On September 29, 2016, the Board of Directors of Bowl America Incorporated (the “Company”) and Mr. Leslie H. Goldberg agreed to an amended employment agreement.

The amended employment agreement also provides that if Mr. Goldberg leaves the employ of the Company at the termination of the agreement or becomes disabled during the term thereof so that he cannot carry on his duties as President, he will act as a consultant and will receive $52,000 each year for ten (10) years and, for the remainder of Mr. Goldberg’s life, Mr. Goldberg will have the option to remain covered by the Company’s health insurance plans and will pay the same proportionate amount of the premium as the other officers of the Company; provided that if the Company’s health insurance plans are discontinued or otherwise unavailable to Mr. Goldberg for any reason, the Company will provide for comparable health insurance coverage.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. The Corporation hereby employs Goldberg, and Goldberg hereby agrees to work for Corporation, for a term of one year commencing as of July 4, 2016, and expiring at the end of Corporation’s next fiscal year on July 2, 2017.

Goldberg shall receive as additional annual compensation payable within seventy-five (75) days after the close of Corporation’s fiscal year two percent (2%) of the consolidated annual net profits prior to income taxes of the Corporation and its subsidiaries that exceeds $2,500,000.00; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating any such bonus, the inclusion in net income of any gain from the sale of assets other than in the ordinary course of business will be mutually agreed upon by Mr. Goldberg and the Compensation Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

 

5. In the event that Goldberg leaves the employ of the Corporation at the termination of this Agreement or in the event that he becomes disabled during the term of this Agreement so that he cannot carry on his duties as President, he shall act as consultant to the Corporation.

For the remainder of Goldberg’s life, Goldberg shall have the option to remain covered by the Corporation’s health insurance plans and shall pay the same proportionate amount of the premium as the other officers of the Corporation; provided that if the Corporation’s health insurance plans shall be discontinued or otherwise unavailable to Goldberg for any reason, the Corporation shall pay for comparable health insurance coverage for Goldberg for the remainder of Goldberg’s life.

 

6. This Agreement is purely personal with Goldberg and in the event of his death during the contract period or during the period that he receives income pursuant to Provision No. 5 of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall terminate and the obligations of the Corporation to make any further payments shall cease.
