EXHIBIT 10.10
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") entered into as of the
1st day of January, 1998 by and between RENEX CORP., a Florida corporation (the
"Company"), and XXXXXX X. XXXXXXX ("XXXXXXX").
R E C I T A L S:
A. The Company is a provider of kidney dialysis treatments in
various parts of the United States to individuals suffering from end stage renal
disease (the "Business");
X. XXXXXXX has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of
the Company since the Company's inception in July 1993; and
C. The Company believes that it is in the best interest of the
Company to assure XXXXXXX of a secure minimum compensation and to diminish the
inevitable distraction of XXXXXXX that may result in the event of the
possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) by
providing for certain compensation arrangements upon a Change of Control.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
1. RECITATIONS. The above recitations are true and correct and
are incorporated herein by this reference.
2. POSITION OF EMPLOYMENT.
2.1. EMPLOYMENT POSITION. The Company hereby employs
XXXXXXX as Chairman of the Board of Directors. This Agreement shall commence as
of the Commencement Date (as defined in Section 3 herein). XXXXXXX shall perform
such duties as are usually performed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors
of a public company similar in size and scope as the Company. All actions of
XXXXXXX are subject and subordinate to the review and approval of the Company's
Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall be the final and exclusive
arbiter of all policy decisions relative to the Company's Business. The precise
services of XXXXXXX may be modified in accordance with reasonable policy
established by the Board of Directors and not inconsistent with XXXXXXX'x
position. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties agree
that XXXXXXX shall not have the duties and obligations of an executive officer
of the Company, his sole responsibilities are as a non-executive Chairman of the
Board.
2.2. BOARD MEMBERSHIP. During the term of this Agreement,
the Company shall use its best efforts to nominate and cause the election of
XXXXXXX to the Company's Board of Directors. If, for any reason XXXXXXX is
removed from the Board or is not otherwise elected at any of the Company's
annual meetings of shareholders during the term hereof, XXXXXXX shall be
entitled to the severance payment contained in Section 4.5 herein.
2.3. DEVOTION OF TIME. During the term of this Agreement,
XXXXXXX agrees to devote sufficient time and attention to the business and
affair of the Company to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities
assigned to XXXXXXX and to use reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and
efficiently such responsibilities. The Company agrees that XXXXXXX'x position
and employment herein is not full-time. XXXXXXX is involved in other business
ventures, including the practice of law and serves as an employee of
non-competitive companies. The Company agrees that XXXXXXX'x involvement in such
business ventures or the practice of law is not a conflict with, or in violation
of, this Agreement. All sums received from such other endeavors shall be for the
exclusive benefit of XXXXXXX and the Company shall have no interest therein.
2
2.4. CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY. It is the expressly
understanding by and between the Company and XXXXXXX that the doctrine of
corporate opportunity as set forth in Florida corporate law shall only apply to
XXXXXXX and the Company for any business opportunities in the dialysis industry
or such other industry in which the Company operates during the term of this
Agreement. XXXXXXX shall not be required to offer to the Company any business
opportunity or venture in any other industry.
3. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT.
3.1. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT. This Agreement shall begin as of
January 1, 1998 (the "Commencement Date") and end on December 31, 2002, subject
to earlier termination as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
3.2. AUTOMATIC EXTENSION. This Agreement shall be
automatically extended for successive five (5) year periods at the end of the
initial or extended term, unless either party provides written notice of
termination to the other party at least six (6) months prior to the expiration
of the initial or such extended term, respectively.
3.3. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY FOR CAUSE.
The Company may terminate XXXXXXX'x employment upon fifteen (15) days written
notice for the reasons set forth in Section 3.3.1 below, if such default is not
cured within such notice period, or such additional time as is reasonably
necessary to cure such default if XXXXXXX is using diligent efforts to cure such
default. The Company shall be entitled to terminate XXXXXXX'x employment without
notice or an opportunity to cure for the reasons set forth in Section 3.3.2
herein.
3.3.1. NOTICE. Notice or an opportunity to cure shall be
required for the following reasons:
(a) A default or breach by XXXXXXX of
any of the material provisions of this Agreement detrimental to the Company;
(b) refusal to follow reasonable and
lawful directives of the Company's Board of Directors or any committee thereof
which are consistent with XXXXXXX'x duties and responsibility outlined in this
Agreement; or
3.3.2. NO NOTICE. No notice or an opportunity to
cure shall be required for the following:
(a) actions by XXXXXXX constituting
fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty;
(b) the deliberate and knowing breach
by XXXXXXX of the Company's internal financial controls;
(c) XXXXXXX furnishing false,
misleading, or omissive information or omitting to furnish material information
to the Company's Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, in the reasonable
judgment of the Board of Directors;
(d) any action by XXXXXXX which
constitutes a breach of the confidentiality of the Business and/or trade secrets
of the Company;
(e) XXXXXXX'x xxxxx negligence in the
performance of his duties as outlined in this Agreement;
-2-
3
(f) any violation of federal or state
law by XXXXXXX which have a material detrimental impact on the Company;
(g) at such time as XXXXXXX shall have
failed, by reason of mental or physical disability or illness ("Disability" as
hereinafter defined), to perform his services pursuant to this Agreement for a
period of one hundred eighty (180) days. Disability shall be defined to mean the
inability of XXXXXXX to perform his duties under this Agreement, based on
injury, illness or physical or mental conditions as determined by the Company's
Board of Directors, which determination must be supported by two licensed
physicians, one of each selected by the Company and XXXXXXX; provided, however,
if the Company maintains a policy insuring against the disability of XXXXXXX,
Disability shall have the meaning ascribed in such policy. Upon the Board's
initial determination of disability, XXXXXXX will submit to mental and physical
examinations which shall be paid by the Company, unless otherwise covered by
health benefits provided by the Company to XXXXXXX. The failure of XXXXXXX to
submit to such reasonable examinations within fifteen (15) days of such request
shall be conclusive that such Disability exists.
3.3.3. NO ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION. Upon
termination for the reasons set forth in Section 3.3 herein, the Company shall
not be liable for any further compensation or benefits following the date of
termination, other than accrued Base Salary. Notwithstanding, XXXXXXX shall be
entitled to receive all appropriate benefits mandated by the Consolidated Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA").
3.4. TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. The Company shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement without Cause on thirty (30) days written
notice, subject to payment by the Company of the Severance Payment described in
Section 4.5 herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the
event XXXXXXX'x employment is terminated in accordance with this Section 3.4,
XXXXXXX'x rights under any and all stock option programs or individual stock
option arrangements shall remain in effect and provide XXXXXXX the ability to
exercise any and all stock options vested as of the date of termination through
the remainder of the terms of such options, which termination dates shall not be
accelerated based on the termination of employment.
3.5. TERMINATION BY XXXXXXX. XXXXXXX may terminate this
Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice after a material default of this
Agreement by the Company, which default is not cured within the thirty-day
notice period. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts
underlying the default. If XXXXXXX terminates this Agreement under this
Paragraph 3.5, XXXXXXX shall be entitled to the Severance Payment as provided in
Paragraph 4.5.
3.6. TERMINATION UPON DEATH. This Agreement shall be
terminated immediately upon the death of XXXXXXX. Within thirty (30) days
following such termination, the Company shall pay to XXXXXXX'x estate: (i) all
accrued Base Salary and bonuses; and (ii) a sum equal to six (6) months' Base
Salary. In addition, upon the determination of bonuses for the fiscal year in
which XXXXXXX died, the Company shall pay to XXXXXXX'x estate, a prorated bonus
based on the number of days XXXXXXX provided services hereunder during the year
of his death.
3.7. TERMINATION BY XXXXXXX UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL.
XXXXXXX may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice at any
time within eighteen (18) months after the occurrence of a "Change of Control."
Upon such termination, XXXXXXX shall be entitled to the Severance Payment set
forth in Section 4.5 below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
the event XXXXXXX'x employment is terminated in accordance with this Section
3.7, XXXXXXX'x rights under any and all stock option programs or individual
stock option arrangements shall remain in effect and provide XXXXXXX the ability
to exercise any and all stock options vested as of the date of termination
through the remainder of the terms of such options, which termination dates
shall not be accelerated based on the termination of employment.

of either the then outstanding shares of the Company's common stock or the
combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities

agreements prohibiting his performance in full hereunder, or which would subject
the Company to any valid claims for tortious interference.
6. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION.
6.1. CONFIDENTIALITY. XXXXXXX shall not, during the term
of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, divulge, furnish or make accessible

Company and subject to the Company's sole control and will deliver same to the
Company at the termination of his employment, or earlier if so requested by the

8. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. XXXXXXX HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS
THIS AGREEMENT INHIBITS XXXXXXX'X ABILITY TO WORK FOR THE SAME OR SIMILAR KIND
OF BUSINESS FOR A PERIOD OF ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE END OF XXXXXXX'x EMPLOYMENT
WITH THE COMPANY. XXXXXXX acknowledges and confirms that the length of the term
and geographic restrictions contained in this Agreement are fair and reasonable
and not the result of overreaching, duress or coercion of any kind. XXXXXXX
further acknowledges and confirms that his full, uninhibited and faithful
observance of each of the covenants contained in this Agreement will not cause
any undue hardships, financial or otherwise and that enforcement of this
Agreement will not impair XXXXXXX'x ability to obtain employment commensurate
with XXXXXXX'x abilities and on terms fully acceptable to XXXXXXX. XXXXXXX
acknowledges that XXXXXXX will be receiving significant information regarding
the Business which XXXXXXX has not previously received and would not receive
without being employed by the Company. XXXXXXX acknowledges and confirms that
such information would cause the Company serious injury and loss if used by
XXXXXXX for the benefit of a competitor.
9. MATERIAL VIOLATION. A violation of Sections 6 or 7 shall
constitute a material and substantial breach of this Agreement and shall result
in the imposition of the Company's remedies contained in Section 11. XXXXXXX
acknowledges that compliance with the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 are
necessary to protect the goodwill and proprietary interests of the Company and
is a material condition of employment. XXXXXXX acknowledges and agrees that
proof of one such personal solicitation by XXXXXXX of a patient, referral
source, HMO, managed care company, insurance company, supplier or employee,
shall constitute absolute and conclusive evidence that XXXXXXX has substantially
and materially breached the provisions of this Agreement.
10. MATERIAL COVENANTS. It is understood by and between the
parties that the foregoing covenants set forth in Sections 6 and 7 are essential
elements of this Agreement, and that but for the agreement of XXXXXXX to comply
with such covenants, the Company would not have entered into this Agreement.
Such covenants by XXXXXXX shall be construed as agreements independent of any
other provision of this Agreement and the existence of any claim or cause of
action XXXXXXX may have against the Company whether predicated on this Agreement
or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company
of these covenants.

that in the event of a material default or breach under this Agreement:
(a) the Company will suffer irreparable and continuing
damages as a result of such breach and its remedy at law will be inadequate.

addition to any other remedies available to them, the Company shall be entitled
to an injunction restraining any such default or any other appropriate decree of
specific performance, without any requirement to prove actual damages or to post
any bond or any other security and to any other equitable relief the court deems
proper; and
(b) Any and all of the Company's remedies described in
this Agreement shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to any other
remedies which the Company may have at law or in equity including, but not
limited to, the right to monetary damages.

of this Agreement or any part thereof, all of which are inserted conditionally
on their being legally valid. In the event that one or more of the words,
phrases, sentences, clauses, sections, subdivisions, subparagraphs, or articles
are determined to be unenforceable and if such invalidity shall be caused by the
length of any period of time or the size of any area set forth in any part
hereof, such period of time or such area, or both, shall be considered to be
reduced to a period or area which would cure such invalidity.
