Management Fees

4.1. Base Fee.

(a) As consideration for the Manager engaging the Employees to perform the Management Activities pursuant to this Agreement and as consideration for the Manager’s, Xxxxx’x and Xxxxxxx’ agreement not to solicit, the Company agrees to pay the Manager an annual amount (the ‘‘Base Fee’’), which shall be computed according to the following chart and shall be subject to reduction in the event of the death or Disability of either of the Employees, as provided in Section 4. 1 (b) hereof.

	Annual Base Fee
	(before reduction, if any,
Year	pursuant to Section I 1 (b))
1	$	500,000
2	570,000
3	580,000
4	601,000
5	622,000
6	643,000
7	665,000
8	687,000
9	719,000

The annual Base Fee shall be payable in substantially equal monthly installments, on the last business day of each month during which this Agreement remains in effect or as otherwise provided in Section 3.1(c). The foregoing notwithstanding, the monthly Base Fees due hereunder shall be prorated based on the actual number of days during which this Agreement is in effect during the first and last months of the term of this Agreement.

The Manager shall pay all salaries and benefits of the Employees and other employees of Manager, including without limitation payroll taxes, health and life insurance, entertainment not constituting ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred for the benefit of the Company, club dues, automobiles of Employees and costs of repairs, gas and oil related thereto, and other costs not directly attributable to the Parking Operations. To the extent they are eligible to participate, the Employees shall be afforded the right to participate, at the Manager’s cost, in any group health and/or life insurance benefit plans the Company provides its Senior Vice Presidents. The Company shall bear the cost of ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by the

Manager in connection with and for the benefit of the Company in accordance with its business expense reimbursement policy in effect from time to time from its Senior Vice Presidents.

(b) The Manager acknowledges and agrees that payment of the Base Fee pursuant to Section 4. I (a) is dependent upon the continued performance of the Management Activities by both of the Employees. Therefore, the Manager agrees that the Base Fee may be reduced as set forth in this Section 4.1(b). If, during the term of this Agreement, either Employee dies or becomes Disabled, the Base Fee otherwise required by Section 4. 1 (a) shall be reduced by an annual amount equal to $162,500 or, if death or Disability occurs after calendar year 1998, by an annual amount equal to $162,500 increased at the rate of 3% per year compounded annually beginning in 1999 and through the year in which death or Disability occurs. Such reduction shall be effective on the date of such death or Disability, and the amount of such reduction shall be prorated as of such date for such year. If an Employee ceases to have a Temporary Disability, then such reduction shall cease on the date such Employee resumes providing Management Activities, and the amount of such reduction shall be prorated as of such date for such year.

4.2. Incentive Fee. In addition to the Base Fee set forth in Section 4.1 hereof, the Manager shall be entitled to an annual ‘‘Incentive Fee’’ for as long as at least one of the Employees continues to perform services under this Agreement. The Incentive Fee shall be equal to the Applicable Percentage (as hereinafter defined) of the annual Operating Profits generated by all the Parking Operations and the Outside Activities in excess of a Base Amount (as hereinafter defined). In the event either one of the Employees ceases to perform services hereunder, the Incentive Fee payable pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%). The ‘‘Applicable Percentage’’ with respect to the Incentive Fee for the first five (5) years of the term of this Agreement shall be twelve percent (12%); for all years thereafter during which this Agreement remains in effect the Applicable Percentage shall be seven percent (7%). The foregoing notwithstanding, if both of the Employees have delivered notice (the ‘‘Notice’’) to the Company not less than ninety (90) days before the fifth anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, terininating any and all rights they may have to be granted any additional stock options with respect to stock of the Company, the Applicable Percentage shall remain at twelve percent (12%) for the term of this Agreement; provided, however, that any unexercised stock options granted to the Employees prior to the date of such Notice shall continue to be exercisable under the terms, including vesting provisions, as in effect prior to the date of Notice.

For purposes of calculating the Incentive Fee, the ‘‘Base Amount’’ shall initially be equal to the Operating Profits of Executive Parking for calendar year 1997, increased by (i) fees in excess of $500,000 paid by Executive Parking during calendar year 1997 under the Prior Management Agreement and (ii) the amount of any management fees paid by Executive Parking to the Company for calendar year 1997. The Base Amount shall be adjusted thereafter as necessary to reflect the impact of Subsequent Acquisitions. The Adjustments (as defined below) resulting from any given Subsequent Acquisition shall be determined by the Company within sixty (60) days after the end of the first full calendar year following the calendar year in which that Subsequent Acquisition closes. Such Base Amount, including Adjustments, shall thereafter be used to calculate the Incentive Fee until ftirther Adjustments are made to the Base Amount

resulting from additional Subsequent Acquisitions. The ‘‘Adjustments’’ shall include, but not be limited to:

(a) Increases to the Base Amount for the following items:

                                                (1)           the Operating Profits of the Parking Services of the Subsequent Acquisition
                                                for the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which the Subsequent
                                                Acquisition closes;

                                                (2)           the annual reduction in expenses of the Subsequent Acquisition resulting
                                                from the elimination of duplicative operations through the Company’s operation of the
                                                acquired Parking Services;

(3) the annual reduction in salary expense attributable to the elimination of
positions attributable to the Subsequent Acquisition;

                                                (4)           any extraordinary, non-recurring items of expense or expenses which are not
                                                ordinary and necessary with respect to the Parking Services of the Subsequent
                                                Acquisition for the fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which the
                                                Subsequent Acquisition closes; and

                                                (5)           such other items as determined by the Company in its sole and good faith
                                                discretion, which result in a reduction in annual expenses and which are attributable to
                                                operation of the Parking Services on a basis consistent with the Company’s
                                                established practices.

(b) Decreases to the Base Amount in an amount, to be determined in good faith by the Company, and the Employees, which accounts for the negative impact, if any, of a Subsequent Acquisition on the financial performance of the Parking Operations in the Region.

The Incentive Fee shall be payable in one single sum within seventy five (75) days after the end of each calendar year during the term of this Agreement. For any calendar year in which one or more Subsequent Acquisitions close (an ‘‘Acquisition Year’’), the Incentive Fee shall initially be determined and paid as if the Subsequent Acquisition(s) had not occurred. Thereafter, once the Adjustments for such Subsequent Acquisition(s) are determined (in the manner and within the time set forth above), the Company shall recalculate the Incentive Fee separately for each portion of such Acquisition Year occurring before and after the closing of the Subsequent Acquisition(s) based upon a proration of Operating Profits and the Base Amount for each portion of such Acquisition Year. In calculating the Incentive Fee for that portion of such Acquisition Year following the closing of a Subsequent Acquisition, (i) Operating Profits shall include the actual Operating Profits derived from the Subsequent Acquisition during such period, and (ii) the Base Amount shall include a proration of the Adjustments resulting from the Subsequent Acquisition. The Incentive Fee so determined, less any amounts previously paid in regard thereto, shall be paid immediately to the Manager, or the Manager shall refund immediately to the Company any overpayment. The Incentive Fee shall be prorated for any

given calendar year during the term of this Agreement which is less than twelve (12) full calendar months.

The foregoing may be illustrated by the following example: assume that a Subsequent Acquisition occurs on September 1, 1999, and that Operating Profits and the Base Amount (excluding the Subsequent Acquisition) for 1999 are $1,000,000 and $750,000, respectively. Prior to March 1, 2000, the Company would pay Manager an Incentive Fee for 1999 equal to $30,000 ($1,000,000 - $750,000 X 12% = $30,000).

Assume ftu-ther that before March 1, 2001, it is determined that the Operating Profits derived from the Subsequent Acquisition for the period from September 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999 were $100,000 and the Adjustments to the Base Amount total $300,000 (i.e. the new Base Amount would become $1,050,000). The Incentive Fee for 1999 would be recalculated as follows:

1. Determine Incentive Fee for portion of 1999 occurring prior to Subsequent Acquisition (i.e. l/l/99 through 8/31/99 = 8/12 or 3/4):

(a) Operating Profits equals $750,000 ($1,000,000 X 3/4 = $750,000);

(b) Base Amount equals $562,500 ($750,000 X 3/4 = $562,500);

PLUS

2. Determine Incentive Fee for portion of 1999 occurring from Subsequent Acquisition (i.e. 9/l/99 through 12/31/99 = 3/12 or 1/4):

(a) Operating Profits equals $350,000 ($1,000,000 X 1/4 + $100,000 = $350,000);

(b) Base Amount following Adjustments equals $262,500 ($750,000 X 1/4 = $187,500), plus $300,000 X 1/4 = $75,000 ($187,500 + $75,000 =$262,500);

3. Recalculated Incentive Fee for 1999 equals $33,000 (total from 1(c) and 2(c) above).

4. Net amount due Manager for 1999 equals $3,000.

4.3. Stock Option or Other Similar, Benefit Plan. The Manager (or at the Company’s election, the Employees), shall be granted options to purchase stock of the Company under the Company’s stock option plan or stock appreciation rights plan, or other similar benefits afforded under a Company sponsored plan if and when adopted by the Company. The options or

other similar benefits, if any, shall be granted in amounts and on terms consistent with option grants or other similar benefits granted to the Company’s Senior Vice Presidents generally, provided, however, that if only officers at a level higher than Senior Vice Presidents are granted such stock options or similar benefits, the Mangers (or the Employees) shall be granted options or similar benefits in a quantity equal to the next higher level of officers above Senior Vice Presidents that are granted such benefits. To the extent that the terms such stock option or similar plan is not available to consultants of the Company, then the Company will convert the economic benefits of this Agreement to employment terms which qualify the Employees for such plan and which are substantially equivalent to the economic benefits afforded under this Agreement.

The Manager and each Employee ftirther acknowledge that the business of owning, managing and/or operating parking lots, parking garages and/or parking concessions is a highly competitive and unique business and that there are relatively few firms engaged in these businesses in the Region. The Manager and each Employee recognize and acknowledge that as a result of the Manager’s engagement by the Company and the Manager’s and the Employees’ prior relationships with S&S, the Manager and each of the Employees has had and will continue to have access to confidential information and trade secrets of the Company that constitute proprietary information that the Company is entitled to protect, which information constitutes special and unique assets of the Company, including without limitation (i) information relating to the Company’s manner and methods of doing business; (ii) the identity of the Company’s clients, customers, lessors and locations; (iii) the specific confidential terms of management agreements, leases and other business agreements, including without limitation the duration thereof and the fees, rent and other payments due thereunder; (iv) the identities of beneficiaries under land trusts; (v) the business, developments, activities or systems of the Company, including without limitation any marketing or customer service oriented programs in the development stages or not otherwise known to the general public; (vi) information concerning the business affairs of any individual or firm doing business

with the Company; (vii) financial data pertaining to any parking facility owned, operated, leased or managed by the Company or for which the Company has provided or is providing consulting services; and (viii) other confidential information and trade secrets relating to the operation of the Company’s business (the matters described in this sentence hereafter referred to as the ‘‘Trade Secrets’’). With respect to the Trade Secrets, and except as may be required by the lawful order of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Manager and each Employee shall:

(a) hold all Trade Secrets in strict confidence and not publish or otherwise disclose any portion thereof to any person whatsoever except with the prior written consent of the Company;

(b) use all reasonable precautions to assure that the Trade Secrets are properly protected and kept from unauthorized p ersons;

(c) make no use of any Trade Secrets except as is required in the performance of the Manager’s duties for the Company; and

(d) upon termination of the Manager’s engagement by the Company or upon termination of the services of either Employee by the Manager, whether voluntary or involuntary and regardless of the reason or cause therefor, or upon the request of the Company, promptly return to the Company any and all documents, and other things relating to the Trade Secrets, all of which are and shall remain the sole property of the Company. The term ‘‘documents’’ as used in the preceding sentence shall mean all forms of written or recorded information and shall include, but shall not be limited to, all accounts, budgets, compilations, computer records and disks, contracts, correspondence, data, diagrams, drawings, financial statements, memoranda, notes, notebooks, marketing or other plans, printed materials, records and reports, as well as any and all copies, reproductions or summaries thereof

5.2. Assignment of Property Rights. The Manager and each of the Employees agree to assign to the Company any and all intellectual property rights, including without limitation patents, trademarks, copyright and business plans or systems developed, authorized or conceived by the Employees or any other employees of the Manager while so engaged and relating to the business of the Company, and Manager and each of the Employees agree to cooperate with the Company’s attorneys to perfect ownership rights thereof in the Company. This Agreement does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on the Managers or Employees’ own time, unless (i) the invention relates either to the business of the Company or to actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company, or (ii) the invention results from any work performed by the Employees or the Manager for the Company.

5.3. Injunctive Relief. In the event of any breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 5 or in Section 2.3(b), the Parties agree that monetary damages will be difficult to determine and for that reason, they agree that the Company will be irreparably damaged in the event that this Section 5.3 is not specifically enforced. Should any dispute arise concerning any alleged breach by the Manager or either Employee of this Section 5 or Section 2.3(b), the Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition to all other rights and remedies existing in

its favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof. Such remedy shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other remedy which the Company may have, including the recovery of damages.

The Manager and each of the Employees agree that the restrictions in this Section 5.3 are reasonable protections under the circumstances of the transactions as contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and in this Agreement. In the event that the agreements found in this Section 5.3 are found to exceed any applicable limitations as to their enforceability, the Parties intend that the scope of such agreements shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess and that such agreements, as so reduced in scope, will be fully enforceable.
