EXHIBIT 10.4
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Agreement is dated as of the 21st day of March,
1997, between Campo Electronics, Appliances and Computers,
Inc. (the "Company") and Wayne J. Usie (the "Employee").
1. Employment/Capacity. The Company agrees to and
does hereby employ the Employee, and the Employee agrees to
and does hereby remain in the employ of the Company, upon
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Such
employment shall be in the capacity of Vice President -
Information Systems, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary,
subject to the supervision of the Company's Board of
Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Such employment
shall commence on the date of this Agreement (the "Effective
Date") and shall continue until the second anniversary of
the date of this Agreement unless sooner terminated as
provided in this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the
phrase "term of this Agreement" shall be deemed to include
the period subsequent to the Effective Date through the
earlier of termination of Employee's employment with the
Company or the second anniversary of the date of this
Agreement; however, such phrase shall not be construed as
limiting the enforceability by either party of any rights
provided for in this Agreement.
2. Time and Effort/Absences. During the term of this
Agreement, the Employee shall devote his entire time and
attention during normal business hours to the Company's
business, and he shall not engage in any other business
activity whether or not for gain, profit or other pecuniary
advantage, but nothing shall be construed to restrict him
(i) from performing services as a member of the Board of
Directors, Board of Trustees or the like of any non-profit
or for-profit entity whether or not he receives compensation
therefor, provided that such services do not unreasonably
interfere with his ability to perform the services and
discharge his responsibilities hereunder, (ii) from
investing his assets in such form or manner as will not
require any services on his part in the operation of the
business of the entity in which such investment is made,
and/or (iii) from serving in various capacities with, and
attending meetings of, industry groups and associations
relevant to the Company's business.
3. Corporate Offices. If elected, the Employee will
serve, without additional compensation, as a director of the
Company and/or as an officer and director (or in either
capacity) of any subsidiary of the Company. The Company
agrees during Employee's employment hereunder to:
(i) maintain, if available at a cost acceptable to
the Board of Directors in its discretion, director and
officer liability insurance for the Employee in
connection with his serving in all such capacities in
an amount and on such terms as are currently in effect
for officers and directors of the Company or, if
reduced, as are reasonably satisfactory to the Employ-
ee; and
(ii) use its reasonable best efforts to maintain
the director and officer exculpation and
indemnification provisions currently provided in its
Articles of Incorporation and By-laws and, if Louisiana
law at any time permits more protection than currently
provided, use its best efforts to add such additional
protection.
4. Salary/Bonus/Other Benefits. In consideration of
the services and duties to be rendered and performed by the
Employee during the term of this Agreement, the Company
agrees that it will, during the term of this Agreement, pay
and provide for the Employee the compensation and benefits
described below and described elsewhere in this Agreement
and the Appendices hereto:
a. Salary. A salary, payable in equal bi-weekly
installments, at the annualized rate provided in Appendix A
hereto, or in such greater amount as may from time to time
be fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company or any
duly authorized committee thereof. The Employee's salary
rate shall not be reduced without his written consent.
b. Bonus. A bonus or bonuses in such amount as
described and as may from time to time be fixed in
accordance with Appendix A hereto.
c. Other Benefits. The other payments and/or
benefits described in Appendix B hereto.
d. Withholding. All such payments shall be net
of applicable withholding for taxes and other required
amounts ("Withholding").
5. Expenses. The Employee shall be reimbursed for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred from time to time on behalf
of the Company or any subsidiary in the performance of his
duties under this Agreement, upon the presentation of such
supporting documents and forms as the Company shall
reasonably request.
6. Disability. If the Employee becomes Disabled (such
term is used as defined in Section 1.5 of the Company's
Severance Pay Plan and Summary Plan Description) during the
term of this Agreement the Company shall have the continuing
right and option while such disability continues by notice
in writing to the Employee to terminate this Agreement
effective thirty days after such notice is so given, unless
within such thirty day period he becomes capable of
rendering full time services of the character contemplated
hereby and he resumes such services. If the Employee
becomes Disabled, as aforesaid, the Company shall be
obligated to provide to him the amounts and benefits
described in Appendix C hereto (less Withholding) in lieu of
all other amounts and benefits provided by this Agreement.
7. Death. If Employee dies during the term of this
Agreement, this Agreement will terminate and the Company
shall be obligated to provide his personal representative(s)
and/or his beneficiaries with the amounts and death benefits
described in Appendix C hereto (less Withholding) in lieu of
all other amounts and benefits provided by this Agreement.
8. Severance or Termination Pay and Benefits. If the
employment of the Employee is terminated at any time during
the term of this Agreement (i) by him for Good Reason (as
defined in Paragraph 9 hereof) or (ii) by the Company for
any reason other than for Cause (as hereafter defined), the
Company shall be obligated to pay to him the severance pay
and benefits described in Appendix D hereto (less
Withholding) in lieu of all other amounts and benefits
provided by this Agreement. If the employment of Employee
is terminated at any time during the term of this Agreement
(i) by him without Good Reason or (ii) by the Company for
Cause, the Company shall be obligated to pay the Employee
the termination and other benefits described in Appendix E
hereto (less Withholding) in lieu of all other amounts and
benefits provided by this Agreement. Termination of the
Employee's employment on account of his Disability or death
will not require the Company to pay and provide any amounts
and benefits pursuant to Appendix D or E, but instead to pay
and provide the amounts and benefits described in Appendix
C.
As used herein, the term "Cause" means (i) the willful
and continuing failure by the Employee to perform
substantially the services contemplated (other than any such
failure resulting from his Disability) within a reasonable
period of time after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to him by a duly authorized member
or representative of the Company's Board of Directors which
specifically identifies the manner in which it is alleged
that he has not substantially performed such services, or
(ii) the willful engaging by him in misconduct materially
injurious to the Company.
9. Termination by the Employee for Good Reason.
a. The termination by the Employee of his
employment for "Good Reason" during the term of this
Agreement shall be deemed a justifiable termination of his
employment and shall excuse him from the obligation to
render services under or relating to this Agreement. In
that event the Company shall be obligated to pay to the
Employee the amounts and benefits described in Appendix D
hereto in lieu of all others provided by this Agreement. As
used herein, the term "Good Reason" means:
1. the occurrence of any of the following:
(i) a change by the Company in his status, title or
position(s) as an officer of the Company which does not
represent a promotion from or enhancement of his status,
title and position, or (ii) the assignment of any duties or
responsibilities which are inconsistent with such status,
title or position, or (iii) any removal of the Employee from
or any failure to reappoint or reelect him to his position
except in connection with a justifiable termination by the
Company of his employment for Cause or on account of
Disability or death or the termination by the Employee of
his employment other than for Good Reason, provided in each
such case described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) that the
same continues for 10 days after written notice thereof by
the Employee to the Company specifying the alleged
occurrence; or
2. a reduction in his salary rate or a
failure by the Company to pay to the Employee when due any
installment of salary and/or any bonus required pursuant to
Appendix A or to pay when due any other amounts owing under
or relating to this Agreement, or to perform any of the
Company's material obligations under this Agreement, which
reduction or failure in any such case continues for a period
of ten days after written notice thereof is given by him to
the Company; or
3. the Company's requiring him to be based
anywhere other than within a 75-mile radius of the New
Orleans, Louisiana area except for required travel in the
ordinary course of the Company's business.
b. The filing by or against the Company of an
application seeking protection under the federal bankruptcy
laws, or the granting of such application, shall not of
itself constitute Good Reason, but the failure of the
Company to satisfy Paragraph 27 shall constitute Good
Reason.
c. Employee's right to terminate his employment for
Good Reason during the term of this Agreement shall continue
in effect until the Company notifies Employee in writing
that Good Reason exists specifying the provision of the
Agreement giving rise to the right to terminate and Employee
fails to exercise such right within 60 days of actual
receipt of such notice. Any such failure to exercise shall
not prevent Employee from exercising the right to terminate
for Good Reason with respect to any new occurrence
constituting Good Reason that follows such failure and is
not a continuation of a prior such occurrence.
10. Notice of Termination. Any purported notice of
termination by the Company or the Employee of the Employee's
employment shall be communicated in a writing delivered to
the other party as provided in Paragraph 18 hereof
(hereinafter a "Notice of Termination"). Any such Notice of
Termination that purports to terminate Employee's employment
for Cause or for Good Reason shall specify the termination
provision relied upon by the party giving such notice and
shall set forth in detail such facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a justified basis for termination under
the provision(s) so indicated.
11. Trade Secrets, Etc. Upon the termination of his
employment, the Employee agrees forthwith to deliver up to
the Company, and, during the term of this Agreement and for
15 years thereafter, not to disclose to any person, firm,
corporation, association or other entity other than the
Company (a "Third Person") for any reason or purpose
whatsoever other than as authorized by the Company or as
required by law or as necessary to the performance of his
duties to the Company, any confidential data in his
possession, whether produced by the Company or by him,
relating to the Company's business or any past, current or
prospective activity of the Company.
12. Customer List. The Employee recognizes and
acknowledges that any written list(s) of the customers,
suppliers and/or vendors of the Company, its subsidiaries
and affiliates, is a valuable, special and unique asset.
The Employee agrees that he will not during the term of this
Agreement or within 15 years thereafter, use for his own
personal benefit or disclose any such written list or any
part thereof, to any Third Person for any reason or purpose
whatsoever.
13. [Omitted]
14. Injunctive Relief. In the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Employee of the provisions of
Paragraph 11 or 12 of this Agreement during or after the
term of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to an
injunction restraining the Employee from violation of such
paragraph. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting
the Company from pursuing any other remedy it may have in
the event of breach of this Agreement by the Employee.
15. Certain Proprietary Rights. The Employee agrees to
and hereby does assign to the Company all his right, title
and interest in and to all inventions, business plans, work
models or procedures, whether or not patentable, which are
made or conceived solely or jointly by him:
a. At any time during the term of his employment
by the Company and during the course of or in connection
with his duties during the term of this Agreement, or
b. With the use of time or materials of the
Company. The Employee agrees to communicate to the Company
or its representatives all facts known to him concerning
such matters, to sign all rightful papers, make all rightful
oaths and generally, at the Company's expense to do
everything reasonably practicable (without expense to the
Employee) to aid the Company in obtaining and enforcing
proper legal protection for all such matters in all
countries and in vesting title to such matters in the
Company. At the Company's request (during or after the term
of this Agreement) and expense, the Employee will promptly
execute a specific assignment of title to the Company, and
perform any other acts reasonably necessary to implement the
foregoing assignment.
16. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of:
a. The Company, and any successors or assigns of
the Company, whether by way of a merger or consolidation, or
by way of the Company selling all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, to a successor entity, or other-
wise; however, in the event of the assignment by the Company
of this Agreement, the Company shall nevertheless remain
liable and obligated to the Employee in accordance with the
terms hereof; and
b. The Employee, his estate, his executors,
administrators, heirs and beneficiaries, none of whom shall
be permitted to assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder.
17. Expenses Relating to Enforcement of Rights. The
Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent
permitted by law, all reasonable time-based legal fees and
expenses which the Employee may reasonably incur as a result
of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the
Company, the Employee or others of the validity or
enforceability of, or liability under, any provision hereof
(including as a result of any contest by the Employee about
the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement),
provided that if it is determined by a court that the
position of Employee in any such contest is unreasonable or
frivolous, he shall be required to reimburse the Company for
his legal fees and expenses so paid by the Company.
18. Notices. Any notice or other communication
required under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be

AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Amendment to Employment Agreement (the "Amendment") is
entered into this 24th day of June, 1997 by and between Campo
Electronics, Appliances and Computers, Inc.(the "Company") and
Wayne J. Usie (the "Employee").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Employee is presently employed by the Company
in the capacity of Vice President - Information Systems, Chief
Financial Officer and Secretary, said employment being pursuant
to an Employment Agreement dated March 21, 1997 (the
"Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Committee") recognizes that the
Employee's contribution to the Company, in terms of both the
complexity of the Company's business that Employee has been asked
to handle and the enormous amount of time and attention devoted
by Employee after normal business hours to the Company's
business, has been substantially in excess of what was
anticipated at the time that the Agreement was executed; and
WHEREAS, the Committee desires to provide for the continued
employment of the Employee and to make certain modifications to
the Agreement, and the Employee desires to continue to serve the
Company upon the terms and conditions of the Agreement as herein
amended.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the
respective representations and warranties and the mutual
covenants set forth in the Agreement, the parties hereto hereby
agree to amend the Agreement as follows:
1. Paragraph 2 of the Agreement is amended to require the
Employee to devote such time and attention after normal business
hours to the Company's business as is reasonably necessary and,
accordingly, Paragraph 2 of the Agreement is hereby revised to
read as follows:
2. Time and Effort/Absences. During the term
of this Agreement, the Employee shall devote
his entire time and attention during normal
business hours, and thereafter as reasonably
necessary, to the Company's business, and he
shall not engage in any other business
activity whether or not for gain, profit or
other pecuniary advantage, but nothing shall
be construed to restrict him (i) from
performing services as a member of the Board
of Directors, Board of Trustees or the like
of any non-profit or for-profit entity
whether or not he receives compensation
therefor, provided that such services do not
unreasonably interfere with his ability to
perform the services and discharge his
responsibilities hereunder, (ii) from
investing his assets in such form or manner
as will not require any services on his part
in the operation of the business of the
entity in which such investment is made,
and/or (iii) from serving in various
capacities with, and attending meetings of,
industry groups and associations relevant to
the Company's business.
2. The severance pay and benefits described in Appendix D
of the Agreement are revised to provide that the additional
salary and benefits that the Employee would have received had
his employment not terminated are payable at the times they would
otherwise be due rather than in a lump sum payment, and are
expanded to include the payment of the Stay Bonus in a lump sum
payment payable within 30 days after termination of employment.
Accordingly, the existing language of Appendix D to the Agreement
is deleted in its entirety and the following language is
substituted therefor:
APPENDIX D
SEVERANCE
Severance pay and benefits to be
provided to the Employee if the Employee is
terminated during the term of the Agreement
by the Company without Cause or the Employee
terminates his employment during the term of
the Agreement for Good Reason are as follows:
(a) the Company shall pay to the Employee
(payable within 15 days after termination of
employment) his salary and benefits through
the date of termination, to the extent not
already paid; (b) the Company shall pay to
the Employee the additional salary and
benefits that the Employee would have
received (at the times they would have been
paid) had his employment terminated at (i)
the first anniversary of the Agreement, or
(ii) six months after its actual termination,
whichever amount is greater, less any portion
thereof that has previously been paid and
less any severance benefits that are payable
to Employee under the Company's Severance Pay
Plan with respect to any "change of control"
that occurs prior to the termination of
Employee's employment; (c) the Company shall
pay the Stay Bonus to the Employee (payable
within 30 days after termination of
employment); and (d) for a period ending on
the earlier of (i) six months from the date
of termination of Employee's employment or
(ii) Employee's obtaining other full-time
permanent employment, the Company shall, at
its sole expense as incurred, provide the
Employee with outplacement services that are
reasonable in scope and cost in relation to
his position. The following is an example of
clause (b): if employment terminates prior to
the first six months of the term of this
Agreement and Employee is entitled to
severance, clause (b)(i) would apply. If it
terminates at any time after the end of the
first six months of the term of this
Agreement and Employee is entitled to
severance, clause (b)(ii) would apply.
3. Except as specifically amended herein, all other terms
and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in
full force and effect, and the Agreement, as amended herein shall
constitute the entire understanding and agreement among the
parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this
Amendment as of the day and year first above written.
