The PAO Agreement provides that in the event that Mr. Robbins' employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the PAO Agreement) or by Mr. Robbins for Good Reason (as defined in the PAO Agreement), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, Mr. Robbins will be entitled to: (i) base salary continuation for a period of six months (the "Severance Period"), plus any incentive compensation earned with respect to any completed calendar year but unpaid as of the date of termination, and (ii) acceleration of stock options and other stock-based awards held by Mr. Robbins that are subject to time-based vesting such that as of the date of termination, Mr. Robbins will be deemed vested in the same number of shares as would have been vested if he had remained employed through the end of the Severance Period.
In lieu of the foregoing payments and benefits, in the event that Mr. Robbins' employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Robbins for Good Reason, in either case within 12 months following a Change in Control (as defined in the PAO Agreement) subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, Mr. Robbins will be entitled to: (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to 0.75 times the sum of (A) Mr. Robbins' then-current base salary (or base salary in effect prior to the Good Reason trigger, if applicable, or the Change in Control, if higher) and (B) Mr. Robbins' Target Bonus for the then-current year, and (ii) except as otherwise provided in the applicable stock option or other-stock based award agreement, accelerated vesting of 100% of all stock options and other stock-based awards held by Mr. Robbins that are subject to time-based vesting.
On May 11, 2018, the Company granted Mr. Robbins an option to purchase 32,500 shares of the Company's common stock under the Plan in connection with his appointment as Principal Accounting Officer, which option will vest as follows: 25% of the shares subject to the option shall vest on May 11, 2019, and 1/48th of the shares subject to the option shall vest monthly thereafter, provided Mr. Robbins remains a Service Provider (as defined in the Plan) on all such vesting dates.
Mr. Robbins will enter into the Company's standard form of indemnification agreement.
Mr. Robbins is not a party to any transaction with the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, and there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Robbins and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as Principal Accounting Officer.
