TO THE

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This AMENDMENT TO THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated as of December 24, 2008 is by and between
MicroFinancial Incorporated, a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”) and Stephen Constantino
(the “Executive”).

     WHERAS, the Company and the Executive entered into an employment agreement as of May 4, 2005
(the “Agreement”); and

     WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement to comply with and meet the requirements of
the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
the Company and Executive agree as follows:

	 	1.	 	The definition of “Disability” set forth in Section 5(a) of the Agreement is
hereby amended to read as follows:
	 
	 	 	 	“For purposes of this Agreement, ‘Disability’ shall mean the Executive is unable to
engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be
expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.”
	 
	 	2.	 	Section 5(c) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following
paragraph to the end thereof:

     “Any proposed termination of employment by Executive shall be presumed to be
other than for Good Reason unless (x) Executive first provides written notice to the
Company within ninety (90) days following the initial existence of the purported
Good Reason condition, (y) the Company has been provided a period of thirty (30)
days after receipt of Executive’s notice during which to cure, rescind or otherwise
remedy the actions, events or circumstances described in such notice and (z)
Executive’s termination of employment occurs within two years following the initial
existence of the purported Good Reason condition.”

	 	3.	 	Section 7(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

     “(b) Other Than for Cause, Death or Disability. If, at any time prior to the
Effective Date, the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than
for Cause (defined below), death or Disability, the Company shall (1) pay to the
Executive’s Annual Base Salary multiplied by 1.5 payable over 18 months at the same
time that the Company pays other peer executives of the Company generally,
commencing on the first payroll date which is on or immediately after the
30th day following the Executive’s termination of employment, and (2) pay
to the Executive any compensation or bonus previously deferred (together with any
accrued interest or earnings thereon) and any accrued vacation pay, in each case to
the extent not theretofore paid in a lump sum payment within 30 days following
employment (the sum of the amounts described in
clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 7(b) shall be hereinafter referred to as
the “Severance

 

 

Amount”); and (3) for a period equal to that period over which the
Executive’s Annual Base Salary shall be paid pursuant to Section 7(b)(1) hereof, the
Company shall continue health and dental benefits to the Executive and/or the
Executive’s family equal to those health and dental benefits in effect on the Date
of Termination; provided, however, that if Executive becomes re-employed with
another employer which provides medical or dental benefits of any kind (whether
equivalent to, or lesser than, those provided by the Company on the Date of
Termination), then Executive’s health or dental coverage with the Company shall,
respectively, cease upon the date Executive shall become eligible for either of such
benefits from Executive’s new employer. Executive covenants and agrees to promptly
notify the Company upon becoming so eligible. Solely for purposes of Section 409A
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), each installment
payment is considered a separate payment.”

	 	4.	 	Section 10(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following
sentence to the end thereof:

     “Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, the Gross-Up
Payment shall in all events be paid by the Company to the Executive not later than
the last day of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the
Executive remits the related taxes, in accordance with the requirements set forth in
Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(1)(v).”

	 	5.	 	The Agreement is further amended by adding a new Section 10A immediately after
Section 10 as follows:

     “10A. Compliance with Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, if Executive is determined by the Company to be a “specified
employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) at the time of his
separation from service with the Company and if any payment or benefit to which he
shall become entitled to under this Agreement would be considered deferred
compensation subject to interest and additional tax imposed pursuant to
Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, no such payment or benefit payable or provided
to Executive shall be paid or provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the six (6) month period following the date of Executive’s “separation
from service” (as such term is defined by Code Section 409A and the regulations
promulgated thereunder), or (ii) the date of Executive’s death, but only to the
extent such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a
prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2). The payments and benefits to
which Executive would otherwise be entitled during the first six (6) months
following his separation from service shall be accumulated and paid or provided, as
applicable, in a lump sum, on the first payroll date that is six (6) months and one
day following Executive’s separation from service and any remaining payments or
benefits will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them
herein. Further, if any insurance or benefits continued by the Company pursuant to
this Agreement are taxable to Executive, any payment by the Company for any such
insurance or benefits shall equal the cost of such insurance or benefit, shall be
paid on a monthly basis and shall comply with the requirement that non-qualified
deferred compensation be paid on a specified date or pursuant to a fixed schedule.”

	 	6.	 	Except as expressly provided herein, no other modifications or amendments to
the Agreement are being made and, with the exception of the amendment set forth herein,
the terms and conditions of the Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed.

 

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date first written
above.
