Items to be Included in this Report
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Time Warner Telecom Inc. entered into a new employment contract with Robert W. Gaskins, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy, effective April 20, 2005 for a term ending April 19, 2008, unless renewed. The minimum annual salary under the contract for Mr. Gaskins is $190,000.20 per year with a 75% target bonus. The actual bonus may range from 0% to 150% of the target amount depending on the executive's and the Company's actual performance.The agreement includes a narrow definition of the term "cause." If the contract is terminated for cause, the executive will only receive earned and unpaid base salary accrued through such date of termination. This agreement provides that if the Company terminates the executive's employment during the term without cause, the executive may elect either:
(a) to receive a lump sum payment of the present value of the base salary and annual bonus otherwise payable during the remaining term of employment, but not less than the sum of the salary and bonus pro-rated for an 18 month period; or
(b) to remain an employee for up to 18 months and, without performing any services, receive the base salary and annual bonus otherwise payable, plus a lump sum payment at the end of the 18 month period of the discounted present value of the base salary and target bonus that would have been payable for the balance of the employment term, if any.
The executive has the same two options if a change of control occurs together with a reduction of responsibilities, a move of office location of more than 50 miles or a breach by the Company.
