Car allowance: You will receive an annual car allowance of $12,000, to be paid monthly as part of payroll, which will be treated as wages subject to normal taxes and other withholdings. Our expectation is that this allowance is sufficient to cover both (a) the monthly costs of owning and maintaining a vehicle, and (b) any business-related automobile travel expenses. Therefore, any other automobile-related expenditure, including but not limited to gas mileage, maintenance or insurance, whether for business travel or not, requires pre- approval by me or by Beachbody’s Chief People Officer, Helene Klein.
Health Insurance and 401(k) Benefits: You will be eligible for healthcare insurance (medical, dental, vision) subject to the terms of Beachbody’s benefits plans. Beachbody will pay 100% of the healthcare insurance costs for you and your family. The terms and conditions of these benefits plans are set forth in the Beachbody Employee Guide and in the summary plan descriptions attached. You also will be eligible for retirement benefits comparable to other employees of Beachbody at your level, subject to the terms of Beachbody’s benefits plans and programs relating to these benefits. Currently, Beachbody offers a 401(k) savings plan with a 50% match (up to 6% of eligible salary), subject to the terms and conditions of the plan.
Severance: If your employment is terminated during the first two years following your employment start date by Beachbody without Cause, Beachbody will continue to pay you for a period of twelve months following the termination of your employment, as severance pay, at the rate of your then-current base salary, and forthe same twelve-month period will continue to make its normal contribution to your monthly health insurance premiums, through COBRA, provided you elect COBRA, at your then-current coverage levels. Any payments due to you as severance pay shall be paid to you in equal installments in accordance with Beachbody’s normal payroll practices, and any such severance payments or COBRA payments will be conditioned upon your execution of Beachbody’s standard general release of all claims against Beachbody and related entities and persons. The first installment of the severance and COBRA payments provided here will be made not later than the second regularly scheduled payroll date which follows the date on which the release has been signed and becomes irrevocable.
For purposes hereof, the term “Cause” shall mean: (i) your misconduct or intentional actions that adversely affects or threatens to adversely affect Beachbody or its reputation in any material respect as determined in good faith by the CEO or Chairman of the Board of Beachbody; (ii) breach of your duty of loyalty to Beachbody; (iii) acts or threats of violence in any manner affecting Beachbody’s reputation or otherwise connected to your employment in any way; (iv) alcohol or substance abuse; (v) wrongful destruction of Beachbody property; (vi) theft, bribery or other illegal acts, or your indictment for the same, other than for minor traffic offenses; (vii) any act of fraud or personal dishonesty which relates to or involves Beachbody in any material way, including misrepresentation on your employment application or other materials provided in the course of seeking employment at Beachbody; (viii) unauthorized disclosure of confidential information of Beachbody; or (ix) material violation of any written policy of Beachbody; or (x) gross negligence of, or gross incompetence in, the performance of your duties for Beachbody as determined by a majority of votes from the Beachbody, LLC Board of Directors.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this letter, including the compensation and severance payment provision set forth above, your employment with Beachbody, as with that of our other employees, will be “at- will,” permitting you or Beachbody to terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any lawful reason, with or without cause or prior notice. Your at-will status can only be modified in an express writing signed by both you and our CEO. By your signature on this letter, you acknowledge, understand and agree that the employment relationship is at-will.
