mr. Keddy is paid salary in lieu of notice, he will also be eligible to earn an annual incentive (prorated to date of termination and subject to board discretion). If the subsidiary that employs Mr. Keddy is wound up for purposes of a reconstruction or amalgamation, or transfers all or a substantial part of its business to another company, and Mr. Keddy is offered employment by the new company on terms comparable to those of the service agreement, Mr. Keddy will have no claim with respect to the termination of his employment under the service agreement. See the discussion under the section entitled “Explanation of Benefits Payable Upon Various Termination Events” beginning on page 47 for information on severance payable to Mr. Keddy in the event of a Change of Control, as defined under the Pitney Bowes Senior Executive Severance Policy.

Under the service agreement, Mr. Keddy is entitled to receive certain other compensation including financial counseling services and reimbursement for all costs associated with the lease and use of an automobile, including normal servicing, insurance and fuel costs. Mr. Keddy may use the company automobile to a reasonable extent for private purposes. In lieu of receiving a company automobile, Mr. Keddy may choose to be paid an annual automobile allowance plus fuel costs. Although Mr. Keddy is eligible to receive annual and long-term incentive awards, such awards are subject to board discretion. The service agreement also sets forth Mr. Keddy’s agreement to certain covenants that protect the interests of the company in the event of a termination of Mr. Keddy’s employment, including a 12-month covenant not to compete and a 12-month covenant not to solicit customers or employees.
