Arcimoto, Inc.

 

Employment Agreement

 

This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”), effective as of January 1, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), is entered into by Arcimoto, Inc. an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), and Mark Frohnmayer, an individual residing at the address on the signature page hereto (the “Employee”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain the services of the Employee and the Employee desires to perform certain services for the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, the Employee and Company are separately entering into a Confidentiality, Assignment of Inventions and Nonsolicitation Agreement of even date herewith;

 

NOW, THEREFORE in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties agree as follows:

 

Position and Services. The Employee’s position will be President and Chief Executive Officer reporting to the Board of Directors of the Company. During the term of Employee’s employment with the Company, the Employee shall devote his full business time, attention, skill, and best efforts to the performance of his duties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee may engage in outside business activities with the approval of the Board of Directors, or engage in religious, charitable or other community activities as long as such services and activities do not materially interfere with the Employee’s performance of his duties to the Company as provided in this Agreement.

 

Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire at the end of two (2) years unless earlier terminated.

 

Financial Terms.

 

3.1 Compensation.

 

a. Base Salary: In consideration for the Employee’s services, the Company agrees to pay Employee a base salary of Two Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($220,000) per year (the “Base Salary”), which is payable bi-weekly, less all applicable withholdings, and subject to, among other things, your continued employment with the Company. The base salary shall be reviewed no less than annually.

 

b. Vacation: Employee will accrue 4 weeks of vacation time pursuant to the Company’s vacation policy for employees generally. During any year in which Employee was not employed for the entire year, the vacation time will be prorated, proportionately to the months of Employee’s service for the Company.

 

 

 

3.2 Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for all reasonable and necessary documented out of pocket expenses incurred or paid by the Employee in connection with, or related to, the performance of Employee’s services under this Agreement. The Employee shall submit to the Company itemized monthly statements, in a form satisfactory to the Company, of such expenses incurred in the previous month. The Company shall pay to the Employee amounts shown on each such statement within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

 

3.3 Benefits. In addition to Employee’s compensation, the Employee may have the opportunity to take advantage of various Company benefit plans offered to employees from time to time. Any such benefits may be modified or changed from time to time at the sole discretion of the Company with reasonable notice.

 

3.4 Termination. The Employee is employed on an at-will basis, meaning that the Employee or the Company will be entitled to terminate the Employee’s employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause (such date of termination being referred to as the “Termination Date”).

 

3.5 General Payments and Benefits Upon Termination. When the Employee’s employment is terminated for any reason, the Company will pay the Employee (or his estate, as the case may be), on or about the Termination Date, all the compensation and benefits earned or accrued through the effective date of termination, including but not limited to, as applicable, any Base Salary earned by the Employee, expense reimbursement, amounts owed to the Employee, all unpaid amounts of the Bonus, if any, that the Executive earned prior to the Termination Date, less standard deductions and withholdings, and vacation/personal time off pay, if any, in accordance with the Company’s then current vacation/personal time policies. For the avoidance of doubt, the payments under this Paragraph 3.5 are the sole and exclusive payments owed in the event of a termination for Cause or should Employee elect to not renew the agreement upon its expiration.

 

3.6 Non-Renewal of Agreement, Termination without “Cause”, or for “Good Reason”. In the event that the Company fails to renew the agreement upon its expiration, terminates the Employee’s employment without Cause (as defined below), or in the event the Employee terminated his employment for Good Reason (as defined below), then the Employee shall be entitled to receive continuing payments of the then effective Base Salary plus the costs of insurance COBRA for Twelve (12) months. To receive such funds, Employee must execute a form of release and separation agreement provided by the Company (the “Release”). The payments and benefits shall be paid or commenced on the first payroll period following expiration of the revocation period of the Release (the “Payment Commencement Date”).

 

3.7 Definitions.

 

a. Cause means (a) the Employee’s repeated and willful failure to substantially perform his material duties to the Company (other than due to disability) after there has been delivered to the Employee written notice setting forth in detail the specific respects in which the Board of Directors believes that the Employee has not substantially performed his material duties and a demand for substantial performance and opportunity to cure, giving the Employee thirty (30) days after he receives such notice to address and remedy the deficiencies; provided however that such written notice provides a reasonable roadmap for curing any deficient work performance, (b) Employee’s repeated, incurable gross negligence and material willful misconduct that results in material harm to the Company; (c) Employee’s material breach of the terms of this Agreement; or (d) Employee’s conviction of, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony under any state or federal law.

b. Good Reason” means the occurrence of any one or more of the following events : (W) any material reduction (i.e., 10% or more) of Employee’s then effective Base Salary and Bonus; (X) any breach by the Company of this Agreement; (Y) a material reduction in the Employee’s authority, responsibilities or duties; provided, however, that no such event or condition shall constitute Good Reason unless (x) the Employee gives the Company a written notice of termination for Good Reason not more than ninety (90) days after the initial existence of the condition and (y) the grounds for termination (if susceptible to correction) are not corrected by the Company within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such notice, to the Employee’s satisfaction; or (Z) a relocation of Employee’s principal place of work outside of a thirty (30) mile radius of its current location.

 

Section 409A.

 

4.1 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”), the Company determines that the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and to the extent any payment or benefit that the Employee becomes entitled to under this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then no such payment shall be payable and no such benefit shall be provided prior to the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Employee’s separation from service, or (B) the Employee’s death.

 

4.2 To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Employee’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Employee’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)

 

4.3 The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.
