Dear Larry:

 

I am pleased to extend an offer of employment to you as President, Phibro Animal Health and Nutrition, of Phibro Animal Health Corporation, a New York corporation (the “Company”), with its principal place of business located at 65 Challenger Road, Third Floor, Ridgefield Park, New Jersey 07660, reporting directly to me, the Chief Executive Officer. Initially, you will be primarily responsible for management of the Phibro Animal Health division, and you will also be involved in pursuing acquisition targets in the animal health industry. Within fiscal year 2009 you will assume additional responsibility for the Prince Agriproducts animal nutrition business.

 

The terms of our offer to you are as follows:

 

Announcement and Start Date

 

I anticipate a start date no later than May 19, 2008; in the event that your current employer excuses you before your notice period is served, we would be pleased to move your start date earlier in May to a date on which we mutually agree.

 

Base Salary and Compensation

 

You will be paid an annual base salary of $375,000, payable on the 15th and last business day of each month. Your base salary is subject to periodic review as per Company policy, but shall not be less than $375,000 per year.

 

Beginning in fiscal year 2009, you are eligible to participate in the Phibro Animal Health Corporate Incentive Plan. Your target bonus for 2009 will be 50% of your base salary or $187,500 with a maximum annual payout of 75% of your base salary or $281 ,250. Annual Incentive Plan bonus payments are made after the conclusion of the Company’s fiscal year on June 30. Incentive Plan bonus payments are made at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, and are subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Additionally you will receive two special, one time bonus payments. The first will be in the amount of $75,000 and paid on September 30, 2008. The second payment will be in the amount of $175,000 and payable on July 1, 2009.

 

In order to receive the special, one time bonus payments, you must be employed by the Company on the date that the applicable bonus is scheduled to be paid, unless your employment has been involuntarily terminated without “Cause” or you have resigned for “Good Reason” (each as defined in this Agreement). In order to receive the incentive Plan bonus payments, you must be employed by the Company on the date that the applicable bonus is scheduled to be paid, except as provided below under “Severance.”

 

With the completion of our recently announced Equity Sale and AIM offering the Corporation will implement an executive incentive stock plan in which you will participate at a level reflective of your role as President, Phibro Animal Health and Nutrition. It is anticipated that awards under the plan will be implemented by

 

65 Challenger Road, Third Floor, Ridgefield Park, NJ  07660  •   ###-###-####  •  Fax: 201 ###-###-####

 

 
 

 

Phibro Animal Health Corporation

 

March 31, 2009, with failure to do so by the Company constituting a basis for “Good Reason” resignation by you provided the Company has not implemented an executive incentive stock plan prior to the date of your resignation.

 

You will be provided with a vehicle for your business and personal use paid for by Phibro Animal Health pursuant to the Company Fleet Policy. Alternatively, you may opt to receive a car allowance of $750 per month.

 

Benefit Plans

 

You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s benefit plans and programs, which includes Health, Dental, Life and Disability Insurance after a 30-day waiting period; 401 (k) Retirement and Savings Plan; and a Defined Benefit Retirement Plan, to the same extent and under the same conditions that such benefits are afforded to other senior executives of the Company. Participation in these plans and programs is subject to the terms and conditions of the plans and programs and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from terminating, amending, or otherwise altering any such plan or program.

 

Vacation

 

You will be entitled to four weeks of vacation per calendar year.

 

Conditions of Employment

 

You will be expected to sign a Non-Compete/Non-Solicitation Agreement, a Confidentiality/Non-Disclosure Agreement, and an Employee Invention Agreement. These agreements are enclosed.

 

You will be entitled to the benefit of the Company’s Directors and Officers liability insurance coverage on the same terms and conditions as other senior executives of the Company. You will also enter into an Indemnification Agreement with the Company for your benefit.

 

You agree, at the request of the Company, to cooperate with the Company in connection with any ongoing or future investigation, litigation, dispute or claim of any kind involving the Company, including any proceeding before any arbitral, administrative, judicial, legislative, or other body or agency against the Company or any of its affiliates involving misconduct or noncompliance by the Company, its affiliates or any of its present or former employees, provided, that, except where the matter involves misconduct on your part, the Company shall (i) promptly reimburse you for any reasonable out of pocket expenses that you shall incur in the course of such cooperation, and (ii) if reasonably requested by you to avoid a material conflict of interest, promptly reimburse you for any reasonable attorney’s fees for independent legal counsel selected by you to represent you in connection with any such matter.

 

The Company will reimburse you for your legal fees in connection with the review and negotiation of this and other agreements, including review of the plan documents, up to a maximum of $2,000.

 

Severance

 

If your employment by the Company (or its successor(s)) is involuntarily terminated without “Cause” or you resign for “Good Reason,” then the Company shall pay to you, within ten (10) days following the effective date of your termination, one hundred percent (100%) of your annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of termination plus a pro rata portion of your bonus under the incentive Plan (based on year-to-date results through the most recently completed calendar month, and pro rated based on your termination date). Severance payments, including payment of the special, one time bonus payments following your termination, if applicable, are subject to the execution by you of a termination agreement to be agreed upon between you and the Company, which would include execution of a General Waiver and Release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, as the same may be modified by the Company in its reasonable discretion.

2.I agree to assign to PAHC, its successors and assigns, all right, title and interest to each and every Invention, whether or not such Invention is a “work for hire” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. I understand and agree that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market any Invention developed by me solely or jointly with others is within PAHC’s sole discretion and for PAHC’s sole benefit and that no royalty will be due to me as a result of PAHC’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Invention.
