WHEREAS, the Company wishes to continue to retain the services of Executive on terms and conditions mutually agreeable and beneficial to the Company and Executive; and
 
WHEREAS, Executive is willing to continue to render his services to the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof;

2.           TERM.  This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2008.  Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically be renewed for successive terms of one year each unless either party shall give the other party written notice, at least 90 days prior to the end of the then current term, of its or his intent not to renew this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration of the then current term under the circumstances described in Section 7 below in accordance with the provisions thereof.
 
3.           COMPENSATION.
 
(a)            Base Salary.  As compensation for the employment services to be rendered by Executive hereunder, including all services as an officer of the Company and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (“related entities”), the Company agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to Executive, and Executive agrees to accept, an annual salary of $365,000.00, payable in equal installments in accordance with Company practice. The foregoing salary shall be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or its Compensation Committee, which shall consider, in its sole discretion, whether to increase the same in light of increased responsibilities, changes in the cost of living and other factors which the Board may deem relevant.
 


 
 

 


 
(b)            Other Compensation.  In addition to the base salary provided for in Section 3(a) hereof, in respect of calendar year 2004 and each calendar year thereafter during the term hereof, Executive shall also be eligible to receive additional compensation in the form of a performance bonus (a “Bonus”) for such year pursuant to a bonus plan established and administered by the Board (or its Compensation Committee), in its sole discretion, for the benefit of the Company's senior management.  The amount of the Bonus for each year, if any, shall be a function of Executive's efforts and performance, as well as the Company's growth, results of operations and financial condition, and such other factors as the Board (or its Compensation Committee) may, in its sole discretion, deem relevant.  The Company shall have no obligation to establish such a bonus plan, or to pay to Executive any Bonus thereunder, if the Board (or its Compensation Committee), in its sole discretion, determines not to establish such a plan and/or not to make a payment under such a plan to Executive.
 
4.            EXPENSES.  The Company shall pay or reimburse Executive, upon presentment of suitable vouchers, for all reasonable business and travel expenses which may be incurred or paid by Executive in connection with his employment hereunder.  Executive shall comply with such restrictions and shall keep such records as the Company may deem necessary to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
5.            OTHER BENEFITS.
 
(a)           Executive shall be entitled to vacation at the rate of four (4) weeks per year, with vacation time to accrue based upon the accrual schedule set forth in the Company's Employee Handbook.  All vacation days shall be taken at such times as do not unreasonably interfere with the business of the Company.  Executive may be entitled to carry unused vacation time forward from year to year, and to be compensated for any unused vacation time, in accordance with the policy of the Company with respect to such matters in effect from time to time.
 
(b)           Executive shall be entitled to participate in all pension and welfare plans, programs and benefits offered by the Company generally with respect to senior officers of the Company, all as determined from time to time by the Company's Board of Directors, in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans and programs.

(c)            The principal location at which Executive shall perform his duties hereunder shall be at the offices of the Company in New York, New York, or as reasonably changed in the future, although Executive understands and agrees that he will be required to travel from time to time for business reasons.

As used herein, the term “Non-Compete Period” shall mean the period during the term of this Agreement and a further period of two (2) years following the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof, whether or not Executive timely executes the Severance Release (if applicable) as called for by Section 7(b) hereof; provided, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7(a)(1) hereof, the Non-Compete Period shall be deemed to cease if the Company fails to pay when due any periodic installment of the severance obligation pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof and such payment default shall remain uncured 10 days following the Company’s receipt of a written default notice from Executive.”
