SEVERANCE AGREEMENT


 


This Severance Agreement (“Agreement”) is made effective January 8, 2018(“Effective Date”), by and between Flexsteel Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) and Marcus Hamilton (“Executive”).


 


WHEREAS, Executive is a key employee of the Company and the Company and Executive desire to set forth herein the terms and conditions of severance compensation in the event of a termination of Executive’s employment under certain circumstances.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:


 


Definitions.


 


For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:


 


“Base Salary” means Executive’s base salary at the rate in effect on the date of Executive’s Qualifying Termination.  The Executive’s base salary rate shall be determined without regard to reductions or deferrals of compensation under qualified and nonqualified plans or welfare benefits plans.  The Executive’s base salary rate excludes fringe benefits, incentive compensation or other payments as additional or special compensation to the Executive.


 


“Cause” shall mean any of the following: (i) Executive’s commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement or theft against the Company or its subsidiaries; (ii) Executive’s conviction of, or plea of no contest to, a felony or crime involving moral turpitude; (iii) Executive’s willful non-performance of material duties as an employee of the Company, which to the extent such failure can be fully cured, remains uncured for 30 days following Executive’s receipt of written notice thereof; (iv) Executive’s material breach of any material agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including the Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement; (v) Executive’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or any other act of willful disregard for the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ best interests; or (iv) Executive’s unlawful use (including being under the influence) or possession of illegal drugs on the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ premises.


 


“Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement” shall mean the Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement between the Company and Executive.


 


”Disability” means that the Executive satisfies the requirements to receive long-term disability benefits under the Company-sponsored group long-term disability plan in which the Executive participates without regard to any waiting periods, or that the Executive has been determined by the Social Security Administration to be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits.


 


"Fundamental Change" means a dissolution or liquidation of the Company; a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company; a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, regardless of whether the Company is the surviving corporation; or a statuary share exchange involving capital stock of the Company.

Page 8
















 


“Qualifying Termination” means a termination by the Company of Executive’s employment with the Company, other than for Cause, death or Disability.  For the avoidance of doubt, a termination by the Company of Executive’s employment, other than for Cause, death or Disability, on or within 12 months after of a Fundamental Change will be considered a Qualifying Termination.


 


Severance


 


Severance Payment. Executive will receive a severance payment equal to twelve months Base Salary plus an amount equivalent the value of an annual cash incentive payment at target performance in the year of Executive’s termination of employment if and only if Executive’s termination of employment is a Qualifying Termination.


 


COBRA Payment. Executive shall also be entitled to a lump sum cash payment equal to the COBRA premiums necessary to continue Executive’s and his or her dependents’ health insurance coverage in effect on the date of the Executive’s Qualifying Termination for a period of 12 months, without regard to whether the Executive elects continuation coverage under COBRA, subject to applicable tax withholding.


 


Payments will be made as a fully taxable lump sum cash payment no later than 60 days after the date of Qualifying Termination.


 


The payment of any severance under this Agreement is conditioned upon a signed and irrevocable release of claims in favor of the Company, its subsidiaries, and other related parties from any and all claims within 52 days of the Executive’s Qualifying Termination, which will contain provisions, including but not limited to the following:


 



	
a.

	
A non-disparagement clause.







 



	
b.

	
Confidentiality clause.







 



	
c.

	
A twelve month non-compete clause.













	
d.

	
A twelve month non-hire and non-solicitation clause.









 Severance under this Agreement shall not be paid to you if your employment is terminated as a result of your death or your Disability, or if your employment terminates due to your voluntary decision to quit, including on or after your retirement.


 


Withholding. All compensation paid to Executive hereunder shall be reduced by all federal, state, local and other withholdings and similar taxes and payments required by applicable law. To the extent taxes owed by Executive with respect to amounts paid hereunder are not withheld for any reason, Executive shall continue to be responsible for such taxes, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries will have responsibility or liability to the Executive for any failure to comply with any applicable tax withholding requirements.

Pursuant to this clawback provision, the Company may (i) cancel, reduce, or require Executive to forfeit any outstanding payments or benefits under this Agreement, or (ii) require Executive to reimburse or disgorge to the Company any amounts received pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, or regulation in effect on or after the Effective Date.


 


Claims. Claims and disputes under this Agreement are subject to the claims and disputes procedures under the Flexsteel Industries, Inc.  Cash Incentive Compensation Plan, effective July 1, 2013, or its successor plan (the “Cash Plan”). In any mediation or arbitration of claims or disputes under this Agreement, the reviewing mediator or arbiter shall be limited to determining whether the Company’s decision or action was arbitrary or capricious or was unlawful.  The reviewing mediator or arbiter shall adhere to and apply the deferential standard of review set out in Conkright v. Frommert, 559 U.S. 506 (2010), Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. v. Glenn, 554 U.S. 105 (2008), and Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. v. Bruch, 489 U.S. 101 (1989), and shall accord due deference to the determinations, interpretations, and construction of this Agreement by the Company.


 


Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, this Agreement and all rights under it shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Iowa.


 


At-Will Employment. Executive’s employment with the Company is at-will and not for any specified period and may be terminated at any time, with or without Cause or with or without advance notice, by either Executive or the Company.  Any change to the at-will employment relationship must be by specific, written agreement signed by Executive and an authorized representative of the Company.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed to contradict, modify or alter this at-will relationship.


 


General Provisions


 


Successors and Assigns.  The rights of the Company under this Agreement may, without the consent of Executive, be assigned by the Company to any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly, acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company or to any of its subsidiaries.  The Company will provide that any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company assume this Agreement.  Executive shall not be entitled to assign any of Executive’s rights or obligations under this Agreement.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.


 


Severability.  In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to allow enforceability of the provision as so limited, it being intended that the parties shall receive the benefit contemplated herein to the fullest extent permitted by law.  If a deemed modification is not satisfactory in the judgment of such arbitrator or court, the unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

Interpretation; Construction.  The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement.  This Agreement has been drafted by legal counsel representing the Company, but Executive has participated in the negotiation of its terms.  Furthermore, Executive acknowledges that Executive has had an opportunity to review and revise the Agreement and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.  Either party’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision, or prevent that party thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision of this Agreement. The terms and conditions set forth herein constitute the entire understanding of the Company and Executive with respect to the matters addressed herein.


 


Code Section 409A.  Payments under this Agreement may constitute, or provide for, a deferral of compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”).  If the requirements of Section 409A are not complied with, then the Executive may be taxed earlier than would otherwise be the case and may be subject to an additional 20% penalty tax and, potentially, interest and penalties.  This Agreement has been designed to comply with, or be exempt from Section 409A and other interpretive guidance that may be issued pursuant to Section 409A.


 


To the extent Section 409A applies to this Agreement, any reference herein to a termination of employment will mean a “separation from service” as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h) and, if the Executive is deemed on the date of termination of employment to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the Executive, and (b) the date of the Executive’s death, to the extent required under Section 409A.  Upon the expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits, if any, due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. Further, for any payments that are deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, and that could occur in one of two years depending on the timing of an action by the Executive, such as the delivery of a release, will always occur in the later year.


 


Executive Acknowledgments. By executing this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that this Agreement confers significant legal rights, and may also involve the waiver of rights under other agreements and that the Company provided copies of the Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement and the Cash Plan to Executive.
