Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement
On July 30, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of The Active Network, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the terms of an amended and restated change in control agreement with Sheryl Roland, EVP, Human Resources and a named executive officer of the Company. The amended and restated change in control agreement provides that if Ms. Roland terminates her employment for “good reason” within twelve months following a “change in control” transaction, or if her employment is terminated without “cause” at any time (as such terms are defined in the change in control agreement), Ms. Roland will be entitled to receive the following benefits following the date of such termination (the “Trigger Date”):
| • | base salary earned through the Trigger Date, less standard tax withholding plus all other amounts to which Ms. Roland would be entitled under any of our compensation plans or practices at the time such payments are due; |
| • | twelve months of (i) severance from the Trigger Date at the executive’s then base salary payable within fifteen days following the Trigger Date and (ii) reimbursement of premiums for continued health care coverage, unless Ms. Roland becomes eligible for coverage by a health insurance plan of a subsequent employer prior to that time; |
| • | an amount equal to Ms. Roland’s target annual bonus for the fiscal year during which the Trigger Date occurs, with such bonus determined assuming that all of the performance objectives for such fiscal year have been attained, prorated based on the number of days during such fiscal year Ms. Roland was employed by the Company; |
| • | with respect to a termination without “cause” other than following a “change in control,” the vesting and/or exercisability of each of Ms. Roland’s outstanding equity awards shall be automatically accelerated on the Trigger Date as to the number of equity awards that would vest over the twelve (12) month period following the Trigger Date had Ms. Roland remained continuously employed by the Company during such period; |
| • | with respect to a termination following a “change in control,” the vesting and/or exercisability of each of Ms. Roland’s outstanding equity awards shall be automatically accelerated on the Trigger Date; and |
| • | subject to certain limited exceptions, Ms. Roland’s equity awards shall remain exercisable for a period of one year following the Trigger Date. |
The Executive Nonqualified Excess Plan Document
On July 30, 2012, the Compensation Committee authorized the Company to adopt the Executive Nonqualified Excess Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, pursuant to which certain highly compensated employees, including the Company’s named executive officers (“Participants”), may elect to make deferrals of compensation that are not subject to the various limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code on qualified retirement plans. Pursuant to the Plan, Participants may elect to defer up to 80% of base salary and up to 100% of performance-based compensation and commissions. The Company may also make discretionary contributions to a Participant’s deferred compensation account, which vest in increments based on the Participant’s number of years of service and become fully vested upon the Participant’s completion of four years of service (or, if earlier, upon the Participant’s death or disability or upon a change in control event as defined in the Plan). A Participant’s deferrals and any discretionary employer contributions are credited to a deferred compensation account pending the occurrence of an applicable “Qualifying Distribution Event.” Qualifying Distribution Events may include (i) separation from service with the Company, (ii) disability, (iii) death, (iv) specified “in-service” dates designated by the Participant in his or her participation agreement, and (v) unforeseeable emergencies.
The Plan is administered by the management of the Company. The Plan is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan that is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of (i) the Plan’s adoption agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.41 and incorporated by reference herein, and (ii) the Plan document, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.42 and incorporated by reference herein.
