Dear Trevor:
It
is with great pleasure that I welcome you (“You” or
“Director”) to the Board of Directors
(“Board”) of Auriga Laboratories, Inc.
(“Auriga” or the “Company”) effective March
1, 2007. This letter agreement contains the terms and conditions of
your directorship.
1.
Term.
(a)
This Agreement shall continue for a period of one (1) year from the
Effective Date and shall continue thereafter for as long as
Director is elected to the Board of Directors of
Company.
(b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided that Director has not
resigned, Company agrees to use its best efforts to re-elect
Director to the Board.
2.
Position and Responsibilities.
(a)
Position. Company hereby retains Director to serve as a member of
the Board of Directors and as a member of the Board’s Audit
and Compensation Committees. Director shall perform such duties and
responsibilities as are normally related to such positions in
accordance with Company’s bylaws, the Audit and Compensation
Committees’ charters and applicable law, including those
services described on Exhibit A (the
“Services”), and Director hereby agrees to use his best
efforts to provide the Services. Director shall not allow any other
person or entity to perform any of the Services for or instead of
Director. Director shall comply with the statutes, rules,
regulations and orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental
authority, which are applicable to the performance of the Services,
and Company’s rules, regulations, and practices as they may
from time-to-time be adopted or modified.
(b)
Other Activities. Director may be employed by another company, may
serve on other Boards of Directors or Advisory Boards, and may
engage in any other business activity (whether or not pursued for
pecuniary advantage), as long as such outside activities do not
violate Director’s obligations under this Agreement or
Director’s fiduciary obligations to the shareholders.
Director represents that, to the best of his knowledge, Director
has no outstanding agreement or obligation that is in conflict with
any of the provisions of this Agreement, and Director agrees to use
his best efforts to avoid or minimize any such conflict and agrees
not to enter into any agreement or obligation that could create
such a conflict, without the approval of the Chief Executive
Officer or a majority of the Board of Directors. If, at any time,
Director is required to make any disclosure or take any action that
may conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, Director
will promptly notify the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of
such obligation, prior to making such disclosure or taking such
action.
(c)
No Conflict. Director will not engage in any activity that creates
an actual conflict of interest with Company, regardless of whether
such activity is prohibited by Company’s conflict of interest
guidelines or this Agreement, and Director agrees to notify the
Board of Directors before engaging in any activity that creates a
potential conflict of interest with Company. Specifically, Director
shall not engage in any activity that is in direct competition with
the Company or serve in any capacity (including, but not limited
to, as an employee, consultant, advisor or director) in any company
or entity that competes directly with the Company, as reasonably
determined by a majority of the Board.
3.
Compensation and Benefits.
