Dear Howard:

 

This letter will confirm the agreement (the “Agreement”) that has been reached by and between you and Investment Technology Group, Inc. (“ITG” or the “Company”) in connection with your separation from service with ITG.

 

1.             Separation from Service.

 

(a)           Effective on the close of business February 3, 2010 (the “Separation Date”), upon mutual agreement between you and the Company, you have voluntarily resigned from all positions with the Company and its subsidiaries, including your positions as Chief Financial Officer, Managing Director, and an officer of the applicable subsidiaries of the Company, and a member of the applicable boards of directors of the Company’s subsidiaries on which you served and any committee(s) thereof.  You agree promptly to execute any documents necessary to effectuate such resignations.  Beginning February 4, 2010 and ending May 3, 2010 (the “Transition Services Agreement Termination Date”), you will provide short-term transition services to the Company at the reasonable request of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms of a Transition Services Agreement to be negotiated by you and the Company (the “Transition Services Agreement”).

 

(b)           On the Separation Date, you will receive a final paycheck which will include a payment for all unpaid compensation you have earned through the Separation Date, less any applicable deductions and withholdings.  If you are a participant in the Investment Technology Group, Inc. 401(k) Plan, you will cease to participate in that plan as of the Separation Date.  A contribution to the 401(k) plan (based on the historical amount you have elected to contribute to such plan) will be deducted from your final paycheck.  Specific information concerning the distribution of your 401(k) Plan account will be forwarded to you separately.  Except as set forth

 



 

herein and in the Transition Services Agreement (pursuant to the terms of such Transition Services Agreement), you are not entitled to any additional compensation, bonuses, payments, benefits, damages, attorneys’ fees or costs of any kind from ITG and the Releasees (as defined in Paragraph 3 below).

 

2.             Separation Payments and Benefits.  Subject to your execution and non-revocation of this Agreement and in consideration for your agreement to be bound by the promises set forth in Paragraphs 4 and 6 of this Agreement, in addition to the amounts described in Paragraph 1 above and, as stated in Paragraph 1(b) above, in lieu of any other compensation under any plan or program:

 

(a)           The Company will pay you (i) on February 16, 2010, in one lump sum, One Million Four Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($1,430,000) and (ii) in eleven (11) monthly installments, the aggregate amount of Two Million One Hundred Five Thousand Nine Hundred Nineteen Dollars ($2,105,919), in each case less any applicable deductions and withholdings.  The first of the eleven (11) installments will be made on February 16, 2010 with subsequent payments paid on or about each monthly anniversary of the first payment date in accordance with the Company’s regularly scheduled payroll date.

 

(b)           If you timely elect to continue group health coverage under the provisions of the law known as “COBRA”, ITG will pay for the first twelve (12) months of your COBRA coverage. ITG will send you a separate notice detailing your rights under COBRA and if you have any questions about that notice, please contact Human Resources at [**].  Upon completion of the twelfth month of COBRA coverage, ITG will cease contributing towards the cost of the COBRA premium on your behalf.  Thereafter, you will be responsible for the full cost of any further COBRA coverage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event you become eligible for (i) healthcare coverage through subsequent employment, or (ii) Medicare or Medicaid, ITG’s obligation to pay for your COBRA premium on your behalf will cease as of the date of such eligibility and you will be responsible for the full cost of any COBRA coverage that is incurred by ITG after the date of such subsequent eligibility for healthcare coverage. You must immediately notify ITG of such eligibility by contacting Human Resources at [**] or via email to [**] as soon as you become aware of such eligibility.

 

(c)           All outstanding stock options you hold as of the Transition Services Agreement Termination Date that are not already vested and exercisable as of the Transition Services Agreement Termination Date will automatically terminate as of the Transition Services Agreement Termination Date.  Outstanding stock options that you hold that are already vested as of the Transition Services Agreement Termination Date shall, pursuant to the terms of the applicable stock option grant agreement evidencing such outstanding vested stock options, expire 60 days after the Transition Services Agreement Termination Date.  In addition, all stock unit

awards granted to you under the Company’s Amended and Restated Stock Unit Award Program Subplan (the “SUA Program”) that are not already vested as of the Transition Services Agreement Termination Date will automatically vest pursuant to the terms of the SUA Program and will be issued to you in accordance with the terms of the SUA Program.  Shares subject to stock unit awards granted to you under the SUA Program that are already vested as of the Transition Services Agreement Termination Date will be issued to you in accordance with the terms of the SUA Program.

 

(d)           Subject to your compliance with the covenants in Paragraph 4 below, you will continue to vest in all Basic Units, as defined in the Company’s Equity Deferral Award Program Subplan (the “EDA Subplan”) and Matching Units, as defined in the EDA Subplan, awarded to you pursuant to the grant notice dated March 23, 2009 under the EDA Subplan, as if you continued in employment with the Company on each applicable vesting date set forth in the grant notice, and the Basic Units and Matching Units will be settled on the schedule set forth in Section 7(a)(i) and (ii) of the EDA Subplan; provided that if (i) a change in control occurs prior to the applicable settlement date and the change in control transaction constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of such term under section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or (ii) you incur a Disability (as defined in the EDA Subplan) or die prior to the applicable settlement date, in either case, any remaining Basic Units and Matching Units that have not yet vested and been settled shall be settled within 30 days following the date of the change in control, or within 60 days of your Disability or death, as applicable.  If a change in control occurs and the change in control transaction is not a “change in control event” within the meaning of such term under section 409A of the Code, any remaining Basic Units and Matching Units that have not yet been settled will not be settled upon the change in control but will continue to be settled according to the schedule set forth in Section 7(a)(i) and (ii) of the EDA Subplan.  In no event will you, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of settlement.

11.           Application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

(a)                                  This Agreement will be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under section 409A of the Code.  If any payment or benefit cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without you incurring sanctions under section 409A of the Code, then such benefit or payment will be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions will not be imposed.  Each payment made under this Agreement will be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement will be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.  In no event will you, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.

 

(b)                                 All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement will be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement will be for expenses incurred during your lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits to be provided,

 

9



 

in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, at the time of your “separation from service” with the Company, the Company has securities which are publicly traded on an established securities market and you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of such term under section 409A of the Code) and it is necessary to postpone the commencement of any compensation payments or benefits otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement as a result of your “separation from service” to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under section 409A of the Code, then the Company will postpone the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to you) that are not otherwise paid within the short-term deferral and separation pay plan exceptions under section 409A of the Code, until the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six months following your “separation of service” with the Company.  If any payments are postponed due to such requirements, such postponed a mounts will be paid in a lump sum to you on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six (6) months following your “separation of service” with the Company.  If you die during the postponement period prior to the payment of postponed amount, the amounts withheld on account of section 409A of the Code will be paid to the personal representative of your estate within sixty (60) days after the date of your death.
