Severance Agreements
ProAssurance Corporation, Holdings and MEEMIC have severance agreements with Mr. Kalinowski, Ms. Schmitt and Mr. Sabados that provide a severance payment and other benefits in the event of termination of employment under certain circumstances. The term of the agreements extends for two years from June 27, 2001 (the initial term) and automatically renews for successive terms of one year (a renewal term) unless terminated by any of the companies at least six months prior to expiration of any renewal term. The amount of the severance payment is equal to two times (if terminated during the initial term) and one times (if terminated during a renewal term) the executive's base salary plus the average annual incentive awards or bonuses over the three years prior to termination. The severance payment will be paid into escrow at the time of termination and paid monthly over two years (if termination is during the initial period) or one year (if termination occurs during a renewal period). The employee is also entitled to health benefits for up to 18 months, outplacement services and certain other fringe benefits. The employee will not be entitled to benefits under the agreement if termination is for cause or due to death, retirement or resignation without "good reason" (as defined in the agreement). The employee agrees not to compete for a period of 24 months or 12 months after termination, depending on when the termination occurs, and agrees to release the companies from liability. ProAssurance has a severance agreement with Mr. Adamo on terms similar to those described above, except that during the two year initial term, termination of employment may also be voluntary and unilateral by Mr. Adamo.
