Re: Severance Payments 

 

Dear Mr. Malone:

 

Following up on our recent discussions, this letter shall set forth our agreement regarding certain terms of your employment with Mikros Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficient of which are hereby acknowledge, the undersigned agree as follows:

 

In the event that your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below), the Company shall pay to you (i) the Accrued Amount (as defined below) in a single lump sum within thirty (30) days after the date of termination, and (ii) an amount equal to your annual base salary in effect on the date of termination of your employment, less applicable deductions (the “Severance Amount”), in a single lump sum within thirty (30) days after the date of termination. Payment of the Severance Amount shall be conditioned upon your execution and non-revocation of a general release waiving any and all claims you have or may have against the Company, in a form to be provided by the Company, which general release has become effective in accordance with its terms.

 

In the event that a Change of Control occurs during the time you are employed by the Company, the Company shall pay to you an amount equal to the Severance Amount. Payment of the Severance Amount shall be conditioned upon your execution and non-revocation of a general release waiving any and all claims you have or may have against the Company, in a form to be provided by the Company, which general release has become effective in accordance with its terms.

 

In no event shall you be entitled to receive payment of the Severance Amount more than one time. By way of example, if there is a Change of Control, the Company pays the Severance Amount to you, your employment with the Company continues, and thereafter, the Company terminates your employment without Cause, you will not be entitled to payment of the Severance Amount upon such termination.

 

For purpose of this letter agreement:

 

“Accrued Amount” means any base salary, less applicable deductions, and reimbursable expenses, in each case, accrued but unpaid as of the date of termination, and any bonus earned and declared payable by the Board of Directors of the Company that remains unpaid as of the date of termination, less applicable deductions

 

“Cause” means (i) willful misconduct by you in the performance of any of your material executive employment duties which is likely to materially damage the financial position or reputation of the Company, which is not cured within thirty (30) days following receipt by you of written notice from the Company, (ii) conviction (or a plea of nolo contendere) by you of a felony, (iii) conduct by you which constitutes moral turpitude which is directly and materially injurious to the Company, or (iv) acts of fraud, dishonesty or misappropriation committed by you and intended to result in personal enrichment at the expense of the Company. For purposes of this definition, no act or failure to act on your part shall be considered "willful" unless done or omitted not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.
