Change of Control Agreements
Effective January 19, 2010, TiVo Inc. (the Corporation) entered into amended and restated Change of Control Agreements (the Agreements) with its Senior Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents. Under the amended and restated Agreements, Senior Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents are entitled to receive 150% and 100%, respectively, of their annual salary and targeted bonus if they are terminated by the Corporation without cause or resign for good reason within 13 months following a change in control of the Corporation. Further, the unvested portion of any option to purchase the Corporations capital stock then held will immediately vest and/or the restrictions with respect to restricted shares or other equity awards of the Corporations capital stock will fully lapse in connection with any such termination or resignation. Equity awards contingent upon the attainment of one or more performance goals will become vested and/or restrictions will lapse with respect to shares of the Corporations capital stock that otherwise would have become vested during the year of termination as if the performance goals with respect to such year (or prior periods) had been obtained. Additionally, medical benefits for Senior Vice Presidents will continue for 18 months and medical benefits for Vice Presidents will continue for 12 months following such a termination or resignation. The terms of the amended and restated Agreements are otherwise materially consistent with the Corporations prior change of control agreements. The foregoing description of the amended and restated Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of those agreements, which will be filed as exhibits with the Corporations annual report on Form 10-K for the period ending January 31, 2010.
