WHEREAS, the Board of Trust Managers of the Company has determined, and the undersigned parties hereto agree, that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to amend and restate the Agreement in its entirety as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

2. Compensation. For all services rendered by the Executive under this Restated Agreement, the Executive shall be paid a minimum annual base salary at the annual rate of $425,000 (the “Minimum Rate”). The Minimum Rate may be increased by the Board at its discretion. The annual base salary is payable pursuant to the normal payroll practices of the Company. The Board may consider bonus compensation for the Executive if the performance of the Company and the Executive justifies such bonus compensation.
3. Authorized Expenses. The Executive is authorized to incur reasonable expenses for the promotion of the business of the Company. The Company will reimburse the Executive for all such reasonable expenses upon the presentation by the Executive, from time to time, of an itemized account of such expenditures. The Executive shall be entitled to such additional and other fringe benefits as the Board shall from time to time authorize, including but not limited to: (a) health insurance coverage for the Executive, his wife and dependent children; and (b) a monthly automotive allowance of $550, which the Executive is to use to obtain an automobile to be available for company needs. All operating expenses such as maintenance, insurance and fuel (excluding fuel for company travel) will be the responsibility and expense of the Executive.
4. Extent of Services. The Executive shall devote a substantial portion of business time, attention and energies to the business of the Company, and shall not, during the Executive’s employment with the Company, engage in additional gainful employment of any kind or undertake any role or position, whether or not for compensation, with any person or entity without advance written approval of the Board. This provision is not meant to prevent him from (a) devoting reasonable time to civic or philanthropic activities or (b) investing his assets in such form or manner providing that it does not require any substantial services on the part of the Executive that will interfere with the Executive’s employment pursuant to this Restated Agreement. Executive’s employment is considered as full-time.
5. Working Facilities. The Executive shall be furnished with such facilities and services suitable to his position and adequate for the performance of his duties.
6. Duties. The Executive is employed in an executive and supervisory capacity and shall perform such duties consistent herewith as the Board of the Company shall from time to time specify. The precise services of the Executive may be extended or curtailed, from time to time, at the discretion of the Board of the Company.
7. Disclosure of Information. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the Company’s operating procedures or service techniques are valuable, special and unique assets of the Company’s business. The Executive will not, during or after the term of his employment, disclose the list of the Company’s customer base or service techniques to any person, firm, Company, association or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever. In the event of breach or threatened breach by the Executive of the provisions of this paragraph, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining any such breach. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to the Company for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive.
8. Vacations. The Executive shall be entitled each year to a vacation in accordance with the vacation contract addendum attached hereto.
9. Disability. If the Executive is unable to perform his services by reason of illness or total incapacity, based on standards similar to those utilized by the U.S. Social Security Administration, he shall receive his full salary for one (1) year of said total incapacity through coordination of benefits with any existing disability insurance program provided by the Company (a reduction in salary by that amount paid by any Company provided insurance). Should said Executive be totally incapacitated beyond a one-year period, so that he is not able to devote full time to his employment with said Company, then the Executive’s employment and this Restated Agreement shall terminate.
10. Death During Employment. If the Executive dies during the Executive’s employment with the Company and has not attained the age of seventy years, the Company and/or any third party insurance provided by the Company, through a coordination of benefits, shall pay the estate of the Executive a death benefit equal to two times the Executive’s annual salary. In the event the Executive receives death benefits payable under any group life insurance policy issued to the Company, the Company’s liability under this clause will be reduced by the amount of the death benefit paid under such policy. The Company shall pay any remaining death benefits to the estate of the Executive over the course of twelve (12) months in the same manner and under the same terms as the Executive would have been paid if he had still been working for the Company. No later than one (1) month from the date of death, the estate of the Executive will also be paid any accumulated vacation pay. Such payments pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute the full compensation of said Executive and he and his estate shall have no further claim for compensation by reason of his employment by the Company.
11. Successors and Assigns. The acts and obligations of the Company under this Restated Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company.
12. At-Will Employment. The Executive’s employment with the Company shall be at-will and not for any specified period and may be terminated at any time, with or without Cause (as defined below) and/or advance notice, by either the Executive or the Company subject to the provisions regarding termination set forth below. No representative of the Company, other than the Board, has the authority to alter the at-will employment relationship. Any change to the at-will employment relationship must be by specific, written agreement signed by Executive and the Company’s Board. Nothing in this Restated Agreement is intended to or should be construed to contradict, modify or alter this at-will relationship.
13. Termination Without Cause or Voluntary Resignation on or Before December 31, 2015. In the event that (a) the Executive voluntarily resigns the Executive’s employment with the Company no earlier than twelve (12) months following the Effective Date of this Restated Agreement, but no later than December 31 2015, or (b) the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause on or before December 31 2015, the Executive shall be entitled to receive a severance payment in an amount equal to 2.99 times the average of the Executive’s last three years’ annual compensation calculated as of the termination date, based on the calculation methodology (or definition) in the 2013 proxy statement, however, the amount of any annual equity awards included in the computation would be capped at $25,000 per annum (the “Enhanced Severance Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, and only as an example, if Executive either voluntarily resigns or is terminated without Cause in accordance with this section on June 15, 2015, then the three annual periods for which the ‘last three years’ annual compensation’ would be measured would be equal to (i) June 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013, (ii) June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014, and (iii) June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015. The Enhanced Severance Payment will be less applicable state and federal taxes and withholdings and will be paid out in a lump sum on the 60th day following the
Executive’s termination date. In order to receive the Enhanced Severance Payment, the Executive must execute a full mutual general release in a form that shall be substantively similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, in which Company and Executive shall release all claims, known or unknown, that each may have against the other, arising out of or any way related to the Executive’s employment or termination of employment with the Company, and such release has become effective in accordance with its terms prior to the 60th day following the termination date (“General Release”). This Enhanced Severance Payment shall be in lieu of any other severance or termination pay (including any payments upon death or disability) to which the Executive may be eligible to receive.
14. Termination Without Cause on or After January 1, 2016. To the extent the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause, on or after January 1, 2016, the Executive shall be entitled to receive a severance payment in an amount equal to the Executive’s annual base salary then in effect (the “Standard Severance Payment”). The Standard Severance Payment will be less applicable state and federal taxes and withholdings and will be paid out in a lump sum on the 60th day following the Executive’s termination date. In order to receive the Standard Severance Payment, the Executive must execute a General Release. This Standard Severance Payment shall be in lieu of any other severance or termination pay (including any payments upon death or disability) to which the Executive may be eligible to receive.
15. Termination for Cause by Company. Company may terminate Executive’s employment immediately at any time for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as (a) the Executive’s intentional, unapproved material misuse of corporate funds, (b) the Executive’s professional incompetence (i.e. the intentional refusal to perform or the inability to perform the duties associated with the Executive’s position with the Company in a competent manner, which is not cured within 15 days following written notice to Executive), or (c) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to Executive’s obligations or otherwise relating to the business of Company. In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated in accordance with this Section 15, the Executive shall be entitled to receive only the Executive’s base salary then in effect, prorated to the date of termination and all benefits accrued through the date of termination. All other Company obligations to the Executive pursuant to this Restated Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. Executive will not be entitled to receive the severance payments described in Sections 13 or 14.
16. Resignation by the Executive Within 12 Months Following Effective Date or on or After January 1, 2016. In the event the Executive resigns his employment with the Company within the twelve (12) months following the Effective Date of this Restated Agreement, or on or after January 1, 2016, the Executive shall be entitled to receive only the Executive’s base salary then in effect, prorated to the date of termination and all benefits accrued through the date of termination. All other Company obligations to the Executive pursuant to this Restated Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. Executive will not be entitled to receive the severance payments described in Sections 13 or 14.
17. Equity Incentive. To the extent the Executive is employed by the Company in good standing on January 1, 2016 and the Executive is not entitled to any Disability, Death or severance payments under this Restated Agreement, the Executive shall receive a grant of 300,000 “Restricted Share Awards,” as defined in the PMC Commercial Trust 2005 Equity Incentive Plan or its successors (the “Plan”), which number of Restricted Share Awards shall be adjusted downward to reflect an amount net of withholding taxes which the Company shall pay. (For example, if the withholding tax on the 300,000 shares was an amount equal to the value of 50,000 shares, the Company would provide the Executive with only 250,000 shares and use the cash value of the other 50,000 shares to pay the government the taxes due.) The Restricted Share Awards shall vest immediately upon grant and shall otherwise be governed by the Plan.
18. Application of Section 409A of the Code.
| a. | General. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Restated Agreement comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so as to prevent inclusion in gross income of any amounts payable or benefits provided hereunder in a taxable year that is prior to the taxable year or years in which such amounts or benefits would otherwise actually be distributed, provided or otherwise made available to the Executive. This Restated Agreement shall be construed, administered, and governed in a manner consistent with this intent and the following provisions of this paragraph shall control over any contrary provisions of this Restated Agreement. |
| b. | Restrictions on Specified Executives. If the Company determines that the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and delayed payment of any amount or commencement of any benefit under this Restated Agreement is required to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code, then, to such extent as required, deferred compensation payable hereunder in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment will be delayed and paid, with interest at the short term applicable federal rate as in effect as of the termination date, in a single lump sum six months and one day thereafter (or if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death). The Compensation Committee of the Board shall determine whether the Executive is a “specified employee” based on the procedures adopted by the Company in writing, which procedures shall comply with the applicable limitations under Section 409A of the Code, and the rules prescribed in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(i). |
| c. | Separation from Service. Amounts payable hereunder upon the Executive’s termination or severance of employment with the Company that constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code shall not be paid prior to the Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. |
| d. | Installments. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, any right to a series of installment payments under this Restated Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments so that each payment is designated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. |
| e. | Reimbursements. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Restated Agreement which constitute a payment of nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirements that: (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during an extended period of time following termination of employment; (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred; and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. |
| f. | References to Section 409A. References in this Restated Agreement to Section 409A of the Code include both that section of the Code itself and any guidance promulgated thereunder. |
| g. | Application of Section 409A. The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Restated Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such section. |
19. Indemnification. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Executive harmless from any loss for any Company undertaking, whereby a claim, allegation or cause of action shall be made against the Executive in the performance of his contractual duties except for willful illegal misconduct. Said indemnification shall include but not be limited to reasonable cost incurred in defending the Executive in his faithful performance of contractual duties.
20. Counterparts. This Restated Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
21. Severability. In the event any provision of this Restated Agreement is found to be unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to allow enforceability of the provision as so limited, it being intended that the parties shall receive the benefit contemplated herein to the fullest extent permitted by law. If a deemed modification is not satisfactory in the judgment of such arbitrator or court, the unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.
22. Entire Agreement. This Restated Agreement may only be changed by a written agreement signed by both parties. This Restated Agreement embodies the whole agreement between the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and there are no inducements, promises, terms, conditions or obligations made or entered into by the Company or the Executive other than contained herein. This Restated Agreement supersedes and replaces that certain Executive Employment Contract dated December 11, 2012 between the Company and the Executive.
23. Governing Law. This Restated Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of Texas, without reference to principles of choice of law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Restated Agreement effective as of the Effective Date.
