Nature of Employment (a) The Company hereby agrees to continue to employ Executive as a full-time employee in the position of Chief Operating Officer, or in such other senior executive position as reasonably determined by the President of the Company (the “President”) and Executive accepts such continued employment, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, for the Term of this Agreement (as defined in Section 2 below). Throughout the Term, Executive will report directly to the President or such other senior officer(s) of the Company as designated by the President, and will perform and discharge well and faithfully such duties and functions consistent with his position as may be assigned to him from time to time by the President in his discretion in connection with the conduct of the Company’s business, including with respect to any business conducted by any affiliate of the Company (including any subsidiaries, parents, or other enterprises under common ownership or control with the Company) (each a “Related Entity”). Employee acknowledges that he has no entitlement or right to any specific title or role. If Executive is elected or appointed an officer or director of the Company, or any other Related Entity, during the period of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will serve in such capacity without additional compensation.
(b) During the period of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive: (i) will devote 100% of his employment energies, interests, abilities and time to the performance of his duties and shall not, without the written consent of the President, render to others any service of any kind for compensation; (ii) will not render services to any business activity that is directly or indirectly competitive with any business conducted by the Company or any Related Entity; (iii) will observe and carry out such reasonable rules, regulations, policies, directions and restrictions as may be established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or the board of directors of any Related Entity, including but not limited to the published standard policies, practices and procedures of the Company as in effect from time to time as applied to other senior executives of the Company; and (iv) do such reasonable traveling on a global basis as may be required in connection with the performance of such duties and responsibilities consistent with such traveling requirements prior to the execution of this Agreement.
(c) Executive may serve on corporate, civic and/or charitable boards with the consent of the President, provided that the President may require Executive to resign any or all such board seats if he reasonably believes such board participation conflicts with Executive’s role with the Company or is otherwise too time-consuming or distracting to Executive.
(d) Executive’s normal place of work will be at the Company’s primary office in the New York Metropolitan area unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties.
(e) Executive acknowledges that this Agreement contains non-competition and non-disclosure of proprietary information provisions, and Executive agrees to comply with these provisions. Executive understands that entering into and complying with these provisions is a condition to Executive’s continued employment and that failure to comply with the terms and conditions of these provisions may result in termination “for cause” under this Agreement and in other damages to the Company.
End of Employment If the employment of an employee who is eligible for the bonus ends before annual payment of the bonus, then 1/12 of the sum that was last paid to the employee in seniority bonus shall be paid to the employee at the time of the final wage payment for each month for which the employee has earned annual holiday as of the start of the preceding December.
Scope of Employment (a) During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall be responsible for the performance of those duties consistent with the Executive’s position as General Counsel, in addition to such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to the Executive by the Company. The Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall perform and discharge faithfully, diligently, and to the best of the Executive’s ability, the Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder.
(b) The Executive agrees to devote the Executive’s full business time, best efforts, skill, knowledge, attention and energies to the advancement of the business and interests of the Company and to the performance of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities as an employee of the Company; provided that the Executive may (i) engage in charitable, educational, religious, civic and similar types of activities and (ii) serve on the board of directors of for-profit business enterprises, provided that in each case such service is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) prior to commencement thereof in the Board’s sole discretion and only to the extent that such activities are not competitive with the business of the Company and do not individually or in the aggregate inhibit, interfere with, or prohibit the timely performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder, and do not create a potential business or fiduciary conflict. The Executive agrees to abide by the rules, regulations, instructions, personnel practices, and policies of the Company, as well as any applicable codes of ethics or business conduct, and any changes therein that may be adopted from time to time by the Company.
(c) The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that the Executive is under no obligations or commitments, whether contractual or otherwise, that are inconsistent with the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement. In connection with the Executive’s employment hereunder, the Executive shall not use or disclose any trade secrets or other proprietary information or intellectual property in which the Executive or any other person or entity has any right, title or interest, and Executive’s employment with the Company will not infringe or violate the rights of any other person or entity. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that the Executive has returned all property and confidential information belonging to any prior employer.
Employment of Employee (a) Except as provided in Sections 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d), nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right which Employee may otherwise have to terminate Employee's employment, nor shall anything in this Agreement affect any right which the Company may have to terminate Employee's employment at any time in any lawful manner.
(b) In the event of a Potential Change in Control, to be entitled to receive the benefits provided by this Agreement, Employee will not voluntarily leave the employ of the Company, and will continue to perform Employee's regular duties and the services specified in the recitals of this Agreement until the Change in Control Date. Should Employee voluntarily terminate employment prior to the Change in Control Date, this Agreement shall lapse upon such termination and be of no further force or effect.
(c) If Employee's employment terminates on or after the Change in Control Date, the Company will provide to Employee the payments and benefits as provided in Sections 3 and 4.
(d) If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company prior to the Change in Control Date but on or after a Potential Change in Control Date, then the Company will provide to Employee the payments and benefits as provided in Sections 3 and 4 unless the Company reasonably demonstrates that Employee's termination of employment neither (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control nor (ii) arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control. Solely for purposes of determining the timing of payments and the provision of benefits in Sections 3 and 4 under the circumstances described in this Section 2(d), Employee's date of termination shall be deemed to be the Change in Control Date.
The Executive This Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the prior express written consent of the Company, shall not be assignable by the Executive, except that the Executive’s rights to receive any compensation or benefits under this Agreement may be transferred or disposed of pursuant to testamentary disposition, intestate succession or pursuant to a domestic relations order. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s heirs, beneficiaries and/or legal representatives.
Employment of Executive Employer hereby agrees to employ Executive, and Executive hereby agrees to be and remain in the employ of Employer, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
