Mr. Kevin Neary
Dear Kevin:
We are pleased to inform you that you are entitled to receive a special bonus of $555,800 (the “Bonus”), less applicable withholdings, upon the sale of PRIMEDIA Enthusiast Media Inc. to Source Interlink Companies, Inc. (the “Sale”).
The Bonus amount was based on the sale price of $1,177,900,000 and calculated in accordance with the formula set forth on Attachment A. The Bonus will be payable within ten days of the closing date of the Sale (“the Payment Date”).
In the event that PRIMEDIA Inc. terminates your employment for “Cause” prior to the Payment Date, you would no longer be entitled to receive the Bonus. For purposes of this Letter Agreement, “cause” shall include any act of dishonesty committed by you in connection with your employment, substance abuse, conviction of a felony, behavior injurious to PRIMEDIA, the willful or repeated failure or refusal to perform your duties or gross insubordination.
In the event that PRIMEDIA terminates your employment without Cause prior to the Payment Date, you shall remain entitled to the Bonus.
In the event you voluntarily terminate your employment prior to the Payment Date, you would no longer be entitled to receive the Bonus.
Very truly yours, | ||
| Mike Discepolo | |
