CHANGE IN CONTROL

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement between Joshua J. Izenberg ("you") and VERSAR, INC. ("Company") has been entered into as of September 11, 2012. This Agreement promises you severance benefits if, following a Change of Control, you are terminated without Cause or resign for Good Reason during the Term of this Agreement. Capitalized terms are defined in the last section of this Agreement.

 

1. Purpose

The Company considers a sound and vital management team to be essential. Management personnel who become concerned about the possibility that the Company may undergo a Change in Control may terminate employment or become distracted. Accordingly, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to minimize the distraction certain executives may suffer from the possibility of a Change in Control. One step is to enter into this Agreement with you while you hold the position as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. Once you no longer hold this position, except following or in connection with the triggering of severance benefits as set forth in Section 3 below, this Severance Agreement shall immediately terminate and be null and void as set forth in Section 20q hereof.

 

2. Your Agreement

If one or more Potential Changes in Control occur during the Term of this Agreement, you agree not to resign for at least six full calendar months after a Potential Change in Control occurs, except as follows: (a) you may resign after a Change in Control occurs; (b) you may resign if you are given Good Reason to do so; and (c) you may terminate employment on account of retirement on or after age 65 or because you become unable to work due to serious illness or injury.

 

3. Events That Trigger Severance Benefits

 

a. Termination After a Change in Control

You will receive Severance Benefits under this Agreement if, during the Term of this Agreement and after a Change in Control has occurred, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than on account of your Disability or death) or you resign for Good Reason.

 

b. Termination After a Potential Change in Control

You also will receive Severance Benefits under this Agreement if, during the Term of this Agreement and after a Potential Change in Control has occurred but before a Change in Control actually occurs, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or you resign for Good Reason, but only if either: (i) you are terminated at the direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company that will result in a Change in Control; or (ii) the event constituting Good Reason occurs at the direction of such Person.

c. Successor Fails to Assume This Agreement

You also will receive Severance Benefits under this Agreement if, during the Term of this Agreement, a successor to the Company fails to assume this Agreement, as provided in Section 12(a).

 

4. Events That Do Not Trigger Severance Benefits

You will not be entitled to Severance Benefits if your employment ends because you are terminated for Cause or on account of Disability or because you resign without Good Reason, retire, or die. Except as provided in Section 3(c), you will not be entitled to Severance Benefits while you remain protected by this Agreement and remain employed by the Company, its affiliates, or their successors.

 

5. Termination Procedures

If you are terminated by the Company after a Change in Control and during the Term of this Agreement, the Company shall provide you with 30 days' advance written notice of your termination, unless you are being terminated for Cause. The notice will indicate why you are being terminated and will set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for your termination. If you are being terminated for Cause, your notice of termination will include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than 51 % of the entire membership of the Board (at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose of considering your termination (after reasonable notice to you and an opportunity for you and your counsel to be heard before the Board)) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, Cause for your termination exists and specifying the basis for that opinion in detail. If you are purportedly terminated without the notice required by this Section, your termination shall not be effective.

 

6. Severance Benefits

 

a. In General

If you become entitled to Severance Benefits under this Agreement, you will receive all of the Severance Benefits described in this Section.

 

b. Lump-Sum Payment in Lieu of Future Compensation

In lieu of any further cash compensation for periods after your employment ends, other than cash compensation paid pursuant to any agreement governing the terms of a Change in Control payable to all similarly situated persons, you will be paid a cash lump sum equal to 2 times your annual base salary in effect when your employment ends or, if higher, in effect immediately before the Change in Control, Potential Change in Control, or Good Reason event for which you terminate employment. In addition, and without duplication, you will be paid a cash lump sum equal to 2 times the higher of the amounts paid to you (if any) under any existing bonus or incentive plans in the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which your employment ends or in the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurred (or in which the Potential Change in Control occurred, if benefits are payable under Section 3(b) hereof).

c. Incentive Compensation and Options

The Company will pay you a cash lump sum equal to any unpaid incentive compensation (that is not otherwise paid to you) that you have been allocated or awarded under any existing bonus or incentive plans for measuring periods completed before you became entitled to Severance Benefits under this Agreement.

7. Time for Payment

Subject to the provisions of Section 21 hereof, you will be paid your cash Severance Benefits within five days after you become entitled to Severance Benefits under this Agreement (e.g., within five days following your termination of employment). If the amount you are due cannot be finally determined within that period, you will receive the minimum amount to which you are clearly entitled, as estimated in good faith by the Company. The Company will pay the balance you are due (together with interest at the rate provided in Internal Revenue Code Section 1274(b) (2) (B)) as soon as the amount can be determined, but in no event later than 30 days after you terminate employment. If your estimated payment exceeds the amount you are due, the excess will be a loan to you, which you must repay to the Company within five business days after demand by the Company (together with interest at the rate provided in Code Section 1274(b)(2)(B)). In no event will any cash Severance Benefits be paid to you later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you become entitled to such Severance Benefits.

 

8. Payment Explanation

When payments are made to you, the Company will provide you with a written statement explaining how your payments were calculated and the basis for the calculations. This statement will include any opinions or other advice the Company has received from auditors or consultants as to the calculation of your benefits. If your benefit is affected by the golden parachute limitation in Section 9, the Company will provide you with calculations relating to that limitation and any supporting materials you reasonably need to permit you to evaluate those calculations.

 

9. Potential Limitations

 

a. Golden Parachute Limitation

Your aggregate payments and benefits under this Agreement and all other contracts, arrangements, or programs shall not exceed the maximum amount that may be paid without triggering golden parachute penalties under Section 280G and related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as determined in good faith by the Company's independent auditors. The preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent the shareholder approval requirements of Code Section 280G (b) (5) are satisfied. If your benefits must be reduced to avoid triggering such penalties, the Company shall reduce your benefits that are not considered deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A before it reduces any benefits that are considered deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A. If an amount in excess of the limit set forth in this Section is paid to you, you must repay the excess amount to the Company on demand, with interest at the rate provided in Code Section 1274(b)(2)(B). You and the Company agree to cooperate with each other reasonably in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of golden parachute penalties on payments or benefits you receive.

 

b. Section 162(m) Limitation

To the extent payments or benefits under this Agreement would not be deductible under Code Section 162(m) if made or provided when otherwise due under this Agreement, they shall be made or provided later, immediately after Section 162(m) ceases to preclude their deduction, with interest thereon at the rate provided in Code Section 1274(b)(2)(B).

10. Disability

Following a Change in Control, while you are absent from work as a result of physical or mental illness, the Company will continue to pay you your full salary and provide you all other compensation and benefits payable to you under the Company's compensation or benefit plans, programs, or arrangements. These payments will stop if and when your employment is terminated by the Company for Disability as described in Section 20(h) hereof or at the end of the Term of this Agreement, whichever is earlier. Severance Benefits under this Agreement are not payable if you are terminated on account of your Disability.

 

11. Effect of Reemployment

Your Severance Benefits will not be reduced by any other compensation you earn or could have earned from another source.

 

12. Successors

 

a. Assumption Required

If the Company fails to obtain such an assumption and agreement before the effective date of a succession, you will be entitled to Severance Benefits as if you were terminated by the Company without Cause on the effective date of that succession.

 

b. Heirs and Assigns

This Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, your personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees.

13. Amendments

This Agreement may be modified only by a written agreement executed by you and an authorized officer of the Company.

 

14. Governing Law

This Agreement creates a "top hat" employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and it shall be interpreted, administered, and enforced in accordance with that law; the Company is the "plan administrator." To the extent that state law is applicable, the statutes and common law of the State of Virginia (excluding its choice of laws statutes or common law) shall apply.

 

15. Claims

 

a. When Required; Attorneys' Fees

b. Initial Claim

Your claim must be presented to the Company in writing. Within 30 days after receiving the claim, a claims official appointed by the Company will consider your claim and issue his or her determination thereon in writing. With your consent, the initial claim determination period can be extended further. If you can establish that the claims official failed to respond to your claim in a timely manner, you may treat the claim as having been denied by the claims official.

 

c. Claim Decision

d. Appeal of Denied Claims

You must appeal a denied claim within five days after your receipt of written notice denying your claim, or within 60 days after such written notice was due, if the written notice was not sent. In connection with the appeals proceeding, you (or your duly authorized representative) may review pertinent documents and may submit issues and comments in writing. You may only present evidence and theories during the appeal that you presented during the initial claims stage, except for information the claims official requested you to provide to perfect the claim. You will irrevocably waive any theories you do not in good faith pursue through the appeal stage, such as by failing to file a timely appeal request.

 

e. Appeal Decision

The decision by the appeals official will be made within 60 days after your appeal request, unless special circumstances require an extension of time, in which case the decision will be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than ten days after your appeal request, unless you agree to a greater extension of that deadline. The appeal decision will be in writing, set forth in a manner calculated to be understood by you; it will include specific reasons for the decision, as well as specific references to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement on which the decision is based.

f. Procedures

The Company will adopt procedures by which initial claims and appeals will be considered and resolved; different procedures may be established for different claims. All procedures will be designed to afford you full and fair consideration of your claim.

 

g. Arbitration

In the event that any dispute arises, following satisfaction of the claim procedures outlined in this Section 15, related to the validity, interpretation, enforcement or performance of this Agreement, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the Employment Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The aggrieved party must give written notice of any claim to the other party no later than the expiration of the statute of limitations (deadline for filing) that the law prescribes for the claim. Otherwise, the claim shall be void and deemed waived. The arbitrator may award any remedy that would otherwise be available to a court of competent jurisdiction. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and shall be fully enforceable in any court having jurisdiction and venue over the parties. The arbitrator shall have no power to alter, modify, ignore, or otherwise deviate from the express terms of this Agreement, and the arbitrator shall be bound by controlling law. The arbitrator’s decision shall be provided to the parties in writing and shall succinctly set forth the arbitrator’s findings of fact, conclusions of law, and remedy, if any. The cost of such arbitration shall be paid by the Company, except you shall pay an administrative fee equivalent to the filing fee to initiate a similar claim in the local court of general jurisdiction if you are the party initiating the claim. The parties hereto agree that any action to compel arbitration pursuant to this Agreement may be brought in the appropriate Virginia state court, and in connection with such action to compel, the laws of Virginia shall control. Application may also be made to such court for confirmation of any decision or award of the arbitrator, for an order of enforcement and for any other remedies which may be necessary to effectuate such decision or award. The parties hereto hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and of such court and waive any objection to the jurisdiction of such arbitrator and court.

 

16. Limitation on Employee Rights

This Agreement does not give you the right to be retained in the service of the Company.

 

17. Validity

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

At no time shall the Outstanding Letter of Credit Balance exceed the lesser of (i) $5,000,000.00 and (ii) Commitment minus the outstanding principal balance of Advances at such time (the “Letter of Credit Commitment”). Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term not to exceed one (1) year, although any Letter of Credit may be automatically renewed in accordance with the terms and conditions of said Letter of Credit and the related Application. A Letter of Credit may be denominated only in U.S. Dollars. Each draft paid by the Bank under a Letter of Credit shall, if such amount is available under the Letter of Credit Commitment, be deemed an Advance and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable under the Note. To the extent the amount of a draft paid by the Bank as aforesaid is unavailable under the Letter of Credit Commitment, said amount shall be payable by the Borrower ON DEMAND and until paid in full shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable under the Note. Subject to the foregoing, the Borrower may borrow under this Section II(F)(1), prepay and re-borrow.

(2)         Upon the termination of the Commitment for any reason whatsoever, or upon the occurrence of a Default, the Bank may, at its option, demand that the Borrower, within ten (10) days of such demand, arrange for the cancellation of any or all of the Letters of Credit such that the Bank has no further liability under said Letters of Credit, or in the event the Borrower fails to procure the cancellation of either Letter of Credit within such ten (10) day period, demand that the Borrower pay to the Bank, as cash collateral, the remaining amount available to be drawn, if any, under said Letter of Credit and such amount shall thereupon become immediately due and payable. In the event the Borrower pays to the Bank or the Bank collects from the Borrower sums representing the remaining amount available to be drawn under said Letter of Credit, the Bank shall hold such sums in a non-interest-bearing account as security for the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Bank for amounts paid by the Bank under said Letter of Credit or otherwise due hereunder. Upon the expiration of said Letter of Credit and the Bank's reasonable determination that it has no further liability thereunder, the Bank shall repay such sums to the Borrower to the extent they exceed the remaining amounts actually paid by the Bank under said Letter of Credit. The Bank's rights under this Section II(F) are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Bank may have.

(E)          Validity, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests .

 

(1)         By complying with Section VI(B)(1), the Borrower will have created a valid security interest in favor of the Bank in all existing Collateral and in all identifiable Proceeds of such Collateral, which security interest (except in respect of motor vehicles for which the exclusive manner of perfecting a security interest therein is by noting such security interest on the certificate of title in accordance with local law) would be prior to the claims of a trustee in bankruptcy under Section 544(a) of the federal Bankruptcy Code.

Other than financing statements or other similar documents perfecting the security interests of the Bank, no financing statements or similar documents covering all or any part of the Collateral are on file or of record in any government office in any jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect a security interest in such Collateral, nor is any of the Collateral in the possession of any person (other than the Borrower) asserting any claim thereto or security interest therein.

Appendix 1 hereto correctly sets forth each Borrower’s current chief executive office, any and all chief executive offices of said Borrower within the previous four (4) months, all other places of business of said Borrower and the offices of said Borrower where records concerning Receivables and Other Intangibles are kept.

Except as otherwise specified in Appendix 2 hereto , all Inventory and Equipment has been located at the address specified on said Appendix 2 at all times during the four-month period prior to the date hereof while owned by said Borrower. All Inventory has been and will be produced in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201-219.

(2)         Unless the Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market, the Bank shall give the Borrower five (5) days' written notice of its intention to make any such public or private sale or sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange. Such notice shall (a) in the case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (b) in the case of a sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or any portion thereof being sold, will first be offered for sale and (c) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated. The Bank shall not be required or obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Bank may adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral for credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Bank until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Bank shall not incur any liability in case of failure of such purchaser to pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice.

(E)          Rights of Purchasers . Upon any sale of the Collateral (whether public or private), the Bank shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser (including the Bank) at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold free from any claim or right of whatever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of the Borrower, and the Borrower, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption and any right to a judicial or other stay or approval which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted.

 

(F)          Additional Rights of the Bank .

 

(1)         The Bank shall have the right and power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem appropriate to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement and may proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity to enforce such rights and to foreclose upon and sell the Collateral or any part thereof pursuant to the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(2)         The Bank shall, to the extent permitted by law and without regard to the solvency or insolvency at the time of any Person then liable for the payment of any of the Obligations or the then value of the Collateral, and without requiring any bond from any party to such proceedings, be entitled to the appointment of a special receiver or receivers (who may be the Bank) for the Collateral or any part thereof and for the rents, issues, tolls, profits, royalties, revenues and other income therefrom, which receiver shall have such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and to the entry of an order directing that the rents, issues, tolls, profits, royalties, revenues and other income of the property constituting the whole or any part of the Collateral be segregated, sequestered and impounded for the benefit of the Bank, and the Borrower irrevocably consents to the appointment of such receiver or receivers and to the entry of such order.

 

(G)          Remedies Not Exclusive .

 

(1)         No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Bank in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, but every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute.

 

(2)         If the Bank shall have proceeded to enforce any right, remedy or power under this Agreement and the proceeding for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Bank, the Borrower and the Bank shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, severally and respectively be restored to their former positions and rights under this Agreement, and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Bank shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

 

(3)         All rights of action under this Agreement may be enforced by the Bank without the possession of any instrument evidencing any Obligation or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any suit or proceeding instituted by the Bank shall be brought in its name and any judgment shall be held as part of the Collateral.

(H)          Waiver and Estoppel .

 

(1)         The Borrower, to the extent it may lawfully do so, agrees that it will not at any time in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium, turnover or redemption law, or any law now or hereafter in force permitting it to direct the order in which the Collateral shall be sold which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this Agreement and the Borrower hereby waives the benefits or advantage of all such laws, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Bank in this Agreement but will permit the execution of every such power as though no such law were in force; provided that nothing contained in this subsection (H) shall be construed as a waiver of any rights of the Borrower under any applicable federal bankruptcy law.

 

(2)         The Borrower, to the extent it may lawfully do so, on behalf of itself and all who may claim through or under it, including without limitation any and all subsequent creditors, vendees, assignees and lienors, waives and releases all rights to demand or to have any marshalling of the Collateral upon any sale, whether made under any power of sale granted herein or pursuant to judicial proceedings or upon any foreclosure or any enforcement of this Agreement and consents and agrees that all the Collateral may at any such sale be offered and sold as an entirety.

 

(3)         The Borrower, to the extent it may lawfully do so, waives presentment, demand, protest and any notice of any kind (except notices explicitly required hereunder) in connection with this Agreement and any action taken by the Bank with respect to the Collateral.

COMMERCIAL NOTE

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE

 

THIS INSTRUMENT CONTAINS A CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT PROVISION WHICH
CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF IMPORTANT RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE AS A DEBTOR AND
ALLOWS THE CREDITOR TO OBTAIN A JUDGMENT AGAINST YOU WITHOUT ANY
FURTHER NOTICE.

 

$15,000,000.00   September 13, 2012

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on or before September 13, 2014 (hereinafter called "Date of Maturity") the undersigned (individually and collectively, the "Borrower") jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of UNITED BANK (the "Bank," which term shall include any holder of this Note) without offset, at the Bank's office located at 2071 Chain Bridge Road, Vienna, Virginia 22182 (or at such other address as the Bank shall designate), the principal sum of Fifteen Million and no/100 Dollars ($15.000,000.00) (hereinafter called "Principal Sum"), or so much of that sum as the Bank may advance, together with interest on the principal balance outstanding from time to time at the rate provided in this Note.

 

This Note is an amendment and restatement of, and replaces, that certain Revolving Commercial Note dated September 26, 2003, in the original principal amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), made by the Borrower payable to the order of the Bank, and increased to $15,000,000.00 and otherwise modified by that certain First Modification Agreement dated as of May 12, 2004, that certain Third Modification Agreement dated as of November 30, 2005 (a second modification having been drafted but never executed and delivered), that certain Fourth Modification Agreement dated as of September 28, 2006, that certain Fifth Modification Agreement dated as of September 24, 2007, that certain Sixth Modification Agreement dated September 30, 2009, that certain Seventh Modification Agreement dated January 5, 2010, that certain Eighth Modification Agreement dated March 17, 2010, that certain Ninth Modification Agreement dated as of September 30, 2010, that certain Tenth Modification Agreement dated as of September 25, 2011, and that certain eleventh Modification Agreement dated as of October 25, 2011, the obligations of the Borrower under which are suspended.

 

This Note is the “Note” referenced in the Loan Agreement. Reference is hereby made to the Loan Agreement for provisions of this Note with respect to conditions for advances, remedies on Default, and other terms.

 

INTEREST RATE. This Note shall bear interest on the principal balance outstanding from time to time, from the date of this Note until paid in full, a variable rate per annum equal, at all times, to the Prime Rate minus one-half of one percent (0.50%); provided , however, that at no time shall the interest rate on the Note be less than three and one-half percent (3.50%) per annum. The "Prime Rate" shall mean that variable rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time as the domestic prime rate under the heading "Money Rates". If The Wall Street Journal shall cease to publish the Prime Rate, the term “Prime Rate” shall thereafter mean the rate announced from time to time by the Bank as its prime rate of interest and evidenced by a certificate signed by any officer of the Bank setting forth said prime rate of interest in effect on any given date, whether or not such rate is otherwise published or announced. The Prime Rate is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by the Bank to borrowers. Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, for the actual number of days elapsed.

(a)          the failure to make any payment of principal, interest or any other amount due under this Note when such payment is due;

 

(b)          any default under the terms of any of the Loan Documents, or the failure to perform or observe any warranty, covenant, or other condition of any of the Loan Documents; and the failure to cure said event or condition within 20 calendar days after the earlier to occur of (i) the date of notice thereof to the Borrower, and (ii) the date notice thereof should have been given to the Bank pursuant to Section VI(C)(1)(c) of the Loan Agreement.
