2. Duties.

 
2.1. Position. The Company hereby employs Executive in a professional capacity
with the titles of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and
Executive hereby accepts such employment and undertakes and agrees to serve in
such capacities. The Corporation agrees that as sole member of the Company, as
long as Executive is serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, Executive shall be the General Manager of the Company and shall be the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. In such capacities,
Executive shall oversee, direct and manage all of the day-to-day operations of
the Company and shall have such powers, perform such duties and fulfill such
responsibilities typically associated with such positions
(“Authority”)(including the positions Executive holds in the Corporation and in
connection therewith, Executive’s Authority shall be in accordance with the
Authority that Executive would have in publically-owned and held companies)
including, without limitation, planning, supervision and control of the
operations and financial affairs of the Company, management and direction of the
Company’s operating divisions, and such other general powers and duties of an
operational or supervisory nature usually vested in the offices held by him.
Executive is entering into this Agreement with the understanding that he shall
be elected as a Director of the Corporation by the shareholders of the
Corporation and on the condition that Executive shall serve on the Corporation’s
Board of Directors (the “Board”) as Chairman of the Board. The Corporation
agrees to obtain and maintain Officers’ and Directors’ liability insurance
covering Executive and other members of the Board in such amounts and under
policies as are reasonably satisfactory to Executive. Executive shall use his
best efforts to advance the interests and business of the Company. Performance
of his duties hereunder shall in no event require that Executive work on a
regular basis at any location other than within twenty (20) miles of his present
office location. Executive shall devote substantially all of his working time
and efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder. Executive shall report
directly to the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and shall have the
authority to hire and discharge any employee or independent contractor of the
Company or its affiliates. Executive shall receive the same compensation and
benefits as other members of the Board and which shall be in addition to the
compensation and benefits payable to Executive pursuant to Section 3. The
provisions of this Agreement shall also be binding upon and inure to the
Company, Corporation and Executive for the positions Executive holds in the
Corporation. Accordingly, Executive shall receive no additional compensation for
serving as an officer of the Corporation, unless Executive and the Corporation
mutually agree otherwise.

2.2. Limitation on Other Employment. During the term of his employment
hereunder, Executive will not engage in any other occupation for gain, profit or
pecuniary advantage, without the consent of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation; provided, however, that this limitation shall not be construed as
preventing him from (a) serving on the board of directors of any corporation not
directly competitive with the Company, or engaging in charitable or civic
activities and (b) investing or trading in securities or other forms of
investment, in each case so long as such activities do not materially interfere
with the performance of his duties hereunder and such investments do not
represent the ownership of 5% or more of the capital stock of publicly traded
entities.
 
2.3. Indemnification. The Company and the Corporation shall indemnify Executive
for all amounts (including without limitation, judgments, liens, settlement
payments, expenses and attorneys’ fees) incurred or paid by Executive in
connection with any action, suit, investigation or proceeding arising out of or
relating to the performance by Executive of services for, or the acting by
Executive as an officer (including Chairman of the Board) or employee of, the
Company or the Corporation, or any other enterprise at the Company’s request.

 
3. Compensation.

 
3.1. Base Salary. In consideration of the services rendered hereunder, the
Company shall pay Executive during the Initial Term of this Agreement a base
salary at the rate of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand ($350,000.00) Dollars per
annum or at such higher rate as the Corporation’s Board of Directors may
reasonably determine (“Base Salary”) payable by the Company in accordance with
the Company’s normal payroll practices and shall also be subject to normal
payroll deductions. If, during the first three (3) months of employment (or such
other period as Executive may determine), Executive believes that it is in the
best interest of the Company that Executive’s Base Salary be reduced for a
period of time, Executive shall so inform the Company and his Base Salary shall
be reduced accordingly. However, notwithstanding such reduction on a temporary
basis, Executive shall be entitled to receive any Base Salary not so paid upon
Executive requesting payment of same.

 
The amount of Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed annually by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation, but shall not be reduced without written consent
of Executive and shall in all events be increased annually by at least the
percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners - New York,
N.Y. - Northeastern N.J. (“CPI”). Executive and the Corporation may agree on a
higher Base Salary for any Renewal Term of this Agreement but if they do not
agree by the beginning of a Renewal Term, Executive’s Base Salary shall be the
Base Salary he received in the year immediately prior to the Renewal Term
increased by the percentage change in the CPI.

 
3-2. Bonus. To further the attainment of the Company’s long-term profit and
growth objectives, Executive shall be eligible to receive an incentive bonus on
an annual basis (“Bonus”). Specific annual entitlements to bonus awards shall be
predicated on Executive’s performance and subject to the Company achieving its
operating targets and other criteria determined by the Board. It is anticipated
that the Bonus shall be $150,000 annually but the amount thereof is not
guaranteed and shall be determined by the Board.

execution of this Agreement. Executive’s participation in all Benefit Programs
shall be at a level and on terms and conditions that are commensurate with his
positions and responsibilities. Further, the Company shall pay the cost of

limitation, insurance, service, repairs, gasoline, tires, oil, washing and

Subsection 5.2(b) herein, the Company shall pay Executive’s estate or designated

hereunder for “Good Reason” (i) upon the failure by the Corporation (or its
shareholders as the case may be) to elect or reelect or to appoint or reappoint
Executive as a member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation or to the
offices of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, President,
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Corporation or
Executive not serving as General Manager of the Company, provided that the
Corporation is the sole member or owns such membership interests or other
interests in the Company giving the Corporation voting control of the Company or
(ii) after the occurrence, without the written consent of Executive, of an event
constituting a material breach of this Agreement by the Company or the
Corporation that has not been fully cured within ten (10) business days after
written notice thereof has been given by Executive to the Company and the
Corporation, or (iii) upon the occurrence of any action taken by the Company or
the Corporation which would constitute a constructive termination; provided,

entitled on the basis of the amount provided in Section 4 or of years of service
with the Company in accordance with the Company’s normal vacation policy in
effect immediately prior to Change in Control, whichever is greater;

 
(vi) the failure of a successor to the Company to expressly assume and agree to
perform this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.6 hereof.

 
(vii) notwithstanding subsections (i) - (iv) above, in the event that at any
time during Executive’s employment under this Agreement, the Company or the
Corporation experiences a Change in Control and, within either six (6) months
before the Change in Control or twelve (12) months after the Change in Control,

the termination year, reimbursement for expenses incurred in accordance with
Section 4.3 and continued participation in the Benefit Programs, through the

Executive’s employment shall be deemed to continue for the balance of the

with the equivalent benefits. The Company will pay the total costs of

peiiod Executive will have full use of the Company-supplied automobile.

Agreement, but for not less than two (2) years, Bonus and participation in
Benefit Programs, reimbursement for expenses incurred in accordance with Section
4.3, accrued but unpaid vacation pay and may retain any computer and cell phones
provided for him (the “Severance Period”).

 
The salary and fringe benefits to be paid or provided under this Section
5.3(b)(ii) are referred to herein as the “Termination Compensation”. Executive
shall not be entitled to any Termination Compensation unless: (i) Executive
complies with all restrictions in Section 6, and (ii) Executive executes and
delivers to the Company after a notice of termination a release in form and
substance acceptable to the Company, by which Executive releases the Company
from any obligations and liabilities of any type whatsoever under this
Agreement, except for the Company’ s obligations with respect to the Termination
Compensation, and that release shall not affect Executive’s right to
indemnification, if any, for actions taken within the scope of his employment or
as an officer of the Company or the Corporation. The Company and the Corporation
shall also release Executive from any and all obligations and liabilities.
Notwithstanding anything herein, no Termination Compensation shall be paid or
otherwise provided until all applicable revocation periods have fully expired,
and the mutual release becomes fully and finally enforceable. The parties hereto
acknowledge that the Termination Compensation to be provided under this Section
5.3(b)(ii) is in consideration for Executive’s release.
 
(c) Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change
in Control” shall mean, and be deemed to have occurred upon: (i) a sale or
transfer of substantially all of the classes of stock of the Corporation or the
membership interests (or other equity interests) of the Company in any
transaction or series of related transactions (other than sales in the ordinary
course of business); (ii) any merger, consolidation or reorganization to which
the Company or the Corporation is a party (except for a merger, consolidation or
reorganization in which the Company or the Corporation is the surviving entity)
and, after giving effect to such merger, consolidation or reorganisation, the
holders of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock (on a fully-diluted
basis) or the owners of membership interests of the Company immediately prior to
the merger, consolidation or reorganization, are not the holders of the capital
stock or the owners of membership interests holding a majority of the voting
power of the Corporation or the Company, as the case may be after the merger,
consolidation or reorganization; (iii) any sale or series of sales of shares of
the Corporation’s capital stock or the Company’s membership interests by the
holders or owners thereof, as the case may be, which results in any person or
group of affiliated persons owning capital stock or membership interests holding
a majority of the voting power of the Corporation or the Company, as the case
may be, being different than the owners of such capital stock of the Corporation
or such membership interests in the Company, as the case may be, prior to any
such sale or series of such sales; (iv) any circumstance by which the persons
who constitute the Corporation’s Board of Directors as of the date hereof cease
for any reason to constitute a majority of the directors of the Corporation; or
((v) the Corporation is not the sole member of the Company.

 
5.4. Compensation Upon Termination by the Company without Cause. If the Company
terminates Executive’s employment hereunder without “Cause,” the Company shall
pay Executive the amounts described in Section 5,3(b)(ii).

 
5.5. Insurance. As soon as practicable and if available on commercially
reasonable terms, the Company shall purchase key man insurance sufficient to

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

 
 
5.6. Successor. The Company, or any entity which controls the Company, shall
require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or
assets of the Company by written agreement expressly to assume and agree to
perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company
would be required to perform if no such succession had occurred. Failure of the
Company or a controlling entity to obtain such agreement prior to the effective
date of any such succession followed by failure of the successor to honor this
Agreement shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive to the
rights and benefits hereunder as though he had terminated his employment with
the Company for Good Reason pursuant to paragraph 5.3 hereof (including those
provisions which concern compensation following a Change in Control), whether or
not he terminates his employment with the Company. As used in this Agreement,
“Company” shall mean the Company as defined above and any successor to all or
substantially all of its business or assets which becomes bound by all of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 
5.7. No Mitigation by Executive. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the
amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment
or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for herein be reduced
by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by another
employer; provided, however, that if Executive becomes employed with another
employer and is eligible to receive health and/or medical benefits under such
other employer’s plans, Executive’s continued benefits and/or plan coverage as
set forth in Sections 5.2(d), 5.3 or 5.4, as the case may be, shall be reduced
to the extent that comparable benefits and/or coverage is provided under such
other employer’s plans.

 
6. Restrictions.

 
6.1. Confidential Information. Executive agrees that during and after the period
of his employment he will not, without authorization from the Company, divulge,
disclose or otherwise communicate to any person or company any information of a
confidential nature pertaining to specific details of the Company’s or the
Corporation’s business, functions or operations, except in connection with the
discharge of his duties hereunder, or pursuant to the order of a court of
competent jurisdiction. Executive further agrees that, upon termination of his
employment with the Company for any reason, he will promptly return to the
Company all books and records of or pertaining to the Company’s or the
Corporation’s business, and all other property belonging to the Company or the
Corporation which is in his custody or possession.

 
6.2. Non-Compete. During his employment by the Company and in the event he is
terminated by the Company for Cause or terminates his employment without Good
Reason, for twelve (12) months thereafter, subject to Section 2.2 above,
Executive shall not compete with the Company in any activity relating to the
business of the Company as conducted by the Company during the term of this
Agreement. For purposes of the preceding sentence, competition shall include,
without limitation, direct or indirect competition by Executive, whether as an
owner, officer, director, employer, partner, consultant, advisor, contractor,
principal, agent, licensor, employee or affiliate of a person firm, venture or
corporation that so competes with the Company. Without the prior written
approval of the Board of Directors, provided the Corporation is the sole member
of the Company, and if not, without the prior written approval of the Company,
Executive further agrees that during the twelve (12) month period following the
termination of this Agreement for any reason he will not solicit for employment
any employee of the Company or the Corporation.

 
6.3. Cause of Action. The parties hereby declare that the rights of the Company
are of a unique nature, the loss of which may cause irreparable harm, and that
it may be impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to the
Company or the Corporation by reason of the loss of such rights or a failure by
Executive to perform or adhere to any of the obligations under Sections 6.1 and
6.2 hereof. Executive expressly acknowledges that remedies at law alone will be
inadequate to compensate the Company for any breach or violation of any of the
provisions of Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof, and that the Company, in addition to
all other remedies hereunder or thereunder, shall be entitled, as a matter of
right, to seek injunctive relief, including specific performance, with respect
to any such breach of violation, in any court of competent jurisdiction.
