Article 2: EMPLOYMENT AND COMPENSATION
SECTION 2.01 RESIGNATION. Effective upon the Company's approval and
execution of this Agreement, Executive does hereby resign from any and all
positions of responsibility or authority at the Company, any subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company, any other entity in which the Company or any of its
Affiliates has an investment where Executive's position with such entity is
related to such investment, and any division, unit, plan, program, trust, fund,
project or other subdivision established, organized or sponsored by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates or any such other entity, whether such
position is that of an agent, officer, manager, member, partner, executive,
trustee, administrator, director or otherwise, provided that with respect to any
membership that Executive may have on the board of directors or similar
governing board of any publicly traded entity, Executive's resignation shall be
deemed deferred until the Company makes written request therefor. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive hereby resigns from all
positions set forth or described in the Schedule of Positions attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Effective Date is after the date hereof, then between the date hereof and the
Effective Date, Executive shall remain an employee of the Company on
administrative leave, entitled to compensation for such period at his current
base rate of salary and existing fringe benefits, but it is understood that
Executive shall have no authority to bind or to determine or direct any activity
of, or represent, the Company or any of its Affiliates during such period. Upon
the Effective Date, and without any further action by Executive or the Company,
Executive's employment with the Company shall end.
SECTION 2.02 FURTHER ASSURANCES. To the extent necessary, Executive agrees
from time-to-time, upon the Company's reasonable request, to execute any and all
documents as may be necessary or desirable, in the reasonable and good faith
judgment of the Company or any of its Affiliates, to further confirm and/or
effectuate the aforesaid resignations.
SECTION 2.03 EFFECT OF RESIGNATION. Executive and the Company agree that
the resignation contained herein arises from the mutual agreement of the
Executive and the Company, resulting in a cessation of Executive's continued
employment. Accordingly, such resignation shall not be construed or deemed to be
a termination of Executive's employment by the Company, whether with or without
cause, or to constitute or be deemed to be any breach of any employment or other
obligation or duty by either the Executive or by the Company or any of its
Affiliates, whether express or implied, for any purpose, provided that for
purposes of construing the provisions of any employee benefit plan in which
Executive has been a participant, Executive's resignation shall be given the
same effect as a termination without cause.
SECTION 2.04 COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. Executive hereby agrees that the
following, together with amounts that shall be payable to Executive under
Article 3 hereof in respect of Executive's Consulting Services, accurately
reflect all of the compensation,
4
benefits or perquisites payable or otherwise to be provided to Executive by
the Company and its Affiliates on and after the Effective Date as a result of
Executive's employment by and separation from the Company and its Affiliates and
that Executive is not entitled to any other compensation, benefits, or
perquisites except as set forth in this Agreement:
(a) Salary. On the Effective Date, Executive will receive accrued base
salary from the end of the immediately preceding payroll period for which
payment has been made through the Effective Date.
(b) Accrued Vacation. On the Effective Date, the Company will pay Executive
such amounts as are due Executive for accrued and unused vacation time in
accordance with the Company's usual policies. After the Effective Date,
Executive will not accrue or be paid for vacation time in connection with his
provision of consulting services to the Company.
(c) Executive Incentive Compensation Plan. On the Effective Date, the
Company will pay Executive a bonus amount for the 1999 year under the Company's
Executive Incentive Compensation Plan equal to a gross amount, before
withholding, of Three Hundred Forty-Seven Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars
Exactly ($347,250). Executive shall not be entitled to any further payments
under the Company's Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, including for any
period after 1999. Nothing in this paragraph shall create any inference or
expectation regarding bonuses actually to be paid to participants in such Plan
for the 1999 year, which may be above or below target amounts for individuals or
in the aggregate.
(d) Options. For purposes of the vesting of any unvested awards previously
made to Executive under the Edison International Equity Compensation Plan or
under the Edison International Management and Officer Long-Term Incentive
Compensation Plans (the "Equity Plans"), Executive's employment by the Company
shall be given the same effect as if Executive had remained regularly employed
through the Effective Date. Executive and the Company agree that, as of the
Effective Date, Executive's vested options to acquire stock of the Parent and
vested phantom options in respect of the Company will be as set forth in the
Schedule of Vested Options attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference
(the "Options"). From and after the Effective Date, the Executive shall no
longer be eligible for grants of any awards under the Equity Plans or under any
other long-term incentive plan of the Company or its Affiliates, and except as
set forth in Section 3.02, all unvested awards shall terminate as of the
Effective Date. On March 16, 2000, the Company shall pay to Executive, by wire
transfer in accordance with Executive's reasonable written instructions given at
least forty-eight (48) hours in advance, a gross amount, before withholding,
that is equal to the difference between $471.0642 per phantom share and the
pertinent exercise price of such share as shown on the Schedule of Vested
Options for each vested phantom Option of the Company. From and after the date
hereof, Executive shall have no further rights or entitlements in respect of
such phantom Options or any phantom options in respect of the Company, except as
set forth in Section 3.02; provided that if,
5
within six (6) months of the date hereof, the Company or any Affiliate of
the Company consummates an exchange offer with holders of phantom options of the
Company in which the stated exchange value (before interest and any contingent
amounts) per phantom share for purposes of the exchange offer exceeds $471.0642
per phantom share, then, within thirty (30) days following the completion of
such exchange offer, the Company shall pay to Executive a gross amount, before
withholding, equal to such excess multiplied by the number of vested phantom
Options of Executive shown on the Schedule of Vested Options. Following the
Effective Date, Options for stock of the Parent listed on the Schedule of Vested
Options, shall remain subject to the terms of the award and the Plan under which
they were granted, subject to the provisions of Section 3.02.
(e) Deferral Plans. The Schedule of Deferred Compensation attached hereto
and incorporated herein by reference sets forth, as of the date shown, the
vested balance of Executive's deferral account in the Edison International
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and units credited to Executive's stock
unit account in the Edison International Option Gain Deferral Plan. All deferred
compensation benefits shown on the Schedule of Deferred Compensation, following
the Effective Date, shall remain subject to the terms of the Deferred
Compensation Plan applicable thereto.
(f) Retirement Benefits. The Schedule of Retirement Benefits attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference sets forth, as of the Effective
Date, the vested benefits payable to Executive under retirement plans of the
Company and its Affiliates in which he has been a participant. All such benefits
shown on the Schedule of Retirement Benefits, following the Effective Date,
shall remain subject to the terms of the pertinent retirement plan applicable
thereto, including the conditions to payment set forth therein. After the
Effective Date, there will be no further accrual of benefits for Executive under
such retirement plans.
(g) Health Benefits. From the Effective Date until eighteen (18) months
thereafter, Executive and his family shall remain eligible to continue to
participate in medical and dental plans of the Company and its Affiliates on the
same basis as if Executive had remained employed by the Company in his current
position, provided that Executive shall be responsible for paying the premium
costs therefor in accordance with the Company's ordinary practices in respect of
former employees, subject to the further provisions of Section 3.02.
(h) Other Insurance Coverage. Executive acknowledges that, except as
provided in Section 2.04(g) above and Section 3.02(c), no life, health,
accident, disability or other insurance policies or health or welfare benefits
will be provided for him by the Company or its Affiliates after the Effective
Date.
(i) Contract Costs. The Company will reimburse Executive for the reasonable
fees and costs of any attorney, financial advisor, accountant and/or other
professional
6
advising and assisting Executive in the negotiations of this Agreement, up
to Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in the aggregate.
(j) Outstanding Expense Reports. Executive agrees to submit to the Company
an expense report for all reimbursable and reasonable expenses he has incurred
as an employee of the Company no later than the fifteenth business day following
the Effective Date, and acknowledges that the business expenses to be contained
in such expense report will be the only remaining reimbursable business expenses
incurred by Executive while in the Company's employ. The Company will reimburse
Executive for such expenses within thirty (30) days of Executive's submission of
the report, to the extent such expenses are valid and reimbursable under Company
policy.
(k) Severance. On the Effective Date, the Company shall make a one-time
severance payment to Executive in an amount, prior to withholding, that is equal
to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars Exactly ($500,000).
(l) Other Compensation. Executive acknowledges that from and after the
Effective Date, all other compensation, benefits and perquisites to which he has
been entitled as an employee of the Company shall forthwith terminate and that
he shall no longer be entitled to receive the same, including without
limitation, reimbursement for the costs of a car and driver and for private club
memberships. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the other
benefits and perquisites in which Executive currently participates which shall
no longer be available to him after the Effective Date are as set forth in the
Schedule of Other Terminated Benefits attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
SECTION 2.05 WITHHOLDING. Executive agrees that all compensation, benefits
and perquisites payable hereunder shall be paid after withholding for taxes
which, in the Company's reasonable good faith judgment, are required to be
withheld by the Company, including income taxes at the then current published
federal and state rate unless Executive elects to use a higher rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that all personal income and
related taxes applicable to any and all compensation, benefits and perquisites
payable hereunder shall be paid by Executive, and the Company shall not be
obligated to pay any such taxes or to provide Executive with funds for the
payment of same.
SECTION 2.06 COMPANY PROPERTY. Executive agrees to return to the Company,
as soon as practicable, but in any event on or prior to the Effective Date, all
Company property, including, but not limited to, all keys, credit cards,
documents, equipment (including computer and telephone equipment) automobiles,
files, data and records of any kind whatsoever that he has in his possession or
control (except for any Company property that the Company authorizes Executive
in writing to retain for purposes of his providing the Consulting Services
hereunder) regardless of the form for storage thereof (whether documentary, on
discs or present on other electronic media). The Company agrees to permit
Executive to retain copies of documents that are contained in his office files
and that are personal
7
in nature, subject to the Company's prior review of such materials and
approval of their retention by the Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a)
subject to the Company's satisfaction that all Company information and programs
have been removed therefrom, Executive may retain the Company's personal
computer currently at Executive's residence, and (b) the Company will cooperate
and work together with Executive to facilitate Executive's assumption of the
Company's future obligations in respect of the automobile currently leased by
the Company for Executive.
SECTION 2.07 RELEASES. In further consideration of the Company's entry into
this Agreement with Executive and its promise to make payments and to provide
benefits hereunder to which Executive is not otherwise entitled, Executive is,
concurrent with the Company's execution of this Agreement, delivering to the
Company executed copies of the forms of releases attached hereto, respectively,
as "Form of General Release" and "Form of Age Discrimination Release." In the
event that the Executive exercises his right to rescind the Age Discrimination
Release, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company
shall have the right, within five (5) days thereafter, to terminate any and all
further obligations of the parties under this Agreement.
Article 3: CONSULTING
SECTION 3.01 CONSULTING SERVICES. During the Consulting Term, Executive
will, when reasonably requested to do so by the Company's Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer or Board of Directors, provide the Company and its officers
and directors with strategic consulting and advisory services related to
material aspects of the Company's business. All Consulting Services provided
hereunder will be provided on an "as requested" basis, subject to Executive's
reasonable availability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and
subject to the Company's compensating the Executive for additional time as
provided for herein, Executive shall not be required to expend more than forty
(40) hours per month on providing Consulting Services hereunder. When requested
to provide Consulting Services, Executive shall endeavor to do so in a
professional, diligent and workmanlike manner, providing the Company and its
Affiliates with the benefit of his best, informed and professional judgment. All
Consulting Services shall be provided by Executive personally, but Executive
shall have the right to obtain the assistance of his employees at no additional
cost to the Company.
SECTION 3.02 COMPENSATION. In consideration of his providing the Consulting
Services and subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement and
Executive's compliance therewith, the Company shall pay to the Executive the
following compensation:
8
(a) The Company shall pay Executive a consulting fee at the rate of Three
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) per annum, payable in equal monthly
installments on the last day of each month during the Consulting Term (pro-rated
for partial months during the Term).
(b) In the event that Executive provides more than forty (40) hours of
Consulting Services in any calendar month, then the Company shall also pay
Executive $[300] for each such additional hour, provided that within thirty (30)
days following the close of such month, Executive submits to the Company an
invoice setting forth time expended for Consulting Services during such month in
reasonable detail and with such supporting documentation as the Company may
reasonably request.
(c) During the Consulting Term, the Company shall reimburse Executive, or,
if requested by Executive, pay directly on Executive's behalf, up to Twenty
Thousand Dollars ($20,000) per annum in the aggregate, for Executive's premium
costs for health care benefits comparable to those referred to in Section
2.04(g) and premium costs for disability insurance coverage comparable to that
now enjoyed by Executive under the Company's long-term disability plan (to the
extent commercially available), subject in each case to the Company's receipt
from time-to-time and upon request of customary certifications of Executive's
ineligibility for health care or disability benefits, as the case may be, under
a plan of another employer.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Equity Plans, certain
unvested awards of options for Parent company stock granted to the Executive in
1998 and 1999 shall continue to vest as follows. One twenty-fourth (1/24) of the
6,650 currently unvested Parent company options granted to Executive on January
2, 1998, and one twenty-fourth (1/24) of the 17,325 currently unvested Parent
company options granted to Executive on January 4, 1999, shall continue to vest
at the end of each calendar month completed during the Consulting Term
(pro-rated for the partial periods from the Effective Date to January 31, 2000,
and from January 1, 2002 to January 18, 2002). Furthermore, the term for the
exercise by Executive of any vested options to acquire capital stock of the
Parent that are listed on the Schedule of Vested Options or that are vested
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.02(d) shall be extended to, and
including, the 180th day following the end of the Consulting Term.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Equity Plans, certain
unvested awards for phantom options in respect of the Company granted to the
Executive in 1998 and 1999 shall continue to vest as follows. One twenty-fourth
(1/24) of the 3,930 currently unvested phantom options granted to Executive on
January 2, 1998, and one twenty-fourth (1/24) of the 8,010 currently unvested
phantom options granted to Executive on January 4, 1999, shall continue to vest
at the end of each calendar month completed during the Consulting Term
(pro-rated for the partial periods from the Effective Date to January 31, 2000,
and from January 1, 2002 to January 18, 2002). Within ten (10) days following
the close of each calendar month as of the end of which unvested options have
vested pur-
9
suant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall pay to Executive a gross
amount, before withholding, that is equal to the difference between $471.0642
(subject to adjustment in accordance with the proviso to the penultimate
sentence of Section 2.04(d)) for each phantom option that vested at the end of
the preceding month under this Section 3.02(e) and the pertinent exercise price
thereof. By way of example, if there were 12,000 unvested options, 500 options
would vest monthly, and the Company would pay Executive on a monthly basis the
excess of $471.0642 (subject to adjustment in accordance with the proviso to the
penultimate sentence of Section 2.04(d)) per option over the exercise price of
each of such 500 options.
(f) The Company may, in its discretion, withhold taxes from amounts due
Executive under this Section 3.02 unless and to the extent an acceptable legal
opinion is received from Executive's legal counsel to the effect that
withholding is either not applicable or not required.
SECTION 3.03 EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT. The Company will reimburse Executive,
in accordance with the Company's customary practices, for reasonable and
customary out-of-pocket expenses which are pre-approved by the Company and
actually incurred and paid by Executive as a result of and directly related to
the provision of Consulting Services, provided that such expenses would be
reimbursable to management executives of the Company under then prevailing
Company policies. In no event shall such expenses include salaries of
Executive's employees, or other overhead costs.
SECTION 3.04 INDEMNITY. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
Executive and his Affiliates from and against any and all Claims, actual or
threatened (including all expenses incurred in connection therewith as they are
incurred) arising from or related to Executive's performance of the Consulting
Services, except to the extent that such Claims or threatened Claims arise from
or are related to the breach of this Agreement by Executive or the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Executive or his Affiliates, for which
Executive shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates to
the same extent as the Company would otherwise be obligated to provide indemnity
to Executive.
SECTION 3.05 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTIES. The parties acknowledge and
agree that the provision of the Consulting Services shall not create any
association, partnership, joint venture, agency or employer and employee
relationship between the Company and the Executive. Executive acknowledges that
Executive is being engaged as an independent contractor, and Executive will not
be eligible for benefits generally available to the employees of the Company. In
the performance of the Consulting Services, Executive agrees at his sole cost
and expense to materially comply with all applicable laws and with such
requirements or restrictions as may be imposed by any governmental authority,
including the procurement of any applicable permits and compliance with any
applicable laws now or hereafter in effect relating to Executive's provision of
Consulting Services or Execu-
10
tive's hiring of any employees in connection therewith, including any
applicable workers' compensation, unemployment, and wages and hours laws.
SECTION 3.06 LIMITATIONS ON AUTHORITY. Except as may be expressly
authorized in writing from time to time by the Company's chief executive
officer, Executive agrees that he will not have authority to, and that he will
not, in connection with the Consulting Services, (a) enter into any contracts or
other undertakings binding on, or imposing any obligations or liabilities on,
the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (b) make any representations to any
Person(s) that either Executive or any Person acting under his authority has the
authority to act for the Company or any of its Affiliates or represent that
either Executive or any Person in his employ or under his authority is engaged
by the Company or any of its Affiliates in any capacity other than the
engagement hereunder as a consultant.
SECTION 3.07 EARLY TERMINATION. In addition to any other rights or remedies
at law, in equity or pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement, the
consulting relationship created hereby may be terminated as follows:
(a) By the Company at any time:
(i) Upon written notice to Executive in the event of his material breach or
default hereunder, provided that if such material breach or default is curable,
then Executive shall have thirty (30) days to cure the default or breach;
(ii) Upon written notice to Executive pursuant to the provisions of Section
4.03(a), or in the event of his habitual neglect of duty, or in the event of his
failure to follow reasonable instructions consistent with the scope of his
engagement from the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chairman or Board of
Directors, or in the event of any gross negligence, willful misconduct or
intentionally tortious acts or omissions, or in the event of any acts of
material dishonesty, committed by Executive in the course of providing
Consulting Services;
(iii) Upon the death or permanent disability of Executive (as determined in
accordance with the Company's customary policy); or
(iv) Upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Executive for any other
reason or for no reason; or
(b) By the Executive, at any time on or after the expiration of six (6)
calendar months from the Effective Date, upon thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to the Company for any reason or for no reason.
In the event of any termination arising under Section 3.07(a)(i), (ii) or
(iii) or Section 3.07(b), then and in such event the Company shall be obligated
to pay the compensation set
11
forth in Section 3.02 that is due hereunder to the date of termination only
and shall have no obligation to provide further compensation thereafter, and all
currently unvested options and phantom options shall cease vesting under
Sections 3.02(d) and (e) or otherwise as of the end of the calendar month
immediately preceding such date of termination, provided that if the Consulting
Term has not earlier terminated pursuant to Section 3.07(a)(i) or (ii) or under
Section 3.07(b), all then unvested options and phantom options shall vest and be
paid upon any termination under Section 3.07(a)(iii). In the event of any
termination under Section 3.07(a)(iv), the Company shall remain obligated to
continue to provide the compensation to Executive that would otherwise become
due thereafter under the terms of Section 3.02 of this Agreement but for such
termination, and Executive's rights under Sections 3.02(d) and (e) shall be
unaffected by such termination. In the event the Company wishes to obtain
insurance for its obligations in the event of Executive's death or disability,
Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company in such endeavor.
Article 4: ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF EXECUTIVE
SECTION 4.01 CONFIDENTIALITY.
(a) Executive acknowledges that he has held a sensitive management position
with the Company and that, by virtue of having held such position, he has had
access to and has learned the Company's and its subsidiaries' and Affiliates'
confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets pertaining to its and
their past, present, planned or projected operations, results of operations,
prospects, processes, know-how, services, projects, strategies, techniques,
procedures, financial capabilities, assets, transactions, partners, financing
sources and personnel, disclosure of any of which to present or future
competitors, investors, partners or the general public would be highly
detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its Affiliates. All such
confidential and proprietary information to which Executive has had prior access
as a result of his position with the Company, and all similar information to
which Executive may have access in the future as a result of performing
Consulting Services, are herein referred to as "Confidential Information."
Examples of such confidential and proprietary information include, but are not
limited to, the Company's investigations of and development and analytical work
on potential future electric generation assets, both those potentially to be
constructed and those potentially to be acquired. Executive further acknowledges
and agrees that the right to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential
Information constitutes a proprietary right which the Company and its Affiliates
are entitled to protect.
(b) Accordingly, without limiting any obligations of Executive arising at
law or pursuant to any existing agreement to which Executive is bound, Executive
covenants and agrees to and in favor of the Company that, subject to the further
provisions of this
12
Agreement, Executive shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any
Person other than as approved by the Company in writing in advance in connection
with Executive providing Consulting Services hereunder, and Executive shall not
use for the Executive's own purposes or for any purpose other than those of the
Company and its Affiliates any Confidential Information during the Consulting
Term or at any time thereafter until such Confidential Information has been
otherwise publicly disclosed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Executive agrees that, except as permitted in writing by the Company, he will
not respond to or in any way participate in or contribute to any public
discussion, notice or other publicity concerning or in any way related to
Confidential Information or, subject to Section 5.10, any matters concerning his
employment at the Company. Executive agrees that any disclosure by him of any of
the Confidential Information shall constitute a material breach of this
Agreement and of his fiduciary obligations to the Company.
(c) For purposes of this Section 4.01, "Confidential Information" does not
include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public
other than as a result of disclosure by Executive, or (ii) was within the
Executive's possession prior to being furnished to the Executive by or on behalf
of the Company or its Affiliates, provided that the Executive did not receive
such information in a fiduciary capacity and provided further that the scope of
such information was not known to the Executive to be bound by a confidentiality
agreement with or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of
confidentiality to the Company or any of its Affiliates or any other Person with
respect to such information.
(d) If Executive is requested or required (by oral questions,
interrogatories, requests for information or documents in connection with any
legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar
process) to disclose any Confidential Information, then Executive shall provide
the Company with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so
that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or
waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a
protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver from the Company,
the Executive is, in the written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Company (the reasonable attorney's fees and costs of which opinion the Company
shall reimburse), legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information to any
tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, or suffer other censure or penalty,
then Executive may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such tribunal only
that portion of the Confidential Information which such counsel advises the
Executive is legally required to disclose, provided that Executive exercises
commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the
Confidential Information, including, without limitation, by cooperating with the
Company to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance
that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information by
such tribunal.
(e) Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.06, all files, forms,
brochures, books, materials, written correspondence, memoranda, documents,
manuals, computer
13
disks, software products and lists that have in the past or may in the
future come into the possession or control of the Executive as a result of his
being an employee of or consultant to the Company shall at all times remain as
the property of the Company and not of the Executive. At the times required by
Section 2.06, upon conclusion of the Consulting Term and at any other time or
times demanded by the Company, Executive shall deliver promptly to the Company
all such property in the possession of the Executive or directly or indirectly
under the control of the Executive. Executive agrees not to make, for the use of
the Executive or of any other Person, reproductions or copies of any such
property or other property of the Company.
(f) Executive agrees that following his employment by the Company, he will
not, without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, undertake employment or provide services for any Person other than the
Company or its Affiliates if the loyal and complete fulfillment of his duties in
connection with such employment or services would require him to reveal or
otherwise use any Confidential Information in violation of the provisions
hereof.
SECTION 4.02 STOCK ACTIVITY. Executive hereby agrees that from the date
hereof until the second anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive shall not:
(a) Acquire, by purchase or otherwise (except pursuant to Executive`s
participation in employee benefit plans), offer to acquire or obtain the right
to acquire, propose to acquire, announce any intention or plan to acquire, or
announce or make any request for permission to acquire, directly or indirectly,
any shares of Voting Stock, or any other security convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Voting Stock, unless (i) following such
acquisition and after giving effect thereto, the Executive and any Group of
which he is a member, would not be directly or indirectly the beneficial owners
of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock of the
Parent, the Company or any Affiliate thereof, as the case may be, and (ii) such
acquisitions or offers or agreements to acquire are made in open market
transactions (or pursuant to the Equity Plans);
(b) Directly or indirectly engage in, or become a member of a Group which
is engaging or which subsequently engages in, any tender offer or exchange offer
for any shares of Voting Stock;
(c) Take any other action, participate in or become a member of any Group,
or make any proposal, offer to acquire or obtain a right to acquire, propose to
acquire, announce any intention or plan to acquire, or announce or make any
request for permission to acquire, directly or indirectly or alone or together
with others, control of the Company or of any Affiliate of the Company or of any
division, business segment or significant amount of assets of the Company or of
any Affiliate of the Company;
14
(d) Enter into any voting agreement or proxy arrangement with respect to
shares of Voting Stock, or deposit any shares of Voting Stock into any voting
trust or similar entity, as a result of which the voting rights associated with
any or all of Executive's Voting Stock are vested in another Person, other than
proxies (or their substitutes) designated by the Board of Directors of the
issuer of such Voting Stock in proxy material for any meeting of stockholders of
such issuer;
(e) Conduct or become a participant in any solicitation of proxies with
respect to Voting Stock, or make any announcement with respect to any
solicitation of proxies, for the purpose of opposing a solicitation (for
election of directors or otherwise) approved by a majority of the whole Board of
Directors of the issuer of such Voting Stock, or present any proposal, or
solicit or become a participant in the solicitation of proxies in favor of a
proposal, for action at a meeting of the stockholders of such issuer, which is
not approved by a majority of the whole Board of Directors of such issuer;
(f) Enter into any plan, agreement or arrangement, or become a member of
any Group, for the purpose of engaging in any activity prohibited by the
foregoing paragraphs of this Section 4.02 ; or
(g) Assist any other Person in connection with such other Person's engaging
in any activity which, if engaged in by the Executive, would constitute a
violation of this Section 4.02.
SECTION 4.03 NON-COMPETITION.
(a) Without limiting the provisions of Sections 4.01. 4.02 and 4.04, and as
a further inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, Executive
agrees that, except as otherwise permitted hereby, until the expiration of six
(6) calendar months from the Effective Date, or until the end of the Consulting
Term if the Consulting Term ends after the expiration of six (6) calendar months
from the Effective Date, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for his
own account or as agent for another, carry on or participate in the ownership,
management or control of, or be employed by, or serve as a director of, or
consult for, or license or provide know-how to, or otherwise render services to,
or allow his name or reputation to be used in or by, any other present or future
business enterprise that, either alone or together with its Affiliates, engages
in the Line of Business and competes with current or planned activities of the
Company and its Affiliates anywhere in the world without the prior written
approval of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In the event of any
violation of the foregoing, then and in such event the Company may, upon notice
to Executive, terminate the consulting relationship between Executive and
Company without limiting any other remedies of the Company.
15
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit the right of
Executive, as an investor, to hold and make investments in securities of any
corporation or other entity that competes in the Line of Business with the
Company and its Affiliates and that is registered on a national securities
exchange or admitted to trading privileges thereon or actively traded in a
generally recognized over-the-counter market, provided that the aggregate of all
of Executive's beneficial ownership therein does not exceed one percent (1%) of
the outstanding equity interests in such corporation or other entity.
(c) Executive acknowledges that he considers the restrictions set forth in
this Section 4.03 to be reasonable both individually and in the aggregate and
that the duration, geographic scope, extent and application of each of such
restrictions are no greater than is necessary for the protection of the
legitimate interests of the Company and its Affiliates. In the event that any
restriction herein shall be found to be void or unenforceable but would be valid
or enforceable if some part or parts thereof were deleted or the period or area
of application reduced, each of the parties hereby agrees that such restriction
shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid.
SECTION 4.04 NON-SOLICITATION; NON-DISPARAGEMENT; NON-INTERFERENCE. During
the period that begins on the date hereof and that ends on the second
anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive agrees that he will not, directly
or indirectly, for his own benefit, for the benefit of any Person other than the
Company or its Affiliates, or otherwise:
(a) Solicit, encourage or induce, or assist any Person to solicit,
encourage or induce, any officer, director, executive or employee of the Company
or its Affiliates to leave his or her employment with the Company or its
Affiliates for any reason, it being agreed that the foregoing shall not prohibit
Executive from soliciting the employment of his current secretarial assistant;
(b) Induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, financier,
government agency, independent contractor, developer, promoter or other Person
having any business or regulatory relationship with the Company or any of its
Affiliates to cease, reduce or alter the nature, amount or terms of business
conducted or regulatory oversight or practices followed with respect to the
Company or any of its Affiliates or to engage in any business, regulatory or
other activity which might materially harm the Company or any of its Affiliates
or which is opposed by the Company and its Affiliates;
(c) Make or cause to be made any public statement that is disparaging of
the Company or any of its Affiliates or their respective businesses or that
materially injures the business or reputation of the Company or any of its
Affiliates or their respective businesses; or
(d) Directly or indirectly advise, consult or discuss with, provide
information to, or assist any Person, including any holder of phantom
16
options in the Company or any advisor or representative of any such holder,
or make any comment or offer or provide any opinion or otherwise make
statements, concerning the phantom options, or the grant, appreciation, value,
or exercise thereof, or any transaction or proposed transaction in respect of
such phantom options, including without limitation any planned or actual
exchange offer by the Company therefor, or any interpretation or action by the
Company planned or actually made with respect to such phantom options, or any
claims or proceedings, whether pending or threatened, relating to such phantom
options, without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, except and to the extent compelled by law.
SECTION 4.05 OWNERSHIP OF WORKS. As between the Company and Executive, the
Company shall be the sole and exclusive owner, throughout the universe, in
perpetuity, of all right, title, interest, benefits and profits of every kind
and nature whatsoever, whether now known or unknown, in, to and from all
programs, financial or business plans, all non-generic ideas and concepts,
logos, discoveries, trade secrets, prospect lists, or other tangible work
product and materials (including, without limitation, tangible materials
containing market, financial and other research) of every kind and nature
whatsoever (collectively, the "Works") written, conceived, developed, furnished
or created by or under the auspices of Executive in connection with his
performance of duties as an employee of or consultant to the Company, and all
results, benefits and proceeds of such Works (all of such Works, results,
benefits and proceeds being collectively referred to as the "Materials"). All of
such Materials shall constitute a "work made for hire" for the Company within
the meaning of the United States Copyright Act of 1976, as amended. In the event
that the Materials or any portion thereof are for any reason whatsoever not
deemed to be a "work made for hire" for the Company, Executive hereby grants and
assigns to the Company all right, title, interest, benefits and profits of every
kind and nature whatsoever, whether now known or unknown, in, to and from the
Materials. As between the Company and Executive, the Company shall at all times
have the perpetual and exclusive right to exploit such Materials and all works
derived therefrom throughout the universe, and all revenues and other benefits
and profits derived by the Company from such exploitation, as between the
Company and Executive, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.
Executive agrees to execute, and to cause each of his employees or agents to
execute, any and all formal assignments, recordations and any other documents
which the Company reasonably deems are necessary or desirable to effectuate
and/or evidence the Company's rights in and to the Materials.
SECTION 4.06 COOPERATION WITH LEGAL PROCESS. From and after Executive's
employment with the Company, the Company shall, consistent with the Company's
then existing policies for indemnification of officers, continue to indemnify
Executive for his activities as an officer, director and employee of the Company
to the extent provided under and permitted by, and subject to the provisions and
conditions of, law and the charter documents of the Company in effect at the
time, as though Executive remained an officer,
17
director and/or employee of the Company. In return, Executive agrees to
provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to the Company, when and as
requested by the Company and without charge to the Company except for the
Executive's reasonable and bona fide out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable
attorney's fees and costs), in connection with any and all pending or threatened
claims, proceedings and investigations (whether on behalf of or against the
Company) arising out of, or alleged to arise out of, facts or circumstances
existing during the term of Executive's employment by the Company.
Article 5: GENERAL PROVISIONS
SECTION 5.01 OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW WITH COUNSEL. Executive represents that
he has discussed all aspects of this Agreement with an attorney of his choice,
that he has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this
Agreement and that he is voluntarily entering into this Agreement.
SECTION 5.02 CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without
reference to the choice of law doctrine of California.
SECTION 5.03 REMEDIES. The rights and remedies of each party under this
Agreement are not, except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, to the
exclusion of each other or of any other rights or remedies of such party. Each
party may exercise or decline to exercise any one or more of its rights and
remedies without waiver of any such subsequent exercise of such right and remedy
or any other rights and remedies of such party. Executive acknowledges that the
Company cannot be properly protected from adverse consequences if Executive
should default under specified provisions of this Agreement. Accordingly, the
Executive agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by
Executive of any of the provisions of Sections 3.06, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04 or
4.05, the Company, in addition to any other right or relief to which it may be
entitled, shall be entitled to an order enjoining such breach or threatened
breach and specifically enforcing Executive's compliance with the provisions
thereof, Executive agreeing that he is hereby estopped and prohibited from
arguing that damages are an adequate remedy for any such breach or threatened
breach or that such equitable relief is inappropriate under the circumstances.
SECTION 5.04 SEVERABILITY. Without limiting the applicability of Section
4.03(c), if any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or
incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect
so long as the economic or legal substance of the provisions hereof is not
affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination
that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being
enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this
Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as
possible in an acceptable manner in order
18
that the provisions hereof are implemented and enforced as originally
contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
SECTION 5.05 NO AMENDMENT; ENTIRE AGREEMENT; NO WAIVER. This Agreement and
the Schedules and attachments hereto constitute the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior
agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Executive specifically represents and acknowledges that in executing
this Agreement, he does not rely and has not relied on any representations or
statements made by the Company, or any of the Company's agents, representatives
or attorneys with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this
Agreement, or otherwise. This Agreement may not be amended except by an
instrument in writing signed by the parties. Either party may (a) extend the
time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other
party, or (b) waive compliance with any of the agreements applicable to the
other party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only
if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound
thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver
of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition,
or a waiver of any other term or condition, of this Agreement. The failure of a
party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any
of such right.
SECTION 5.06 RIGHT OF OFFSET. The Company shall have the right to offset
against amounts owed Executive by the Company any amounts which, in the future,
Executive owes to the Company.
SECTION 5.07 PARTIES IN INTEREST. This Agreement may not be assigned or
transferred by either party, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior
written consent of the other party (which consent may be granted or withheld in
the sole discretion of such other party). This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure solely to the benefit of the parties and their permitted assigns and
nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any
other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature
whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.08 NOTICES. Any notice, payment, demand, or communication
required or permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been delivered, given, and received for all
purposes (a) if delivered personally to the Person to whom it is addressed, or
(b) when the same is actually received, if sent by a nationally recognized
courier service (which provides proof of delivery), by registered or certified
mail (postage and charges prepaid), or by facsimile (if such facsimile is
followed by a hard copy of the facsimile communication sent promptly thereafter
by a nationally recognized courier service (which provides proof of delivery) or
registered or certified mail (postage and charges prepaid)), addressed as set
forth in the Schedule of Addresses attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference or to such other address as such Person may from time to time specify
by due notice.
19
SECTION 5.09 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, and by the Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when
executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.
SECTION 5.10 PUBLICITY. The parties agree that, for a period of at least
six (6) months, they will keep the terms, amounts and facts of this Agreement
completely confidential, and that they will not during such period disclose any
information concerning this Agreement to anyone except their respective
attorneys or accountants, including, but not limited to, any past, present or
prospective employees of the Company or any of its Affiliates, except in each
case as may be required by law, including, without limitation, filings required
by the Company and by its parent entity with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall mutually agree upon
forms for a press release, internal communications and answers to press
questions to be used in connection with announcing Executive's resignation.
Subject to Executive conforming and limiting his statements to the substance of
such mutually agreed upon press release, internal communications and answers to
press questions, Executive may respond to press or analyst inquiries concerning
his resignation.
SECTION 5.11 HEADINGS. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement
and table of contents of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.12 ATTORNEYS FEES. In any litigation or proceeding relating to
this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and
reasonable attorney fees.
SECTION 5.13 FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties agree to execute such further
instruments and perform such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to
carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.14 ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company agrees that,
for a period of two (2) years from the Effective Date, the Company and its
Affiliates will not publicly issue any press release that disparages, or
materially injures the business or reputation of, the Executive, and will make
reasonable efforts to prevent their executive officers and official
spokespersons from making public statements on behalf of the Company or its
Affiliates that are disparaging of Executive or materially injure his business
or reputation. The Company further agrees to exercise reasonable efforts to
cause personal mail addressed to Executive to be forwarded to him in a timely
fashion (Executive agreeing to make reasonable efforts to notify third parties
of the change in his business address).
SECTION 5.15 DISPUTE RESOLUTION. All disputes arising out of or relating to
this Agreement shall be resolved pursuant to the reference procedure set forth
in California Code of Civil Procedure 638 et seq. The parties hereby agree to
submit to the jurisdiction of
20
the Superior Court of Los Angeles County for such purpose. Either party may
initiate the procedure set forth in this Section by providing the other party
with notice setting forth the nature of the dispute. The parties shall designate
to the Superior Court a referee who is an active attorney or retired judge
living in Los Angeles County who shall resolve the dispute. If the parties are
unable to designate a referee within 20 days after the receipt of the original
referral notice, the parties shall request that the Superior Court appoint a
referee. In connection with any proceeding pursuant to this Section, the parties
shall have all discovery rights which would have been available had the matters
which are the subject of the dispute been decided by the Superior Court.
Discovery proceedings may be noticed and commenced immediately after delivery of
the original referral notice. The hearing before the referee shall begin no
later than 60 days after the receipt of such referral notice. All discovery in
connection with the reference procedure shall be concluded no later than 15 days
prior to the commencement of the hearing. Judgment upon the award rendered by
the referee shall be entered in the Superior Court. Nothing in this Section
shall be construed to impair the right of either party to appeal from such
judgment.
SECTION 5.16 APPROVALS. The effectiveness and implementation of this
Agreement are subject to the approval of the Boards of Directors of the Company
and the Parent and the Compensation and Executive Personnel Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Parent.

FORM OF GENERAL RELEASE
THIS GENERAL RELEASE ("Release") is being delivered as of January 17, 2000
by Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx (the "Executive") to Edison Mission Energy, a California
corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to Section 2.07 of that certain agreement
related to Executive's employment with the Company being executed concurrently
herewith by Executive and the Company (the "Agreement"). All capitalized terms
not otherwise defined herein have the same meaning as is given to them in the
Agreement.
(a) Executive, on behalf of himself and his descendants, ancestors, heirs,
executors, successors, assigns and administrators (collectively, "Releasor"),
hereby releases, remises, acquits and forever discharges, and agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless, (x) the Company, (y) each of its Affiliates, and
(z) each of its and/or their partners, predecessors, successors, assigns,
officers, directors, shareholders, representatives, insurers, attorneys,
employees and agents, past, present and future, in their respective capacities
as such (collectively, "Releasees"), from and against any and all claims,
demands, obligations, causes of action, debts, expenses, damages, judgments,
orders and liabilities of whatever kind or nature, in law, equity or otherwise,
whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, matured or unmatured,
and whether concealed or hidden (collectively, "Claims"), which Executive now
owns or holds or has at any time heretofore owned or held or had, or may at any
time own or hold or have, against the Releasees or any of them, including, but
not limited to any Claim arising out of or in any way connected to any
transactions, occurrences, acts or omissions regarding or relating to his
employment with the Company, or the end of his employment with the Company,
including, but not limited to, Claims arising from any alleged violation by the
Company of any federal, state or local constitutions, statutes, ordinances or
common laws, including but not limited to, the California Fair Employment and
Housing Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act, Americans With
Disabilities Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and/or the Civil
Rights Act of 1991.
(b) Except for those matters that are expressly excluded, the release set
forth herein is intended as a release of all Claims that the Releasor may have
against the Releasees or any of them, whether now known or unknown. In
furtherance thereof, Executive expressly waives and relinquishes any right to
assert hereafter that any claim, demand, obligation and/or cause of action has,
through ignorance, oversight, error or otherwise, been omitted from the terms of
this Agreement. Executive makes this waiver with full knowledge of his rights,
after consulting with legal counsel, and with specific intent to release both
his known and unknown claims. Accordingly, Releasor specifically waives all
rights and benefits afforded by California Civil Code Section 1542 and does so
understanding and acknowledging the significance of such specific waiver of such
statutory protection, which provides as follows:
"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE
CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE
TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE
MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."
Thus, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the California Civil Code, and
for the purposes of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of
the Releasees, Executive expressly acknowledges that the foregoing release is
intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all Claims that Executive
does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of the execution
hereof, and the foregoing release contemplates the extinguishment of any such
Claim or Claims except to the extent expressly set forth herein. Executive
further acknowledges that he has been advised to consult with an attorney and is
receiving compensation beyond that to which he is entitled.
(c) Executive represents and warrants that he has not filed or caused to be
filed any complaints or charges against the Company, any of its Affiliates or
any of its or their officers, directors, agents, employees or representatives
with or before any local, state or federal governmental agency or court or any
arbitrator or other tribunal, and no such complaint or charge by or on behalf of
the Executive is currently pending. Executive further agrees not to file any
complaints, actions or charges of any nature against the Releasees relating to
any event or alleged event including, but not limited to, those arising from
Executive's employment with and/or separation from employment with the Company,
which occurred from the beginning of time until the execution of this Release.
(d) Nothing in this Release shall be construed or interpreted as a release,
acquittal, discharge or waiver of:
(i) Executive's rights to the compensation, reimbursements, benefits and
perquisites described in Article 2 of the Agreement;
(ii) Any of the Company's other obligations arising under the Agreement;
(iii) Any right which Executive now has or may have to claim indemnity
(including advancement of expenses) for liabilities in connection with his
lawful activities as a director, officer or employee of the Company and certain
of its Affiliates, pursuant to the terms of any applicable statute, under any
insurance policy, pursuant to the certificate or articles of incorporation,
bylaws or similar charter documents of any Releasee, or pursuant to the terms of
any applicable indemnification agreement to which Executive and the Company or
any Affiliate of the Company are or have been parties; or
(iv) Claims arising under the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
(e) The provisions of Section 5.01 through 5.05, 5.07, 5.08, and 5.12
through 5.14 of the Agreement apply to this Release and are incorporated herein
by reference as though fully set forth hereat.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has executed and delivered this Release
as of the day and year first above written.
