washington ( cbs . mw ) - - as enron and dynegy await approval from regulators on the companies ' proposed $ 9 billion merger , enron chief executive kenneth lay finds himself in an enviable position .
lay ' s employment agreement with enron , which is set to expire dec . 31 , 2005 , allows the executive to terminate his employment with the company 60 days prior to the dynegy merger and receive a lump - sum payment of up to $ 80 . 8 million , according to a regulatory filing tuesday .
according to the terms of the employment contract , if lay quits before a change of control at the company , he is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to the number of years left in his contract multiplied by $ 20 . 2 million .
the agreement also allots an amount to lay for any tax - related penalties if the lump - sum payment is held to constitute an " excess parachute payment , " according to the securities and exchange commission filing .
lay ' s original employment agreement with enron was amended in august when he became ceo after jeff skilling resigned .
enron ' s ( ene ) shares fell 4 cents to $ 9 . 20 in recent trading .
