Exhibit 10.1
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
--------------------
This Employment Agreement ("Agreement"), effective as of the 1st day of
February, 2001 ("Effective Date"), is entered into by and between Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx ("Executive") and Mossimo, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the
"Company").
WHEREAS, Executive serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors,
President, and Chief Executive Officer of the Company as well as the principal
designer; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to establish its right to the continued
services of Executive, in the capacities described below, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, and Executive is willing to accept such
employment on such terms and conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter
set forth, Executive and the Company agree as follows:
1. EMPLOYMENT AS PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY.
1.1 DUTIES. The Company does hereby employ Executive as
President, Chief Executive Officer and principal designer of the Company and
Executive does hereby accept and agree to such employment. Subject to the
supervision and control of the Board of Directors of the Company, Executive
shall do and perform all services and acts necessary or advisable to fulfill the
duties and responsibilities of President, Chief Executive Officer and principal
designer and shall render such services on the terms set forth herein. In
addition, Executive shall have such other executive and managerial powers and
duties with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries as may reasonably be
assigned to him by the Board, to the extent consistent with his position and
status as President, Chief Executive Officer and principal designer of the
Company. Executive agrees to devote substantially all of his working time and
efforts exclusively to the business of the Company.
1.2 PLACE OF PERFORMANCE. In connection with Executive's
employment by the Company, Executive shall be based at the principal executive
offices of the Company in Santa Monica, California (or such other location in
Los Angeles or Orange County as the principal executive offices shall be
located).
2. TERM OF AGREEMENT. The term ("Term") of this Agreement shall
commence on the Effective Date and shall continue through January 31, 2004. The
Term may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties for successive one year
periods on such terms as may be agreed.
3. COMPENSATION.
3.1 SALARY AND BONUS COMPENSATION. Provided that the Company's
agreement with Target Corporation dated as of March 28, 2000 (the "Target
Agreement") remains in full force and effect, Executive shall be paid a base
salary of $900,000 per year (the "Salary"). The Salary shall be payable in 26
equal installments per year in accordance with the Company's regular payroll
practices. In addition, Executive shall be paid a bonus commission equal to
fifty percent (50%) of the Company's Net Royalties earned under the Target
1
Agreement (royalty income less commission paid to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx) for all Net
Royalties in excess of the minimum generated annual Net Royalties guaranteed
under the Target Agreement (the "Target Bonus"). A portion of the Target Bonus
will be advanced to Executive quarterly within thirty (30) days of receipt by
the Company of payment from Target Corporation. Each quarterly Target Bonus
advance shall be based upon Net Royalties paid for that quarter. Provided,
however, that if a Target Bonus advance is paid for one or more quarters during
any Contract Year (as defined in the Target Agreement), but fifty percent (50%)
of the annual Net Royalties in excess of the minimum annual guaranteed Net
Royalties paid to the Company for that Contract Year is less than the amount
paid to Executive during such quarter(s), the difference shall be deducted from
future quarterly bonus payments; however, such deductions shall be made after
the calculation of the Target Bonus for such future periods. In the event that
Executive's employment is terminated prior to the Company's recoupment of the
difference, the remaining portion of the difference shall be deducted from any
amounts payable to Executive at the time of termination; and, Executive shall
repay any amounts not covered by such deductions at the time of termination.
3.2 FRINGE BENEFITS. Executive shall be entitled to
participate in any fringe and other benefit programs adopted from time to time
by the Company for the benefit of its executive employees, including but not
limited to vacation, reimbursement of business expenses, medical and similar
plans.
4. TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE'S EMPLOYMENT.
4.1 DEATH. In the event Executive's employment hereunder is
terminated by reason of Executive's death, the Company shall pay to Executive's
estate any amounts accrued hereunder to the date of death.
4.2 DISABILITY. If, as a result of Executive's incapacity due
to physical or mental illness ("Disability"), Executive shall have been absent
from the full-time performance of his duties with the Company for a period of
six (6) consecutive months and, within thirty (30) days after written notice is
provided to him by the Company, he shall not have returned to the full-time
performance of his duties, Executive's employment under this Agreement may be
terminated by the Company for Disability. During any period prior to such
termination during which Executive is absent from the full-time performance of
his duties with the Company due to Disability, the Company shall continue to pay
Executive his Base Salary at the rate in effect at the commencement of such
period of Disability.
4.3 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. The Company may terminate
Executive's employment under this Agreement for "Cause," at any time prior to
the expiration of the Term of this Agreement. For this purpose, "Cause" shall
mean willful breach of this Agreement, fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement,
or other criminal conduct, or habitual neglect to perform Executive's duties. In
the event of termination for Cause, Executive's employment may be terminated by
the Board of Directors immediately without advance written notice, whereupon
this Agreement shall terminate without further obligation by the Company, except
for payment of amounts of Salary accrued through the date of termination.
2
4.4 TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY OTHER THAN FOR DEATH,
DISABILITY OR CAUSE. If Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for
any reason other than Executive's death or Disability or for Cause, the Company
shall pay Executive an amount equal to his Salary in effect on the date of
termination for the remaining Term of this Agreement as if Executive had
remained in the Company's employment during such period at a rate equal to his
then Salary.
4.5 NO MITIGATION REQUIRED. Executive shall not be required in
any way to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided for under this
Section 4, including, but not limited to, by seeking other employment, nor shall
the amount of any payment or benefit provided for under this Section 4 be
reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment with
or services provided to another employer after the date of Executive's
termination, or otherwise.

operate, join, control, participate in, or be connected with (as a stockholder,
partner, or otherwise), any business, individual, partner, corporation, or other
entity that is then a competitor of the Company, including without limitation
any entity engaged in the design, manufacture and/or distribution of Products;

the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), of not more than one percent (1%) of the voting
stock of any publicly held corporation shall not alone constitute a violation of
this Agreement. It is further expressly agreed that the Company will or would
suffer irreparable injury if Executive were to compete with the Company or any
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company in violation of this Agreement and that
the Company would by reason of such competition be entitled to injunctive relief
in a court of appropriate jurisdiction and Executive further consents and
stipulates to the entry of such injunctive relief in such a court prohibiting
Executive from competing with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the
Company in violation of this Agreement. Executive and the Company acknowledge

8.4 NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. Executive recognizes that
he possesses and will possess confidential information about other employees of
the Company relating to their education, experience, skills, abilities,
compensation and benefits, and inter-personal relationships with customers of
the Company. Executive recognizes that the information he possesses and will
possess about these other employees is not generally known, is of substantial
value to the Company in developing its business and in securing and retaining
customers, and has been and will be acquired by him because of his business
position with the Company. Executive agrees that, during the Term of this
Agreement and for the two (2) years thereafter, he will not, directly or
indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company for the purpose of
being employed by him or by any Competitor of the Company on whose behalf he is
acting as an agent, representative or employee and that he will not convey any
such confidential information or trade secrets about other employees of the
Company to any other person.
