AMENDMENT TO

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

 

This AMENDMENT is made and entered into as of           , 2007, by and between Investment Technology Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and              (the “Executive”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive previously entered into that certain Change in Control Agreement, dated as of                        (the “CIC Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the parties now wish to amend the CIC Agreement to provide that payments due to the Executive under the CIC Agreement upon the Executive’s termination of employment in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the CIC Agreement) will be compliant with the applicable requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties mutually acknowledge and agree that, effective as of the date hereof, the CIC Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

1.              The definition of “Good Reason” in Section 2 is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

Good Reason ” means, without the Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence after a Change in Control of the Company of any one or more of the following:

 

(i)             a material reduction of the Executive’s primary functional authorities, duties, or responsibilities as an executive and/or officer of the Company from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or the assignment of duties to the Executive inconsistent with those of an executive of the Company, other than an insubstantial and inadvertent reduction or assignment that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive; provided , however , that any reduction in authorities, duties or responsibilities resulting merely from the acquisition of the Company and its existence as a subsidiary or division of another entity shall not be sufficient to constitute Good Reason;

 

(ii)            the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based at a location in excess of thirty five (35) miles from the location of the Executive’s principal job location or office immediately prior to the Change in Control;

 

(iii)           a material reduction by the Company of the Executive’s base salary in effect on the date hereof, or as the same shall be increased from time to time, unless such reduction applies on substantially the same percentage basis to all employees of the Company generally;

 



 

(iv)           a material reduction in the Executive’s participation in any of the Company’s annual incentive compensation plans in which the Executive participates prior to the Change in Control, unless such failure applies to all plan participants generally;

 

(v)            the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of the obligations contained in this Agreement by any successor as contemplated in Section 9(c) hereof; and

 

(vi)           a material breach of this Agreement by the Company.

 

provided , however , that for any of the foregoing to constitute Good Reason, the Executive must provide written notification of his intention to resign within 30 days after the Executive knows or has reason to know of the occurrence of any such event, and the Company shall have 30 business days from the date of receipt of such notice to effect a cure of the condition constituting Good Reason, and, upon cure thereof by the Company, such event shall no longer constitute Good Reason.  A termination of employment by the Executive within a Protection Period shall be for Good Reason if one of the occurrences specified above shall have occurred, notwithstanding that the Executive may have other reasons for terminating employment, including employment by another employer which the Executive desires to accept.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, it shall be a material breach of this Agreement by the Company if the Company decreases the Executive’s Target Annual Compensation by more than ten percent (10%).

 

2.              Section 3 is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

3.              Benefits Upon Termination Within Protection Period .  If, within a Protection Period, the Executive’s employment by the Company shall be terminated (a) by the Company not for Cause and not due to the Executive’s death or Disability, or (b) by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided for below:

 

(i)             the Company shall pay to the Executive, through the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, base salary at the rate then in effect, together with base salary in lieu of vacation accrued to the date on which his employment terminates, in accordance with the standard payroll practices of the Company;

 

(ii)            the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount in cash equal to the Executive’s target annual bonus for the year that includes the date of the Executive’s termination of employment, pro rated for the number of full and partial months during the bonus year prior to such termination of employment, and such payment shall be made in a lump sum within 10 business days after the date of such termination of employment;

 

(iii)           the Company shall pay to the Executive an amount in cash equal to            times the sum of (A) the Executive’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of the Executive’s termination of employment or the date of the Change in Control (whichever is higher), and (B) the average of the Executive’s annual bonuses for the three years immediately preceding the Executive’s termination of employment (or such shorter period during which the Executive has been employed by the Company and eligible to

(iv)     the Company shall continue to cover the Executive and his or her dependents under, or provide the Executive and his or her dependents with insurance coverage no less favorable than, the Company’s health, dental and vision plans or programs (as in effect on the day immediately preceding the Protection Period or, at the option of the Executive, on the date of termination of his or her employment) for a period equal to the lesser of (x)          year following the date of termination or (y) until the Executive is provided by another employer with benefits substantially comparable to the benefits provided by such plans or programs.  The Executive shall promptly inform the Company in writing when he or she obtains other employment and shall provide a written description to
