If a Change In Control event occurs within 18 months following your actual termination date, you will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to one year’s base salary ($220,420), said payment to be made no later than 30 days following the Change In Control event.  If the Change In Control event occurs more than 18 months but less than 3 years after your actual termination date, the amount of the lump sum payment will be ratably reduced based on when the Change In Control event occurs between the 19th and 36th months following your actual termination date.

 

“Change In Control” means and includes each of the following occurrences:

 

	
  

	
a.

	
The shareholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company’s assets.

 

	
  

	
b.

	
The acquisition by any Person or Beneficial Owner (as those terms are defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities.

 

You acknowledge and agree that the severance compensation described herein is not otherwise due to you under NTS’ existing policies, procedures and benefit plans or on any other basis.

 

	
2.

	
From and after the actual termination date, you will not be entitled to any further payments or benefits of any kind, other than as stated in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a breach by you of any of the terms or conditions in this Agreement, or of a breach or violation of any of the terms or conditions of the agreement referred to in paragraph 5 below, all payments due under this Agreement will immediately cease, and NTS will have no further obligation to you under this Agreement.

 

	
3.

	
You acknowledge that at termination you will be paid your final pay through the actual termination date, including any accrued but unused vacation time. You agree that following your actual termination date, you are not entitled to receive any further monetary payments from NTS, and that the only payments or benefits that you are entitled to receive from NTS in the future are those specified in paragraph 1 and 4 of this Agreement. This will also confirm that you have not suffered any on-the-job injury for which you have not already filed a claim.

Except for claims arising out of the promises contained here, any and all Claims (as defined below), which you may have against NTS (as defined below) arising out of your employment with NTS or the termination of that employment, are fully and completely settled, and all liability or potential liability arising out of any such Claim is hereby released.  “Claims,” as used in this Agreement shall include but not be limited to those based upon or arising out of any alleged violation of your civil rights, wrongful discharge, breach of contract, tort, common law, statutory and constitutional claims, or any state, local or federal statute (including but not limited to the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the California Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act) and any other law prohibiting race, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or perceived disability discrimination.  “NTS,” as used in this Agreement, shall include, in addition to National Technical Systems, Inc., any predecessor, successor, parent, subsidiary or affiliate of National Technical Systems, Inc. or any officer, director, employee, shareholder or affiliate of it.

8.

	
You acknowledge that it is your intention to fully and finally resolve and release any and all Claims, known or unknown, which may exist against NTS and recognize that you may later discover facts in addition to or different from those which you now know or believe to be true.  In furtherance of this intention, and to finally resolve all matters between yourself and NTS, you agree to waive and relinquish any and all rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California which provides as follows:

 

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

 

	
9.

	
In addition to the release set forth above, you voluntarily and knowingly waive all rights or claims arising under the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act. This waiver is given only in exchange for consideration in addition to anything of value to which you are entitled. This waiver does not waive rights or claims that may arise after the date of execution of this Agreement. You acknowledge that (a) this paragraph is written in a manner calculated to be understood by you, (b) by reviewing this paragraph you have been advised in writing to consult with an attorney before executing this Agreement, (c) you are being given a period of twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this paragraph, and (d) to the extent you execute this Agreement, including this paragraph, before the expiration of the twenty-one (21) day period, you do so knowingly and voluntarily. You will have the right to cancel and revoke this Agreement during a period of seven (7) days following your execution of it. In order to cancel and revoke this Agreement, you must deliver to NTS, prior to the expiration of the seven (7) day period, a written notice of cancellation and revocation. This Agreement will be effective at the end of the seven (7) day period if no revocation has been received.

 

 

  

  

  

 

Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) rights and responsibilities to enforce the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, or any other applicable law, nor shall anything in this Agreement be construed as a basis for interfering with your protected right to file a timely charge with, or participate in an investigation or proceeding conducted by, the EEOC, or any other state, federal or local government entity; provided, however, if the EEOC or any other state, federal or local government entity commences an investigation on your behalf, you specifically waive and release your right, if any, to recover any monetary or other benefits of any sort whatsoever arising from any such investigation or otherwise, nor will you seek or accept reinstatement to your former position with NTS.

 

	
10.

	
You understand and agree that to the fullest extent permitted by law, you are precluded from filing or pursuing any legal claim of any kind against NTS at any time in the future, in any federal or state court, administrative agency or other tribunal, arising out of any of the claims that you have waived by virtue of executing this Agreement.  You agree not to file or pursue any such legal claims.

 

	
11.

	
You agree that you will not, for a period of twelve months from the actual termination date, directly or indirectly recruit, solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any employee, consultant or vendor of NTS to terminate employment or any other relationship with NTS.  You agree that you will not at any time use Confidential Information to recruit, solicit, retain or hire any of NTS’ employees, consultants or vendors. You further agree to execute the Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement (a copy of which is attached) and acknowledge that this agreement remains in full force and effect following the termination date.

 

	
12.

	
You agree that except as may be required by law, neither you nor any member of your family will disclose to any individual or entity (other than your legal, tax or financial advisors) the terms of this Agreement.  In the event that such disclosure is made, any outstanding obligations of NTS under this Agreement will immediately terminate at the option of NTS.

 

 

  

  

  

	
13.

	
You acknowledge that money damages are an inadequate remedy for any breach by you of any of the provisions of paragraphs 5, 6, 11 or 12 of this Agreement, and therefore NTS may be entitled to injunctive relief for any such breach.

 

	
14.

	
The provisions of this Agreement are severable.  If any provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable, it will not affect the validity or the enforceability of any other provision.

 

	
15.

	
You acknowledge you have received, or had the opportunity to receive, independent legal advice from legal counsel of your choice with respect to the advisability of making the settlement provided for in this Agreement and with respect to the advisability of executing this Agreement.

 

	
16.

	
This Agreement is governed by California law without regard to conflict of law principles.

 

	
17.

	
Any controversy, dispute, or claim between the parties to this Agreement, including any claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the formation, interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, before a single arbitrator, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

 

This Agreement fully sets forth the terms of your separation of employment from NTS and supersedes any prior discussions or agreements whether verbal or written with regard to that subject.  Please indicate your agreement to such terms by signing the extra copy and returning it to me.

Section 2. 

	
Amendments.

 

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below, the Credit Agreement shall be and hereby is amended as follows:

 

2.1.               Sections 2.1 (Applicable Interest Rates), 2.2 (Minimum Borrowing Amounts), 2.3 (Borrowing Procedures), 2.4 (Interest Periods), 2.5 (Maturity of Loans), 2.6 (Prepayments), 2.7 (Default Rate) of the Credit Agreement shall each be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

Section 2.1. Applicable Interest Rates. (a) In the absence of an Event of Default or Default hereunder, and prior to maturity, the outstanding balance of the Loans will bear interest at an annual rate at all times equal to the greater of (i) LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (ii) 4.0%.

 

(b) Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each month commencing on the first such date after the first Borrowing hereunder and continuing until the Commitments are terminated and the Obligations are paid in full.  Unless otherwise required by Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time or the Borrower has otherwise paid or informed Administrative Agent that the Borrower will pay such amount in immediately available funds, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing on the first (1st) day of each calendar month in an amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest and any other accrued but unpaid fees due and owing hereunder and such amount shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations.  Interest as provided hereunder will be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and the actual number of days elapsed.  The rate of interest provided for hereunder is subject to increase or decrease when and as the LIBOR Rate increases or decreases in an amount corresponding to the change in the LIBOR Rate.  Any such change in the interest rate hereunder shall take effect the first (1st) day of the month following a change in the LIBOR Rate. 

 

  

-4-

  

 

(c) Payments of interest and fees not received within ten (10) days of the date due, are subject to a late charge equal to Five Hundred Dollars ($500), which late charge shall be in addition to any charge, fee or interest otherwise payable hereunder.

 

Section 2.2.  Minimum Borrowing Amounts.   Each Borrowing of Loans shall be in an amount not less than $50,000.00 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000.00.

 

Section 2.3.  Borrowing Procedures. 

 

(a)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing not later than 12:00 Noon (Central time) on the date of each requested Borrowing, specifying the date and amount of the Borrowing.  Such notice shall be submitted via the Administrative Agent’s online automatic request system or in the form of the Request for Advance and shall be certified by the President or Treasurer (or such other authorized Person as the Borrower directs from time to time) of the Borrower .  Each request for a Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.  Notwithstanding the obligation of the Borrower to send written confirmation of a Request for Advance, in the event that the Administrative Agent agrees to accept a Request for Advance made by telephone, such telephonic request shall be binding on the Borrower whether or not written confirmation is sent by the Borrower or requested by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may act prior to the receipt of any requested written confirmation, without any liability whatsoever, based upon telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower or its agents.  The Administrative Agent’s records of the terms of any telephonic requests for Advances shall be conclusive on the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent in connection therewith.

 

  

-5-

  

 

(b)The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice (but in no event later than 1:00 P.M. (Central time) on the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of notice from Borrower) of each Request for Advance by facsimile, telephone, e-mail or other form of transmission.  No later than 3:00 P.M. (Central time) on the date on which a Borrowing is requested to be made pursuant to the applicable Request for Advance, each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, its Commitment Percentage of such Borrowing requested to be made.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make such amount available to the Administrative Agent as required above and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available the amount of the Borrowing to be provided by such Lender.  Upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.3(a) and 7.2 of this Agreement for such Borrowing, and as soon as practicable after receipt of funds from the Lenders (but in any event not later than 2:00 P.M. (Central time)) the Administrative Agent will make such funds as have been received from the Lenders available to the Borrower in the Designated Disbursement Account agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 

 

(c)To administer the Loan in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Lenders hereby instruct the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion, without any obligation) (i) make available, on behalf of the Lenders, the full amount of all Borrowings requested by the Borrowers, without giving each Lender prior notice of the proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof and the other matters covered by the Request for Advance and (ii) if the Administrative Agent has made any such amounts available as provided in clause (i), upon repayment of the Loans by the Borrower, first apply such amounts repaid directly to the amounts made available by the Administrative Agent in accordance with clause (i) and not yet settled as described below.  If the Administrative Agent advances a Borrowing on behalf of the Lenders, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of outstanding Loans and each Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof shall be computed weekly rather than daily and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of outstanding Loans as of 5:00 P.M. (Central time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each computation; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent retains the absolute right at any time or from time to time to make the afore-described adjustments at intervals more frequent than weekly.  The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders at the end of each week, or such lesser period or periods as the Administrative Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans for such period (such week or lesser period or periods being hereafter referred to as a “Settlement Period”).  If the summary statement is sent by the Administrative Agent and received by the Lenders prior to 12:00 Noon  (Central time) on any Business Day each Lender shall make the transfers described in the next succeeding sentence no later than 3:00 P.M. (Central time) on the day such summary statement was sent; and if such summary statement is sent by the Administrative Agent and received by the Lenders after 12:00 Noon (Central time) on any Business Day, each Lender shall make such transfers no later than 3:00 P.M. (Central time) the next succeeding Business Day after such summary statement was sent.  If in any Settlement Period, the amount of a Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loans is in excess of the amount of Loans actually funded by such Lender, such Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the next preceding sentence) transfer to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of such excess; and, on the other hand, if the amount of a Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loans in any Settlement Period is less than the amount of Loans actually funded by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith transfer to such Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of such difference.  The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds shall be irrevocable and unconditional, without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent and made without setoff or deduction of any kind.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to mark their respective books and records at the end of each Settlement Period to show at all times the dollar amount of their respective Commitment Percentages of the outstanding Loans.  Because the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Loans prior to the time when the Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid Loans, interest with respect to Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent to each Lender (including the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the amount of Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender (including the Administrative Agent) during each Settlement Period and shall accrue from and including the date such Borrowing is advanced by the Administrative Agent to but excluding the date such Loans are repaid by the Borrower or actually settled by the applicable Lender as described in this Section 2.3(c).  All such Borrowings advanced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable hereunder for Loans.  Each Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.1 of this Agreement, on outstanding Loans which it has funded to the Administrative Agent from the date such Lender funded such Loans to, but excluding, the date on which such Lender is repaid with respect to such Loans.

(d)If the amounts described in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 2.3 are not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by a Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent has made such amount available to Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Defaulting Lender.  If such Defaulting Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such demand) pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Defaulting Lender and the Borrower, (i) interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to either (A) if paid by such Defaulting Lender, the Federal Funds Rate or (B) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.1 of this Agreement, plus (ii) in each case, an amount equal to any costs (including reasonable legal expenses) and losses incurred as a result of the failure of such Defaulting Lender to provide such amount as provided in this Agreement.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Borrowers to seek reimbursement from any Defaulting Lender for any amounts paid by the Borrower under clause (ii) above on account of such Defaulting Lender’s default.

 

(e)The failure of any Lender to make its portion of the Borrowing to be made by it as part of any advance shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to advance its portion of the Borrowing on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the portion of a Borrowing to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.  The amounts payable by each Lender shall be a separate and independent obligation.

(b)Mandatory.  

 

(i)Concurrently with each reduction of the Commitments (whether voluntarily pursuant to Section 2.9 or otherwise), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans by the amount, if any, necessary so that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall not exceed the Commitments as so reduced, each such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment.

 

(ii)The Borrower covenants and agrees that in the event that the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall at any time and for any reason exceed the Available Borrowing Base as then determined and computed, the Borrower shall immediately upon the demand of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders pay over the amount of the excess to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as and for a mandatory prepayment on the Loans.
