Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 13, 2018, the Compensation Committee
of Taylor Devices, Inc. approved Employment Agreements between Taylor Devices, Inc. and both Alan R. Klembczyk, President, and
Mark V. McDonough, Chief Financial Officer.
By the terms, the Company will continue to
employ the Executive for a period of one year after the date of the Agreement. After the initial term, this Agreement will automatically
renew each year for one additional year. However, either party may elect not to renew this Agreement for any renewal period by
providing ninety days written notice of such election prior to the end of the initial term or renewal period. If this agreement
is not renewed by the Executive, no Severance Package shall be paid. If this Agreement is not renewed by the Company, the Executive
shall be entitled to the Severance Package. The Severance Package consists of the continuation of the Executive's base salary for
a period of 12 months and, if the Executive elects COBRA continuation of health insurance under the applicable Company plan, reimbursement
of premiums for up to twelve (12) months.
Under the Agreements, the Company agrees to
pay Mr. Klembczyk a base salary of two hundred thirty-five thousand dollars per year and Mr. McDonough a base salary of two hundred
twenty thousand dollars per year, subject to increase at the discretion of the Board. The Executives shall be eligible for an Incentive
Compensation Plan based on Company performance as approved by the Board of Directors.
The Company may terminate the employment of
the Executive without further obligation to the Executive at any time for Cause, as defined in Article 1(e) of the Employment Agreement.
The Company may terminate the employment of the Executive without Cause, or for any reason. The Executive may terminate this Agreement
and his employment with the Company at any time for Good Reason, as defined in Article 1(f) of the Employment Agreement. If, within
ninety (90) days after the effective date of the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause or
by the Executive for Good Reason (or such longer period as the Company, in its discretion, may designate), the Executive executes
a waiver and release agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that releases the Company and all Affiliates from any and
all claims of any nature whatsoever relating to Executive’s employment (including, without limitation, any and all statutory
claims), the Company shall provide the Executive with the Severance Package, paid monthly in accordance with the Company’s
normal payroll practices. The Company shall provide the form of waiver and release to Executive within ten (10) days of the effective
date of Executive’s termination of employment. The provisions of the Severance Package will constitute full and final satisfaction
of all rights and entitlements that the Executive has or may have arising from or related to the termination of his employment,
whether pursuant to statute, contract, common law or otherwise.
