effective date of 27 August 2008 (“Master Employment
Agreement”).
|
|

|
As
part of his role as Chief Executive Officer of PureDepth, Inc., the
Employee is to be seconded to PureDepth NZ for periods of
time. During such secondments, the Employee will continue to be

of the Employee. The duties in relation to PureDepth NZ will be
as set out in the First Schedule to this Agreement. PureDepth

changing requirements but will consult the Employee before doing
so. In addition the Employee will be required to carry out
duties not specified in the position description but consistent with the
Employee’s role.
|
|

Fixed
Term Employment
|
|
3.1
|
This
secondment is for a fixed period, and will come to an end in accordance
with this Agreement. When this secondment comes to an
end, the Employee’s fixed term employment with PureDepth NZ will come to
an end, and all terms of the Master Employment Agreement will continue in
force.
|

|
3.2
|
The
secondment and therefore employment with PureDepth NZ is for a limited
duration as the purpose of the secondment is for the Employee to
personally oversee the implementation of the business plan determined by
the Board until the 12 month milestone ending on 31 January
2010.
|
|
3.3
|
The
secondment and therefore employment with PureDepth NZ will expire on
31 January 2010.
|
|
3.4
|
Nothing
within this Agreement prevents the Board of PureDepth, Inc. from
immediately requiring the Employee to attend to or give priority to his
obligations as Chief Executive Officer of PureDepth, Inc. If
the Board of Directors of PureDepth, Inc. and the Employee mutually agree
that the Employee is to be permanently repatriated to the United States of
America (or elsewhere) to carry out his role as Chief Executive Officer of
PureDepth Inc., the secondment, and this Agreement will come to an
immediate end.
|
|
3.5
|
The
parties acknowledge that this secondment is dependent on the Employee
remaining employed as Chief Executive Officer of PureDepth, Inc., subject
to the Master Employment Agreement. If, for any reason, the
Employee’s employment with PureDepth, Inc. is terminated under clause 8 of
the Master Employment Agreement, the secondment, and this fixed term
agreement, will come to an immediate
end.
|
|
3.6
|
Nothing
in this Agreement shall prevent the parties, at or before the expiry of
the agreement, from varying any of its terms, or from entering into a
subsequent employment agreement provided however that nothing in this
clause or elsewhere in this Agreement should be interpreted or understood
to give the Employee any expectation that this Agreement will be renewed,
or that any subsequent agreement will be entered
into.

|
any
tax paid in New Zealand in respect of the Pay of the Employee is applied
to and set off against his United States tax Federal and/or State

and
|
|
6.4.1.2
|
the
net pay (including Pay and any other taxable payment or taxable benefit
pursuant to the Master Employment Agreement) after all taxes paid in New
Zealand and the United States is, following the application of tax paid

time lost through default, sickness or bereavement (where there is no sick

Employee’s specific written
approval.
|
|

In
the event of termination of employment, outstanding annual leave will be

apply during the secondment.
|

20.
|
Termination
of Secondment and Fixed Term
Employment
|
|
20.1
|
Notwithstanding
the fixed term nature of this Agreement, in the event of termination of
this secondment during its term, the following conditions will
apply:
|
|
20.1.1
|
Where
notice is given by either party, it must be in writing and shall be the
period specified in the Second Schedule (except in the case for
redundancy) or less by mutual agreement. If the Employee does
not give the required notice the equivalent amount of salary will be
forfeited.
|
|
20.1.2
|
In
the event of serious misconduct or gross negligence, termination without
notice will occur. PureDepth NZ may suspend the Employee on pay
pending an investigation into any suspected serious misconduct or gross
negligence.
|
|
20.1.3
|
In
the event that the Employee is unable to properly perform his duties under
this Agreement by reason of ill-health, accident or otherwise , the
Employee acknowledges that the secondment, and therefore employment, may
be terminated.
|
|
20.2
|
Where
following notice given in accordance with this Agreement PureDepth NZ does
not require you to work out all or part of the notice period, your
employment will terminate at an earlier date nominated by us, in which
case payment in lieu of the balance of the original notice period will be
made. In this case the employment will be deemed to have ended
and all benefits under this Agreement to have ceased on the last day of
actual performance of work unless we have specifically agreed otherwise in
writing.
|
|
20.3
|
For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that if this Secondment
Agreement is terminated, the Employee’s employment with PureDepth NZ will
terminate, and the terms of the Master Employment Agreement will continue
in force (unless and until the Master Employment Agreement is terminated
in accordance with its terms).
|
|
21.
|
Redundancy
|
|
21.1
|
Notwithstanding
the fixed term nature of this Agreement, if a redundancy situation occurs,
the following clauses shall apply.
|
|
21.2
|
Where,
either:
|
|
|
(a)
|
the
Employee’s position is no longer required,
or
|
|
|
(b)
|
the
Employee’s position or its requirements permanently change to such an
extent that the Employee is unable to fill the position in a manner
satisfactory to PureDepth NZ, then
|
|
|
one
month’s notice of termination of employment will be
given. PureDepth NZ will consult with the Employee with the
objective of exploring possible alternatives to redundancy. The Employee
will become redundant (with employment terminated) at the expiry of the
notice period or such earlier time where the Employer does not require
notice to be worked out unless the parties have both agreed on another
alternative.
|
9
|
21.3
|
In
any case of restructuring where PureDepth NZ’s business, or any part of
it, is sold or contracted out, PureDepth NZ will, during negotiations for
the sale or contracting out, raise with the third party the possibility of
offering the Employee ongoing employment, including consideration as to
whether the Employee may transfer on the same terms and conditions of
employment.
|
|
21.4
|
In
the event that the Employee’s employment is terminated for reasons of
redundancy, no redundancy compensation will be
paid.
|
|
21.5
|
For
the avoidance of doubt, when the Employee’s employment comes to an end by
operation of this fixed term agreement, this shall not constitute a
redundancy and the Employee will not be entitled to notice of
redundancy, or compensation.
|
|
22.
|
Employment
Relationship Problems
|
|
22.1
|
PureDepth
NZ will promote mediation as the primary problem solving mechanism under
this Agreement.
|
|
22.2
|
Employment
relationship problems include:
|
|
|
·
|
A
personal grievance
|
|
|
·
|
A
breach of this Agreement
|
|
|
·
|
A
dispute over the interpretation, application or operation of this
Agreement
|
|
|
·
|
Any
unfair bargaining which leads to this
Agreement
|
|
|
·
|
A
question about whether or not the Employee is an
employee
|
|
|
·
|
Arrears
of wages or holiday pay
|
|
|
·
|
Wrongful
suspension if the Employee is a non-striking
employee.
|
|
22.3
|
If
the Employee considers that he has an employment relationship problem he
should advise PureDepth NZ immediately of the existence and nature of the
problem and let PureDepth NZ know that the Employee wants
something done about it. If the problem is a personal grievance
this must be raised within 90 days of the action causing the
grievance. In some cases this time can be extended and in some
cases the Employee may wish to proceed under the Human Rights Xxx 0000
instead of the Employment Relations Xxx 0000. Once the Employee
has alerted PureDepth NZ to the existence of an employment
relationship problem, the Employee may, if necessary, clarify the nature
of the problem and the outcomes
sought.
|
|
22.4
|
The
parties will then attempt to resolve the matter together. If
the parties are unable to do so either party may request assistance from
the mediation service provided by the Department of Labour. If
the parties are still not able to resolve it, either is entitled to apply
to the Employment Relations Authority (or in certain circumstances the
Employment Court) to make a decision on the matter. If either
party is not happy with a decision of the Employment Relations Authority,
either party is entitled to apply to the Employment Court within 28 days
of that decision to have the matter heard
there.
|
|
23.
|
Misrepresentation
|
|
23.1
|
In
entering into this Agreement PureDepth NZ has relied upon the Employee’s
statements and representations in relation to skills, knowledge and
history. Should the Employee have provided PureDepth NZ with incorrect
information or failed to provide information when required, this may be
regarded as serious misconduct which could lead to
dismissal.
|
10
|
24.
|
Statutory
Provisions/Governing
Law
|
|
24.1
|
This
Agreement includes all terms implied by operation of law or incorporated
by statute or otherwise.
|
|
24.2
|
The
laws of New Zealand shall govern this
Agreement.
