Re: Offer of Employment
Dear Igal:
We are excited about your decision to join us at MAPCO Express, Inc. (the
“Company”). We are optimistic that the future will be mutually beneficial.
Our team is committed to being a growing company that achieves superior
financial results by consistently growing our sales and controlling our
expenses. We believe that our commitment to training, developing and retaining
performance-oriented team members will drive our success. We take great pride in
our people and the value of teamwork.
We believe in being credible and doing what we say we are going to do. If you
ever find this not to be true, please tell any one of the officers of the
Company and we will investigate the issue. We believe in treating everyone with
honesty, courtesy and respect. We embrace these values which help us to be a
special company.
The terms set forth below pertaining to compensation arrangements and officer
appointments are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the
Company and, as the case may be, its sole stockholder, Delek US Holdings, Inc.
(“Delek”).
Starting & Eligibility Dates. The commencement of your employment as the
President of the Company and its subsidiaries will be June 10, 2009 (the
“Commencement Date”). The Consulting Agreement between us dated February 2009
will terminate automatically upon the commencement of your employment. If you
choose to elect for medical benefits, your medical benefit effective date will
be the first day of your employment.
Compensation. Your base compensation will be at an annualized equivalent rate of
two hundred twenty thousand dollars ($220,000). In addition, you will be paid a
cash bonus of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) (the “Contract Bonus”) (i) within
thirty (30) calendar days after the later of the Commencement Date or your
execution of this letter and (ii) on each of the first two (2) anniversaries of
the Commencement Date (subject to your continued employment with us). If you
terminate your employment with the Company during the first thirty-six
(36) months following the Commencement Date, you will repay 100% of the most
recent Contract Bonus earned by you less a prorated amount of such Contract
Bonus equal to the period of your employment since the date the most recent
Contract Bonus was earned. The Company is on a bi-weekly pay cycle and base
compensation payments are made every other Friday. You will be classified as
salary exempt and will be eligible for the Company’s annual bonus program, if
any, in an amount not less than twenty-five percent (25%) and not more than
seventy-five percent (75%) of your annualized base compensation rate at the end
of the bonus year. The annual bonus shall be prorated for the period of actual
