Dear Dick:

​

This letter is to confirm our recent discussions regarding your voluntary retirement from your current position as Chief Financial Officer of Phibro Animal Health Corporation (the “Company”) effective November 15, 2020.  As discussed, you have agreed to take on a new position with the Company, as Finance Advisor, for a period beginning November 16, 2020, and continuing through September 30, 2021 (or earlier date of termination in accordance with paragraph 1 below), at which time your employment with the Company will terminate.

​

This letter sets out the terms of our agreement regarding your continuing employment and the process by which we will move forward.

​

1.            Effective November 16, 2020, you will take on the role of Finance Advisor for the Company and shall be a Company employee in this position through September 30, 2021.  You will be eligible for benefits in accordance with the current Company policies, and will continue to be provided a Company vehicle allowance.  The Company agrees to maintain your employment through September 30, 2021 and will only terminate your employment prior to September 30, 2021 for Cause, as defined in paragraph 6 herein, or by mutual agreement of the Company and you.

​

2.            You will be paid an annual salary of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), less applicable taxes and deductions.  This position is not bonus eligible.

​

5.            It is anticipated that your work demands will not encompass one hundred percent (100%) of your time.  You will be allowed to perform your duties at your current home location or in other such locations as may

​

​

​

​

be mutually agreed upon. It is agreed by the parties hereto, that you are free to pursue other non-competitive ventures during working hours that are not encompassed by Company responsibilities. In the event of a question regarding a conflict, the parties agree to discuss the matter; however, the Company shall have the final decision regarding any conflict of interest or competitive matters.

​

6.            In the event your employment is terminated for “Cause,” the Company shall have no further obligations under this letter, including, without limitation, any obligation to pay base salary, future salary, bonus or other benefits under this letter. “Cause” shall be defined as: (i) your continued and willful failure to materially perform your duties and responsibilities under this letter after written notice and where such failure is not cured within five (5) days of your receipt of such notice, (ii) engaging in gross and willful misconduct including, but not limited to, fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (iii) conviction of a felony (other than traffic violations), habitual drunkenness or drug abuse, (iv) any violation of your confidentiality or noncompetition obligations or (v) violation of any Company policy including but not limited to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

​

​

9.            You agree that the terms and conditions of this letter are strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed to any other person except your immediate family, your legal counsel, taxing authorities in connection with your filing of federal or state tax returns, or as otherwise required by legal process or applicable law.

No modification of the Agreement shall be binding except in writing signed by the parties.

Employment Termination Certificate

​

​

I signed an Agreement and General Release on _____________________, 2020. I hereby acknowledge that:

​

(1) A blank copy of this Employment Termination Certificate (“Certificate”) was attached as Exhibit “B” to the Agreement and General Release when it was given to me for review. I have had more time to consider signing this Certificate than the ample time I was given to consider signing the Agreement and General Release. I was advised in writing to discuss the Agreement and General Release, including this Certificate, with an attorney before executing either document.

​

(2) I affirm that as of my Termination Date (on or before September 30, 2021), I returned all of the Company’s property, documents, and any confidential information in my possession or control. I also affirm that as of my Termination Date, I was in possession of all of my property that I had at the Company’s premises and that the Company is not in possession of any of my property.

​

(3) In exchange for the consideration described in the Agreement and General Release, I hereby agree that this Certificate will be a part of my Agreement and General Release and that my Agreement and General Release is to be construed and applied as if I signed it on the day I signed this Certificate. This extends, among other things, my general release of claims under Paragraph “4” of the Agreement and General Release to any claims that arose from the date I signed my Agreement and General Release, up to and including the date I signed this Certificate.
