Dear Xxxxx:
This letter is to confirm our understanding with respect to your continued employment by XxxxXXX, Inc. (the "Company"). In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, we have agreed, effective November 9, 2006, as follows:
1. Employment.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will employ you, and you will be employed by the Company and/or any Company affiliate (collectively referred to herein as the "Company Group") designated by the Company, initially as President reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors. You will have the responsibilities, duty and authority commensurate with the position of President. You will also perform such other and/or different services for the Company as may be assigned to you from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors.
(b) Devotion to Duties. While you are employed hereunder, you will use your best efforts, skills and abilities to perform faithfully all duties assigned to you pursuant to this Agreement and to devote your full business time and energies to the business and affairs of the Company Group. While you are employed hereunder, you will not undertake any other employment from any person or entity without the prior written consent of the Company.
2. Employment At Will. Your employment hereunder will be on an "at-will" basis and may be terminated by the Company or by you for any reason or for no reason.
3. Compensation.
(a) Base Salary. During the period that you are employed by the Company, the Company will pay you a base salary at the annual rate of $230,000 (the "Base Salary"). The Base Salary will be payable in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company's payroll practices as in effect from time to time. The Company will deduct from each such installment all amounts required to be deducted or withheld under applicable law or under any employee benefit plan in which you participate. You understand and acknowledge that the annualized amount of the Base Salary is set forth as a matter of convenience and does not constitute nor will be deemed to constitute an agreement by the Company to employ you for any specific period of time.
(b) Retroactive Compensation. The Base Salary will be retroactive to February 1, 2006. This Retroactive Compensation will be paid out in conjunction with the Annual Performance Bonus in Section 3(c).
(c) Annual Performance Bonus. You will be entitled to a performance bonus of $70,000 for the calendar year 2006. This bonus will be paid out upon completion of fiscal 2006. Thereafter, you may also be eligible to receive a discretionary, annual bonus, based on (a) whether you achieve performance goals that are identified by the Company from time to time with input from you, and (b) the Company's overall financial performance during that period. The maximum Performance Bonus that you will be eligible to receive will be $70,000.00.
(d) Fringe Benefits. You will be entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans which the Company provides or may establish for the benefit of its executives generally (for example, group life, disability, medical, dental and other insurance, retirement, pension, profit-sharing and similar plans) (collectively, the "Fringe Benefits"), provided that the Fringe Benefits will not include any stock option or similar plans relating to the grant of equity securities of the Company. Your eligibility to participate in the Fringe Benefits and receive benefits thereunder will be subject to the plan documents governing such Fringe Benefits. Nothing contained herein will require the Company to establish or maintain any Fringe Benefits.
(d) Reimbursement of Expenses. Upon presentation of documentation of such expenses reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company will reimburse you for all ordinary and reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses, including parking expenses, that are reasonably incurred by you in furtherance of the Company's business in accordance with the Company's policies with respect thereto as in effect from time to time.
4. Termination. In the event of the termination of your employment hereunder for any reason or for no reason, the Company (a) will pay to you (or to your estate) (i) the portion of your Base Salary that has accrued prior to such termination and has not yet been paid, and (ii) an amount equal to the value of your accrued unused vacation days; and (b) will reimburse you for expenses properly incurred by you on behalf of the Company prior to such termination and properly documented in accordance with Section 3(d) above. Such amounts will be paid promptly after termination. In addition, provided that you are eligible under the terms and conditions of your Stock Purchase Agreement with the Company, as amended, the Company will pay you severance in the manner provided for therein, of an amount equal to twelve (12) months of your Base Salary.
5. Records. Upon termination of your employment hereunder for any reason or for no reason and at any other time requested by the Company, you will deliver to the Company Group any property of the Company Group which may be in your possession, including products, materials, memoranda, notes, records, reports or other documents or photocopies of the same.
6. Insurance. The Company, in its sole discretion, may apply for and purchase key person life insurance on your life in an amount determined by the Company with the Company Group as beneficiary and one or more other policies of insurance insuring your life. You will submit to any medical or other examinations and to execute and deliver any applications or other instruments in writing that are reasonably necessary to effectuate such insurance.
7. Representations. You hereby represent and warrant to the Company that you understand this Agreement, that you enter into this Agreement voluntarily and that your employment under this Agreement will not conflict with any legal duty owned by you to any other party, or with any agreement to which you are a party or by which you are bound, including, without limitation, any non-competition or non-solicitation provision contained in any such agreement. You will indemnify and hold harmless the Company Group and its officers, directors, security holders, partners, members, employees, agents and representatives against loss, damage, liability or expense arising from any claim based upon circumstances alleged to be inconsistent with such representation and warranty.
