Separation
and Resignation Agreement
As
previously reported on Form 8-K filed on December 18, 2009, Frank Magnotti
tendered his resignation from Comverge as Executive Vice-President of Sales
& Marketing and Chief Marketing Officer. In connection with his resignation,
on December 31, 2009, Mr. Magnotti and Comverge entered into a Separation
Agreement with terms that are consistent with what Mr. Magnotti would have
received if he had been terminated by Comverge without
cause. Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr.
Magnotti will receive: (i) a severance benefit of $187,500 payable on a
bi-weekly basis through September 1, 2010, (ii) a payment of a retention bonus
of $125,000 less applicable taxes, payable on December 31, 2009, and (iii) a
payment of his year-to-date bonus of $45,374, payable on December 31,
2009. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Magnotti also
releases Comverge and its affiliates from any claims he may have related to his
employment with Comverge and any claims for severance pay or other
compensation. Mr. Magnotti can revoke the Separation Agreement within
seven calendar days after he has signed it, in which event it will be null and
void. If not revoked during that seven-day period, the Separation
Agreement will become final, binding and irrevocable upon the expiration of the
seven-day period.
Consulting
Agreement
On December 17, 2009, Frank Magnotti
and Comverge entered into a Consulting Agreement dated December 31, 2009 and
effective December 17, 2009, pursuant to which Mr. Magnotti will provide certain
consulting and advisory services to Comverge, including assistance with the
transition of his previous job responsibilities to a new Executive Vice
President of Sales and Chief Marketing Officer, for a period of 3 months from
his resignation date. Comverge will pay Mr. Magnotti a bi-weekly fee
of $14,285.71 for his services such that, during the term of the Consulting
Agreement, Mr. Magnotti’s total fee will be approximately
$100,000. In addition, Mr. Magnotti’s unvested stock options and
restricted stock will continue to vest during the term of the Consulting
Agreement.
The foregoing descriptions of the
Separation and Consulting Agreements do not purport to be complete and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation and
Consulting Agreements, copies of which will be included in a subsequent
filing.
