On January 12, 2011, the Company and Mr. Riley finalized a Separation Agreement and Release (the "Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay Mr. Riley, subject to certain conditions (including Mr. Riley's release of any claims and agreement to cooperate with the Company in certain matters), a one-time severance payment of $400,000 to be paid within ten (10) days of the expiration of the Revocation Period (as defined below) and an additional severance payment of $400,000 to be paid in four equal quarterly payments. In addition, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Riley a severance payment of $22,756, which is an amount equal to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) continuation benefits premium obligation for Mr. Riley and his family during the period ending December 31, 2011, to be paid in twelve (12) equal monthly payments. The Agreement also acknowledges Mr. Riley's right to receive an annual bonus and non-equity incentive payout for 2010. The Agreement is revocable by Mr. Riley during the seven-day period from the date of such agreement (the "Revocation Period"). This description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. |
