(e)        On March 31, 2008, Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with A. Dale Mayo, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Employment Agreement”).

 

The Employment Agreement with Mr. Mayo, which supersedes the terms and conditions of his existing employment agreement, became effective on April 1, 2008 and extends the term of his employment to March 31, 2011. Upon such expiration, either the Board or Mr. Mayo may exercise the option to have Mr. Mayo serve only as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company for a term of three years, with both his time commitment and Base Salary (as defined therein) reduced by 50% from their levels immediately before such change in roles.

 

Under his previous employment agreement, Mr. Mayo received an annual base salary of $600,000 and a guaranteed bonus of $240,000 per year. Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Mayo will receive a base salary of $600,000, subject to increase for subsequent years in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), and an annual bonus based on the satisfaction of certain performance targets to be set annually by the Committee, which bonus shall not exceed 131.25% of Mr. Mayo’s then-Base Salary and is payable in cash, as to the portion of any bonus earned for an initial target, and then 50% in cash and 50% in restricted stock for any additional bonus amount earned for higher targets. Mr. Mayo will also be entitled to participate in all benefit plans provided to senior executives of the Company.

 

On March 31, 2008, pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Mayo received 750,000 non-qualified stock options under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. The options have an exercise price of $3.25 and an expiration date of March 31, 2014, and will vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant or earlier upon the satisfaction of the following targets for the price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock:

 

 

The grant is subject to approval of shareholders to the extent required by law.
