No. 2 to Employment Agreement
Amendment
Number 2 to the Employment Agreement dated as of December 21, 2004 (the
“Agreement”) by and between Active Health Management Inc. (“Company”), a
Delaware corporation and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, M.D. (“Executive”).
WHEREAS, the Company and
Executive have previously entered into the Agreement;
WHEREAS, Executive Aetna Inc.,
a Pennsylvania Corporation (“Aetna”) and the Company have entered into amendment
to the Agreement dated May 12, 2005;
WHEREAS, Aetna and Executive
wish to further amend the Agreement to comply with Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations issued thereunder (“Section
409A”);
NOW, THEREFORE, the Agreement
is hereby amended effective December 31, 2008, as follows:
1. New
Paragraph 24 is added as follows:
“24. 409A
Compliance.
When used
in connection with any payments subject to Section 409A required to be made
hereunder, the phrase “termination of employment” and correlative terms shall
mean separation from service as defined in Section 409A. In
addition, to the extent any payment payable hereunder constitutes “deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and is payable or commences to
be payable hereunder upon and solely by reason of Executive’s termination of
employment, such payment shall commence or be payable as soon as, but not later
than, the date Executive experiences a “Separation from Service”, subject to
Paragraph 7(b).
Nothing
in this Agreement shall require the Company to, and the Company shall not,
accelerate the payment of any amount that constitutes “deferred compensation”
within the meaning of Section 409A, except to the extent permitted under Section
409A.
Any
reimbursements or in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be
administered in accordance with Section 409A, such that: (I) the
amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided,
during one year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the
in-kind benefits provided in any other year; (II) reimbursement of eligible
expenses shall be made on or before December 31 of the year following the year
in which the expense was incurred; and
(III) the
Executive’s right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to
liquidation or to exchange for another benefit.
For
purposes of Section 409A, Executive’s right to receive any installment payments
pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of
separate and distinct payments.
To the
extent Executive is a “Specified Employee” as defined in Section 409A at the
time of separation from service, then notwithstanding any provision of any plan
or this Agreement, to the extent required by Section 409A, any payment of
deferred compensation otherwise payable to Executive hereunder as a result of
such separation from service shall be deferred and accumulated for a period of
six months and paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month (or, if
earlier, Executive’s death)”
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
undersigned has caused this Amendment to be executed this 31st day of December,
2008
