AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made by and between
AVON PRODUCTS, INC., a New York corporation (the
“Corporation”), and ANDREA JUNG (the
“Executive”), dated as of this 5th day of December,
2008 (the “Effective Date”).
W I T N E S S E T
H :
WHEREAS, the Executive is employed
by the Corporation pursuant to an employment agreement dated as of
December 11, 1997 (the “Existing Agreement”);
and
WHEREAS, in order to comply with
Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), the
parties hereto wish to amend and supersede the Existing Agreement
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, and other good
and valuable consideration, the Corporation and the Executive do
hereby agree as follows:
1. Employment . The
Corporation shall continue to employ the Executive and the
Executive agrees to continue to serve as an executive of the
Corporation, in such capacities and upon such conditions as are
hereinafter set forth.
2. Term . The Executive shall
be considered an at-will employee and her employment may be
terminated by either party subject to the obligations of the
parties upon such termination as may be set forth
hereinafter.
3. Position and Duties
.
(a) Position . The Executive
shall continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer.
(b) Business Time . The
Executive agrees to devote her full business time during normal
business hours to the business and affairs of the Corporation and
to use her best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently the
responsibilities assigned to her hereunder, to the extent necessary
to discharge such responsibilities. The Executive’s
continuing to serve on any boards and committees on which she is
serving or with which she is otherwise associated immediately
preceding the Effective Date, or her service on any other boards
and committees of which the Corporation has knowledge and does not
object, in writing, within thirty (30) days after first
becoming aware of such service, shall not be deemed to interfere
with the performance of the Executive’s services to the
Corporation.
4. Compensation . The
Executive shall be entitled to the following compensation for as
long as the Executive remains an employee of the
Corporation:
(a) Base Salary . The
Executive shall receive a base salary (the “Base
Salary”) payable in equal bi-weekly installments at an annual
rate of $1,375,000, which was the Base
Salary in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Date. The Corporation shall review the Base Salary
periodically and in light of such review may increase (but not
decrease) the Base Salary taking into account any change in the
Executive’s responsibilities, increases in compensation of
other senior executives of the Corporation, performance of the
Executive and other pertinent factors, and such adjusted Base
Salary shall then constitute the “Base Salary” for
purposes of this Agreement. Neither the Base Salary nor any
increase in Base Salary after the date hereof shall serve to limit
or reduce any other obligation of the Corporation
hereunder.
(b) Annual Bonus .
(i) In General . For each
fiscal year of the Corporation during which she is employed by the
Corporation the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual
bonus (“Annual Bonus”) under the Corporation’s
Executive Incentive Plan or successor annual incentive award plan.
Such Annual Bonus shall be determined on the basis of an annual
target bonus opportunity of at least sixty percent (60%) of
the Base Salary paid the Executive with respect to such fiscal
year, which annual target bonus opportunity may be increased but
not decreased except for annual reductions of up to ten percent
(10%) that apply to all officers of the Corporation. Each
Annual Bonus (or portion thereof) shall be paid in cash in
accordance with the Corporation’s Executive Incentive Plan or
successor plan in the year next following the year for which the
Annual Bonus (or prorated portion) is earned or awarded, unless
electively deferred by the Executive pursuant to any deferral
programs or arrangements that the Corporation may make available to
the Executive.
(ii) Change of Control .
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Annual Bonus awarded to the
Executive for each fiscal year of the Corporation ending during the
period commencing on the Change of Control Date and ending on the
third anniversary thereof or during the pendency of a Potential
Change of Control shall not be less than the largest bonus earned
by or awarded to the Executive for any of the three fiscal years of
the Corporation ending before such Potential Change of Control or
Change of Control Date, as applicable, or for the fiscal year in
which such Potential Change of Control or Change of Control Date
occurs. For a fiscal year of the Corporation that commences but
does not end before the third anniversary of a Change of Control
Date, the Annual Bonus earned by or awarded to the Executive for
that portion of such fiscal year shall not be less than a ratable
portion (based on the total days elapsed in that fiscal year) of
the Annual Bonus that would have been payable to the Executive had
that entire fiscal year ended before the third anniversary of a
Change of Control Date.
(c) Incentive and Savings Plans;
Retirement and Death Benefit Programs . The Executive shall be
entitled to participate in all incentive and savings plans and
programs, including stock option plans and other equity-based
compensation plans, and in all employee retirement, executive
retirement and executive death benefit plans (including the SERP
and SLIP) on a basis no less favorable than that basis generally
available to other senior executives of the Corporation who become
an elected or appointed officer of the Corporation on or after the
date on which the Executive first became an elected or appointed
officer of the Corporation. As of the Effective Date, the Executive
is entitled to a death benefit under the SLIP of $750,000.
As
2
of the Effective Date, the Executive will have
accumulated fourteen (14) years of Creditable Service under
the SERP.
(d) Other Benefit Plans . The
Executive, her spouse and their eligible dependents (as defined in,
and to the extent permitted by, the applicable plan), as the case
may be, shall be entitled to participate in or be covered under all
medical, dental, disability, group life, accidental death, and
travel accident insurance plans and programs of the Corporation at
the most favorable level of participation and providing the highest
levels of benefits generally available under such plans and
programs.
(e) Other Perquisites . The
Executive shall also be entitled to:
(i) prompt reimbursement for all
reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with
the policies and procedures of the Corporation providing the
highest level of reimbursement on the least restrictive basis
available under such policies and procedures;
(ii) paid vacation and fringe
benefits in accordance with the most favorable policies of the
Corporation; and
(iii) all forms of perquisite
benefits made available to senior officers of the
Corporation.
(f) Effect of Change of Control
on Benefit Plans and Other Perquisites . Without limiting the
generality of Sections 4(c), 4(d) and 4(e) hereof, during the
pendency of a Potential Change of Control or during the period
commencing on a Change of Control Date and ending on the third
anniversary thereof, the benefits provided for in such Sections may
not be diminished from the highest level previously provided or
available to the Executive immediately prior to the Potential
Change of Control or within the ninety-day period prior to the
Change of Control Date, as applicable.
5. Termination .
(a) Disability . The
Corporation may terminate the Executive’s employment after
having established the Executive’s Disability, by giving to
the Executive written notice of its intention to terminate her
employment, and her employment with the Corporation shall terminate
effective on the 90th day after receipt of such notice if the
Executive shall fail to return to full-time performance of her
duties within ninety (90) days after such receipt.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, as a result of an
absence because of mental or physical incapacity, the Executive
incurs an earlier “separation from service” within the
meaning of Section 409A, the Executive shall on such date
automatically be terminated from employment as a Disability
termination under this Section 5(a).
(b) Voluntary Termination by
Executive . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Executive may, upon not less than thirty
(30) days’ written notice to the Corporation,
voluntarily terminate employment for any reason (including
retirement under the terms of the PRA as in effect from time to
time), provided that any termination by the
3
Executive pursuant to Section 5(d) on
account of Constructive Termination shall not be treated as a
voluntary termination under this Section 5(b).
(c) Termination by the
Corporation . The Corporation at any time may terminate the
Executive’s employment for Cause or without Cause.
(d) Constructive Termination
. The Executive at any time may terminate her employment for
Constructive Termination.
(e) Notice of Termination .
Any termination by the Corporation for Cause or by the Executive
for Constructive Termination shall be communicated by Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with
Section 14(c). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice
of Termination” means a written notice given, in the case of
a termination for Cause, within sixty (60) days of the
presiding or lead director of the Board or the Chairman of the
Audit Committee of the Board having actual knowledge of the event
and sufficient details of the event and the impact thereof to know
that such event could reasonably be the basis for a termination of
the Executive for Cause under this Agreement, and in the case of a
termination for Constructive Termination, within sixty
(60) days of the Executive’s having actual knowledge of
the events giving rise to such termination, and which
(i) indicates the specific termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail
the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision
so indicated, and (iii) if the termination date is other than
the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date
(which date shall be not more than fifteen (15) days after the
giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive to set forth
in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which
contributes to a showing of Constructive Termination shall not
waive any right of the Executive hereunder or preclude the
Executive from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing her
rights hereunder.
(f) Date of Termination . For
the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Date of
Termination” means (i) in the case of a termination for
which a Notice of Termination is required, the date of receipt of
such Notice of Termination or, if later, the date specified
therein, as the case may be and (ii) in all other cases, the
actual date on which the Executive’s employment terminates. A
termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for
purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the
payment of any amounts or benefits subject to Section 409A
upon or following a termination of employment unless such
termination is also a “separation from service” within
the meaning of Section 409A, and for purposes of any such
provision of this Agreement, references to a
“resignation,” “termination,”
“terminate,” “termination of employment” or
like terms shall mean separation from service.
6. Obligations of the Corporation
Upon Termination . Upon termination of the Executive’s
employment with the Corporation, the Corporation shall have the
following obligations:
(a) Death and Retirement . If
the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the
Executive’s death or on or after the attainment of age
sixty-five (65), the Executive’s employment shall terminate
without further obligations to the Executive’s legal
representatives under this Agreement other than payment of the
Accrued Obligations. Unless
4
otherwise required by applicable law, all
Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive, her
beneficiaries or her estate, as applicable. In the event of the
retirement of the Executive, she and her family shall be entitled

the Executive’s death, her family shall be entitled to
receive benefits generally available to the surviving families of
other senior executives of the Corporation.

by (2) the number of months in the Section 6(b)
Continuation Period;
provided that (I) any such
benefit provided by the Corporation in any year will not be
affected by the amount of any such benefit provided by the

limitations under the terms of the applicable health plan, and (II)
under no circumstances will the Executive be permitted to liquidate
or exchange any such benefit for cash or any other benefit.
Further, to the extent any of the above benefits are subject to
Section 409A, the provision of such benefit will be subject to

or the third anniversary of the Change of Control Date, but in no
event will such period be less than 24 months.

Corporation for Cause and Voluntary Termination by Executive .
If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause

(2) during the Section 6(e)

For purposes of this
Section 6(e), the “Section 6(e) Continuation
Period” is the 24-month period immediately following the Date
of Termination or, if greater, the period beginning immediately
following the Date of Termination and continuing until the third
anniversary of the Change of Control Date.
(D) Additional Retirement
Benefits . The Corporation shall pay to the Executive a cash
amount equal to the present value, calculated for the retiree
medical and life benefits under FASB Statement No. 106, and
calculated for the additional retirement benefits under the SERP
using the actuarial assumptions set forth in the PRA, of the
difference between:
(1) the present value of the
retirement benefits (including, without limitation, any pension,
retiree life, or retiree medical benefits) that would have been
payable or available to the Executive under the PRA, under the SERP
(as set forth in Section 6(g) below), and under any other
supplemental retirement, life (other than the SLIP) or medical plan
or arrangement, whether or not qualified, maintained by the
Corporation or an Affiliated Company based on the age and service
the Executive would have attained or completed had the Executive
continued in the Corporation’s employ until the earlier of
the expiration of the third anniversary of the Change of Control
Date or the Executive’s 65th birthday, determined using,
where compensation is a relevant factor, her pensionable
compensation at the Date of Termination (or, if greater, at the
rate in effect on the date on which occurred an event giving rise
to a Constructive Termination), with such present value being
calculated using the assumptions noted above; and
(2) the present value of the
retirement benefits (including, without limitation, any pension,
retiree life, or retiree medical
10
benefits) that are payable or
available to the Executive under the PRA, under the SERP (as set
forth in Section 6(g) below), and under any other supplemental
retirement, life (other than the SLIP) or medical plan or
arrangement, whether or not qualified, maintained by the
Corporation or an Affiliated Company based on the age and service
the Executive has attained or completed as of the Executive’s
Date of Termination determined using, where compensation is a
relevant factor, her pensionable compensation at the Date of
Termination (or, if greater, at the rate in effect on the date on
which occurred an event giving rise to a Constructive Termination),
with such present value being calculated using the assumptions
noted above.
The incremental retirement benefits
which would have become payable under such plans include, without
limitation, the additional benefits attributable to such additional
service which would have been rendered during such period and the
benefits which would have vested under such plans as a result of
such service, but which were otherwise forfeited.
The amount payable under this
Section 6(e)(D) shall be paid to the Executive at the same
times and in the same form that her Supplemental Retirement
Allowance under the SERP is paid to her, including, without
limitation, pursuant to Section 6(g) below (including the
provision for interest accrual between the Date of Termination and
the SERP Payment Month) and Section 6.2(b) of the
SERP.
(f) Other Termination of
Employment Occurring During Pendency of Potential Change of
Control . If the Corporation (i) terminates the
Executive’s employment other than for Cause or Disability, or
the Executive terminates her employment for Constructive
Termination and (ii) the Date of Termination occurs during the
pendency of a Potential Change of Control, the Executive shall be
entitled to the payments and benefits set forth in
Section 6(d) hereof. In addition, in the event that a Change
of Control occurs before the expiration of the pendency of the
Potential Change of Control during which the Date of Termination
occurred, the Executive shall also be entitled to such additional
cash payments as would have been made under Section 6(e)
hereof as if the Date of Termination had occurred immediately on
the Change of Control Date, in excess of the amount of the cash
payment made or to be made to the Executive under Section 6(d)
hereof, but only if the Change of Control satisfies the definition
of “change in control event” set forth in Final
Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(i)(5). Any such additional
cash payment will be made upon the later of (I) the day after
the six-month anniversary of the Date of Termination and
(II) the Change of Control Date (the “Section 6(f)
Payment Date”). In addition, in the event that a Change of
Control occurs during the pendency of the Potential Change of
Control during which the Date of Termination occurred and such
Change of Control satisfies the definition of “change in
control event” set forth in Final Treasury Regulation
§ 1.409A-3(i)(5), the Executive shall also be entitled to
(w) continued treatment of the medical and dental benefit for
the Section 6(e) Continuation Period in lieu of such continued
treatment for the Section 6(d) Continuation Period, (x) a
payment on the Section 6(f) Payment Date equal to the excess
of the amount of the payment under Section 6(e)(C)(1) over the
amount of the payment under Section 6(d)(C)(1),
(y) continued group life and accidental death insurance
