EXHIBIT 10.3
AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT is made as of March 31, 2004 by and between
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇, INC., a Tennessee corporation (the "Company") and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Executive").
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to an Employment
Agreement dated as of June 1, 2002 (the "Employment Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, Section 7.4 of the Employment Agreement provides that the
Company and Executive may amend the Employment Agreement by mutual agreement in
writing; and
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive wish to make certain changes to
the Employment Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the mutual
promises contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, effective
January 1, 2003, the Employment Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
Section 3.2 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:
3.2 Annual Bonus. With respect to each fiscal year of the Company ending
during the Term, Executive will be eligible to receive an Annual Bonus.
The amount of such Annual Bonus, if any, payable with respect to a
particular year will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the
Board (the "Compensation Committee"), in its sole discretion. The
Compensation Committee may establish specific corporate or individual
performance goals, the achievement of which may trigger the payment of a
specific bonus amount, may award an Annual Bonus based simply on its
assessment of Executive's and/or the Company's performance during the
applicable year, or may award an Annual Bonus based on a combination of
subjective and objective factors. If deemed necessary or desirable by the
Compensation Committee, the payment of any Annual Bonus based upon the
achievement of performance criteria may be conditioned on the approval of
the Company's shareholders in accordance with Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and related regulations. In any case,
any Annual Bonus awarded by the Compensation Committee will be paid as
soon as practicable following the end of the applicable year.
The Employment Agreement, as amended by the foregoing changes, is
ratified and confirmed in all respects.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be
executed by its duly authorized officer and Executive has executed this
Amendment, in each case as of the date first written above.
