On September 21, 2007, eHealth, Inc. (eHealth) entered into an amendment to the original offer letter and the subsequent offer letter supplement (the Offer Letter) with Bruce Telkamp, eHealths executive vice president of business operations. In connection with Mr. Telkamps recent promotion to executive vice president of business operations, eHealth updated the preexisting severance provision in the Offer Letter so that a demotion below executive vice president or a material diminishment of his responsibilities as executive vice president would be the standard for determining if Mr. Telkamp had grounds for a constructive termination. The outdated severance provision referred to Mr. Telkamps former title of vice president and general counsel. The amendment to the Offer Letter also requires that, in order for Mr. Telkamp to avail himself of the constructive termination provision, Mr. Telkamp must
| terminate his employment, |
| provide eHealth with a notice of any material diminishment of his duties within 90 days of its initial occurrence, |
| provide eHealth with 30 days to cure any material diminishment of his duties, and |
| execute and not revoke a general release of claims in favor of eHealth. |
eHealth also made certain other amendments to Mr. Telkamps offer letter in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The severance benefits for Mr. Telkamps constructive termination remained unchanged, at six months base compensation, including any bonuses he would have been eligible to receive in six-month period following his termination.
