Exhibit 10.3

 

  EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This AGREEMENT (this " Agreement ") is made as of the____ day of October, 2013 (the "Effective Date"), by and between TIGRENT INC., a Colorado corporation, with an address of 1612 E. Cape Coral Parkway, Cape Coral, FL 33904 (the "Company")  and ANTHONY C. HUMPAGE, an individual residing at _________________       (the " Executive ").

 

WHEREAS Executive was engaged by the Company as Chief Executive Officer commencing September 1, 2012 (the "Start Date"); and

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ Executive in the capacity of Chief Executive Officer; and

 

WHEREAS Executive is willing to continue make his services available to the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby conclusively acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follow:

 

1.              Term . The Company hereby employs Executive as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Executive agrees to serve the Company as such upon the terms and conditions hereof commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until terminated by either the Company or Executive subject to and in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement (the "Term").

 

2.              Duties .

                 

(a)             Executive shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall report directly to the Board of Directors thereof (the "Board"). Executive shall also serve on the Board without additional compensation. Executive shall also, if requested by the Board, serve as an executive officer of any Company subsidiary or joint venture company and/or as a fiduciary of any Company, subsidiary or joint venture company benefit plan(s).

 

(b)              Executive shall have such duties and responsibilities as are customary for Executive's position and any other duties or responsibilities that may be assigned or delegated to him from time to time. Executive agrees that he will use his best efforts to fulfill his duty of loyalty and care to the Company and to promote the business and interests of the Company above all others and that he will not engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business or occupation during the Employment Term, except as expressly permitted by the Board. It is understood, however, that the foregoing will not prohibit Executive from (i) devoting reasonably limited time to charitable activities and personal investment activities for himself and his family that do not interfere materially with the performance of his duties hereunder or (ii) serving on the board(s) of any other corporate, civic or charitable organizations so long as such service is not inconsistent with his fiduciary obligations to the Company or otherwise conflicts with his obligations under the Covenant Agreement.

 

 

 

3.              Compensation.

 

(a)                Base Annual Salary. The Company will pay Executive for all services to be rendered by Executive hereunder (including and without limitation, all services to be rendered by him as an officer and/or director of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates) a base annual salary (the "Base Annual Salary" ), payable at least bi-weekly or otherwise in accordance with customary payroll practices for senior executives of the Company. The initial Base Annual Salary is Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00). On or about each anniversary of the Contract Start Date, the Board may review the Base Annual Salary with Executive, and the Base Annual Salary may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the Employment Term.

 

(b)              Incentive Compensation. Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus ("Annual Bonus") and other long term incentive compensation, which are intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), under such executive bonus plans and long term incentive plans as may be established by the Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans. The Annual Bonus will be based on the achievement of Company and individual performance goals to be established by the Compensation Committee, with annual target incentive bonuses of 100% of the Base Annual Salary.

 

(c)               Repayment upon Material Restatement.

                 

                   The independent members of the Board ("Independent Director Committee") may. in its discretion, require reimbursement of any Annual Bonus or other incentive payments to Executive where: (I) the payment of such Annual Bonus or other incentive payments to Executive was predicated upon achieving certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a material restatement of the Company's audited financial statement with the need for such restatement having been confirmed by the Company's independent auditors; (2) the Independent Director Committee determines Executive engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct that substantially caused the need for the restatement; and (3) a lower payment would have been made to Executive based upon the restated financial results. In each such instance, the Executive shall repay to the Company the amount by which the Executive's Annual Bonus or other incentive payments for the relevant period exceeded the lower payments that would have been made based on the restated financial results; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be required to repay any Annual bonus or other incentive payments, or portion thereof, pursuant to this paragraph if such payments relate to accounting periods occurring two (2) years (or such longer time period as may be required by law) or more prior to the restatement. Before the Independent Director Committee determines whether Executive engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct that caused or substantially caused the need for the substantial restatement, it shall provide to Executive written notice and the opportunity to be heard, at a meeting of the Independent Director Committee (which may be in-person or telephonic, as determined by the Independent Director Committee).

(d)              Vacation. Retroactive to the Start Date, and continuing through the Term of Executive's employment under this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of paid annual vacation.

In addition, the Company shall reimburse Executive for reasonable travel expenses Executive incurs in traveling from Executive's residence in Arizona to Cape Coral, Florida from time to time and for reasonable temporary living expenses Executive incurs for room, board and transportation in the Cape Coral, FL area.

 

5.               Executive Benefits. Retroactive to the Start Date, and continuing through during the Term of Executive's employment under this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans, programs or policies provided to other full time employees or senior management of the Company or which may become in effect for the benefit of any other employees or senior management of the Company at any time during the course of Executive's employment by the Company, subject to the terms of such plans, programs or policies. Such other benefits shall include, but not be limited to, directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the Company for the benefit of its directors and officers. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from amending or terminating any such plan at any time.

7 .               Termination of Employment.

           

(a)               Death: Permanent Disability. Upon the death of Executive during the term of this Agreement, the Employment Term shall terminate. If during the Employment Term Executive fails, because of illness or other incapacity, to perform the services required to be performed by him hereunder for any period of more than 90 days during any calendar year (provided that vacation time, if not previously taken, shall be exhausted before the above 90-day period commences to run) (any such illness or incapacity being hereinafter referred to as " Permanent Disability "), then the Company, in its discretion, may at any time thereafter terminate the Employment Term upon not less than 30 days' written notice thereof to Executive, and the Employment Term shall terminate and come to an end upon the date set forth in said notice as if said date were the termination date of the Employment Term; provided, however, that no such termination shall be effective if prior to the date when such notice is given, Executive's illness or incapacity shall have terminated and he shall be physically and mentally able to perform the services required hereunder and shall have taken up and be performing such duties.

 

If Executive's employment shall be terminated by reason of his death or Permanent Disability, Executive or his estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive (i) any earned and unpaid salary through the date of termination; (ii) a pro rata portion of any annual bonus that Executive otherwise would have been entitled to receive pursuant to any bonus plan or arrangement for senior executives of the Company (such pro rata portion to be payable at the time such annual bonus otherwise would have been payable to Executive); and (iii) subject to the terms thereof, any benefits that may be due to Executive on the date of his termination under the provisions of any employee benefit plan, program, or policy of the Company. If Executive's employment is terminated by reason of his Permanent Disability, Executive shall be entitled to receive short-term disability benefits subject to the terms of the Company's short-term disability plan until such time as Executive becomes entitled to the benefits under the Company's Long Term Disability Plan; provided that the Company's obligation to provide such short-term disability benefits to Executive shall not under any circumstances extend beyond the maximum period provided in the Company's short-term disability plan plus an additional 90 days.

 

(b)               Termination for Cause or Upon Executive's Resignation. If the Employment Term is terminated (i) by Executive (other than as a result of a material breach by the Company as set forth in Section 7(c) or (ii) by the Company for Cause, in either case, Executive shall be entitled to receive only (x) any earned and unpaid Base Annual Salary accrued through the date of termination and (y) subject to the terms thereof, any benefits which may be due to Executive on such date under the provisions of any employee benefit plan, program, or policy. If Executive is terminated for Cause, the Company shall deliver written notice to Executive, which notice shall specify the item of Cause for which Executive has been terminated.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" and "for Cause" shall mean (i) any intentional breach of Executive's fiduciary duty to the Company, including but not limited to fraud, dishonesty, embezzlement, and failure to follow directions of the Board of Directors or of the Company's parent corporation; (ii) Executive's material breach of this Agreement (iii) Executive's material breach of the Covenant Agreement; (iv) Executive's gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duties that materially adversely affects the Company; (v) any material violation by Executive of the Company's non-discrimination, non-harassment, or non-retaliation policies or procedures as may be established by the Company from time to time; (vi) conviction of, or a plea to, a felony (including a plea of nolo contendere); or (vii) Executive's continued failure to perform in any material respect his duties to the Company as specifically directed by the Board; provided, however, that (A) the Company shall give Executive notice of any circumstances described in (ii) or (vii) above, which notice shall describe such circumstances in reasonable detail, and (B) no for "Cause" termination shall be deemed to exist if Executive shall remedy or cure the relevant circumstances within 20 days from his receipt of such notice. Termination for Cause under clause (ii) or (vii) shall be effective immediately following expiration of the 20-day cure period as aforesaid; provided Executive has not previously cured the event of Cause; and termination for Cause under (iv) shall be effective immediately upon receipt by Executive of written notice of termination.

(c)               Termination Other than for Cause or Upon Material Breach by Company. If the Employment Term is terminated (i) by the Company other than for Cause or (ii) by Executive, subject to the succeeding sentence, following a material breach by the Company of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any material diminution in the scope of the Executive's duties or a reduction in the Annual Salary payable hereunder), in either case, the Company shall continue to pay to Executive (x) the Base Annual Salary in effect at the end of the Employment Term for a period of six (6) months after such termination of this Agreement payable in installments at least bi-weekly or otherwise in accordance with customary payroll practices for senior executives of the Company. and, as severance compensation, (y) a prorated bonus ("Prorated Termination Bonus") in an amount equal to the Annual Bonus for the Executive that has accrued, if any, at the end of the calendar quarter immediately prior to the quarter in which the termination of the Executive's employment occurs prorated out through end of the calendar quarter in which the Executives termination occurs, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of completed calendar days of employment during the calendar year in which the Executive's employment terminates and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days through the end of the calendar quarter in which the termination of the Executive's employment occurs. By way of example only, if Executive's employment terminates under this paragraph on the 300 th day of the year (i.e., within the fourth quarter) and the accrued Annual Bonus as of the end of third quarter is $30,000, then the Executive shall be entitled to a Prorated Termination Bonus as follows:

 

3" Quarter Accrual ($30,000) prorated through the end of the 4 th quarter = $40,000

 

$40,000 x 300 (number of days in the calendar year on day of termination) / 365 (number of calendars days at the end of the quarter in which the termination occurs) = $32,877 Prorated Termination Bonus.

 

5
 

 

The Prorated Termination Bonus shall be paid to Executive in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 above.

 

If there is a material breach of this Agreement by the Company, Executive shall, within 30 days following his knowledge of such breach, deliver written notice to the Company, which notice shall specify such material breach. No material breach shall be deemed to exist if the Company shall remedy or cure the relevant circumstances within 20 days of its receipt of such notice.

Notwithstanding anything contained in any Company annual incentive bonus plan, payment of any Termination Prorated Bonus pursuant to this paragraph 7(c) shall be in complete and total satisfaction of any obligation of the Company to Executive under such annual incentive bonus plan with respect to the performance period to which the Termination Prorated Bonus relates.

 

(d)              Termination following Change of Control. If the Employment Term is terminated by (i) the Company without Cause or by Executive following a material breach by the Company, (including, but not limited to, any material diminution in the scope of the Executive's duties or a reduction in the Annual Salary payable hereunder), in either case within eighteen (18) months following a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company, (a " Change of Control Termination ") then (i) the Company shall pay to Executive in a lump sum payment (x) all Base Salary that has accrued but is unpaid as of the Termination Date, (y) an amount equal to the Annual Base salary then in effect and (z) a prorated bonus, such prorated bonus being in an amount equal to the target bonus for the Executive under the Company's annual incentive bonus plan in the year of the Change in Control, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of completed days of employment during such performance period and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the performance period ("the Change in Control Termination Prorated Bonus") , and (ii) the Company shall pay on behalf of Executive the premium amounts for COBRA medical continuation coverage under the Company's medical plan for a period of twelve (I 2) months after the Termination Date.

For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares after the filing date hereof) and the Licensing Agreement with and effective date of March 16, 2010 between the Company and Rich Dad is no longer effective, resulting in Rich Dad no longer being entitled to designate any member of the Board of Directors, then the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Company’s stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such directors in accordance with applicable law and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such directors.

Headings of Subdivisions. The headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

 

Severability of Provisions.
