Exhibit 10.1
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENT
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AND
CONSULTING AGREEMENT, dated as of February 9, 1999, by and between U.S. Home
Corporation (the "Company"), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Executive").
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive are parties to an
Amended and Restated Employment and Consulting Agreement, dated as of October
17, 1995, as amended by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment
and Consulting Agreement, dated as of February 11, 1997 (collectively, the
"Agreement").
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend and
restate the Agreement as hereinafter provided.
WHEREAS, Section 7(c) of the Agreement permits such amendment
by written agreement of both parties.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Executive agree to amend
and restate the Agreement as follows:
1. Employment and Duties. The Company shall employ the
Executive, and the Executive shall be employed by the Company, as Chairman and
Co-Chief Executive Officer, at the Company's headquarters in Houston, Texas (or
such other location as shall be mutually satisfactory to the Executive and the
Company) for the term of this Agreement. In these capacities, the Executive
shall devote substantially all of his business time and energies to the
1
2
business of the Company and shall perform such services as shall from time to
time be assigned to him by the Board of Directors of the Company.
2. Term. The term of the Executive's employment hereunder
shall continue until June 20, 2001; provided, however, that, unless either party
otherwise elects by notice in writing delivered to the other at least 90 days
prior to June 20, 1999, or any subsequent anniversary of June 20, 1999, such
term shall be automatically extended for one additional year on June 20, 1999
(e.g., to June 20, 2002) and each subsequent anniversary thereof, unless sooner
terminated by the Executive's voluntary resignation or otherwise terminated
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the "Employment Term").
3. Compensation and Benefits.
(a) Compensation. During each calendar year of the
Employment Term, the Company shall pay the Executive: (i) a base salary at a
rate of $600,000 per year (the "Base Salary"), payable in substantially equal
biweekly installments, and (ii) any cash bonus to which he is entitled pursuant
to the provisions of Appendix A hereto, payable as promptly as practicable after
the end of each such calendar year, but in any event by April 15 of the
following year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive's applicable
employee remuneration (as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) for any taxable year would exceed the higher
of $1 million or the maximum amount deductible by the Company under Section
162(m) for such taxable year, the amount otherwise payable shall be reduced to
the higher of $1 million or the maximum amount deductible under Section 162(m)
and the excess shall be deferred until the expiration of the Employment Term and
shall be payable in a cash lump sum on April 16 of the first year of the
Consultation Period. The deferred
2
3
compensation shall accrue interest at the same rate charged the Company from
time to time under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of
September 11, 1998, among the Company, the First National Bank of Chicago, as
agent, and certain lenders named therein, as amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, or any successor facility. The Executive's
Base Salary and bonus shall be reviewed at least annually by the Board of
Directors of the Company, or pursuant to its delegation, and (i) at a minimum,
the Board shall increase the Base Salary annually commencing with the 2000
calendar year by an amount determined by multiplying the current Base Salary by
the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index -- U.S. City Average
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of
Labor (or if that Index is no longer published by any substantially equivalent
successor thereto)(the "Consumer Price Index") in the preceding calendar year,
and (ii) the Board may increase the bonus from time to time.
(b) Stock Options. On October 17, 1995, the Executive
was granted an option (the "Option") to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), pursuant to the
Company's 1993 Employee's Stock Option Plan. Such Option shall be an "incentive
stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code to the extent
permitted by Section 422(d) of the Code; to the extent not permitted by Section
422(d), the remaining portion of the Option shall be a nonqualified stock
option. The Option shall be for a term of ten years from, and shall be
exercisable immediately at the fair market value of the Common Stock on, the
date of grant.
3
4
(c) Retirement Benefit.
(i) In consideration of the Executive's past
services to the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to a retirement
benefit, payable monthly for his life, in an amount equal to 60 percent of his
highest monthly Base Salary during the Employment Term. Such payments shall
commence on the first day of the month coincident with or next following the
later of the Executive's attainment of age 58 or the end of the Employment Term
(the "Commencement Date"); provided, however, that if the Employment Term
terminates prior to his attainment of age 58, the Executive may elect by written
notice to the Company to have such payments commence on the first day of any
month after such termination of employment (the "Early Commencement Date") in a
monthly amount equal to the monthly amount that the Executive would have
received at the Commencement Date, reduced by one-third of one percent (.33%)
per month for each month by which the Early Commencement Date precedes the
Commencement Date. The amount of each payment hereunder shall be increased on
each January 1 following the Early Commencement Date or Commencement Date, as
applicable, by an amount determined by multiplying the amount of each monthly
payment made in the preceding year by the percentage increase, if any, in the
cost of living from the preceding January 1, as reflected by the Consumer Price
Index. The Executive's election to have his retirement benefit payments commence
on the Early Commencement Date shall not affect the Company's obligation to pay
consulting fees to the Executive in accordance with Section 4 hereof.
The retirement benefit shall be an
unconditional, but unsecured, general credit obligation of the Company to the
Executive, and nothing contained in this
4
5
Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to it, shall create or be construed to
create a trust of any kind between the Company and the Executive. The Executive
shall have no right, title or interest whatever in or to any investments which
the Company may make (including, but not limited to, an insurance policy on the
life of the Executive) to aid it in meeting its obligations hereunder.
(ii) From time to time, the Company shall
make such contributions to the trust established under the Trust Agreement dated
as of December 18, 1986 (the "1986 Trust") between the Company, as grantor, and
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as successor trustee, to provide a sufficient reserve for
the discharge of its obligation to pay the retirement benefit to the Executive
as provided in clause (i) of this Section 3(c) and clauses (ii) and (iii) of
Section 5(a) hereof.
(d) Expense Reimbursement. The Company shall promptly
pay, or reimburse the Executive for, all ordinary and necessary business
expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties hereunder, provided
that the Executive properly accounts for them in accordance with Company policy.
(e) Other Benefit Plans, Fringe Benefits, and
Vacations.
(i) The Executive shall be eligible to
participate in each of the Company's present employee benefit plans, policies or
arrangements and any such plans, policies or arrangements that the Company may
maintain or establish during the Employment Term and receive all fringe benefits
and vacations for which his position makes him eligible in accordance with the
Company's usual policies and the terms and provisions of such plans, policies or
arrangements.
(ii) The Company shall not terminate or
change, in such a way as to adversely affect the Executive's rights or reduce
his benefits, any employee benefit plan, policy
5
6
or arrangement now in effect or which may hereafter be established and in which
the Executive is eligible to participate, including, without limitation, the
Company's profit sharing, life insurance, disability and stock option plans,
unless a plan, policy or arrangement providing the Executive with at least
equivalent rights and benefits has been established.
(iii) From and after the last day of the
Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in each of the
Company's employee benefit plans, policies or arrangements which provide medical
coverage and similar benefits to the Company's executive officers (the "Company
Medical Plan") on the same basis as the Company's other executive officers. The
Company shall bear the cost of medical coverage and benefits during the Consul
tation Period (as defined below); thereafter, the Executive shall bear such
cost. After the Executive is eligible for Medicare and the Company becomes a
secondary payor (or its equivalent) pursuant to Medicare or other applicable
law, the Company shall provide secondary medical coverage and benefits. If
continued coverage under the Company Medical Plan is not possible under the
terms of any insurance policy or applicable law following the Employment Term,
the Company shall provide the Executive with coverage equivalent to that
provided to the Company's other executive officers under a policy or arrangement
acceptable to the Executive. In the event of the Executive's death before the
end of the Consultation Period, the Company shall continue to provide such
primary and secondary medical coverage, as applicable, and benefits to the
Executive's spouse and dependents for the remainder of the Consultation Period
on the same basis as provided to the Company's other executive officers.
4. Consultation Period. From and after the last day of the
Employment Term and for a period of five years thereafter (the "Consultation
Period"), the Executive shall serve as
6
7
a consultant to the Company with respect to such business matters and at such
times (not more than four days per month and not more than two consecutive days
per week) as the Company may reasonably request within ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Texas;
provided, however, that if the Consultant does not reside in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, he
may perform his consulting duties hereunder at his then place of residence and
shall be required to come to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County not more than one day in each
calendar month. During the Consultation Period, the Company shall pay the
Executive (in addition to any other amounts to which he is entitled pursuant to
this Agreement) a consulting fee, in substantially equal biweekly installments,
at the rate of $139,854 per year increased by an amount determined by
multiplying $139,854 by the percentage increase, if any, in the cost of living
between January 1, 1995 and the January 1 immediately preceding the date of
commencement of the Consultation Period, as reflected by the Consumer Price
Index. The amount of the consulting fee shall be increased on each January 1
during the Consultation Period by an amount determined by multiplying the amount
of the consulting fee paid in the preceding year by the percentage increase, if
any, in the cost of living from the preceding January 1, as reflected by the
Consumer Price Index. During the Consultation Period, the Executive shall be
reimbursed up to an amount not to exceed $50,000 during each year of the
Consultation Period for any expenses incurred by the Executive for (i) the
maintenance of an office that shall be located other than at the Company's
offices and (ii) secretarial and transportation assistance, such expenses to be
billed and paid monthly. During the Consultation Period, the Executive shall not
be required to undertake any assignment inconsistent with the dignity,
importance and scope of his prior positions or with his physical and mental
health at the time. It is expressly understood between the parties that during
the Consultation Period, the Executive shall be an independent
7
8
contractor and shall not be subject to the direction, control, or supervision of
the Company. The provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof shall continue to
apply to the Executive during the Consultation Period.
5. Termination.
(a) Death and Disability.
(i) The Executive's employment hereunder
shall terminate upon his death or upon his becoming Totally Disabled. For
purposes of this Agreement, the Executive shall be "Totally Disabled" if he is
physically or mentally incapacitated so as to render him incapable of performing
his usual and customary duties as an executive (for the Company or otherwise).
The Executive's receipt of Social Security disability benefits shall be deemed
conclusive evidence of Total Disability for purposes of this Agreement;
provided, however, that in the absence of his receipt of such Social Security
benefits, the Board of Directors of the Company may, in its sole discretion, but
based upon appropriate medical evidence, determine that the Executive is Totally
Disabled.
(ii) In the event that the Executive is
Totally Disabled before his retirement benefit pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof
has commenced to be distributed (whether or not he is in the employ of the
Company at the time he is so Totally Disabled), such benefit shall commence to
be distributed to him on the first day of the month next following his Total
Disability, as if such payments had commenced at his Commencement Date.
(iii) In the event of the Executive's death
(while Totally Disabled or otherwise) after his retirement benefit has commenced
to be distributed pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof or subparagraph (ii) above, as
applicable, the Company shall continue to pay such
8
9
retirement benefit to his Beneficiary for her life. If the Executive's
retirement benefit pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof has not commenced to be
distributed on the date of his death, such benefit shall commence to be
distributed to his Beneficiary for her life on the first day of the month next
following his date of death, as if such payments had commenced at his
Commencement Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive's "Beneficiary"
shall be deemed to be his spouse; if his spouse predeceases him (or if he is not
married at the time of his death), his Beneficiary shall be deemed to be his
estate which shall receive, in lieu of the payments otherwise payable to the
Executive's spouse hereunder, a lump sum cash payment equal to the actuarial
present value (determined on the basis of a 6 percent per annum interest rate
assumption and no decrement for mortality) of the payments that would have been
made to a spouse for her life, assuming that such spouse was three years younger
than the Executive on his date of death. If the Executive predeceases his
spouse, upon her death, a lump sum cash payment equal to the amount of any cash
and present value of all property (including any annuity contracts) owned by the
1986 Trust as of the date of her death shall be paid by the Company to his
spouse's estate or any beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in her last will
and testament as soon as practicable after such calculation is completed. The
actuarial present value of any annuity contracts shall be calculated by the
insurance company that issued such contract or, if any such insurance company
cannot supply such present value, by an enrolled actuary.
(b) For Cause. The Executive's employment hereunder
may be terminated for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Cause"
shall mean (i) the Executive's continuing willful failure to perform his duties
hereunder (other than as a result of total or partial incapacity due to physical
or mental illness), (ii) gross negligence or malfeasance
9
10
by the Executive in the performance of his duties hereunder, (iii) an act or
acts on the Executive's part constituting a felony under the laws of the United
States or any state thereof which results or was intended to result directly or
indirectly in gain or personal enrichment by the Executive at the expense of the
Company, or (iv) breach of the provisions of Section 6(b) hereof.
(c) Without Cause. If the Executive's employment or
his retention as a consultant hereunder is terminated without Cause, as soon as
practicable (but not later than 30 days) after such termination, he shall
receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of: (i) an amount equal to his
highest monthly Base Salary during the Employment Term prior to such termination
multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Employment Term (but by not
less than thirty-six months if such termination occurs during the Employment
Term); (ii) if such termination occurs during the Employment Term, an amount
equal to the bonuses earned, including any amounts deferred, pursuant to Section
3(a)(ii) hereof and Appendix A hereto or otherwise, in respect of the most
recently completed three calendar years; (iii) an amount equal to the actuarial
present value (determined on the basis of a 6 percent per annum interest rate
assumption and no decrement for mortality) of the retirement benefit payments
payable to him under Section 3(c), commencing on the Commencement Date (or, if
such payments have commenced, such actuarial present value of the remaining
payments); and (iv) an amount equal to the consulting fees due him under Section
4 for the term or remainder of the Consultation Period. Notwithstanding the
previous sentence, the Executive shall have the option, exercisable by him by
notice to the Company at any time prior to receipt of the lump sum payment
provided in the previous sentence, to receive his retirement benefit payments
payable as set forth in Section 3(c) hereof in lieu of the lump sum payment set
forth in clause (iii) of the preceding
10
11
sentence. In addition to the foregoing benefits, if the Executive is terminated
without Cause, he shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement for expenses
and other benefits following termination of employment, in the amounts and in
the manner set forth in Sections 3(d), 3(e) and the fourth sentence of Section 4
hereof.
(d) Change in Control.
(i) If a Change in Control Event (as defined
in Appendix B hereto) occurs, the Executive shall (A) if he so elects by written
notice to the Company within 360 days after such Change in Control Event, be
entitled to terminate his employment, if not already terminated by the Company,
and, in either event, receive the amounts set forth in paragraph (c) above
(excluding the retirement benefit described in Section 5(c)(iii), which shall
instead be paid as set forth in Section 3(c) hereof, and excluding the
reimbursement for expenses and other benefits following termination of
employment under this Section, which shall instead be paid in the amounts and in
the manner set forth in Sections 3(d), 3(e) and the fourth sentence of Section 4
hereof) within the time period specified in subparagraph (iii) below, as if the
Company had terminated his employment without Cause, and (B) if he so elects by
written notice to the Company within 360 days after the occurrence of such
Change in Control Event, cause the Company to purchase the Executive's principal
residence at its fair market value. For purposes of this Agreement, such fair
market value shall be determined by two independent real estate firms, one of
which shall be selected by the Executive and one by the Company. If such real
estate firms fail to agree on such fair market value, the two firms so selected
shall select a third firm mutually acceptable to them and such third firm's
determination of fair market value shall be binding for all purposes.
11
12
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, if the aggregate amounts payable pursuant to subparagraph (i)
of paragraph (d) hereof would cause any payment under such subparagraph (i) to
be subject to an excise tax as an "excess parachute payment" under Section 4999
of the Code, such aggregate amounts payable hereunder shall be reduced by the
smallest amount necessary to ensure that no payment hereunder shall be so
treated under such Section 4999. Prior to effecting such reduction, the Company
shall give the Executive 30 days' written notice of the fact, amount and basis
of such reduction, as well as a determination of the shortest period of time
over which such aggregate amounts may be paid and not be treated as "excess
parachute payments." The Executive shall then have 30 days within which to elect
in writing to (A) receive a lump sum payment, reduced pursuant to the first
sentence hereof, or (B) receive the aggregate amounts payable pursuant to
subparagraph (i) hereof in annual installments over the time period set forth in
the Company's notice. In making the determinations called for in this
subparagraph (ii), the parties hereto shall rely conclusively on (1) the opinion
of ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or such other consulting firm as the Company shall designate
(with the written consent of the Executive) within one year of the date hereof
as to the amount of the Executive's compensation which constitutes "reasonable
compensation" for purposes of Section 280G of the Code, and (2) the opinion of
Kwasha Lipton, or such other actuarial firm as the Company shall designate (with
the written consent of the Executive) within one year of the date hereof as to
any present value calculations under Section 280G of the Code. The Company shall
bear all costs associated with obtaining such opinions.
(iii) The amounts payable pursuant to this
paragraph (d) shall be paid (or commence to be paid) to the Executive not later
than 10 days after he notifies the Company
12
13
under subparagraph (ii) above whether he wishes to receive such amounts in a
lump sum or in installments or, if no notice is given by the Company under
subparagraph (ii) above, within 30 days after the Executive gives notice to the
Company under subparagraph (i) above.
(iv) In addition to all other rights granted
him under this paragraph (d), if a Control Change (as defined in paragraph (c)
of Appendix B hereto) occurs, the Executive shall be entitled to elect to
terminate his employment with the Company upon written notice to the Company,
effective not more than 10 days after such election. In such event, (A) the
Consultation Period shall commence immediately upon termination of employment
and shall cease five years thereafter, (B) the Executive shall be entitled to
elect at any time to have payment of his retirement benefit commence on the
Early Commencement Date in an amount determined in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3(c) hereof, and (C) the Company shall promptly, but not
later than 10 days after such election, transfer sufficient assets to the 1986
Trust so that the assets of the 1986 Trust are then sufficient to discharge the
obligations for the consulting fees and retirement benefits due him in full.
6. Covenants.
(a) Confidentiality. The Executive acknowledges that
he has acquired and will acquire confidential information respecting the
business of the Company. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that, without the
written consent of the Company as authorized by its Board of Directors, he will
not, at any time, willfully disclose any such confidential information to any
unauthorized third party with an intent that such disclosure will result in
financial benefit to the Executive or to any person other than the Company. For
this purpose, information shall be
13
14
considered confidential only if such information is uniquely proprietary to the
Company and has not been made publicly available prior to its disclosure by the
Executive.
(b) Competitive Activity. Until the end of the
Consultation Period, the Executive shall not, without the consent of the Board
of Directors of the Company, directly or indirectly, knowingly engage or be
interested in (as owner, partner, shareholder, employee, director, officer,
agent, consultant or otherwise), with or without compensation, any business
which (i) is in competition with any line of business being actively conducted
by the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries during the Employment
Term or Consultation Period, or (ii) shall hire any person who was employed by
the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries within the six-month period
preceding such hiring, except for any employee whose annual rate of compensation
is not in excess of $55,000. Nothing herein, however, shall prohibit the
Executive from acquiring or holding not more than one percent of any class of
publicly traded securities of any such business.
(c) Remedy for Breach. The Executive acknowledges
that the provisions of this Section 6 are reasonable and necessary for the
protection of the Company and that the Company will be irrevocably damaged if
such covenants are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, the Executive agrees
that, in addition to any other relief to which the Company may be entitled, the
Company shall be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive relief (without the
requirement of any bond) from a court of competent jurisdiction for the purposes
of restraining the Executive from any actual or threatened breach of such
covenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of
this Section 6 shall cease to apply to the Executive if his employment hereunder
terminates without Cause or following a Change in Control Event. In
14
15
addition, in the event that the Executive breaches the provisions of this
Section 6 during the Consultation Period, the Company's sole remedy shall be to
terminate the Executive for Cause.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable
to agreements made and to be performed in that State.
(b) Notices. Any notice, consent or other
communication made or given in connection with this Agreement shall be in

States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the parties at
the following addresses or at such other address as a party may specify by

employment. It may not be amended except by a written agreement signed by both
parties.
15
16
(d) Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon
strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be
considered a waiver thereof or deprive that party of the right thereafter to
insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.
(e) Assignment. Except as otherwise provided in this
paragraph, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and
assigns. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Executive, and shall be
assignable by the Company only to any corporation or other entity resulting from
the reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with any other
corporation or entity or any corporation or entity to which the Company may sell
all or substantially all of its assets, and it must be so assigned by the
Company to, and accepted as binding upon it by, such other corporation or entity
in connection with any such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale.
(f) Litigation Costs. In the event that the Executive
shall successfully prosecute a judicial proceeding to enforce any provision of
this Agreement, in addition to any other relief awarded the Executive by the
court in such action, the parties agree that the judgment rendered shall award
the Executive all of his attorneys' fees, disbursements and other costs incurred
by the Executive in prosecuting such suit.
(g) Separability. If any provision of this Agreement
is invalid or unenforceable, the balance of the Agreement shall remain in
effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it
shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.
