RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company desire to memorialize their employment by entering into an employment agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, it is hereby covenanted and agreed by the Company and the Executive as follows:
1. Title and Job Duties
(a) The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive in the position of co-Chief Executive Officer and the Executive, in such capacity, agrees to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. In this capacity, Executive shall have the duties, authorities and responsibilities that are designated from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and commensurate with his title. In performing his duties under this Agreement, Executive shall report to the Board.
(b) Executive accepts such employment and agrees, during the term of his employment, to devote the majority of his full business and professional time and energy to the Company. Executive agrees to carry out and abide by all lawful directions of the Board and to comply with all standards of performance, policies, and other rules and regulations heretofore established by Company and or hereafter established by Company. In addition, Executive agrees to serve in such other capacities or offices to which he may be assigned, appointed or elected from time to time by the Board.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive shall not, without the written approval of the Board, render services of a business or commercial nature on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm, or corporation, whether for compensation or otherwise, during his employment hereunder; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent Executive from (i) serving on the boards of directors of, or holding any other offices or positions in non-profit organizations and, with the prior written approval of the Board, other for-profit companies, (ii) participating in charitable, civic, educational, professional, community or industry affairs, and (iii) managing Executive’s personal investments, so long as such activities in the aggregate do not materially interfere or conflict with Executive’s duties hereunder or create a potential business or fiduciary conflict. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be able to engage in the following activities listed in Exhibit A.
2. Compensation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Employment Agreement, during the Employment Period, the Executive shall be compensated by the Company for his services as follows:
(a) Base Salary. Executive shall receive a salary of $600,000 per annum (the “Base Salary”), payable in substantially equal monthly or more frequent installments and subject to normal tax withholdings.
(b) Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus based on the Company’s performance and the Executive having achieved performance benchmarks that shall be set jointly by the Board and the Executive each year in the context of the Executive’s review (the “Annual Bonus”). The Annual Bonus can be paid in the form of either cash or restricted stock at the discretion of the Board. Subject to the Board’s discretion and approval, the target amount for Executive Annual Bonus is 100% of his Base Salary.
(c) Equity. Executive shall receive such additional equity compensation in such amount and on such terms as shall be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board from time to time.
(d) Benefits. Executive shall be a participant in eligible group medical, dental and 401(k) plans maintained by the Company and the Company shall pay 90% of employee and dependent premiums on medical and dental insurance.
(e) Vacation; Perquisites. The Executive shall be entitled to vacation in accordance with the Company’s standard vacation policy extended to employees of the Company generally, at levels commensurate with Executive’s position. The Executive shall be entitled to any other benefits and perquisites on substantially the same terms and conditions as may be awarded to the employees of the Company from time to time.
(f) Travel and Entertainment. The Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable business, promotional, travel and entertainment expenses incurred or paid by the Executive during the Employment Period in the performance of his services under this Employment Agreement in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policy and to the extent that such expenses do not exceed the amounts allocable for such expenses in budgets that are approved from time to time by the Company. In order that the Company reimburse the Executive for such allowable expenses, the Executive shall furnish to the Company, in a timely fashion, the appropriate documentation required by the Internal Revenue Code in connection with such expenses and shall furnish such other documentation and accounting as the Company may from time to time reasonably request.
3. Employment Period. The terms set forth in this Employment Agreement will commence on January 1, 2021 and remain in effect for one (1) year (the “Initial Term”) unless earlier terminated as otherwise provided in Section 4 below. The Initial Term shall automatically renew for additional one (1) year periods (each a “Renewal Year”), unless the Company or Executive has delivered written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the Renewal Year, or the Agreement is earlier terminated as otherwise provided in Section 4 below. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Term” shall refer to the Initial Term and any Renewal Year. Notwithstanding this, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall be “at will,” meaning that either Executive or the Company shall be entitled to terminate Executive’s employment at any time and for any reason, with or without Cause, subject to the obligations in Section 5.
4. Termination.
(a) Termination at the Company’s Election.
(i) For Cause. At the election of the Company, Executive’s employment may be terminated for Cause (as defined below) immediately upon written notice to Executive. For purposes of this Employment Agreement, “Cause” for termination shall mean that Executive: (A) pleads “guilty” or “no contest” to or is indicted for or convicted of a felony under federal or state law or a crime under federal or state law which involves Executive’s fraud or dishonesty; (B) in carrying out his duties, engages in conduct that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct; (C) engages in misconduct that causes material harm to the reputation of the Company or knowingly or recklessly engages in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or any of its affiliates, monetarily or otherwise; or (D) materially breaches any term of this Employment Agreement or written policy of the Company, provided that for subsections (C) through (D), if the breach reasonably may be cured, Executive has been given at least thirty (30) days after Executive’s receipt of written notice of such breach from the Company to cure such breach. Whether or not such breach has been cured will be determined in the judgment of the Board.
(ii) Upon Disability, Death or Without Cause. At the election of the Company, Executive’s employment may be terminated without Cause: (A) should Executive, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment, become unable to perform, with or without reasonable accommodation, the essential functions of his job for the Company hereunder and such incapacity has continued for a total of ninety (90) consecutive days or for any one hundred eighty (180) days in a period of three hundred sixty-five (365) consecutive days (a “Disability”); (B) upon Executive’s death (“Death”); or (C) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Executive for any other reason or for no reason at all (“Without Cause”).
(b) Termination by Executive.
(i) Voluntary Resignation or Retirement. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any time and for any reason whatsoever or for no reason at all in Executive’s sole discretion by giving twenty-one days’ written notice pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement (“Voluntary Resignation”), but the Company may waive any continued employment or right to compensation or benefits, except as provided in Section 6(b) of this Agreement, during this notice period.
(ii) For Good Reason. At the election of the Executive, Executive’s employment may be terminated for Good Reason (as defined below) upon written notice to the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of one of the following events, without Executive’s express written consent, within one year following a Change in Control (as defined below) of the Company: (A) the material breach by the Company of any of the covenants, representations, terms or provisions hereof, including failure to pay Executive’s Base Salary or any bonus payment to which Executive is entitled within ten days of the date any such payment is due, (B) a material diminution in Executive’s title, authority, responsibilities, or duties, including reporting requirements, (C) a change in the reporting structure
so that (i) the Executive does not report solely and directly to the Board, or (ii) any employee of the Company does not report, directly or indirectly, to Executive, or (D) a relocation of the Executive’s principal place of employment to a location more than twenty-five (25) miles from the Company’s current principal place of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order for Executive to terminate for Good Reason, Executive must deliver written notice of the Good Reason occurrence within thirty days of the occurrence and the Company must fail to correct such occurrence in all material respects within thirty days following written notification by Executive.
5. Payments Upon Termination of Employment.
(a) Termination for Cause, Death, Disability, or Voluntary Resignation. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, Death or Disability or is terminated by Executive as a Voluntary Resignation, then the Company shall pay or provide to Executive the following amounts only: (i) his Base Salary accrued up to and including the date of termination or resignation, paid within thirty (30) days or at such earlier time required by applicable law; (ii) accrued, unused vacation time, paid in accordance with the Company’s written policies and applicable law; (iii) unreimbursed expenses, paid in accordance with this Employment Agreement and the Company’s written policies; and (iv) accrued benefits under any Company benefit plan, paid pursuant to the terms of such benefit plan (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”).
(b) Termination Without Cause or Non-Renewal by the Company or by Executive for Good Reason. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment Without Cause, Executive’s employment ends after the Company provides a notice of non-renewal, or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, in addition to the Accrued Obligations, the Company shall provide Executive the following: (i) a severance payment, payable in a lump sum, equal to 12 months of Executive’s Base Salary, (ii) reimbursement for the Executive’s cost of COBRA premiums for health insurance continuation coverage (to the extent such premiums exceed the contributory cost for the same coverage that the Company charges active employees) for twelve months or until his right to COBRA continuation expires, whichever is shorter; provided that Executive timely elects and is eligible for COBRA coverage, (iii) the target amount of the Annual Bonus, and (iv) immediate vesting of any equity granted to Executive. Such payment and other consideration are subject to Executive’s execution and delivery of a general release (that is no longer subject to revocation under applicable law) of the Company, its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns in a form satisfactory to the Company. All payments under this Section above shall begin to be made within sixty (60) days following termination of employment; provided, however, that to the extent required by Code Section 409A (as defined below), if the sixty (60) day period begins in one calendar year and ends in the second calendar year, all payments will be made in the second calendar year. The payments under this Section 5(b) shall immediately cease should Executive violate any of the obligations set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company terminates the Executive’s employment without Cause, Executive’s employment ends after the Company provides a notice of non-renewal, or Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, either (x) during a period of time when the Company is party to a fully executed letter of intent or a definitive corporate transaction agreement, the consummation of which would result in a Change of Control (defined below) or (y) within eighteen months following a Change of Control, then the severance payment under (i) shall equal the equivalent of eighteen months of Base Salary and the reimbursement under (ii) shall continue for eighteen months (“Change of Control Payment”).
(c) Change in Control. For purposes of this Employment Agreement, “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:
(i) any person, other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the shareowners of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, becomes the beneficial owner, 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;
(ii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new director whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s shareowners was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof;
(iii) the consummation of 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
(iv) the shareowners 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.
For the avoidance of doubt, a corporate restructuring (i) whereby a new parent company is created and immediately following such transaction the Company is a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of such new parent company, whether through reorganization, merger, exchange or other corporate means, or (ii) in connection with or in preparation for an initial public offering, in each case, shall not be deemed to be a Change of Control.
6. Restrictive Covenants. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Executive has a major responsibility for the operation, development and growth of the Company’s business; (ii) the Executive’s work for the Company will bring him into close contact with Confidential Information (defined below) of the Company and its clients; and (iii) the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 6 are essential to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and that the Company will not enter into this Employment Agreement but for such agreements and covenants. Accordingly, the Executive covenants and agrees to the following:
(a) Confidential Information.
(i) Executive understands that during his employment, he may have access to unpublished and otherwise confidential information both of a technical and non-technical nature, relating to the business of the Company or any of its parents, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates (collectively, “Affiliated Entities”), or clients, including without limitation any of their actual or anticipated business, research or development, any of their technology or the implementation or exploitation thereof, including without limitation information Executive and others have collected, obtained or created, information pertaining to clients, accounts, vendors, prices, costs, materials, processes, codes, material results, technology, system designs, system specifications, materials of construction, trade secrets or equipment designs, including information disclosed to the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities by others under agreements to hold such information confidential (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Executive agrees to observe all policies and procedures of the Company and its Affiliated Entities concerning such Confidential Information. Executive further agrees not to disclose or use, either during his employment or at any time thereafter, any Confidential Information for any purpose, including without limitation any competitive purpose, unless authorized to do so by the Company in writing, except that he may disclose and use such information in the good faith performance of his duties for the Company. Executive’s obligations under this Employment Agreement will continue with respect to Confidential Information, whether or not his employment is terminated, until such information becomes generally available from public sources through no fault of Executive or any representative of Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Executive shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information as may be required by a subpoena or other governmental order, provided that he first notifies the Company of such subpoena, order or other requirement and such that the Company has the opportunity to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy.
(ii) During Executive’s employment, upon the Company’s request, or upon the termination of his employment for any reason, Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all documents, records, files, notebooks, manuals, letters, notes, reports, customer and supplier lists, cost and profit data, e-mail, apparatus, laptops, computers, smartphones, tablets or other PDAs, hardware, software, drawings, blueprints, and any other material of the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities or clients, including all materials pertaining to Confidential Information developed by Executive or others, and all copies of such materials, whether of a technical, business or fiscal nature, whether on the hard drive of a laptop or desktop computer, in hard copy, disk or any other format, which are in his possession, custody or control.
(b) Non-Solicitation.
(i) During Executive’s employment with the Company or its Affiliated Entities and for twelve (12) months following the termination thereof for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), the Executive shall not solicit for business or accept the business of, any person or entity who is, or was at any time within the previous twelve (12) months, a Customer (as defined below) of the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities. This excludes any Customers who were Customers of the Executive or Executive’s non-P10 Investment Funds prior to joining Company.
(ii) Throughout the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, employ, solicit, for employment, or otherwise contract for or hire, the services of any individual who is then an employee of or consultant to the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities or who was an employee of the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities during the twelve (12) month period preceding the termination of his employment.
(iii) Throughout the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not take any action that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of encouraging or inducing any employee, consultant, representative, officer, or director of the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities to cease their relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities for any reason.
(iv) For purposes of this Employment Agreement, the term “Territory” shall mean throughout the area comprising the Company’s or any of its Affiliated Entities, as applicable, market for its services and products within which area Executive was materially concerned during the twelve (12) month period prior to the termination of Executive’s employment.
(v) For purposes of this Employment Agreement, the term “Customer(s)” shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, business or other entity, whether for-profit or not-for-profit, public, privately held, or owned by the United States government that is a business entity or individual with whom the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities has done business or with whom Executive has actively negotiated with during the twelve (12) month period preceding the termination of Executive’s employment.
(vi) Executive and the Company agrees that in the event a court determines the length of time, territory or activities prohibited under this Employment Agreement are too restrictive to be enforceable, the court may reduce the scope of the restriction to the extent necessary to make the restriction enforceable.
7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Executive.
(a) No Restrictive Covenants. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that he is not subject to any agreement restricting his ability to enter into this Employment Agreement and fully carry out his duties and responsibilities hereunder. Executive hereby indemnifies and holds the Company harmless against any losses, claims, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages or liabilities incurred by the Company as a result of a breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.
(b) Adherence to Code of Ethics and Insider Trading Policy. The Executive represents and warrants that he has received a copy of the Company’s Code of Ethics and its Insider Trading Policy. The Executive covenants and agrees to adhere to both the Code of Ethics and the Insider Trading Policy as may be amended from time to time. The Executive acknowledges that a material violation of either the Code of Ethics or the Insider Trading Policy would constitute a material breach of this Employment Agreement.
(c) Assignment of Intellectual Property.
(i) Executive will promptly disclose to the Company any idea, invention, discovery or improvement, whether patentable or not (“Creations”), conceived or made by him alone or with others at any time during his employment with the Company. Executive agrees that the Company owns any such Creations, and Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company all moral and other rights he has or may acquire therein and agrees to execute any and all applications, assignments and other instruments relating thereto which the Company deems necessary or desirable. These obligations shall continue beyond the termination of his employment with respect to Creations and derivatives of such Creations conceived or made during his employment with the Company. The Company and Executive understand that the obligation to assign Creations to the Company shall not apply to any Creation which is developed entirely on his own time without using any of the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, and/or Confidential Information (“Executive Creations”) unless such Creation (i) relates in any way to the business or to the current or anticipated research or development of the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities, or (ii) results in any way from his work at the Company.
(ii) In any jurisdiction in which moral rights cannot be assigned, Executive hereby waives any such moral rights and any similar or analogous rights under the applicable laws of any country of the world that Executive may have in connection with the Creations, and to the extent such waiver is unenforceable, hereby covenants and agrees not to bring any claim, suit or other legal proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliated Entities claiming that Executive’s moral rights to the Creations have been violated.
(iii) Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company, both during and after his employment with the Company, with respect to the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of copyrights, patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights (both in the United States and foreign countries) relating to such Creations. Executive shall sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignments of priority rights and powers of attorney, which the Company, acting reasonably, may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Creations. Executive further agrees that if the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure Executive’s signature on any such papers, any officer of the Company shall be entitled to execute such papers as his agent and attorney-in-fact and Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each officer of the Company as his agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such papers on his behalf and to take any and all actions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Creations, under the conditions described in this paragraph, all to the exclusion of Executive’s Creations.
8. Remedies. The Executive acknowledges that the Company would be irreparably injured by a violation of the covenants contained in Sections 6 or 7, and agrees that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Executive from any actual or threatened breach of the covenants contained in Sections 6 or 7, or to any other appropriate equitable remedy without bond or other security being required. Any such relief shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any appropriate relief in the way of monetary damages that the parties may seek in arbitration.
