Dear Ron;

 

As discussed, this letter of agreement and the accompanying Confidentiality,
Proprietary Rights and Non-Solicitation Agreement (“Confidentiality Agreement”)
have been prepared in recognition of your importance to SIRVA, Inc. and its
affiliates (hereafter collectively, “SIRVA” or the “Company”).  I am pleased to
confirm the terms of your new position:

 

Position:  Your new position will be Executive Vice-President – Restructuring
and Chief Risk Officer and has been re-classed to the SEB 19 band.

 

Salary: Your current salary will be adjusted to $275,000 annually, payable in
bi-weekly installments.  The salary is quoted on an annual basis for convenience
only and does not imply employment for a specific term, nor alter the “at will”
status of your employment.

 

Effective Date:  December 13, 2005

 

MIP:  For 2005 you will receive a guaranteed bonus of $100,000 under the
Management Incentive Program (MIP) provided you are still employed by SIRVA as
of December 31, 2005, or your employment was terminated by SIRVA prior to that
date “without cause” as defined below.  You will receive the guaranteed bonus at
the same time that the 2005 MIP bonus is paid to other eligible participants,
but in no event will you receive the $100,000 guaranteed bonus later than
March 31, 2005.  You will be eligible to participate in SIRVA’s Management
Incentive Program in 2006, which at your position has the potential award of 70%
of your base salary, subject to the terms of the program.

 

The term “without cause” means a termination of your employment by SIRVA for
reasons other than (i) the continued failure to complete your assigned duties
and responsibilities in a professional and businesslike manner and in accordance
with SIRVA’s Code of Business Conduct and related policies and your fiduciary
duties; (ii) serious misconduct connected with work or that is reasonably
expected to result in material injury to SIRVA, Inc. or any of its affiliates
(collectively, “SIRVA”), (iii) conviction of, or entering a plea of guilty or
nolo contendere to, a crime that constitutes a felony, or (iv) the willful or
material breach of any of your obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement
or under any other written agreement or covenant with SIRVA.

 

Executive Benefits:

 

The following executive benefits will be maintained for you notwithstanding the
salary band for your new position.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Company Car Allowance:

 

$12,000 annually

Financial Planning:

 

AYCO

Executive Physical:

 

$1,500 annually

 

Success Bonus

 

You are eligible to receive a Success Bonus of $100,000.  The purpose of the
bonus is to encourage you, as a key employee, to continue your employment during
this critical period and facilitate the prompt filing of the 2004 annual report.

 

Payment of the Success Bonus is contingent upon (a) the Company’s filing with
the SEC of its annual report on Form 10-K for 2004 by November 30, 2005; (b) you
remaining employed by and supporting SIRVA through the 10-K filing date;
(c) completing your assigned duties and responsibilities in a professional and
businesslike manner and in accordance with SIRVA’s Code of Business Conduct and
related policies and your fiduciary duties, and the absence of any finding that
you materially failed to do so during the term of your employment; (d) providing
SIRVA with your full cooperation in any and all independent reviews,
investigations and proceedings which relate to matters that you had knowledge of
during the term of your employment; (e) maintaining a positive work environment
and providing leadership for SIRVA associates during this critical period;
(f) maintaining the confidentiality of the terms of this letter; (g) complying
with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement; and (h) signing a general
release of claims in a form satisfactory to the Company.

 

If these conditions are satisfied, the Success Bonus will be paid to you as soon
as practicable following the filing of the 2004 annual report with the SEC but
in no event later than November 30, 2005.

 

Enhanced Severance Benefit:  In the event you are terminated by SIRVA “without
cause”, you will be eligible to receive severance pay at your base salary and
continued health benefits until the earlier of (a) one year after termination of
your employment with SIRVA or (b) you obtain new full-time employment.  This
enhanced severance benefit is in lieu of any amounts that would otherwise be
payable to you under any severance plan, policy or program.

 

To be entitled to receive this enhanced severance benefit, your employment must
be terminated with SIRVA without cause and you must comply with subparts
(c) through (h) of the second paragraph following the Success Bonus heading
above.

 

The offering of the Success Bonus, guaranteed MIP payout and enhanced severance
benefit does not alter the at-will nature of the employment relationship. 
However, if you decide to leave SIRVA prior to satisfying all conditions for
payment of one or more of these benefits, or otherwise fail to satisfy any of
the conditions described above, you will not be entitled to receive the Success
Bonus, 2005 MIP payout and/or enhanced severance benefit, as applicable.

 

I have enclosed a copy of this letter for your records.  If you are in agreement
with the terms contained herein, please sign, date and return the enclosed copy
of the offer letter and the Confidentiality Agreement and return them to me in
the enclosed envelope.

 

Congratulations on your continued role.  We are very excited and look forward to
your continued contributions!   If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to call me at 630 570-3694.
