Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 6, 2006, Berliner Communications Inc. (“BCI”) entered into employment agreements (“Agreements”) with two of its senior executive officers, Richard B. Berliner, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Patrick G. Mackey, its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The Agreements were effective as of January 1, 2006 and have a term of one year.
Pursuant to the Agreements, Mr. Berliner and Mr. Mackey are required to devote all of their business time, attention, skill and efforts exclusively to the business and affairs of BCI. If either of their employment is terminated by BCI for “Without Cause” (as defined in the Agreements) or if either resign for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Agreements), each would be entitled to an amount equal to his base salary then in effect for the remainder of the employment term (as defined in the Agreements) or for six months, whichever is longer. Payments made to each in connection with his termination of employment are generally subject to his delivery to BCI of a general release of claims. Under the Agreements, for twenty-four months following their termination of employment (twelve months, in certain cases), each will be subject to certain non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions.
