Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
We entered into a settlement agreement executed as of May 19, 2005 with Lucent Technologies, Inc. under which we received payment of $1.4 million in settlement of a lawsuit between Lucent and ourselves involving a payment dispute under a Software Acceptance and Distribution Agreement. In exchange for the payment, we released Lucent from all claims arising out of either the Agreement or the software product that was subject to the Agreement.
We entered into executive retention agreements dated as of May 23, 2005 with each of Timothy C. O’Brien, our Chief Financial Officer; Eugene J. DiDonato, our Vice President and General Counsel; and Roy Banks, President of Authorize.Net. The retention agreements provide that, in the event that within two (2) years following a change of control (as defined in the retention agreement), the executive’s employment is terminated without cause, or the executive terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the retention agreement), then the executive shall be entitled to the payment of an amount equal to the sum of (a) one times the executive’s base salary plus (b) an amount equal to one times the executive’s prior year’s bonus. The executive is also entitled to acceleration of vesting of any unvested shares under any option granted to the executive, and to the payment of specified benefit continuation costs for a period of 12 months.
