Dear Xxxx:
This letter agreement confirms that you are empowered to act, solely in your capacity as a
director of The St. Xxx Company (the “Company”) and as a member of the Executive Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and not as an employee or officer of the Company,
as the interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“Interim CEO”) for a period of 60 days from
the date hereof, or such earlier date as the Board may determine in its sole discretion. As Interim
CEO, you will exercise the authority and perform the duties of the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company reporting to and under the direction of the Executive Committee of the Board. While you
are Interim CEO, the Company will continue its search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer.
In addition to the regular compensation that you receive as a non-employee director of the
Board, you will be paid $100,000 for your service as the Interim CEO. You acknowledge and agree
that you will be treated as an independent contractor (and not as an employee) of the Company and
that you will not be eligible for, or entitled to receive, any employee benefits, severance
benefits or other compensation. The Company will reimburse you for all reasonable business
expenses incurred in accordance with its customary policies.
Please acknowledge acceptance of the foregoing by executing the letter below and returning it
to my attention. Please retain a copy for your records.
Sincerely, The St. Xxx Company |
