Change in Directors or Principal Officers
On December 19, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amended Employment Agreement for Roger L. Fix, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Fix's existing agreement, dated April 1, 2003, was amended primarily to conform its provisions to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Agreement was also amended to clarify that it would continue in effect until either party terminated it, which can be done upon giving thirty (30) days' notice to the other party.
To insure compliance with Section 409A, the agreement was amended to provide
that the portion of severance paid to Mr. Fix upon an involuntary termination of
his employment without "cause," as defined in the agreement, or following his
becoming disabled, that exceeds twice the maximum amount recognized under
Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code would be paid in a lump sum
within five (5) days after termination.
The agreement also clarifies and better defines for Section 409A purposes the
situations in which Mr. Fix can resign his employment under Section 15.A.(ii) of
the agreement following a change in control and receive the compensation and
benefits provided if he were to be involuntarily terminated following a change
in control. In addition, the agreement has been amended so that medical and
life insurance benefits continued upon termination following a change in control
and any reimbursement of tax gross-up payments are made in compliance with the
requirements of Section 409A. None of the amendments made to comply with
Section 409A increase the benefits payable to Mr. Fix or liberalize the
circumstances in which he can receive them.
