EXHIBIT 10.1

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

 

THIS SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 16, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by and between CINEDIGM CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Adam M. Mizel (“Mizel”).

WHEREAS, Mizel was most recently employed by the Company as its Chief Operating Officer;

WHEREAS, in connection with an organizational restructuring, the Company has decided to eliminate the position of Chief Operating Officer;

WHEREAS, the Company and Mizel desire to establish with this Agreement the terms associated with the termination of Mizel’s employment with the Company, including the payment of monies to Mizel and the waiver of certain rights by Mizel as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1.      Termination of Employment.  The Company and Mizel agree that Mizel’s employment with the Company will end as of the close of business on October 16, 2015 (the “Termination Date”).

2.      Severance Payment.

 

(A)           Periodic Payments.  For the twelve (12) month period following the Termination Date (the “Periodic Payment Period”), Mizel shall receive an aggregate sum of Four Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($425,000) in equal monthly installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, beginning with the next regularly scheduled period following the Effective Date of this Agreement (the “Periodic Payments”).

(B)           Consulting Services.  For a period of up to six (6) months following the Termination Date (the “Transition Period”), Mizel shall serve from time to time, but only as requested, as a consultant to the Company in accordance with the terms set forth below.  During the Transition Period, Mizel shall (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) make himself reasonably available to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”) and assist the CEO and the CEO’s executive designees in connection with the conclusion of Company’s settlement arbitration with Gaiam, Inc. and Gaiam Americas, Inc. (together, “Gaiam”) resolving disputes arising from the Company’s acquisition in October 2013 of a division of Gaiam, the transition of his responsibilities for Company’s content and entertainment businesses, including its over-the-top (OTT) operations and Mizel’s transition from the Company generally (collectively, the “Transition Consulting Services”), for which he shall be compensated at the rate of $500 per hour payable promptly in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices.  During the Transition Period, Mizel will cooperate with the CEO and provide input and information pertaining to the Transition Consulting Services at such times and places as the CEO 

 

  

  

  

 

may reasonably request, in accordance with and subject to the terms herein, it being understood and agreed, however, that the Transition Consulting Services shall not be such as will unreasonably interfere with Mizel’s full-time or part-time employment during the Transition Period, or his duties under clause 2(C) below and shall in no event exceed 10 hours per week.  All Transition Consulting Services shall be non-exclusive, and, to the extent reasonably possible, shall be accomplished and rendered by telephone and email communications without any in person services by Mizel.

(C)           Duty of Mitigation.  During the Periodic Payment Period, Mizel shall have a duty to seek other employment, but shall not be required to accept any position other than a position (i) as a senior executive officer with the same general responsibilities that Mizel possessed at the Company at the time of the Termination Date and (ii) with a company equal or larger in earnings and tangible net worth than the Company at the time of the Termination Date, provided that if Company elects to utilize Mizel’s Consulting Services for more than 15 hours per month, Mizel shall not have any duty to seek other employment during such month and, if Mizel has accepted another position, Mizel will not be obligated to render more than 15 hours per month of Consulting Services unless he otherwise agrees.  Mizel may accept any full-time position at any level and at any salary with any entity, profit or non-profit, and Mizel, by accepting such employment, shall be conclusively deemed to have fulfilled his duty to seek employment under this Section 2(C).  The Company shall be entitled to reduce the Periodic Payments during his employment by another entity by an amount equal to the amount earned by Mizel from any such employment during such period, provided, that, such salary reduction shall not apply to the extent Mizel takes a one-off consulting job.  In the event that a dispute shall arise as to this Section 2(C), the Company shall continue to pay the Periodic Payments into an escrow account not under the control of the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Consulting Payment shall not be subject to such reduction.

(D)           Independent Contractor Status; No Benefits.  During the Transition Period and at any time thereafter, as applicable, Mizel shall be deemed an independent contractor and not an employee of the Company.  Mizel shall not be entitled to or eligible for any bonuses or benefits or programs otherwise given by the Company to its employees, officers, or directors.  Mizel shall not have any authority to enter into contracts or agreements on behalf of the Company or to otherwise bind the Company.  Due to such independent contractor status, the Company will not make any withholdings from any amount payable under this Agreement, or payments for social security, make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain workers’ compensation insurance on behalf of Mizel.

3.      Final Wages and Vacation Pay.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on the Termination Date Mizel shall be entitled to receive and Company shall pay to Mizel all final wages and other amounts that he is legally entitled to receive, inclusive of any and all accrued and unused vacation pay.

4.      Acknowledgement.  Except and other than as set forth in this Agreement, Mizel acknowledges and represents that the Company has paid or provided all salary, wages, bonuses, incentive compensation, paid leave, premiums, interest, severance, fees, reimbursable expenses, stock, and any and all other benefits and compensation due on account of Mizel’s employment, including without limitation, under the Employment Agreement, dated October 1, 2013, by and 

 

  

2

  

 

between the Company and Mizel, amended November 14, 2014 (the “Employment Agreement”), and that no other forms of payments or equity compensation of any kind are due to be paid to Mizel, including, without limitation, under Section 6(b) of the Employment Agreement.

5.      Stock Option Grant. Under Section 4(d) of the Employment Agreement, Mizel received certain stock option grants with specified vesting dates.  The parties acknowledge and agree that all of the stock options granted in Section 4(d)(i) and (ii) to be vested during the month of October 2015 are or shall be deemed to be fully vested as of the Termination Date, and all of the stock options to be vested thereafter shall be cancelled.  After the Termination Date, Mizel shall continue to be entitled to the same rights of exercise of prior stock options as specified in said Section 4(d), which shall survive any such termination of the Employment Agreement.

6.      Stock Ownership.  In addition to the foregoing Section 5, Mizel owns stock shares in the Company as of the Termination Date.  The parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way waive, relinquish, or limit Mizel’s ownership rights with respect to Company shares of stock that Mizel owns (or may own as a result of the exercise of Stock Option Grant in Section 4(d) of the Employment Agreement), subject only to Section 8 below.

7.      Continuing Obligations.  In addition to Section 5 above, Mizel and Company acknowledge that certain other provisions of the Employment Agreement, including Section 9, Confidential Information; Non-Competition; Enforceability, and Section 19, Indemnification, survive the termination of the Employment Agreement, and Company and Mizel reaffirm and agree to be bound by all such provisions.  For the avoidance of doubt, Mizel and Company agree that any violation by either of them of any obligation under any surviving provision of the Employment Agreement, shall entitle the other non-breaching party to seek and pursue any and all remedies available to him or it as a result of such breach.  No failure of the Company to enforce any term of Section 9 and no failure of Mizel to enforce Section 19 of the Employment Agreement will be deemed a waiver of that term or a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same.  Except for the continuing obligations under the Employment Agreement specified in this Section 7 (and Section 5 above), the obligations of the parties under the Employment Agreement shall be terminated in all respects.

8.      Insider Trading Policy.  After the Termination Date, Mizel will abide by all applicable federal and state securities laws with respect to any sales or purchases of Company securities, and will not buy or sell any such securities while in possession of material inside information.

9.      Release and Waiver of Claims in Favor of the Company.  In exchange for the Periodic Payments and the Consulting Payment, and such other good and valuable consideration described herein, and subject to the terms hereof and excluding all obligations and rights contained in this Agreement, Mizel (for Mizel, his agents, heirs, successors, and assigns) does hereby voluntarily, knowingly, and irrevocably waive, release, and forever discharge the Company, and any and all affiliated entities, predecessors, and successors, as well as any current or former officers, directors, and employees of the same (collective, the “Cinedigm Releasees”), from any and all complaints, claims, charges, demands, suits or actions, whether known or unknown, in law or in equity, which Mizel ever had, now has or hereafter may have, which are based on acts or omissions occurring up to and including the date this Agreement is executed by Mizel (collectively, the “Mizel

In accordance with the forgoing terms and limitations of and upon the release of claims by Mizel and subject to all other terms hereof and the obligations contained herein, Mizel hereby releases, without limitation, all of the following arising from or relative to Mizel’s employment, the terms and conditions thereof, and the termination of his employment:

CINEDIGM RESTRUCTURES CORPORATE ORGANIZATION:  COO ADAM MIZEL

TRANSITIONS TO CONSULTING ROLE

 

 

 

LOS ANGELES (October 16, 2015) – In a continuing process of streamlining corporate structure to better fit its evolving business profile and reduce costs, Cinedigm Corp. (NASDAQ: CIDM)  announced today that it is restructuring corporate responsibilities and will eliminate the current chief operating officer position.  Effective October 16, 2015, COO Adam Mizel will transition to a consulting role with the Company, including a focus on business development opportunities. The move comes as part of a long-term and rigorous management reorganization that began more than a year ago.  The COO position will not be replaced, with responsibilities shared by Chief Executive Officer Chris McGurk, Chief Financial Officer Jeffrey Edell, Cinedigm Entertainment President Bill Sondheim, and President of Digital Cinema/General Counsel Gary Loffredo moving forward.

 

“Cinedigm has gone through an enormous re-invention over the last three years as we have transformed the Company from a service provider that converted movie theaters into digital entertainment centers to our current position as a leading independent content distributor and OTT pioneer,” said McGurk.  “We have been looking at every aspect of our company to improve efficiency and to develop an organization that best fits our new business profile.   As a shareholder, Board member and part of our management team, Adam agreed that this consolidation in the corporate structure was a strategically smart move for Cinedigm.  We thank him for many years of service to the management team and look forward to his new role as a consultant.”

 

“I am proud to have worked with Chris and the Cinedigm team to have repositioned the company as an industry innovator and to have successfully launched three OTT channels,” commented Mizel. “I look forward to continuing to support Cinedigm’s success as a consultant as I explore a variety of other projects in the entertainment, technology and finance spaces.”
