AMENDMENT TO
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
The EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of May 3, 2000, by and
between Prime Retail, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Prime"), and the sole
general partner of Prime Retail, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Operating Partnership"), and Xxxx Xxxxxx (the "Executive"), is hereby amended
by this Amendment, effective April 2, 2001, in the following respects:
1. Section 3(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(b) PERFORMANCE BONUS.
In addition to the Base Salary, Executive shall have the right to
receive, and the Company agrees to pay to Executive, a performance
bonus for each calendar year during the Term of this Agreement, in
such amounts as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine
(the "Performance Bonus"). If the Board, either directly or through
the Committee, establishes performance measures for senior officers
(which term is intended to include Executive), those established
criteria will be used to determine Executive's entitlement to a
Performance Bonus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Agreement obligates the Board to establish such performance measures,
and the lack of established performance measures will not constitute a
breach of this Agreement in any manner. In lieu of established
performance measures, the Board will determine Executive's Performance
Bonus solely in its discretion. The parties hereto acknowledge that
any corporate or individual performance objectives established
pursuant to this Section 3(b) will be determined prior to, or as soon
as possible after, the beginning of each calendar year and that such
objectives may objectively be met by Executive. The aggregate
Performance Bonus for a calendar year payable in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3(b) is expected to be up to 100% or more
of the Base Salary for such calendar year. Further, Executive shall
only be entitled to receive a Performance Bonus for a calendar year if
Executive has been and continues to be retained by the Company as an
executive officer of the Company for the full calendar year or if (i)
the Company terminates Executive's employment without Cause (as
defined below), (ii) Executive terminates his employment for Good
Reason (as defined below), (iii) Executive terminates his employment
for any reason simultaneously with, or within six months following, a
Change of Control, or (iv) if Executive does not terminate his
employment simultaneously with, or within six months following, a
change of control, and Executive's employment ends for any reason
within 24 months following a Change of Control. Any amount of
Performance Bonus required to be paid to Executive for a calendar year
during the Term of this Agreement shall be paid by the Company to
Executive during the pay period of the Company following finalization
of the audit for such calendar year and final review and approval of
the bonus calculation by the Committee, and, in all events, on or
before March 31 of the year immediately following the end of the
calendar year for which such Performance Bonus is attributable.
2. Section 4(d) of the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(d) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE OF CONTROL.
If (i) Executive terminates this Agreement for any reason simultaneously
with a Change of Control (in which event notice under Section 2 above shall
not be necessary and the termination payments to be made under Sections
4(d)(1), 4(d)(2) and 4(d)(3) shall be paid simultaneously with, and as a
part of, the Change of Control), (ii) within six (6) months following a
Change of Control Executive terminates this Agreement for any reason,
subject to the notice provisions of Section 2 hereof, or (iii) within 24
months following a Change of Control, the Company terminates this Agreement
during its original term other than for Cause or Executive terminates this
Agreement during its original term with Good Reason, the Company shall pay
Executive (and Executive's eligible dependents with respect to paragraph
(D) below) the following benefits and payments:
(1) all accrued but unpaid amounts of Base Salary and vacation through
the effective date of termination, payable in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 3(a) and 3(d) above;
(2) a termination payment in an amount equal to the product of (x) the
number of full and partial years remaining in the Original Term (or,
if greater, 2 years) and (y) the One-Year Pay Equivalent, which amount
shall be payable within thirty (30) days of the effective date of
termination;
(3) any vested benefits or amounts pursuant to Section 3(c), 3(e),
3(f) and 3(g) hereof through the effective date of termination,
payable in accordance with the provisions of any such plan(s); and
(4) the health insurance benefits described in Section 3(c)(1) above
for the maximum period permitted under COBRA at the Company's sole
expense, together with either (i) additional benefits equivalent to
those in effect at the date of termination, such that Executive will
receive Company-paid coverage for a total of 24 months or (ii) if
providing such benefits is not permitted by the tax laws or applicable
benefit plans, the after-tax equivalent of the premiums paid by the
Company for such coverage.
3. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts which taken
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
