EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

AGREEMENT dated as of the 1st day of August, 2005, by and between CANTEL MEDICAL
CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and JAMES P. REILLY (the
“Employee”).

 

Introduction

 

Employee is currently employed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company pursuant to an Employment Agreement dated as of October 16, 2003 (the
“2003 Agreement”), which expires under its terms on July 31, 2005.  Employee and
the Company desire to enter into a new employment agreement that will take
effect immediately and automatically upon the expiration of the 2003 Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is
hereby agreed by and between the Company and Employee as follows:

 

1.                                       Engagement and Term.  The Company
hereby employs Employee and Employee hereby accepts such employment by the
Company on the terms and conditions set forth herein, for the period commencing
as of August 1, 2005 (the “Effective Date”) and ending, unless sooner terminated
in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 hereof, on July 31, 2007 (the
“Employment Period”).  As used in this Agreement, the term “Contract Year” shall
refer to each twelve-month period during the Employment Period ending July 31.

 

2.                                       Scope of Duties.  Employee shall be
employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer.  In such
capacities, Employee shall have such authority, powers and duties customarily
attendant upon such offices.  If elected or appointed, Employee shall also
serve, without additional compensation, in one or more offices and, if and when
elected, as a

 

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

 

director of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, provided
that his duties and responsibilities are not inconsistent with those pertaining
to his position as stated above.  Employee agrees to perform the duties
associated with his employment to the best of his abilities, and shall
faithfully devote his full business time and efforts so as to advance the best
interests of the Company.  During the Employment Period, Employee shall not be
engaged in any other business activity, whether or not such business activity is
pursued for profit or other pecuniary advantage, unless otherwise approved in
writing by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

3.                                       Compensation.

 

3.1                                 Base Salary.  In respect of services to be
performed by Employee during the Employment Period, the Company agrees to pay
Employee a base salary (“Base Salary”) at the rate of $450,000 per annum during
the initial Contract Year and $500,000 per annum during the second Contract
Year, payable in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices for
executive employees.

 

3.2                                 Incentive Compensation.  For each Contract
Year during the Employment Period (commencing with the Contract Year ending
July 31, 2006), Employee shall be paid, as additional compensation for his
services, a bonus (the “Bonus”) based on the increase in the Company’s earnings
per share.  The Bonus for each Contract Year shall be equal to three and
three-eighths percent (3-3/8%) (the “Multiple”) of Employee’s annual Base Salary
for such Contract Year for every one cent ($.01) increase in the EPS (as defined
below) for such Contract Year over the EPS for the Company’s immediately
preceding Contract Year (which, for purposes of this Section 3.2 shall be deemed
to include, where applicable, the fiscal year ending July 31, 2005).

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

 

3.2.1                        “EPS” shall mean the diluted earnings per share of
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for a given Contract Year of the
Company as set forth in its audited financial statements, adjusted to exclude
the Bonus and any other bonus paid or payable to Employee with respect to such
Contract Year; provided, however, that (i) for purposes of determining the Bonus
for the Contract Year ending July 31, 2006, EPS for the Contract Years ending
July 31, 2006 and 2005 shall include the operations of Carsen Group Inc.
(“Carsen”) but shall exclude (a) all amounts paid or payable under the Agreement
dated as of July 25, 2005 among the Company, Carsen, Olympus America Inc. and
Olympus Surgical & Industrial America, Inc. (collectively “Olympus”), and (b)
all wind-down costs associated with or arising out of the termination of the
Olympus (and any other) distribution business of Carsen (e.g., severance
payments to employees, lease obligations related to the termination, etc.) and
(ii) for purposes of determining the Bonus for the Contract Year ending July 31,
2007, EPS for the Contract Years ending July 31, 2007 and 2006 shall exclude any
and all operations of Carsen (whether discontinued or continuing; and further,
provided, however that for purposes of determining the Bonus for the Contract
Years ending July 31, 2006 and 2007, EPS for all Contract Years shall exclude
any impact on EPS directly attributable to the recording of employee stock
compensation expense.

 

3.2.2                        Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to
Section 4), in the event that Employee is not employed hereunder during a full
Contract Year, the amount of the Bonus for such Contract Year shall be
calculated by first determining the amount of the Bonus for the full Contract
Year (determined by the calculation above), and then multiplying such amount by
a number (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of days during the
Contract Year that Employee is employed hereunder and (ii) the denominator of
which shall be 365.  The Bonus for a Contract Year shall be determined as soon
as practicable following the end of such year, and payable not later than ten
(10) days following completion of the Company’s audited financial statements for
such year.

 

3.2.3                        The amount of the Bonus shall be determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to final
approval by the

 

3

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

 

Board.

 

3.2.4                        Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the
Bonus for any Contract Year exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base
Salary for such Contract Year.

 

3.2.5                        In the event of changes in the outstanding shares
of the Company during any Contract Year by reason of stock dividends, stock
splits, reorganizations and the like, both the EPS for the prior Contract Year
and the Multiple shall be correspondingly adjusted by the Company.

 

3.3                                 Discretionary Compensation.  Employee shall
also be entitled to such additional increases in Base Salary, bonuses and stock
options as may be determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

3.4                                 Life Insurance.  Provided that Employee is
insurable at rates that are comparable to those obtainable on other persons of
similar age and position in good health (if Employee is classified in a higher
risk category, he may elect to pay the excess premium cost to

 

4

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

 

obtain the coverage), during the Employment Period the Company shall procure and
maintain term life insurance on the life of Employee in the face amount of
$500,000.  Employee shall be the owner of such life insurance policy and shall
have the absolute right to designate the beneficiaries thereunder.  The Company
shall pay all premiums for such life insurance.  Employee agrees to submit to
all medical examinations, supply all information and execute all documents
required by insurance companies in connection with the issuance of such policy.

 

3.5                                 Use of Automobile.  During the Employment
Period, Employee shall be entitled to the use of an automobile leased or owned
by the Company in connection with the Company’s business.  The make and model of
the automobile shall be reasonably satisfactory to Employee, provided that the
Company’s monthly payments in respect thereof (exclusive of the expenses
referred to in the following sentence) shall not exceed $700.  In lieu of the
foregoing, the Company may pay Employee an automobile allowance of $700 a
month.  Employee shall also be entitled to receive reimbursement for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses related to the automobile, including, without limitation,
cost of gas, oil, insurance and other costs incurred by Employee in operating
and maintaining the automobile; provided, however, that Employee shall be
responsible for keeping appropriate records regarding the use of said
automobile, as instructed by the Company or its accountants.

 

3.6                                 Other Benefits.

 

3.6.1              During the Employment Period, Employee shall be entitled to
participate, at Company expense (subject to applicable employee contribution
requirements imposed by the Company from time to time on its employees
generally), in the medical and dental health insurance plan, and all other
health, insurance and other benefit plans applicable generally to executive
officers of the Company on the same basis as such officers.  In addition,

 

5

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

 

Employee shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s 401(k) benefit plan.

appropriate receipts or vouchers therefor, consistent with the Company’s policy

3.6.4              In the event of a “Change in Control” (as defined in

any party subsequent to such termination be an offset to the amount of any
payment hereunder.

terminated by the Company without cause (i.e., for a reason outside the scope of
Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4), then, in addition to payments and benefits
accrued and due and payable to Employee prior to the termination date, the
Company shall continue payments to Employee of his Base Salary through July 31,

5.                                       Consulting Services.

 

5.1                                 During the five-year period following the
termination of Employee’s employment hereunder (for any reason whatsoever,
including without limitation, termination by Employee under Section 4.5, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement), whether by the
Company or by Employee, and whether during the Employment Term or thereafter
(e.g., due to the failure to renew this Agreement or enter into a new employment
agreement), Employee agrees to make himself available to provide consulting
services to the Company as the Company’s Chairman of the Board may reasonably
request in writing.  Such services shall be limited to counseling and advising
the directors and the principal executive officers concerning the Company’s
business.  Employee acknowledges that (i) such services will be provided solely
as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Company and (ii) he
will not be entitled to any employment rights or benefits of the Company.  The
consulting services shall be provided at mutually convenient times and places;
provided, however, that in no event shall Employee be obligated to (i) provide
services in any manner other than by telephone or in person at meetings at the
Company’s offices in Little Falls, New Jersey or (ii) expend more than ten hours
a month during the first year of the consulting term nor more than five hours a
month during the remainder of the consulting term.

 

5.2                                 In consideration for the consulting
services, the Company agrees to pay Employee a Consulting Fee, as defined below,
commencing on the first anniversary of the termination date and continuing on
each of the next four anniversaries thereafter.  The

 

11

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

 

Consulting Fee shall be equal to $105,910 per year as adjusted pursuant to the
terms of this paragraph.  Commencing August 1, 2006, the Consulting Fee shall be
increased annually by an amount established by reference to the “Consumer Price
Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, New York, New York, all items
“Series A-01” published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States
Department of Labor (the “Consumer Price Index”).  The base period shall be the
month ended May 31, 2005 (the “Base Period”).  If the Consumer Price Index for
the month of May in any year, commencing in 2006, is greater than the Consumer
Price Index for the Base Period, then the Consulting Fee shall be increased,
commencing on the next anniversary of the termination date, to the amount
obtained by multiplying Base Consulting Fee by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the Consumer Price Index for the month of May of the year in which such
determination is being made and the denominator of which is the Consumer Price
Index for the Base Period.  In order to enable the Company to obtain the
commitment of Employee to make his services available for the consulting
relationship contemplated hereby, the Company has assumed the risk of Employee’s
death during the term hereof, and in the event of Employee’s death while this
Agreement is in effect, the Company shall, following notice of Employee’s death,
pay the remaining severance hereunder to Employee’s wife or other designated
beneficiary on the same installment basis.  The Consulting Fee hereunder is in
addition to, and shall in no way reduce, amounts payable to Employee under
Sections 4.1 and 4.2.

 

6.                                       Disclosure of Confidential Information,
Assignment of Inventions, and Covenants Not to Compete.

 

6.1                                 Confidential Information.  Employee
acknowledges that the Company (which term, for purposes of Section 6 shall be
deemed to include Cantel Medical Corp. and all

 

12

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

 

of its direct and indirect subsidiaries) possesses confidential information,
know-how, customer lists, purchasing, merchandising and selling techniques and
strategies, and other information used in its operations of which Employee has
or will obtain knowledge, and that the Company will suffer serious and
irreparable damages and harm if this confidential information were disclosed to
any other party or if Employee used this information to compete against the
Company.  Accordingly, Employee hereby agrees that except as required by
Employee’s duties to the Company, Employee, without the consent of the Company’s
Board of Directors, shall not at any time during or after the Employment Period
disclose or use any secret or confidential information of the Company,
including, without limitation, such business opportunities, customer lists,
trade secrets, formulas, techniques and methods of which Employee shall become
informed during his employment, whether learned by him as an employee of the
Company, as a member of its Board of Directors or otherwise, and whether or not
developed by Employee, unless such information shall be or becomes public
knowledge other than as a result of Employee’s direct or indirect disclosure of
the same.

 

6.2                                 Patent and Related Matters.

 

6.2.1                        Inventions.  Employee will promptly disclose in
writing to the Company complete information concerning each and every invention,
discovery, improvement and idea (whether or not shown or described in writing or
reduced to practice), and device, design, apparatus, process, and work of
authorship, whether or not patentable, copyrightable or registerable, which is
made, developed, perfected, devised, conceived or first reduced to practice by
Employee, either solely or in collaboration with others, during the Employment
Period, whether or not during regular working hours (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the “Inventions”).  Employee, to the extent that he has the legal
right to do so, hereby acknowledges

 

13

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

 

that any and all of the Inventions are property of the Company and hereby
assigns and agrees to assign to the Company any and all of Employee’s right,
title and interest in and to any and all of the Inventions.

 

6.2.2                        Limitation.  It is further agreed and Employee is
hereby notified that the above agreement to assign the Inventions to the Company
does not apply to an Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or
confidential information of the Company was used and which was developed
entirely on Employee’s own time, and

 

(i)                                     which does not relate (a) directly to
the business of the Company or (b) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development, or

 

(ii)                                  which does not result from any work
performed by Employee for the Company.

 

6.2.3                        Assistance.  Upon request and without further
compensation therefor, but at no expense to Employee, and whether during the
Employment Period or thereafter, Employee will do all lawful acts, including,
but not limited to, the execution of documents and instruments and the giving of
testimony, that in the opinion of the Company, its successors and assigns, may
be necessary or desirable in obtaining, sustaining, reissuing, extending or
enforcing United States and foreign copyrights and Letters Patent, including,
but not limited to, design patents, on any and all of the Inventions, and for
perfecting, affirming and recording the Company’s complete ownership and title
thereto, and to cooperate otherwise in all proceedings and matters relating
thereto.

 

6.2.4                        Records.  Employee will keep complete, accurate and
authentic accounts, notes, data and records of all the Inventions in the manner
and form requested by the

 

14

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

 

Company.  Such accounts, notes, data and records shall be the property of the
Company, and upon its request, Employee will promptly surrender the same to it.

 

Upon the termination of his employment hereunder, Employee agrees to deliver
promptly to the Company all equipment (including computers, etc.), records,
manuals, books, blank forms, documents, letters, memoranda, notes, notebooks,
reports, data, tables, accounts, calculations and copies thereof, which are the
property of the Company or which relate in any way to the business, products,
practices or techniques of the Company, and all other property, trade secrets
and confidential information of the Company, including, but not limited to, all
documents which in whole or in part contain any trade secrets or confidential
information of the Company, which in any of these cases are in his possession or
under his control.

 

6.3                                 Non-Compete.  Employee agrees that for a
period of twelve (12) months following the termination of Employee’s employment
hereunder, except as a result of the breach by the Company of any material term
or condition hereof (a “Breach”), Employee will not, directly or indirectly,
alone or with others, individually or through or by a corporate or other
business entity in which he may be interested as a partner, shareholder, joint
venturer, officer, director, employee or otherwise, own, manage, control,
participate in, lend his name to, or render services to or for any business
within the continental United States or Canada which is competitive with that of
the Company, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to
prevent the ownership by Employee of up to five (5%) percent of any class of
securities of any corporation which is regularly traded on any stock exchange or
over-the-counter market.  For the purpose of this Agreement, a business activity
competitive with the business of the Company shall include only the design,

similar to or compete with, or have a usage allied to, Products being developed,
marketed, sold or distributed by the Company at any time during the last twelve
months of Employee’s employment by the Company.

 

6.4                                 Non-interference.  Employee further agrees
that for a period of two years following termination of Employee’s employment
hereunder, he will not (i) induce or attempt to induce any other employee of the
Company to leave the employ of the Company, or in any way interfere with the
relationship between the Company and any other employee, or (ii) induce or
attempt to induce any customer, supplier, franchisee, licensee, distributor or
other business relation of the Company to cease doing business with the Company,
or in any way interfere with the relationship between any customer, franchisee
or other business relation and the Company without prior written consent of the
Board of Directors of the Company.

 

6.5                                 Enforcement.  If, at the time of enforcement
of any provisions of this Section, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that
the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under the circumstances then
existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or
geographical area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for
the stated period, scope or area.  Employee agrees that the covenants made in
this Section shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other

Agreement.
