Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On February 1, 2007, Duke Realty Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the Company), entered into a Letter Agreement regarding executive severance (the Agreement) with Samuel J. OBriant and Kevin O. Rogus.
Under the terms set forth in the Agreement, each executive officer who voluntarily terminates his employment will be entitled to separation payments totaling an amount equal to such officers annual base pay in effect on the last day of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the executive officers employment is terminated. If the Company terminates the executive officers employment for cause (as defined in the Agreement), the executive officer will be entitled to separation payments totaling ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00). If the Company terminates the executive officers employment for any reason other than for cause, and there has been no change of control (as defined in the Agreement), the executive officers termination will be considered a separation for other than cause. In the event the Company terminates the executive officers employment for other than cause, the executive officer will be entitled to receive separation payments totaling an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of (i) his annual base pay in effect on the last day of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which his employment is terminated, plus (ii) any annual cash incentive bonus paid or payable with respect to services performed during that year. If the Company terminates the executive officers employment within one (1) year of a change in control of the Company, or if the executive officer terminates his employment by the Company voluntarily for good reason, the exective officer will be entitled to receive separation payments totaling an amount equal to three (3) times the sum of (i) the executive officers annual base pay in effect on the last day of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the executive officers employment is terminated, plus (ii) any annual cash incentive bonus paid or payable with respect to services performed during that year. The foregoing description of the terms of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the Form of Letter Agreement Regarding Executive Severance which is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on December 19, 2005.
