engaged in business in the State of Illinois and throughout the United States;
and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Employee in the capacity of
President of the Executive Benefits Practice (the "Division") of the Company,
upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and
WHEREAS, the Employee is willing to enter into this Agreement with respect
to his employment and services upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations
contained herein, the Company hereby employs the Employee and the Employee
hereby accepts such employment upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth:
1. Term of Employment. The term of employment under this Agreement shall
commence on March 21, 2003 (the "Effective Date") and shall extend through
December 31, 2004. Absent notice of termination (described below), commencing on
January 1, 2005 and continuing on each subsequent January l, the term of the
Employee's employment shall automatically be extended for an additional 12
months. To cause the Employee's employment to terminate at the end of the
original or an extended term, either party, at least 30 days prior to such date,
shall give written notice to the other party that the Agreement will terminate.
2. Duties of the Employee. The Employee agrees that during the term of this
Agreement, he will devote substantially all his full professional and
business-related time, skills and best efforts to the businesses of the Company.
The Employee shall report to the Chief Operating Officer of Xxxxx/Xxxxxx Inc. or
such other manager as the Board of the Company may from time to time determine.
The Employee may engage in personal investment activities provided such
activities do not interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder or
violate the noncompetition and confidential information provisions set forth
herein. Nothing herein, however, will prevent the Employee, (i) upon approval of
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of CBI, from service as a
director or trustee of other corporations or businesses which are not directly
or indirectly in competition with the business of the Company or in competition
with any present or future CBI Affiliate, (ii) from service on civic or
charitable boards or committees, or (iii) from engaging in personal, passive,
investment activities; provided such activities do not interfere with the
performance of his duties hereunder or violate the noncompetition and
confidential information provisions set forth herein. Employee shall be
indemnified for actions performed in the course of his employment to the same
extent as other similarly situated employees of the CBI Affiliates.
3. Compensation.
(a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay the Employee an annual base
salary of Three Hundred and Thirty Thousand Dollars ($330,000), for each year of
this Agreement (or fraction for portions of a year) ("Base Salary"). After March
21, 2004, such Base Salary may be adjusted upwards in accordance with the
Company's standard salary adjustment guidelines based upon the Employee's
performance. The Employee's Base Salary shall be subject to all appropriate
federal and state withholding taxes and shall be payable in accordance with the
normal payroll procedures of the Company.
(b) Perquisite Allowance. The Company shall pay the Employee an annual
executive perquisite allowance of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000), for each
year of this Agreement (or fraction for portions of a year) (the "Allowance").
The Allowance shall be in lieu of all other executive perquisites and subject to
all appropriate federal and state withholding taxes and shall be payable in
accordance with the normal payroll procedures of the Company.
(c) Annual Bonus. In addition to the Base Salary and Allowance set forth
in Section 3(a) and 3(b) hereof, the Employee shall receive an annual bonus
opportunity (the "Annual Bonus") each year during his employment equal to 125%
of his Base Salary. For the Annual Bonus attributable to the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2003, the bonus targets will be based on the successful completion
of non-financial goals which will be communicated to the Employee by the Chief
Operating Officer of Xxxxx/Xxxxxx, Inc and one-half of this amount will be
guaranteed to the Employee. The remaining one-half of the 2003 bonus target will
be based on the successful completion of changes to the compensation structure
of commission-based employees within the Division. This determination of whether
these changes have been successfully implemented is at the discretion of the
Chief Operating Officer of Xxxxx/Xxxxxx Inc. but will not be more than ninety
(90) days after this Agreement is executed by the Company. For the Annual Bonus
in subsequent years, no part of which will be guaranteed, the Annual Bonus will
be based on financial and/or non-financial goals which will be communicated to
the Employee by the Chief Operating Officer of Xxxxx/Xxxxxx Inc. on an annual
basis. Generally, subject to the discretion of the Company, 80% of the Annual
Bonus opportunity is paid if approved budget levels are met. The Annual Bonus
shall be paid on or before March 15 of the year following the year to which the
bonus relates. The Employee must be employed by the Company or a CBI Affiliate
on the date of payment in order to receive his Annual Bonus. The Annual Bonus,
if any, shall be subject to all appropriate federal and state withholding taxes
and shall be paid in accordance with the normal payroll procedures of the
Company.
(d) First Option Grant. The Employee will receive an option to purchase
15,000 shares of common stock of Xxxxx/Xxxxxx, Inc. ("CBI") at an exercise price
per share equal to the fair market value of such common stock on the date of
grant, which grant will be made under CBI's 1998 Stock Option Plan or a
substantially equivalent stock option plan (the "Option Plan") pursuant to a
stock option purchase agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B. The date of the grant will be the date on which this Agreement is
executed by the Company. Twenty percent (20%) of such options will vest on the
date of the grant and the remaining 80% will vest annually (20% per year) over a
period of four years from the date of the grant subject to the Employee's
continuing employment with the Company. Such options are otherwise subject to
the terms of the Option Plan. The Employee shall be entitled to receive such
2
additional options on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may
determine from time to time for other Practice Presidents in a similar fashion.
(e) Second Option Grant. The Employee will also receive an option to
purchase 20,000 shares of common stock of Xxxxx/Xxxxxx, Inc. ("CBI") at an
exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of such common stock on
the date of grant, which grant will be made under CBI's 1998 Stock Option Plan
or a substantially equivalent stock option plan (the "Option Plan") pursuant to
a stock option purchase agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C. The date of the grant will be January 2, 2004. Twenty percent (20%)
of such options will vest on the date of the grant and the remaining 80% will
vest annually (20% per year) over a period of four years from the date of the
grant subject to the Employee's continuing employment with the Company. Such
options are otherwise subject to the terms of the Option Plan.
4. Loan Repayment. The Employee is currently party to a Promissory Note
dated April 17, 1998 between himself and the Company (successor to Compensation
Resource Group, the "Holder") which is attached hereto as Exhibit D. As of March
21, 2003, the balance of this Promissory Note is $142,000. The Employee agrees
to pay $100,000 in cash to Xxxxx/Xxxxxx Consulting within thirty (30) days
following the effective date of this Agreement as a partial prepayment on the
outstanding balance of this Promissory Note. The Company agrees to amend the
terms of this Promissory Note so that the remaining outstanding principal
amount, together with accrued interest through December 31, 2003 will be
deducted from the amount of the Employee's 2003 Annual Bonus, if any, which will
be payable in March 2004. To the extent that the 2003 Annual Bonus is
insufficient to repay the Company the outstanding Promissory Note balance, the
Employee must repay the Company from his personal funds, no later than April 1,
2004.
5. EBS Termination. The Employee is currently party to an agreement with
the Company known as the Amended and Restated Executive Benefit Specialist

within 90 days of the effective date of this Agreement. The Chief Operating
Officer of Xxxxx/Xxxxxx, Inc. will be the sole arbiter as to whether this 90 day
period is extended. The purchase of the Employee's vested renewal compensation,
pursuant to Section 5.4 of the EBS Contract, will be per the attached Purchase
Agreement (Exhibit F). The renewal commissions, if any, on the clients Wisconsin

formulas consistent with that of the Purchase Agreement.
