EXHIBIT 10.5
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of
January 1, 2000, by and between Xxxxxxx Financial Services Corporation, a
Michigan corporation ("Xxxxxxx"), and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx (the "Executive").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Xxxxxxx desires to employ the Executive, and the Executive
desires to be employed by Xxxxxxx, on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in
this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
1. Employment.
(a) Xxxxxxx agrees to employ the Executive and the Executive
accepts the employment, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
below. During the term of employment hereunder, the Executive shall serve as the
Chief Executive Officer and President of Xxxxxxx, and shall do and perform
diligently all such services, acts and things as are customarily done and
performed by the Chief Executive Officer and President of companies in similar
business and in size to Xxxxxxx, together with such other duties as may
reasonably be requested from time to time by the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxx
(the "Board"), which duties shall be consistent with the Executive's positions
as set forth above.
(b) For service as an officer and employee of Xxxxxxx, the
Executive shall be entitled to the full protection of the applicable
indemnification provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of
Xxxxxxx, as they may be amended from time to time. Xxxxxxx agrees that the
Executive will be named as an additional insured under Xxxxxxx'x Directors' and
Officers' Errors and Omissions Insurance during his employment hereunder.
2. Term of Employment.
Subject to the provisions for termination provided below, the
term of the Executive's employment under this Agreement shall commence on the
date of this Agreement and shall continue thereafter for a period of three (3)
years; provided however, that the term of this Agreement shall be automatically
extended for successive terms of one (1) year each, unless either party notifies
the other party in writing of its desire to terminate this Agreement at least
ninety (90) days before the end of the term then in effect.
3. Devotion to Xxxxxxx'x Business.
The Executive shall devote his entire productive time, ability
and attention to the business of Xxxxxxx during the term of this Agreement;
however, the expenditure of reasonable amounts of time to various charitable and
other community activities, or to the Executive's own personal investments and
projects, provided the amount of time so devoted does not materially impair,
detract or adversely affect the performance of the Executive's duties under this
Agreement, shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.
4. Compensation.
(a) During the term of this Agreement, Xxxxxxx shall pay or
provide, as the case may be, to the Executive the compensation and other
benefits and rights set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement.
2
(b) Base Compensation. As compensation for the services to be
performed hereafter, Xxxxxxx shall pay to the Executive, during his employment
hereunder, a base salary (the "Base Salary") payable in accordance with
Xxxxxxx'x usual pay practices (and in any event no less frequently than monthly)
at the rate of:
(i) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) for
the first year;
(ii) Two Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars
($275,000.00) for the second year; and
(iii) Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) for the
third year.
(c) Annual Salary Increase. On January 1 of each year,
commencing January 1, 2003, the Base Salary shall be increased by five percent
(5%) of the Base Salary for the immediately prior year or such greater increase
as may be deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company, in its
sole discretion.
(d) Incentive Compensation. The Board shall prepare and adopt
an executive bonus plan (the "Bonus Plan") which shall be established for the
payment of an annual incentive bonus to the Executive based on Xxxxxxx achieving
certain performance criteria to be established by Xxxxxxx and the Executive.
Executive shall be eligible to receive an award under the Bonus Plan on the
terms and conditions set forth therein and shall also be eligible to receive
such other bonus as determined by Xxxxxxx'x Board of Directors or compensation
committee (collectively, "Incentive Compensation").
(e) Disability. During any period that the Executive fails to
perform his duties hereunder as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental
illness (the "Disability Period"), the Executive shall continue to receive his
full Base Salary, bonuses and other benefits at the rate in effect for such
period until his employment is terminated by Xxxxxxx pursuant to Section
7(a)(iii) hereof; provided, however, that payments so made to the Executive
during the Disability Period shall be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any,
which were paid to the Executive at or prior to the time of any such payment
under disability benefit plans of Xxxxxxx.
5. Benefits.
(a) Insurance. Xxxxxxx shall provide to the Executive life,
disability, medical, hospitalization and dental insurance for himself, his
spouse and eligible family members as may be determined by the Board to be
consistent with industry standards.
(b) Benefit Plans. The Executive, at his election, may
participate, during his employment hereunder, in all retirement plans, 401(K)
plans and other benefit plans of Xxxxxxx generally available from time to time
to other executive employees of Xxxxxxx or its subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries")
and for which the Executive qualifies under the terms of the plans (and nothing
in this Agreement shall or shall be deemed to in any way affect the Executive's
right and benefits under any such plan except as expressly provided herein). The
Executive shall also be entitled to participate in any equity, stock option or
other employee benefit plan that is generally available to senior executives, as
distinguished from general management, of Xxxxxxx or the Subsidiaries. The
Executive's participation in and benefits under any such plan shall be on the
terms and subject to the conditions specified in the governing document of the
particular plan.
2
3
(c) Annual Vacation. The Executive shall be entitled to four
(4) weeks vacation time each year without loss of compensation. The Executive
may be absent from his employment for vacation on dates to be mutually agreed
upon by Xxxxxxx and the Executive, and approval of Xxxxxxx shall not be
unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Executive is unable for any reason
to take the total amount of vacation time authorized herein during any year, he
may accrue such unused time and add it to the vacation time for any following
year. Upon any termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, accrued
and unused vacation time shall be paid to the Executive within ten (10) days of
such termination based on the Base Salary in effect on the date of such
termination; provided, however, that no more than twenty (20) days of accrued
vacation time may be carried over at any time.
6. Reimbursement of Business Expenses.
Xxxxxxx shall reimburse the Executive or provide him with an
expense allowance during the term of this Agreement for travel, entertainment,
business development and other expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred by
the Executive in connection with Xxxxxxx'x business. The Executive shall furnish
such documentation with respect to reimbursement to be paid hereunder as Xxxxxxx
shall reasonably request.
7. Termination of Employment.
(a) The Executive's employment under this Agreement may be
terminated:
(i) by either the Executive or Xxxxxxx at any time for any
reason whatsoever or for no reason upon not less than sixty (60) days
written notice;
(ii) by Xxxxxxx at any time for "cause" as defined below,
without prior notice;
(iii) by Xxxxxxx upon the Executive's "permanent
disability" (as defined below) upon not less than thirty (30) days written
notice; and
(iv) upon the Executive's death.
(b) For purposes hereof, for "cause" shall mean the material
breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Executive which breach, if
curable, continues uncured for a period of twenty (20) days after the
Executive's receipt of written notice of such breach from Xxxxxxx, or any action
of the Executive (or the Executive's failure to act), which, in the reasonable
determination of the Board, involves malfeasance, fraud, or moral turpitude, or
which, if generally known, would or might have a material adverse effect on
Xxxxxxx and/or its reputation.
(c) For purposes hereof, the Executive's "permanent
disability" shall be deemed to have occurred after one hundred twenty (120)
consecutive days during which the Executive, by reason of his physical or mental
disability or illness, shall have been unable to discharge his duties under this
Agreement. The date of permanent disability shall be such one hundred
twenty-first (121st) day. In the event either Xxxxxxx or the Executive, after
receipt of notice of the Executive's permanent disability from the other,
disputes that the Executive's permanent disability shall have occurred, the
Executive shall promptly submit to a physical examination by the chief of
medicine of any major accredited hospital in Michigan and, unless such physician
shall issue his written statement to the effect that in his opinion, based on
his diagnosis, the Executive is capable of resuming his employment and devoting
his full time and energy to discharging his duties within thirty (30) days after
the date of such statement, such
3
4
permanent disability shall be deemed to have occurred.
8. Compensation Upon Termination or Disability.
(a) In the event that Xxxxxxx terminates the Executive's
employment under this Agreement without "cause" pursuant to paragraph 7(a)(i)
hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to any unpaid Base Salary, Incentive
Compensation and benefits accrued and earned by him hereunder up to and
including the effective date of such termination, which shall be paid by Xxxxxxx
to the Executive within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such
termination, and Xxxxxxx shall pay the Executive monthly an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12) of the Base Salary that would otherwise be payable for the
remaining term of this Agreement, provided, however that such payment shall
continue for a period of no less than twelve (12) months and no more than
eighteen (18) months if the Executive fully complies with paragraph 11 of this
Agreement (the "Severance Payment"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxxxx, in
its sole discretion, may elect to make the Severance Payment to the Executive in
one lump sum due within thirty (30) days of the Executive's termination of
employment.
(b) In the event of termination of the Executive's employment
under this Agreement for "cause" or if the Executive voluntarily terminates his
employment hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to no further compensation
or other benefits under this Agreement, except only as to any unpaid Base
Salary, Incentive Compensation and benefits accrued and earned by him hereunder
up to and including the effective date of such termination.
(c) In the event of termination of the Executive's employment
under this Agreement due to the Executive's permanent disability or death, the
Executive (or his successors and assigns in the event of his death) shall be
entitled to any unpaid Base Salary, Incentive Compensation and benefits accrued
and earned by him hereunder up to and including the effective date of such
termination, which shall be paid by Xxxxxxx to the Executive or his successors
and assigns, as appropriate, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of
such termination, and Xxxxxxx shall pay the Executive monthly an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12) of the Base Salary that would otherwise be payable under this
Agreement for a period of twenty four (24) months if the Executive fully
complies with paragraph 11 of this Agreement (the "Disability Payment");
provided, however, that payments so made to the Executive shall be reduced by
the sum of the amounts, if any, which: (i) were paid to the Executive at or
prior to the time of any such payment under disability benefit plans of Xxxxxxx,
and (ii) did not previously reduce the Base Salary, Incentive Compensation and
other benefits due the Executive under paragraph 4(d) of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxxxx, in its sole discretion, may elect to
make the Disability Payment to the Executive in one lump sum due within thirty
(30) days of the Executive's termination of employment.
(d) Regardless of the reason for termination of the
Executive's employment hereunder, Incentive Compensation and benefits shall be
prorated and paid for any period of employment not covering an entire year of
employment.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph
8, Xxxxxxx'x obligation to pay, and the Executive's right to receive, any
compensation under this paragraph 8, including, without limitation, the
Severance Payment and the Disability Payment, shall terminate upon the
Executive's breach of any provision of paragraph 11 hereof. In addition, the
Executive shall promptly forfeit any compensation received from Xxxxxxx under
this paragraph 8, including, without limitation, the Severance Payment and the
Disability Payment, upon the Executive's breach of any provision of paragraph 11
hereof.
9. Stock Options. In the event of termination of the Executive's
employment under this Agreement for "cause", all stock options in Xxxxxxx or
other stock-based compensation
4
5
awarded to the Executive shall lapse and be of no further force or effect
whatsoever in accordance with Xxxxxxx'x 1997 Stock Option Plan. In the event
that Xxxxxxx terminates the Executive's employment under this Agreement without
"cause" or upon the death or permanent disability of the Executive, all stock
options and other stock based compensation awarded to the Executive shall become
fully vested and immediately exercisable, provided, however, that such options
and other stock based compensation shall be automatically forfeited upon the
Executive's breach of any of the provisions of Section 11 hereof. If the
Executive's employment is terminated without "cause", the exercise period for
the Executive's stock options will not be accelerated and such exercise period
shall continue to be the term specified in the option agreement for the
Executive. Any Stock Option Agreements between Xxxxxxx and the Executive shall
be amended to conform to the provisions of this Section 9.
10. Effect of Change in Control.
(a) Xxxxxxx or its successor shall pay the Executive the Change in
Control Benefits (as defined below) if there has been a Change in Control (as
defined below) and any of the following events has occurred: (i) the Executive's
employment under this Agreement is terminated in accordance with paragraph
7(a)(i), (ii) upon a Change in Control under paragraph 10(e)(ii), Xxxxxxx or its
successor does not expressly assume all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, or (iii) there are less than thirty (30) months remaining under the
term of this Agreement.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the "Change in Control Benefits"
shall mean the following benefits:
(i) A cash payment equal to two and 99/100 (2.99) times the Base
Salary in effect on the date of such Change in Control, payable within
sixty (60) days of the Change in Control; and
(ii) Continued receipt of all compensation and benefits set forth
in paragraphs 5(a) and 5(b) of this Agreement, until the earlier of (i)
one year following the Change in Control (subject to the Executive's
COBRA rights) or (ii) the commencement of comparable coverage from
another employer. The provision of any one benefit by another employer
shall not preclude the Executive from continuing participation in
Xxxxxxx benefit programs provided under this paragraph 10(b)(ii) that
are not provided by the subsequent employer. The Executive shall
promptly notify Xxxxxxx upon receipt of benefits from a new employer
comparable to any benefit provided under this paragraph 10(b)(ii).
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in the event
that the Executive's employment under this Agreement is terminated in accordance
with paragraph 7(a)(i) within sixty (60) days prior to a Change in Control, such
termination shall be deemed to have been made in connection with the Change in
Control and the Executive shall be entitled to the Change in Control Benefits;
and (ii) in the event that the Executive's employment under this Agreement is
terminated by Xxxxxxx or its successor in accordance with paragraph 7(a)(i)
after a Change in Control and the Executive was not already entitled to the
Change in Control Benefits under paragraph 10(a)(iii), Xxxxxxx or its successor
shall pay the Executive an amount equal to the difference between the Change in
Control Benefits and the amounts actually paid to the Executive under this
Agreement after the Change in Control but prior to his termination.
(d) The Change in Control Benefits are in addition to any and all other
Xxxxxxx benefits to which the Executive may be entitled, including, without
limitation, Base Salary, Incentive Compensation, Severance Payment, Disability
Payment and the exercise or surrender of stock options as a result of the Change
in Control.
5
6
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Change in Control Benefits shall be reduced by all other payments to the
Executive which constitute "excess parachute payments" under Section 280(G) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(f) For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change in Control" shall be
deemed to have occurred:
(i) if any person or group of persons acting together (other than
(a) Xxxxxxx or any person who on December 1, 1999 was (I) a director or
officer of Xxxxxxx, or (II) whose shares of Common Stock of Xxxxxxx are
treated as "beneficially owned" by any such director or officer, or (b)
any institutional investor (filing reports under Section 13(g) rather
than 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
including any employee benefit plan or employee benefit trust sponsored
by Xxxxxxx)), becomes a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
securities of Xxxxxxx representing ten percent (10%) or more of either
the then-outstanding Common Stock of Xxxxxxx or the combined voting
power of Xxxxxxx'x then-outstanding voting securities;
(ii) if the Directors or Shareholders of Xxxxxxx approve an
agreement to merge into or consolidate with, or to sell all or
substantially all of Xxxxxxx'x assets to, any person (other than a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Xxxxxxx formed for the purpose of changing
Xxxxxxx'x corporate domicile); or
(iii) if the new Directors appointed to the Board of Directors
during any twelve-month period constitute a majority of the Board of
Directors, unless (i) the directors who were in office for at least
twelve (12) months prior to such twelve-month period (the "Incumbent
Directors") plus (ii) the new Directors who were recommended or
appointed by a majority of the Incumbent Directors constitutes a
majority of the Board of Directors.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to
the proposed transaction between Xxxxxxx and Franklin Bank, N.A. and their
respective subsidiaries (the "Franklin Transaction"), the Executive shall only
be eligible to receive the Change in Control Benefits if the Executive's
employment is terminated in accordance with Section 7(a)(i) as a result of such
transaction.
For purposes of this paragraph 10(f), a "person" includes an
individual, a partnership, a corporation, an association, an unincorporated
organization, a trust or any other entity.
11. Covenant Not To Compete and Confidentiality.
(a) The Executive acknowledges Xxxxxxx'x reliance and
expectation of the Executive's continued commitment to performance of his duties
and responsibilities under this Agreement. In light of such reliance and
expectation on the part of Xxxxxxx, the Executive agrees that:
(i) for a period commencing on the date of this Agreement
and ending upon the expiration of the Executive's employment under this
Agreement for any reason, the Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, engage in, or have an interest in or be associated with
(whether as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, associate,
employee, consultant, owner or otherwise) any corporation, firm or
enterprise which is engaged in any business which is materially similar
to or which is competitive with the business then or at any time during
the term of this Agreement conducted or actively proposed to be
conducted by Xxxxxxx, the
6
7
Subsidiaries, or any company owned or controlled by Xxxxxxx or under common
control with Xxxxxxx or the Subsidiaries ("Affiliate"), anywhere within the
continental United States or Canada (the "Business"); provided, however,
that the Executive shall be permitted to make passive investments in real
estate and technology, active investments in real estate and technology
that do not interfere or conflict with the performance of the Executive's
duties or directly compete with the Business, and passive investments in
the stock of any publicly traded business (including a competitive
business), so long as the stock investment in any competitive business does
not rise above one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of such business;
(ii) the Executive will not at any time, for so long as
any Confidential Information (as defined below) shall remain confidential
or otherwise remain wholly or partially protectable, either during the term
of this Agreement or thereafter, use or disclose, directly or indirectly,
to any person outside of Xxxxxxx or any Affiliate any Confidential
Information;
(iii) promptly upon the termination of this Agreement for
any reason, the Executive (or in the event of the Executive's death, his
personal representative) shall return to Xxxxxxx any and all copies
(whether prepared by or at the direction of Xxxxxxx or Executive) of all
records, drawings, materials, memoranda and other data constituting or
pertaining to Confidential Information;
(iv) for a period commencing on the date of this Agreement
and ending upon the expiration of eighteen (18) months from the termination
of this Agreement for any reason, or in the event that the Executive is
terminated without "cause", then for such period as the Executive is
covered by the Severance Payment, the Executive shall not, either directly
or indirectly, divert, or by aid to others, do anything which would tend to
divert, from Xxxxxxx or any Affiliate any trade or business with any
customer or supplier with whom the Executive had any contact or association
during the term of the Executive's employment with Xxxxxxx or with any
party whose identity or potential as a customer or supplier was
confidential or learned by the Executive during his employment by Xxxxxxx;
and
(v) for a period commencing on the date of this Agreement
and ending upon the expiration of eighteen (18) months from the termination
of this Agreement for any reason, or in the event that the Executive is
terminated without "cause", then for such period as the Executive is
covered by the Severance Payment,, the Executive shall not, either directly
or indirectly, solicit for employment any person with whom the Executive
was acquainted while in Xxxxxxx'x employ.
As used in this Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" shall mean
all business information of any nature and in any form which at the time or
times concerned is not generally known to those persons engaged in business
similar to that conducted or contemplated by Xxxxxxx or any Affiliate (other
than by the act or acts of an employee not authorized by Xxxxxxx to disclose
such information) and which relates to any one or more of the aspects of the
present or past business of Xxxxxxx or any of the Affiliates or any of their
respective predecessors, including, without limitation, patents and patent
applications, inventions and improvements (whether or not patentable),
development projects, policies, processes, formulas, techniques, know-how, and
other facts relating to sales, advertising, promotions, financial matters,
customers, customer lists, customer purchases or requirements, and other trade
secrets.

(b) The Executive agrees and understands that the remedy at law for
any breach by him of this paragraph 11 will be inadequate and that the damages
flowing from such breach are not readily susceptible to being measured in
monetary terms. Accordingly, it is acknowledged that, upon adequate proof of the
Executive's violation of any legally enforceable provision of this paragraph 11,
Xxxxxxx shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief and may obtain a
temporary order restraining any threatened or further breach. Nothing in this
paragraph 11 shall be deemed to limit Xxxxxxx'x remedies at law or in equity for
any breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of this paragraph 11 which
may be pursued or availed of by Xxxxxxx.
12. No Conflicting Agreements. The Executive represents and warrants
that he is not a party to any agreements, contracts, understandings or
arrangements, whether written or oral, in effect which would prevent him from
rendering exclusive services to Xxxxxxx during the term hereof, and that he has
not made and will not make any commitment to do any act in conflict with this
Agreement.
13. Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating
to this Agreement shall be settled finally and exclusively by arbitration in the
State of Michigan in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect. Such arbitration shall be conducted by an
arbitrator(s) appointed by the American Arbitration Association in accordance
with its rules and any finding by such arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding
upon the parties. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and the parties consent to the
jurisdiction of the Oakland County, Michigan Circuit Court for this purpose.
Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall be construed to preclude Xxxxxxx from
obtaining injunctive or other equitable relief to secure specific performance or
to otherwise prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this Agreement by the
Executive as provided in Section 11 hereof.
14. Notice. All notices, requests, consents and other communications,
required or permitted to be given hereunder to be given under this Agreement

15. Miscellaneous.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any
one or more provisions may be determined to be illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions and any partially
unenforceable provision to the extent enforceable in any jurisdiction
nevertheless shall be binding and enforceable.
(b) The rights and obligations of Xxxxxxx under this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding on, Xxxxxxx and its
successors and assigns, and the rights and obligations (other than obligations
to perform services) of the Executive under this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Executive and his heirs, personal
representatives and assigns. This Agreement is personal to Executive and he may
not assign his obligations under this Agreement in any manner whatsoever.
(c) The failure of any party to enforce any provision or
protections of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of
any such provision or provisions as to any future violations thereof, nor
prevent that party thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision of
this Agreement. The rights granted the parties herein are cumulative and the
waiver of any single remedy shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right
to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the circumstances.
(d) This Agreement supersedes all agreements and
understandings between the parties and may not be modified or terminated orally.
No modification, termination or attempted waiver shall be valid unless in
writing and signed by the party against whom the same is sought to be enforced.
(e) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
according to the laws of the State of Michigan.
(f) Captions and section headings used herein are for
convenience and are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be used in
construing it.

counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
