Dear Jenniffer:
The purpose of this letter agreement (“Agreement and Release”) is to confirm the decision to terminate your employment with Teligent, Inc. (“Teligent” or the “Company”) and to set forth the terms of your separation from employment pursuant to your July 14, 2011, “Employment Agreement” with IGI Laboratories, Inc. (subsequently renamed Teligent, Inc.), and the special separation provisions being offered to you in this letter.
1. | STANDARD SEPARATION PROVISIONS FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT |
a. | You will receive a lump-sum payment, less applicable withholdings and deductions, for the value of the unused vacation time you have accrued and to which you are entitled under the Company’s vacation policy. |
b. | You will be given the opportunity to purchase the Medical and Dental Plan coverage for which you are eligible through the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (COBRA) for a period of up to 18 months at your own expense. You will receive the appropriate COBRA application form and information regarding rates and period of coverage in the near future. Please note that at the end of the month within which your last day of employment occurs, your current coverage will be terminated. However, upon the completion and processing of your COBRA application, coverage will be retroactively reinstated. |
c. | Your Group Life/Accidental Death and Dismemberment, Short Term and Long-Term Disability coverages will terminate your last day of employment. Your Life Insurance coverage may be converted to an individual policy within 31 days from your coverage termination date by making written application to Guardian. You have 31 days from your termination date to exercise the conversion feature. A copy of the form and life conversation rates are attached to this form for your convenience. |
d. | You will be provided with information describing your options under the Teligent 401K Savings Plan under separate cover. |
e. | You will receive compensation associated with a “Termination of Employment Without Cause” in the manner outlined in your Employment Agreement in the first paragraph of Section 8.1 and Section 8.4 (which requires you to execute a release of liability to receive such compensation). Signing this letter, thereby agreeing to |
Page 1 of 1
the Release in paragraph 3 below, will fulfill your obligations under Employment Agreement Section 8.4.
f. | Other than as set forth in Paragraphs a-d above, the Company shall have no other financial obligations to you under any compensation or benefit plan, program or policy and your participation in the Company compensation and benefit plans, programs and policies shall cease as of the date of your termination. |
g. | If the Company receives requests for references from prospective employers, it will provide only dates of employment and positions held. |
h. | Upon your termination, you must return to the Company all Company property, including all notes, reports, plans, keys, security cards and/or identification cards, customer lists, product information and other documents and property including computer equipment, and cellular phones that were created, developed, generated or received by you during your employment or that are the property of the Company, whether or not such items are confidential to the Company. You will also be responsible for discharging your obligations under Section 8.3 of the Employment Agreement). |
i. | You are reminded of your continuing legal and contractual obligations, including without limitation those set forth in your Employment Agreement previously executed by you (copy attached), not to use or disclose any secret, confidential, or proprietary information or documents of the Company for any purpose following the termination of your employment with the Company. Specifically, you are not to disclose, nor use for your benefit or the benefit of any other person or entity, any information received from Teligent or its parent, subsidiaries or affiliated companies (individually or collectively a “Teligent Company”), which is confidential or proprietary and: (i) which has not been disclosed publicly by a Teligent Company; (ii) which is otherwise not a matter of public knowledge; or (iii) which is a matter of public knowledge but you knows or have reason to know that such information became a matter of public knowledge through an unauthorized disclosure. Proprietary or confidential information includes information the unauthorized disclosure or use of which would reduce the value of such information to the Company. Such information includes, without limitation, any Company customer and supplier lists, trade secrets, intellectual property, confidential information about (or provided by) any customer or prospective or former customer or business partner of the Company, information concerning the Company’s business or financial affairs (including its books and records, commitments, procedures, plans, strategies, inventions, and prospects), products developed or in development by the Company, securities positions, or current or prospective transactions or business of the Company. |
2. | SPECIAL SEPARATION PROVISIONS |

If you agree to the terms set forth in Paragraph 3 below, and in consideration of the obligations you assume in Paragraph 3 and the other agreements made by you under this Agreement and Release, the Company agrees that in addition to the above:
a. | Your last day of employment will be extended to May 25, 2018 (the “Termination Date”), so that you can transition your position to your replacement, and complete pending projects. The transition and completion of work will occur from May 7, 2018 to May 25, 2018 (the “Transition Period”). During this period, you agree to use your best efforts to assist with the transition, and you will continue to be employed as an at-will employee. |
b. | You will receive your current salary, less applicable withholdings and deductions, through the Termination Date (provided your employment is not separated prior to the Termination Date). |
c. | On the condition that you (i) work through the entire Transition Period; and (ii) sign the Supplemental Severance Agreement and Full and Final Release of Claims (hereinafter “Supplemental Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit A, no earlier than May 28, 2018; you will receive a retention bonus of $30,000. Such amount, which shall be paid out of payroll and is subject to applicable payroll deductions, including federal tax withholding at the “supplemental rate,” will be paid in the form of a lump sum paid within 21 days following the Company’s receipt of the signed Supplemental Agreement from you. The Supplemental Agreement will release any and all claims for anything that occurs, or may occur, between the date of your execution of this Agreement and the date you sign the Supplemental Agreement. Teligent shall have no obligation to make any payment to you pursuant to this Paragraph 2(c) unless and until you execute the Supplemental Agreement. If you execute the Supplemental Agreement before May 28, 2018, Teligent shall have no obligation to pay you any of the amounts described in this Paragraph 2(c). |
d. | Also, on the condition that you (i) work through the entire Transition Period; and (ii) sign the Supplemental Agreement (in the manner discussed in paragraph 2c above); Teligent will pay your share of COBRA coverage premium expenses through December 31, 2018. This does not extend the 18-month period, described in paragraph 1b, during which you will be eligible for COBRA continuation. |
