to
THIS
AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) effective as of March 31,
2008, by and between Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx (“Executive”) and Sun Healthcare Group,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sun”);
WHEREAS,
Sun and Executive entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of October 12,
2006, and amended such Employment Agreement effective as of October 31, 2007 (as
so amended, the “Employment Agreement”), and they desire to amend the Employment
Agreement with respect to the terms and conditions of Executive’s bonus
eligibility, as set forth below (capitalized terms used in this Agreement
without definition shall have the meanings provided in the Employment
Agreement).
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual covenants and
agreements contained herein, Executive and Sun agree as follows:
1. Amendment.
(a) Section 3(b) of the Agreement is amended by deleting it in its entirety and
inserting the following in lieu thereof:
|
|
(b) Cash
Bonus/Incentive Compensation. In addition to the Base Salary
provided for in Section 3(a) above, Executive shall be entitled to receive
an annual incentive bonus (“Bonus”) in accordance with the Sun Healthcare
Group, Inc. Executive Bonus Plan, as it may be amended from time to time
by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors; provided,
however, that no amendment shall be effective if it reduces
the percentage of Base Salary that would constitute the
minimum or maximum potential amount of the Bonus as compared to the
prior year, unless such amendment has been agreed to in writing by
Executive.
The Bonus shall be payable at the same time as other annual bonuses are
paid to senior management personnel. Subject to the provisions
of Section 6, in order to have earned and to be paid any such Bonus,
Executive must be employed by Sun on the date of such payment. It is
intended that the Bonus described in this Section 3(b) qualify as
"performance based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code to the
extent necessary to preserve Sun’s ability to deduct such
Bonus.

time.
