Executive Employment Agreement - Manhattan Associates Inc. and Richard M. Haddrill

Employment Forms

  • Employment Agreement. Employers can customize an employment agreement that states the salary, benefits, working hours and other important provisions for their new or existing employee.
  • Consulting Agreement. Answer simple questions to build a contract with a consultant. Specify the services rendered, when payment is due, as well as IP rights.
  • Commission Agreement. Employers who compensate their sales employees based on commissions can prepare an agreement to reduce misunderstandings by specifying the base salary and how commissions are calculated.
  • Executive Employment Agreement. Companies may offer their business executives a contract that is different from the one provided to their regular employees. Executive employment agreements may be more complex because the compensation structure may include a combination of salary and commissions, provide for bonuses based on sales, stock or other financial targets, and include non-compete, confidentiality and severance provisions.
  • Sales Representative Contract. Independent sales representatives offer companies the potential to increase the sale of products or services without the burden of increasing headcount. Both parties should understand how commissions are calculated, when commissions will be paid, as well as how the representative will treat confidential information from the company and whether the representative may also sell a competing line of products or services.

                               THIRD MODIFICATION

         The purpose of this Executive Employment Agreement Third Modification
(the "Third Modification") is to modify and amend the Executive Employment
Agreement by and between Manhattan Associates, Inc, a Georgia corporation (the
"Company"), and Richard M. Haddrill (the "Executive") that was entered into the
11th day of October 1999 (the "Agreement"), as modified by the Executive
Employment Agreement Modification effective as of July 19, 2001 (the "First
Modification") and the Executive Employment Agreement Second Modification
effective as of November 10, 2003 (the "Second Modification" and, collectively
with the Agreement and the First Modification, the "Amended Agreement"). This
Third Modification shall be effective as of the date of execution. In the event
of a conflict between this Third Modification and the Amended Agreement, the
terms of this Third Modification shall control. Capitalized terms not defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Amended Agreement.

         WHEREAS, the Executive currently serves as President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and the parties wish to modify their

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

         1.       Employment and Duties; Term. This section supersedes Paragraph
1.A. and Paragraph 2. of the Second Modification. The Company shall continue to
employ the Executive as President and Chief Executive Officer through March 31,
2004 and as Chief Executive Officer from April 1 through June 30, 2004. On July
1, 2004 the Executive shall become employed by the Company as Vice Chairman. The
Executive shall serve the Company as Vice Chairman through January 1, 2005, and
thereafter at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Executive hereby
accepts such employment on the terms set forth herein and in the Amended
Agreement as modified hereby, and acknowledges that neither such employment nor
the other terms hereof constitute Constructive Termination. For so long as the
Executive is employed by the Company as Vice Chairman, subject to the discretion
of the Board of Directors, the Executive shall be responsible for assisting in
the development of the Company's long range business strategies and plans,
including those related to the Company's financial and capital structure,

Financial Officer with respect to the planning and conduct of the Company's
quarterly earnings releases and related analysts calls and otherwise use his
reasonable best efforts to insure the successful transition of the active
management of the Company to the new Chief Executive Officer. The Executive
shall continue to report to the Board of Directors during the term of his
employment. During the term of Executive's service as Vice Chairman hereunder,

Modification, (i) the options to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's common
stock that were granted to the Executive on October 23, 2002 and (ii) the
options to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock that were
granted to the Executive on July 19, 2001 shall continue to vest in accordance
with the vesting schedule of such grants, regardless of the cessation of the
Executive's employment as President on March 31, 2004 and as Chief Executive
Officer on June 30, 2004. Such options shall remain subject to forfeiture upon a
termination of Executive's employment for Cause or by Executive until January 1,
2005, at which time such options shall be fully vested.

of the Agreement, Paragraph 2.B. of the First Modification and Paragraph 3.C. of
the Second Modification. Provided that the Executive continues to serve as
President of the Company through March 31, 2004 and as Chief Executive Officer
of the Company through June 30, 2004, the Executive shall be entitled to receive
a bonus, which shall be paid by the Company in January 2005, equal to the
greater of (i) 0.75% of the Company's pre-tax operating income for the year
ended December 31, 2004, or (ii) 1.5% of the Company's pre-tax operating income
for the six months ending June 30, 2004. For purposes of this paragraph, pre-tax
operating income shall exclude non-recurring or unusual charges or extraordinary
items (as defined by generally accepted accounting principles). Such performance
bonus shall remain subject to forfeiture upon a termination of Executive's
employment for Cause or by Executive.

                  D. Compensation as Vice Chairman. Notwithstanding anything
else contained in the Amended Agreement or herein, except for the vesting of
Executive's options as provided in Section 2.B. above and the performance bonus

rated), $1,500 per meeting attended, quarterly grant of nonqualified options to
purchase 5,000 shares on the first business day of each quarter, and expenses
for attending meetings).

         3.       Miscellaneous. Except as hereby modified and amended, the
Amended Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Except to the extent
preempted by federal law, and without regard to conflict of laws principles,
this Third Modification shall be construed, governed by and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. This Third Modification may be
executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
