base
salary through the date of death, permanent disability, or termination,
to
the extent not already paid;
|
· |
unpaid
bonus earned in any fiscal year ended prior to his date of termination,
permanent disability, or death;
|
· |
accrued
but unused vacation, and
|
· |
reimbursable
business expenses.
|
· |
accrued
base salary through the date of
termination;
|
· |
his
actual earned bonus for any period not already
paid;
|
· |
accrued
but unused vacation;
|
· |
reimbursable
business expenses;
|
· |
an
amount, payable in 24 equal monthly installments, equal to the sum
of two
years’ base salary plus two years’ MIP bonus before any elective deferrals
(based on his average MIP bonus for the five fiscal years preceding
his
date of termination) and an amount equal to 24 times the monthly cost
to
Mr. Accardi for continued COBRA coverage, whether or not such coverage
is
elected;
|
· |
if
the termination had occurred prior to the end of a year as to which
the
Company determined that Mr. Accardi would have earned a MIP bonus but
for
the termination, a pro rata share of the cash portion of the MIP bonus
he
would have earned (excluding deferred or matching
amounts);
|
· |
if
Mr. Accardi terminated before age 60, benefits under the SERP as if
he
were age 60 at the time of termination. This deemed age 60 provision
would
not have increased Mr. Accardi's accrued benefit under the SERP, but
it
would have increased Mr. Accardi's vested percentage in his accrued
benefit. For example, if Mr. Accardi’s employment terminated before the
end of the Company's 2007 fiscal year, his vesting in his accrued benefit
would have
increased from 75% to 85%; and
|
· |
a
lump sum payment equal to 100% of his unvested and vested benefits
under
the EDCP, including deferrals,
company matches
and deemed investment earnings
thereon.

Company’s
SERP, as more particularly discussed
below;

Company’s Non-qualified Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, as more
particularly discussed below;
|
· |
treatment
under Company policy as retiring in good standing for purposes of employee
benefit plans;
|
· |
from
July 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, his continued base salary and
all
other benefits then in effect;
|
· |
reimbursement
of actual legal fees incurred related to the preparation and review
of the
Transition and Early Retirement Agreement, up to a maximum of $12,000;
and
|
· |
an
agreement by the Company to hold Mr. Accardi harmless and not pursue
any
Company claims against him that arose prior to the effective date of
the
Transition and Early Retirement Agreement out of events known to the
Company’s CEO and General Counsel on the Transition and Early Retirement
Agreement’s effective date.
