EXHIBIT 10.2
AMENDMENT TO
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Amendment") is made, dated and
effective as of September 1, 1998 by and between IndyMac, Inc. ("Employer") and
Xxxx Xxxxx ("Officer"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings given such terms in the Employment Agreement (as
defined below).
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, Employer and Officer have entered into that certain Employment
Agreement dated as of January 1, 1998 (the "Employment Agreement"), pursuant to
which Officer has agreed to serve, among other positions, as Executive Vice
President, of Employer;
WHEREAS, Employer has proposed and Officer has agreed to amend the
Employment Agreement to provide for the grant of restricted stock, in addition
to stock options, and to clarify certain provisions of the Employment Agreement;
and
WHEREAS, Employer and Officer wish to amend the Employment Agreement on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Section 4(c) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in
its entirety as follows:
"Stock Options and Restricted Stock". Beginning with the 1998 Fiscal Year
and in respect of each of the following Fiscal Years during the term of
this Agreement, Holdings may grant to Officer stock options and/or
restricted stock for such number of shares of Holdings' common stock as the
Compensation Committee in its sole discretion determines, taking into
account Officer's and Holdings' performance and the competitive practices
then prevailing regarding the granting of stock options and restricted
stock. Subject to the foregoing, it is anticipated that the number of
shares in respect of each annual stock option and/or restricted stock grant
shall be in accordance with the number of shares granted to officers of
Employer at a level similar to Officer's level. The stock options and/or
restricted stock described in this Section 4(c) in respect of a Fiscal Year
shall be granted at the same time as Holdings grants stock options and/or
restricted stock to its other officers in such Fiscal Year.
All stock options granted in accordance with this Section 4(c): (i) shall
be granted pursuant to Holdings' current stock option plan, or such other
stock option plan or plans as may be in effect or come into effect during
the term of this Agreement, (ii) shall have a per share exercise price
equal to the fair market value (as defined in the current Plan or such
other plan or plans) of the common stock at the time of grant, (iii) shall
become exercisable in three equal installments on each of the first three
anniversaries of the date of grant, (iv) shall become immediately and fully
exercisable in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Appendix B)
or in the event that Officer's employment is terminated due to death or
Disability or by Employer other than for Cause (as defined in Section
5(c)), and (v) shall be subject to such other reasonable and consistent
terms and conditions as may be determined by the Compensation Committee and
set forth in the agreement or other document evidencing the award. All
restricted stock granted in accordance with this Section 4(c): (i) shall be
granted pursuant to Holdings' current stock option plan, or such other
stock option plan or plans as may be in effect or come into effect during
the term of this Agreement, (ii) shall be priced and vest in accordance
with the terms set by the Compensation Committee, (iii) shall become
immediately and fully vested in the event of a Change in Control (as
defined in Appendix B) or in the event that Officer's employment is
terminated due to death or Disability or by Employer other than for Cause
(as defined in Section 5(c)), provided, however, that with respect to a
termination by Employer other than for Cause, restricted stock granted in
accordance with this Section 4(c) shall become immediately and fully vested
only to the extent that such restricted stock would, under the terms of
such restricted stock, vest within twelve (12) months of such termination,
and (iv) shall be subject to such other reasonable and consistent terms and
conditions as may be determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth
in the agreement or other document evidencing the award."
2. The last sentence of Section 5(b) is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:
"This Agreement in all other respects will terminate upon the death of
Officer; provided, however, that (i) the termination of the Agreement shall
not affect Officer's entitlement to all other benefits in which he/she has
become vested or which are otherwise payable in respect of periods ending
prior to its termination, and (ii) to the extent not otherwise vested, all
outstanding stock options and restricted stock granted to Officer pursuant
to Section 4(c) will vest upon his/her death."
3. Section 5(d)(i) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read in
its entirety as follows:
"Except as provided in Section 5(d)(ii) below, if during the term of this
Agreement, Officer's employment shall be terminated by Employer other than
for
2
Cause, or by Officer because Employer has committed a "Material Breach" of
this Agreement, then Employer shall:
(1) pay Officer in a single payment as soon as practicable after the
Termination Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
thereafter, (A) an amount in cash equal to one year of Officer's
base salary at the Annual Rate at the Termination Date and (B) an
amount equal to the incentive compensation paid or payable to
Officer pursuant to Section 4(b) in respect of the Fiscal Year
immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in which Officer's
Termination Date occurs; provided, however, that in the event the
first anniversary of the Termination Date occurs on a date prior
to the end of a Fiscal Year, Employer shall also pay Officer an
amount equal to the product of (x) the incentive compensation paid
or payable to Officer pursuant to Section 4(b) in respect of the
Fiscal Year immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in which
Officer's Termination Date occurs and (y) a fraction, the
numerator of which is (I) the number of days elapsed since the end
of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year through Officer's
Termination Date and (II) the denominator of which is 365, and
(2) until the first anniversary of such Termination Date, provide the
benefits specified in the last sentence of Section 4(d) hereof.
Employer shall also pay in a single payment as soon as practicable after
the Termination Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
thereafter, any unpaid incentive compensation payable to Officer pursuant
to Section 4(b) in respect of the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the
Fiscal Year in which Officer's Termination Date occurs, as calculated
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, the terms of Appendix A. For the purpose of this provision, the
term "Material Breach" shall mean a material breach of this Agreement by
Employer which is committed in bad faith and which is not remedied within a
reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from Officer
specifying such breach.
4. Section 8(k)(i)(A) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to read
in its entirety as follows:
"engage in any business, whether as an employee, consultant, partner,
principal, agent, representative or stockholder (other than as a
stockholder of less than a one percent (1%) equity interest) or in any
other corporate or representative capacity with any other business whether
in corporate, proprietorship, or partnership form or otherwise, where such
business is engaged in any activity which competes with the business of
Employer (or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including Countrywide Credit
Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries) as conducted on the date Officer's
employment terminated or which will compete with any proposed business
3
activity of Employer (or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including
Countywide Credit Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries) in the planning
stage on such date;"
5. No Other Amendment. Except as expressly amended herein, the Employment
------------------
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as currently written.
6. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be
executed as of the day and year first above written.
