INC., a New York corporation having its principal office at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 ("Company").
WHEREAS, Executive has been an employee of the Company since 1979; and
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to evidence the terms and
conditions of Executive's continued employment in writing and to provide for the
employment of Executive by the Company on the terms set forth herein;
IT IS AGREED:
1. Employment, Duties and Acceptance.
1.1 The Company hereby employs Executive as its Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer ("COO"). All of Executive's powers and
authority in any capacity shall at all times be subject to the direction and
control of the Company's Board of Directors. Executive shall report directly to
the Board of Directors of the Company.
1.2 The Board may assign to Executive such general management and
supervisory responsibilities and executive duties for the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, including serving as a director, as are consistent
with Executive's status as Executive Vice President and COO. The Company and
Executive acknowledge that Executive's primary functions and duties as Executive
Vice President and COO shall be to manage and supervise the day to day
administration of the Company's business.
1.3 Executive accepts such employment and agrees to devote
substantially all of his business time, energies and attention to the
performance of his duties hereunder. Nothing herein shall be construed as
preventing Executive from making and supervising personal investments, provided
they will not interfere with the performance of Executive's duties hereunder or
violate the provisions of paragraph 5.1(F) hereof.
2. Compensation and Benefits.
2.1 The Company shall pay to Executive a base salary at the annual
rate of $250,000 during the term hereof. Executive's compensation shall be paid
in equal, periodic installments in accordance with the Company's normal payroll
procedures.
2.2 The Company shall also pay to Executive such bonuses as may be
determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. In connection therewith,
the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the senior executive incentive
compensation pool as adopted by the Board of Directors on February 22, 2000, and
thereafter as in effect from time to time during the term hereof; provided that,
notwithstanding any action hereafter taken by the Board of Directors, throughout
the initial term and any renewal terms of this Agreement, Executive shall
receive incentive compensation as more fully set forth in Schedule A annexed
hereto and made a part hereof and on terms no less favorable than the terms of
Schedule A and the Senior Executive Incentive Compensation Plan as they exist on
March 1, 2000.
2.3 As additional compensation for services to be rendered by
Executive hereunder:
(A) (i) The Company hereby issues to Executive options to
purchase 65,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.0625 per share ("Signing
Options"), as evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement of even date herewith
between the Company and Executive.
(ii) The Company shall also issue to Executive options to
purchase an additional 65,000 shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal
to the closing market price of the Company's shares on the American Stock
Exchange on June 30, 2000 (the "Additional Options" and, together with the
"Signing Options," the "Agreement Options"), as evidenced by a second Stock
Option Agreement of even date herewith between the Company and Executive.
(iii) It is the express intention of the parties that the
Agreement Options be granted under the Company's qualified Incentive Stock
Option Plan ("ISOP"). The Executive acknowledges that the effectiveness of the
2000 ISOP adopted by the Company's Board of Directors on February 22, 2000 ( a
copy of which is annexed hereto as Schedule B) is subject to approval by the
Company's shareholders at the next annual meeting of shareholders. The Company
agrees to submit the 2000 ISOP for approval by the Company's shareholders at the
next annual meeting of the Company's shareholders. In the event the shareholders
of the Company fail to approve the 2000 ISOP, the Agreement Options will be
issued pursuant to the Company's 1988 Stock Option Plan and will not constitute
"qualified" options.
(iv) The Company agrees to include the Agreement Options in a
registration statement on Form S-8 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as soon as practicable following the next annual meeting of
shareholders of the Company.
2
(B) In consideration for the services to be rendered by Executive
hereunder, the Company and Executive shall, simultaneously with the execution of
this Agreement, execute and deliver an amendment, in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit I, to those certain Option Agreements dated January 29, 1997 and
November 5, 1998 (the "Pre-existing Options").
(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event of
termination of Executive's employment for "Good Reason" (as hereinafter defined
in Section 3.6 prior to the time the Pre-existing Options or the Agreement
Options are fully vested); or (ii) upon the occurrence of an "Acceleration
Event" (as hereinafter defined in Section 2.3(E)), then the portion of the
Pre-existing Options and Agreement Options which have not then vested shall
become vested as of the date of the termination for "Good Reason" or the
"Acceleration Event", as the case may be.
(D) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of termination of
Executive's employment without "Cause" (as defined in Section 3.4) prior to the
time the Pre-existing Options or the Agreement Options are fully vested and an
"Acceleration Event" shall occur within six months following the date of such
termination without "Cause", then the portion of the Pre-existing Options and
Agreement Options which have not then vested shall become vested as of the date
of the "Acceleration Event".
(E) For the purposes of this Agreement, "an Acceleration Event"
shall mean a change in control of the Company of a nature that would be required
to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in
response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), whether or not the
Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that,
without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred
if, (i) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Act) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 28% or
more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities
without the prior approval of at least two thirds of the members of the
Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") in office immediately prior to such
person attaining such percentage interest; (ii) the Company is a party to a
merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other transaction, or a proxy contest,
as a consequence of which members of the Board in office immediately prior to
such transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board
thereafter; or (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who
at the beginning of such period constituted the Board (including for this
purpose any new director whose election or nomination for election by the
Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two- thirds of the
directors then still in office, other than Executive, who were directors
3
at the beginning of such period) cease, for any reason, to constitute a majority
of the Board.
2.4 The Company shall, at its own cost and expense, maintain (i) a
policy of life insurance on the life of the Executive which will provide a death
benefit to the Executive's beneficiary in the amount of $1,200,000 and which
will be owned by Executive; and (iii) such group medical insurance covering
Executive and Executive's dependent family members and such other benefits as
are generally afforded to other senior executives of the Company, subject to
applicable waiting periods and other conditions. Provided that Executive is
still employed by the Company on the date he attains age 62 and Executive
thereafter retires from such employment, Executive shall be entitled to
participate in the Company's Retired Senior Executive Medical Plan in accordance
with all of the terms and conditions thereof and contained in the letter from
Xxxxx X. Xxxxx to Xxxxxx Xxxxx dated August 2, 1999 (copies of which are annexed
hereto as Exhibit II), except that (i) no further approval of the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors shall be necessary for such participation
and (ii) the Retired Senior Executive Medical Plan shall at all times provide
benefits to Executive and Executive's dependent family members no less favorable
than are provided to senior executives and retired senior executives of the
Company on March 1, 2000.
2.5 Executive shall be entitled to four weeks of vacation in each
calendar year and to a reasonable number of other days off for religious and
personal reasons.
2.6 The Company shall provide Executive with a suitable leased
automobile for business use and shall pay for all other costs associated with
the use of the vehicle, including insurance costs, repairs and maintenance. The
Company shall not be required to expend more than $800 per month for the costs
of leasing such automobile. The costs associated with Executive's automobile
shall be considered taxable income to Executive, except to the extent that it is
documented to have been used by him for business purposes.
2.7 The Company will pay or reimburse Executive for all
transportation, hotel and other expenses reasonably incurred by Executive on
business trips and for all other ordinary and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
actually incurred by him in the conduct of the business of the Company against
itemized vouchers submitted with respect to any such expenses and approved in
accordance with customary procedures.
2.8 Executive acknowledges that he will be obligated to render
services hereunder wherever such services are reasonably required by the
Company, which may necessitate substantial travel by Executive.
4
2.9 The provisions of this paragraph 2 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement for any reason.
3. Term and Termination.
3.1 The term of this Agreement commences as of July 1, 1999 and shall
continue until June 30, 2001, unless sooner terminated as herein provided.
3.2 If Executive dies during the term of this Agreement, this
Agreement shall thereupon terminate, except that the Company shall pay to the
legal representative of Executive's estate (i) the base salary due Executive
pursuant to paragraph 2.1 hereof through the date of Executive's death, (ii) if
death occurs between July 1 and December 31, one-half of the bonus payments

bonuses, (iv) all valid expense reimbursements through the date of the
termination of this Agreement, (v) all accrued but unused vacation pay, (vi) all
costs, if any, associated with terminating the lease for Executive's automobile,
and (vii) Executive shall retain his rights under paragraph 2.3 hereof and under
the Stock Option Agreements executed simultaneously herewith.
3.3 The Company, by notice to Executive, may terminate this Agreement
if Executive shall fail because of illness or incapacity to render, for one
hundred and eighty consecutive (180) calendar days in any consecutive twelve
calendar month period, services of the character contemplated by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding such termination, the Company shall pay to Executive (i) the
base salary due Executive pursuant to paragraph 2.1 hereof through the date of
such notice, less any amount Executive receives for such period from any
Company- sponsored or Company-paid source of insurance, disability compensation
or government program, (ii) if the disability commences between July 1 and
December 31, one-half of the bonus payments calculated in accordance with
paragraph 2.2 for the year in which the disability commenced, and the entire
amount of the bonus payments, if the disability commences between January 1 and
June 30, (iii) all earned and previously approved but unpaid bonuses, (iv) all
valid expense reimbursements through the date of the termination of this
Agreement and all costs, if any, associated with terminating or transferring the
lease for Executive's automobile, (v) all accrued but unused vacation pay, and
(vi) Executive shall retain his rights under paragraph 2.3 hereof and under the
Stock Option Agreements executed simultaneously herewith, in accordance with
their terms.
3.4 The Company, by notice to Executive, may terminate this Agreement
for cause. As used herein, "Cause" shall mean: (a) the refusal, or failure
5
resulting from the lack of good faith efforts, by Executive to carry out
specific directions of the Board which are of a material nature and consistent
with his status as Executive Vice President and COO, or the refusal, or failure
resulting from the lack of good faith efforts, by Executive to perform a
material part of Executive's duties hereunder; (b) the commission by Executive
of a material breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement; (c) fraud or
dishonest action by Executive in his relations with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, or with any customer or business contact of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates ("dishonest" for these purposes
shall mean Executive's knowingly making a material misstatement or omission, or
knowingly committing a material improper act, for his personal benefit); or (d)
the conviction of Executive of any crime involving an act of moral turpitude.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no "Cause" for termination shall be deemed to
exist with respect to Executive's acts described in clauses (a) or (b) above,
unless the Company shall have given written notice to Executive specifying the
"Cause" with reasonable particularity and, within thirty (30) calendar days
after such notice, Executive shall not have cured or eliminated the problem or
thing giving rise to such "Cause;" provided, however, that a repeated breach
after notice and cure of any provision of clauses (a) or (b) above involving the
same or substantially similar actions or conduct, shall be grounds for
termination for "Cause" without any additional notice from the Company.
3.5 If Executive's employment hereunder is terminated for any reason,
then Executive shall, at the Company's request, resign as a director of the
Company and all of its subsidiaries, effective upon the occurrence of such
termination.
3.6 The Executive, by notice to the Company, may terminate this
Agreement if a "Good Reason" exists. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good
Reason" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following circumstances without
the Executive's prior express written consent: (a) a substantial and material
adverse change in the nature of Executive's title, duties or responsibilities
with the Company that represents a demotion from his title, duties or
responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such change; (b) Executive is
not nominated to serve as a director by the Company or is removed from service
as a director of the Company; (c) a substantial and material breach of this
Agreement by the Company; (d) a failure by the Company to make any payment to
Executive when due, unless the payment is not material and is being contested by
the Company, in good faith; or (e) a material and adverse change in the
compensation or benefits described in Section 2 of this Agreement with which
Executive disagrees; provided that the failure or refusal by the Company to
offer continued employment to Executive at least six months prior to the
expiration of the initial term or any renewal term of this Agreement; and
further provided that, if the Company fails or refuses to offer continued
employment to the Executive at least six months prior to the expiration of the
initial term or any renewal term of this Agreement, (i) "Good Reason" shall not
6
exist by reason of a substantial and material adverse change in the nature of
Executive's title, duties or responsibilities with the Company which represents
a demotion from his title, duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately
prior to such change within six months prior to the expiration of the initial
term or any renewal term of this Agreement; and (ii) "Good Reason" shall not
exist by reason of Executive's not being nominated by the Company to serve as a
director or being removed as a director within six months prior to the
expiration of the initial term or any renewal term of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall not be deemed to exist with
respect to the Company's acts described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e)
above, unless the Executive shall have given written notice to the Company
specifying the Good Reason with reasonable particularity and, within thirty (30)
calendar days after such notice, the Company shall not have cured or eliminated
the problem or thing giving rise to such Good Reason; provided, however, that a
repeated breach after notice and cure of any provision of clauses (a), (b), (c),
(d) or (e) above involving the same or substantially similar actions or conduct,
shall be grounds for termination for Good Reason without any additional notice
from the Executive.
3.7 In the event that Executive terminates this Agreement for Good
Reason, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 3.6, or the Company terminates
this Agreement without "Cause," as defined in paragraph 3.4, the Company shall
continue to pay to Executive (or in the case of his death, the legal
representative of Executive's estate or such other person or persons as
Executive shall have designated by written notice to the Company), all payments,
compensation and benefits required under paragraph 2 hereof through the term of
this Agreement; including, without limitation, incentive compensation as
determined in accordance with paragraph 2.2, plus an amount equal to one year's
base salary and Executive shall not be subject to the obligations of Section
5.1(F); provided, however Executive's health insurance coverage shall terminate
upon the Executive becoming covered under a similar program by reason of
employment elsewhere.
3.8 In the event that, not less than six months prior to the
expiration of the initial term or any renewal term (if the parties agree to a
renewal term) hereof, the Company does not offer continued employment to
Executive or offers such continued employment on terms and conditions less
favorable to Executive than those in effect upon the expiration of the
then-current term hereof, in addition to all amounts payable to Executive
hereunder through the expiration of the then current term, commencing not more
than thirty (30) days after the expiration of this Agreement, the Company shall
pay to Executive an amount equal to one-half of the annual base salary paid to
Executive for the twelve months immediately preceding the expiration of this
Agreement. Such amounts shall be paid in six equal monthly installments whether
or not Executive is otherwise employed and regardless of any other income
Executive may earn and Executive shall not be subject to the obligations of
Section 5.1(F).
7
4. Executive Indemnity
4.1 The Company agrees to indemnify Executive and hold Executive
harmless against all costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees) and liabilities (other than settlements to which the Company
does not consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
(collectively, "Losses") reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with any
claim, action, proceeding or investigation brought against or involving
Executive with respect to, arising out of or in any way relating to Executive's
employment with the Company or Executive's service as a director of the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify Executive
for Losses incurred as a result of Executive's intentional misconduct or gross
negligence (other than matters where Executive acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the Company's best
interests). Executive shall promptly notify the Company of any claim, action,
proceeding or investigation under this paragraph and the Company shall be
entitled to participate in the defense of any such claim, action, proceeding or
investigation and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense with counsel selected
by the Company; provided that Executive shall have the right to employ counsel
to represent him (at the Company's expense) if Company counsel would have a
"conflict of interest" in representing both the Company and Executive. The
Company shall not settle or compromise any claim, action, proceeding or
investigation without Executive's consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that such consent shall not be
required if the settlement entails only the payment of money and the Company
fully indemnifies Executive in connection therewith. The Company further agrees
to advance any and all expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and
expenses of counsel) reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with any
such claim, action, proceeding or investigation, provided Executive first enters
into an appropriate agreement for repayment of such advances if indemnification
is found not to have been available.
5. Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition.
5.1 Executive acknowledges that:
(A) As a result of his current employment with, and prior
retention as an employee of, the Company, Executive has obtained and will obtain
secret and confidential information concerning the business of the Company and
its subsidiaries and affiliates (referred to collectively in this paragraph 5 as
the "Company"), including, without limitation, financial information, designs
and other proprietary rights, trade secrets and "know-how," customers and
sources ("Confidential Information").
8
(B) The Company will suffer substantial damage which will be
difficult to compute if, during the period of his employment with the Company or
thereafter, Executive should enter a business competitive with the Company or
divulge Confidential Information.
(C) The provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and
necessary for the protection of the business of the Company.
(D) Executive agrees that he will not at any time, either
during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, divulge to any person or entity
any Confidential Information obtained or learned by him as a result of his
employment with, or prior retention by, the Company, except (i) in the course of
performing his duties hereunder, (ii) with the Company's express written
consent; (iii) to the extent that any such information is in the public domain
other than as a result of Executive's breach of any of his obligations
hereunder; or (iv) where required to be disclosed by court order, subpoena or
other government process. If Executive shall be required to make disclosure
pursuant to the provisions of clause (iv) of the preceding sentence, Executive
promptly, but in no event more than 72 hours after learning of such subpoena,
court order, or other government process, shall notify, by personal delivery or
by electronic means, confirmed by mail, the Company and, at the Company's
expense, Executive shall: (a) take all reasonably necessary and lawful steps
required by the Company to defend against the enforcement of such subpoena,
court order or other government process, and (b) permit the Company to intervene
and participate with counsel of its choice in any proceeding relating to the
enforcement thereof.
(E) Upon termination of his employment with the Company,
Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all memoranda, notes, records,
reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints and other documents (and all copies
thereof) relating to the business of the Company and all property associated
therewith, which he may then possess or have under his control; provided,
however, that Executive shall be entitled to retain copies of such documents
reasonably necessary to document his financial relationship (both past and
future) with the Company.
(F) During the period commencing on the date hereof and
ending on the date Executive's employment hereunder is terminated (and, if
Executive is terminated with "Cause" or Executive terminates this Agreement
without "Good Reason," until the date which is one year after any such
termination), Executive, without the prior written permission of the Company,
shall not, anywhere in the world, (i) be employed by, or render any services to,
any person, firm or corporation engaged in any business which is directly or
indirectly in competition with the Company ("Competitive Business"); (ii) engage
in any Competitive Business for his or its own account; (iii) be associated with
9
or interested in any Competitive Business as an individual, partner,
shareholder, creditor, director, officer, principal, agent, employee, trustee,
consultant, advisor or in any other relationship or capacity; (iv) employ or
retain, or have or cause any other person or entity to employ or retain, any
person who was employed or retained by the Company while Executive was employed
by the Company; or (v) solicit, interfere with, or endeavor to entice away from
the Company, for the benefit of a Competitive Business, any of its customers or
other persons with whom the Company has a contractual relationship.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude
Executive from investing his personal assets in the securities of any
corporation or other business entity which is engaged in a Competitive Business
if such securities are traded on a national stock exchange or in the
over-the-counter market and if such investment does not result in his
beneficially owning, at any time, more than 4.9% of the publicly-traded equity
securities of such Competitive Business.
(G) If Executive commits a breach, or threatens to commit a
breach, of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1(D) or 5.1(F), the Company shall
have the right and remedy:
(i) to have the provisions of this Agreement
specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being
acknowledged and agreed by Executive that the services being rendered hereunder
to the Company are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that any
such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company
and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company; and
(ii) require Executive to account for and pay over to
the Company all monetary damages suffered by the Company as the result of any
transactions constituting a breach of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1(D)
or 5.1(F), and Executive hereby agrees to account for and pay over such damages
to the Company.
5.2 Each of the rights and remedies enumerated in this Section 5 shall
be independent of the other, and shall be severally enforceable, and such rights
and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and
remedies available to the Company under law or equity.
5.3 In connection with any legal action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the other party for the reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party.
10
5.4 If Executive shall violate any covenant contained in Section
5.1(F), the duration of such covenant so violated shall be automatically
extended for a period of time equal to the period of such violation.
5.5 If any provision of Sections 5.1(D) or 5.1(F) is held to be
unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of its applicability, the
tribunal making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope,
duration, or area, or all of them, and such provision or provisions shall then
be applicable in such modified form.
5.6 The provisions of this paragraph 5 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement for any reason.
