Introduction:
As more fully discussed in the attached notes to the consolidated
financial statements and in management's discussion and analysis, Broadway &
Seymour, Inc. (the "Company") has entered into an asset purchase agreement to
sell its customer relationship management business (the "CRM business") , based
in Charlotte, North Carolina, and as such, the CRM business is reflected in the
consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation for the periods
presented. Also, effective March 5, 1999 the Company sold all of the outstanding
shares of its wholly owned subsidiary The MiniComputer Company of Maryland, Inc.
("TMC"). Accordingly, as of the closing date of the CRM sale, (expected in May
1999) the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Elite Information Systems, Inc.
("Elite") will comprise the Company's ongoing operations. Tables in the attached
notes to the consolidated financial statements and in the management discussion
and analysis sections of this report provide summary details of the results of
operations of Elite, TMC (prior to the sale) and the Company's headquarters
costs.
As a result of the sales of TMC and CRM, the Company's headquarters
will relocate to Los Angeles, California and it is anticipated that the
headquarters expenses will decrease in future periods as a result of the
Company's smaller size, fewer executive and legal department personnel, lower
insurance and other corporate related costs. In addition, the amortization of
the excess costs over the fair value of assets acquired are also expected to
decrease in future periods due to the sale of TMC as well as certain of the
Elite intangible assets reaching full amortization during the first quarter of
1999.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation:
For the periods presented, the Broadway & Seymour, Inc. (the "Company")
consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations and
financial position of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries Elite Information
Systems, Inc. ("Elite") and The MiniComputer Company of Maryland, Inc. ("TMC")
as well as its corporate headquarters. The Company's customer relationship
management business ("CRM" or the "CRM business") , based in Charlotte, NC, is
reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation
for the periods presented due to the pending sale of this business to Science
Applications International Corporation ("SAIC"). Also, effective March 5, 1999
the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of TMC to a holding company owned
by TMC management . Accordingly, as of the closing date of the CRM sale
(anticipated in May, 1999), Elite will comprise the Company's ongoing
operations.
Elite is a legal and professional services business based in Los
Angeles, California and provides a comprehensive suite of financial and practice
management software applications for law firms and other professional service
organizations of all sizes. Elite's applications include integrated time and
billing systems, general ledger and practice management solutions as well as
consulting services offered to the legal and professional services markets.
Elite's software products are often sold with related services to aid the
customer in implementation, data conversion, user training, support and related
maintenance of those products.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all
adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management,
are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of March 31, 1999
and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles are not included herein. These interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998 as
reported by the Company in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current year presentation.
Note 2 - Segment Information
The Company has determined that its reportable segments (as defined by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 131 "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information") are Elite, CRM and TMC based
on each business unit having separate management teams that independently review
financial and operating performance, differences in products and services
offered, distinct geographical locations and the respective markets served.
The following table provides key data related to each reportable
segment, a summary of non-allocated headquarters costs and a reconciliation to
consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. Due to
the pending sale of the CRM business (see Note 1) and consistent with the
discontinued operations treatment of the CRM business in the consolidated
financial statements, the results of operations for the CRM business are
excluded from the segment data and the assets of the CRM business are classified
as assets held for sale and are included in the Headquarters column as of March
31, 1999.

NOTE 3 - Subsequent Events
On April 12, 1999, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to
sell the assets of the CRM business. It is expected that the transaction will
result in an after-tax gain upon consummation.
On April 13, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company implemented a
shareowner rights plan and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase
right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $.01 per
share, of the Company. The dividend was paid April 26, 1999 (the "Record Date")
to the stockholders of record on that date. Each Right entitles the registered
holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company
(the "Preferred Stock") at a price of $22.00 per one one-hundredth of a share of
Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Rights
are set forth in a Rights Agreement, dated as of April 14, 1999, as the same may
be amended from time to time, between the Company and EquiServe Trust Company,
N.A., as Rights Agent.

For the periods presented, the Broadway & Seymour, Inc. (the "Company")
consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations and
financial position of its wholly owned subsidiaries Elite Information Systems,
Inc. ("Elite") and The MiniComputer Company of Maryland, Inc. ("TMC") as well as
its corporate headquarters. The Company's customer relationship management

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
that represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events or
projected financial results. Such forward-looking statements are about matters
that are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that could
influence the matters discussed in certain forward-looking statements include
the timing and amount of revenue that may be recognized by the Company,
continuation of current expense trends, absence of unforeseen changes in the
Company's markets, continued acceptance of the Company's services and products
and general changes in the economy, as well as matters discussed in "Risks and
Uncertainties" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

</TABLE>
Elite revenue increased $5 million (65%) in the first quarter of 1999
over the first quarter of 1998. Revenue growth during the first quarter of 1999
was greatly influenced by higher levels of orders received during 1998, which
were 67% above the amount of orders signed during 1997. Most notable was a
significant contract signing for a $2.2 million license expansion for a single
customer. Elite expects to continue to perform work and recognize revenue under
this contract through 1999. Management also believes that the increase in
contract signings was due in part to Elite's introduction of products utilizing
a wider variety of database platforms and enhancements to existing product
functionality. The Year 2000 issue may have also focused an increasing number of
professional service firms on replacing their existing systems by the end of
1999. The expansion of Elite's customer base has also increased customer
support, training and maintenance revenue.
Gross margins for the first three months of 1999 increased to 43% of
revenue (or $5.4 million) from 36% of revenue (or $2.7 million) in the same
period of 1998. A substantial part of Elite's costs of revenue are expenses for
deployable resources such as implementation personnel and contract labor. The
improved margin principally reflects the increase in revenue and a more
efficient utilization of these resources in 1999 to deliver products and
services.
Research and development expenses for 1999 increased $.5 million at
Elite to $1 million (or 8% of revenue) from $.5 million (or 7.2% of revenue) in
1998. This increase was principally related to ongoing efforts to develop the
next version of the Elite suite of products, based on an advanced
object-oriented architecture with enhanced usability features. The Company is
committed to maintaining its research and development efforts so it can continue
to provide marketable software solutions as the needs of its customer base and
target markets change.
10
<PAGE> 11
Sales and marketing expenses at Elite increased $.8 million in 1999 to
$2.4 million from $1.6 million in 1998. This overall increase in sales and
marketing expenses is principally related to business development efforts,
reflecting increased commissions and incentive awards for revenue recognized and
contract signings achieved in the period. However, the revenue increases were
achieved while decreasing the sales and marketing costs as a percentage of
revenue from 21% in the first quarter of 1998 to 19% in the same period of 1999.
General and administrative expenses for 1999 remained relatively
consistent with 1998, increasing less than $.1 million. However, as a percentage
of revenue the Elite's general and administrative expenses decreased to 5% of
revenue in 1999 from 6% of revenue in 1998, reflecting growing revenue while
maintaining controls over costs in this area.
Headquarters expenses include the Company's non-allocated costs such as
professional fees, insurance costs, the costs of the corporate executive and
legal departments and amortization expense associated with the excess costs over
the fair value of assets acquired in the Elite and TMC purchase transactions.
The headquarters costs remained relatively consistent from period to period.
However, as a result of the relocation of the corporate headquarters to Los
Angeles, California and the sale of the CRM business, it is anticipated that the
headquarters expenses will decrease in future periods as a result of the
Company's smaller size, fewer executive and legal department personnel and their
related costs and lower insurance costs. In addition, the amortization of the
excess costs over the fair value of assets acquired will also decrease in future
periods due to the sale of TMC as well as certain of the Elite intangible assets
reaching full amortization during the first quarter of 1999.
Income Taxes:
The provision for income taxes on continuing operations of $59,000 (47%
of the continuing operations pre-tax income) in 1999 exceeds the income tax
expense at the statutory rates for this period primarily due to the permanent
difference of non-deductible goodwill amortization, stock compensation expense,
and state income taxes. The income tax benefit on continuing operations $51,000
(7 % of the continuing operation pre-tax loss) in 1998 is a direct result of the
pre-tax loss, offset, in part, by the permanent difference of non-deductible
goodwill amortization, stock compensation expense, and state income taxes. The
Company believes that the effective tax rate in 1999 will remain higher than the
statutory rate due to the ongoing non-deductible goodwill amortization
associated with the Company's Elite acquisition.

Year 2000 Issues:
Overview
Many software products, custom-developed software, and products
embedded with microprocessor chips were designed to store, process or perform
calculations using only the last two digits of a four-digit year date, for
example, "98" rather than "1998". These software systems and embedded products
may assume the first two digits of the year date to be "19" and as such they may
not be able to process dates with years following 1999. For example, "00" may be
treated by certain software systems as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.
Results of this failure to process the date correctly could include
miscalculations, unpredictable or inconsistent results or complete system
failures. Companies in all lines of business face issues in addressing whether
their software products, custom developed software and third party software used
internally, sold by the company or used by their vendors or customers or other
entities upon which the company relies, will be able to process data properly
relating to dates subsequent to December 31, 1999 ("Year 2000 compliance").
State of Readiness
The Company has recognized the need to address the Year 2000 compliance
issues and in 1997 established a Year 2000 compliance committee to supervise and
monitor the planning, performance and assessment of the Company's Year 2000
compliance efforts. This committee has involved members of senior management,
product development leaders, information systems management, facilities
management and corporate finance management in efforts to develop a
comprehensive and coordinated Year 2000 compliance effort. The chairman of the
committee periodically reports plans, progress and issues to executive
management and the audit committee of the Board of Directors.
Beginning in the second half of 1997, the Company began developing an
inventory list of all its proprietary software products, third party products it
incorporates in its products or resells, infrastructure and internal use
products, facilities and office service systems and hardware products upon which
it relies. Upon completion of the inventory list, the Company's Year 2000
committee appointed individual team leaders from various functional areas to be
responsible for the efforts of assessing Year 2000 compliance for each of the
inventory list items.
Proprietary Software Products and Custom Developed Software: In 1997,
the Company adopted the widely accepted definition for Year 2000 readiness set
out in the "Compliance with British Standards Institution DISC PD2000-1 for Year
2000". In May 1998, following a period of assessment and testing, the Company
issued its Year 2000 readiness statement which specifically identified the
current versions of each of the Company's proprietary products that met the
adopted standard. The Company continues to test new versions of its products for
compliance with this standard on an ongoing basis. The Company believes that its
current versions of proprietary software products are Year 2000 compliant;
however, no assurance can be given that additional modifications for Year 2000
compliance will not be necessary. The Company's software products are integrated
with its customers' software and hardware systems and have, in many cases, been
uniquely customized to the customers' specifications. The Company has generally
not tested its products as integrated in its customers' operating environments,
although it is in the process of developing methods to do so for current
TouchPoint customers. The customers' systems with which the Company's products
interoperate may not be Year 2000 compliant which may affect the operation of
the Company's products. As a result the Company, in the course of providing its
software maintenance services, may incur costs in ascertaining the cause(s) of
system failures not caused by its own products. Such costs, if any that the
Company may incur are not estimable, but will generally be charged to customers.
Many of the Company's former customers and current customers presently
use earlier versions of the Company's software products, and/or associated
custom or systems integration code, that are not Year 2000 compliant. The
Company has made efforts to communicate with these customers to advise them that
they will need to upgrade to a Year 2000 compliant version of the Company's
software product, revise custom code or implement other alternatives to meet
their business needs. Customers paying support fees are entitled to receive
software product upgrades as part of their regular maintenance contracts.
Customers who have not maintained support agreements with the Company may
purchase such upgrades. Changes to custom or systems integration code provided
by the Company that is not Year 2000 compliant are not covered by customer
maintenance agreements. Customers may perform such changes themselves, engage
the Company to perform such changes, or, in some cases, engage third parties to
perform such changes. Customers may need to upgrade third party products and
their host software and hardware systems that share data or interoperate with
the Company's products in order to utilize the
12
<PAGE> 13
Company's software upgrades or modified custom or systems integration code. Such
costs could impact customer purchasing decisions and may lead customers to
choose alternatives to the Company's products or services.
Third Party Products: Third party products embedded within the
Company's products are included in the test plans and compliance efforts that
the Company already has underway for its own products. In addition, the Company
has obtained certification of Year 2000 compliance from each third party vendor
whose products are embedded in the Company's products or that are resold by the
Company.
Infrastructure and Third Party Products Used Internally: The Company
has obtained certification of Year 2000 compliance from each of the vendors of
its internal use information technology systems. The Company is developing test
plans for these internal use systems following the same guidelines and standards
that it has used for its own products. Currently the Company anticipates having
all test plans developed for critical internal use technology systems by
mid-1999. The Company also intends to begin testing during that period and will
continue testing through 1999.
During 1999, the Company will begin developing a contingency plan
against Year 2000 failure for its mission critical software applications,
hardware and other systems.
The majority of non-information technology systems on which the Company
relies in its operations are owned and managed by the lessors of the buildings
in which the Company's offices are located. The Company has developed checklists
of critical systems upon which it relies and certification documents are being
sought from its lessors and other appropriate providers as applicable regarding
Year 2000 compliance of their systems. The Company will prioritize these systems
and develop test plans based on the responses it receives, or does not receive,
from its lessors and other providers. This effort is scheduled for completion in
the first half of 1999.
Risks and Costs
Because of the nature of the Company's business, the Company may be
subject to Year 2000 claims or litigation by its customers or other parties.
Many customers will incur significant costs in making their information
processing systems Year 2000 compliant and may seek to transfer such costs
through litigation to information processing industry vendors such as the
Company. Although the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, the
Company does not believe that the ultimate amount of liability, if any, from
such actions would have a material adverse affect on the Company.
The Company believes that Year 2000 issues may affect the purchasing
patterns of its customers and potential customers in a variety of ways. Many
companies are expending significant amounts and rededicating personnel to
correct or patch their current software systems for Year 2000 compliance. These
expenditures may result in reduced funds available to purchase software products
such as those offered by the Company. It is possible that certain of the
Company's customers are purchasing support contracts with the intent of
discontinuing such support after January 1, 2000 when they have satisfied
themselves that the supported product is Year 2000 compliant. Many potential
customers may also choose to defer purchasing Year 2000 compliant products until
they believe it is absolutely necessary, thus resulting in potentially stalled
market sales within the industry. Additionally, Year 2000 compliance issues
could cause a significant number of companies, including current Company
customers, to reevaluate their current system needs and as a result to consider
switching to other systems or suppliers.
The Company has not specifically hired additional personnel or made
material purchases of products to address Year 2000 compliance issues, nor does
the Company expect it will be necessary to do so. The expenditures made to date
have principally related to salary costs of existing personnel assigned to
participate at various levels in the Company's compliance efforts. All costs
related to achieving Year 2000 compliance are being expensed as incurred. The
Company estimates that the costs incurred to date related to Year 2000
compliance efforts range between $.5 and $1.0 million. The Company expects to
continue to test current and new versions of its proprietary software, work with
vendors of third party software that the Company uses or resells, update and
test its inventory of potentially affected internal systems and communicate with
vendors and customers regarding the Year 2000 compliance issue. The Company
estimates the costs of these efforts will be below $.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Company's cash and cash equivalent balance was $14.6 million at
March 31, 1999 and working capital was $20.4 million. The Company had positive
cash flows from operations of approximately $.2 million and $3.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company has a two-year, $15 million revolving credit facility,
against which it has made no borrowings. Based on current operating
expectations, the Company does not anticipate drawing on the facility in the
near-term. The credit facility expires in July of 1999. The Company currently
intends to begin negotiations for a renewal of or a replacement of the credit
facility prior to its expiration. Under the current facility, the Company may
borrow up to a maximum of 80% of eligible accounts receivable. As of March 31,
1999, the Company had $11.3 million available for borrowing under this facility.
The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's tangible
and intangible assets. Additionally, the loan agreement contains customary
covenants that require compliance with certain financial ratios and targets and
restricts the incurrence of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends and
acquisitions or dispositions of assets, among other things. As of March 31,
1999, the Company was in compliance with such covenants, as amended.
Management believes that cash and cash equivalents, expected cash
proceeds from the sale of CRM, projected cash from operations, and availability
under the credit facility (or a similar facility) will be sufficient to meet
currently anticipated operating needs.

EXHIBIT 3.2
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS
of
SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK
of
Broadway & Seymour, Inc.
Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware
Broadway & Seymour, Inc. (the "Corporation"), a corporation organized
and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 103 thereof, DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:
That pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors in
accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation and in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors on April 13,
1999 adopted the following resolution creating a series of Preferred Stock
designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock":
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of
Directors of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of the
Certificate of Incorporation, a series of Preferred Stock designated as Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, be, and it
hereby is, created, and that the designation and amount thereof and the powers,
preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of
the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof (in addition to the provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation that
are applicable to the Preferred Stock of all classes and series) are as follows:
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series of Preferred Stock
shall be designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock," par
value $0.01 per share, and the number of shares constituting such series shall
be 400,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of
the Board of Directors; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the
number of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock to less than
the number of shares then issued and outstanding plus the number of shares
issuable upon exercise of outstanding rights, options or warrants or upon
conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation.
<PAGE> 2
2. Dividends and Distribution.
(A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any
shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the shares
of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the
holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in
preference to the holders of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), and of any other shares of any class or series
of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the
Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly
dividends payable in cash on the first day of January, April, July and October
in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after
the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest
cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) the sum of (x) the Adjustment
Number (as defined below) times the aggregate per share amount of all cash
dividends, and (y) the Adjustment Number times the aggregate per share amount
(payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a
dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the
Common Stock since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date,
or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first
issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock. The "Adjustment Number" shall initially be one hundred (100).
In the event the Corporation shall at any time after April 26, 1999, declare or
pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a
subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each
such case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall
be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that
were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) above
immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock
(other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the
event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock
during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next
subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1.00 per share on the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on
such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.
(C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding
shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock from the Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares
is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in
which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue
of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date
or is a date
2
<PAGE> 3
after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend
and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such
dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends
paid on the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in an amount
less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on
such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such
shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for
the determination of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution
declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 30 days prior to the
date fixed for the payment thereof.
3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:
(A) Each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall
entitle the holder thereof at any time to a number of votes equal to the
Adjustment Number (as in effect at such time) on all matters submitted to a vote
of the stockholders of the Corporation.
(B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Certificate of
Incorporation as from time to time amended, or by law, the holders of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock and any
other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote
together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the
Corporation.
(C) Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Certificate of
Incorporation as from time to time amended, or by law, holders of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and
their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to
vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate
action.
4. Certain Restrictions.
(A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions
payable on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in
Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends
and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the
Corporation shall not:
(i) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions,
on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock;
(ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other
distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except dividends paid
ratably on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and all
such parity stock on
3
<PAGE> 4
which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total
amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;
(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for
consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation
may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any
such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the
Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock; or
(iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
any shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, or any
shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase
offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of
Directors) to all holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock, or to such holders and holders of any such shares ranking on a
parity therewith, upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after
consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other
relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes,
shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable
treatment among the respective series or classes.
(B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation
to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the
Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4,
purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.
5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner
whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition
thereof. All such shares shall upon their retirement and cancellation become
authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of
a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of
the Board of Directors, subject to any conditions and restrictions on issuance
set forth herein.
6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.
(A) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of
shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock shall have received $100.00 per share, plus an amount equal to
accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared,
to the date of such payment (the "Series A Liquidation Preference"). Following
the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference, no
additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of
shares of Common Stock shall have received an amount per share (the "Common
Adjustment") equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series A
Liquidation Preference
4
<PAGE> 5
by (ii) the Adjustment Number. Following the payment of the full amount of the
Series A Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all
outstanding shares of (1) Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and (2)
Common Stock, respectively, (a) holders of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock and (b) holders of shares of Common Stock shall, subject to the
prior rights of all other series of Preferred Stock, if any, ranking prior
thereto, receive their ratable and proportionate share of the remaining assets
to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to 1 with respect to (x)
the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and (y) the Common Stock, on a
per share basis, respectively.
(B) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets
available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and
the liquidation preferences of all other series of Preferred Stock, if any, that
rank on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, then
such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such parity
shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. In the event,
however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in
full of the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be distributed
ratably to the holders of Common Stock.
7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into
any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares
of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities,
cash and/or any other property, then in any such case each share of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly
exchanged or changed in an amount per share equal to the Adjustment Number times
the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property
(payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of
Common Stock is changed or exchanged.
8. No Redemption. Shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock shall not be subject to redemption by the Company.
9. Ranking. The Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall
rank junior to all other series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock as to the
payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any
such series shall provide otherwise, and shall rank senior to the Common Stock
as to such matters.
10. Amendment. At any time that any shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Certificate of Incorporation
of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially
alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares
of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single
class.
11. Fractional Shares. Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
may be issued in fractions of a share that shall entitle the holder, in
proportion to such holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights,
receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all
other rights of holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.

provide consulting services on a part-time or full-time basis for up to 90 days

AMENDED AND RESTATED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
ALAN C. STANFORD
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into
as of the 15th day of January, 1999, by and among BROADWAY & SEYMOUR, INC.
("Employer"), and ALAN C. STANFORD, an individual having an address at 8100
Sycamore Road, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240 ("Employee"), and amends and restates
in its entirety the Employment Agreement dated September 1, 1995 by and among
Employer and Employee, as previously amended (the "Prior Agreement").
Background Statement
Employee is currently the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive
Officer and President of Employer. This Agreement sets forth the parties'
agreement with respect to Employee's employment in such capacities.
Statement of Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, the mutual duties and obligations set forth herein, and
intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Employment. Employer hereby agrees to employ Employee and Employee
hereby agrees to serve Employer upon the terms and conditions set forth in this
Employment Agreement in the capacities set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto,
with the duties and responsibilities of such positions to be determined from
time to time by the Board of Directors of Employer.
2. Term. The term of this Employment Agreement shall begin on January
15, 1999, and end on January 14, 2001, and shall automatically renew for
successive two-year terms unless one party notifies the other in writing of its
intention to cancel 180 days prior to the expiration of the term.
3. Compensation, Incentives and Employee Benefits.
(a) Base Salary. Employer shall pay to the Employee for his performance
of services hereunder a base salary ("Base Salary"), which for the first year of
employment hereunder shall be at a rate of Three Hundred Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($300,000.00) per year, subject to applicable withholding for taxes. The
Employee's Base Salary rate shall be reviewed by Employer annually and may be
increased from time to time with the approval of the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors of Employer. From and after the effective date of any
such change the increased rate shall become the Base Salary rate applicable
-1-
<PAGE> 2
thereafter. Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with Employer's general
payroll practices as established from time to time.
(b) Annual Bonus Compensation. Each year during the term of this
Agreement and the Prior Agreement (commencing with the year beginning January 1,
1997), Employer shall pay to Employee annual bonus compensation with respect to
Employee's and Employer's performance during the prior fiscal year as determined
by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation
Committee shall consider the following (and other) factors in determining the
amount of annual bonus compensation payable to Employee, though it need not
assign any particular weight to such factors or articulate its rational by
reference to such factors: Employer's financial performance during the fiscal
year, including earnings per share, Employer's operational performance during
the fiscal year, Employee's satisfaction or progress toward goals established by
the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. Bonus compensation payable
under this subsection, if any, shall be paid in connection with annual bonus
payments generally made to the executive officers of Employer, and in no event
later than fifteen (15) days after Employer files its Annual Report on Form 10-K
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(c) Incentive Compensation. In the event that a sale of Employer's
Customer Relationship Management business to a third party purchaser (other than
Employee or an entity of which Employee owns directly or indirectly more than
10% of the equity interests thereof) (a "CRM Transaction") is consummated (i.e.
the transaction is closed) on or prior to December 31, 1999, Employer shall pay
to Employee, on the 10th business day following the Measurement Date, a bonus
equal to 10% of the amount equal to (i) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market
Value of Employer's Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock"), as of the
Measurement Date, over $7.25 (ii) multiplied by the number of shares of
Employer's Common Stock outstanding on the Measurement Date. In the event that
(A) a CRM Transaction does not occur and (B) a "Change of Control" as defined
solely in Sections 5(b)(i) and (iii) of this Agreement (a "Company Transaction")
occurs prior to December 31, 1999, Employer shall pay to Employee, on the 10th
business day following the effective date of such Company Transaction, a bonus
equal to 10% of the amount equal to (i) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market
Value of Employer's Common Stock as of the effective date of the Company
Transaction over $7.25, (ii) multiplied by the number of shares of Employer's
Common Stock outstanding on the effective date of the Company Transaction. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Fair Market Value" shall mean (x) in the case of a
CRM Transaction, the average of the closing prices per share of Employer's
Common Stock for the 10 trading days preceding the Measurement Date as reported
by NASDAQ; (y) in the case of a Company Transaction as defined in Section
5(b)(i), the average of the closing prices per share of Employer's Common Stock
for the 10 trading days preceding a person becoming a 40% holder, as reported by
NASDAQ; and (z) in the case of a Company Transaction as defined in Section
5(b)(iii), the average price per share received by Employer's shareholders in
such merger or consolidation. The "Measurement Date" shall be the 10th trading
day following the closing of the CRM Transaction. Notwithstanding any provisions
of this Agreement to the contrary, if Employee's employment hereunder is
terminated for any reason other than for Cause or as a result of Employee's
voluntary resignation without Good Reason, then Employee (or his estate or
representative, as applicable) shall continue to be entitled to be
-2-
<PAGE> 3
paid (and Employer shall pay) any bonuses due under this Section 3(c) as a
result of the consummation of a CRM Transaction or a Company Transaction, so
long as such termination occurred within 120 days prior to consummation of such
transaction.
(d) Stock Options. Employer shall award to Employee such stock options
and other stock-based compensation at times and in amounts as deemed appropriate
by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Employer.
(e) Employee Benefit Plans. In addition to the Base Salary and
additional compensation provided for above, Employer shall provide to the
Employee the opportunity to participate in all life insurance, medical, dental,
optical, disability, and other employee benefit plans (collectively, "Employee
Benefit Plans") sponsored from time to time by Employer and covering its
employees generally or a particular group of its employees of which the Employee
is a member (including participation by the Employee's spouse and dependents to
the extent they are eligible under the terms of such plans), subject to the
terms and conditions of such benefit plans.
(f) Reimbursement of Expenses.
(i) Employer shall pay or reimburse Employee for all reasonable travel
expenses incurred by him in connection with his travel to and from
offices established as permitted under Exhibit A to Employer's
principal offices in Charlotte, North Carolina; provided that Employer
shall not reimburse or pay for Employee's expenses for housing
(temporary or permanent) in Charlotte. Employer shall pay or reimburse
Employee for all reasonable moving expenses incurred if Employee
relocates to facilitate performance of services hereunder.
(ii) Employer shall pay or reimburse Employee for dues charged by
business clubs (including dining clubs) of which Employee is currently
a member, but shall not reimburse Employee for dues or other expenses
of country clubs (including golf or tennis clubs) unless Employee is
requested to join any such club by the Board of Directors.
(iii) Employer shall otherwise pay or reimburse Employee for all
reasonable travel and other expenses incurred by him in performing his
obligations under this Agreement.
(iv) Employer shall reimburse or pay Employee's reasonable legal and
accounting expense incurred in connection with the negotiation of this
Agreement.
(v) All such expenses shall be appropriately submitted to Employer and,
with respect to expenses to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to
subparagraph (f)(iii), approved in accordance with the policies
approved by the Board of Directors of Employer.
-3-
<PAGE> 4
(g) Vacation. Employee shall be entitled to paid annual vacation of up
to 4 weeks per year.
4. Duties. During the term hereof, Employee shall devote all of his
business time, attention, skills and efforts to the business of Employer and the
faithful performance of his duties hereunder; provided, however, that (i)
nothing contained herein shall prevent Employee from making outside investments
and relationships not inconsistent with the provisions contained herein, and for
that purpose may continue to operate Stanford Associates, LLC, and (ii) with the
approval of the Board of Directors of Employer, from time to time Employee may
serve, or continue to serve, on the boards of directors of, and hold any other
offices or positions in, companies or organizations which, in the reasonable
judgment of the Board of Directors of Employer, will not present any conflict of
interest with Employer, or materially affect the performance of Employee's
duties pursuant to this Agreement. Except for such incidental matters as may be
assigned by Employer from time to time, Employee shall neither be demoted from
his position as set forth on Exhibit A, nor shall the duties or responsibilities
normally associated with those positions be reduced during the term of this
Agreement.
5. Termination.
(a) Termination By Employer Without Cause. The parties recognize (i)
that the Board of Directors of Employer has the duty to use its judgment in the
best interests of Employer in determining whether to remove Employee as an
executive officer of Employer even though there may be no legal cause therefor
under this Agreement, and (ii) that any action or inaction of the Board of
Directors of Employer pursuant to clause (i) shall not prejudice the rights of
Employee under this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties agree that, subject to
all other provisions of this paragraph 5, Employer shall have the right at any
time during the term of this Agreement to terminate Employee's employment
hereunder without cause. Such right of termination may be exercised by removal
of Employee by the Board of Directors of Employer or the failure of the Board of
Directors of Employer to elect or reelect Employee as an executive officer of
Employer or otherwise. Termination under this Section 5(a) shall be deemed to
occur on the date that Employee is notified thereof.
(b) Termination by Employee. Employee may terminate his employment with
Employer, for any reason or without reason, during the term of this Agreement.
Such termination must be accompanied by the delivery of at least 60 days'
written notice delivered to Employer, unless the termination is for "Good
Reason" (as defined below), in which case termination shall become effective ten
(10) days after delivery to Employer by Employee of a notice of termination. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean (x) a "Change of Control"
of Employer (as defined below), (y) a Constructive Termination of this Agreement
(as defined below) or (z) a failure by Employer to comply with any material
provision of this Agreement which has not been cured within ten (10) days after
written notice of such noncompliance has been given by Employee to Employer. For
the purpose of this Agreement, a "Change of Control," shall mean if (i) any
"person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act,
other than any underwriter or member of an underwriting syndicate
-4-
<PAGE> 5
or group with respect to a public offering of securities of Employer registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Employer or any "person" who on
the date hereof is a director or officer of Employer or whose shares of
Employer's stock are treated as "beneficially owned" (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act, as in effect on the date hereof) by any such director or
officer), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
securities of Employer representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of
Employer's then-outstanding securities, (ii) less than a majority of the members
of the Board of Directors of Employer are persons who were either nominated for
election by the Board of Directors or selected by the Board of Directors of
Employer, (iii) a merger or consolidation of Employer with any other corporation
is consummated, other than a merger or consolidation which results in the
"Voting Securities" (as defined below) of Employer outstanding immediately prior
thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into "Voting Securities" of the surviving entity) at least 40% of the
total voting power immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (iv) a CRM
Transaction is consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as used in this
Agreement, "Voting Securities" shall mean any securities of Employer which vote
generally in the election of directors. For the purpose of this Agreement,
"Constructive Termination" shall mean that after the date hereof (x) the
Employee is assigned duties other than or inconsistent with those of Chief
Executive Officer of Employer, (y) Employee is required to change his place of
residence from Indianapolis, Indiana, or (z) the Employee is required to report
other than to the Board of Directors of Employer.
(c) Termination Payments.
(i) If Employer terminates Employee's employment hereunder pursuant to
paragraph 5(a) hereof for any reason other than for "Cause", as defined
herein, or if Employee terminates his employment hereunder for "Good
Reason," as defined herein, then immediately upon the effectiveness of
the termination, Employer shall make a lump sum cash payment to
Employee in an amount equal to two times the sum of (A) Employee's
annual Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the date of such
event, and (B) the aggregate amount of cash bonuses paid to Employee
with respect to the most recent fiscal year, provided, however, that
such bonuses shall not include any bonus awarded to Employee pursuant
to Section 3(c) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
expressed or implied herein, in the event that a sale of the CRM
business is consummated prior to December 31, 1999, Employee shall, at
the purchaser's election, provide reasonable consulting services on a
full-time basis for up to six (6) months following the closing for
which Employee shall be paid at a rate no less than the annual Base
Salary as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of
Employee's termination hereunder. Employee agrees further that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied in
Section 7 below, during such consulting period Employee shall not
violate the provisions of Section 7(c). Employee acknowledges and
agrees that any material breach by him of this covenant shall be a
material breach of this Agreement and that Employer, in addition to,
and without waiving any other remedy, shall have the right to
-5-
<PAGE> 6
require Employee to return all separation payments and bonus payments
made by Employer pursuant to Sections 5(c) or 3(c) of this Agreement.
(ii) From and after the termination of Employee's employment for Cause,
Employee's voluntary termination of employment other than for Good
Reason, or Employee's death, Employer shall not be liable to Employee,
his spouse or his personal representative for the payment of salary,
benefits, or payments of any kind, except for amounts payable under
this Agreement that are attributable to services performed by Employee
prior to the termination of his employment and except for amounts
payable pursuant to the terms of any Employer benefits, disability,
retirement or similar plan in which Employee may be a participant.
(iii) In the circumstances described in the last sentence of Section
3(c), Employee shall remain entitled to payment of the bonuses due
under such section after termination of Employee's employment by
Employer.
(d) Termination by Employer for Cause. Employer may terminate
Employee's employment hereunder for Cause. "Cause" means (i) the substantial
failure of Employee to carry out and perform his duties after written notice
from the Board of Directors of Employer; (ii) the repeated refusal by Employee
to follow the lawful directions of the Board of Directors; (iii) the commission
of an act by Employee constituting financial dishonesty against Employer; (iv)
the commission of an act by Employee involving a felony; (v) the commission of
an act by Employee involving moral turpitude that brings Employer or any of its
affiliates into public disrepute or disgrace or causes material harm to the
customer relations, operations or business prospects of Employer or its
subsidiaries; or (vi) violation by Employee of any provision of Section 7
hereof.
(e) Disability. If the Employee is unable to perform his duties
hereunder for a period of six consecutive months due to disability (as defined
by the primary disability insurance carrier then providing such insurance
coverage for the Employer's executive officers), Employee's employment hereunder
may be terminated at Employer's discretion by giving to the Employee written
notice specifying a termination date subsequent thereto and also subsequent to
the end of said six-month period; provided, however, that for a two-year period
following such termination, Employee shall continue as an employee of Employer
for all purposes (including without limitation Employer's benefit plans and
Employer's 1996 Stock Option Plan) and Employer shall pay to Employee any
portion of Employee's Base Salary (as in effect immediately prior to such
termination) not paid by the disability insurance carrier(s) then providing
coverage for Employer's executive officers.
(f) No Mitigation. Employee shall have no obligation to seek other
employment in the event of termination of his employment and no compensation or
other benefits received by Employee from any other employment shall reduce or
limit Employer's obligation to make payment under paragraph 5(c).
-6-
<PAGE> 7
6. Confidential Information. Employee shall not, at any time during or
following his employment by Employer regardless of the reason for such
termination of employment, furnish, divulge, communicate, use to the detriment
of Employer or for the benefit of any business, firm, person, partnership, trust
or corporation, or otherwise, any of Employer's confidential information, data,
trade secrets, sales methods, names of customers, advertising methods, financial
affairs or methods of procurement, or take with him any document or paper
relating to the foregoing, it being acknowledged that Employee received or
obtained all of the above in confidence and as a fiduciary of Employer.
7. Non-Competition. Employee agrees that during the term hereof and for
a period of two years following termination of Employee's employment hereunder
(but the provisions of subsection (c) below shall not apply to Employee after
termination of his employment if the termination was by Employer without Cause
or by Employee for Good Reason):
(a) Employee will not directly or indirectly, individually or as a
partner, employee, stockholder, consultant, agent, officer, director, advisor or
in any other capacity, solicit any of the customers of Employer or its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") for the purpose of selling any
service or product similar to those provided by the Company, or in any manner
attempt to induce any of the Company's customers or suppliers to withdraw,
reduce or divert any of their business from the Company or otherwise interfere
or attempt to interfere with any business relationship between the Company and
its customers or suppliers; provided, however, that Employer recognizes that
Employee possesses general management and management consulting skills and
agrees that the exercise of such skills are not proscribed by this paragraph
7(a). For the purposes of this paragraph 7(a), customers shall mean any client,
account or customer of the Company that has transacted any business with or been
contacted by the Company during the last twenty-four (24) months of the term of
Employee's employment.
(b) Employee will not in any manner induce or attempt to induce any of
the Company's employees to leave the employment of the Company to become
associated with any business operation selling any service or product similar to
those provided by the Company.
(c) Employee will not directly or indirectly, either as principal,
agent, manager, employee, owner (if the percentage of ownership exceeds one
percent (1%) of the net worth of the business), partner (general or limited),
director, officer, consultant or in any other capacity, participate in any
business operation engaged in a business selling any service or product similar
to those provided by the Company.
8. Limitations on Scope. Because of the current and contemplated future
operations of Employer in the geographic areas hereinafter set forth, it is
further understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the restriction set
forth in paragraph 7(c) shall apply to a business operation engaged in the
following geographic areas:
(i) The State of North Carolina;
(ii) The State of New York;
-7-
<PAGE> 8
(iii) The State of California;
(iv) The State of Illinois;
(v) The State of Florida;
(vi) The State of Massachusetts;
(vii) The State of Texas;
(viii) Any State contiguous with the State of North Carolina;
(ix) Any State contiguous with the State of New York;
(x) Any State east of the Mississippi River;
(xi) Any State of the United States of America.
The parties intend the above geographical areas to be completely
severable and independent, and any invalidity or unenforceability of this
Agreement with respect to any one area shall not render this Agreement
unenforceable as applied to any one or more of the other areas.
9. Severability. If any provision contained in this Agreement shall for
any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
of this Agreement but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. The parties
agree that in the event a court should determine that this Agreement or any of
the covenants contained herein is unreasonable, void or invalid, for any reason
whatsoever, then in such event, the parties hereto agree that the duration,
geographical or other limitation imposed herein should be as the court, or jury,
if applicable, should determine to be fair and reasonable, it being the intent
of each of the parties hereto to be subject to an agreement that protects the
legitimate competitive interests of Employer and does not unreasonably curtail
the rights of the Employee.
10. Employee's Representation. Employee represents that his experience
and capabilities are such that the provisions of paragraph 7 will not prevent
him from earning a livelihood.
11. Employer's Right to Obtain an Injunction. Employee acknowledges
that Employer will have no adequate means of protecting its rights under
paragraphs 7 and 8 of this Agreement other than securing an injunction.
Accordingly, Employee agrees that Employer is entitled to enforce this Agreement
by obtaining a preliminary and permanent injunction and any other appropriate
equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. Employee acknowledges
that the recovery of damages by Employer will not be an adequate means to
redress a breach of
-8-
<PAGE> 9
this Agreement. Nothing contained in this paragraph, however, shall prohibit
Employer from pursuing any remedies in addition to injunctive relief, including
recovery of damages.
12. General Provisions.
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding
between the parties hereto relating to the employment of Employee by Employer
and supersedes any and all prior employment or compensation agreements between
Employer and Employee.
(b) Nonassignability. Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest
hereunder shall be assignable by Employee, his beneficiaries or legal
representatives, without the prior written consent of Employer; provided,
however, that nothing shall preclude (i) Employee from designating a beneficiary
to receive any benefit payable hereunder upon his death, or (ii) the executors,
administrators or other legal representatives of Employee or his estate from
assigning any rights hereunder to the person or persons entitled thereunto.
(c) Binding Agreement. This Employment Agreement shall be binding upon,
and inure to the benefit of, Employee and Employer and their respective
permitted successors and assigns, and in the case of Employer shall also be
binding upon any person or entity that shall acquire all or substantially all of
the assets of Employer.
(d) Amendment or Modification of Employment Agreement. This Employment
Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing
signed by the parties hereto.
(e) Insurance. Employer, at its discretion, may apply for and procure
in its own name and for its own benefit, life insurance on Employee in any
amount or amounts considered advisable; and Employee shall have no right, title
or interest therein, and further, Employee agrees to submit to any medical or
other examination and to execute and deliver any applications or other
