SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.11
This Separation and Release Agreement (“Agreement”) is dated February 15, 2024, and entered into between Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx (“you”) and CEREBRAS SYSTEMS, INC. (“Company”). You and the Company (together, the Parties) agree as follows:
1. Separation of Employment Relationship: Your employment relationship with the Company will terminate effective on March 15, 2024 (the “Separation Date”). You will no longer be authorized to transact business or incur any expenses, obligations and liabilities on behalf of the Company after the Separation Date.
2. Acknowledgements: You acknowledge that the Company relied on the following representations by you in entering into this Agreement:
a. You acknowledge that you do not have a claim of unlawful discrimination; retaliation; harassment; sexual harassment, abuse, assault, alleged criminal conduct, or other alleged unlawful employment practices or unlawful conduct against the Company or any of the Released Parties (as defined below).
b. You have received all compensation due to you through the Separation Date as a result of services performed for the Company with the receipt of your final paycheck, including reimbursement for any estimated overpayment of deductions made for voluntary life insurance premiums, and accrued vacation.
c. You have reported to the Company any and all work-related injuries or occupational illnesses incurred by you during employment with the Company.
d. The Company properly provided any leave of absence because of your or your family member’s health condition or military service and you have not been subjected to any improper treatment, conduct or actions due to a request for or taking such leave.
e. You have had the opportunity to provide the Company with written notice of any and all concerns regarding suspected ethical and compliance issues or violations on part of the Company.
3. Consideration: By signing below, you acknowledge that you are receiving all separation compensation and benefits outlined in this Section 3 in consideration for waiving your rights to claims referred to in this Agreement and that you would not otherwise be entitled to the separation compensation.
x. Xxxxxxxxx Payment. In return for your promises in this Agreement, and provided that you sign and return this Agreement and do not revoke it, the Company will make a onetime severance payment to you equivalent to six (6) months of your annual salary and 50% of your annual bonus, in the gross amount of two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars ($225,000) (the “Severance Payment”) to be paid in the March 15th payroll. Amounts the Company is paying in consideration for the Agreement will be
- 1 -
treated as taxable compensation but are not intended by either party to be treated, and will not be treated, as compensation for purposes of eligibility or benefits under any benefit plan of the Company. All payments in this Agreement are subject to all applicable federal, state and/or local withholding and/or payroll taxes; thus, Company will make deductions, withholdings and tax reports that it reasonably and in good faith determines are required. Please note that the Severance Payment you receive will be net of any such deductions or withholdings. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require Company to make any payments to compensate you for any adverse tax effect associated with any payments, benefits, stock options or for any deduction or withholding from any payment.
b. COBRA. In return for your promises in this Agreement, and provided that you sign and return this Agreement and do not revoke it, and upon your timely election to continue your existing health benefits under COBRA, and consistent with the terms of COBRA and the Company’s health insurance plan, your COBRA benefits will be extended for thirty six (36) months from your Separation Date (“COBRA Coverage Period”). During the first twenty-four (24) months of your COBRA Coverage Period, the premiums will be paid by the Company (the “Company Coverage Period”), but you will be responsible for any and all co-pays and deductibles. At the end of the Company Coverage Period, during the remaining twelve (12) months of the COBRA Coverage Period, you will be entirely responsible for paying all premiums, as well as any and all co-pays and deductibles. Subject to the above, medical, dental and vision insurance coverage, if any, shall be continued only to the extent required by COBRA and only to the extent you timely fully pay the premium payments yourself after the Company Coverage Period. You understand that if you choose not to sign this Agreement, the Company will cease contributing to the cost of your health insurance premiums on your Separation Date and that, thereafter, you will be responsible for paying 100% of your COBRA premiums.
c. Accelerated Vesting of Stock Options. In return for your promises in this Agreement, and provided that you sign and return this Agreement and do not revoke it, the Company agrees to automatically accelerate vesting of all outstanding stock options granted to you by the Company to purchase Company common stock and any restricted stock, restricted stock units or other equity interest in the Company. Except as otherwise set forth below, your rights concerning any and all vested options will continue to be governed by the Stock Option Agreements in place between you and Company.
d. Extension of Stock Option Exercise Period. You acknowledge that you have requested the Company to extend the Post-Termination Exercise Period of your vested incentive stock options, and understand the tax consequence of such request. In return for your promises in this Agreement, and provided that you sign and return this Agreement and do not revoke it, the Company shall extend the exercise period for any vested employee stock option(s) as of your Separation Date for (12) months for your option grant priced at $5.02, and eighteen (18) months for your option grant
- 2 -
priced at $7.89. Because your employment is terminating on the Separation Date, none of your unvested shares can ever vest. Except for the extension to your exercise period as set forth in this Section 3.c. your rights concerning any and all vested options will continue to be governed by the Stock Option Agreements in place between you and Company.
I UNDERSTAND THAT TO THE EXTENT ANY OF MY VESTED OPTIONS QUALIFIED AS “INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS,” THE EXTENSION OF THE POSTTERMINATION EXERCISE PERIOD THEREOF (AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION 3.c), WILL BE A MODICATION OF SUCH INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS, WILL DISQUALIFY THE OPTIONS AS INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS AND SHALL RESULT IN MY HAVING NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS. I ALSO AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MEANS THAT WHEN I EXERCISE MY VESTED OPTIONS THAT THE SPREAD BETWEEN THE THEN FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE UNDERLYING SHARES AND THE EXERCISE PRICE OF MY VESTED OPTIONS WILL BE ORDINARY INCOME THAT WILL BE REPORTED TO ME AS WAGES ON MY W-2 FOR THE YEAR IN WHICH THE EXERCISE OCCURS AND THAT I MUST MAKE ARRANGEMENTS SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY FOR THE COLLECTION OF ANY TAX WITHHOLDING AS A RESULT OF THE EXERCISE AND AS A CONDITION TO THE COMPANY HAVING TO RESPECT THE EXERCISE AND DELIVER SHARES TO ME. I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE COMPANY WILL DETERMINE IN GOOD FAITH WHAT THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE UNDERLYING SHARES IS AT THE TIME OF EXERCISE AND I AGREE TO ACCEPT THE COMPANY’S DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE AT THAT TIME WITH RESPECT TO THE AMOUNT OF TAX WITHHOLDING THAT IS DUE IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE.
e. Waiver of ROFR. You acknowledge that you have requested the Company waive its Right of First Refusal for all third party stock sales which is set forth in the applicable Company Stock Purchase Agreement (“ROFR”). In return for your promises in this Agreement, and provided that you sign and return this Agreement and do not revoke it, Company agrees to waive the ROFR. In addition, the Company agrees to waive any transaction fees charged by the Company arising from the sale of your shares in the Company in the secondary market, prior to any Company IPO.
4. Full and Final Release: In exchange for the severance benefits provided by the Company under Section 3 of this Agreement, you, for yourself personally and your representatives, spouse, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, fully, finally and forever release and discharge the Company and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and related entities, as well as their respective successors, assigns, officers, owners, directors, agents, representatives, attorneys, insurers, and employees, shareholders, members and managers (Released Parties), of and from all claims and potential claims that may legally be waived by private agreement, whether known or unknown, which you have asserted or could assert against the Company arising out of or
- 3 -
relating in any way to acts, circumstances, facts, transactions, or omissions based on facts occurring up to and including the date you sign this Agreement. Specifically included in this waiver and release are, among other things, claims of unlawful discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or failure to accommodate; related to terms and conditions of employment; for compensation or benefits; and/or for wrongful termination of employment, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act, and as applicable depending upon the jurisdiction where you were employed, any analogous state laws related to your employment including state fair employment or anti-discrimination laws, wages payment or minimum wage laws, equal pay acts, paid or unpaid family and medical leave laws, and any amendments to such laws, or any other federal, state or local statute, constitution, charter, rule, ordinance, regulation or order [or those of any other county], as well as claims in equity or under the common law for tort, breach of contract (express or implied, written or oral), wrongful discharge, defamation, emotional distress, and negligence or other unlawful behavior.
As an employee residing in the state of California, then you are releasing all rights under section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides:
A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that, if known by him or her would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
5. Non-Admission: You understand and agree that the release and accord and satisfaction set forth in Section 4 constitute a final compromise of the claims released thereby, and is not an admission by the Released Parties that any such claims exist and/or of liability by the Released Parties with respect to such claims. Nothing in this Agreement, nor any of its terms and provisions, nor any of the negotiations or proceedings connected with it, constitutes, will be construed to constitute, will be offered in evidence as, received in evidence as and/or deemed to be evidence of an admission of liability or wrongdoing by any and/or all of the Released Parties, and any such liability or wrongdoing is hereby expressly denied by each of the Released Parties. The release and the accord and satisfaction in Section 4 are, however, and may be asserted by any one or more of the Released Parties as an absolute and final bar to any suit or proceeding brought by you against any one or more of the Released Parties; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent an action for breach of this Agreement itself.
