Re: Amendment to Employment Agreement
Dear Xx. Xxxxxx:
Reference is hereby made to the Employment Agreement (the "Agreement"),
dated to be effective as of February 4, 2002, between Peerless Mfg. Co. (the
"Company") and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xx. ("Executive") regarding Executive's
employment with the Company. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined have the meanings given such terms in the Agreement.
In consideration of Executive's service to the Company as the Company's
Chief Financial Officer and as an inducement for Executive to remain in the
employ of the Company, the Company and Executive desire to amend the Agreement
to increase the severance compensation Executive would receive if his employment
with the Company was terminated without Cause.
The Company and Executive hereby agree that effective as of the date
hereof, Section 4.1 of the Agreement entitled "Termination by Employer" is
hereby amended by deleting the reference to "one hundred percent (100%)" therein
and inserting "one hundred fifty percent (150%)" in lieu thereof.
Sincerely,
PEERLESS MFG. CO.
