Employment Letter,
(i) you waive any and all exercisability and vesting acceleration provisions currently in effect with respect to your Target Option in connection with the Merger pursuant to any Target plan, stock purchase agreement, option agreement, employment agreement or any other agreement between you and the Target or Target policy (in each case, whether written or oral the “Current Acceleration Benefits”), and (ii) you amend the
Target Option to un-vest the entire portion of such Target Option that had vested, if any, on or prior to the Closing of the Merger, with such Target Option being (A) assumed in connection with the Merger (the “Assumed Option”) and (B) becoming vested and exercisable with respect to 1/24th of the shares of Company common stock subject thereto on the same day of each monthly anniversary of the Closing, subject to your continued
service to the Company through each such date and subject further to the New Acceleration Benefits (as defined below). The New Acceleration Benefits (as defined below) will apply only to your Assumed Option. For the avoidance of doubt, the New Acceleration Benefits (as defined below) will not apply to other new equity awards (including the 2017 Equity Award (as defined below) and 2018 Equity Award (as defined below)) or any other equity you receive from the Company following the Closing of the Merger, other than the acceleration of the First Bonus RSU, Second Bonus RSU and Restricted Stock, as described in Section 6(d) and 6(e) of this Employment Letter. You agree that by signing this Employment Letter you waive all rights to the Current Acceleration Benefits.
| |
8.
| For all purposes under this Employment Letter:
|
(a)
“New Acceleration Benefits” means that provided that any portion of the Assumed Option remains outstanding and unvested upon the date you become entitled to receive the Severance Benefits, you will immediately vest in, or Symantec’s repurchase rights will immediately lapse with respect to, one hundred percent (100%) of unvested shares subject to the Assumed Option.
(b)
“Cause” means with respect to Executive’s termination of employment, any of the following: (i) the conviction, or plea of nolo contendere to a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude, the misappropriation of funds or other material property of the Company, the attempt to willfully obtain any personal profit from any transaction in which the Company has an interest which is adverse to the interests of the Company or any other act of fraud or embezzlement against the Company or any of its customers or suppliers; (ii) reporting to work under the influence of alcohol or drugs or repeatedly using alcohol or illegal drugs or abusing legal drugs, whether or not at the workplace, in such a fashion as could reasonably be expected to cause the Company material harm; (iii) intentional failure to perform duties as reasonably directed by the Company or the Company Board in writing; (iv) any intentional act or intentional omission aiding or abetting a competitor, supplier or customer of the Company to the material disadvantage or detriment of the Company; or (v) gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Company which (if capable of cure) is not cured to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof to Executive; and
(c)
“Good Reason” for Executive to voluntarily terminate his employment relationship with the Company will exist under only the following circumstances: (i) without Executive’s express written consent, a material diminution in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom Executive is required to report (including without limitation, any requirement that Executive report to any person(s) other than the Company Board), or a material diminution in Executive’s duties, authority or responsibilities relative to his duties, authority or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction, or Executive’s removal from such authority, duties and responsibilities, unless he is provided with comparable duties, position and responsibilities that do not represent a material diminution; (ii) without Executive’s express written consent, a material diminution by the Company of his Base Salary and/or Target Annual Bonus as in effect immediately prior to such reduction; (iii) without Executive’s express written consent, a relocation that results in a material change (of not less than an increased one way commute of forty (40) miles) in the geographic location at which Executive must perform his services; or (iv) the Company’s failure to cause this Employment Letter and its obligations hereunder to be expressly assumed (or assumed by operation of law) by its successor in the event of a Change of Control. For Executive to receive the benefits hereunder (or any other agreement that incorporates the Good Reason definition by reference) as a result of a voluntary resignation for Good Reason, all of the following requirements must be satisfied: (1) Executive must provide notice to the Company of his intent to assert Good Reason for resignation within
ninety (90) days of the initial existence of one or more of the conditions set forth in subclauses (i) through (iv); (2) the Company will have thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to remedy the condition and, if it does so, Executive may withdraw his resignation or may resign without Good Reason; and (3) any termination of employment due to resignation for Good Reason must occur within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of one or more of the conditions set forth in subclauses (i) through (iv). Should the Company remedy the condition as set forth above and then one or more of the conditions arises again within two (2) years following the initial occurrence of a condition, then Executive may assert Good Reason again subject to all of the conditions set forth herein.
(d)
“Change of Control” shall mean any transaction or series of transactions (other than the Merger referenced herein) pursuant to which any person(s) or entity(ies) acquire(s) (i) capital stock of the Company possessing over fifty percent (50%) of the voting power (other than voting rights accruing only in the event of a default, breach or event of noncompliance) or the power to elect a majority of the Board (whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, sale or transfer of the Company's capital stock, shareholder or voting agreement, proxy, power of attorney or otherwise).
9.For fiscal year 2017, Executive will be granted an equity award (the “2017 Equity Award”), consisting of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and Performance Stock Units (PSUs), by the Target prior to the Closing for an aggregate number of shares of the Target’s common stock equal to $15,000,000.00 divided by the Target’s per share stock price on the date of such grant as determined by Target, rounded up to the nearest whole share. Those RSUs and/or PSUs will be assumed and converted to Company RSUs and PSUs at the Equity Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on the Closing Date based on the Target common stock value divided by the value of Company’s stock determined, in all cases pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The RSU shall constitute thirty percent (30%) of the 2017 Equity Award and shall vest over a three (3)-year time-based vesting period commencing on the Closing Date with: thirty percent (30%) of such time based portion vesting on the one (1)-year anniversary of the Closing Date, with thirty percent (30%) of such time based portion vesting on the two (2)-year anniversary of the Closing Date, and the remaining forty percent (40%) of such time- based portion vesting on the three (3)-year anniversary of the Closing Date. The PSU shall constitute seventy percent (70%) of the 2017 Equity Award and shall vest based on operating income margin, provided Executive is employed on March 31, 2018. The terms of the 2017 Equity Awards shall be substantially similar to the RSU and PSU grants made to senior Company executives in June of 2016. The 2017 Equity Award shall have customary provisions related to transfers for estate planning purposes. The number of PSUs that will vest and be earned following the end of the Performance Period will range from 0% to 300% of the Target Grant (the applicable vesting percentage, the “Performance Percentage”) as determined by the Company’s Compensation and Leadership Development Committee (the “Committee”), based upon the Company’s achievement of non-GAAP operating income margin during the applicable performance periods as determined by the Committee: 0% if performance is at or below the Threshold Level, 100% if performance is at the Target Level, 200% if performance is at the Excess Target Level, and 300% if performance is at or above the Maximum Level. If the Merger is not consummated for any reason, or if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the 2017 Equity Award will be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration.
10.For fiscal year 2018 and subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company, the Company shall grant Executive an equity award (the “2018 Equity Award”), consisting of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and Performance Stock Units (PSUs) for the Company’s common stock valued in the aggregate at not less than $15,000,000.00 at the time of grant as determined by the Committee. The Committee shall determine what portion of the 2018 Equity Award will consist of time-based vesting and what portion of the
2018 Equity Award will consist of performance-based vesting, including the periods, metrics, and determinations. Details regarding Executive’s 2018 Equity Awards will be provided at the time
Executive receives Executive’s grant. The 2018 Equity Award shall have customary provisions related to transfers for estate planning purposes.
11.Executive will be granted Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) by the Target prior to the Closing for an aggregate number of shares of the Target’s common stock equal to $7,500,000.00 divided by the Target’s per share stock price on the date of such grant as determined by Target (the “First Bonus RSU”), rounded up to the nearest whole share. That First Bonus RSU will be converted to Company RSUs at the Equity Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on the Closing Date based on the Target common stock value divided by the value of Company’s stock determined, in all cases pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The First Bonus RSU shall vest subject to Executive’s continued employment on November 12, 2016. Upon the earliest of a Change of Control of the Company following the Effective Time while Executive is in continued service to the Company, a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company other than for Cause or Executive’s resignation of employment with the Company for Good Reason prior to the vesting of the First Bonus RSU, Executive will fully vest in the First Bonus RSU, subject to Executive’s having executed an effective release of claims in a form provided by the Company and Executive satisfies all conditions to make the Release effective within sixty (60) days of such termination and Executive’s compliance with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement, Confidentiality Agreement, and Non-Competition Agreement. If the Merger is not consummated for any reason, or if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the First Bonus RSU will be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration.
00.Xx addition, Executive will be granted Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) by the Target prior to the Closing for an aggregate number of shares of the Target’s common stock equal to $7,500,000.00 divided by the Target’s per share stock price on the date of such grant as determined by Target (the “Second Bonus RSU”), rounded up to the nearest whole share. That Second Bonus RSU will be converted to Company RSUs at the Equity Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on the Closing Date based on the Target common stock value divided by the value of Company’s stock determined, in all cases pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Second Bonus RSU shall vest subject to Executive’s continued employment on November 12, 2017. Upon the earliest of a Change of Control of the Company following the Effective Time while Executive is in continued service to the Company, a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company other than for Cause or Executive’s resignation of employment with the Company for Good Reason prior to the vesting of the Second Bonus RSU, Executive will fully vest in the Second Bonus RSU, subject to Executive’s having executed an effective release of claims in a form provided by the Company and Executive satisfies all conditions to make the Release effective within sixty (60) days of such termination and Executive’s compliance with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement, Confidentiality Agreement, and Non-Competition Agreement. If the Merger is not consummated for any reason, or if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Second Bonus RSU will be forfeited and cancelled for no consideration.
13.Attached to this Employment Letter as Exhibit A is the Confidentiality Agreement, which must be signed and returned with this Employment Letter. It requires that Executive represent and warrant to us that: 1) Executive is not subject to any terms or conditions that restrict or may restrict Executive’s ability to carry out Executive’s duties for the Company; 2) Executive will not bring with Executive any confidential or proprietary material of any former employer (provided, that, Target and Holdings shall not be considered a former employer for this purpose following the Closing); and 3) Executive will hold in confidence any proprietary information received as an employee of the Company and will assign to us any inventions that Executive makes while employed by the Company. Executive agrees that, during the term of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity
directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during the term of Executive’s employment, nor will Executive engage in any other activities that
conflict with Executive’s obligations to the Company. While Executive renders services to the Company, Executive also will not assist any person or organization in competing with the Company, in preparing to compete with the Company or in hiring any employees or consultants of the Company.
00.Xx the extent (a) any payments or benefits to which Executive become entitled under this Employment Letter, or under any agreement or plan, in connection with Employee’s termination of employment with the Company constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and
(b) Executive is deemed at the time of such termination of employment to be a ‘specified employee’ under Section 409A of the Code, then such payments shall not be made or commence until the earliest of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of Executive’s ‘separation from service’ (as such term is at the time defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 409A of the Code) from the Company; or (ii) the date of Executive’s death following such separation from service; provided, however, that such deferral shall only be effected to the extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to Executive, including (without limitation) the additional twenty percent (20%) tax for which Executive would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code in the absence of such deferral. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this paragraph shall be paid to Executive or Executive’s beneficiary in one lump sum (without interest).
15.Any termination of Executive’s employment is intended to constitute a ‘separation from service’ and will be determined consistent with the rules relating to a ‘separation from service’ as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1. It is intended that each installment of the payments provided hereunder constitute separate ‘payments’ for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A- 2(b)(2)(i). It is further intended that payments hereunder satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemption from the application of Section 409A of the Code (and any state law of similar effect) provided under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (as a ‘short-term deferral’). To the extent that any provision of this Employment Letter is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code.
16.Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit under this Employment Letter is determined to be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in- kind benefit, in one (1) calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
00.Xx the event of Closing, this Employment Letter will supersede and replace: (1) any and all prior oral or written agreements and arrangements between Executive and Company concerning employment and compensation; and (2) any and all prior oral or written agreements and arrangements between Executive and Target concerning employment and compensation, other than the Ancillary Agreements, including any amendments or addendums thereto that provide severance, equity acceleration, retention or other similar benefits; provided that this Employment Letter shall not in any way merge or supersede the Merger Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection with the Merger Agreement or any restrictive covenants that Executive is currently bound by or, following a termination of service from Company, would be subject to in
connection with the business activity of Target or the Company (including the Restrictive Covenants Agreement that is appended to those equity grant documents executed between the Executive and Target, made and entered into as of September 9, 2015, between the Company and Executive, as amended October 1, 2015). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive will remain bound by Target’s Proprietary
Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement signed by Executive, as well as any restrictive covenants including covenants not to solicit or compete set forth in any of the Ancillary Agreements. Executive’s signature below acknowledges Executive’s acceptance of these terms.
18.Executive acknowledges Executive has had the opportunity to engage and consult legal counsel concerning this Employment Letter, that Executive has read and understands this Employment Letter, that Executive is fully aware of its legal effect, and that Executive has entered into it freely based on Executive’s own judgment and not on any representations or promises other than those contained in this Employment Letter.
19.Prior to the Closing of the Merger, the Target shall pay or reimburse all reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the negotiation of this Employment Letter and any other agreements relating to Executive’s employment with the Company, up to a maximum of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000). In the event that either party engages the other party in litigation concerning the enforcement of this Employment Letter, the prevailing party shall be entitled to payment by the non-prevailing party of reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which are incurred in connection therewith.
20.This Employment Letter does not constitute a contract of employment for any specific period of time but creates an “employment at will” relationship. This means that you do not have a contract of employment for any particular duration. You are free to resign at any time. Similarly, the Company is free to terminate your employment at any time for any reason with or without cause. This Employment Letter may be amended at any time only by mutual written agreement of the parties hereto.
21.This Employment Letter shall be construed and interpreted and its performance shall be governed by the laws of the state of
California without regard to conflicts of law principles of any jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Employment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any federal court located in Santa Xxxxx County in the State of
California or any
California state court located in Santa Xxxxx County, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding in any such court or that any such proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.
22.This Employment Letter may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Employment Letter shall be binding upon the respective parties hereto upon the execution and delivery of this Employment Letter by each of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Employment Letter by facsimile transmission or in .pdf format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Employment Letter.

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
SYMANTEC CORPORATION
NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
This Non-Competition Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated June 12, 2016, is made by and between Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx (the “Stockholder”) and Symantec Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Acquirer”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquirer” shall be deemed to include Acquirer and its wholly and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including the Company (as defined below), after the closing of the Merger (as defined below).
BACKGROUND
A.Acquirer and Blue Coat, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), are parties to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated on or about June 12, 2016, (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Acquirer will acquire the Company (the “Merger”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
B.Stockholder beneficially holds a substantial amount of the Company’s capital stock, and he/she will receive substantial consideration as a result of Stockholder’s stock ownership in the Company in connection with the Acquisition.
C.Stockholder understands and agrees as a stockholder and a key and significant member of either the management and/or the technical workforce of the Company, Stockholder has obtained, and as a continuing employee of the Company will continue to obtain, extensive and valuable knowledge, technical expertise and confidential information concerning the Business (as defined below).
E.This Agreement is necessary to protect Acquirer’s legitimate interests as a buyer of the stock and goodwill of the Company. Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder is a material inducement to the willingness of Acquirer to enter into the Merger Agreement and a material condition to Acquirer consummating the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement for the purpose of protecting Acquirer’s legitimate interests as a buyer of the Company and in protecting Acquirer’s confidential information.
F.Acquirer and Stockholder both agree that, prior to the Merger, the Company’s business consisted of the design, development, manufacture, production, marketing and sales of products and services related to the Business throughout each of the fifty states of the United States, Canada and the remainder of the entire world (the “Restrictive Territory”). Acquirer represents and Stockholder understands that, following the Merger, Acquirer will continue conducting the Business in the Restrictive Territory.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Stockholder, intending to be legally bound, agrees as follows:
1.Agreement Not to Compete. During the Restrictive Period (as defined below) and except as otherwise provided herein or unless approved by Acquirer in writing, Stockholder agrees that Stockholder will not, as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, general partner, officer, director, stockholder, investor, lender or guarantor of any corporation, partnership or other entity, or in any other capacity, directly or indirectly for herself/himself or on behalf of any other Person (other than Acquirer or any of its affiliates):
(a)engage or participate in, or acquire any financial or beneficial interest in, any business that competes with the Business in the Restrictive Territory (including without limitation Cisco Systems, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Juniper Networks, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., McAfee, Inc., Trend Micro Incorporated, Endforce, Senforce Incorporated, Inc., Information Express, Vernier Networks and Computer Associates International, Inc.) or (ii) take any action intended to, or that would reasonably be expected to, negatively affect any commercial relationship or prospective commercial relationship of
Acquirer (or any of its affiliates, including the Company) related to the Business; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Stockholder may own (i) up to 1% (solely as a passive investor) of any class of “publicly traded securities” of an entity engaged in the Business and (ii) the current holdings of Stockholder of the capital stock of Anonyome Labs, Inc. (solely as a passive investor), and in each case such ownership will not be prohibited under this Agreement;
(b)permit Stockholder’s name directly or indirectly to be used by or to become associated with any other Person in connection with any business that competes with such Business in the Restrictive Territory; or
(c)induce or assist any other Person to engage in any of the activities described in subparagraph (a) or (b).
“Business” means participating or engaging in, or rendering any services to any business engaged in, the design, research, development, manufacture, operation, production, marketing, sale or servicing of any product, or the provision of any service that relates to network security, secure web gateways, cloud access security, intrusion prevention, anti-phishing, traffic inspection and policy enforcement, endpoint compliance, encrypted traffic management, content and malware detection, analysis and defense, mail threat defense, incident response, analytics and forensics, web application protection, web application firewalls and reverse proxies, cloud data protection, threat intelligence, or network performance optimization.
“Person” means a natural person, corporation, partnership, or other entity, or a joint venture of two or more of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stockholder may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, up to one percent (1%) of any class of “publicly traded securities” of any business that is competitive or substantially similar to the Business. The term “publicly traded securities” shall mean securities that are traded on a national securities exchange.
For purposes of this Agreement, the restrictive period (referred to herein as the “Restrictive Period”) shall commence on the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger and shall continue until the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator, as the case may be, that Stockholder has breached any provision of this Section 1, then, in addition to any remedies set forth in Section 5 or Section 6 below and available under applicable law, the Restrictive Period shall be automatically extended by a number of days equal to the total number of days in the period from the date on which such breach shall have first occurred through the date as of which such breach shall have been fully cured.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall only become effective upon the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and if the Effective Time does not occur, this Agreement shall be null and void.
2.Agreement Not to Solicit. Stockholder further agrees that during the Non-Solicitation Period (as defined below), Stockholder will not as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor, independent
contractor, general partner, officer, director, stockholder, investor, lender or guarantor of any corporation, partnership or other entity, or in any other capacity, directly or indirectly for herself/himself or on behalf of any other Person (other than Acquirer or any of its affiliates) without the prior written consent of Acquirer:
(a)
interfere with the relationship between Acquirer and its employees or consultants or contractors by encouraging, inducing, soliciting or attempting to solicit any such employee or consultant or contractor to terminate his employment or end his or her relationship with Acquirer.
(b)
solicit or attempt to solicit for employment on behalf of Stockholder or any other Person, any Person who is or, within six (6) months prior to such solicitation, was an employee or consultant or contractors of Acquirer;
(c)
induce or assist any other Person to engage in any of the activities described in subparagraphs (a) or (b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, the placement of general advertisements that may be targeted to a particular geographic or technical area but that are not specifically targeted toward employees, consultants, or contractors of Acquirer or its successors or assigns, shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Section 2.
For purposes of this Agreement, the “Non-Solicitation Period” shall commence on the Closing Date and end on the later of (i) three (3) years after the Closing Date or (ii) twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of Stockholder’s relationship with Acquirer, whether Stockholder resigns voluntarily or is terminated for any reason by Acquirer involuntarily (the “Non-Solicitation Period”); provided, however, that in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator, as the case may be, that Stockholder has breached any provision of this Section 2, then, in addition to any remedies set forth in Section 5 or Section 6 below and available under applicable law, the Non-Solicitation Period shall be automatically extended by a number of days equal to the total number of days in the period from the date on which such breach shall have first occurred through the date as of which such breach shall have been fully cured.
3.Agreement Not to Disparage. (i) Stockholder agrees that Stockholder will not, whether orally or in writing, make any disparaging statement or comments, either as fact or as opinion, about the Acquirer or its products and services, business, technologies, market position, agents, representatives, directors, officers, shareholders, attorney’s, employees, vendors, affiliates, successors or assigns, or any person acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them, and (ii) Acquirer agrees that the Acquirer, in its official, public or private statements, will not, and will use its best efforts to ensure that the members of the Board and executive officers shall not, knowingly make any disparaging statement or comments, either as fact or as opinion about Stockholder or about Stockholder’s leadership at the Company or Acquirer.
| |
4.
| Acknowledgment. Stockholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that:
|
(a)
this Agreement is necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of Acquirer in acquiring the Company;
(b)
the execution and delivery and continuation in force of this Agreement is a material inducement to Acquirer to execute the Merger Agreement and is a mandatory condition precedent to the closing of the Merger, without which Acquirer would not close the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;
(c)
the scope of this Agreement in time, geography and types and limitations of activities restricted is reasonable;
(d)
Stockholder has no current intention of competing with the Business acquired by Acquirer within the area and the time limits set forth in this Agreement;
(e)
Stockholder represents and warrants that neither the execution and delivery nor the performance of this Agreement will result directly or indirectly in a violation or breach of any agreement or obligation by which Stockholder is or may be bound, the violation of which would materially impair Stockholder’s ability to perform Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement;
(f)
breach of this Agreement will be such that Acquirer will not have an adequate remedy at law because of the unique nature of the operations and the assets being conveyed to Acquirer; and
(g)
execution of this Agreement shall not limit Acquirer’s employee policies, including without limitation the provisions set forth in Acquirer’s Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).
5.Condition Precedent. Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that his/her strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement is a condition precedent to his receipt of any consideration pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Stockholder further acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach of his obligations under this Agreement, Acquirer shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, be entitled to do one or more of the following:
(a)
withhold from Stockholder any consideration due or owing to Stockholder pursuant to the Merger Agreement until such time as Stockholder has fully cured any such breach(es) to the full satisfaction of Acquirer;
(b)
direct the Escrow Agent to refrain from distributing Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Fund upon the Escrow Release Date;
(c)
in the event that such breach(es) are not curable, (i) repurchase from Stockholder any shares of capital stock of Acquirer (whether vested or unvested) acquired by Stockholder from Acquirer for the lower of the purchase price paid for such shares or the then-current fair market value of such shares, as determined by an outside valuation company and (ii) cancel any outstanding options to purchase, or restricted stock units for, shares of capital stock of Acquirer (whether vested or unvested) held by Stockholder.
6.Remedy. Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that (a) the rights of Acquirer under this Agreement are of a specialized and unique character and that immediate and irreparable damage will result to Acquirer if Stockholder fails to or refuses to perform his obligations under this Agreement and
(b) Acquirer may, in addition to any other remedies and damages available, seek an injunction in a court of competent jurisdiction to restrain any such failure or refusal without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual damages. No single exercise of the foregoing remedies shall be deemed to exhaust Acquirer’s right to such remedies, but the right to such remedies shall continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as often as Acquirer may elect. Stockholder represents and warrants that his expertise and capabilities are such that his obligations under this Agreement (and the enforcement thereof by injunction or otherwise) will not prevent him from earning a livelihood.
7.Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement as applied to any part or to any circumstances shall be adjudged by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any other provision of this Agreement, the application of such provision in any other circumstances, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. Acquirer and Stockholder intend this Agreement to be enforced as written. If any provision, or part thereof, however, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration thereof or the
area covered thereby, all parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases and in its reduced form such provision shall then be enforceable.
8.Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by Acquirer’s duly authorized representative, or his designee, and Stockholder.
9.Waiver. No waiver of any nature, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continued waiver of any breach of any other term or agreement contained in this Agreement.
10.Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
(a)
This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted and its performance shall be governed by the laws of the state of California without regard to conflicts of law principles of any jurisdiction.
(b)
The parties hereto agree that any proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any federal court located in Santa Xxxxx County in the State of California or any California state court located in Santa Xxxxx County, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding in any such court or that any such proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.
00.Xxxxxxxx’s Fees. In the event that either party engages the other party in litigation concerning the enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to payment by the non-prevailing party of reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which are incurred in connection therewith.
