     This Coal Mining Lease and Sublease (this “Lease”) is made and entered into as of
February 9, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), by and between: (i) Ceralvo Holdings, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (the “Lessor”), and (ii) Armstrong Coal Company, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the “Lessee”).

WITNESSETH:

     Whereas, Lessor owns the fee interests as indicated on Schedule A, attached hereto,
in the real property indicated on Schedule A (the “Owned Property”) and/or the leasehold interests
as indicated on Schedule B, attached hereto, in the real property indicated on Schedule B (the
“Leased Property”), demised pursuant to the agreements identified in Schedule B (as such agreements
may be supplemented, amended, restated, replaced, or modified from time to time, each such
agreement an “Underlying Lease”), together with any greater estate therein as may now exist or
hereafter may be acquired by Lessor (the Owned Property and the Leased Property are, collectively,
the “Premises”); and

     Whereas, Lessor desires to lease the Premises to Lessee, and Lessee desires to lease
the same from Lessor, upon such terms and conditions as are set forth herein.

     Now Therefore, in consideration of One Dollar and the mutual covenants hereinafter
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     Subject to the terms hereof, Lessor does hereby lease unto Lessee the Premises and grant unto
Lessee an exclusive license to enter upon the Surface Lands (as hereafter defined) for the purpose
of mining all veins of coal on the Premises. It is agreed that Lessor hereby grants to Lessee,
with respect to the Premises, to the extent the Lessor has the right to do so, all mining rights,
privileges and immunities, of every nature and kind (including deep mining, strip mining, highwall
mining and auger mining rights), coal-bed methane rights and the rights to extract all other
minerals not covered by pre-existing rights currently held by Lessor or third parties, which are
necessary, convenient or customary in connection with or in relation to the conduct of mining
operations or the development, equipment or improvement of mines, or for the mining, extraction,
removal or recovery of coal, including the right to disturb, cast, and pile all strata without
regard to mineral content and for preparing and marketing coal; such rights, including, without
limitation, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations and to the extent the
Lessor has the right to grant the same, the right to install and maintain railroad, truck and river
dock loading facilities, storage areas, railroad tracks and switches, pumping stations, pole lines
and wires; to create gob piles (provided gob piles are maintained, stabilized, and removed or
covered as governed by all existing and future laws); to dig ditches for the drainage of water; to
lay pipe lines; to erect towers; to provide for the storage of materials and supplies; to construct
and use roadways; to erect and use

 

 

buildings, plants and structures of every kind; and, in general, and without limitation, to do any
and all things incident to Lessee’s mining, processing, and marketing of coal produced from the
Premises; and Lessee is empowered and authorized to exercise all of the aforesaid rights,
privileges and immunities.

     Subject, however, to the following rights existing as of the Effective Date: oil and gas
lease rights, public roads, public drainage ditches, easements for power lines, pipelines,
railroads and rights-of-way, telephone lines, buried cables and all other easements and
reservations.

     To Have and To Hold the same unto the Lessee, its successors and assigns, for and
during the term herein set forth and upon the following terms and conditions:

ARTICLE 1

Term of Lease

     Section 1.1-Term. The term of this Lease (“Term”) shall commence on the Effective
Date, and terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided,
that the Term shall automatically be extended for ten (10) one-year extension periods, and
thereafter until such time as all of the minable and merchantable coal has been mined, unless
Lessee delivers notice of non-renewal to Lessor prior to the end of the then-existing Term. Lessee
shall be entitled to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days’ written notice to Lessor, in which
case Lessee’s obligations, including any royalty payments, shall be limited to those incurred as of
the date of such termination.

ARTICLE 2

Mining Operations and Surface Lands

     Section 2.1-Mining Operations. Lessee will conduct mining operations on the Premises
and the Surface Lands in a reasonable and professional manner in accordance with standard practices
employed in western Kentucky coalfields. Lessee shall conduct its mining operations in accordance
with, and shall comply with, all state and local laws and the lawful rules, regulations and orders
of any governmental authority in respect of such mining operations. Lessor grants to Lessee the
right, at the cost and expense of Lessee, to do and perform, with respect to the Premises, whatever
may be required to be performed by Lessee, or may be deemed by Lessee to be required or to be
advisable, in order to comply with federal, state or local law or the lawful rules, regulations or
orders or any governmental authority. Lessor further agrees to execute and deliver upon the request
of Lessee any additional forms or documentation required by any governmental agency or bureau with
regard to the prosecution of the mining operation.

     Section 2.2-Use of Surface Lands. Lessor shall retain in its possession the
instruments of every nature and kind evidencing Lessor’s interest in and to the Premises and the
Surface Lands and every part thereof; provided, however, that upon request by Lessee, Lessor shall
make such records available to Lessee for use thereof by Lessee. Except as otherwise provided
herein, Lessor shall retain possession of the surface rights related to the Premises (the “Surface
Lands”), until the same shall be required by Lessee in connection with its mining operations
hereunder, it being recognized by Lessee that the

2

 

Surface Lands are now or may hereafter be used by Lessor for farming or other purposes. When
and as often as Lessee shall first require any of the Surface Lands in connection with its mining
operation, Lessee shall, not more than one hundred twenty (120) or less than ninety (90) days prior
to January 1 of the year when such Surface Lands will be required by Lessee, give written notice to
Lessor specifying such lands. At such time within said year as shall be mutually determined, but
not before the expiration of one hundred twenty (120) days after the receipt by Lessor of such
notice, Lessor shall deliver exclusive possession of said Surface Lands to Lessee. Notwithstanding
the above, if circumstances warrant, Lessee shall have the right, upon giving Lessor forty (40)
days’ written notice, to take possession of such Surface Lands in connection with its mining
operations by paying Lessor or crop tenant for crop damage or soil preparation costs, as the case
may be. Lessee may, upon taking possession thereof, remove and disturb such Surface Lands or any
part thereof, except that Lessee shall, in its operations, prevent and avoid damage to existing oil
wells and/or pipelines. Forthwith upon termination of the need by Lessee for any particular part of
the said Surface Lands in connection with its mining operations hereunder, as determined by
Lessee’s mining plans, Lessee shall surrender possession thereof to Lessor, subject to the
provisions of Article 8, Lessee shall, prior to such surrender of possession, comply with all
applicable statutes and regulations then in effect with respect to restoration of such Surface
Lands. At Lessor’s request, and upon Lessee’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, Lessee may surrender additional Surface Lands to Lessor that are not in Lessee’s mining
plan or have been reclaimed by Lessee and reclamation bonds released. Thereafter, Lessee shall
have no further obligations or rights with respect to such lands surrendered and the same shall be
deemed to be no longer a part of the Surface Lands; provided, however, that nothing contained in
this sentence shall derogate from or be construed to deny to Lessee, with respect to lands so
surrendered, the rights granted herein. Lessor shall have the right to convey title to any part of
lands so surrendered, subject, however, to the consent of Lessee, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, in which case Lessee shall have no further rights to such lands and such
lands shall no longer be part of this Lease. It is understood that Lessor shall make no use of any
lands so surrendered which may adversely affect Lessee’s and/or any assignees’ or sublessees’
rights hereunder in meeting their obligations with regard to reclamation of such lands under
applicable law.

     Section 2.3-Underlying Leases. Lessee hereby agrees to comply with the applicable
terms and conditions of any Underlying Lease, which terms are hereby incorporated herein by
reference.

ARTICLE 3

Royalties

     Section 3.1-Production Royalty Payments.

          (a) Payment for Coal Mined. For all coal mined and sold by Lessee from the Premises,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor a Production Royalty Payment in an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of
the Sales Price (as hereinafter defined) received by Lessee. In addition to the foregoing, Lessee
shall pay any royalties due for coal leased (not owned in fee) by Lessor. The aforementioned
payments shall be defined herein as

3

 

the “Production Royalty Payments” for all purposes of this Lease. The parties agree that
Lessor has received credit for an advance royalty equal to $12,000,000 (“Advance Payment”), and the
amount of the Advance Payment shall be applied against and be recoupable against all future
Production Royalty Payments otherwise coming due.

          (b) Definition of Sales Price. The term Sales Price as used herein shall mean the per
ton consideration actually charged Lessee for each 2,000 pounds of coal sold F.O.B. the mine after
final preparation and loading without any deduction of preparation and loading costs,
transportation costs, sales commissions or selling expenses, discounts, rebates, preparation
charges or any other costs or charges whatsoever. In the case of any coal not sold at arm’s
length, sold to an affiliate of Lessee, consumed by Lessee or sold for a consideration other than
money, the per ton consideration for computing the Sales Price shall be the average sale price for
coal of comparable quality under similar contracts, F.O.B. the mine at the time of shipment or
consumption without any deduction of preparation and loading costs, transportation costs, sales
commissions or selling expenses, discounts, rebates, preparation charges or any other costs or
charges whatsoever.

          (c) Lessee to Keep Records. Lessee shall keep records of truck scale weights, or
river barge dead weight surveys, or railroad car weights, whichever is applicable, together with
accurate surveys and progress maps used in conjunction with accepted and recognized engineering
methods which shall be taken as the basis for payment of Production Royalty Payments. Lessee shall
keep a true and correct record of all coal mined, removed and sold from the Premises and shall
permit Lessor or its agents, at all reasonable times, to inspect the records, and perform other
practical and reasonable investigations to check the accuracy of the records of Lessee. Lessor,
through its agents, may enter upon the Premises at any time for the purpose of verifying the
quantity of coal removed therefrom.

          (d) Time, Place and Allocation of Payment of Production Royalty Payments. All
Production Royalty Payments shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on or before the 25th day
of each calendar month on all coal mined and produced by Lessee from the Premises which was sold
during the preceding calendar month and for which Lessee has received payment. All Production
Royalty Payments shall be paid by check or by wire transfer if Lessor so instructs. Each payment
of Production Royalty Payments hereunder shall be accompanied by a statement from Lessee showing
the number of tons of coal mined and sold during the preceding calendar month (showing separately
coal produced by the strip, surface, auger or open-pit method of mining and coal produced by any
other method of mining), the weighted average of the Sales Price and the computation of royalties
payable on such coal so mined and sold during such calendar month. All payments due hereunder
shall be mailed to Lessor at the address listed in this Lease, or as otherwise directed by Lessor.

ARTICLE 4

Default

     Section 4.1-Events of Default.

4

 

          (a) Defaults Under this Lease. Should Lessee fail to pay any installment of any
royalty payment herein provided for when due, or should Lessee fail to observe or perform any other
covenant on its part to be observed or performed under the terms of this Lease, Lessor shall have
the right to give Lessee written notice specifying the particular default or defaults of which
complaint is made and of its intention to declare a forfeiture of this Lease by reason of such
default or defaults unless the same are rectified. If the default is the failure to pay to Lessor
an installment of a royalty payment at the time provided for herein, Lessee shall have five (5)
days from the date of receipt of such notice to correct such default. If the default is the failure
of Lessee to observe or perform some other covenant of this Lease other than to pay royalty
payments to Lessor, Lessee shall have thirty (30) days (if such default cannot be cured within
thirty (30) days, Lessee shall have such additional reasonable time to cure such default, provided
Lessee diligently takes action to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period) from the
date of receipt of such notice to cure such default. In case of a dispute as to whether or not any
such default exists, the time Lessee may cure such default, as aforesaid, shall not commence to run
until after the dispute is resolved by arbitration.

          (b) Remedies Upon Default. If Lessee fails to remedy any such default or defaults
within the time or times herein specified, then at the option of Lessor, all of Lessee’s rights
under this Lease shall terminate, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(e), and Lessor shall
have the right to re-enter and take possession of the Premises and the Surface Lands without
obligation to assume any debt of Lessee; provided, however, that the termination of this Lease in
any manner or for any cause whatever shall not relieve Lessee of its obligation for any royalty
payment which may have accrued hereunder at the date of such termination; provided, further, that
the remedy of termination in the event of default by Lessee as above authorized shall not be deemed
or interpreted as the exclusive remedy available to Lessor, and Lessor may require and enforce
performance by Lessee of each and every term and provision of this Lease incumbent upon the Lessee
to be kept and performed, utilizing any available remedy therefor.

          (c) Arbitration. Any disagreement between Lessor and Lessee arising hereunder shall be
submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect. A panel of three arbitrators, knowledgeable with the coal industry in
the western Kentucky area, shall be named, one to be selected by Lessee, one to be selected by
Lessor, and one to be selected by the other two arbitrators. If the two arbitrators appointed by
Lessor and Lessee cannot agree on the selection of the third neutral arbitrator selection of such
arbitrator shall be made by the American Arbitration Association. The non-prevailing party shall be
responsible for the reasonable expenses, fees and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney’s fees) incurred by both Lessor and Lessee in such arbitration. If royalty payments are
disputed, then those payments shall be placed by Lessee in an interest-bearing escrow account to be
distributed in accordance with the decision of the arbitrators. With regard to any monetary sum or
quantum measurement such as coal tonnages or reserves, the figures determined by each of the
arbitrators shall be averaged and the determination which differs most from said average shall be
excluded; the remaining two determinations shall then be averaged and such average shall be final
and conclusive.

5

 

          (d) Rights of Lessee Upon Termination of Lease. Upon the termination of this Lease for
any cause or in any manner, and upon completion of all reclamation as required by governing
authorities and upon payment by Lessee to Lessor of all royalties due hereunder, Lessee shall have
the right and obligation within a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such termination to
remove all buildings, structures, machinery, equipment, tools, tracks, power lines and other
property owned by Lessee from any portion of the Surface Lands then owned by Lessor; provided,
however, that if the propriety of such termination shall be a matter of disagreement or dispute
between Lessor and Lessee, then such twelve (12) months’ period shall not commence to run until,
after the dispute is resolved. Provided, further, that if Lessee, notwithstanding the exercise of
reasonable diligence, is prevented by causes beyond the control, and without the fault or
negligence, of Lessee from removing said property of Lessee within such twelve (12) months’ period,
Lessee shall have, in addition to said twelve (12) months, a period of time equal to the period of
time during which Lessee was so prevented from removing such property.

ARTICLE 5

Representations and Warranties

     Section 5.1-Due Authority of Lessor and Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor covenants and warrants
that it has full power and authority to grant, lease, and let the Premises and the license to the
Surface Lands as hereinabove and hereinafter set forth. Lessor, for itself and its successors and
assigns, covenants that Lessee shall, against all and every person or persons lawfully claiming the
whole or any part of the Premises or the Surface Lands by, through, or under Lessor, have and
quietly possess and enjoy the Premises and the Surface Lands throughout the term of this Lease, so
long as Lessee shall not be in default in the performance of any covenant of this Lease incumbent
upon it to be kept and performed. In the event of any such asserted claim which may affect or
impair the quiet possession of any part of the Premises or the Surface Lands by Lessee, notice in
writing thereof shall be promptly delivered to Lessor, and Lessor shall be privileged to contest
any such claim at its expense; and in such event Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor to remedy the
situation, with respect to the part of the Premises or the Surface Lands as to which such claim has
been asserted until such claim is settled, which Lessor agrees shall be done promptly if same can
be done on a reasonable basis. Lessor shall not enter into any agreement(s) with third parties
that may interfere with the mining operation or create any obligation or responsibility on Lessee’s
part unless agreed to in writing by Lessee.

     Section 5.2-Eminent Domain or Condemnation Proceedings. Lessor covenants that there
are no eminent domain, zoning or condemnation proceedings pending or threatened against or related
to the Surface Lands or any portion thereof.

     Section 5.3-Litigation. Lessor represents and warrants that there is no claim, legal
action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, dispute, governmental investigation or administrative
proceeding, nor any order, decree, or judgment, pending or in effect, or, to Lessor’s knowledge,
threatened, against or affecting (i) the Premises and/or the Surface Lands, (ii) the ability of
Lessor to execute this Lease, or (iii) the accuracy and completeness of any representation and
warranty of Lessor made herein.

6

 

     Section 5.4-Third Party Claims. Lessor represents and warrants that neither Lessor
nor the Premises and/or the Surface Lands are bound by any contract, agreement, lease, license or
subject to any encumbrance of any kind or nature, to which Lessor or its predecessors were a party
thereto, and that would in any manner restrict, limit or affect Lessee’s ability to mine and
operate the Premises and/or the Surface Lands as Lessee would choose, free of any obligation to or
claim of any person or organization associated with, arising out of or in connection with any such
contract, agreement, lease, license or encumbrance of Lessor or of any affiliate thereof, or of any
predecessor in title in interest to the Premises and/or the Surface Lands, including any agreement
applicable to any of its employees.

ARTICLE 6

Indemnification

     Section 6.1-Indemnification of Lessor. Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, pay
all wages, workmen’s compensation claims, claims for material, equipment and supplies contracted
for by the Lessee in connection with the conduct of its operations hereunder, and shall indemnify
and hold, Lessor and its assigns harmless of, from and against, any and all claims damages,
demands, expenses, fines, liabilities and taxes (of any character or nature whatsoever, regardless
of by whom imposed), and losses of every conceivable kind, character and nature whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, claims for losses or damages to any property or injury to or death
of any person) asserted by or on behalf of any person arising out of, resulting from or in any way
connected with Lessee’s presence on or mining of the coal on the Premises or the Surface Lands.
Lessee also covenants and agrees, at its expense, to pay, and to indemnify and save Lessor and its
assigns harmless of, from and against, all costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and
liabilities incurred in any action or proceeding brought by reason of any such claim or demand.

ARTICLE 7

Taxes

     Section 7.1-Payment of Taxes. Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid the real estate
taxes levied on the Premises and the Surface Lands and shall pay all severance taxes or other taxes
based upon production of coal mined from the Premises.

ARTICLE 8

Reclamation of Surface Lands

     Section 8.1-Reclamation of Surface Lands by Lessee. Once mining commences on the
Surface Lands, Lessee will reclaim the Surface Lands in accordance with all existing applicable
federal, state and local laws. In this connection, it will, among other things, fill in or cover
all cuts, pits and adits or establish water impoundments, restore the mined out areas to an
acceptable contour, replant such areas and dispose of all toxic and acid-bearing substances in
accordance with all applicable laws and regulations in order to ensure that the Surface Lands will
not constitute an unreasonable hazard. Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
inspect all land restoration and revegitation of the Surface Lands and the disposal of toxic
substances on the Surface Lands to see that Lessee has complied with all existing applicable federal, state and local laws before Lessee
requests releases from any federal, state or county bonding requirements in connection with the
above. Lessee shall have no obligation to dispose of foreign or toxic substances of Lessor or
others without the written agreement of Lessee. Lessee shall have the right to make re-entry onto
the Surface Lands with machinery and equipment from time to time after the formal termination of
the term hereof for the purpose of compliance with any federal, state or local government
requirements.

failure to exercise by Lessor or Lessee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies
provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or

EXECUTION COPY

 

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

 

AGREEMENT made effective as of the 26th day of June, 2012 (the "Effective Date"), between Ralph Lauren Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Ralph Lauren (the "Executive").

 

RECITALS

 

The Executive is the founder of the predecessor entities of the Company and has acted as Chief Executive Officer of such entities and the Company for approximately forty-five years.

 

The Executive is currently employed by the Company pursuant to an employment agreement made effective as of March 30, 2008, as amended on June 29, 2009, and on November 9, 2010 (such agreement, as amended, the "Prior Agreement").

 

The Company recognizes that the Executive's talents and abilities are unique and have been integral to the success of the Company. The Company wishes to retain the services of the Executive and recognizes that the Executive's contribution to the growth and success of the Company will be substantial. The Company desires to provide for the continued employment of the Executive and to make employment arrangements that will reinforce and encourage the attention and dedication to the Company of the Executive as a member of the Company's senior management, in the best interest of the Company. The Executive is willing to commit himself to serve the Company, on the terms and conditions herein provided.

 

The Company and the Executive wish to amend and restate the Prior Agreement as evidenced by this Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date.

 

In order to effect the foregoing, the Company and the Executive wish to enter into an Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth below. Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and the respective covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1.       Employment. Effective as of the Effective Date, the Executive's employment with the Company shall be governed by this Agreement.

 

 

Section 2.       Term. The term of the Executive's employment hereunder shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect through the last day of the Company's fiscal year (a "Fiscal Year") which ends in calendar year 2017, i.e., April 1, 2017, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the "Term").

 

  

  

  

 

Section 3.       Position and Duties.

 

(a)     Title and Duties. The Executive shall serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") and shall have such duties, authority and responsibilities as are normally associated with and appropriate for such positions. The Executive shall report directly to the Board. The Executive shall devote substantially all of his working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company.

 

(b)     Office and Facilities. The Executive shall be provided with appropriate office and secretarial facilities in each of the Company's principal executive offices in New York City and any other location that the Executive reasonably deems necessary to have an office and support services in order for the Executive to perform his duties for the Company.

 

Section 4.        Compensation.

 

(a)     Base Salary. During the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive an annual base salary of $1,750,000.  The Executive's base salary shall be paid in substantially equal installments on a basis consistent with the Company's payroll practices and shall be subject to such increases, if any, as may be determined in the sole discretion of the Board. The Executive's base salary, as in effect at any time, is hereinafter referred to as the "Base Salary."

 

(b)     Annual Bonus. For each Fiscal Year that occurs during the Term, the Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual cash bonus (the "Bonus") under the Company's Executive Officer Annual Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the "Bonus Plan"), based upon the achievement by the Company and its subsidiaries of performance goals for each such Fiscal Year established by the Compensation & Organizational Development Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee"). The Compensation Committee shall establish objective criteria to be used to determine the extent to which such performance goals have been satisfied. The range of the Bonus opportunity for each Fiscal Year will be as determined by the Compensation Committee based upon the extent to which such performance goals are achieved, provided that the annual target Bonus opportunity shall be $9 million for each such Fiscal Year (the "Target Bonus"), and provided further that for each Fiscal Year, the maximum Bonus payable pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall equal 150% of the Target Bonus for such Fiscal Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case may the Bonus for any Fiscal Year exceed the maximum annual bonus payable to any single individual pursuant to the Bonus Plan, it being agreed that said maximum amount shall in no event be less than $13.5 million per Fiscal Year.  The performance goals, metrics and targets (and percentage payouts at Threshold, Target and Maximum) (collectively, "Performance Conditions") applicable to Executive's Bonus for each Fiscal Year shall be consistent with the Performance Conditions that are applicable to annual bonuses for the Company's other SEC Named Executive Officers; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the strategic financial goal (from which Executive has 

 

  

2

  

 

heretofore been excluded) and shall not be construed as precluding the Compensation Committee from applying Performance Conditions to Executive and other SEC Named Executive Officers in a manner generally consistent with past practice.  The Bonus, if any, payable to the Executive in respect of any Fiscal Year will be paid at the same time that bonuses are paid to other executives of the Company, but in any event within two and one-half months after the conclusion of such Fiscal Year.

 

(c)      Equity Awards.

 

(1)           In General. On an annual basis during the Term, and at the same time as stock options or other equity awards are granted to other SEC Named Executive Officers of the Company, but subject to Section 4(c)(4) below, the Executive will be granted long-term equity awards ("Equity Awards") pursuant to the terms of the Company's 2010 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan or any successor thereto (the "Incentive Plan") with an aggregate target grant date fair value of $14 million.  One-third of the aggregate target grant date fair value of such equity awards ($4.667 million) shall be granted in the form of a stock option ("Stock Option") to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company (the "Common Shares") and the remaining two-thirds of such aggregate value ($9.333 million) shall be granted in the form of restricted performance share units ("RPSUs"), in each case subject to the applicable terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 4(c).  The number of RPSUs to be granted each year shall be determined by dividing $9.333 million by the average of the high and low price per Common Share on the date which is exactly 10 days prior to the date of grant (or, if such date is not a trading day, on the next preceding trading day) and rounding the result to the nearest whole number.  In the event that there occurs any stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Common Shares or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects the Common Shares such that an adjustment is appropriate and necessary in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available hereunder, the number of Common Shares subject to Stock Options and RPSUs will be subject to equitable adjustment, on a basis no less favorable to Executive than as set forth in the Incentive Plan as in effect on the date hereof.  In no event shall any Stock Option or RPSU contain single trigger change in control acceleration provisions, except in circumstances where the acquiror fails to assume the award in connection with any change in control transaction.

 

(2)           Stock Options:  Each Stock Option will have a term of seven (7) years (subject to earlier termination as described in Section 6 hereof) and will be nontransferable during the Executive's lifetime, except for transfers by the Executive to his Immediate Family (as defined in the Incentive Plan), or trusts for the benefit of Executive and his Immediate Family, subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee and pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan. Each Stock Option will vest and become exercisable ratably over three (3) years on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the Executive's continued employment through each vesting date and subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, and will have 

 

  

3

  

 

an exercise price per Common Share equal to the fair market value per Common Share as of the date of grant.  Each annual grant of a Stock Option shall be evidenced by a certificate and/or summary of terms (in accordance with the Company's past practice) which shall not be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(3)           RPSUs.  RPSUs granted hereunder shall vest, if at all, following a three-year performance period, and shall be subject to the Executive's employment with the Company on each RPSU Certification Date (as defined below), except as otherwise provided herein, and, subject to Section 4(c)(4)(B), the attainment of the applicable performance goals set forth below, which for the grant made in fiscal 2013 is consistent with the Performance Conditions applicable to comparable RPSUs granted to the Company's other SEC Named Executive Officers (except as may otherwise be required by the terms of an existing Employment Agreement with any such Named Executive Officer).

 

(A)  Cumulative Net Earnings.  One-half (1/2) of each annual grant of RPSUs hereunder shall vest and be paid out based on attainment by the Company of a level of cumulative net earnings established by the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, for the three-year performance period (the "Cumulative Net Earnings RPSUs").  With respect to each such annual grant of Cumulative Net Earnings RPSUs, Executive shall be entitled to vest in and receive payment with respect to a percentage of such RPSUs, as follows:

(B) Relative TSR Adjusted RPSUs.  One-half (1/2) of each annual grant of RPSUs hereunder shall vest on the same basis as Cumulative Net Earnings RPSUs described in (A) above, as adjusted, however, to reflect the Company's Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") during the three-year performance period relative to the TSR generated by the S&P 500 index during such period (the "Relative TSR RPSUs").  TSR shall be measured by share price appreciation, plus dividends reinvested, with starting and ending share prices being based on the average closing prices for the twenty (20) trading days ending immediately prior to the beginning and end of the performance period.  With respect to each annual grant of Relative TSR RPSUs, Executive shall be entitled to vest in and receive payment with respect to a percentage of such RPSUs, such percentage to be determined by multiplying (i) the number of Relative TSR RPSUs so granted, by (ii) the applicable percentage determined from Column 3 of the Table set forth in (A) above, and (iii) the applicable percentage calculated from Column 2 of the Table set forth below:

(C)  Other Terms and Conditions.  For purposes of determining the number of RPSUs becoming vested by reason of attainment of cumulative net earnings levels (including for purposes of (B) above, prior to adjustment to reflect relative TSR performance), RPSU vesting shall be interpolated for performance between identified performance levels, except that no RPSUs shall vest for performance below the threshold level.  There shall be no interpolation for performance between identified relative TSR performance levels.  Not later than 30 days prior to March 15th of the calendar year immediately following the end of the applicable three-year performance period, the Compensation Committee shall certify the level of performance achieved with respect to such three-year performance period (the date of such certification being referred to as the "RPSU Certification Date").  Any RPSUs that remain unvested following such certification shall be immediately forfeited without payment of any consideration.

 

Payment in respect of each vested RPSU, if any, shall be made in Common Shares as soon as practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) following the RPSU Certification Date.

 

In the event of an issuance of any cash or stock dividend on the Common Shares (a "Dividend), the Executive shall be entitled to be credited with an additional number of RPSUs (each, a "Dividend RPSU"), determined as follows:

 

(x)  in the event of a cash dividend, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the product of (i) the number of RPSUs that the Executive holds at the time of the record date for such Dividend multiplied by (ii) the amount of the Dividend per Common Share, divided by (b) the fair market value per Common Share on the payment date for such Dividend; and

(y) in the event of a stock dividend, equal to the number of Common Shares (including fractions thereof) issued with respect to each Common Share, multiplied by the number of RPSUs.

  

5

  

 

Once credited, each Dividend RPSU shall be treated as an RPSU hereunder and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the RPSU from which such Dividend RPSU is derived, whether it be a Cumulative Net Earnings RPSU or a Relative TSR RPSU, including, but not limited to, the applicable vesting schedule and rights to Dividend RPSUs with respect to future Dividends.

 

Each annual grant of RPSUs shall be evidenced by a certificate and/or summary of terms (in accordance with the Company's past practice) which shall not be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided that in no event shall any RPSUs contain single trigger change in control acceleration provisions, except in circumstances where the acquirer fails to assume the award in connection with any change in control transaction.

 

(4)           Other Conditions.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:  (A) the performance targets established for RPSU grants for each Fiscal Year shall be approved in writing by the Compensation Committee not later than the latest date required for such RPSUs to qualify as "qualified performance-based compensation" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code; and (B) except as may be required by the terms of an existing employment agreement, RPSUs granted to Executive in respect of any Fiscal Year shall have Performance Conditions which are no less favorable to Executive than those applicable to comparable long-term performance-based incentive equity awards granted to other SEC Named Executive Officers in respect of such Fiscal Year.

 

Section 5.         Employee Benefits.

 

(a)       Benefit Plans. The Executive shall continue to participate in all existing employee benefit plans, perquisite and fringe benefit arrangements of the Company or its affiliates in which he is currently participating and shall be entitled to participate in any future employee benefit plans, perquisite and fringe benefit arrangements of the Company or its affiliates that are provided to other senior executives of the Company on terms no less favorable than are provided to any other senior executive of the Company.

 

(b)       Life Insurance. The Executive shall be solely responsible for maintaining and making premium contributions to, and the Company shall not have any obligation to maintain and make premium contributions with respect to, those certain split dollar and other life insurance arrangements between the Company and the Executive, his family members and/or life insurance trusts for the benefit of any of them, that were previously maintained or contributed to by the Company or its affiliates or predecessor entities (the "Insurance Policies"); provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5(b) shall adversely affect the Company's right to receive prompt reimbursement in respect of any premium payments previously made by the Company under the Insurance Policies.

 

(c)       Expenses. The Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable and customary expenses incurred by the Executive in performing services hereunder, including all expenses of travel and living expenses while away 

 

  

6

  

 

from home on business or at the request of and in the service of the Company (collectively, "Business Expenses"), provided that such Business Expenses are incurred and accounted for in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Company.

 

(d)       Air Travel. For security purposes, the Executive and his family members, to and only to the extent such family members are traveling with the Executive, shall be required to use the Executive's or other acceptable private aircraft for any travel. For any expense (whether or not a Business Expense) incurred as a result of the Executive's use of his or other private aircraft, the Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company (with no tax gross-up). For any such expense incurred as a result of travel on any private aircraft (other than Executive's personal aircraft), the Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement at the lesser of market rates or Executive's out-of-pocket cost.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(d), in no event shall the Company reimburse Executive for any amounts over $200,000 for expenses incurred in a Fiscal Year resulting from Executive's use of his private aircraft, or other acceptable private aircraft, for personal travel.

 

(e)       Perquisites. The Company shall provide the Executive with a car and driver for his use during the term of his employment with the Company.

 

(f)       Vacations. The Executive shall be entitled to vacations and holidays on a basis consistent with that offered to other senior executive officers of the Company.

 

(g)       Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against damages and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with his status or performance of duties as an officer or director of the Company and its affiliates (including any predecessor entities) and shall use reasonable commercial efforts to maintain customary and appropriate directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of the Executive's protection. The Company's obligations under this Section 5(g) shall survive any termination of the Executive's employment hereunder.

 

Section 6.         Termination of Employment. The Company and the Executive may each terminate the Executive's employment hereunder and the Term for any reason.

 

(a)       Termination by the Company without Cause, or Termination by the Executive for Good Reason. If the Company shall terminate the Executive's employment without "Cause" (as defined in Section 6(g)(1)), or if the Executive resigns for Good Reason (as defined in Section 6(g)(2)):

(II)    any accrued but unpaid compensation as of the date of termination of employment;

 

(III)   a bonus equal to two (2) times the average annual Bonus paid to the Executive in respect of each of the immediately preceding two Fiscal Years prior to the Fiscal Year in which the Executive's termination of employment occurs; and

(3)           any unvested stock options then held by the Executive will continue to vest on their scheduled vesting dates, subject to and conditioned upon the Executive's compliance with Section 8 hereof. In addition, subject to, and conditioned upon, the Executive's compliance with Section 8 hereof, any vested options (and any options that continue to vest as described above) will remain exercisable until the later to occur of (A) one (1) year from the date of the Executive's termination of employment or (B) thirty (30) days from the date the options become vested and exercisable, but in no event later than the expiration date of the options;

 

(4)           RPSUs granted under Section 4(c) hereof will vest based upon actual performance over the applicable performance period as if Executive had remained employed to the applicable RPSU Certification Date; and

 

  

8

(I)      the Executive's Base Salary through the date on which his termination due to death or Disability occurred;

 

(II)    any accrued and unpaid compensation as of the date of termination of employment; and

 

(III)   a pro-rata portion of the Bonus he would otherwise have received for the Fiscal Year in which his termination due to death or Disability occurred, such Bonus to be paid at the same time that bonuses are paid to other executives of the Company;

 

(2)           any unvested stock options then held by the Executive will vest immediately and options held by the Executive, or his estate, will remain exercisable for three (3) years from the date of the Executive's death or termination due to Disability, but in no event later than the expiration date of the option;

 

(3)           any RPSUs granted under Section 4(c) hereof and then held by Executive shall vest in their entirety at target on the Executive's date of termination of employment; provided, that if the date of death occurs in the last year of a performance period, the RPSUs granted in respect of such performance period shall vest and be paid out based upon actual performance over such performance period as if Executive had remained employed to the applicable RPSU Certification Date; and

(d)       Termination by Reason of Non-Renewal of Agreement.  If the Executive's employment terminates at the end of the Term as a result of the Company's failure to offer to extend the Term of the Agreement or offer to enter into a new employment agreement on substantially the same terms as in effect immediately prior to the end of the Term:

 

(1)           the Executive shall be entitled to receive any accrued and unpaid compensation as of the date of termination of employment;

(e)       Payment Delay.

Upon the earlier of such dates, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 6(e) shall be paid in a lump sum to the Executive, and any remaining payments due under this Agreement (or in accordance with an award granted to Executive pursuant to the Prior Agreement) shall be paid as otherwise provided in accordance with its terms.

 

(f)       Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive's employment by the Company or by the Executive (other than termination pursuant to the Executive's death) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 10 hereof. If the Company terminates the Executive's employment for Cause or due to Disability or if the Executive resigns for Good Reason, the "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated.

 

(g)       Definitions. For purpose of this Agreement:

 

(1)           "Cause" shall mean (A) the willful and continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties hereunder after demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Company that specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes the Executive has not substantially performed his duties; or (B) the Executive's conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a crime (whether or not involving the Company) constituting a felony; or (C) willful engaging by the Executive in gross misconduct relating to the Executive's employment that is materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise (including, but not limited to, conduct that constitutes competitive activity, in violation of Section 8), or which subjects, or if 

 

  

11

  

 

generally known, would subject the Company to public ridicule or embarrassment. For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on the Executive's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause without (x) reasonable written notice to the Executive setting forth the reasons for the Company's intention to terminate for Cause, (y) an opportunity for the Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board, and (z) delivery to the Executive of a Notice of Termination, as defined in Section 6(f) hereof, from the Board finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth above in clauses (A), (B) or (C) hereof, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. In the event that the Board has so determined in good faith that Cause exists, the Board shall have no obligation to terminate the Executive's employment if the Board determines in its sole discretion that such a decision not to terminate the Executive's employment is in the best interest of the Company.

 

(2)           "Good Reason" shall mean a termination of employment by the Executive within one year following the occurrence of (A) a material diminution in the Executive's duties or the assignment to the Executive of a title or duties inconsistent with his position as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, (B) a material reduction in the Executive's salary or (C) a failure of the Company to comply with any material provision of this Agreement (including but not limited to, Section 4(b) and Section 4(c)); provided that the events described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above shall not constitute Good Reason unless (1) the Executive notifies the Company of the existence of such diminution, reduction or failure within 90 days of its occurrence and (2) unless such diminution, reduction or failure (as applicable) has not been cured within thirty (30) days after notice of such noncompliance has been given by the Executive to the Company.

 

(3)           "Disability" shall mean that as a result of the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness that is expected to result in death or continue for not less than 12 months, the Executive shall have been absent from his duties hereunder on a full-time basis for the entire period of six (6) consecutive months, and within thirty (30) days after written Notice of Termination is given by the Company (which may occur before or after the end of such six month period) the Executive shall not have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder on a full-time basis.

 

Section 7.         No Mitigation. The Executive shall have no duty to mitigate the payments provided for hereunder by seeking other employment or otherwise and such payment shall not be subject to reduction for any compensation received by the Executive from employment in any capacity following the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company.

 

  

12

  

 

Section 8.         Non-Solicitation/Non-Competition.

 

(a)       The Executive agrees that for the duration of his employment and for a period of three (3) years from the date of termination thereof, he will not, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, hire, solicit, or encourage to leave the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees any person who is an employee of any of such companies.

 

(b)       The Executive agrees that for the duration of his employment and for a period of three (3) years from the date of termination thereof, the Executive will take no action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to harm or impugn the reputation (e.g., making public derogatory statements or misusing confidential Company information, it being acknowledged that the Executive's employment with a competitor in and of itself shall, subject to his compliance with Section 8(c) hereof, not be deemed to be harmful to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees for purposes of this Section 8(b)) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or licensees.

 

(c)       The Executive agrees that during the duration of his employment and for a period of two (2) years following the date of the Executive's termination of employment for any reason other than death, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (1) engage in any "Competitive Business" (as defined below) for his own account, (2) enter into the employ of, or render any services to, any person engaged in a Competitive Business, or (3) become interested in any entity engaged in a Competitive Business, directly or indirectly as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant, or in any other relationship or capacity; provided that the Executive may own, solely as an investment, securities of any entity which are traded on a national securities exchange if the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls such entity and does not, directly or indirectly, own 2% or more of any class of securities of such entity.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Competitive Business" shall include the design, manufacture, sale, marketing or distribution of branded or designer apparel, home, accessories or fragrance products and other products in the categories of products sold by, or under license from, the Company or its affiliates or licensees.

 

(d)       The Executive will not at any time (whether during or after his employment with the Company) disclose or use for his own benefit or purposes or the benefit or purposes of any other person, entity or enterprise, other than the Company or any of its affiliates, any trade secrets, information, data, or other confidential information relating to customers, licensees, development programs, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales activities, promotion, credit and financial data, manufacturing processes, financing methods, plans or the business and affairs of the Company generally, or any affiliate of the Company; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to information which is not unique to the Company or which is generally known to the industry or the public other than as a result of the Executive's breach of this covenant. The Executive agrees that upon termination of his employment with the Company for any reason, he will return to the Company immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans, 

 

  

13

  

 

information, letters and other data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way relating to the business of the Company and its affiliates.

 

(e)       If the Executive breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section 8 (the "Restrictive Covenants"), the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the other and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or equity:

 

(1)           The right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company;

 

(2)           The right and remedy to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively, "Benefits") derived or received by the Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants, and the Executive shall account for and pay over such Benefits to the Company; and

 

(3)           In the event of an actual breach of the Restrictive Covenants which is not cured by Executive within ten (10) days of Executive’s receipt of written notice from the Company describing such breach, the right to discontinue the payment of any amounts owing to the Executive under the Agreement.

 

(f)       If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portion. In addition, if any court construes any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or area of such provision and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

 

Section 9.         Successors: Binding Agreement.

 

(a)       The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as herein defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and 

 

  

14

  

 

delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 9 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

 

(b)       This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amounts are payable to him hereunder all such amounts unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive's devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive's estate.

Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent any continuation of any violation of the provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement and the Executive hereby consents that such restraining order or injunction may be granted without the necessity of the Company's posting any bond, and provided further that the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of his right to be paid until the date of termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

 

Section 15.       Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to applicable law or regulation.

 

Section 16.       Prior Agreements; Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and, effective as of the Effective Date, shall supersede all prior agreements, amendments, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party hereto (including the Prior Agreement), except that all equity-based and other awards made prior to the Effective Date pursuant to the Prior Agreement (or pursuant to any earlier employment agreement between Executive and the Company) shall remain outstanding in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 17.       Section 409A of the Code.  The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and accordingly, to the maximum possible extent this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered consistent with such intent.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the company for purposes of this Agreement and no payments shall be due to Executive under Section 6 of this Agreement until Executive would be considered to have incurred a "separation from service" from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.  For purposes of this Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and any payments described herein that are due within the "short term deferral period" as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise.  To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, amounts reimbursable to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to Executive) during any one year may not affect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year, and the right to reimbursement (and in-kind benefits) may not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
