On February 7, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), AutoInfo, Inc. a Delaware corporation (OTCBB: AUTO) (the “Company”) entered into amended and restated employment agreements (the “Employment Agreements”) with each of Harry Wachtel, William Wunderlich and Michael Williams (the “Named Executive Officers”), for their continued employment with the Company as president and chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief operating officer, respectively.  Upon execution of the Employment Agreements, the Named Executive Officers’ preexisting employment agreements with the Company along with all rights and obligations of the parties thereunder were immediately terminated.  The three Employment Agreements are substantially identical and provide inter alia, as follows:
 
Term:  The terms of the Employment Agreements expire on December 31, 2015, subject to earlier termination as provided therein.
 
Base Salary:  $250,000, $175,000 and $205,000 per annum, for Harry Wachtel, William Wunderlich and Michael Williams, respectively, payable in accordance with the Company’s then prevailing payroll policy.
 
Annual Bonus:  The Employment Agreements for Messrs. Wachtel and Wunderlich provide for an annual bonus equal to 10% of the Company’s first $1,250,000 of Operating Profit (as defined therein)  plus an additional 5% of any Operating Profit in excess of $1,250,000; provided, however, the total annual aggregate salary and bonus payable to Mr. Wachtel and Mr. Wunderlich are limited to a maximum of $750,000 and $675,000, respectively.
 
The Employment Agreement for Mr. Williams provides for an annual bonus equal to 2% of the Company’s first $3,000,000 of Operating Profit plus an additional: (i) three percent (3%) of any Operating Profit in excess of $3,000,000 but less than or equal to $4,000,000; (ii) four percent (4%) of any Operating Profit in excess of $4,000,000 but less than or equal to $5,000,000; and (iii) five percent (5%) of any Operating Profit in excess of $5,000,000; provided, however, the total annual aggregate salary and bonus payable to Mr. Williams is limited to a maximum of $485,000.
 
Change in Control Payments: The Employment Agreements provide that in  the event of a Change in Control (as defined therein) of the Company, Messrs. Wachtel, Wunderlich and Williams shall each receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to one and one-half times the respective Named Executive Officer’s Base Compensation (as defined therein), plus one and one-half times of his average Annual Bonus for the prior two years.  Further, upon a Change in Control, the Company may, within a specified period, terminate the named Executive Officer’s employment with the Company without further liability to the Named Executive Officer other than with respect to the provision of continued medical coverage through December 31, 2015.
 
Incentive Compensation:  The Named Executive Officers are eligible to receive bonuses, to be determined at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and payable in accordance with the Company’s then prevailing policy.
 
Benefits.  During the employment Term, each individual is entitled to participate in any retirement plans, pension, insurance, health, disability or other benefit plan or program that is maintained by the Company.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the respective Employment Agreements which are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 hereto.  Further, all terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed in the Employment Agreements.
