Pallab K. Chatterjee

On May 23, 2008, in connection with the appointment of Pallab K. Chatterjee as CEO of the Company, the Company and Dr. Chatterjee entered into an Amended and Restated Executive Retention Agreement (the “Amended Retention Agreement”). The Amended Retention Agreement has an initial term of two years starting February 25, 2008 (the date of Dr. Chatterjee’s original Executive Retention Agreement), which term automatically extends for an additional one-year period on each annual anniversary of the original Executive Retention Agreement date. Additional terms are summarized below:

The Company’s Obligations Upon Termination. If, during the term of the Amended Retention Agreement, the Company terminates Dr. Chatterjee other than for cause, or Dr. Chatterjee terminates his employment for good reason or following a change in control, then the Company is obligated to provide Dr. Chatterjee with the following:

A single lump sum cash payment within 30 days after the termination date equal to Dr. Chatterjee’s (i) accrued and unpaid annual base salary and vacation pay and (ii) annual target bonus (if any) prorated to take into account only the portion of the year worked by Dr. Chatterjee;

 

  •  

A severance payment within 60 days after Dr. Chatterjee’s separation from service, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), equal to the sum of Dr. Chatterjee’s annual base salary and annual target bonus (if any) for the year in which the termination occurs; and

 

  •  

A payment within 60 days after Dr. Chatterjee’s separation from service, as defined by the Code, equal to the sum of the cost that would be incurred by Dr. Chatterjee if Dr. Chatterjee elected continued health care coverage for himself and his spouse and other eligible dependents under Section 4980B of the Code and the regulations thereunder for a period of 12 months measured from the date of termination.

Acceleration of Equity Awards. In the event that Dr. Chatterjee is terminated by the Company without cause or if Dr. Chatterjee terminates his employment for good reason or following a change of control, all outstanding equity awards held by Dr. Chatterjee pursuant to the Company’s incentive plans will become immediately and fully vested.

Certain Limitations of Benefits. Dr. Chatterjee’s benefits under the Amended Retention Agreement are subject to reduction in connection with certain golden parachute excise tax provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code and may be delayed or otherwise modified in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

Noncompetition and Noninterference. The Amended Retention Agreement subjects Dr. Chatterjee to restrictive covenants relating to noncompetition, noninterference with customer relationships, nonsolicitation of customers or prospects and nonsolicitation of employees.

The foregoing summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the Amended Retention Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

On May 22, 2008, the Company and Michael J. Berry entered into an amendment to Mr. Berry’s Executive Retention Agreement to provide that Mr. Berry will receive $300,000 plus accrued and unpaid annual base salary and vacation pay in the event that he elects to terminate his employment with the Company other than for good reason after November 14, 2008. In addition, the amendment provides that in the event that Mr. Berry is terminated by the Company without cause or if Mr. Berry terminates his employment for good reason, all outstanding equity awards held by Mr. Berry pursuant to the Company’s incentive plans will become immediately and fully vested.
