EXHIBIT 10.1
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT made and effective as of this 21st day of October,
1996, between FULCRUM DIRECT, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (the "Executive").
The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), in the best
interest of the Company and its shareholders, desires to provide for the
continuous employment of the Executive as the Company's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. The Executive is willing to commit himself to serve the
Company, on the terms and conditions herein provided, and the Executive
represents to the Company, that he is under no contractual restraints (including
non-competition agreements) or any physical or mental impairment which might
preclude him from performing fully the duties required of him under this
Agreement.
In order to effect the foregoing, the Company and the Executive wish to
enter into this employment agreement on the terms and conditions set forth below
(the "Agreement"). Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and the
respective covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, and
intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive, and
the Executive hereby agrees to serve the Company, on the terms and conditions
set forth herein during the Term.
2. Term. This Agreement will commence on the date hereof and end on
December 31, 2001 (the "Term") unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 6
hereof. If the Executive shall remain in the employ of the Company beyond the
Term, in the absence of any other express agreement between the parties, this
Agreement shall renew on a year to year basis as of December 31st (the "Renewal
Date"), unless terminated as of the Renewal Date by the Company or the Executive
with at least 90 days prior notice thereof.
3. Position and Duties. For the Term of the Agreement, the Executive
shall serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company
and shall have such responsibilities, duties and authority that are consistent
with such positions and such other duties as may from time to time be assigned
to the Executive by the Board; provided, that the Executive shall at all times
possess the full authority and decision making power customarily granted to the
Chairman and Chief Executive Office of a corporation of the size and nature of
the Company and shall not be assigned any duties inconsistent with such
positions. The Executive shall report solely to the Board. The failure to assign
the Executive duties consistent with those provided for in this Section 3 shall
constitute a material breach of this Agreement. The Executive shall devote a
substantial amount of his working time and efforts to the business and affairs
of the Company; provided, that the Executive shall have flexibility in
determining his work schedule and shall not be required to work in the Company's
headquarters a fixed number of hours during any particular day, week or month;
provided, further, that consistent with the performance of the foregoing duties,
the Executive may also serve on the boards of directors or act as the trustee,
and act as an officer or partner of any other
2
companies, partnerships and/or organizations as the Executive in his sole
discretion deems appropriate. The Executive agrees that he will not divert from
the Company, or appropriate for himself or any other person or entity, any
business opportunity which is similar in content to the Company's business and
results from, arises out of, or is in any way connected with, his employment by
the Company.
4. Compensation and Related Matters.
(a) Salary. (i) The Company shall pay Executive a base salary
during the period of the Executive's employment hereunder, which shall be at an
initial rate of one hundred and eighty thousand dollars ($180,000) per annum
(the "Base Salary"). The Base Salary shall be paid in substantially equal
bi-weekly installments, in arrears ("Base Salary Payments"). During the period
of the Executive's employment hereunder, the Board shall make an annual review
of the Executive's compensation, beginning as of December 31, 1996; provided,
that in no event shall such review result in a reduction of the Base Salary; and
(ii) Compensation of the Executive by the Base Salary Payments shall not be
deemed exclusive and shall not prevent the Executive from participating in any
other compensation or benefit plan of the Company. The Base Salary Payments
hereunder shall not in any way limit or reduce any other obligation of the
Company hereunder, and no other compensation, benefit or payment hereunder shall
in any way limit or reduce the obligation of the Company to pay the Executive's
Base Salary hereunder.
(b) Bonus. (i) Not later than ninety (90) days following the close of
each fiscal year, the Board shall determine the amount, if any, of bonus to be
paid to the Executive, which the Board, in its sole discretion, determines
appropriate (such amount being "Bonus"). In determining the amount of Bonus
granted to the Executive, the Board shall evaluate all factors it deems
appropriate including, without limitation, (i) the financial performance of the
Company; (ii) the performance of the Executive as Chairman and CEO of the
Company; (iii) the execution and success of the Company's strategic plans; (iv)
the Executive's Base Salary and Bonus as compared to the compensation provided
by similarly situated corporations; and (v) extraordinary risk taken on behalf
of the Company (such as by providing a personal guaranty for any obligation of
the Company or providing short term unsecured financing for the Company). The
Bonus shall be made either in cash or the Company's Stock (at the election of
the Board) as promptly as possible following declaration of the Bonus by the
Board.
(c) Benefit Plans. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in or
receive benefits under any "employee benefit plan" (as defined in section 3(3)
of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time
("ERISA") or employee benefit arrangement made available by the Company now or
during the period of the Executive's employment hereunder, to its executives and
key management employees, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms,
conditions and overall administration of such plans and arrangements; provided,
however, that there shall be no duplication of the benefits or compensation
elements created by this Agreement. Nothing paid to the Executive under any plan
or arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be
deemed to be in lieu of the Base Salary payable to the Executive pursuant to
Section 4(a) hereof.

(d) Life and Disability Insurance. (i) The Executive shall purchase a
term life insurance policy on the life of the Executive, with a lump sum death
benefit at least equal to $6 million dollars ($6,000,000). The Company shall pay
the Executive in the first pay period of each fiscal year an amount equal to the
premium on such insurance policy plus the amount necessary to provide for all
Federal, state and local taxes on such payment; provided, that the Executive
shall select the Company as the beneficiary of at least one million dollars
($1,000,000) of the life insurance proceeds. The Executive is hereby authorized
to select, in his sole discretion, the beneficiary(s) to which the remainder of
such policy shall be paid upon his death.
(ii) The Company shall provide the Executive with reasonable
and customary disability insurance providing for the
Executive to receive 100% of his Base Salary during any
period of disability.
(e) Moving Expenses. If the headquarters of the Company shall relocate
more than 100 miles from Rio Rancho, New Mexico, then the Company shall, at the
request of the Executive, purchase from the Executive, at the average price of
three appraisals conducted by independent real estate appraisers, his home
located in New Mexico. The Company shall also reimburse the Executive for all of
his (and his immediate family's) out-of-pocket expenses related to moving to the
new headquarters location and the purchase of a new home in such location
(excluding the actual purchase price of such home).
(f) Expenses. During the period of the Executive's employment
hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for
all reasonable and customary expenses incurred by the Executive in performing
services hereunder, including all expenses of travel, entertainment and living
expenses while away from home on business or at the request of and in the
service of the Company, provided that such expenses are incurred and accounted
for in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Company.
(g) Other. In the event that any payment hereunder results in excise
tax pursuant to Sections 280(G) and 4999 of the Code, or any successor or
similar provision thereto, or comparable state or local tax laws, the Company
shall pay to the Executive such additional compensation as is necessary (after
taking into account all Federal, state and local income and excise taxes payable
by the Executive as a result of the receipt of such compensation) to place the
Executive in the same after-tax position he would have been in had no such
excise tax (or any interest or penalties thereon) been paid or incurred. The
amount of such payment shall be determined by the independent accounting firm
serving as the Company's outside auditor.
5. Offices. At the reasonable request of the Company, the Executive
agrees to serve without additional compensation as a director of any of the
Company's subsidiaries and in one or more executive offices of any of the
Company's subsidiaries.

the Company other than information which becomes publicly available through a
source other than the Executive.

Company and, for at least
-7-

the one-year period immediately following his Date of Termination, the Executive

engaged in distribution of children's products in the United States or any other
geographic areas in which the Company is then selling its products (a
"Competitor"); (ii) become interested, directly or indirectly, in any such
Competitor as an individual, partner, shareholder, creditor, director, officer,
principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant, advisor or in any other
relationship or capacity, provided, that the ownership of up to five percent
(5%) of any class of the outstanding securities of any publicly traded
corporation, even though such corporation may be a Competitor, shall not he
deemed as constituting an interest in such Competitor which violates clause (ii)
of the immediately preceding sentence; and (iii) employ, solicit, assist in
employing any present or former or future employee, officer or agent of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries.
(c) Any violation by the Executive of Section 8(a) or 8(b) hereof

be governed by Section 7(c) hereof. Additionally, the Company shall have the
right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 8 specifically enforced,
including by temporary and/or permanent injunction, without necessity of bond,
it being acknowledged and agreed that any such violation will cause irreparable
injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy
to the Company.
9. Independence and Severability of Section 8 Provisions. Each of the
rights and remedies enumerated in Section 8 shall be independent of the others
and shall be severally enforceable and all of such rights and remedies shall be
in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to
the Company under law or in equity. If any of the covenants contained in Section
8 or if any of the rights or remedies enumerated in Section 8, or any part of
any of them, is hereafter construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same
shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants or rights or
remedies which shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid
portions. If any of the covenants contained in Section 8 is held to be
unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered
thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have
the authority to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision, and in its
reduced form said provision shall then be enforceable.
10. Successors: Binding Agreement.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon any successor to the
Company by way of a Change of Control. The Company will require any successor to
control of the Company, by agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform it if no such Change of Control had taken place. Failure of
the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement within 30 days following a
Change of Control shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the
Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same
terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if he terminated his employment
-8-
9
for Good Reason pursuant to section 6(c)(iii) except that for purposes of
implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such Change of Control becomes
effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement,
"Company" shall mean the Company as herein before defined and any successor to
its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the
agreement provided for in this Section 10 or which otherwise becomes bound by
all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.
(b) This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or
legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any
amounts would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all
such amounts unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement to the Executive's devisee, legatee, or other
designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive's estate.
11. Indemnification. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, and its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, indemnify and hold
harmless the Executive against any and all claims, including all expenses in
connection with the defense thereof, related to his performance of the duties
specified in Sections 3 and 5 hereof.

specifically designated by the Board. No waiver by either party hereto at any
time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any
