7.5 Federal Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the Code.
(a) Additional Payment. In the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (collectively, the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any similar or successor provision (the “Excise Tax”), Company shall pay to Executive within ninety (90) days of the date Executive becomes subject to the Excise Tax, an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by Executive from the Payments and the Gross-Up Payment, after deduction of (1) any Excise Tax on the Payments and (2) any federal, state and local income or employment tax and Excise Tax upon the payment provided for by this Section, shall be equal to the Payments.
(b) Determination of Excise Tax. For purposes of determining whether any of the Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax:
(i) Any payments or benefits received or to be received by Executive in connection with transactions contemplated by a Change of Control (as defined below) event or Executive’s termination of employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with Company), shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or any similar or successor provision, and all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or any similar or successor provision shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of tax counsel (“Tax Counsel”) selected by Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive such payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments, or such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any similar or successor provision of the Code) in excess of the base amount within the
-4-
meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any similar or successor provision of the Code), or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax.
(ii) The amount of the Payments which shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the total amount of the Payments or (ii) the amount of the excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (after applying paragraph (b)(1) above).
(iii) The value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by Tax Counsel in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the Code.
(iv) Change of Control. A “Change of Control” is defined as any one of the following occurrences:
a) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities of Company under an employee benefit plan of Company, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of the securities of Company representing 50% or more of (A) the outstanding shares of common stock of Company or (B) the combined voting power of Company’s then-outstanding securities; or
b) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of Company’s assets (or any transaction having similar effect is consummated); or
c) Company is party to a merger or consolidation that results in the holders of voting securities of Company outstanding immediately prior thereto failing to continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or
d) a liquidation or dissolution of Company.
(c) Determination of Gross-Up Payment. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of Executive’s residence on the date the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.
(d) Adjustments.
(i) In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder, Executive shall repay to Company at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal, state and local income and employment taxes imposed on the Gross-Up Payment being repaid by Executive if such repayment results in a
-5-
reduction in Excise Tax and/or a federal, state or local income or employment tax deduction) plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code.
(ii) In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), Company shall make an additional gross-up payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest payable with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined.
7.6 Termination of Employment. In the event that Executive’s employment with Company is terminated for any reason, this Agreement shall terminate effective immediately. All Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished; provided however, that subject to Executive’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, Company’s obligations pursuant to Sections 7.2, 7.3 and 7.5 herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
8. No Conflict of Interest. During the term of Executive’s employment with Company, Executive must not engage in any work, paid or unpaid, that creates an actual or potential conflict of interest with Company. If the Board reasonably believes such a conflict exists during the term of this Agreement, the Board may ask Executive to choose to discontinue the other work or resign employment with Company.
9. Post-Termination Non-Competition.
9.1 Consideration For Promise To Refrain From Competing. Executive agrees that Executive’s services are special and unique, that Company’s disclosure of confidential, proprietary information and specialized training and knowledge to Executive, and that Executive’s level of compensation and benefits, including, without limitation, the severance payments provided for in this Agreement, are partly in consideration of and conditioned upon Executive not competing with Company. Executive acknowledges that such consideration is adequate for Executive’s promises contained within this Section 9.
9.2 Promise To Refrain From Competing. Executive understands Company’s need for Executive’s promise not to compete with Company is based on the following: (a) Company has expended, and will continue to expend, substantial time, money and effort in developing its proprietary information; (b) Executive will in the course of Executive’s employment develop, be personally entrusted with and exposed to Company’s proprietary information; (c) both during and after the term of Executive’s employment, Company will be engaged in the highly competitive enterprise software industry; (d) Company provides products and services nationally and internationally; and (e) Company will suffer great loss and irreparable harm if Executive were to enter into competition with Company. Therefore, in exchange for the consideration described in Section 9.1 above, Executive agrees that for the period of two (2) years following the date Executive ceases to render services to Company (the “Covenant Period”), Executive will not either directly or indirectly, whether as an owner, director, officer, manager, consultant, agent or employee: (i) work for any of the following companies or any entity that succeeds to any part of the business of any of the following Companies that is in competition with Company: SAS, Inc., Micro Strategies Incorporated, Evant Inc., NSB Retail Systems PLC, Oracle Inc., SAP AG or SVI Holdings, Inc. (each a “Restricted Business”); or (ii) make or hold any investment in any Restricted Business, whether such investment be by way of loan, purchase of stock or otherwise, provided that there
-6-
shall be excluded from the foregoing the ownership of not more than 1% of the listed or traded stock of any publicly held corporation. For purposes of this Section 9, the term “Company” shall mean and include Company, any subsidiary or affiliate of Company, any successor to the business of Company (by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or stock or otherwise) and any other corporation or entity of which Executive may serve as a director, officer or employee at the request of Company or any successor of Company.
9.3 Reasonableness of Restrictions. Executive represents and agrees that the restrictions on competition, as to time, geographic area, and scope of activity, required by this Section 9 are reasonable, do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and business interests of Company, and are not unduly burdensome to Executive. Executive expressly acknowledges that Company competes on an international basis and that the geographical scope of these limitations is reasonable and necessary for the protection of Company’s trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information. Executive further agrees that these restrictions allow Executive an adequate number and variety of employment alternatives, based on Executive’s varied skills and abilities. Executive represents that Executive is willing and able to compete in other employment not prohibited by this Agreement.
9.4 Reformation if Necessary. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the geographic area, duration, or scope of activity of any restriction under this Section 9 and its subsections is unenforceable, the restrictions under this section and its subsections shall not be terminated but shall be reformed and modified to the extent required to render them valid and enforceable. Executive further agrees that the court may reform this Agreement to extend the Covenant Period by an amount of time equal to any period in which Executive is in breach of this covenant.
10. Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights. Executive agrees to read, sign and abide by Company’s Employee Innovations and Proprietary Rights Assignment Agreement, which was previously executed by Executive and incorporated herein by reference.
11. Nonsolicitation.
11.1 Nonsolicitation of Customers or Prospects. Executive acknowledges that information about Company’s customers is confidential and constitutes trade secrets. Accordingly, Executive agrees that during the period in which he is rendering services to Company and for a period of two (2) years after the termination of his employment with Company, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, separately or in association with others, interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage Company’s relationship with any of its customers or customer prospects by soliciting or encouraging others to solicit any of them for the purpose of diverting or taking away business from Company.
11.2 Nonsolicitation of Company’s Employees. Executive agrees that during the period in which he is rendering services to Company and for a period of two (2) years after the termination of his employment with Company, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, separately or in association with others, interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage Company’s business by soliciting, encouraging, hiring or attempting to hire any of Company’s employees or causing others to solicit or encourage any of Company’s employees to discontinue their employment with Company. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, (a) the Executive may give references for employees and tell headhunters the names of employees of Company, in either event, where the Executive is aware that the employee has been identified by Company as not being part of its long-term plans after a Change of Control; and (b) the restrictions contained in
-7-
this section shall not apply to former employees of the Company where at least a six-month period has elapsed between the final date of a former employee’s employment and the date Executive engages in the activities described in this section..
12. Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that Executive’s breach of the covenants contained in Sections 9-11 (collectively “Covenants”) would cause irreparable injury to Company and agrees that in the event of any such breach, Company shall be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security.
13. Agreement to Arbitrate. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Executive and Company agree to arbitrate any controversy, claim or dispute between them arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement, the employment relationship between Company and Executive and any disputes upon termination of employment, including but not limited to breach of contract, tort, discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, demotion, discipline, failure to accommodate, family and medical leave, compensation or benefits claims, constitutional claims; and any claims for violation of any local, state or federal law, statute, regulation or ordinance or common law. Claims for breach of Company’s Employee Innovations and Proprietary Rights Agreement, workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance benefits and Company’s right to obtain injunctive relief pursuant to Section 12 above are excluded. For the purpose of this agreement to arbitrate, references to “Company” include all parent, subsidiary or related entities and their employees, supervisors, officers, directors, agents, pension or benefit plans, pension or benefit plan sponsors, fiduciaries, administrators, affiliates and all successors and assigns of any of them, and this Agreement shall apply to them to the extent Executive’s claims arise out of or relate to their actions on behalf of Company.
13.1 Initiation of Arbitration. Either party may exercise the right to arbitrate by providing the other party with written notice of any and all claims forming the basis of such right in sufficient detail to inform the other party of the substance of such claims. In no event shall the request for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claims would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
13.2 Arbitration Procedure. The arbitration will be conducted in Maricopa county, Arizona, by a single neutral arbitrator and in accordance with the then current rules for resolution of employment disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The parties are entitled to representation by an attorney or other representative of their choosing. The arbitrator shall have the power to enter any award that could be entered by a judge of the trial court of the State of Arizona, and only such power, and shall follow the law. The parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
