The employment agreements that The Middleton Doll Company (the “Company”) previously entered into with Craig R. Bald, Vice President of Finance, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company, and Kenneth A. Werner, Jr., a director of the Company and President of the consumer products business segment of the Company, each contain an “evergreen” provision. The evergreen provision provides that the term of each agreement automatically renews for one additional day that it is in effect, such that each agreement remains evergreen for a one year period, unless either party gives written notice to the other to cease the renewals, in which case the employment agreement remains in effect until the end of the then current one-year term. In a written notice dated September 1, 2008, the Company provided notice to Mr. Bald and Mr. Werner that it was ceasing the renewals, which results in the employment agreements having a one-year term beginning on the date Mr. Bald and Mr. Werner received the written notice.
