and XXXXX X. XXXXXX (the "Executive").
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the Executive desires employment as an employee of the Employer,
and the Employer desires to employ the Executive, under the terms and conditions
hereof.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,
the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
ASSOCIATION AND RELATIONSHIP
1.1 Nature of Employment. The Employer hereby employs the Executive and
the Executive hereby accepts employment from the Employer upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
1.2 Full Time Services. The Executive shall devote his full working
time, attention, and services to the business and affairs of the Employer and
shall not, without the Employer's written consent, be engaged during the term of
this Agreement in any other substantial business activity other than normal
investment activities, whether or not such business activity is pursued for
gain, profit, or other pecuniary advantages, that significantly interferes or
conflicts with the reasonable performance of his duties hereunder.
1.3 Duties. During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be
employed by the Employer and shall initially occupy the office of Vice-President
and shall serve as Employer's Treasurer. The Executive agrees to serve in such
offices or positions with the Employer or any subsidiary of the Employer and
such substitute or further offices or positions of substantially consistent rank
and authority as shall, from time to time, be determined by the Employer's board
of directors. The Executive agrees to perform such duties appropriate for an
executive officer of Employer as may be assigned to him from time to time by the
Employer and as described in the Employer's bylaws. The Employer shall direct,
control, and supervise the duties and work of the Executive.
1.4 Satisfaction of Employer. The Executive agrees that he will, at all
times faithfully, promptly, and to the best of his ability, experience, and
talent, perform all of the duties that may be required of him pursuant to the
express and implicit terms hereof. Such duties shall be rendered at Salt Lake
City, Utah, and, on a temporary basis, at such other place or places as the
interests, needs, business, and opportunities of the Employer shall require or
make advisable; provided, however, that Executive shall not be required to move
his residence from Salt Lake City, Utah without the mutual consent of the
Employer and the Executive.
1.5 Compliance with Rules. The Executive shall observe and comply with
the rules and regulations of the Employer respecting its business and shall
carry out and perform orders, directions, and policies of the Employer as they
may be from time to time communicated to the Executive either orally or in
writing. The Executive shall further observe and comply with all applicable
rules, regulations, and laws governing the business of Employer.
1.6 Fees for Services. All income or other compensation generated by
the Executive other than from the Employer for any services performed by him
during the term of this Agreement in connection with the business of the
Employer, including, but not limited to, management fees, consulting fees,
advisory fees, commissions, or similar items, shall belong to the Employer
whether paid to the Employer or to the Executive, either directly or indirectly,
or an affiliate of the Executive. The Executive agrees to remit to the Employer
any such income or other compensation received by him or his affiliates within
ten (10) days after receipt of such income or other compensation. The Executive
agrees, upon request by the Employer, to render an accounting of all
transactions relating to his business endeavors related to the business of the
Employer during the term of his employment hereunder.
ARTICLE II
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
2.1 Compensation. For all services rendered by the Executive pursuant
to this Agreement, the Employer shall compensate the Executive as follows:
(a) Salary. The Executive shall be paid in accordance with the
normal payroll practice of the Employer annual compensation in the amount
of $90,000.
(b) Salary Escalation. At the beginning of each year, the annual
salary payable to the Executive pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above shall
automatically be increased as the board of directors or the designated
compensation committee thereof may deem appropriate, provided however, in
no event shall this annual increase be less than 7.5% of the annual salary
amount for the previous year. In addition, the rate of salary may be
further or otherwise increased at any time and in such amount as the board
of directors or the designated compensation committee thereof may determine
appropriate, based on results of operations, increased activities of the
Employer, or such other factors as the board of directors or the designated
compensation committee thereof may deem appropriate.
(c) Bonus. The Employer shall pay the Executive a cash bonus in the
amount of $100,000 if, prior to the end of the Employer's 1996 fiscal year,
the Employer shall have paid off (with funds other than proceeds from other
debt financing) the revolving loan owed to Bank One Texas, N.A., in the
maximum principal amount of $5,000,000, under the terms of that certain
Loan Agreement dated June 7, 1994. The Employer shall provide the
Executive with additional incentive compensation in the form of cash
bonuses not less often than once each year during the term of this
Agreement. The amount of such bonuses shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the board of directors of the Employer or the designated
compensation committee thereof taking into consideration the growth and
profitability of the Employer, the relative contribution by the Executive
to the business of the Employer, the economy in general, and such other
factors as the board of directors or designated compensation committee
deems relevant.
(d) Other Benefits. The Employer shall additionally provide to the
Executive incentive, retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option,
health, medical, or other employee benefit plans which are consistent with
and similar to such plans provided by the Employer to its employees
generally. All costs of such plans shall be an expense of the Employer and
shall be paid by Employer.
2.2 Continuation of Compensation During Disability. If the Executive is
unable to perform his services by reason of disability due to illness or
incapacity for a period of more than six consecutive months, the compensation
thereafter payable to him during the next succeeding consecutive three-month
period shall be one-half of the compensation provided for in Section 2.1(a)
hereof, and during the following consecutive three-month period shall be one-
fourth of the salary provided for in Section 2.1(a); provided, however, that no
such compensation shall be payable after the termination of this Agreement.
During such initial six consecutive month period of disability, the Executive
shall be entitled to receive incentive compensation at the same annual rate as
incentive compensation, if any, earned with respect to the Employer's fiscal
year last preceding the date such illness or incapacity commenced.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such illness or incapacity does not cease to
exist within the 12 consecutive month period provided herein, the Executive
shall not be entitled to receive any further compensation from the Employer and
the Employer may thereupon terminate this Agreement. For purposes of this
Agreement, the Executive is "disabled" when he is unable to continue his normal
duties of employment, by reason of a medically determined physical or mental
impairment. In determining whether or not the Executive is disabled, the
Employer may rely upon the opinion of any doctor or practitioner of any
recognized field of medicine or psychiatric practice selected jointly by the
Employer and Executive and such other evidence as the Employer deems necessary.
2.3 Working Facilities. The Employer shall provide to the Executive at
the Employer's principal executive offices suitable executive offices and
facilities appropriate for his position and suitable for the performance of his
responsibilities.
2.4 Vacations and Meetings. The Executive shall be entitled each year
to a paid vacation of at least four (4) weeks and to attendance at appropriate
meetings and conventions of such duration and at such time as may be in
accordance with the Employer's policy. Vacations shall be taken by the
Executive at a time and with starting and ending dates mutually convenient to
the Employer and the Executive. Vacations or portions of vacations not used in
one employment year shall carry over to the succeeding employment year, but
shall thereafter expire if not used within such succeeding year.
2.5 Expenses. The Employer will reimburse the Executive for expenses
incurred in connection with the Employer's business, including expenses for
travel, lodging, meals, beverages, entertainment, and other items. The
Executive shall provide the following for all expenses for which the Executive
desires reimbursement:
(a) A report in which the Executive has recorded at or near the time
each expenditure was made: (i) the amount of the expenditure; (ii) the
time, date, place and designation of the type of entertainment, travel or
other expense; (iii) the business reason for the expenditure and the nature
of the business benefit derived or expected to be derived as a result of
the expenditure; and (iv) the names, occupations, addresses and other
information concerning each person who was entertained sufficient to
establish the business relationship to the Employer; and
(b) Documentary evidence (such as receipts or paid bills), which
states sufficient information to establish the amount, date, place and the
essential character of the expenditure, for each expenditure: (i) of
twenty-five dollars ($25.00) or more (except for transportation charges if
not readily available); and (ii) for lodging while traveling away from
home.
2.6 Dues and Club Memberships. The Employer shall assume and pay
reasonable dues of the Executive in local, state, and national societies and
associations, and in such other clubs and organizations, as shall be approved
and authorized by the Employer.
2.7 Payroll Taxes. The Employer shall withhold from the Executive's
compensation hereunder all federal and state payroll taxes and income taxes on
compensation paid to the Executive and shall provide an accounting to the
Executive for such amounts withheld.
ARTICLE III
COVENANT TO NOT DISCLOSE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
3.1 Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" does not apply to information
generally available to the public or to businesses in the oil and gas
exploration and development industry, but otherwise shall mean information in
written or electronic form under the care or custody of Executive as a direct or
indirect consequence of or through his employment with the Employer, including,
but not limited to, the special proprietary and economic information regarding
the business, methods, and operation of the Employer that is designated by the
Employer as "Limited," "Private," or "Confidential" or similarly designated or
for which there is any reasonable basis to be believed is, or which appears to
be, treated by the Employer as confidential.
3.2 Protection of Goodwill. The Executive acknowledges that in the
course of carrying out, performing, and fulfilling his responsibilities to the
Employer, the Executive will be given access to and be entrusted with
Confidential Information relating to the Employer's business. The Executive
recognizes that (i) the goodwill of the Employer depends upon, among other
things, its keeping the Confidential Information confidential and that
unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information would irreparably damage
the Employer; and (ii) disclosure of any Confidential Information to competitors
of the Employer or to the general public would be highly detrimental to the
Employer. The Executive further acknowledges that in the course of performing
his obligations to the Employer he will be a representative of the Employer to
many clients or other persons and, in some instances, the Employer's primary
contact with such clients or other persons, and as such will be responsible for
maintaining or enhancing the business and/or goodwill of the Employer with those
clients or other persons.
3.3 Covenants Regarding Confidential Information. In further
consideration of the employment of the Executive by the Employer and in
consideration of the compensation to be paid to the Executive during his
employment, the Executive hereby agrees as follows:
(a) Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. The Executive will not,
during his employment with the Employer or at any time after termination of
his employment, irrespective of the time, manner, or cause of termination,
use, disclose, copy, or assist any other person or firm in the use,
disclosure, or copying, of any Confidential Information.
(b) Return of Confidential Information. All files, records, documents,
drawings, equipment, and similar items, whether in written or electronic
form, relating to the business of the Employer, whether prepared by the
Executive or otherwise coming into his possession, shall remain the
exclusive property of the Employer and shall not be removed from the
premises of the Employer, except where necessary in carrying out the
business of the Employer, without the prior written consent of the
Employer. Upon termination of the Executive's employment, the Executive
agrees to deliver to the Employer all Confidential Information and all
copies thereof along with any and all other property belonging to the
Employer whatsoever.
ARTICLE IV
ENFORCEMENT OF COVENANTS
4.1 Relief. The Executive agrees that a breach or threatened breach on
his part of any covenant contained in this Agreement will cause such damage to
the Employer as will be irreparable and for that reason, the Executive further
agrees that the Employer shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction
out of any court of competent jurisdiction restraining any further violation of
such covenants by the Executive, his employers, employees, partners, or agents.
The right to injunction shall be cumulative and in addition to whatever other
remedies the Employer may have, including, specifically, recovery of damages.
4.2 Survival of Covenants. Subject to Article V below, in the event the
Executive's employment relationship with the Employer is terminated, with or
without cause, the covenants contained in Article III above shall survive for a
period of one year after such termination.
ARTICLE V
TERM AND TERMINATION
5.1 Term. Except as provided herein, the term of this Agreement shall
be for a period of three (3) years commencing on the Effective Date and shall
automatically be extended for an additional one (1) year upon each anniversary
date of the Effective Date unless otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms
hereof.
5.2 Termination. The Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated
without any breach of this Agreement only under the following circumstances:
(a) Termination for Cause. The Employer shall have the right,
without further obligation to the Executive other than for compensation
previously accrued, to terminate this Agreement for cause ("Cause") by
showing that (i) the Executive has materially breached the terms hereof;
(ii) the Executive, in the determination of the board, has been grossly
negligent in the performance of his duties; (iii) the Executive has
substantially failed to meet written standards established by the Employer
for the performance of his duties; (iv) the Executive has engaged in
material willful or gross misconduct in the performance of his duties
hereunder; or (v) a final non-appealable conviction of or a plea of guilty
or nolo contendere by the Executive to a felony or misdemeanor involving
fraud, embezzlement, theft, or dishonesty or other criminal conduct against
the Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be
deemed to have been terminated for Cause, without (x) reasonable notice to
the Executive setting forth the reasons for the Employer's intention to
terminate for Cause; (y) an opportunity for the Executive, together with
his counsel, to be heard before the full board of directors of the
Employer; and (z) delivery to the Executive of written notice of
termination setting forth the finding that in the good faith opinion of the
board of directors the Executive was guilty of Cause and specifying the
particulars thereof in detail.
(b) Termination upon Death or Disability of the Executive. This
Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the Executive's death or upon
the disability of the Executive after termination of pay as set forth in
Section 2.2.
(c) Termination Upon Change of Control. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive may terminate
this Agreement, but not the covenant not to disclose information set forth
in Article III, upon the happening of any of the following events:
(i) The sale by the Employer of substantially all of its assets
to a single purchaser or to a group of associated purchasers;
(ii) The sale, exchange, or other disposition to a single person
or group of persons under common control in one transaction or series
of related transactions resulting in such person or persons owning,
directly or indirectly, greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
combined voting power of the outstanding shares of the Employer's
common stock;
(iii) More than fifty percent (50%) of the members of the
board of directors of the Employer shall be persons who are neither
nominated for election by the board or an authorized committee of the
board nor elected by the board;
(iv) The decision by the Employer to terminate its business and
liquidate its assets; or
(v) The merger or consolidation of the Employer in a transaction
in which the shareholders of the Employer immediately prior to such
merger or consolidation receive less than fifty percent (50%) of the
outstanding voting shares of the new or continuing corporation.
In the event the Executive does not elect to terminate this Agreement upon
the happening of any of the events noted above, and as a result of such
event, the Employer is not the surviving entity, then the provisions of
this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
surviving or resulting entity. If as a result of the merger,
consolidation, transfer of assets, or other event listed above, the duties
of the Executive are increased, then the compensation of the Executive
provided for in Section 2.1 of this Agreement shall be reasonably adjusted
upward to compensate for the additional duties and responsibilities
assumed.
(d) Termination by Executive for Cause. The Executive shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement in the event of (i) the Employer's
intentional breach of any covenant or term of this Agreement, but only if
the Employer fails to cure such breach within twenty (20) days following
the receipt of notice by Executive setting forth the conditions giving rise
to such breach; (ii) an assignment to the Executive of any duties
inconsistent with, or a significant change in the nature or scope of, the
Executive's authorities or duties from those authorities and duties held by
the Executive as of the date hereof and as increased from time to time; or
(iii) the failure by the Executive to obtain the assumption of the
commitment to perform this Agreement by any successor corporation.
5.3 Termination Payments.
(a) Termination Other than for Cause. In the event that the
Executive's employment is terminated by the Employer during the term hereof
for reasons other than Cause as defined in Section 5.2(a) or the Executive
terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2(c) or Section
5.2(d), the Employer shall:
(i) Pay to Executive all amounts accrued through the date of
termination, any unreimbursed expenses incurred pursuant to Section
2.5 of this Agreement, and any other benefits specifically provided to
the Executive under any benefit plan.
(ii) Pay to Executive an amount equal to one and one-half times
Executive's then current annual salary.
(iii) At the election of Executive, pay to Executive an
amount equal to the number of shares subject to such holder's
unexercised options, whether or not vested, times the amount by which
the "Fair Market Value" of the Employer's common stock exceeds the
exercise price of such options. Fair Market Value shall mean the
closing price for such stock on the close of business on the trading
day last preceding the date of such termination as quoted on a
registered national securities exchange or, if not listed on such an
exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or, if not listed on such an
exchange or included on Nasdaq, the closing price (or, if no closing
price is available from sources deemed reliable by the Company, the
closing bid quotation) for such stock as determined by the Company
through any other reliable means of determination available on the
close of business on the trading day last preceding the date of such
termination. If the Executive elects to receive payment as provided
above for Executive's unexercised options, on payment to the Executive
of the amount due from the Employer, the rights to exercise options
with respect to which he has received payment shall terminate. If
Executive elects not to receive payment as provided above for
Executive's unexercised options, all forfeiture restrictions governing
stock or options held by the Executive shall immediately terminate
and such common stock and shall be fully vested and held free from
forfeiture by the Executive.
(iv) Maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit
of the Executive for the number of years (including partial years)
remaining in the term of employment hereunder, all employee benefit
plans and programs in which the Executive was entitled to participate
immediately prior to the date of termination, provided that the
Executive's continued participation is possible under the general
terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that
the participation of Executive and his family in the Employer's group
health plan and/or life insurance program is barred, the Employer
shall provide the Executive and his family with benefits substantially
similar to those which the Executive would otherwise have been
entitled to receive under such plan and program from which his
continued participation is barred.
(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
aggregate amount of payments made under this Agreement on account of
any termination occurring as a result of a change in control of the
Employer exceed the aggregate present value of three times the "Base
Salary Amount" less $1.00. For purposes hereof, the term "Base Salary
Amount" shall mean the average annualized compensation income from the
Employer in the Executive's gross income for federal income tax
purposes over the five years preceding the year in which the change in
control of the Employer occurred or, in the event Executive has not
been employed by Employer for at least five years, the average of such
annualized compensation income for the number of years that Executive
has been employed by Employee. This paragraph shall be interpreted
consistent with Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and any Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(b) Termination upon Death of the Executive. If the Executive dies
during the term of this Agreement, the Employer shall pay to the estate of
the Executive the following:
(i) All amounts accrued through the date of termination, any
unreimbursed expenses incurred pursuant to Section 2.5 of this
Agreement, and any other benefits specifically provided to the
Executive under any benefit plan; and
(ii) In six equal monthly installments commencing on the first
day of the month immediately following the month in which the
Executive dies, an amount equal to one year's then current salary
provided for in Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement, and payment of the
pro rata portion of the incentive compensation which would have been
payable pursuant to Section 2.1(c), based upon the number of full
months of his employment during the year of his death.
(c) Termination for Cause or Termination by the Executive. If the
Executive terminates this Agreement for any reason other than in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.2(d) of this Agreement, or if the Employer
terminates this Agreement on account of Cause, the Employer shall deliver
to the Executive, within ninety (90) days following the effective date of
such termination, all amounts accrued through the date of termination, any
unreimbursed expenses incurred pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Agreement,
and any other benefits specifically provided to the Executive under any
benefit plan. The Employer shall have no further obligation to Executive.
5.4 Resignation upon Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement
for any reason, the Executive hereby agrees to resign from all positions held in
the Employer or an affiliate of the Employer, including without limitation any
position as a director, officer, agent, trustee or consultant of the Employer or
any affiliate of the Employer.
