1.2 | Schedules |
The following are the Schedules attached to and incorporated in this Agreement by reference
and deemed to be a part hereof:
Schedule “A” — Position and Responsibilities of the Employee | |||
Schedule “B” — Compensation Schedule and Criteria for Bonus |
2. | Engagement |
(a) | The Company hereby engages the Employee as set out in Schedule “A” and the Employee hereby accepts such engagement by the Company upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. | ||
(b) | Such engagement will commence on the date of this Agreement and will continue until the expiry of the Term or until terminated as hereinafter provided. | ||
(c) | The Employee’s responsibilities, duties and authority shall be as provided in Schedule “A”. |
(d) | The Employee shall be present at and perform his duties at such location or locations set out in Schedule “A” and as mutually agreed between the Employee and the Company, but, recognizing that the position will require a considerable level of travel for promotional activities, the Employee shall be present at and perform his duties in other jurisdictions with such frequency and for such duration as is reasonably necessary for the proper and timely performance of the Employee’s duties hereunder, provided that the Employee must first provide his consent to any relocation of the Employee for a term of greater than three (3) months. However, where a Takeover of Control as described in Section 5(f) occurs and the Employee continues providing services to the Company, the primary location of the Employee’s provision of services shall not be permanently assigned or transferred without his prior consent. | ||
(e) | The Employee shall devote so much of his time to the business and affairs of the Company as provided in Schedule “A” and as mutually agreed upon between the Employee and the Company and shall well and conscientiously serve the Company and use his best efforts to promote the interests of the Company during the continuation of its services hereunder. | ||
(f) | In the event that any person, or any person and its affiliates, as such terms are defined in the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), begins a tender or exchange offer, circulates a proxy to shareholders or takes other steps to effect a takeover of the control of the Company, the Employee agrees that the Employee will not voluntarily leave the employ of the Company, and will render services to the Company in accordance with his position, and in the best interests of the shareholders, until such person has abandoned or terminated efforts to effect a takeover of control of the Company or until such a takeover of control of the Company has occurred. For the purposes of this Agreement, takeover of control shall be evidenced by (i) the acquisition by any person, or by any person and its affiliates, as such terms are defined in the CBCA, and whether directly or indirectly, of common shares of the Company which, when added to all other common shares of the Company at the time held by such person and its affiliates, totals for the first time 50% or more of the outstanding common shares of the Company (ii) the removal, by extraordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Company, of more than 51% of the then incumbent directors of the Company, or the election of a majority of directors to the Company’s board who were not nominees of the Company’s incumbent board at the time immediately preceding such election; or (iii) consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the consummation of a reorganization, merger or other transaction which has substantially the same effect, except where such sale or transaction is for the purpose of financing the construction of a mine (a “Takeover of Control”). | ||
(g) | As used herein voluntary termination by the Employee of his employment with the Company for “Good Cause” means termination after a Takeover of Control of the Company following the occurrence of one of the following events without the Employee’s express written consent: |
(i) | without the written agreement of the Employee, the nature of the duties, requirements and arrangements of the Employee are substantially changed from those set out in Schedule “A” such that the nature of the work that is required to be performed is not work which is consistent with the work ordinarily required to be performed for a position similar to that assumed by the Employee as set out in Schedule “A” for a publicly listed mining company | ||
(ii) | a reduction by the Company in the Employee’s base compensation set out in Schedule “B” as in effect immediately prior to the Takeover of Control; | ||
(iii) | a change in the principal executive office of the Company to a location more than fifty (50) kilometres from the location of the principal executive office of the Company immediately prior to the Takeover of Control; | ||
(iv) | the requirement by the Company that the Employee be based anywhere other than within a fifty (50) kilometre radius of his location immediately prior to the Takeover of Control, except substantially consistent with the Employee’s business travel obligations immediately prior to the Takeover of Control; or | ||
(v) | the failure by the Company to continue in effect, or a change of the Employee’s participation in benefits under any bonus or incentive compensation or benefit plan, any stock ownership, stock purchase, stock option or other equity incentive plan, any life, health, accident, disability or similar plan providing welfare benefits or any plan or program of fringe benefits in which the Employee is participating immediately prior to a Takeover of Control (the “Existing Plans”), the effect of which would be to materially reduce the total value, in the aggregate, of the Employee’s benefits under all the Existing Plans and all amendments thereto and plans substituted therefore, as compared to the Employee’s benefits under the Existing Plans as they existed immediately prior to the Takeover of Control, or the failure by the Company to provide the Employee with the number of paid vacation days to which the Employee is entitled in accordance with the Company’s general vacation policy in effect immediately prior to the Takeover of Control. |
3. | Compensation |
(a) | The Employee will be compensated as provided in Schedule “B”. | ||
(b) | The Company shall deduct from the salary of the Employee the taxes and other source deductions, including the Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance, as required by the Canada Revenue Agency at the time of payment. |
(c) | In addition to the foregoing, the Company will reimburse the Employee in accordance with Schedule “B” for expenses incurred in connection with the business of the Company and any if its subsidiaries. | ||
(d) | The Employee shall submit bills and vouchers reasonably satisfactory to the Board supporting all requests for reimbursement hereunder. | ||
(e) | The Employee is entitled to participate in any pension, stock option, stock purchase, stock appreciation, and health or medical insurance, or other benefit plans or retirement rights from time to time established by the Company and to which employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates are from time to time entitled. | ||
(f) | For so long as the Employee continues to provide services to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, an incentive bonus will be awarded to the Employee at the discretion of the Board following periodic performance reviews as provided in Schedule “B”. | ||
(g) | If the Employee dies during the term of this Agreement, all options which have been granted to that date will vest and become exercisable pursuant to Schedule “B”. |
4. | Holidays |
The Employee will be entitled to three (3) weeks of annual holidays with pay during the term
of this Agreement with none of such holidays to be carried through to the next year. Holidays will
be taken at a time mutually agreed between the Employee and the Company.
5. | Termination |
(a) | The Employee may terminate this Agreement and by giving the Company at least six (6) months prior written notice (the “Employee’s Termination Notice”), provided that the Company shall have the right to give written notice to the Employee that the Company is waiving the full notice period and is permitting this Agreement and the services of the Employee to be terminated upon a date that is less than six (6) months after the date of the Employee’s Termination Notice as determined by the Company and further provided that all salary, benefits and bonuses payable to the Employee hereunder and all other obligations of the Company to the Employee hereunder shall cease upon such termination notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 or any other Section hereof. Any monies owed by the Employee to the Company up to the date of termination shall be then paid by the Employee to the Company. | ||
(b) | The Company may at any time terminate this Agreement and the employment of the Employee without cause. In this event the Company shall be obligated to provide the Employee with a severance payment in lieu of notice. Such severance payment shall be payable on the fifth calendar day following date of the notice of termination (the “Company’s Notice of Termination”) and shall consist of the following amounts: |
(i) | the Employee’s full salary through to the date of termination at the rate in effect at the time the Company’s Notice of Termination was given, plus an amount equal to the amount, if any, of any bonuses previously made to the Employee which have not been paid; | ||
(ii) | in lieu of further salary for periods subsequent to the date of the Company’s Notice of Termination, a severance payment equal to six (6) months of the Employee’s then existing annual salary pursuant to Schedule “B”; and | ||
(iii) | the Employee’s options on shares of the Company shall vest and expire as set out in the Company’s Stock Option Plan. |
Termination of the Agreement in accordance with this Section shall relieve the Company from any and all obligation, liability or claim by the Employee, exclusive of monies owing to the Employee up to the date of termination. | |||
(c) | The Company may at any time terminate the services of the Employee and this Agreement for cause that would in law permit the Company to, without notice, terminate the Employee, in which event the Employee shall not be entitled to a severance payment in lieu of notice as set out in Sections 5(b)(ii) and (iii), and any options granted to the Employee will be immediately terminated. | ||
(d) | Any termination by the Company pursuant to Section 5(b) or (c) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision of this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Employee’s employment in the case of Section 5(c). For purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective without such notice. | ||
(e) | On the termination of his employment for any reason, the Employee agrees to deliver up to the Company all equipment and documents, financial statements, records, plans, drawings and papers of every nature in any way relating to the affairs of the Company and its associated or affiliated companies which may be in his possession or under his control. | ||
(f) | Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5(a), (b) and (c) the parties acknowledge that, given the particular enterprise and business of the Company it is crucial and necessary that the Employee maintains a close relationship with the Board based on mutual loyalty, respect and trust. Accordingly, the Company agrees that the Employee shall have a special right to terminate its engagement with the Company pursuant to this Section for Good Cause (as defined in Section 2(h)) at any time within twelve (12) months of the Takeover of Control of the Company (as defined in Section 2(f)) by giving notice of his resignation in writing to the Board. The notice of resignation pursuant to this Section must be in writing, must cite this Section 5(f)and |
must contain at least one (1) month’s notice and not more than two (2) months notice. The Employee will not receive any payment unless a notice resignation is provided to the Company or a notice of termination is provided to Company. The Employee must exercise this right within twelve (12) months of the Takeover of Control as referred to herein. The Company shall be obligated to provide the Employee with a payment on the fifth calendar day following the earlier of the last calendar day specified in the notice of resignation or the notice of termination, as applicable, pursuant to this Section and the date the Employee actually ceases to be employed by the Company (the “Date of Resignation”) which shall consist of the following amounts: |
(i) | the Employee’s full salary through to the Date of Resignation at the amount of the Employee’s then existing annual salary pursuant to Schedule “B” at the time notice of termination or notice of resignation was given, the amount of any reimbursable expenses pursuant to Schedule “B”, plus an amount equal to the amount, if any, of any bonuses previously made to the Employee which have not been paid, accrued vacation and any other amounts due upon termination or resignation; | ||
(ii) | in lieu of further salary for periods subsequent to the Date of Resignation, a payment equal to twelve (12) the number of months set out in Schedule “B” at the rate of the Employee’s then existing annual salary and incentive bonus pursuant to Schedule “B”.; and | ||
(iii) | subject to Section 5(f)(iv), in lieu of common shares of the Company issuable upon exercise of options, if any, previously granted to the Employee under the Company’s incentive programs and remaining unexercised at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fourth calendar day following the Date of Resignation, which options shall be cancelled upon the payment referred to herein, a cash amount equal to the aggregate difference between the exercise price of all options held by the Employee, whether or not then fully exercisable, and the higher of (i) the average of the closing prices of the Company’s common shares as reported on the Toronto Stock Exchange (or such other stock exchange on which the Company’s shares may be listed) for thirty (30) calendar days preceding the Date of Resignation or (ii) the average price actually paid for the most highly priced one percent (1%) of the Company’s common shares, however and for whatever reason by any person who achieves control of the Company as such term is defined in Section 2(f); and | ||
(iv) | notwithstanding Section 5(f)(iii), the Employee shall have the right, exercisable up to the fourth calendar day following the Date of Resignation, to elect to waive the application of Section 5(f)(iii) following the Date of Resignation. The Employee may exercise this election on or before 5:00 p.m. Toronto time on such fourth calendar day by delivering a notice in writing to the Company of such waiver whereupon: |
(A) | in accordance with the Company’s stock option plan, the Employee’s unvested options on shares of the Company shall immediately vest and the Employee’s vested options on shares of the Company will expire within ninety (90) calendar days of the Date of Resignation; and | ||
(B) | the Company shall be relieved of any obligation in connection with termination of the Employee’s employment to make the payment in Section 5(f)(iii). |
The Employee agrees to accept such compensation in full satisfaction of any and all claims the Employee has or may have against the Company and the Employee agrees to execute and deliver a full and final release in writing of the Company with respect to the same upon payment of said sum, except monies owing by either party to the other up to the Date of Resignation. |
(g) | If the Employee should die during the period of his employment hereunder, termination of his employment shall be deemed to have been effected by the Company and the provisions of Section 5(b) shall apply. In such event, any payment to be made to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid to the legal representatives of the Employee provided the Company has received notice of claim from the Employee’s legal representative within sixty (60) calendar days of the Employee’s death, provided further that any outstanding stock options shall continue to be exercisable by the legal representatives of the Employee. | ||
(h) | The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payments provided for under any paragraph of this Section by seeking other employment or otherwise nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Section be reduced by any compensation earned by the Employee as the result of employment by another employer after the date of termination or otherwise. | ||
