|
Dear
Jeff:
This letter is
to modify and clarify the Agreement, effective as of the date
written above. Accordingly, the following modifications
and clarifications are made to the Agreement:
|
|
|
The parties
hereby acknowledge that the current term of your employment was
extended to January 31, 2011 by the operative provisions contained
in Section 1 of the Agreement, subject to earlier termination or
automatic extension as contemplated therein.
|
|
|
|
Section 2 shall
be continued as in the previous year, by modifying Section 2 as
follows:
|
Salary . Effective as of January 1, 2009 and
for the remaining term of the Agreement (including any extensions
thereto), the Company shall pay the Employee a base salary per
month of $31,250 and all other payments and benefits provided for
in the Agreement, including Section 4 hereof (as it may be
increased (but not decreased) in the discretion of the Compensation
Committee, “Base Salary”).
|
|
|
The bonus
program described in Section 3 shall continue consistent with past
practice and is amended and restated as follows:
|
Bonus . Starting on the Effective Date, you
shall be eligible for a performance bonus payable 50% in cash and
50% in vested restricted stock established from the 2007-2009
Annual Incentive Plan (or in future years, based upon a
substantially similar plan), based upon mutually agreed to goals
between you and the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Compensation
Committee”). The performance bonus and payment for 2007
– 2010 shall be based upon achieving certain goals as set
forth in Exhibit 1 to the July 30, 2007 Agreement (as modified by
the Compensation Committee pursuant to its meeting on April 8, 2008
(Exhibit A)) and for purposes of calendar years 2009 and 2010,
those goals, including the Targeted Performance Bonus-Annual, set
forth for year 2008 in Exhibit 1 shall be applied for said years
2009 and 2010. Any additional shares of Restricted Stock that may
be required to be issued to meet any of the payments required
herein shall be immediately issued by the Company. Provided,
however, no additional shares of Restricted Stock will be issued by
the Company, if such shares are required as a result of termination
under Sections 6, 8, and/or 5C of this Agreement, and in such event
the Company will be required to provide an equivalent payment to
you for each share not issued, in an amount equal to $2.00 per
share. Bonuses shall be paid no later than March 15th of
the year following the year to which the bonus relates.
|
|
|
The first
paragraph of Section 5C. shall be clarified and restated by the
following two paragraphs:
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or in any other applicable plan, but subject to the
following sentences, upon a Change of Control of the Company, all
stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units shall
vest immediately upon such Change of Control and all performance
conditions of any and all cash bonuses and performance stock
options or Restricted Stock shall be deemed to be met and the term
to exercise any stock options will be equal to the term of the
stock option originally granted. Provided, however, the amount of
any cash bonuses or Restricted Stock triggered by the Change of
Control shall be limited to an amount equal to the “Targeted
Performance Bonus Annual,” set forth in Exhibit 1 attached to
the July 30, 2007 Agreement ($375,000, per year and 187,500 shares,
per year) for the year of the Change of Control and each year
thereafter remaining in the term (as such term exists on the date
of such Change of Control). The cash portion of such
bonuses shall be paid within the time provided in Section
3. Provided, further, no additional shares of Restricted
Stock will be issued that may be required to be issued beyond the
existing unvested previously issued Restricted Stock held by you
(239,313 shares as of the date hereof) to meet the requirements of
this Section 5C, however, the Company shall pay to you within the
time provided in Section 3, in lieu of said undistributed
Restricted Stock, an amount equal to $2.00 per share within the
time provided in Section 3. See attached Schedule I for an
illustration of payment required under this Section 5C of the
Agreement.
