This General Release and Separation Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, together with your heirs, administrators, executors, successors, assigns and other personal representatives (collectively referred to as “You”) and AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS, INC. (the “Company”), together with its past, present and future officers, directors, shareholders, members, agents, representatives, insurers, employees, attorneys, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, managers, fiduciaries, trustees, employee benefit plan administrators, successors, and assigns (collectively referred to as the “Released Parties”) Throughout this Agreement, You and the Company and/or the Released Parties may be referred to individually as a “Party,” or collectively as the “Parties.” In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:
1.Separation From Employment.
|
|
a. |
You acknowledge separation of your employment with the Company effective September 25, 2020 (“Separation Date”). You acknowledge and agree that as of the Separation Date, you will cease to be an employee of the Company and you will no longer be eligible for or receive any compensation or benefits of employment. The only compensation or benefits you will receive from the Company are those described in this Agreement. |
|
|
b. |
You shall be entitled to payment of your salary or wages earned through the Separation Date, as well as any accrued but unused PTO time, pursuant to AEO’s Paid Time Off and Paid Sick Leave Policy, within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of this Agreement, which, provided you do not revoke it, is eight (8) calendar days after you sign it. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall pay your salary or wages and any PTO, which the parties agree will be equal to twenty-one (21) days, less applicable withholdings and deductions. The Company agrees to waive your obligation to repay any negative outstanding PTO balance. |
|

2.Separation Payments and Benefits.
|
|
a. |
Separation Installment Payments. You will receive Separation Installment Payments equal to twelve (12) months of your regular base pay, less applicable deductions and withholdings. Separation Installment Payments will begin within fourteen (14) calendar days of the expiration of your 7-day revocation period, provided that you have signed, returned, and not revoked this Agreement, and will be made on the same schedule and in the same manner applicable to active Company employees in similar job classifications (the “Separation Installment Payments Period”). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in the event you secure comparable employment before the end of the Separation Installment Payments Period, the Separation Installment Payments Period shall end. In the event you secure comparable employment during the thirty (30) calendar days following the Separation Date, you will receive one Separation Installment Payment equal to one (1) month of your regular base pay, less applicable deductions and withholdings, in one lump sum, payable within thirty (30) calendar days. For the purposes of this Agreement, “comparable employment” means employment at or above your compensation with the Company as of the Separation Date. You agree that you will notify the Company in writing immediately if you accept employment prior to the end of the Separation Installment Payments Period and the compensation for such employment (to allow the Company to determine if it is “comparable employment” as forth in this Agreement). You understand that the Separation Installment Payments are not earnings for purposes of 401(k) benefit plans, regular or supplemental. |

Benefit Plans. Your entitlements under any benefit plans in which you participated while you were employed by the Company, including equity plans, restricted stock (both time-based and performance based), stock options, deferred compensation and 401(k) plans, will be determined in accordance with the terms of each respective plan. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair, diminish or interfere with any rights, privileges or benefits you have with respect to ERISA plans, equity award agreements or similar governing documents. Except as described above, you hereby withdraw your participation in any and all bonus or incentive plan(s) or program(s) and understand that you are not now nor will in the future be entitled to any future grants or contributions under those plans, including future equity grants including stock or stock options. |

If you request individual references from officers or executives of the Company, they may provide such references at their own discretion. |

|
|
g. |
No Other Payments. You acknowledge that this Agreement does not include any form of compensation or benefits other than specifically described herein and that the benefits you will receive under this Agreement are greater than those benefits you would have been entitled to receive upon separation of employment in the absence of this Agreement. You acknowledge that you are not eligible for any post-separation pay or benefits other than provided in this Agreement, including but not limited to payments under any of the Company’s severance plans or programs and bonus or incentive pay programs. |

You acknowledge and agree that included in your General Release of Claims are any and all claims that have been, or may be asserted by you or by any other person or entity on your behalf in any class or collective action relating to your employment and/or the termination of your employment with the Company. Accordingly, (i) you waive any right to become, and promise not to consent to become, a member of any class in a case in which claims are asserted against the Company and the Released Parties that are related in any way to your employment with or termination from the Company, and that involve events which have occurred as of the date you sign this Agreement; and (ii) you waive any and all rights you might otherwise have to receive notice of any class or collective action. In the event that you are included or identified as a member or potential member of a class in any proceeding, you agree to opt out of the class at the first opportunity afforded to you after learning of your inclusion. In this regard, you agree that you will execute, without objection or delay, an “opt-out” form presented to you in connection with such proceeding. |
|
|
c. |
You agree that should any person or entity file or cause to be filed any civil action, suit, arbitration, or legal proceeding (with the exception of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) and similar state agency charges of discrimination, as described below) seeking equitable or monetary relief in connection with any aspect of your employment relationship with the Company, you will take all necessary actions to withdraw from such action and/or have it dismissed with prejudice as it relates to you personally, and you agree that you will not voluntarily participate or cooperate in such matter(s) unless required by law.

Nothing in this Agreement waives or releases your right to receive a monetary award from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). |
|
|
d. |
Notwithstanding any local or other law to the contrary, you expressly agree that the General Release of Claims will extend and apply to all claims, injuries and damages you may have against the Company and/or any of the Released Parties at the time you sign the Agreement, regardless of whether you are aware of or suspect such claims at the time you sign. |

6
|
|

|
|

|
|

Expense Reconciliation. You further represent and agree by your Separation Date you will have reimbursed or reconciled to the Company’s satisfaction all charges made to the Company by you or expenses charged by you to the Company, and that if you fail to make such reimbursement that the Company may deduct any sums owed by you from the payment amount(s) specified in this Agreement. |
|
|
j. |
Breach/Remedy. You agree that the restrictions in this Section 5 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and you agree that if you breach any provision of this Section 5, the damage may be substantial, although difficult to quantify, and money damages may not afford the Company an adequate remedy. Therefore, if you breach or threaten to breach this Section 5, in whole or in part, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to other rights and remedies provided by this Agreement or by law, to specific performance, injunctive relief, and other equitable relief to prevent or restrain such conduct. In addition, you acknowledge and understand that if you breach any provision of this Agreement, you will cease to be eligible for payments and benefits under this Agreement and the Company may, in its sole discretion, discontinue remaining payments and benefits, if any, and may require you to reimburse the value of payments and benefits previously received, unless prohibited by law. |
6.Miscellaneous Provisions.
|
|
c. |
Choice of Law. Any disputes or claims will be decided pursuant to the AEO Dispute Resolution Program. To the extent a dispute is not covered by the AEO Dispute Resolution Program, and not governed by federal law or otherwise prohibited by state law, you agree that the Agreement is governed by the laws of Pennsylvania, without regard to its principles on conflict of law. Additionally, to the extent a dispute is not covered by the AEO Dispute Resolution Program and a |
10
|
|
federal court or agency does not have jurisdiction over any action involving the validity, interpretation or enforcement of the Agreement, or any of its terms, provisions or obligations, you agree that jurisdiction and venue shall exist exclusively in a court or government agency located within the state of Pennsylvania unless specifically prohibited by applicable state law. |
|
|
d. |
Tax Withholding. All payments made, and benefits provided, hereunder shall be net of all legally required taxes and other withholdings. You shall be solely responsible for all taxes that result from your receipt of the payments and benefits to be provided under this Agreement and the Company does not make any representation, warranty or guarantee of any federal, state or local tax consequence to you as part of your receipt of any payment or benefit hereunder, including, but not limited to, under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted to comply with Section 409A and if necessary, any provision shall be held null and void to the extent such provision (or part thereof) fails to comply with Section 409A or regulations thereunder. For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of applying the Section 409A deferral election rules and the exclusion from Section 409A for certain short-term deferral amounts. Any amounts payable under this Agreement solely on account of an involuntary separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A shall be excludible from the requirements of Section 409A, either as involuntary separation pay or as short-term deferral amounts (e.g., amounts payable under the schedule prior to March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year of involuntary separation) to the maximum possible extent. To the extent that deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Section 409A becomes payable under this Agreement to a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A) on account of separation from service, any such payments shall be delayed by six months to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. Further, any reimbursements or in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the period of time specified in the employment agreement, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. |
11
|
|
or directly involving you and the Company are superseded by this Agreement, except any prior agreements related to arbitration of disputes, inventions, business ideas, confidentiality of corporate information, non-competition or non-solicitation remain intact. This Agreement may not be changed, modified, or altered without the express written consent of you and an officer of the Company. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY LANGUAGE TO THE CONTRARY, THE AEO DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROGRAM AGREED TO BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT, SHALL SURVIVE THIS AGREEMENT, AND SHALL APPLY TO CLAIMS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. |
|
|
f. |
No Waiver.
