|
|
Term . The initial term of
Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be for the
period commencing on the Effective Date and ending, subject to
earlier termination as set forth in Section 6, on the third
anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Employment
Term”). The Employment Term shall automatically
renew for an additional one (1) year period unless a notice of

prior to the expiration of the Employment Term.
|
|
|
Employment . During the
Employment Term:
|
|
|
|
Executive will serve
as the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of the
Company, as well as the principal financial officer for SEC
reporting purposes, and shall report directly to the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company (the
“CEO”). Executive shall perform the duties,
undertake the responsibilities, and exercise the authorities
customarily performed, undertaken and exercised by persons situated
in a similar executive capacity at a similar
company. If, at any time, Executive is elected as a
director of the Company or as a director or officer of any of the
Company’s subsidiaries, Executive will fulfill
Executive’s duties as such director or officer without
additional compensation.
|
|
|
|
Executive shall
devote his full-time business attention to the business and affairs
of the Company. Executive may serve on up to two outside corporate
boards or committees, subject to the approval of the CEO and the
Board of Directors. Executive may also serve on civil or
charitable boards or committees as long as such service does not
interfere with the performance of his responsibilities hereunder
and subject to the Company's code of conduct and other applicable
policies as in effect from time to time. Executive may
manage personal and family investments and affairs, participate in
industry organizations and deliver lectures at educational
institutions, so long as such activities do not interfere with the
performance of Executive’s responsibilities
hereunder.
|
|
|
|
Executive shall be
subject to and shall abide by each of the Company’s personnel
policies applicable and communicated in writing to senior
executives.
|
|
|
|
Base
Salary . The Company agrees to
pay or cause to be paid to Executive during the Employment Term a
base salary at the rate of $600,000 per annum or such increased
amount as the Board may from time to time determine (hereinafter
referred to as the “Base Salary”). Such Base Salary
shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s customary
practices applicable to its executives, but no less frequently than
monthly. Such Base Salary shall be reviewed at least
annually by the Board or by the Compensation Committee of the Board
(the “Committee”), with consideration given to
recommendations by the CEO, and may be increased in the sole
discretion of the Committee, but in no event shall it be decreased
without Executive’s express written consent.
|
|
|
|
Incentive
Compensation . For
each fiscal year of the Company ending during the Employment Term,
beginning with the 2009 fiscal year, Executive shall be eligible to
receive a target annual cash bonus of 55% of the Base Salary (such
target bonus, as may hereafter be increased, the “Target
Bonus”) with the opportunity to receive a maximum annual cash
bonus of 200% of the Base Salary, as recommended in good faith by
the CEO and approved by the Committee in its sole discretion, if
the Company and Executive achieve certain performance targets set
by the Committee. Such annual cash bonus
(“Incentive Compensation”) shall be paid in no event
later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the
taxable year (of the Company or Executive, whichever is later) in
which the performance targets have been
achieved. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Executive’s total 2009 Incentive Compensation will not be
prorated based on Executive’s partial year of employment
(i.e., it will be determined as if Executive had been employed by
the Company, and received Base Salary, for the entire 2009 calendar
year).
|
|
|
|
Equity
Compensation Plans . To the extent the Company determines to
award stock options, restricted stock units or other similar
consideration to management personnel based upon duration of
employment, status as an officer of the Company or achievement of
performance targets, or any combination of the foregoing, Executive
shall be permitted to participate in such programs. For
each fiscal year or part thereof during the Employment Term,
Executive shall be eligible to receive equity-based compensation in
an amount equal up to two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Salary
for such fiscal year (or such lesser (including zero) or greater
percent of the Salary for such fiscal year as is recommended in
good faith to the Committee by the CEO and approved by the
Committee) All such equity-based awards shall be subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable plan and
agreements, and in all cases shall be as determined by the
Committee; provided , however , that such terms and
conditions shall be no less favorable to Executive than the terms
and conditions applicable to other Executive Vice Presidents
(excluding the terms and conditions
|
of special incentive
awards granted to Executive Vice Presidents in connection with hire
or otherwise granted outside of the ordinary course of
business). Executive’s 2009 long-term equity
incentive to be granted in 2010 will not be prorated based on
Executive’s partial year of employment (i.e., it will be
determined as if Executive had been employed by the Company for the
entire 2009 calendar year).

and any airport, train station or temporary lodging that Executive
uses in connection with his working at Company headquarters and, if
so elected, the Company shall reimburse Executive for such
reasonable costs incurred by the Executive in using such car

accommodation) or is receiving income replacement benefits for a
period of three months or more under an accident and health plan

having “Cause” for Executive’s termination (other
than as described in clauses (b) and (d) thereof), the Company must
deliver a written demand to Executive which specifically identifies
the conduct that may provide grounds for Cause, and the Executive

diminution in Executive’s salary or benefits; (b) a material
diminution, without Executive’s written consent, of his
position, responsibilities, duties or authorities from those in
effect immediately following the Effective Date; (c) any change in

termination by the Company or by Executive shall be communicated by
written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For
purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination”
shall mean a notice that indicates a termination date, the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and sets forth
in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide
a basis for
|
|
|
termination of Executive’s employment
under the provision so indicated. For purposes of this Agreement,
no such purported termination of Executive’s employment
hereunder shall be effective without such Notice of Termination
