2.04 Exclusivity Covenant. During the Agreement’s term, Employee will not undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise other than a business enterprise in which Employee does not actively participate. Further, Employee agrees not to acquire, assume, or participate in, directly or indirectly, any position, investment, or interest adverse or antagonistic to the Company, its business prospects, financial or otherwise, or take any action towards any of the foregoing. The provisions of this Section shall not prevent Employee from owning shares of any competitor of the company as long as such shares (i) do not constitute more than 1% of the outstanding equity of such competitor, and (ii) are regularly traded on a recognized exchange, or listed for trading by NASDAQ in the over-the-counter market.
 
2.05 Intentionally Omitted.
 
2.06 Confidential Information. Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the Company’s trade secrets, proprietary information and know-how, as they may exist from time to time (“Confidential Information”), are valuable, special and unique assets of the Company’s business, and that access to and knowledge of the Confidential Information is the term of his employment by the Company, in whole or in part, disclose such secrets, information or know-how to any Person for any reason or purpose whatsoever, nor shall Employee make use of any such Confidential Information for his own purposes or for the benefit of any Person (except the Company) under any circumstances during or after the term of his employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the term of Employee’s employment the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to such secrets, information and know-how which are then in the public domain (provided that Employee was not responsible, directly or indirectly, for such secrets, information or know-how entering the public domain without the Company’s consent). Employee shall have no obligation hereunder to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the extent its disclosure is specifically required by law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable law, the Employee shall provide the Company with prompt notice of such requirement, prior to making any disclosure, so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order. Employee agrees to hold as the Company’s property all memoranda, books, papers, letters, customer lists, processes, computer software, records, financial information, policy and procedure manuals, training and recruiting procedures and other data, and all copies thereof and therefrom, in any way relating to the Company’s business and affairs, whether made by him or otherwise coming into his possession, and on termination of his employment, or on demand of the Company at any time, to deliver the same to the Company.
 

Employee shall use his best efforts to prevent any removal of any Confidential Information from the premises of the Company, except as required in his normal course of employment by the Company. Employee shall use his best efforts to cause all persons or entities to whom any Confidential Information shall be disclosed by him hereunder to observe the terms and conditions set forth herein as though each such person or entity was bound hereby.
 
2.07 Records, Files. All records, file drawings, documents, equipment and the like relating to the business of the Company which are prepared or used by Employee during the terms of this employment under this Agreement shall be and shall remain the sole property of the Company.
 
2.08 Hired to Invent. Employee agrees that every improvement, invention, process apparatus, method, design, and any other creation that Employee may invent, discover, conceive, or originate by himself or in conjunction with any other Person during the term of Employee’s employment under this Agreement that relates to the business carried on by the Company during the term of Employee’s employment under this Agreement or contemplated by the Company during the term hereof even if not implemented during the term of this Agreement (“Work For Hire”) shall be the exclusive property of the Company. Employee agrees to disclose to the Company every patent application, notice of copyright, or other action taken by Employee or any affiliate or assignee to protect intellectual property during the 12 months following Employee’s termination of employment at the Company, for whatever reason, so that the Company may determine whether to assert a claim under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement. The Employee does hereby assign to the Company all of the Work For Hire and hereby appoints the Company as his attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest to execute such documents as may be required to evidence such assignment.

2.09 Equitable Relief. Employee acknowledges that his services to the Company are of a unique character which give them a special value to the Company. Employee further recognizes that violations by Employee of any one or more of the provisions of this Section 2 may give rise to losses or damages for which the Company cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in an action at law and that such violations may result in irreparable and continuing harm to the Company. Employee agrees that, therefore, in addition to any other remedy which the Company may have at law and equity, including the right to withhold any payment of compensation under Section 3 of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief to restrain any violation, actual or threatened, by Employee of the provisions of this Agreement.
 

3. Compensation.

Employee’s salary shall be payable bi-weekly.
 
3.02 Incentive Compensation. In addition to Minimum Annual Compensation, Employee shall be entitled to participate in, at the discretion of the Board, any bonus or incentive compensation plan adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board for key employees of the Company, up to fifty percent (50%) of Minimum Annual Compensation, provided the Employee attained the goals (the “Performance Goals”) which may be set by the Board from time to time.
 
3.03 Participating in Benefits. Employee shall be entitled to all Benefits made available to similarly situated employees of the Company, other than medical and dental benefits, for as long as such Benefits may remain in effect.

Employee’s entitlement to the aforementioned Benefits shall be subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such Benefits adopted by the Company and in the discretion of the Company.

3.04 Specific Benefits. During the term of this Agreement (and thereafter to the extent this Agreement shall require):
 
(a) Vacation. Commencing on April 13, 2006, Employee shall be entitled to three (3) weeks of paid vacation time per year, to be taken at time mutually acceptable to the Company and Employee.
 

(b) Insurance Policies. The Company may, at its discretion, and at any time after the execution of this Agreement, and for so long as Employee remains employed by the Company, apply for and procure, as owner and for its own benefit, insurance on the life of the Employee, in such amounts and in such form or forms as the Company may choose. The Employee shall have no interest whatsoever in the policy or policies, but the Employee shall, at the request of the Company, subject himself to such medical examinations, supply such information, and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to which it has applied for such insurance. At the termination of employment hereunder either for cause or otherwise, the Company shall either: (i) surrender such policies to the issuer; or (ii) transfer ownership of any policies procured pursuant to this Agreement to the Employee who shall thereafter be responsible for the payment of any premiums thereunder. It is the intention of the parties that the Company shall retain no insurance on the life of the Employee after employment hereunder has been terminated for any reason whatsoever.
 
(c) Disability. If Employee is unable to perform his obligations under this Agreement because of illness and/or disability, Employee shall continue to receive his full compensation and benefits under this Agreement for a period not to exceed six (6) consecutive months; provided, however, Employee’s base salary from the Company shall be reduced by the amount, if any, of income payments received by Employee as a result of group or individual disability insurance coverage maintained at the cost of the Company.

(g) Automobile Allowance. Employee shall be entitled to an automobile allowance in an amount not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500) per month.

Such shares and options shall vest 1/3 at each anniversary of the grant date and are subject to the terms and conditions contained in a separate stock option agreement and restricted stock agreement.

4. Termination.
 
4.01 Termination by Company for Other Than Cause. If during the term of this Agreement the Company terminates the employment of Employee and such termination is not for Cause then the Company shall pay to Employee an amount equal to the monthly portion of Employee’s Minimum Annual Compensation multiplied by twelve (12) months (the “Severance Period”). If during the term of this Agreement there is a Change of Control resulting in a change of position of Employee’s employment, and if Employee’s annual compensation in his new position shall be less than the Minimum Annual Compensation, then the difference shall be paid to Employee for the balance of the Severance Period. If the Employee’s employment in a new position shall terminate, then for the purposes of this paragraph 4.01, Employee shall be entitled to continuation of the Minimum Annual Compensation until the earlier of the conclusion of the Severance Period or the date when he shall again become reemployed, in which case only the difference shall be payable as aforesaid. If the Employee’s reemployment in a new position shall terminate, Employee shall use his best efforts to become reemployed as soon as reasonable possible in a position consistent with Employee’s experience and stature. Any amounts due hereunder shall be paid at such times and in such manner as the Employee had previously been paid his Minimum Annual Compensation. The payments provided herein are in lieu of any other payments due the Employee hereunder, including but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract.
 
4.02 Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate the employment of Employee for Cause, however, nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of the right of the Employee to challenge the Company’s determination of Cause. Effective as of the date that the employment of Employee terminates for Cause, this Agreement, except for Sections 2.04 through 2.09, shall terminate and no further payments of the Compensation described in Section 3 (except for such remaining payments of Minimum Annual Compensation under Section 3.01 relating to periods during which Employee was employed by the Company, benefits which are required by applicable law to be continued, and reimbursement of prior expenses under Section 3.04) shall be made.
 
4.03 Termination on Account of Employee’s Death.
 
(a) In the event of Employee’s death during the term of this Agreement;
 

 
(1)
This Agreement shall terminate except as provided in this Section; and
 
 
(2)
The Company shall pay to Employee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries (or to his estate if he fails to make such designation) an amount equal to the Employee’s Minimum Annual Compensation as in effect on the date of his death. This amount shall be paid in one lump sum as soon as practicable after the date of his death.
 
(b) Employee may designate one or more beneficiaries for the purposes of this Section by making a written designation and delivering such designation to the Treasurer of the Company. If Employee makes more than one such written designation, the designation last received before Employee’s death shall control.
 
4.04 Termination on Account of Disability. The Company shall have the right to terminate the employment of Employee in case of Disability of the Employee. In such case, the provisions of Section 3.04(c) of this Agreement shall apply and the provisions of Section 4.01 of this Agreement shall not apply, notwithstanding the terms of said Section 4.01.
 
4.05 Benefits Upon Termination. Upon the termination of the Employee’s employment hereunder for Cause, the Employee shall not receive any other benefits except as required by law. In the case of termination without Cause, any health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance and disability insurance coverage provided under the Company’s benefit programs shall be continued for a period of twelve months or such earlier date that the Employee obtains other employment.

5. Miscellaneous.
 
5.01 Assignment. The Company shall have the right to assign all of its rights under this Agreement to any affiliate or to any purchaser of substantially all of the assets of the Company; provided, however, any such assignment shall not release the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such assigns and the Employee. If any such purchaser of substantially all of the assets of the Company is unwilling to accept an assignment of this Agreement and to assume the obligations hereof, then Company shall remain fully liable hereunder notwithstanding the sale of its assets and the resulting cessation of its business operations. The Employee shall have no right to assign or delegate any rights or obligations under this Agreement.
 
5.02 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed for all purposes by the laws of the State of Connecticut.
 
5.03 Interpretation. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.
 

5.04 Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be effective when received and shall be sufficient if in writing and if personally delivered or sent by prepaid cable, telex or registered air mail, return receipt requested, to the party to receive such notice at its address set forth at the end of this Agreement or at such other address as a party may by notice specify to the other.
 
5.05 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or waived except by a writing signed by the party against which such amendment or waiver is to be enforced. The waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate to, or be construed as a waiver of, any other breach of that provision nor as a waiver of any breach of another provision.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:




DrugMax Welcomes James A. Bologa as Chief Financial Officer and James E. Searson as Chief Operating Officer

Jim Bologa to Join DrugMax as New CFO; Current CFO Jim Searson Appointed to COO


Farmington, CT, March 31, 2006 - DrugMax, Inc. (Nasdaq: DMAX) today announced the addition of Jim Bologa to the Company as Chief Financial Officer effective April 13, 2006 while Jim Searson will move from the Chief Financial Officer position to become the Company’s Chief Operating Officer.

“We are delighted to announce this newest addition to our management team and would like to extend our warmest welcome to Mr. Bologa. His extensive background in financial operations and accounting systems will help in providing immediate leadership to our financial team. He will be a dedicated resource on managing our working capital, implementation of enhanced processes and procedures around our growth initiatives and ensure the accurate and timely reporting of operating results and metrics. Mr. Bologa also comes with in-depth experience in mergers and acquisitions which will be critical in helping us manage the acquisition and financing processes. I am confident Mr. Bologa will be instrumental in helping me execute on our financial goals as we strive towards reaching profitability,” said Ed Mercadante, Chairman and CEO of DrugMax.

“I believe DrugMax has successfully completed several key initiatives in 2005 and is now well-positioned to focus on the execution of its future growth plans, and I am excited about the opportunity to be part of it," said Mr. Bologa.
 
Prior to joining DrugMax, Mr. Bologa held the position of Executive Vice President and CFO at Daticon, Inc. His responsibilities included human resources, legal and procurement functions and finance and accounting including financial reporting, treasury, control systems, performance measurement, strategic and financial planning. Prior to that, he served as Vice President and Controller at TranSwitch Corporation, a Nasdaq listed company. He has also held CFO positions at Katerra Corporation, Iroquois Technologies, and Perfecto Holding Corp. Mr. Bologa began his career at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in 1986 where he ended a ten year run as Senior Manager in the Mergers and Acquisition group. Mr. Bologa completed his B.S. in Accounting at Elmira College and is a certified public accountant.

“As we move to a new stage of growth for DrugMax, Jim Searson will assume the important role of COO and focus his efforts on maintaining the highest standards of operational and supply chain management in order to improve our overall gross margin and bottom line. He will manage our day to day operations by maintaining a constant flow of communication across our regional managers, streamline the integration of past and future acquisitions, manage our sales and marketing efforts and ensure that our business operations are on track to meet our operating goals. Jim has been with the Company from the beginning as a board member before becoming CFO and I view his move to the COO position as a natural progression which will allow him to leverage his thorough understanding of our business operations to successfully execute on our strategy. We also have a detailed plan in place to ensure a seamless transition to these roles so we can quickly and fully integrate Jim Bologa into the management team and allow Jim Searson to focus on his COO responsibilities. With these changes, our management team is now focused on implementing our growth strategy to deliver long term shareholder value,” Chairman and CEO Ed Mercadante continued.


 
 

 
 
DrugMax announced financial results for fiscal 2005 on March 30, 2006 and also provided a brief outlook for the year.
