10.1 | Form of Retention Bonus Letter Agreement (Lamoureux/Raven) | |
10.2 | Form of Retention Bonus Letter Agreement (Wong) | |
Press Release dated February 17, 2012 |
|
1.
|
This is not an agreement for term employment until the Target Date. If you resign before the Target Date, or are dismissed for cause, you will not be eligible to receive payment of the Retention Bonus.
|
|
2.
|
The payment of the Retention Bonus shall be made in two parts, one payment comprising fifty percent of the Retention Bonus will be made within one month of the earlier of the Target Date or June 30, 2012. The second payment, comprising the remaining balance of the Retention Bonus, within one month of the earlier of the Target Date or December 31, 2012. If the Target Date occurs prior to June 30, 2012, you will not be eligible for the second payment.
|
|
3.
|
If your employment is terminated without cause following the date of this letter but before the Target Date, then you will be paid the Retention Bonus according to the terms outlined in the paragraph above based on the passage of time after January 1, 2012 and your termination date. If your employment is terminated prior to June 30, 2012, you will not be eligible for the second payment. You will be paid the Retention Bonus within one month of your termination date.
|
|
4.
|
As is the case of all employees, you will continue to be bound by those duties of fidelity and confidentiality and are reminded of the express terms of confidentiality as acknowledged by you at the start of your employment.
|
|
5.
|
Finally, as is the case of all matters related to individual compensation, you are not to disclose the fact that you have received a Retention Bonus nor the amount of said bonus. If it is determined that you have disclosed this information to any other party (except your spouse and professional financial advisor if any, and in such case only on a further promise of confidentiality), you may be disciplined up to and including termination for cause, in which case you would forfeit your right to payment of the Retention Bonus.
