Item 5.02(e). Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Effective July 9, 2007, we entered into agreements with each of our named executive officers that provide certain change of control payments and benefits. These agreements provide that in the event of a change of control, all outstanding unvested stock options shall become fully vested and exercisable. These agreements provide for certain additional compensation and benefits, including severance payments based on a multiplier (based on position) of salary, bonus and other benefits, and limited tax-gross up payments, to be made to the executive officers if their employment is terminated under specified circumstances within six months prior to and two years following a change of control. There are different tiers of participation in these agreements, with our chief executive officer with a benefit multiplier of two, and our other executive officers with a benefit multiplier of 1.5. All severance payments are payable only after a double trigger.
The agreements are substantially in the form of the executive agreement attached to this 8-K as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated here by reference.
