Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 


 

Note 1. Business and Basis of Presentation

 

The Company

 

Moore Medical Corp. (“Moore Medical,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is an Internet-enabled, multi-channel marketer and distributor of medical, surgical and pharmaceutical products to approximately 100,000 health care practices and facilities in non-hospital settings nationwide, including: physicians, emergency medical technicians, schools, correctional institutions, municipalities, occupational/industrial health doctors and nurses, and other specialty practice communities. Moore Medical also serves the medical/surgical supply needs of 30 customer community affiliates. We market to and serve our customers through direct mail, industry-specialized telephone support staff, field sales representatives, and the Internet. Our direct marketing and distribution business has been in operation for 55 years. The Company operates principally from three distribution facilities located in the United States.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Moore Medical has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period have been made. The results for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003 do not necessarily indicate the results to be expected for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2003 or any other future period.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure”, an amendment of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Pursuant to SFAS 123, the Company elected to account for stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, no compensation expense was included in the determination of net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002. See Note 6 for the impact on net income (loss) for the periods presented had the Company recorded stock-based compensation in the determination of net income (loss).

 

Note 2. Business Combination

 

In July 2002, the Company completed its purchase of the remaining 49% interest it did not previously own in Podiatry Online, an online information site and electronic newsletter. The purchase of Podiatry Online created a sales channel to serve podiatrists nationwide. The total purchase price of $750,000 was made with cash in the amount of $500,000 and 33,566 shares of the Company’s common stock with an aggregate value of $250,000. The acquisition was recorded as a purchase transaction, with $750,000 recorded as goodwill.

Table of Contents

Note 3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. SFAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets whereby such assets are no longer amortized; however, the standard does require evaluation for impairment and a corresponding writedown, if appropriate. Intangible assets with estimated useful lives continue to be amortized. SFAS 142 required an initial evaluation of goodwill impairment upon adoption. The initial evaluation was performed as of January 1, 2002 resulting in no impairment in the value of the Company’s goodwill. An annual evaluation is performed to test for goodwill impairment by applying a fair value based test. The Company recorded no impairment losses during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003 and during fiscal 2002.

 

Included in other noncurrent assets are goodwill balances of $1.7 million at September 27, 2003 and December 28, 2002, which represent the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisitions of Podiatry Online and MERGInet Medical Resources.

 

Note 4. Long-Term Debt

 

On January 26, 2001, the Company entered into a collateralized bank financing agreement which provided up to a $15 million revolving line of credit (“loan agreement”) expiring on January 26, 2004. On November 6, 2003, the Company amended its $15 million loan agreement and extended the maturity date to June 30, 2006. Interest is charged at the prime rate, plus or minus 25 basis points or, at the option of the Company, at the LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.0% depending on the financial leverage of the Company. The Company pays a commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.30% per annum on the unused line of credit. With the exception of a $0.1 million certificate of deposit, all amounts of cash and cash equivalents are required to be offset against outstanding borrowings on the loan agreement.

 

In consideration for the loan agreement, the Company has collateralized all of the Company’s assets (current and future existence) over the term of the loan agreement. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Company covenants that as long as it has any obligations or commitments to the lender, the Company will be subject to financial covenants involving consolidated tangible net worth, minimum earnings requirements and a leverage ratio calculation. These covenant targets fluctuate over the course of the term of the loan agreement.

 

At December 28, 2002, the Company was in violation of the consolidated tangible net worth and earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) financial covenants contained in its loan agreement for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. On March 27, 2003, the Company and its lender amended certain financial covenants and conditions of the loan agreement effective for the period ended December 28, 2002, including the consolidated tangible net worth and EBIT financial covenants. As of December 28, 2002, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants, as amended. In addition, the Company was in violation of the EBIT financial covenant contained in its amended loan agreement for the quarters ended March 29, 2003 and June 28, 2003. The Company received a waiver from its lender for the covenant violation at March 29, 2003. For the covenant violation at June 28, 2003, the Company and its lender amended certain financial covenants effective for the quarter ended June 28, 2003. As of June 28, 2003, the Company was in compliance with the EBIT financial covenant, as amended. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants for the quarter ended September 27, 2003.

 

Note 5. Litigation

 

On July 31, 2003, the Company received an unfavorable court judgment requiring the Company to pay the legal fees of the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed against the Company by the estate of a former employee. The lawsuit related to employee benefits administration in 1993. The Company has recorded $245,000 of general and administrative expense in the nine months ended September 27, 2003 related to this judgment.

Note 6. Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts are calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, excluding any dilutive common share equivalents. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities to issue common stock were exercised.

 

A reconciliation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003 and September 28, 2002 respectively, follows (in thousands):

Effect of assumed conversion of employee stock options

   —      18
    
  

Diluted EPS

   3,190    3,179
    
  

 

Employee stock options to purchase approximately 217,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during the nine months ended September 27, 2003. Such stock options could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future but were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to being anti-dilutive.

 

Had compensation cost for the stock option plans been recognized based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, net income (loss) and basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share would have been as indicated in the table below.

Note 7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after September 30, 2003.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. This statement requires that an issuer classify financial instruments that are within its scope as a liability. Many of those instruments were classified as equity under previous guidance. Most of the guidance in SFAS 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of these statements to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

Moore Medical is an Internet-enabled, multi-channel marketer and distributor of medical, surgical and pharmaceutical products to approximately 100,000 health care practices and facilities in non-hospital settings nationwide, including: physicians, emergency medical technicians, schools, correctional institutions, municipalities, occupational/industrial health doctors and nurses, and other specialty practice communities. Moore Medical also serves the medical/surgical supply needs of 30 customer community affiliates. We market to and serve our customers through direct mail, industry-specialized telephone support staff, field sales representatives, and the Internet. Our direct marketing and distribution business has been in operation for 55 years. The Company operates principally from three distribution facilities located in the United States.

 

The Company achieved net sales of $38.1 million for the third quarter ended September 27, 2003, an increase of 3.0% over the prior year’s quarter. In the aggregate, sales growth fell short of the Company’s expectations for the quarter; however, the Company realized sales growth over the prior year’s quarter in several of its specialty markets that were the focus of investments in prior quarters. While the Company has experienced an increase in net sales in this quarter and on a year-to-date basis compared to the same periods a year ago, pricing pressures and product mix have negatively impacted the Company’s gross margin percentage in fiscal 2003 compared to fiscal 2002.

 

As a result of an expanded specialized field sales force and additions to sales and marketing management to support the Company’s multi-channel marketing and distribution, sales and marketing expenses increased by approximately 15% for the nine months ended September 27, 2003, compared to the same period a year ago.

 

Increases in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, were primarily related to increases in bad debt expense, professional service fees, pension expense and insurance expense.

 

The Company recorded net income of $0.5 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 27, 2003 as a result of net sales growth which offset increases in general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 27, 2003, lower than expected sales growth did not generate sufficient gross profit to offset the Company’s sales infrastructure investment and higher operating costs, which resulted in a net loss of $(0.3) million, or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share.

Net sales for the three months ended September 27, 2003 were $ 38.1 million, an increase of 3.0% from $37.0 million in the same period a year ago. For the nine months ended September 27, 2003, net sales were $107.6 million, an increase of 4.6% from $102.9 million in the same period a year ago. The Company’s sales growth in both periods occurred primarily in its public sector (i.e., corrections, schools, federal, state and local government), podiatry and physicians’ specialty markets, and was offset by decreases in the occupational health and resellers’ specialty markets. Internet-based revenue increased 24.3% to $4.6 million and 23.8% to $13.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, respectively, compared to $3.7 million and $10.5 million, respectively, for the same periods a year ago, as more orders were placed on the Company’s enhanced e-business channel.

 

Gross margins decreased to 26.8% and 27.1% for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, respectively, as compared to 27.7% and 27.6% for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002, respectively. The decreases for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003 compared to the same periods a year ago were primarily attributable to increased competitive pricing pressures in certain markets, aggressive pricing associated with gaining entry into competitively held new accounts, and product mix.

 

Sales and marketing expenses remained constant at $2.7 million and increased by 15.0% to $9.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, respectively, compared with $2.7 million and $8.0 million for the same periods a year ago. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 7.0% and increased to 8.5% for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, respectively, as compared to 7.3% and 7.7% for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002, respectively. Contributing to sales and marketing expenses remaining constant at $2.7 million for the three months ended September 27, 2003 compared to the same period a year ago, was an increase in sales and marketing salaries and benefits expenses, as a result of the expansion of the field sales force. The increase was offset by efficiency gains in direct advertising expenses due to more effective, targeted marketing campaigns and increased revenue received from vendor advertising programs. The year to date increases are attributable to increased sales and marketing salaries and benefits expenses to support the Company’s multi-channel marketing and distribution, and a result of the expansion of the field sales force in the fourth quarter of 2002, which continued into fiscal 2003.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by 6.3% to $6.8 million and 9.7% to $20.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, respectively, compared to $6.4 million and $18.5 million for the same periods a year ago. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 17.7% and 18.9% for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, respectively, as compared to 17.4% and 18.0% for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002,

respectively. The increase from the prior year’s periods were primarily related to increases in pension expense, professional services fees, insurance expense, and bad debt expense. During the first three quarters of fiscal 2003, the Company experienced difficulties in its collection of accounts receivable, particularly in smaller dollar volume customer accounts, which contributed to the increase in bad debt expense. In addition, on July 31, 2003, the Company received an unfavorable court judgment requiring the Company to pay the legal fees of the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed against the Company by the estate of a former employee. The lawsuit related to employee benefits administration in 1993. The Company has recorded $245,000 of general and administrative expense in the nine months ended September 27, 2003 related to this judgment.

 

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003 decreased to approximately $38,000 and $124,000, respectively, from approximately $113,000 and $201,000, respectively, in the same periods a year ago. This decrease was primarily attributable to the recognition of approximately $50,000 of interest expense for the decrease in the fair value of the Company’s interest rate cap agreement in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. The decrease was also attributable to a reduction in the principal amount of borrowings under the Company’s revolving line of credit along with the impact of decreasing interest rates during both periods.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 36.0% for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003 compared to the effective income tax rates of 36.1% and 36.0% for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate is due primarily to state income taxes.

 

Net income was $0.5 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, and net loss was ($0.3) million, or ($0.08) per basic and diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2003, respectively, compared to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, and net income of $1.1 million, or $0.35 per basic and diluted share, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2002.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On January 26, 2001, the Company entered into a collateralized bank financing agreement which provided up to a $15 million revolving credit facility (“loan agreement”), expiring on January 26, 2004. On November 6, 2003, the Company amended the loan agreement and extended the maturity date to June 30, 2006.

 

At December 28, 2002, the Company was in violation of the consolidated tangible net worth and earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) financial covenants contained in its credit facility for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002. On March 27, 2003, the Company and its lender amended certain financial covenants and conditions of the credit facility effective for the period ended December 28, 2002, including the consolidated tangible net worth and EBIT financial covenants. As of December 28, 2002, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants, as amended. In addition, the Company was in violation of the EBIT financial covenant contained in its amended loan agreement for the quarters ended March 29, 2003 and June 28, 2003. The Company received a waiver from its lender for the covenant violation at March 29, 2003. For the covenant violation at June 28, 2003, the Company and its lender amended certain financial covenants effective for the quarter ended June 28, 2003. As of June 28, 2003, the Company was in compliance with the EBIT financial covenant, as amended. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants for the quarter ended September 27, 2003.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at September 27, 2003 totaled $0.1 million in the form of a certificate of deposit. With the exception of the $0.1 million certificate of deposit, all amounts of cash and cash equivalents are required to be offset against outstanding borrowings on the loan agreement. As of September 27, 2003, the Company had $3.6 million outstanding on its loan agreement.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 and resulted primarily from a net loss of ($0.3) million and the combination of non-cash charges of $3.3 million and a decrease in uses of operating items of working capital of $0.1 million. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of depreciation expense of $2.0 million and bad debt expense of $1.2 million. The decrease in working capital needs was primarily due to a $4.9 million increase in accounts payable and other liabilities, a $0.1 million decrease in other assets, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable by $4.4 million and an increase in inventory of $0.8 million. The increase in accounts payable and other liabilities was primarily due to timing and value of inventory receipts and payment of invoices. The increase in accounts receivable was due primarily to an increase in net sales of approximately $3.8 million in the last half of the third quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to the last half of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, combined with certain customers paying the Company slower in fiscal 2003 than in fiscal 2002.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003. The primary investment was the replacement of the communications infrastructure within the Company. The Company expects to invest a total of nearly $2.0 million during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2003 in capital projects on communication and computer infrastructure systems and operating efficiency initiatives which are expected to produce future benefits to the Company.

 

Net cash used in financing activities of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2003 is the aggregate of paying down borrowings on the Company’s credit facility and a reduction in a cash overdraft.

The Company believes that cash flows from operations and available cash and cash equivalents are adequate to fund the Company’s operations for the foreseeable future.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are based on the application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The Company believes the following are some of the more critical accounting policies that impact the Company’s financial statements:

 

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations of companies acquired in purchase business transactions are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.

 

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the

 

15


Table of Contents

reporting period. Subsequent actual outcomes could differ from those estimated and assumed. The more significant estimates and assumptions used by management in the preparation of the financial statements relate to the reserves established for uncollectible accounts receivable, obsolete and slow moving inventory and certain accrued liabilities.

 

Inventories - Inventories, consisting of products purchased for resale, are stated at the lower of average cost or market value. Market values are based on the net realizable value of the products.

 

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets consist of goodwill and are included in other assets, net of amortization. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is no longer amortized, but is evaluated for impairment and written down, if appropriate, and intangible assets with estimated useful lives continue to be amortized.

 

Revenue Recognition - Sales are recorded upon shipment of products to customers. Revenue from freight charged to customers is recognized when products are shipped. Provisions for customer returns and allowances are recorded in the period the related sales are recorded.

 

Advertising - The cost of direct response catalog advertising is deferred and amortized over the period of expected revenues. Direct response catalog advertising consists primarily of catalog production expenses and related postage costs. Revenue from catalogs is earned over varying time periods, but the largest catalogs are generally effective for less than a year.

 

Income Taxes - The liability method is used to calculate deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using applicable tax rates, and on tax carryforwards.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company records stock option awards in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and discloses the resulting estimated compensation effect on net income on a pro forma basis for all periods presented.

 

Fiscal Year - The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal year end 2003 ends on December 27, 2003. The 2002 fiscal year ended on December 28, 2002.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after September 30, 2003.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement requires that an issuer classify financial instruments that are within its scope as a liability. Many of those instruments were classified as equity under previous guidance. Most of the guidance in SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of these statements to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative & Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

As described in the notes to the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, the Company maintains a collateralized bank financing agreement, which provides up to a $15 million revolving line of credit maturing on June 30, 2006. Interest is charged at the prime rate, plus or minus 25 basis points or, at the option of the Company, at the LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.0% depending on the financial leverage of the Company. In February 2002, the Company purchased a 30-month interest rate cap in the notional amount of $3.0 million with a cap rate of 4.0% to hedge against an increase in interest rates. At September 27, 2003 and December 28, 2002, the fair value of the interest rate cap was $0. The Company does not expect changes in interest rates to have a material effect on income or cash flows in fiscal 2003, although there can be no assurances that interest rates will not significantly change.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-4(c) and 15d-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

EX-10.25 3 dex1025.htm EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT Employment Agreement

Exhibit 10.25

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, agreed to be entered into on and effective as of August 15, 2003 (the “Effective Date”), by and between MOORE MEDICAL CORP., a Delaware corporation with an office in New Britain, Connecticut (the “Employer”), and MARK FLORENCE of 23 Joseph Road, Shrewsbury, MA 01545 (the “Employee”).

 

The Employer and Employee hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Term; Duties. The term of this Agreement shall be for the period from the Effective Date through December 31, 2003 (or earlier, pursuant to paragraphs 6, 7, 15 or 16) (the “Term”). The Term shall be automatically extended for successive one-year periods unless the Company gives the Employee notice of termination no later than (two) months prior to the end of the Term. During the Term, the Employer will employ the Employee, and the Employee will serve the Employer, as its Vice President/General Manager, Primary Care, reporting to its President and subject at all times to the direction of its Board of Directors and Executive Committee. During the Term the Employee’s office will be at such office of the Employer in Connecticut as the Employer may designate. The Employee agrees that during the Term he will devote his entire working time and give his best efforts and attention to the business of the Employer. The Employee shall not be required to perform duties inconsistent with those normally assigned by the Employer to its executive level employees.

 

2. Salary. As compensation for his services during the Term, the Employer will pay the Employee, in installments on the Employer’s regular payroll payment dates and subject to statutory withholding amounts, a salary: for 2003 beginning July 1, 2003 at the annual rate of $180,000 plus an inflationary adjustment in subsequent contract periods for any increase thereafter in the Consumer Price Index (or relevant industry data index, e.g., Connecticut Business Industry Association).

 

3. Bonus Compensation. As additional compensation for his services during the Term, the Employer will pay the Employee such bonus compensation as may become due to the Vice Presidents of the Employer under the 2003 Bonus Plan of the Employer. The Employee has received a copy of said Plan. The Employee will, during the Term, be entitled to participate in the company’s Bonus Plan as the Employer’s Board of Directors may adopt for successive years.

 

4. Vacation; Benefits. The Employee will be entitled to three weeks vacation during each calendar year in the Term. The Employee has received a list of the Employer’s current benefit plans and policies regarding severance, sick leave and the like, available or applicable to the Employee. The Employee acknowledges that said list does not set forth all material terms and conditions of these plans and policies, and that they are subject to modification or elimination by the Employer.

 

5. Non-Competition. This agreement supersedes all previous agreements, written or oral. The Employee covenants and agrees that during the Term, and until nine months thereafter, he will not, directly or indirectly, engage or own any interest in any distributor of medical or surgical supplies or pharmaceuticals, whether as principal, agent, partner, director, officer, stockholder, investor, lender, consultant, employee, or in any other capacity. The Employer will not

 

1


unreasonably withhold its consent in writing to the Employee’s employment during the 9 months non-compete period, after the Term, by a company not principally engaged in the distribution of medical, surgical or pharmaceutical products which has a subsidiary, division or other separate business unit engaged in such business if the company in writing requests such consent from the Employer and gives the Employer its written agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Employer, which (i) provides that the Employee’s services for said company will not, directly or indirectly, relate to the business or affairs of said subsidiary, division or unit or to the development of such a distribution business, (ii) sets forth the practical steps that said company will take to assure compliance with clause (i) hereof, and (iii) grants the Employer the right and practical ability to have its independent accountants determine compliance or non-compliance with said clause. The Employee agrees that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of the foregoing covenant will be inadequate, and that Employer will be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in respect thereof without the necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damage to Employer.

 

6. Death. The death of the Employee will terminate the Term.

 

7. Incapacity. If during the Term the Employee is unable, on account of illness or other incapacity, to perform his duties for a total of more than 45 consecutive, or an aggregate of 75 days during any twelve month period, the Employer has the right to terminate the Term on ten days’ written notice to the Employee, and the Employee will thereafter be entitled to receive only one-half of his salary installments otherwise payable until the earlier of the last day of (i) the month-end after the delivery of said notice, or (ii) the Term (determined without giving effect to such termination).

 

8. Employer Information. All information and materials disclosed by the Employer to the Employee or acquired at the Employer’s expense by the Employee or acquired or developed by the Employee in connection with his services under this Agreement, all trade secrets of the Employer and all Work-Product (hereinafter defined) (herein collectively “Employer Information”) shall be and remain the sole property of the Employer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employment Information shall not include information that the Employee can demonstrate (i) was known to him prior to the disclosure to him by the Employer, or (ii) was publicly known at the time of the disclosure or which thereafter became publicly known without fault of the Employee.

 

9. Work-Product. All right, title and interest in and to any work-product which the Employee acquires, compiles, authors, invents, makes or otherwise generates, in whole or in part, including all works authored and all inventions made, for use in connection with or arising out of or in relation to his services under this Agreement, whether or not copyrightable or patentable (herein collectively “Work-Product”), shall belong exclusively to the Employer. During and after the Term of this Agreement, the Employee shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver all documents, including, without limitation, all instruments of assignment, and perform all acts, which the Employer may reasonably request to secure its rights hereunder.

 

10. Confidentiality; Non-use. During and after the Term, the Employee shall not, without first obtaining the written consent of the Employer, divulge or disclose to anyone outside the Employer, whether by private or public communication or publication or otherwise, or use except

 

2


pursuant to this Agreement, any Employer Information; however, an incidental non-derogatory disclosure by the Employee of Employer Information (other than trade secret or Work Product information) after 18 months following the end of the Term will not breach this provision.

 

11. Conflicts of Interest; Conflicting Obligations. The Employee agrees that it is his responsibility to recognize and avoid, and disclose to the President of the Employer in writing, any situation which might, either directly or indirectly, adversely affect his judgment in serving the Employer or which might otherwise involve a conflict between his personal interests and the interests of the Employer. The Employee represents and warrants to the Employer that at the date hereof no such situation exists or is contemplated or anticipated. The Employee agrees not to disclose or use in the course of his services for the Employer any trade secret, confidential or proprietary information, or work-product of any party other than the Employer. The Employee represents and warrants to the Employer that his entry into and performance of this Agreement do not and will not conflict with any obligation by which he is or may become bound or any right of a third party to which he is or may become subject. The Employee will not serve as a Board member of another company unless he seeks and obtains the Employer’s approval prior to making a commitment to do so.

 

12. Non-Solicitation. The Employee agrees that, until one year after the Term, he will not solicit, induce, attempt to hire, or hire any employee of the Employer, or assist in such hiring by any other party, or encourage any such employee to terminate his or her employment with the Employer.

 

13. Standard Intellectual Property Agreement. The Employee agrees to execute the Employer’s standard employee agreement relating to intellectual property and employment information. To the extent any of the provisions of this Agreement are in conflict with any of the provisions of such standard agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will control.

 

14. Stock Option as an Inducement. Not Applicable. (Note: A grant of a stock option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock, at $8.65 per share was awarded to Mark Florence on April 23, 2001.)

 

15. Effect of “Change of Control”; Termination; Severance. The Employer or Employee may terminate the Term on written notice to the other within 30 days after a “Change of Control” (as defined in Section 3(b) of the Employer’s Change of Control and Change of Position Payment Plan). The Employee has received a copy of said Plan. The Employee may also terminate the Term on written notice to the Employer within 30 days after “Change of Position” (as defined in Section 3(c)(ii) of the Plan) occurring within twelve months after a Change of Control. A termination will be effective 30 days after the delivery of the notice. In the event of a termination by the Employer, the Employee will be entitled to a severance payment, under Section 4 of the Plan and subject thereto, in the amount of 100% of the “Base Amount” (as defined in Section 4 of the Plan). In the event of a termination by the Employee after a Change of Position within twelve months of a Change of Control, the Employee will be entitled to a severance payment, under Section 4 of the Plan and subject thereto, in the amount of 75% of said Base Amount. The provisions of this paragraph 15 supersede any prior agreement between the Employer and the Employee relating to any severance, termination or change of control arrangement or payment.

However, in the event the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Employer without cause, the Employee will be entitled to receive his salary payments for nine months following the last month of employment, less the compensation earned and consideration received by the Employee from any subsequent employment or for otherwise providing services. However, the Employee will not have an affirmative duty to seek employment not consistent with his experience (including prior levels of responsibility) and expertise. “Cause” shall include material breach of this Agreement not cured within 10 days, breach of fiduciary duty, gross insubordination, willful neglect of duties, habitual unreliability, personal conduct in material violation of the Employer’s policies or universally accepted good business practices, and other matters of comparable severity to any of the above.

 

17. Governing Law; Etc. This Agreement is governed by the laws of Connecticut. It represents the entire agreement of the parties and it cannot be changed except by a writing signed by the President of the Employer and the Employee. All notices by the Employee to the Employer under this Agreement shall be delivered to the President of the Employer.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed and delivered this Employment Agreement on the Execution Date, effective as of the Effective Date.
