1. The establishment of Mr. Moloney’s annualized base salary at $650,000;

 

2. The establishment of Mr. Moloney’s target award under the Company’s cash-based pay-for-performance annual incentive plan (the “annual incentive plan”) with a target payout at 100% of his Eligible Earnings (as defined under the annual incentive plan);

 

3. A grant of 600,000 restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) under the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan of 2006 (the “Omnibus Plan”), on September 1, 2010, which RSUs will vest in three equal annual installments on September 1, 2011, September 1, 2012 and September 1, 2013, subject to his continued employment;

 

4. A grant of non-qualified stock options (the “Options”) under the Omnibus Plan to acquire 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on September 1, 2010. The exercise price for the Options will be the closing price for a share of the Company’s common stock on September 1, 2010.

6. The grant of a one-time cash sign-on bonus of $325,000 of which $162,500 will be paid within 30 days from Mr. Moloney’s start date and, subject to his continued employment with the Company (or, if applicable, SpinCo), $162,500 will be paid immediately following the six-month anniversary of his start date. Mr. Moloney shall forfeit and repay to the Company (or, if the Separation Event has occurred, SpinCo) any such amounts paid to him if, within 12 months following any such payment, he is terminated for “cause” (as defined under the Company’s Executive Severance Plan) or his employment is terminated on his own initiative for any reason; and

 

7. Prior to the Separation Event, Mr. Moloney will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Executive Severance Plan; and (i) if his employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” before the first anniversary of his employment date, he will be eligible for a total cash severance allowance of 18 months’ base salary plus other benefits that are prescribed under the Company’s Executive Severance Plan (or after the Separation Event, a SpinCo executive severance plan); (ii)  if his employment is
