In addition, the Company shall pay you any discretionary bonus that is accrued and unpaid. The Company’s obligation to provide you a severance pay and benefits and the vesting of any unvested stock options, stock grants, and any other deferred compensation as may be set forth above, is conditioned on You executing and delivering to the Company a release of claims acceptable to the Company and such release not having been revoked or breached by you.

 

The then-current Annual Salary to which you may become entitled under this Section 9(a) shall be payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company and will begin at the Company’s next regular payroll period which is at least five business days following the later of the effective date of the release of claims or the date the release is executed and delivered by you. You shall not be entitled to any other salary, compensation or benefits after termination, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement, the Company’s employee benefit plans or as otherwise expressly provided for in any other agreement between the parties or as required by applicable law.

(b). If your employment terminates due to your death or Disability, in addition to the Final Compensation, the Company shall pay you (or, as applicable, your estate) (i) any bonus compensation otherwise payable pursuant to Section 2 for the fiscal year preceding that in which termination occurs that is unpaid on the date of termination; (ii) and all unvested stock options or other grants granted to you become vested. The Company’s obligation to provide you with such payments and the vesting of any unvested stock options or other grants as set forth in the preceding sentence, is conditioned on your or a duly authorized representative of your estate executing and delivering to the Company a release of claims acceptable to the Company and such release becoming effective, and only so long as it has not revoked or breached the provisions of the release or breached the provisions of any non-compete, non-disclosure obligations of you to the Company entered into at the time of employment.

 

(c). If your employment is terminated for any reason other than by the Company without Cause, by you for Good Reason, or due to your death or Disability, you shall only be entitled to Final Compensation and shall not be entitled to any other salary, bonus, compensation or benefits thereafter, except as otherwise specifically provided for under the Company’s employee benefit plans or as otherwise expressly required by applicable law.

(d). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all of your rights to salary, bonuses, employee benefits and other compensation hereunder which would have accrued or become payable after the termination or expiration of your employment shall cease upon such termination or expiration, other than those expressly required under applicable law (such as COBRA).

(e). For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean with respect to you one or more of the following: (i) willful failure to perform your duties (other than any such failure resulting from illness, temporary absence, legal incapacity due to Disability), after reasonable written notice of such failure and an opportunity to correct such failure within thirty (30) days, if correctable; (ii) willful failure to follow reasonable and lawful directives of the CEO or Board of Directors, after reasonable notice of such failure and an opportunity to remedy or cure such conduct within thirty (30) days, if curable; (iii) your conduct which the CEO or Board of Directors in its good faith discretion determines would cause the Company or any of its subsidiaries substantial public disgrace or disrepute or substantial economic harm; (iv) your conviction of an offense involving moral turpitude or any felony; (v) your breach of any material fiduciary duty with respect to the Company which causes the Company demonstrable and material financial harm; (vi) your gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Company resulting in material and demonstrable financeable harm to the Company; or (vii) your material breach of this Agreement, after reasonable notice of such breach and an opportunity to cure such breach within ten (10) business days, if curable. No event or conduct shall constitute Cause for termination unless the Company exercises its right to terminate your employment within 60 days of the discovery by the Company of the occurrence of the underlying event constituting Cause.

 

(f). For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean your inability to perform the essential duties, responsibilities and functions of your position with the Company for a period of 90 consecutive days or for a total of 120 days during any 12-month period as a result of any mental or physical illness, disability or incapacity even with reasonable accommodations for such illness, disability or incapacity provided by the Company or if providing such accommodations would be unreasonable, all as determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable good faith judgment. If any question shall arise as to whether during any period you are disabled through any illness, injury, accident or condition of either a physical or psychological nature so as to be unable to perform substantially all of your duties and responsibilities hereunder, you may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to a medical examination by a physician selected by the Company to whom you have no reasonable objection to determine whether you are so disabled and such determination shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. If such a question arise and you shall fail to submit to such medical examination, the Company’s determination of the issue shall be binding on you.

 

(g). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following without your written consent: (i) the Company reduces the amount of the Base Salary, excluding an identical percentage reduction of the Base Salary conducted as part of a similar reduction applicable to all officers of the Company, (ii) the Company changes your primary place of work to a location that is more than seventy-five (75) miles from your present primary place of work, (iii) the Company changes your title or otherwise reduces your responsibilities in a manner which is materially inconsistent with the positions you hold (including, without limitation, a change in reporting structure such that you no longer report to the CEO), or (iv) the Company materially breaches this Agreement; provided, however, that no event described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) will constitute Good Reason unless (X) Youhas given the Company written notice of the Good Reason objection, setting forth the conduct of the Company that is alleged to constitute Good Reason, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such conduct, (Y) you have provided the Company with thirty (30) days following the date on which such notice is provided to cure such conduct, and the Company has failed to do so, and (Z) You have provided notice of resignation within fourteen (14) days of the lapse of the cure period. Failing such cure, a termination of employment by you for Good Reason would be effective on the date the Company receives the notice of resignation.

Exhibit A

 

CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-COMPETE AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

1.My obligations under this Confidentiality, Non-Compete and Proprietary Rights Agreement (hereafter in this Exhibit A, “Agreement”) are to the Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates, and successors, as such may be from time to time, including a company that in the event of a merger and acquisition (“M&A”) buys the Company’s operations and/or activities in whole or in part (the “Company’s Affiliates”).

 

2.Confidentiality: I will regard and retain as strictly confidential and will not, directly or indirectly, disclose to any third party, or use for any unauthorized purposes either during or at any time after the term of my employment with the Company without limitation regarding time or place, any Confidential Information (as defined below) that I have acquired during my employment or in consequence of my employment or association with the Company or the Company’s Affiliates, without the written consent of an authorized representative of the Company.

 

Confidential Information.” As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all Company information or data disclosed orally, in writing or in electronic format, at any time, and whether or not marked as “confidential” or “proprietary,” which is not generally available to the public, including, but not limited to, the Company’s actual or anticipated business or research and development, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, product plans or other information regarding the Company’s and/or the Company’s Affiliates’ products or services and markets therefor, customer lists and customers, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finance, methods of manufacture, other business information, or other non-public information that a competitor of the Company or a Company Affiliate could use to the competitive disadvantage of the Company or a Company Affiliate. However, Confidential Information shall not include such information or data that:

 

a.I can demonstrate was already lawfully in my possession prior to the time of disclosure;

 

b.Is publicly available or later becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by me or any other party owing a confidentiality or similar obligation to the Company or a Company Affiliate;

I acknowledge that all such Confidential Information is essential commercial and proprietary information of the Company and/or the Company’s Affiliates, or third parties to whom the Company or the Company’s Affiliates owe a duty of confidentiality, is not public information and cannot easily be discovered by others. The confidentiality of the Confidential Information provides the Company and/or the Company’s Affiliates a commercial advantage over its competitors, and the Company is taking reasonable measures to safeguard its confidentiality.

 

3.Return of Confidential Information: All Confidential Information, whether contained in documents, electronic media, magnetic media, servers or otherwise (collectively, the “Documents”), including, but not limited to, notebooks, notes, memoranda, records, diagrams, blueprints, bulletins, formulas, reports, computer programs, other data of any kind coming into my possession or prepared by me or others, are the exclusive property of the Company and/or of the Company’s Affiliates, as the case may be. I agree to return to the Company or, if return is not feasible, destroy all such Documents immediately upon the earlier of: (i) a demand from the Company; or (ii) termination of my employment with the Company. I agree to certify the destruction of all such Documents, in writing, to the Company within ten (10) calendar days of such demand or such termination from employment.

In the event that Company is unable for any reason to secure my signature on any document required to apply for or execute any patent, copyright or other application with respect to any Inventions (including improvements, renewals, extensions, continuations, divisions or continuations in part thereof), after a written demand is made therefore upon me, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on my behalf and instead of myself, to execute and file any such application and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyrights, mask works or other rights thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by myself.

 Page 10 of 11

 

 

 

c.My obligations under this Agreement and the restricted period of time and geographical area specified herein are reasonable and proportional, and do not prevent me from developing my general knowledge and professional expertise in the area of my business, without infringing on or breaching any of the Company’s rights.

15.Survival: If any one or more of the terms contained in this Agreement shall for any reason in any judicial proceeding to be excessively broad with regard to time, geographic scope or activity, the term shall be construed in a manner to enable it to be enforced to the extent compatible with applicable law.
