Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported on a current report on Form 8-K dated August 1,
2005, the Company agreed to employment agreement terms with each of Philip
Payne, chairman of the board, Scott Wilkerson, president and chief executive
officer, Pam Bruno, vice president, treasurer and chief financial officer, and
Eric Rohm, vice president and general counsel.
On November 11, 2005, definitive employment agreements were executed to
document the terms of the employment agreements and related restricted stock
grants. In addition to the other compensation previously described in the
original current report on Form 8-K, upon termination of an executive's
employment by the Company without cause or by the executive for good reason (as
those terms are defined in the respective employment agreements):
o any unvested Company stock options and unvested shares of restricted
stock (including those granted in connection with the executive's
employment agreement) that would have vested during the remainder of
the executive's employment term (generally, 3 years for Messrs. Payne
and Wilkerson and 1 year for Ms. Bruno and Mr. Rohm) will vest; and
o the executive will receive cash payments during the applicable
employment term equal to any dividend declared during that period on
any shares of restricted stock that the executive forfeited as a result
of his or her termination.
In addition to other compensation previously described, upon a change in control
or termination of an executive's employment without cause in contemplation of a
change in control, the executive is entitled to a lump sum cash payment equal to
the sum of each Special Dividend Amount (as defined below) with respect to any
Special Dividend (as defined below) paid while the executive is employed under
the agreement and before a change in control.
A Special Dividend shall mean a dividend that (i) exceeds previous
customary amounts, (ii) exceeds cash flow from operations for the period and
(iii) follows a significant asset disposition or refinancing. The Special
Dividend Amount shall be the product of (x) the per share amount of a Special
Dividend designated as being in excess of an ordinary dividend and as being
related to proceeds from a significant asset disposition or refinancing and (y)
the number of shares of restricted stock held by the executive. The designation
referred to in the preceding sentence shall be made at the time of a Special
Dividend declaration and shall be made by the non-management members of the
Board of Directors of the Company. Such designation shall be in the sole
discretion of the non-management members of the Board of Directors of the
Company so long as they determine the amount in good faith.
