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

 

AGREEMENT
1. Employment.
a. Position. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the
Term of Employment (as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement), the Purchaser
shall employ the Employee as the President of the Purchaser and the Subsidiary,
and the Employee agrees to serve as the President of the Purchaser and the
Subsidiary.
b. Duties. During the Term of Employment, the Employee shall:
i. devote the Employee’s entire productive time, skills, experience and
attention to the business of each Company, and ensure that the Employee is not
at any time engaged in conduct that would interfere with the performance by the
Employee of the Employee’s duties under this Agreement or which would constitute
a conflict with the interests of each Company; and
ii. well and faithfully serve each Company and carry out those responsibilities
as are necessary to perform the functions associated with the Employee’ s
position; and
iii. use the Employee’s best efforts while performing the Employee’s
responsibilities to promote the success of the business of each Company and act
at all times in the best interests of each Company;
iv. at all times comply with the policies and standards established by each
Company’s Board of Directors; and
v. not engage in any other business duties or pursuits, or directly or
indirectly render any services of a business, commercial, or professional nature
to any other person or organization, whether for compensation or otherwise, that
would interfere with the services of the Employee pursuant to this Agreement,
without the prior written consent of the Company’s Boards of Directors;
provided, however, the expenditure of reasonable amounts of times for
educational, charitable, or professional activities shall not be deemed a breach
of this Agreement, if those activities do not materially interfere with the
services required pursuant to this Agreement and shall not require the prior
written consent of the Company’s Boards of Directors; provided, further,
however, that these provisions shall not prohibit the Employee from making
passive personal investments or conducting private business affairs, if those
affairs do not materially interfere with the services of the Employee required
pursuant to this Agreement.
2. Term.
a. This Agreement and the Employee’ s employment hereunder shall become
effective at the Closing Date of the Merger and shall continue until the
earliest of: (i) an election by the Employee or the Purchaser to terminate this
Agreement after the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Time of the
Merger, (ii) the mutual agreement to terminate this

 

2

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

 

Agreement by the Purchaser and the Employee; or (iii) any termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement (the “Term of Employment”).
b. The Companies and the Employee understand and agree that, if Employee’s
employment shall not have been terminated after the three (3) year anniversary
of the Effective Time of the Merger, the Employee shall continue to be employed
as an “at-will” employee of each Company pursuant to the terms and subject to
the conditions of this Agreement.
3. Remuneration.
a. Base Compensation. During the Term of Employment and any extension thereof
pursuant to Section 2.b. of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pay to the
Employee as compensation for the performance of the Employee’s duties herein for
both Companies a salary at the rate of $200,000 per annum (the “Base Salary”),
payable in accordance with the Purchaser’s regular payroll procedures, but, in
any event, in no fewer than twelve (12) equal monthly installments. The Employee
and the Purchaser agree that such salary shall be reviewed annually and may be
otherwise increased from time to time by the Purchaser, and such revised annual
salary shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Base Salary.”
b. Bonus Compensation. In addition to the Base Salary, the Employee shall be
entitled to an annual bonus payment equal to four percent (4 %) of the net
profits of the Companies on a consolidated basis for each fiscal year of the
Purchaser in excess of $5,000,000 (the “Bonus Compensation”), payable at the end
of such fiscal year.
c. Benefits. During the Term of Employment, the Employee shall be entitled to
participate in all of the benefit plans available for employees of the Companies
in effect from time to time, in accordance with the terms of the formal plan
documents, including medical, dental, group life and disability plans, as of and
with effect from the Closing Date. The Employee’ s years of service with Target
prior to the Closing Date shall be counted as years of service with each Company
for purposes of eligibility and vesting (other than vesting with respect to any
equity-based compensation). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Purchaser shall include the Employee in a health insurance plan that is
comparable to the Aetna insurance plan maintained by the Target prior to the
Merger.
d. Stock Option Plans. During the Term of Employment, the Employee shall be
entitled to participate in all of the stock option plans available for employees
of the Companies in effect from time to time, in accordance with the terms of
the formal plan documents as of and with effect from the Closing Date.
e. Vacation. The Employee shall be entitled to six (6) weeks of paid vacation
per year. To the extent accrued vacation time is unused in any given year, it
may be carried over in accordance with the policies of the Purchaser then in
effect. At the end of the Term of Employment and any extension thereof pursuant
to Section 2(b) of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall compensate the Employee
for any unused vacation time.
f. Expenses. Each Company shall reimburse the Employee for all out-of-pocket
expenses and other disbursements actually and properly incurred by the Employee
in connection with the Employee’ s duties hereunder or otherwise properly
incurred by the Employee for and

 

3

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

 

on behalf of each respective Company, upon presentation of reasonably acceptable
evidence of the Employee having incurred such expenses and disbursements.
g. Automobile. During the first six months of the Term of Employment, the
Purchaser shall provide the Employee with an automobile allowance of $750.00 per
month, and following the first six months of the Term of Employment, an
automobile allowance of $1,500.00 per month, which allowance shall include the
cost of insurance, maintenance and repair of Employee’s personal automobile.
4. Termination.
a. Termination by Purchaser for Cause. The Purchaser may, during the Term of
Employment, terminate this Agreement and discharge the Employee for Cause (as
defined herein), whereupon the respective rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder shall terminate; provided, however, that the Company shall immediately
pay the Employee any amount due and owing pursuant to Section 3 prorated to the
date of termination. As used herein, the term “Cause” shall refer to the
termination of the Employee’s employment as a result of any one of the
following: (i) any conviction of, or pleading of nolo contendere or guilty by,
the Employee for any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude which if committed at
the work place or in connection with employment would have constituted a
material violation of either Company’s policy or a felony; (ii) any willful
misconduct of the Employee which has a materially injurious effect on the
business or reputation of either Company; or (iii) the gross dishonesty of the
Employee which has a materially injurious effect on the business or reputation
of either Company. For purposes of this Section 4.a, no act or failure to act,
on the part of the Employee, shall be considered “willful” if it is done, or
omitted to be done, by the Employee in good faith or with reasonable belief that
his action or omission was in the best interest of either Company. The Employee
shall have the opportunity to cure any such acts or omissions (other than item
(i) above) within thirty (30) days of the Employee’s receipt of a notice from
the Company finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Company, the Employee
is guilty of acts or omissions constituting “Cause.”
b. Termination Without Cause. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Purchaser shall not have the right, at any time during the
Term of Employment and any extension thereof pursuant to Section 2(b) of this
Agreement, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement and discharge the
Employee “without Cause”.
c. Termination for Death or Disability. The Employee’s employment shall
terminate automatically upon the Employee’s death during the Term of Employment.
If the Purchaser determines in good faith that the Disability (as defined below)
of the Employee has occurred during the Term of Employment, it shall give
written notice to the Employee of its intention to terminate his employment. In
such event, the Employee’s employment with the Purchaser shall terminate
effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Employee, unless
within the thirty (30) days after such receipt, the Employee shall have returned
to full-time performance of his duties. The term “Disability” shall mean the
absence of the Employee from the Employee’s duties with the Companies on a
full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due
to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and

 

4

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

 

permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable
to the Employee or the Employee’s legal representative.
d. Termination by Employee without Good Reason. Anything in this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Employee shall have the right, at any time
during the Term of Employment in his sole discretion, to terminate this
Agreement and his employment without Good Reason (i.e., prior breach by the
Purchaser or Purchaser’s failure to provide adequate financial or personnel
support to the activities of Employee) upon not less than ninety (90) days prior
written notice to the Purchaser. In the event the Employee voluntarily
terminates his employment hereunder other than for Good Reason, the respective
rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate; provided,
however, that the Purchaser shall immediately pay the Employee any amount due
and owing pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, prorated to the date of
termination.
5. Non-Competition. During the Term of Employment, the Employee shall not,
without Purchaser prior written consent, directly or indirectly, either as an
employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, member, manager,
stockholder, corporate officer, director, or in any other individual or
representative capacity, engage or participate in any business that is in any
competition in any manner whatsoever with the business of the Purchaser or the
Surviving Corporation. During the Term of Employment and for a period of one
year after termination of the Term of Employment, the Employee shall not,
directly or indirectly, solicit, hire, recruit, or encourage any employee of the
Companies to leave the service of the Companies; provided, however, that if the
Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation breaches any term, condition or covenant
in favor of Scotti, Takats, Red Cat, or JRT, the provisions of this Section 5
shall be null and void.
6. Parachute Tax Indemnity.
a. Gross-Up Payment.
i. If it shall be determined that any amount paid, distributed or treated as
paid or distributed by the Purchaser to or for the benefit of the Employee
(whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, any stock option agreement between the Employee and the
Purchaser or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments
required under this Section 6) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”) or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Employee with respect
to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and
penalties, being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then
the Employee shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up
Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the Employee of all federal,
state and local taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect
to such taxes), including without limitation, any income taxes (including any
interest or penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed on
the Gross up Payment, the Employee retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment
equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.
ii. The determinations of whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required under
this Section 6 shall be made by independent tax counsel (the “Tax Counsel”)
based on its

 

5

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

 

good faith interpretation of applicable law. The amount of such Gross-Up Payment
and the valuation assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination
shall be made by an independent nationally recognized accounting firm (the
“Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to
the Purchaser and the Employee within 15 business days of the receipt of notice
from the Employee that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is
requested by the Purchaser. The Tax Counsel and Accounting Firm shall be
appointed by the Purchaser after consultation in good faith with the Employee
and subject to the approval of the Employee (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld). All fees and expenses of any Tax Counsels and Accounting
Firms referred to above shall be borne by the Purchaser. Any Gross-Up Payment,
as determined pursuant to this Section 6, shall be paid by the Purchaser to the
Employee within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s
determination. Any determinations by the Tax Counsel and Accounting Firm shall
be binding upon the Purchaser and the Employee, provided, however, if it is
later determined that there has been an underpayment of Excise Tax and that the
Employee is required to make an additional Excise Tax payment(s) on any Payment
or Gross-Up Payment, the Purchaser shall provide a similar full gross up on such
additional liability.
iii. For purposes of any determinations made by any Tax Counsel and Accounting
Firm acting under Section 6.a.ii.:
(A) All Payments and Gross Up Payments with respect to the Employee shall be
deemed to be “parachute payments” under Section 280G(b) (2) of the Code and to
be “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G(b) (1) of the Code that are
fully subject to the Excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code, except to the
extent (if any) that such Tax Counsel determines in writing in good faith that a
Payment in whole or in part does not constitute a “parachute payment” or
otherwise is not subject to Excise Tax;
(B) The value of any non-cash benefits or deferred or delayed payments or
benefits shall be determined in a manner consistent with the principles of
Section 280G of the Code; and
(C) The Employee shall be deemed to pay federal, state and local income taxes at
the actual maximum marginal rate applicable to individuals in the calendar year
in which the Gross-Up Payment is made, net of any applicable reduction in
federal income taxes for any state and local taxes paid on the amounts in
question.
b. Claims and Proceedings. The Employee shall notify the Purchaser in writing of
any Excise Tax claim by the Internal Revenue Service (or any other state or
local taxing authority) that, if successful, would require the payment by the
Purchaser of a Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as
practicable but no later than twenty (20) business days after the Employee is
informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Purchaser of the nature
of such claim and the date on which such claim is to be paid. The Employee shall
not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30 day period following the
date on which it gives such notice to the Purchaser (or such shorter period
ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due).
If the Purchaser notifies the Employee in writing prior to the expiration of
such period that it desires to contest such Excise Tax claim, the

 

6

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

 

Employee shall: (i) give the Purchaser any information reasonably requested by
the Purchaser relating to such claim; (ii) take such action in connection with
contesting such claim as the Purchaser shall reasonably request in writing from
time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with
respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Purchaser after
consultation in good faith with the Employee and subject to approval by the
Employee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) under the
circumstances set forth in Section 6.a; (iii) cooperate with the Purchaser in
good faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and (iv) permit the
Purchaser to participate in any proceeding relating to such claim; provided,
however, that the Purchaser shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses
(including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such
contest and shall indemnify and hold the Employee harmless, on an after tax
basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with
respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs
and expense. Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6,
the Purchaser shall control the Excise Tax portion of any proceedings taken in
connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any
and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the
taxing authority in respect of such Excise Tax claim and may, at its sole
option, either direct the Employee to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund
or contest the Excise Tax claim in any permissible manner, and the Employee
agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative
tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate
courts, as the Purchaser shall determine. If the Purchaser directs the Employee
to pay such Excise Tax claim and sue for a refund, the Purchaser shall advance
the amount of such payment to the Employee, on an interest-free basis, and shall
indemnify and hold the Employee harmless, on an after tax basis, from any Excise
Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties) imposed with respect to
such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance;
and provided, however, that any Purchaser-directed extension of the statute of
limitations relating to payment of taxes for the Employee’s taxable year with
respect to which such contested Excise Tax amount is claimed to be due shall be
effective only if it can be and is limited to the contested Excise Tax
liability.
c. Refunds. If, after the Employee’s receipt of an amount advanced by the
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6 for payment of Excise Taxes, the Employee
files an Excise Tax refund claim and receives any refund with respect to such
claim, the Employee shall (subject to the Purchaser’s complying with the
requirements of this Section 6) except as provided below, promptly pay to the
Purchaser the amount of any such refund of Excise Tax (together with any
interest paid or credited thereon, but after any and all taxes applicable
thereto), plus the amount (after any and all taxes applicable-thereto) of the
refund (if any is applied for and received) of any income tax paid by the
Employee with respect to and as a result of his prior receipt of any previously
paid Gross-Up Payment indemnifying the Employee with respect to any such Excise
Tax later so refunded. In the event Employee files for a refund of the Excise
Tax and such request would, if successful, require the Employee to refund any
amount to the Purchaser pursuant to this provision, then the Employee shall be
required to seek a refund of the Income Tax portion of any corresponding
Gross-Up Payment so long as such refund request would not have a material
adverse effect on the Employee (which determination shall be made by independent
tax counsel selected by the Employee after good faith consultation with the
Purchaser and subject to approval of the Purchaser, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld). If, after the Employee’s receipt of an amount advanced
by the Purchaser pursuant to

 

7

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

 

this Section 6, a determination is made that the Employee shall not be entitled
to any refund with respect to such claim and the Purchaser does not notify the
Employee in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the
expiration of thirty (30) days after such determination, then such advance shall
be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such
advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of the Gross-Up Payment
required to be paid.
7. Uniqueness of Employees Services. The services to be provided by the Employee
pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual,
extraordinary, and intellectual character that gives those services a peculiar
value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in
damages in an action at law. Accordingly, in addition to any other rights or
remedies that the Companies may possess, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Companies shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to
prevent or remedy a breach of this Agreement by the Employee.
8. Indemnification. The Companies shall indemnify and hold the Employee harmless
from any and all liability or loss, damage, or injury to persons or property
resulting from the negligence or misconduct of the Companies, or either of them.
9. Trade Secrets.
a. The parties acknowledge and agree that during the Term of Employment and in
the course of the discharge of his duties hereunder, the Employee shall have
access to and become acquainted with financial, personnel, sales, scientific,
technical and other information regarding formulas, patterns, compilations,
programs, devices, methods, techniques, operations, plans and processes that are
owned by the Companies, actually or potentially used in the operation of the
Companies’ businesses, or obtained from third parties under an agreement of
confidentiality, and that such information constitutes the “Companies’ trade
secrets.” The term “Companies’ trade secrets” shall not include (i) the
knowledge and information acquired by the Employee before the Term of
Employment, (ii) any information that has become generally available to the
public other than as a result of disclosure by the Employee, nor (iii) any
information made available to the Employee on a non-confidential basis from any
person other than the Companies, unless such source was bound by a
confidentiality agreement with the Companies.
b. During the Term of Employment and for two years thereafter, the Employee
shall not misuse, misappropriate, or intentionally disclose in writing, orally
or by electronic means, any Companies’ trade secrets to any other person, except
as may be required in the course of his employment or otherwise required by law,
court order, subpoena, stock exchange or association, governmental agency, or
regulatory body.
c. The Employee shall not engage in sale or unauthorized use or disclosure in
writing, orally or by electronic means, of any of Companies’ trade secrets
obtained by the Employee during the course of his employment under this
Agreement, including information concerning the Companies’ actual or potential
work, services, or products, the facts that any such work, services, or products
are planned, under consideration, or in production, as well as any descriptions
thereof,.

d. All files, records, documents, drawings, specifications, equipment, software,

Companies’ businesses prepared by the Employee during the Term of Employment and
within the scope of his employment are and shall remain exclusively the property
of the Companies.
