ROLLOVER BONUS AGREEMENT
Exhibit
(d)(9)
THIS ROLLOVER BONUS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated March 10, 2011, is entered into by and
between RC2 Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxx X. Xxxxxx (the
“Employee”) and Tomy Company, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Japan (“Purchaser”).
This Agreement shall be effective as of the date the Offer is consummated (the “Commencement
Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed
to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below). Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts
herein are in United States currency.
WHEREAS, The Employee and the RC2 Australia Pty Ltd., and Australian corporation which is a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Australian Subsidiary”), are currently parties to an
Employment Agreement, dated July 1, 2009 (collectively, the “Employment Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, Purchaser and Galaxy Dream Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Purchaser, expect to enter into an AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (the “Merger
Agreement”) with the Company whereby it is proposed that (i) MergerSub make a cash tender offer
(the “Offer”) to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and (ii) following
the consummation of the Offer, MergerSub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company
being the surviving corporation; and
WHEREAS, as a stockholder of the Company and as an owner of options and stock appreciation
rights (cash-settled and stock-settled), in each case covering common stock of the Company
(collectively, “Company Equity Awards”), the Employee will receive valuable consideration as a
direct result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Sale Consideration”).
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Company and the Employee, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Rollover Bonus.
(a) On the Commencement Date, the Employee shall be entitled to a cash bonus
(the “Rollover Bonus”) in an amount equal to $150,000, as set forth under “Total
Rollover Bonus” on Schedule A which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. The
Rollover Bonus represents the spread cash value of certain Company Equity Awards
that (a) have not vested as of immediately prior
to the consummation of the Offer and (b) the vesting of which, but for this
Section 1(a), otherwise would have been accelerated and cash payment made therefor
in the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Unvested Company Equity
Awards”). In exchange for such Rollover Bonus, the Employee hereby waives the
acceleration of vesting with respect to the Unvested Company Equity Awards, and
agrees to cancel such awards in full as of the Commencement Date, and the Employee
hereby agrees that such awards shall have no further force and effect on and after
the Commencement Date. Purchaser shall cause or cause to be delivered by wire
transfer the amounts constituting the Rollover Bonus to an interest-bearing escrow
account established at Xxxxxx Bank in Chicago, Illinois. Subject to the Employee’s
continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting dates, the Rollover
Bonus shall vest as to twenty percent (20%), thirty-five percent (35%), and
forty-five percent (45%) on the eve of each of the first, second, and third
anniversaries of the Commencement Date, respectively. The vested portion of the
Rollover Bonus and any interest thereon shall be paid to the Employee within ten
(10) days following the applicable vesting date. For the avoidance of doubt, at the
Effective Time, each of the Employee’s Company Equity Awards that have not vested as
of immediately prior to the consummation of the Offer and that do not get canceled
in exchange for the Rollover Bonus described in this Section 1(a), shall, at the
Effective Time, be cancelled in full and the Employee shall be entitled to receive a
cash payment therefor as provided in the Merger Agreement (such cash payment is set
forth under “Cash at Closing” on Schedule A attached hereto).
(b) In the event of a Purchaser Change of Control or a Company Change of
Control, the Employee shall be entitled to immediate vesting of the then unvested
portion of the Rollover Bonus and payment therefor and any interest thereon, payable
within thirty (30) days following the Purchaser Change of Control or Company Change
of Control, as applicable.
(c) In the event that it shall be finally determined by the Internal Revenue
Service or the Australian Tax Office that all or any portion of the Rollover Bonus
is subject to the additional tax imposed by Section 409A of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or a comparable provision under the
income tax laws of Australia, or any interest or penalties incurred by Employee with
respect to such additional tax (such additional tax, together with any such interest
and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Additional Tax”),
then the Company agrees that it shall reimburse the Employee for the amount of the
Additional Tax finally imposed by the Internal Revenue Service or the Australian Tax
Office on the Rollover Bonus (the “Reimbursement Amount”) and the amount, if any,
such that the Employee receives an after-tax amount equal to the Reimbursement
Amount he would have received had no tax under Section 409A or any comparable
provision under the income tax laws of Australia been imposed on him (the
“Additional Amount”). The Reimbursement Amount and the Additional Amount
2
shall be paid within ten (10) days following a final determination by the
Internal Revenue Service or the Australian Tax Office that such Additional Tax is
due. To the extent the Employee receives of a refund of or credit relating to the
Additional Tax for which the Company paid the Reimbursement Amount or relating to
the Additional Amount, such refund or credit shall be for the benefit of the
Company, and the Employee shall pay such amount to the Company within ten (10)
calendar days after receiving the refund or after the relevant tax return is filed
in which the credit is so applied. The Company’s obligation to pay the
Reimbursement Amount and the Additional Amount is subject to the Employee notifying
the Company within thirty (30) calendar days of any written notice of a pending
audit, assessment or other challenge (a “Challenge”) which, if successful, might
result in the Additional Tax. The Company, at its expense, shall have the right to
control the response to, and any proceedings relating to, any Challenge, including
initiating or defending any action and/or appeal relating to such Challenge, with
counsel selected by the Company, in any such case to a final conclusion or
settlement at the discretion of the Company. The Company shall have full control of
such response and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof. The
Company shall keep the Employee reasonably informed regarding the status and
progress of such Challenge. Upon the request of Company, the Employee shall
cooperate fully with the Company and its counsel in contesting any Challenge which
the Company elects to contest. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for all
costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that the Employee reasonably incurs
in connection with any such cooperation, provided that the Employee shall submit
appropriate documentation of such costs or expenses no later than ninety (90)
calendar days after incurring such costs or expenses. Such reimbursement shall be
made no later than thirty (30) calendar days following submission of appropriate
documentation of such costs or expenses by the Employee, and in no event later than
the end of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses are
incurred.
(d) In the event that the Challenge provides that all or any portion of the
Rollover Bonus that has not then vested is immediately includible in income as a
result of the failure to comply with Section 409A of the Code or a comparable
provision under the income tax laws of Australia, the Company shall immediately
accelerate the vesting of solely that portion of the Rollover Bonus necessary to pay
such income taxes arising as a result of Section 409A or such comparable provision
under the income tax laws of Australia of the Code (“Tax Payment Amount”). The Tax
Payment Amount shall equal the aggregate of the federal, state, local or foreign tax
amounts due as a result of the application of Section 409A of the Code or the
comparable provision under the income tax laws of Australia and in no event shall
exceed the amount that is required to be included in income as a result of such
failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or the
comparable provision under the income tax laws of Australia. Such Tax Payment
Amount shall be paid to the Employee within ten (10) days of the Employee notifying
the Company of such Challenge and in no event later than the last day of the
Employee’s taxable year following the year in
3
which the Employee remits the underlying taxes to the applicable tax
authorities.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event it
shall be determined that any benefit, payment or distribution by the Company to or
for the benefit of the Employee (whether payable or distributable pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (such benefits, payments or distributions are
hereinafter referred to as “Payments”) would, if paid, be subject to an excise tax
(the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or a comparable provision
under the income tax laws of Australia, then, prior to the making of any Payment to
the Employee, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the net benefit to the
Employee of the Payment after payment of the Excise Tax, to (ii) the net benefit to
the Employee if the Payment had been limited to the extent necessary to avoid being
subject to the Excise Tax, if applicable. If the amount calculated under (i) above
is less than the amount calculated under (ii) above, then the Payment shall be
limited to an amount expressed in present value that maximizes the aggregate present
value of the Payments without causing the Payments or any part thereof to be subject
to the Excise Tax and therefore nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G
of the Code (the “Reduced Amount”). For purposes of this Section 1(e), present
value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code or
comparable provision under the income tax laws of Australia. In the event it is
necessary to reduce the Payments, payments shall be reduced on a last to be paid,
first reduced basis. All determinations required to be made under this Section
1(e), including whether an Excise Tax would otherwise be imposed, whether the
Payments shall be reduced, the amount of the Reduced Amount, and the assumptions to
be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by an internationally
recognized accounting firm (the “Determination Firm”) which shall provide detailed
supporting calculations both to the Company and the Employee within fifteen (15)
business days of the receipt of notice from the Employee that a Payment is due to be
made, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of
the Determination Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by
the Determination Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee. As a
result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code or a
comparable provision under the income tax laws of Australia at the time of the
initial determination by the Determination Firm hereunder, it is possible that
Payments hereunder will have been unnecessarily limited by this Section 1(e)
(“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder.
The Determination Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has
occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for
the benefit of the Employee together with interest at the applicable Federal rate
provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code or comparable provision in the income
tax laws of Australia. In the event that the provisions of Code Section 280G and
4999 or the comparable provisions under the income tax laws of Australia (and any
successor provisions thereof) are repealed without succession, this Section 1(e)
shall be of no further force or effect.

2. Termination.
(a) Termination for Disability or Death.
(i) In the event of Employee’s employment with the Australian Subsidiary and
its Affiliates (the “Group Companies”) is terminated by reason of Disability prior
to the third anniversary of the Commencement Date, subject to the Employee’s
execution and non-revocation of a Release pursuant to Section 4 herein, the then
unvested portion of the Rollover Bonus shall immediately become vested and payment
therefore and any interest thereon (the “Rollover Acceleration Payment”), shall be
paid by the Company to the Employee on the first regular payroll date to occur on or
after the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination of
employment (the “First Payment Date”).
(ii) In the event of Employee’s termination of employment with the Group
Companies as a result of the Employee’s death prior to the third anniversary of the
Commencement Date, Employee’s designated beneficiary or his estate shall be paid the
Rollover Acceleration Payment by the Company within thirty (30) days following the
termination date.
(b) Termination by the Company without Cause or by the Employee for Good
Reason. If prior to the third anniversary of the Commencement Date, the
Employee’s employment with the Group Companies is (A) terminated for any reason
other than for Cause, Disability or death, (B) is terminated for what the Australian
Subsidiary or its Affiliate, as the case may be, (acting in good faith) reasonably
believes is Cause or Disability, and it is ultimately determined that the
termination was without Cause or Disability, or (C) the Employee resigns for Good
Reason, the Employee shall be paid by the Company, subject to the Employee’s
execution and non-revocation of a Release pursuant to Section 4 herein, the Rollover
Acceleration Payment, payable upon the First Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Employee may only resign for Good Reason pursuant to this
Section 2(b) provided that the Employee has given written notice within thirty (30)
days of the occurrence of any of the events in Section 4(e) and such event remains
uncured by the Group Companies thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice.
(c) Termination by for Cause or Without Good Reason. If the Employee’s
employment with the Group Companies is terminated with Cause or as a result of the
Employee’s resignation without Good Reason, any then unvested portion of the
Rollover Bonus and any interest thereon shall be immediately forfeited and the
Employee shall have no rights to any forfeited amounts or any additional payments
hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may only
terminate the Employment Period for Cause pursuant to
5
this Section 2(c) provided that the Company has given written notice to the
Employee of the occurrence of any events constituting Cause within ninety (90) days
of the occurrence of any such events and the Employee fails to cure such events
within thirty (30) days after the Employee’s receipt of such notice.

determine the location where the Employee is “principally employed.” The Employee

Employment Agreement as compared to the Employee’s duties on or prior to the
Commencement Date shall not constitute Good Reason.

termination or resignation and not subsequently revoking such Release.
5. Waiver. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances,
