Re: Employment Agreement Extension

 

Dear Craig:

 

We refer to the Employment Agreement, dated as January 3, 2012, between Command
Security Corporation (the “Company”) and you (the “Employment Agreement”). This
letter agreement amends the Employment Agreement as follows:

 

1.Extension of Term. The first sentence of Section 2 of the Employment Agreement
is hereby amended and restated to read as follows in its entirety:

 

“The term of employment of the Executive by the Company hereunder (the “Term”)
will commence as of the Effective Date and will end on the sixth anniversary of
the Effective Date, unless further extended or sooner terminated as hereinafter
provided.”

 

2.Annual Bonus. Section 5(a)(ii) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended
and restated to read as follows in its entirety:

 

“The Executive will be eligible to be paid an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”)
in respect of each fiscal year of the Company during which the Executive has
been employed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, except as otherwise
provided in this Section 5(a)(ii). The maximum Annual Bonus for each year
commencing with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 shall be an amount equal
to 100% of the Executive’s Base Salary in respect of such fiscal year, and shall
be paid to the Executive only if the Company has achieved the targets (the
“Bonus Targets”) to be set forth in an executive bonus plan meeting the
requirements set forth in Section 5(a)(iv) below (the “Bonus Plan”). If the
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated at any time after
completing three fiscal quarters of service but prior to the end of the full
fiscal year to which the Annual Bonus corresponds for any reason other than (x)
for Cause or (y) upon his voluntary resignation (other than for Good Reason),
and the Bonus Targets for the fiscal year in which his employment is so
terminated have been achieved, the amount of the Annual Bonus to which Executive
shall be entitled shall be reduced, pro rata, based on the number of months and
days that the Executive was employed by the Company as Chief Executive Officer
during such fiscal year compared to the entire fiscal year in which the related
Bonus Targets have been met. Regardless of whether the Bonus Targets are met,
the Executive shall not be entitled to any portion of the Annual Bonus with
respect to any fiscal year during which (A) he was terminated for Cause, (B) he
voluntarily resigned (other than for Good Reason) or (C) he served as Chief
Executive Officer for less than three full fiscal quarters. The Annual Bonus (or
any portion thereof, determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions)
shall be paid on a date that is 60 days following the end of the applicable
fiscal year during the Term (or on the next business day following such 60-day
period) (the “Bonus Payment Date”).”

 

 

 

 

Exhibit 10.1

 

3.Development of Bonus Plan. A new Section 5(a)(iv) is hereby added to the
Employment Agreement and shall read as follows in its entirety:

 

“The Bonus Plan for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 and each fiscal year
thereafter will be based on the achievement of Bonus Targets established in a
budget approved by the Board prior to the commencement of the applicable fiscal
year or within two months thereafter. The Bonus Plan for each such fiscal year:
(i) shall contain specific Bonus Targets for minimum (threshold), target and
maximum payouts, each of which shall be determined by the Board; (ii) shall be
designed to align the interests of the Executive with the interests of
shareholders; and (iii) shall be adopted by the Board no later than May 31 of
the applicable fiscal year.”

 

4.Termination.

 

(i)Section 6(e)(B)(iii) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and
restated to read as follows in its entirety:

 

“If such termination occurs during Year 4 or thereafter, and a Change in Control
has not occurred within the one year period preceding such termination, the
Company shall, consistent with past payroll practices, continue to pay the
Executive his Base Salary for a period of one year following such termination;
and”

 

(ii)A new Section 6(e)(B)(iv) is hereby added to the Employment Agreement and
shall read as follows in its entirety:

 

“If such termination occurs within one year following a Change in Control, the
Company shall (1) consistent with past payroll practices, continue to pay the
Executive his Base Salary for a period of one and one-half years following such
termination and (2) pay the Executive 150% of the Bonus Amount (as defined in
Section 6(e)(B)(v) below); provided, however, that the amounts payable pursuant
to this Section 6(e)(B)(iv) shall not exceed 2.7% of the Market Capitalization
(as defined in Section 6(e)(B)(vi) below) of the Company as of the date of the
Change in Control; ”

 

(iii)A new Section 6(e)(B)(v) is hereby added to the Employment Agreement and
shall read as follows in its entirety:

 

“The “Bonus Amount” shall be the bonus that would be payable to the Executive in
the year of termination of employment if his employment were not terminated and
the Company achieved the level of performance at year end that the Company that
would be expected based on its percentage of achievement on the date of
termination. (By way of illustration, if employment is terminated at the end of
the fourth month of the fiscal year, and the Company has achieved one-third of
its performance targets through the date of termination, the Bonus Amount would
be 100% of Base Salary); and”

 

(iv)A new Section 6(e)(B)(vi) is hereby added to the Employment Agreement and
shall read as follows in its entirety:

 

“The “Market Capitalization” of the Company as of the date of the Change in
Control shall be dollar amount obtained by multiplying the closing price per
share of the shares of common stock of the Company on the NYSE Market as of such
date (or, if the common stock is not traded on the NYSE Market on such date, the
principal exchange or other market on which the common stock is then traded) by
the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock (not including
shares issuable upon the exercise of options or other rights to acquire common
stock, whether or not vested).”

 

 

 

 

Exhibit 10.1

Sections 7 and 8 below, the 2015 Option will vest in equal monthly increments on
the third day of each month, beginning on February 3, 2015 and ending on January
3, 2016 (the “Vesting Date”).

 

7.Option Terminates Upon Termination of Employment for any Reason if No Change

terminated or you resign as an employee of the Company for any reason or for no
reason, including, without limitation, upon your death or Disability (as defined

(ii)If the termination of employment occurs before the Vesting Date, the 2015
Option shall cease to vest and the unvested portion of the 2015 Option shall
terminate, be null and void and may no longer be exercised. Any vested portion
of the 2015 Option may be exercised for a period of 12 months following such
termination or resignation and thereafter shall cease to be exercisable.

 

8.Vesting upon Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason
Following a Change in Control. If, within 12 months following a Change in
Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement), (A) your employment is
terminated without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or (b) you
resign for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the 2015
