10.1 | Employment Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2009, by and
among Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. and Frank
R. Sanchez. |
(a) | equivalent or more beneficial medical and other insurance coverage (for Employee and any covered dependents) provided by Company to executives with the same corporate title (e.g., Corporate Executive Vice President); | ||
(b) | supplemental disability insurance sufficient to provide a benefit to Employee equal to two-thirds of Employees pre-disability Annual Base Salary, provided that such coverage is available in the market using traditional standards of underwriting; | ||
(c) | an annual incentive bonus opportunity under Companys annual incentive plan (Annual Bonus Plan) for each calendar year included in the Employment Term, with such opportunity to be earned based upon attainment of performance objectives established by the Board or Committee (Annual Bonus). Employees target Annual Bonus under the Annual Bonus Plan shall be no less than 150% of Employees then current Annual Base Salary, with a maximum of up to 300% of Employees then current Annual Base Salary (collectively, the target and maximum Annual Bonus are referred to as the Annual Bonus Opportunity). Employees Annual Bonus Opportunity may be periodically reviewed and increased, but may not be decreased without Employees express written consent. If owed pursuant to the terms of the Annual Bonus Plan, the Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than the March 15th first following the calendar year to which the Annual Bonus relates. Unless provided otherwise herein or the Board determines otherwise, no Annual Bonus shall be paid to Employee unless Employee is employed by Company, or an affiliate thereof, on the Annual Bonus payment date; | ||
(d) | eligibility to participate in Companys equity incentive plans; and | ||
(e) | all other benefits and incentive opportunities customarily made available to executives with the same corporate title. |
(a) | Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of Employees employment (other than by reason of death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination (as defined herein) from one party to the other in accordance with the notice provisions contained in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a Notice of Termination shall mean a notice that indicates the Date of Termination and, with respect to a termination due to Cause, Disability or Good Reason, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances that are alleged to provide a basis for such termination. A Notice of Termination from Company shall specify whether the termination is with or without Cause or due to Employees Disability. A Notice of Termination from Employee shall specify whether the termination is with or without Good Reason. | ||
(b) | Date of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, Date of Termination shall mean the date specified in the Notice of Termination (but in no event shall such date be earlier than the thirtieth (30th) day following the date the Notice of Termination is given) or the date of Employees death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Date of Termination occur until Employee experiences a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A (as defined in Section 26(b) of this Agreement), and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the date on which such separation from service takes place shall be the Date of Termination, and all references herein to a termination of employment (or words of similar meaning) shall mean a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A. | ||
(c) | No Waiver. The failure to set forth any fact or circumstance in a Notice of Termination, which fact or circumstance was not known to the party giving the Notice of Termination when the notice was given, shall not constitute a waiver of the right to assert such fact or circumstance in an attempt to enforce any right under or provision of this Agreement. | ||
(d) | Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination for Cause means a termination of Employees employment by Company based upon Employees: (i) persistent failure to perform duties consistent with a commercially reasonable standard of care (other than due to a physical or mental impairment or due to an action or inaction directed by Company that would otherwise constitute Good Reason); (ii) willful neglect of duties (other than due to a physical or mental impairment or due to an action or inaction directed by Company that would otherwise constitute Good Reason); (iii) conviction of, or pleading nolo contendere to, criminal or other illegal activities involving dishonesty or moral |
turpitude; (iv) material breach of this Agreement; (v) material breach of Companys business policies, accounting practices or standards of ethics; or (vi) failure to materially cooperate with or impeding an investigation authorized by the Board. | |||
(e) | Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination based upon Disability means a termination of Employees employment by Company based upon Employees entitlement to long-term disability benefits under Companys long-term disability plan or policy, as the case may be, as in effect on the Date of Termination. | ||
(f) | Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination for Good Reason means a termination of Employees employment by Employee based upon the occurrence (without Employees express written consent) of any of the following: |
(i) | a material adverse change in Employees position or title, or a material diminution in Employees managerial authority, duties or responsibilities or the conditions under which such duties or responsibilities are performed (e.g., a material reduction in the number or scope of department(s), functional group(s) or personnel over which Employee has managerial authority), in each case as in effect as of immediately following the Effective Date; | ||
(ii) | a material adverse change in the position to whom Employee reports (e.g., CEO), or a material diminution in the managerial authority, duties or responsibilities of the person in that position, in each case as of immediately following the Effective Date; | ||
(iii) | a material change in the geographic location of Employees principal working location (currently, 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida), which Company has determined to be a relocation of more than thirty-five (35) miles; | ||
(iv) | a material diminution in Employees Annual Base Salary or Annual Bonus Opportunity; or | ||
(v) | a material breach by Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement. |
(a) | Termination by Company for a Reason Other than Cause, Death or Disability and Termination by Employee for Good Reason. If Employees employment is terminated during the Employment Term by: (1) Company for any reason other than Cause, Death or Disability; or (2) Employee for Good Reason: |
(i) | Company shall pay Employee the following (collectively, the Accrued Obligations): (A) within five (5) business days after the Date of Termination, any earned but unpaid Annual Base Salary; (B) within a reasonable time following submission of all applicable documentation, any expense reimbursement payments owed to Employee for expenses incurred prior to the Date of Termination; and (C) no later than March 15th of the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus payments relating to the prior calendar year; | ||
(ii) | Company shall pay Employee no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, a prorated Annual Bonus based upon the actual Annual Bonus that would have been earned by Employee for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, ignoring any requirement under the Annual Bonus Plan that Employee must be employed on the payment date (using Employees Annual Bonus Opportunity for the prior year if no Annual Bonus Opportunity has been approved for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs), multiplied by the percentage of the calendar year completed before the Date of Termination; | ||
(iii) | Company shall pay Employee as soon as practicable, but not later than the sixty-fifth (65th) day after the Date of Termination, a lump-sum payment equal to 300% of the sum of: (A) Employees Annual Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the Date of Termination (disregarding any reduction in Annual Base Salary to which Employee did not expressly consent in writing); and (B) the highest Annual Bonus paid to Employee by Company within the three (3) years preceding the Date of Termination or, if higher, the target Annual Bonus in the year in which the Date of Termination occurs; | ||
(iv) | All stock option, restricted stock and other equity-based incentive awards granted by Company that were outstanding but not vested as of the Date of Termination shall become immediately vested and/or payable, as the case may be, unless the equity incentive awards are based upon satisfaction of |
performance criteria; in which case, they will only vest pursuant to their express terms; | |||
(v) | Any life insurance coverage provided by Company shall terminate at the same time as life insurance coverage would normally terminate for any other employee that terminates employment with Company, and Employee shall have the right to convert that life insurance coverage to an individual policy under the regular rules of Companys group policy. In addition, as soon as practicable, but not later than the sixty-fifth (65th) day after the Date of Termination, Company shall pay Employee a lump sum cash payment equal to thirty-six monthly life insurance premiums based on the monthly premiums that would be due assuming that Employee had converted Companys life insurance coverage that was in effect on the Notice of Termination into an individual policy; and | ||
(vi) | As long as Employee pays the full monthly premiums for COBRA coverage, Company shall provide Employee and, as applicable, Employees eligible dependents with continued medical and dental coverage, on the same basis as provided to Companys active executives and their dependents until the earlier of: (i) three (3) years after the Date of Termination; or (ii) the date Employee is first eligible for medical and dental coverage (without pre-existing condition limitations) with a subsequent employer. In addition, as soon as practicable, but not later than the sixty-fifth (65th) day after the Date of Termination, Company shall pay Employee a lump sum cash payment equal to thirty-six monthly medical and dental COBRA premiums based on the level of coverage in effect for Employee (e.g., employee only or family coverage) on the Date of Termination. |
(b) | Termination by Company for Cause and by Employee without Good Reason. If Employees employment is terminated during the Employment Term by Company for Cause or by Employee without Good Reason, Companys only obligation under this Agreement shall be payment of any Accrued Obligations. | ||
(c) | Termination due to Death or Disability. If Employees employment is terminated during the Employment Term due to death or Disability, Company shall pay Employee (or to Employees estate or personal representative in the case of death), as soon as practicable, but not later than the sixty-fifth (65th) day after the Date of Termination: (i) any Accrued Obligations; plus (ii) a prorated Annual Bonus based upon the target Annual Bonus Opportunity in the year in which the Date of Termination occurred (or the prior year if no target Annual Bonus Opportunity has yet been determined) multiplied by the percentage of the calendar year completed before the Date of Termination; plus (iii) the unpaid portion of the Annual Base Salary that would have been paid through the remainder of the Employment Term. |
(a) | During Employment Term. During the Employment Term Employee will devote such business time, attention and energies reasonably necessary to the diligent and faithful performance of the services to Company and its affiliates, and will not engage in any way whatsoever, directly or indirectly, in any business that is a direct competitor with Companys or its affiliates principal business, nor solicit customers, suppliers or employees of Company or affiliates on behalf of, or in any other manner work for or assist any business which is a direct competitor with Companys or its affiliates principal business. In addition, during the Employment Term, Employee will undertake no planning for or organization of any business activity competitive with the work performed as an employee of Company, and Employee will not combine or conspire with any other employee of Company or any other person for the purpose of organizing any such competitive business activity. | ||
(b) | After Employment Term. The parties acknowledge that Employee will acquire substantial knowledge and information concerning the business of Company and its affiliates as a result of employment. The parties further acknowledge that the scope of business in which Company and its affiliates are engaged as of the Effective Date is national and very competitive and one in which few companies can successfully compete. Competition by Employee in that business after the Employment Term would severely injure Company and its affiliates. Accordingly, for a period of one (1) year after Employees employment terminates |
for any reason whatsoever, except as otherwise stated herein below, Employee agrees: (1) not to become an employee, consultant, advisor, principal, partner or substantial shareholder of any firm or business that directly competes with Company or its affiliates in their principal products and markets; and (2), on behalf of any such competitive firm or business, not to solicit any person or business that was at the time of such termination and remains a customer or prospective customer, a supplier or prospective supplier, or an employee of Company or an affiliate. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions to the contrary, Employee shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Subsection (b) if: (i) Employees employment is terminated by Company without Cause; (ii) Employee terminates employment for Good Reason; or (iii) Employees employment is terminated as a result of Companys unwillingness to extend the Employment Term.. | |||
(c) | Exclusion. Working, directly or indirectly, for any of the following entities shall not be considered competitive to Company or its affiliates for the purpose of this section: (i) Fidelity National Financial, Inc., its affiliates or their successors; or (ii) Lender Processing Services Inc., its affiliates or their successors. |
(a) | Withholding. Company or an affiliate may deduct from all compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement any taxes or withholdings Company is required to deduct pursuant to state, federal or local laws. | ||
(b) | Section 409A. This Agreement and any payment, distribution or other benefit hereunder shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), or an exemption or exclusion therefrom, as well as any related regulations or other guidance promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service (Section 409A), to the extent applicable, and shall in all respects be administered in accordance with Section 409A; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not be construed to require a gross-up payment in respect of any taxes, interest or penalties imposed on Employee as a result of Section 409A. To the extent Employee is a specified employee under Section 409A, no payment, distribution or other benefit described in this Agreement constituting a distribution of deferred compensation (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)) to be paid during the six-month period following Employees separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) will be made during such six-month period. Instead, any such deferred compensation shall be paid on the first business day following the six-month anniversary of the separation from service. In no event may Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement. Any provision that would cause this Agreement or a payment, distribution or other benefit hereunder to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A shall have no force or effect and, to the extent an amendment would be effective for purposes of Section 409A, the parties agree that this Agreement shall be amended to comply with Section 409A. Such amendment shall be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A. For purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall not be deemed to have terminated employment unless and until a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) has occurred. Each payment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, |
the requirement that (i) any reimbursement shall be for expenses incurred during the time period specified in this Agreement, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made not later than the last day of Employees taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. | |||
(c) | Excise Taxes. If any payments or benefits paid or provided or to be paid or provided to Employee or for Employees benefit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, employment with Company or its subsidiaries or the termination thereof (a Payment and, collectively, the Payments) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the Excise Tax), then Employee may elect for such Payments to be reduced to one dollar less than the amount that would constitute a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code (the Scaled Back Amount). Any such election must be in writing and delivered to Company within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination. If Employee does not elect to have Payments reduced to the Scaled Back Amount, Employee shall be responsible for payment of any Excise Tax resulting from the Payments and Employee shall not be entitled to a gross-up payment under this Agreement or any other for such Excise Tax. If the Payments are to be reduced, they shall be reduced in the following order of priority: (i) first from cash compensation, (ii) next from equity compensation, then (iii) pro-rated among all remaining payments and benefits. To the extent there is a question as to which Payments within any of the foregoing categories are to be reduced first, the Payments that will produce the greatest present value reduction in the Payments with the least reduction in economic value provided to Employee shall be reduced first. |
