EXHIBIT 10HH-1
AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 19th day of November,
2001, by and between BellSouth Corporation, a Georgia corporation ("Company"),
and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx ("Executive"):
REASONS FOR THIS AGREEMENT. Company has identified Executive as an
individual with significant skills and experience critical to the business of
Company. In view of the significant and growing demand for executive talent, the
potential impact on Company's executives of the transformational changes
occurring within our industry and company, and the need to ensure continuity of
Company's senior executive team, Company desires to provide Executive through
this Agreement with certain incentives to remain in Company's employment. This
Agreement is also designed to impose certain reasonable restrictions on
Executive's activities designed to protect Company's interests should
Executive's employment terminate.
Executive has been employed by Company and its Affiliated Companies
since 1971 and, during his tenure, has served in a variety of senior capacities.
Executive assumed his current position as Chief Financial Officer in 1995.
Executive is responsible for all financial matters and investor relations for
Company and all Affiliated Companies and reports to Company's Chairman.
Executive acknowledges that Company and Affiliated Companies have
disclosed or made available Confidential Information to Executive which could be
used by Executive to Company's or Affiliated Companies' detriment. In addition,
in connection with his employment, Executive has developed important
relationships and contacts with employees valuable to Company and Affiliated
Companies.
Executive further acknowledges that the covenant not to compete and
other restrictive covenants in this Agreement are fair and reasonable, that
enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement will not cause him undue
hardship, and that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonably necessary and
commensurate with the need to protect Company and Affiliated Companies and their
business interests and property from irreparable harm.
Executive and Company have previously entered into an agreement dated
October 26, 2000 (the "Prior Agreement"). Executive and Company now desire to
replace the Prior Agreement with this Agreement (except to the extent expressly
provided in Section 1 of this Agreement).
AGREEMENT. In consideration of the mutual promises contained in this
Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, Executive and Company agree as follows:
1. PRIOR AGREEMENT. Executive and Company agree and acknowledge
that, upon execution of this Agreement, this Agreement supercedes the Prior
Agreement in all respects,
except for the terms of Section 1 of the Prior Agreement (regarding a grant to
Executive of Restricted Shares, which Restated Shares Award is amended, however,
in part in Section 3 of this Agreement).
2. TERMINATION BEFORE 2004. In the event Executive's employment
is terminated on or before December 31, 2003, under circumstances described
below in this Section 2, Company shall pay to Executive a termination allowance.
The termination allowance shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i) two hundred
percent (200%) of Executive's Base Salary in effect on the date of Executive's
termination of employment, plus (ii) two hundred percent (200%) of the standard
award amount applicable to Executive under the BellSouth Short Term Incentive
Award Plan ("STIAP") for the year in which his date of termination occurs, less
all applicable withholdings, payable in a single lump sum payment. Payment of
the termination allowance shall be made as soon as practicable following
Executive's termination of employment under circumstances entitling him to such
payment, and satisfaction of all conditions described in this Agreement on
Executive's entitlement to such payment.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Base Salary" shall refer to the gross
annual base salary payable to Executive including (i) the amounts of any
before-tax contributions made by Executive from such salary to the BellSouth
Retirement Savings Plan, or any other tax-qualified cash or deferred arrangement
sponsored by Company, and (ii) the amount of any other deferrals of such salary
under any nonqualified deferred compensation plan(s) maintained by Company.
Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated under
circumstances described in this Section 2 only if all of the following
conditions are satisfied:
(A) Executive's employment is terminated either (1) by
Company, other than for Cause, or (2) by Executive
for Good Reason; and
(B) Executive executes a release satisfying the terms of
Section 5(b) of this Agreement; and
(C) Executive executes an agreement regarding competition
with Company and Affiliated Companies satisfying the
terms of Section 8(b) of this Agreement; and
(D) Executive is not transferred to or reemployed by an
Affiliated Company.
3. RESTRICTED SHARES AWARD. If Executive remains actively
employed by Company or an Affiliated Company (or a successor to any such entity)
through December 31, 2003, the Restricted Shares Award described in Section 1 of
the Prior Agreement shall be 100% vested on December 31, 2003, notwithstanding
the vesting scheduled described in the Restricted Shares Award Agreement
(described in the Prior Agreement).
-2-
4. SPECIAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS. If Executive retires between
January 1, 2004 and June 30, 2004, on a date selected by Company, Executive
shall be entitled to the special retirement benefits described in this Section
4.
(a) SERP BENEFIT. Upon retirement as described above in this
Section 4, Executive shall be entitled to benefits under SERP equal to the
greater of:
(i) an aggregate annual benefit based on (A) sixty
percent (60%) of "Included Earnings" (as such term is
defined in SERP), instead of the formula described in
section 4.4(a)(i)(A) of SERP, and (B) no early
retirement discount, instead of the otherwise
applicable early retirement discount described in
section 4.4(c) of SERP; and
(ii) the benefits provided to Executive under SERP without
regard to this Section 4(a).
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4(a), all other terms and
conditions of SERP shall govern Executive's entitlement to benefits thereunder.
In the event SERP shall be amended or restated or redesigned, benefits payable
with respect to Executive under such amended, restated or redesigned plan shall
include a benefit enhancement designed to approximate as nearly as reasonably
possible the SERP benefit enhancement described in this Section 4(a).
(b) RETIREMENT ALLOWANCE. Upon retirement as described above in
this Section 4, and satisfaction of the conditions described in this Section
4(b), Company shall pay to Executive a retirement allowance. The retirement
allowance shall be an amount equal to the sum of (i) two hundred percent (200%)
of Executive's Base Salary in effect on the date of Executive's retirement, plus
(ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the standard award amount applicable to
Executive under STIAP for the year in which his retirement occurs, less all
applicable withholdings, payable in a single lump sum payment. Payment of the
retirement allowance shall be made as soon as practicable following Executive's
retirement under circumstances entitling him to such payment, and satisfaction
of all conditions described in this Agreement on Executive's entitlement to such
payment.
Executive shall be entitled to the retirement allowance described in
this Section 4(b) if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(A) Executive executes a release satisfying the terms of
Section 5(b) of this Agreement; and
(B) Executive executes an agreement regarding competition
with Company and Affiliated Companies satisfying the
terms of Section 8(b) of this Agreement; and
-3-
(C) Executive is not transferred to or reemployed by an
Affiliated Company.
5. DISCHARGE AND WAIVER. (a) Executive fully releases and forever
discharges Company and Affiliated Companies, and any employee, officer,
director, representative, agent, successor or assign of Company and Affiliated
Companies (both in their personal and official capacities), and all persons
acting by, through and under or in concert with any of them, from any and all
claims, demands, causes of action, remedies, obligations, costs and expenses of
whatever nature, whether under the common law, state law, federal law (including
but not limited to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967) or
otherwise, through the date of this Agreement, including those arising from or
in connection with the terms and conditions of employment with Company (and
Affiliated Companies). This paragraph is not intended to and shall not affect
benefits to which Executive may be entitled under any pension, savings, health,
welfare, or other benefit plan in which Executive is a participant.
(b) Furthermore, Company's obligations under this Agreement upon
termination of Executive's employment, and Executive's entitlement to any such
benefits, are expressly conditioned upon execution by Executive, upon
termination of his employment, of a release agreement substantially in the form
of the release agreement attached to this Agreement as Exhibit "A," which is
incorporated herein by this reference.
6. COVENANT NOT TO XXX. Executive covenants and agrees not to
make or file any claim, demand or cause of action or seek any remedy of whatever
nature, whether under the common law, state law, federal law or otherwise,
arising from or in connection with the matters discharged and waived in Section
5, above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Executive files a charge
or lawsuit under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ("ADEA") and
thereby challenges the validity of the release described in Section 5, such
charge or lawsuit will not be considered a breach of this Section 6.
7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Executive agrees to protect
Confidential Information. Executive will not use, except in connection with work
for Company or Affiliated Companies, threaten to use, disclose or threaten to
disclose, give or threaten to give to others any Confidential Information. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean information,
whether generated internally or externally, relating to Company's business or to
Affiliated Companies' businesses which derives economic value, actual or
potential, from not being generally known to other Persons and is the subject of
efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy or
confidentiality, including, but not limited to, studies and analyses, technical
or nontechnical data, programs, patterns, compilations, devices, methods, models
(including cost and/or pricing models and operating models), techniques,
drawings, processes, employee compensation data, and financial data (including
marketing information and strategies and personnel data). For purposes of this
Agreement, Confidential Information does not include information which is not a
trade secret three (3) years after termination of Executive's
-4-
employment with Company, but shall continue to include trade secrets as long as
information remains a trade secret under applicable law.
8. LIMITATION ON COMPETITION. (a) In consideration of the
payments and other rights and benefits that are being provided to Executive
under this Agreement, while employed by Company or an Affiliated Company, and
during the period of eighteen (18) months after the termination of such
employment, Executive agrees not to provide services (as more fully described in
the third paragraph of this Section 8) in competition with Company or any
Affiliated Company to any person or entity which provides products or services
identical to or substantially similar to products and services provided by
Company or Affiliated Companies in the same business market(s), whether as an
employee, consultant, independent contractor, advisor or director, within the
Territory.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Territory" shall mean the
territory in which Executive provides services to Company and Affiliated
Companies, consisting of those portions of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, and those
additional markets listed on Exhibit "B" attached hereto and incorporated herein
by this reference, in which Company or Affiliated Companies are engaged in
business as of the date of this Agreement. Executive agrees that because of the
widespread nature of Company's business, breach of this Agreement by engaging in
competitive activity anywhere in this broad Territory would irreparably injure
Company or Affiliated Companies and that, therefore, a more limited geographic
restriction is neither feasible nor appropriate.
The services which Executive has provided to Company and Affiliated
Companies, and which Executive shall be prohibited from providing in competition
with Company or Affiliated Companies in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall be financial management, planning, administration, strategic
planning, and advisory services with respect to the communications services
business, including without limitation all forms of wireline (including without
limitation local exchange, exchange access and intraLATA toll)
telecommunications services, systems and products, all forms of wireless
(including without limitation cellular, personal communications service, and
mobile data) communications services, systems and products, all forms of
electronic commerce or communications including internet and other web based
applications, data transmission and networking, entertainment services, systems
and products, paging services, systems and products, and advertising and
publishing, to the extent engaged in by Company and Affiliated Companies on the
date of this Agreement.
Executive represents to Company that Executive's education, training
and experience are such that this covenant not to compete will not jeopardize or
significantly interfere with Executive's ability to secure other gainful
employment.
(b) After Executive's termination of employment, Company's
obligation to provide any of the benefits, entitlements or payments described in
this Agreement or in the Restricted Shares Award Agreement are expressly
conditioned upon execution by Executive of an
-5-
agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Company, and
reflecting terms substantially identical to the terms of Section 8(a) of this
Agreement updated, however, to reflect, as of the date of Executive's
termination of employment, (i) the products and services provided by Company and
Affiliated Companies, (ii) the territory in which such products and services are
provided by Company and Affiliated Companies, and (iii) the nature of the
services provided, and activities engaged in, by Executive, on behalf of Company
and Affiliated Companies. Upon execution of such agreement, the provisions of
Section 8(a) of this Agreement shall thereafter be void.
(c) In the event that Executive either (i) fails or refuses to
execute an agreement satisfying the terms of Section 8(b) of this Agreement
following his termination of employment, or (ii) fails to comply with the terms
of Section 8(a), the agreement described in Section 8(b), or Section 9 of this
Agreement, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to
Company and Affiliated Companies under this Agreement or at law or in equity:
(A) all amounts otherwise payable by Company or an
Affiliated Company to (or on behalf of) Executive
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for periods
subsequent to the date of termination of employment,
with regard to clause (i) above, or the date of such
failure, with regard to clause (ii) above, as the
case may be, shall be forfeited and Company and
Affiliated Companies shall cease to be under any
further obligation to Executive with respect to the
compensation and benefits described in this
Agreement;
(B) Executive shall refund to Company promptly any and
all amounts previously paid to or on behalf of
Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for
periods subsequent to the occurrence of any event
described in clause (ii) above of this Section 8(c);
and
(C) Executive shall promptly return to Company all shares
of Company's common stock delivered to Executive
pursuant to the Restricted Shares Award plus, if any
of such shares shall have been previously disposed
of, a cash amount equal to the proceeds from such
disposition (or the fair market value of such shares
on the date of such disposition, if disposed of for
less than fair market value).
9. LIMITATION ON SOLICITATION OF COMPANY PERSONNEL. In
consideration of the payments and other rights and benefits that are being
provided to Executive under this Agreement, during the period of eighteen (18)
months after his termination of employment, Executive will not, directly or
indirectly, induce or solicit any employee or other personnel, director, advisor
or independent contractor of Company or any Affiliated Company to sever his or
its relationship with Company or the Affiliated Company, or recruit or attempt
to recruit such parties to enter into a similar relationship with another
business; provided, however, that this
-6-
restriction shall apply only to parties with whom Executive had material contact
within eighteen (18) months prior to the termination of such employment.
However, Executive may hire or otherwise engage on behalf of himself or on
behalf of any company or entity any party who terminated his or its relationship
with the Company or an Affiliated Company without any inducement or attempted
inducement or solicitation by Executive.
10. INTERPRETATION; SEVERABILITY OF INVALID PROVISIONS. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the limitations described in this Agreement,
including specifically the limitations upon his activities, are reasonable in
scope, are necessary for the protection of Company's and Affiliated Companies'
business, and form an essential part of the consideration for which this
Agreement has been entered into. It is the intention of the parties that the
provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under
applicable laws and public policies. Nonetheless, the rights and restrictions
contained in this Agreement may be exercised and shall be applicable and binding
only to the extent they do not violate any applicable laws and are intended to
be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement
illegal, invalid or unenforceable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall
remain in full force and effect. The provisions of this Agreement do not in any
way limit or abridge Company's or Affiliated Companies' rights under the laws of
unfair competition, trade secret, copyright, patent, trademark or any other
applicable law(s), all of which are in addition to and cumulative of Company's
or Affiliated Companies' rights under this Agreement. Executive agrees that the
existence of any claim by Executive against Company or any Affiliated Company,
whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a
defense to enforcement by Company or any Affiliated Company of any or all of
such provisions or covenants.
11. RELIEF. The parties acknowledge that a breach or threatened
breach by Executive of any of the terms of this Agreement would result in
material and irreparable damage and injury to Company or Affiliated Companies,
and that it would be difficult or impossible to establish the full monetary
value of such damage. Therefore, Company and Affiliated Companies shall be
entitled to injunctive relief in the event of Executive's breach or threatened
breach of any of the terms contained in this Agreement. In the event of any
breach of this Agreement by Executive, if Company or any Affiliated Company
should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the enforcement of any
obligation or agreement of Executive contained herein, Executive agrees that, on
demand and to the extent permitted by law, Executive shall reimburse Company or
the Affiliated Company for its reasonable attorneys' fees and such other
reasonable expenses so incurred.
12. ARBITRATION. Except for the right to seek injunctive relief in
a court of competent jurisdiction for a breach or threatened breach of this
Agreement as provided in Section 11, any dispute, controversy or claim arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity
hereof (collectively, a "Claim") shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to the
rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any such arbitration shall be
conducted by one arbitrator, with experience in the matters covered by this
Agreement, mutually acceptable to
-7-
the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on the arbitrator within
thirty (30) days of one party giving the other party written notice of intent to
arbitrate a Claim, the American Arbitration Association shall appoint an
arbitrator with such qualifications to conduct such arbitration. The decision of
the arbitrator in any such arbitration shall be conclusive and binding on the
parties. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia.
13. AGREEMENT BINDING. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Company and Affiliated Companies, and their successors,
assignees, and designees, and Executive and Executive's heirs, executors,
administrators, personal representatives and assigns.
14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; PREVIOUS AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains
the entire agreement between the parties and no statements, promises or
inducements made by any party hereto, or agent of either party, which are not
contained in this Agreement shall be valid or binding; provided, however, that
the matters dealt with herein supersede previous written agreements between the
parties on the same subject matters only to the extent such previous provisions
are inconsistent with this Agreement and other provisions in written agreements
between the parties not inconsistent with this Agreement are not affected. This
Agreement may not be enlarged, modified or altered except in writing signed by
the parties.
15. NONWAIVER. The failure of Company or any Affiliated Companies
to insist upon strict performance of the terms of this Agreement, or to exercise
any option herein, shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for
the future of such term or option, but rather the same shall continue in full
force and effect.
16. NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications required or permitted by this Agreement or by any statute
relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given if delivered or mailed, first-class, certified mail, postage prepaid,
addressed as follows:
To Company: Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx
Executive Vice President and
General Counsel
BellSouth Corporation
2002 Campanile

Xxxxxxx, XX 00000
-8-
To Executive: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx
000 Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx, XX 00000
(or such other address as shall be
provided by Executive to Company
from time to time)
17. POOLING OF INTERESTS ACCOUNTING TREATMENT. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the application of any
provision(s) of this Agreement would preclude the use of pooling of interests
accounting treatment with respect to a transaction for which such treatment
otherwise is available and to be adopted by Company, this Agreement shall be
modified as it applies to such transaction, to the minimum extent necessary to
prevent such impact, including if necessary the invalidation of such provisions
(or the entire Agreement, as the case may be). If the pooling of interests
accounting rules require modification or invalidation of one or more provisions
of this Agreement as it applies to such transaction, the adverse impact on the
Executive shall, to the extent reasonably possible, be proportionate to the
adverse impact on other similarly situated employees of Company. The Board of
Directors of Company shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, make all
determinations necessary under this Section; provided, that determinations
regarding the application of the pooling of interests accounting rules for these
purposes shall be made by Company, with the concurrence of Company's independent
auditors at the time such determination is to be made.
18. NONDUPLICATION. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, if Executive becomes entitled to benefits under Article III of the
CIC Agreement, the severance benefits described in Article III(a) of the CIC
Agreement shall be in lieu of any termination allowance to which Executive is
otherwise entitled under Section 2 of this Agreement or any retirement allowance
to which Executive is otherwise entitled under Section 4(b) of this Agreement.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 18, both this
Agreement and the CIC Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and
Article X(e) of the CIC Agreement shall be interpreted consistently herewith.
19. NONDISCLOSURE. Executive shall not disclose the existence or
terms of this Agreement to any third party (excluding Executive's spouse and
children), except to receive advice of legal counsel, financial advisors or tax
advisors (who shall also be required to maintain its confidentiality) or to
comply with any statutory or common law duty; provided that these restrictions
on disclosure shall not apply to the extent that the existence of this Agreement
are disclosed by Company or any Affiliated Company as part of its periodic
public filings and disclosures or otherwise.
20. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which, when
taken together, shall constitute one agreement.
-9-
21. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be construed under and
governed by the laws of the State of Georgia. Executive has been advised to
consult with an attorney, acknowledges having had ample opportunity to do so and
fully understands the binding effect of this Agreement. In this regard,
Executive acknowledges that a copy of this Agreement was provided to Executive
for review and consideration for up to twenty-two (22) days. Further, Executive
understands that this Agreement may be revoked by Executive within seven (7)
days from the date of execution of this Agreement.
