Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers;
Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) On December 21, 2007, the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Genpact Limited (the Company)
took the following actions: (i) approved the execution and delivery of an
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the Bhasin Agreement) for Pramod
Bhasin, the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer; (ii) approved
a letter agreement (the Maekawa Agreement), extending by two years the
retirement age specified for Mitsuru Maekawa, the Chief Executive Officer of
Genpact China; and (iii) ratified the entry into an employment agreement
under Romanian law (the Cogny Agreement) for Patrick Cogny, the President and
Chief Executive Officer of Genpact Europe.
Bhasin
Agreement
The
Bhasin Agreement replaces Mr. Bhasins prior employment agreement dated as
of July 26, 2005. The purpose of
the amendments was to bring the Agreement into compliance with Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code, to reflect the current corporate structure
following the Companys 2007 corporate restructuring and initial public
offering, and to make certain other revisions.
Among other changes, the Agreement specifies that Mr. Bhasin will
receive an annual base salary of not less than U.S. $656,000, and he is
entitled to an annual payment of $60,000 to cover costs related to his primary
residence in addition to reimbursement for certain other personal costs, such
as telephone charges. Mr. Bhasin is
eligible to receive an annual cash bonus equal to 120% of his base salary or
such higher amount as determined by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Agreement now provides that Mr. Bhasins
retention bonus is payable on January 1, 2010 and is equal to the product
of $2,500,000 and a vested percentage, which began at 0% on January 1,
2005 and increases by 5% every three months thereafter until it reaches 100% on
January 1, 2010. In the event of a
change in control, as defined in the Companys 2007 Omnibus Incentive
Compensation Plan, the vested percentage will be 100%. In addition, if Mr. Bhasins
employment is terminated due to death or disability, by the Company without
cause or by Mr. Bhasin for good reason, the vested percentage will be
calculated as if Mr. Bhasin remained employed for an additional 12-month
period after the termination date. Mr. Bhasin shall not receive any unpaid
retention bonus if terminated for cause.
The Agreement also provides that Mr. Bhasin is entitled to receive
a special bonus payment of $2,500,000 in connection with the Companys initial
public offering, to be paid in cash in January 2008.
Maekawa
Agreement
The
Maekawa Agreement modifies the retirement provision set forth in the offer
letter dated January 15, 2006, between Mr. Maekawa and Genpact Japan
Kabushiki Kaisha. The modification
increases the retirement age, at which Mr. Maekawas services with the Company
will automatically terminate, from 60 years to 62 years.
Cogny
Agreement
The
Cogny Agreement was entered into in connection with Mr. Cognys relocation
to Romania and replaces a prior agreement with substantially similar terms
governed by French law. Among other
provisions, the Cogny Agreement specifies that Mr. Cogny will receive an
annual gross basic salary of RON 846,914 (252,801 at the exchange rate
established in the agreement). In
addition, if Mr. Cognys employment is terminated, except for serious
misconduct, he will receive a one-time payment equal to ten months of his base
salary (subject to reduction by any payment due according to collective
agreement and/or law in Romania). The
Cogny Agreement provides for certain benefits, including reimbursement for rent
up to 6,500 per month and for educational expenses for Mr. Cognys
children up to $20,000 per year per child, and use of a company car.
The
foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the
agreements, which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 through 10.3 and are
incorporated herein by reference.

to continue to be employed by the Company, on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement.
B. The
Executive acknowledges that (i) the Executives employment with the
Company and its affiliates has provided and will provide the Executive with

covenants contained in this Agreement are essential to protect the business and
goodwill of the Company.
D. The
Executive entered into an employment agreement with Genpact Global Holdings

was assigned to and assumed by the Company as of July 13, 2007.
E. The
Parties desire to amend and restate the Prior Employment Agreement as set forth
herein.
Accordingly, in consideration of the promises
and the respective covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth below, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

Agreement shall be effective for a period commencing as of January 1, 2005

include such duties as the Board may from time to time reasonably assign.
(b) During
the Term and except as otherwise agreed by the Company, the Executive shall
devote the Executives full employable time, attention and best efforts to the
business affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries (except during vacations
or illness) and will not actively engage in outside activities, whether or not
such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage unless
such activity (and the amount thereof) is approved by the Board; provided,
however, the Executive may devote time to personal investments,
philanthropic service or other personal matters without obtaining such Board
approval. In addition to the other
titles and responsibilities described in this Section 3, if requested by
the Board, the Executive shall serve (without additional compensation) during
the Term as an officer or director of any subsidiary of the Company.
(c) The
Company reserves the right to depute or second the Executive during the Term to
any of its affiliates or group entities.
Section 4. Cash Compensation.
(a) Base
Salary. Effective as of April 1,
2007, the Executive shall receive an annual base salary (the Base Salary)
of not less than U.S.$656,000. The Base
Salary shall be payable in accordance with the customary payroll practices of

ending during the Term (each, a Fiscal Year, which as of the date

(as defined in Section 4(c)(ii) below) as of the Payment Date.
(ii) Subject
to the Executives continued employment with the Company through the end of the

shares of Common Stock which are not at the time freely tradable on an
established securities market, the Executive shall have the right to direct the
Company to withhold a portion of those shares in satisfaction of all applicable
withholding taxes. For purposes of such
withholding tax obligation, the withheld shares shall be valued at their Fair

Section 6. Expenses.
During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt
reimbursement for all travel and business expenses reasonably incurred and
accounted for by the Executive (in accordance with the policies and procedures
established from time to time by the Company) in performing services hereunder.
Section 7. Other Benefits.
(a) Employee
Benefits, Fringe Benefits and Perquisites.
During the Term, the Executive shall be able to participate in employee

time to time to the Companys other senior executives. In addition, effective January 1, 2008
and continuing during the Term, the Executive shall receive (i) reimbursement
of the actual costs incurred by the Executive of utilities (including

cover such other personal costs as the Executive deems appropriate with such
amount paid to the Executive in equal installments on the date of payments of
his Base Salary each year.

(i) Normal
Retirement Benefit. The Executive
shall be eligible to receive from the Company a special pension benefit (the Special
Pension Benefit), which shall be payable in the amounts, at the times and
in the forms described in this Section 7(b).
(ii) Unless
the Executive elects otherwise in accordance with this Section 7(b), the
Special Pension Benefit shall be payable in the form of a five-year sum certain
joint and survivor life annuity benefit (the Normal Benefit) in the
annual amount of US$ 190,000 (such annual amount, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 7(b),
the Annual Amount) commencing on the earliest of (A) the Executives
separation from service with the Company (as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of
the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code and, such regulations, the 409A
Regulations)) that occurs on or
after the Executives obtaining age 60, (B) the Executives death or
disability (within the meaning of Section 1.401A-3(i)(4) of the 409A
Regulations) and (C) the Executives attaining age 65 (such date, the Commencement
Date). Unless the Executive elects
otherwise in accordance with this Section 7(b), the Special Pension
Benefit shall be paid in equal monthly installments on the 15th day of each
month beginning with the first full month following the Commencement Date, with
each such installment equal to 1/12 of the Annual Amount, provided, however,
that if the Special Pension Benefit becomes payable as a result of the
Executives separation from service with the Company (other than due to death
or disability) at a time when the Executive is a specified employee of the
Company (as defined in Section 409A-1(i)(1) of the 409A Regulations
and as determined by the Company) and the Companys stock is publicly traded on
an established securities market, then no payments shall be made until the
earlier of (A) the expiration of the six month period following such
separation from
4
service and (B) the Executives death (the Delay Period)
and any amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the Delay Period
shall be paid in lump sum on the first business day following the end of the
Delay Period. The Executive shall be entitled to interest on the deferred
benefits and payments for the Delay Period, with such interest to accrue at the
prime rate in effect from time to time during that period and to be paid in a
lump sum on the first business day following the end of the Delay Period.
(iii) Election
to Defer Commencement. The Executive
may elect to have the Special Pension Benefit commence on a date later than the
Commencement Date, but only if (A) such alternative date is permitted to
be a commencement date for payment under the General Electric Company Pension
Plan, as amended and restated as of July 1, 2003, a copy of which is on
file with the Corporate Secretary of the Company (the GE Plan) and (B) such
election to delay the Commencement Date satisfies the subsequent deferral
election requirements under Section 409A.
In the event of any such election, the Annual Amount shall be adjusted
in accordance with the terms of the GE Plan.
(iv) Form of
Payment. The Executive may elect to
have the Special Pension Benefit be paid in a form other than the form of the Normal
Benefit, but only if (A) such alternative form is permitted under the GE
Plan and (B) such election to change the form of payment satisfies the
requirements for subsequent elections to change the form of payment under Section 409A. In the event of any such election, the Annual
Amount shall be adjusted to reflect the applicable form of payment in
accordance with the terms of the GE Plan.
(v) Administration
of Special Pension Benefit. The
Special Pension Benefit shall be administered by the Board, or a committee thereof,
in accordance with the terms and purposes of Section 7(b). The Board, or a committee thereof, shall have
the sole and absolute discretionary duty and authority to interpret the
provisions of Section 7(b) and the GE Plan as it pertains to Section 7(b) and
determine the amount and manner of payments of the Special Pension Benefit due
to the Executive.
(vi) No
Off-Set; Unsecured Creditor. In no
event shall the Special Pension Benefit be reduced by any amounts otherwise
payable to the Executive under the GE Plan.
The Executives rights to the Special Pension Benefit shall be solely
those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company, and nothing herein shall
be deemed to give the Executive any right to particular assets of the Company
or to require the Company to establish a fund or trust for the benefit of the
Executive or otherwise set aside assets for his benefit.
(c) Vacations. The Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks
paid vacation during each year of the Term.
The Executive shall also be entitled to all paid holidays and personal
days given by the Company to its senior executives.
(d) Relocation. If the Executive relocates his residence at
the request of the Company during the Term, the Company shall, consistent with
its
5
relocation policies and subject to Section 10(d)(iii), reimburse
the Executive for the Executives expenses incurred for relocating himself and
his immediate family.
(e) Indemnification. The Company and its successors and/or assigns
will indemnify and defend the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law of the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated and the
organizational documents of the Company with respect to any claims that may be
brought against the Executive arising out of any action taken or not taken in
the Executives capacity as an officer or director of the Company or any of its
affiliates. In addition, the Executive
shall be covered, in respect of the Executives activities as a director and
officer of the Company or any of its affiliates, by the Companys Directors and
Officers liability policy or other comparable policies obtained by the Companys
successors, to the fullest extent permitted by such policies. The Companys indemnification obligations

in the nature or scope of the Executives authority or duties from those contemplated
by this Agreement; (II) a reduction in the then current Base Salary,
target Annual Bonus or fringe benefits specific to the Executive; or (III) causing
or requiring the Executive to report to any person other than the Board; provided,
however, that any such event described in (I), (II) or (III) above
shall not constitute Good Reason unless and until the Executive shall have
provided the Company with notice of such event and the Company shall have
failed to remedy such event within 30 days of receipt of such notice.
(ii) Upon
the termination of the Executives employment hereunder pursuant to Section 8(d),
the Executive shall receive the following payments: (A) payment of an amount equal to the sum
of (I) any earned but unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination, (II) any
earned but unpaid Bonus for any Fiscal Year preceding the Fiscal Year in which
the termination occurs, (III) a pro-rata amount of the Annual Bonus for
the Fiscal Year in which the termination occurs and (IV) the dollar value
of all accrued and unused vacation based upon the Executives most recent level
of Base Salary, (B) payment of any vested portion of the Retention Bonus,
including the portion which vests upon such termination of employment, (C) payment of an amount equal to the sum
of (X) two times the Executives Base Salary (at the rate then in effect)
and (Y) two times the Annual Bonus the Executive received for the Fiscal
Year preceding the Fiscal Year in which the termination occurs and (D) any
earned but unpaid IPO Bonus. The amounts
payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence in Section 8(d) (other
than with respect to the payments under clause (D) which are subject to Section 4(c)(v))
shall be paid, in lump sum, within sixty (60) days following the Executives separation
from service with the Company (as defined in Section 1.409A-1(h) of
the 409A Regulations). In addition,
outstanding equity awards will accelerate in accordance with the terms of the
agreements evidencing the awards.
(iii) In
addition, the Company shall continue to provide, at the Companys cost, health
benefits to the Executive and his spouse and other eligible dependents at the
same level of coverage and benefits as is provided to U.S.-based senior
executives of the Company for the two-year period following the date of the
Executives termination; provided, that the Companys obligation to
provide any such health benefits shall cease with respect to each such health
benefits at the time the Executive and his spouse and other eligible dependents
become eligible for such health benefits from another employer. To the extent that the provision of health
benefits is not permissible after termination of employment under the terms of
the benefit plans of the Company then in effect, the Company shall pay to the
Executive such amount as is necessary to provide the Executive, after tax, with
an amount equal to the cost of acquiring, for the Executive and his spouse and
other eligible dependents, on a non-group basis, for the required period, those
health benefits that would otherwise be lost to the Executive and his spouse
and other eligible dependents as a result of the Executives termination. All other benefits, if any, due the Executive
following a termination pursuant to Section 8(d) shall be determined
in accordance with the plans, policies and practices of the Company; provided,
however, that the Executive shall not participate in any severance plan,
policy
9
or program of the Company. The
Executive shall not accrue any additional compensation (including any Base
Salary or Annual Bonus) or other benefits under this Agreement following such
termination of employment. Any in-kind health
benefits coverage (or any payments for such coverage) provided in any one
calendar year shall not affect the amount of in-kind benefits (or any payments)
in any subsequent calendar year for which the health care coverage is to be
provided hereunder and the right to continued health care benefits (or payments
therefor) cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit.
(e) Execution
of Release of All Claims. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive acknowledges
and agrees that any and all payments and benefits to which the Executive is
entitled under Section 8(d) (other than the acceleration of any
equity awards) are conditional upon, and subject to, the Executives execution
of a mutual release and waiver of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The release must be executed by the Executive
and the Company and effective on or prior to the 60th day after the date of
termination of the Executives employment with the Company.
(f) Notice
of Termination. Any purported
termination of employment by the Company or the Executive shall be communicated
by a written Notice of Termination to the Executive or the Company,
respectively, delivered in accordance with Section 10(f) hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a Notice
of Termination shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific
termination provision in the Agreement relied upon, the date of termination,
and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of employment under the provision so indicated. The date of termination of the Executives
employment shall be the date so stated in the Notice of Termination, which
date, in the event of a termination initiated by the Executive or by the
Company pursuant to Section 8(d) shall be no less than 30 days
following the delivery of a Notice of Termination or in the event of a
termination initiated by the Executive pursuant to Section 8(c) shall
be no less than 30 days following the delivery of a Notice of Termination; provided,
however, that in the case of a termination for Cause by the Company, the
date of termination shall be the date the Notice of Termination is delivered in
accordance with Section 8(c).
Section 9. Restrictive Covenants.
(a) Noncompetition. In consideration of the payments by the
Company to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, the Executive hereby
covenants and agrees that, during the Term and for the one-year period
following the date of the Executives termination for any reason, the Executive
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, engage in Competition
(as defined below) with the Company, the Prior Employers or any of their
respective affiliates or subsidiaries (collectively, the Company Group). For purposes of this Agreement, if the
Executive takes any of the following actions he shall be engaged in Competition:
engaging in or carrying on, directly or
indirectly, any enterprise, whether as an advisor, principal, agent, partner,
officer, director, employee, stockholder, associate or consultant to any of the
five entities
10
listed on the competitor list attached as Exhibit B hereto,
or any successor of any such entity, which competitor list may be amended
annually by the Board, or a committee thereof, to add or delete entities from
such list provided that in no event shall the number of entities named on such
list exceed five. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Competition shall not include the passive ownership of securities
in any entity listed on Exhibit B and exercise of rights
appurtenant thereto, so long as such securities represent no more than two
percent (2%) of the voting power of all securities of such enterprise.
(b) Nonsolicitation;
No-Hire. In further consideration of
the payments by the Company to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, the
Executive hereby covenants and agrees that, during the Term and for the
two-year period following the date of the Executives termination for any
reason, the Executive shall not knowingly (i) attempt to influence,
persuade or induce, or assist any other person in so influencing, persuading or
inducing, any employee or independent contractor of the Company Group to give
up, or to not commence, employment or a business relationship with the Company
Group, (ii) unless otherwise in contravention of applicable law, directly,
or indirectly through direction to any third party, hire or engage, or cause to
be hired or engaged, any person who is or was an employee or independent
contractor of the Company Group, or (iii) attempt to influence, persuade
or induce, or assist any other person in so influencing, persuading or
inducing, any agent, consultant, vendor, supplier or customer of the Company
Group to give up or not commence, a business relationship with the Company
Group.
(c) Confidential
Information. The Executive
acknowledges that the Company Group has a legitimate and continuing proprietary
interest in the protection of its confidential information and that it has
invested substantial sums and will continue to invest substantial sums to
develop, maintain and protect such confidential information. During the Term and at all times thereafter,
the Executive shall not, except with the written consent of the Company or in
connection with carrying out the Executives duties or responsibilities
hereunder, furnish or make accessible to anyone or use for the Executives own
benefit any trade secrets, confidential or proprietary information of the
Company Group, including its business plans, marketing plans, strategies,
systems, programs, methods, employee lists, computer programs, insurance
profiles and client lists; provided, that such protected information
shall not include information known to the public or otherwise in the public
domain without violation by the Executive of this Section 9(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive
may disclose Confidential Information when required to do so by a court of
competent jurisdiction, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority
over the business of the Company Group or by any administrative body or
legislative body (including a committee thereof) with jurisdiction to order the
Executive to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information; provided,
further, that in the event that Executive is ordered by a court or other
government agency to disclose any Confidential Information, the Executive shall
(i) promptly notify the Company of such order, (ii) at the written
request of the Company, diligently contest such order at the sole expense of
the Company as expenses occur, and (iii) at the written request of the
Company, seek to obtain, at the sole expense of the Company, such confidential
treatment as may be available under applicable laws for any information
disclosed under such order.
11
(d) Property
of the Company. All memoranda,
notes, lists, records and other documents or papers (and all copies thereof)
relating to the Company Group, whether written or stored on electronic media,
made or compiled by or on behalf of the Executive in the course of the
Executives employment, or made available to the Executive in the course of the
Executives employment, relating to the Company Group, or to any entity which
may hereafter become an affiliate thereof, but excluding the Executives
personal effects, Rolodexes and similar items, shall be the property of the
Company, and shall, except as otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, be
delivered to the Company promptly upon the termination of the Executives
employment with the Company for any reason or at any other time upon request.
(e) Developments
the Property of the Company. All
discoveries, inventions, ideas, technology, formulas, designs, software,
programs, algorithms, products, systems, applications, processes, procedures,
methods and improvements and enhancements conceived, developed or otherwise
made or created or produced by the Executive alone or with others, at any time
during his employment with the Company, and in any way relating to the business
activities which are the same as or substantially similar to business
activities carried on by the Company Group or being definitely planned by the
Company Group (the Business), or the products or services of the
Company Group, whether or not subject to patent, copyright or other protection
and whether or not reduced to tangible form (Developments), shall be
the sole and exclusive property of the Company.
The Executive agrees to, and hereby does, assign to the Company, without
any further consideration, all of the Executives right, title and interest
throughout the world in and to all Developments. The Executive agrees that all such
Developments that are copyrightable may constitute works made for hire under
the copyright laws of the United States and, as such, acknowledges that
the Company or one of the members of the Company Group, as the case may be, is
the author of such Developments and owns all of the rights comprised in the
copyright of such Developments and the Executive hereby assigns to the Company
without any further consideration all of the rights comprised in the copyright
and other proprietary rights the Executive may have in any such Development to
the extent that it might not be considered a work made for hire. The Executive shall make and maintain
adequate and current written records of all Developments and shall disclose all
Developments promptly, fully and in writing to the Company promptly after
development of the same, and at any time upon request.
(f) Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that
the Companys remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the
provisions of Sections 9(a), (b), (c) and (d) herein would be
inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the Executive agrees that, in the
event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at
law, the Company shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of
specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent
injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available. In addition, the Company shall be entitled to
immediately cease paying any amounts remaining due or providing any benefits to
the Executive pursuant to Section 8 in the event that the Executive has
violated any provision of Section 9(a) or has materially breached any
of his obligations under Sections 9(b), (c), (d) and (e) of this
Agreement. The Executive
12
understands that the provisions of Sections 9(a) and 9(b) may
limit his ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the Business
but he nevertheless agrees and hereby acknowledges that (i) such
provisions do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the
goodwill or other business interests of the Company, (ii) such provisions
contain reasonable limitations as to time and scope of activity to be
restrained, (iii) such provisions are not harmful to the general public, (iv) such
provisions are not unduly burdensome to the Executive, and (v) the
consideration provided hereunder is sufficient to compensate the Executive for
the restrictions contained in Sections 9(a) and 9(b). In consideration of the foregoing and in light
of the Executives education, skills and abilities, the Executive agrees that
he shall not assert that, and it should not be considered that, any provisions
of Sections 9(a) and 9(b) otherwise are void, voidable or
unenforceable or should be voided or held unenforceable. It is expressly understood and agreed that
although the Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in Sections 9(a) and
9(b) to be reasonable, if a judicial determination is made by a court of
competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction
contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against the Executive,
the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed
amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum
extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent
jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is
unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it
enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the
other restrictions contained herein.
Section 10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Executives
and Companys Representations. The
Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that: (i) the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by the Executive does not and shall not conflict
with, breach, violate or cause a default under any contract, agreement,
instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Executive is a party or by
which he is bound; (ii) the Executive is not a party to or bound by an
employment agreement, non-compete agreement or confidentiality agreement with
any other person or entity which would interfere in any material respect with
the performance of his duties hereunder; provided, however, that
the Executive is currently bound by a confidentiality agreement with General
Electric Corporation which the Parties hereby agree will not materially
interfere with the performance of the Executives duties hereunder; and (iii) Executive
shall not use any confidential information or trade secrets of any person or
party other than the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with the
performance of his duties hereunder. The
Company represents and warrants that it is fully authorized and empowered to
enter into this Agreement, that the Agreement has been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action, and that the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement will not violate any agreement between it and any other person,
firm or organization.
(b) Mitigation. The Executive shall have no duty to mitigate
his damages by seeking other employment and, should the Executive actually
receive compensation from any such other employment, the payments required
hereunder shall
13
not be reduced or offset by any other compensation except as
specifically provided herein.
(c) Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be
modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is
agreed to in a writing signed by the Executive and an officer of the Company
(other than the Executive) duly authorized by the Board to execute such
amendment, waiver or discharge. No waiver
by either Party at any time of any breach of the other Party of, or compliance
with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such
other Party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or
conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.
(d) Compliance
with Section 409A of the Code.
(i) It
is intended that this Agreement be interpreted and administered to prevent
taxation under Section 409A of the Code.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no
payments or benefits to which the Executive becomes entitled under this
Agreement shall be made or paid to the Executive prior to the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of his separation
from service with the Company (as such term is defined in Section 409A-1(h) of
the 409A Regulations) or (ii) the date of the Executives death, if the
Executive is deemed at the time of such separation from service a key employee
within the meaning of that term under Code Section 416(i) and the
Companys stock is publicly traded on an established securities market and such
delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited
distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2). Upon the expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2) deferral
period, all payments deferred pursuant to this subsection 10(d) shall be
paid in a lump sum to the Executive, and any remaining payments due under this
Agreement shall be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. The Executive shall be entitled to interest
on any deferred benefits and payments during the deferral period, with such
interest to accrue at the prime rate in effect from time to time during that
period and to be paid in a lump sum on the first business day following the end
of the deferral period.
(ii) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall modify
the time and/or form of payment under any Applicable Arrangement (as
defined below) if and to the extent that the Company or the Executive
determines such modification to be necessary or advisable to avoid the
imposition on the Executive of the additional taxes imposed on certain
non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements pursuant to Section 409A
of the Code. In making any such
modification to an Applicable Arrangement, the determination by the Company or
the Executive must be made in good faith, be based on advice of counsel and be
designed, in the Companys sole judgment, to fulfill as closely as possible the
Companys original commitment to the Executive under the Applicable Arrangement
without regard to Section 409A of the Code without increasing the Companys
costs under the Applicable Arrangement.
No modification shall be made by the Company without prior written
notice to the Executive. For this
purpose, Applicable
14
Arrangements shall mean the Retention Bonus, the IPO Bonus, and
the Special Pension Benefit, referred to in Sections 4(c) and 7(b) and
any severance payments under Section 8.
(iii) All
reimbursements under Sections 7(a) and 7 (d) shall be made promptly following
the submission of a reimbursement request by the Executive and no later than
the end of the Executives taxable year (the Executive Tax Year) following
the Executive Tax Year in which the expense is incurred. The amount of expenses eligible for
reimbursement under Sections 7(a) and 7(d) and in-kind benefits
payable under Section 7(a) during an Executive Tax Year shall not
affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits payable in
another Executive Tax Year. No right to
reimbursement under Sections 7(a) and 7(d) or payment of in-kind
benefits under Section 7(a) shall be subject to liquidation or
exchange for any other payment or benefit.
(e) Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding on and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the
Company.
(f) Notice. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices
and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing

EXHIBIT
A
GENERAL
RELEASE
AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE
TO ALL WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL
COME OR MAY CONCERN, KNOW that:
Pramod Bhasin (Executive), on
Executives own behalf and on behalf of Executives descendants, dependents,
heirs, executors and administrators and permitted assigns, past and present, in
consideration for the amounts payable and benefits to be provided to Executive

discharges the Company and any of its assigns, affiliates, subsidiaries,
parents, predecessors and successors, and the past and present shareholders,

(collectively, the Company Group), from any and all claims, demands,
rights, judgments, defenses, actions, charges or causes of action whatsoever,
of any and every kind and description, whether known or unknown, accrued or not
accrued, that Executive ever had, now has or shall or may have or assert as of
the date of this Release and Covenant Not to Sue against the Company Group
relating to his employment with the Company or the termination thereof or his
service as an officer or director of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company
or the termination of such service, including, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, any claims, demands, rights, judgments, defenses, actions,
charges or causes of action related to employment or termination of employment
or that arise out of or relate in any way to the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA, a law that prohibits discrimination on
the basis of age), the National Labor Relations Act, the Civil Rights Act of
1991, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA),
and the Family and Medical Leave Act, all as amended, and other Federal, state
and local laws relating to discrimination on the basis of age, sex or other
protected class, all claims under Federal, state or local laws for express or
implied breach of contract, wrongful discharge, defamation, intentional
infliction of emotional distress, and any related claims for attorneys fees
and costs; provided, however, that nothing herein shall release
the Company from any of its obligations to Executive under the Employment
Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligation to pay the amounts and
provide the benefits upon which this Release and Covenant Not to Sue is conditioned)
or any rights Executive may have to indemnification under any charter or
by-laws (or similar documents) of any member of the Company Group or any
insurance coverage under any directors and officers insurance or similar
policies or any benefits vested and accrued as of the date hereof which the Executive
has under any ERISA benefit plan.
The Company Group does hereby covenant not to
sue or pursue any litigation against, and waives, releases and discharges
Executive and Executives descendants, dependents, heirs, executors and
administrators and assigns, past and present (collectively, the Executive
Group), from any and all claims, demands, rights,
judgments, defenses,
actions, charges or causes of action whatsoever, of any and every kind and
description, whether known or unknown, accrued or not accrued, that the Company
Group ever had, now have or shall or may have or assert as of the date of this
Release and Covenant Not to Sue against any member of the Executive Group
relating to his employment with the Company or the termination thereof or his
service as an officer or director of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company
or the termination of such service (collectively, Claims); provided,
however, that (i) nothing herein shall release Executive from any

Group from any Claims (A) which are based upon any acts or omissions of
Executive that involve fraud or (B) which were not known to the
non-employee members of the Companys board of directors on the date hereof.
The parties hereto agree that this Release
and Covenant Not to Sue may be pleaded as a full defense to any action, suit or
other proceeding covered by the terms hereof that is or may be initiated,
prosecuted or maintained by any such party or his or its heirs or assigns. Executive understands and confirms that
Executive is executing this Release and Covenant Not to Sue voluntarily and knowingly,
but that this Release and Covenant Not to Sue does not affect Executives right
to claim otherwise under ADEA. In
addition, Executive shall not be precluded by this Release and Covenant Not to
Sue from filing a charge with any relevant Federal, state or local
administrative agency, but Executive agrees to waive Executives rights with
respect to any monetary or other financial relief arising from any such
administrative proceeding.
In furtherance of, and solely to the extent
provided by, the agreements set forth above, the parties hereby expressly waive
and relinquish any and all rights under any applicable statute, doctrine or
principle of law restricting the right of any person to release claims that
such person does not know or suspect to exist at the time of executing a
release, which claims, if known, may have materially affected such persons
decision to give such a release. In
connection with such waiver and relinquishment, the parties acknowledge that
they are aware that they may hereafter discover claims presently unknown or
unsuspected, or facts in addition to or different from those that they now know
or believe to be true, with respect to the matters released herein. Nevertheless, it is the intention of the
parties to fully, finally and forever release all such matters, and all claims
relating thereto, that now exist, may exist or theretofore have existed, as
specifically provided herein. The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this waiver shall be an essential and
material term of the releases contained above.
Nothing in this paragraph is intended to expand the scope of the
releases as specified herein.
This Release and Covenant Not to Sue shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
To the extent that Executive is forty (40)
years of age or older, this paragraph shall apply. Executive acknowledges that Executive has
been offered a period of time of at least twenty-one (21) days to consider
whether to sign this Release and Covenant Not to Sue and the Company agrees
that Executive may cancel this Release and Covenant Not to Sue at any time
during the seven (7) days following the date on which this Release and
Covenant Not to Sue has been signed by all parties to this Release and
2
Covenant Not to Sue. In order to cancel or revoke this Release and
Covenant Not to Sue, Executive must deliver to the General Counsel of the
Company written notice stating that Executive is canceling or revoking this
Release and Covenant Not to Sue. If this
Release and Covenant Not to Sue is timely cancelled or revoked, none of the
provisions of this Release and Covenant Not to Sue shall be effective or
enforceable by any party and the Company shall not be obligated to make the
payments to Executive or to provide Executive with the other benefits described
in the Employment Agreement and all contracts and provisions modified,
relinquished or rescinded hereunder shall be reinstated to the extent in effect
immediately prior hereto.
Executive hereby agrees not to defame or
disparage any member of the Company Group or any executive, manager, director,
or officer of any member of the Company Group in any medium to any person
without limitation in time. The Company
hereby agrees that its board of directors, the members of the Company Group and
the executives, managers and officers of the members of the Company Group shall
not defame or disparage Executive in any medium to any person without
limitation in time. Notwithstanding this
provision, either party may confer in confidence with his or its legal
