Amendments to Executive Officer Employment Agreements
On August 14, 2007, the Board of Directors of Adaptec, Inc. (the "Company") approved certain changes to the
existing employment agreements of the Company's executive officers, as follows:
- The definition of the term "Good Reason" in the employment agreements of Sundi Sundaresh, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, and Chris O'Meara, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, are to be expanded such that Mr. Sundaresh may
terminate his employment for "Good Reason" and receive the severance benefits specified in his employment agreement if
he is not the Chief Executive Officer of the surviving company following a Change of Control (as defined in the employment agreement)
and Mr. O'Meara may terminate his employment for "Good Reason" and receive the severance benefits specified in his
employment agreement if he is not the Chief Financial Officer of the surviving company following a Change of Control;
- The definition of the term "Change of Control" in the employment agreements of Messrs. Sundaresh and O'Meara, and
Mr. Marcus Lowe, the Company's Vice President and General Manager, are to be conformed to be identical to the definition of
"Change of Control" in the employment agreements of the Company's other executive officers; this is a clarifying change to
this definition, as the term "Change of Control" was not previously defined in the employment agreements of Messrs.
Sundaresh, O'Meara and Lowe, but was understood by all parties to have the same meaning that such term had in the employment
agreements of the Company's other executive officers; and
- A provision is to be added to the employment agreements of Messrs. Sundaresh, O'Meara and Lowe, Mr. Manoj Goyal, the
Company's Vice President and General Manager of the Data Protection Solutions Group, and Mr. Stephen Terlizzi, the Company's Vice
President and General Manager of the Storage and Solutions Group, requiring the reimbursement of any legal expenses incurred by the
executive officer to enforce the terms of his employment agreement following a Change of Control.
Retention Agreements
In addition, on August 14, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved retention agreements for Messrs. O'Meara,
Lowe, Goyal and Terlizzi. Each of these retention agreements provide that, subject to continued satisfactory performance of his duties,
the executive officer will receive a retention bonus equal to six month of his base salary, with two months of the bonus to be paid on
November 23, 2007 and the remaining four months of the bonus to be paid on February 29, 2008. This retention bonus is in addition
to, and not in lieu of, any payment the executive officer is eligible to receive under the Adaptec Incentive Plan or any severance benefits
he is entitled to receive under his employment agreement.
If the executive officer terminates his employment voluntarily or is terminated for cause prior to the date of one of the retention
bonus payment dates, the executive officer will not be entitled to receive such payment. The term "cause" is defined in the
retention agreement to mean (1) a deliberate or serious breach of the executive officer's material duties as assigned by the Company;
(2) refusal or unwillingness to perform such duties; or (3) arrest or conviction of a felony, a serious violation of the law, or other crime
involving moral turpitude, fraud, misappropriation of funds, habitual insobriety or illegal drug use.
If the executive officer is involuntarily terminated due to (1) a Change in Control, as such term is defined in the Company's
2004 Equity Incentive Plan, or (2) a reduction in force, then the executive officer will be entitled to receive both retention bonus
payments, payable immediately upon such termination of employment.
The Company has agreed to require any successor or assignee in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all
or substantially all of the Company's assets or business expressly to assume and agree to perform the Company's obligations under
the retention agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such
succession or assignment had taken place. The Company also agreed to cover all of the executive officer's legal expenses incurred by
him to enforce the retention agreement following a Change of Control.
