Exhibit 10.1
RETIREMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) is entered into on June 27, 2008,
effective as of June 30, 2008 (the “Retirement
Date”), among First National Bank of Pennsylvania (the
“Employer”), F.N.B. Corporation (“F.N.B.
Corporation”) and Gary J. Roberts (the
“Executive”).
WHEREAS, the Employer, F.N.B.
Corporation and the Executive entered into an Employment Agreement
effective as of October 18, 2007 (the “Employment
Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Employer, F.N.B.
Corporation and the Executive now consider it desirable to agree to
the terms and conditions of the Executive’s retirement from
the Company;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the premises and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement,
the Employer, F.N.B. Corporation and the Executive, intending to be
legally bound hereby, mutually agree as follows:
1. Retirement . On the
Retirement Date, this Agreement shall supersede and replace the
Employment Agreement. The Executive’s employment shall
terminate on the Retirement Date. The Executive shall deliver to
the Board of Directors of the Employer (the “Board”),
his resignation from all offices, directorships and positions with
the Employer, F.N.B. Corporation and their affiliates, and shall be
deemed to have resigned from all offices and fiduciary positions
with any employee benefit plans, on the Retirement Date.
2. Release . After the
Retirement Date, and as a condition to receiving any payment,
coverage or benefit provided in this Agreement, the Executive shall
execute, deliver to the Employer and not revoke the Agreement and
General Release attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement (the
“Release Agreement”).
3. Retirement Payments .
The Employer shall pay or provide to the Executive, promptly after
the Release Agreement becomes effective, the severance benefits
described in paragraphs (a) through (j) below, subject to
paragraph (k) below:
(a) The
Employer shall allow the Executive to continue participation for
himself and his eligible dependants under the Employer’s
group health plan on the same terms as applicable to active
employees at no expense to the Executive for a period equal to the
lesser of (i) eighteen (18) months, or (ii) the
period from the Retirement Date through the date the Executive
first becomes eligible for coverage under any group health plan of
another employer; and provided further that participation for any
eligible dependent shall cease upon such dependent becoming
eligible for coverage under any group plan of another employer. To
the extent these payments are subject to Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
then such expenses must be incurred before the last day of the
second taxable year following the taxable year in which the
Retirement Date occurred, provided that
any
reimbursement for such expenses be paid before the
Executive’s third taxable year following the taxable year in
which the Retirement Date occurred.
(b) Executive
shall be entitled to participate in Employer’s retiree health
plan at Employee’s expense after Employee’s coverage
under Section 3(a) concludes.
(c) The
Employer shall continue to pay the Executive through
December 31, 2009, the Executive’s Base Salary (as
defined in the Employment Agreement) as of the Retirement Date, in
accordance with the Employer’s generally applicable payroll
policies.
(d) The
Employer shall pay the Executive a single lump sum amount equal to
$91,884.00 in lieu of annual bonus for 2008, by the later of
July 15, 2008, or five days following the date on which the
Release Agreement becomes effective.
(e) The
Employer shall pay to the Executive, by the later of July 15,
2008, or five days following the date on which the Release
Agreement becomes effective, or the next regular scheduled payroll,
an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Executive’s Base
Salary accrued through the Retirement Date, (ii) any amounts
payable under any of the employee benefit plans of the Employer or
F.N.B. Corporation in accordance with the terms of such plans, and
(iii) in lieu of any accrued but unpaid vacation in accordance
with the terms of the Employer’s vacation plan, an amount
equal to $38,167.00.
(f) The
Employer shall pay to the Executive by August 31, 2008, any
unreimbursed business expenses incurred by the Executive on the
Employer’s behalf, in accordance with the Employer’s
reimbursement policies.
(g) For
purposes of the Employer’s Basic Retirement Plan, the
Executive shall be treated as if he had continued in active
employment with the Employer through December 31, 2009, at a
Base Salary equal to that in effect as of the Retirement Date, and
as if he had received an annual bonus of $91,884.00 for 2008 and
$91,884.00 for 2009.
(h) The
Executive shall have the opportunity to purchase his
Employer-provided automobile at net book value, as of the
Retirement Date.
(i) The
Executive shall be entitled to vesting of restricted stock awards
in accordance with the applicable plan, the 2001 Incentive Plan or
the 2007 Incentive Plan, and any award agreement.
(j) The
Employer shall pay the Executive his balance in the F.N.B.
Corporation ERISA Excess Lost Match Plan on January 15, 2009,
in accordance with the plan terms.
(k) Each
payment under paragraphs 3(b), (d), (e) or (f) of this
Agreement is intended to be treated as one of a series of separate
payments for purposes of Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg.
§1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) (or any similar or
2
successor provisions). If a payment under paragraphs (b), (d),
(e) or (f) above does not qualify as a short-term
deferral under Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg.
§1.409A-1(b)(4) (or any similar or successor provisions), and
the Executive is a Specified Employee as of the Retirement Date,
distributions to the Executive may not be made before the date that
is six months after the Retirement Date or, if earlier, the date of
the Executive’s death (the “Six-Month Delay
Rule”). Payments to which the Executive would otherwise be
entitled during the first six months following the Retirement Date
(the “Six-Month Delay”) will be accumulated and paid on
the first day of the seventh month following the Retirement Date.
Notwithstanding the Six-Month Delay Rule set forth in this
paragraph 3(k):
(i) To the maximum extent permitted
under Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg.
§1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (or any similar or successor provisions),
during each month of the Six-Month Delay, the Employer will pay the
Executive an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the total monthly
severance provided under paragraph (b), (d) (e) and
(f) above, or (B) one-sixth (1/6) of the lesser of
(1) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a
qualified plan pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) for the
year in which the Retirement Date occurs, and (2) the sum of
the Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual
rate of pay for services provided to the Employer for the taxable
year of the Executive preceding the taxable year of the Executive
in which the Retirement Date occurs (adjusted for any increase
during that year that was expected to continue indefinitely if the
Executive had not had a Retirement Date); provided that amounts
paid under this sentence will count toward, and will not be in
addition to, the total payment amount required to be made to the
Executive by the Employer under paragraphs 3(b), (d), (e) and
(f);
(ii) For purposes of this Agreement,
“Specified Employee” has the meaning given that term in
Code Section 409A and Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(c)(i) (or any
similar or successor provisions). The Employer’s
“specified employee identification date” (as described
in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(c)(i)(3)) will be December 31 of each
year, and the Employer’s “specified employee effective
date” (as described in Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(c)(i)(4) or any
similar or successor provisions) will be February 1 of each
succeeding year.
(l) The
Executive shall not be entitled to severance under any other
employee benefit plan of the Employer or F.N.B. Corporation.
4. Indemnification . The
Executive shall at all times during his employment by the Employer
and thereafter, be indemnified by the Employer and FNB Corporation
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law for any matter in
any way relating to the Executive’s affiliation with the
Employer, F.N.B. Corporation or their affiliates.
5. Confidential
Information . The Executive acknowledges that in the course of
his employment by the Employer the Executive has received
Confidential Information concerning the business of the Employer,
F.N.B. Corporation and their affiliates and that the Employer
desires to protect. The Executive agrees that he will not at any
time
3
during
or after the period of his employment by the Employer, reveal to
anyone outside the Employer, or use for his own benefit, any such
information that has been designated as confidential by the
Employer or understood by the Executive to be confidential, without
specific written authorization by the Board. The Executive shall
take all appropriate steps to safeguard Confidential Information
and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and
theft. As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential
Information” means information that is not generally known to
the public and that is used, developed or obtained by the Employer,
F.N.B. Corporation or their affiliates in connection with their
business, including but not limited to (i) products or services,
(ii) fees, costs and pricing structures, (iii) designs,
(iv) analysis, (v) drawings, photographs and reports,
(vi) computer software, including operating systems,
applications and program listings, (vii) flow charts, manuals
and documentation, (viii) data bases, (ix) accounting and
business methods, (x) inventions, devices, new developments,
methods and processes, whether patentable or unpatentable and
whether or not reduced to practice, (xi) customers and clients and
customer or client lists, (xii) copyrightable works,
(xiv) all technology and trade secrets, (xv) business
plans and financial models, and (xvi) all similar and related
information in whatever form. Upon the Retirement Date, the
Executive shall promptly deliver to the Employer any and all
written materials, records and documents, including all copies
thereof, made by the Executive or coming into his possession during
or after the period of his employment by the Employer and retained
by the Executive containing or concerning confidential information
of the Employer and all other written materials furnished to and
retained by the Executive for his use during employment (other than
written materials that relate or are personal to the Executive),
including all copies thereof, whether of a confidential nature or
otherwise.
