to Section 5.9:
(i) the Company shall pay to the Employee, in a lump sum within five (5) business days
following the date the Release described in Section 5.10 becomes irrevocable, a cash severance
benefit equal to the Employee’s annual Base Compensation immediately preceding the date of the
Notice of Termination resulting in the Qualifying Termination; and
(ii) The Company shall continue to provide Employee health, dental and disability insurance at
the Company’s cost for a period of one (1) year following the Date of
11
EXECUTION COPY
Termination. After such one
(1) year period the Company shall, at Employee’s option, transfer to the Employee any disability
insurance policy in place for the benefit of Employee, which thereafter will be maintained by the
Employee at his cost; and
(iii) all restrictions on any restricted stock or similar awards held by the Employee on the
Date of Termination shall lapse, and all options or other similar equity awards held by the
Employee on the Date of Termination which were not otherwise vested as of the Date of Termination,
other than 125,000 of the then unvested number of shares of common stock underlying such stock
options at such date as provided in clause (iv) below, shall become immediately vested and may be
exercised by the Employee for the remaining term of such awards as if the Employee’s employment had
not been terminated; and
(iv) from and after the Date of Termination and for a period of 15 months thereafter, the
Employee shall provide transitional consulting services to the Company of up to 10 hours per month.
The Employee shall provide such consulting services in such manner and at such times as are
mutually agreed to by the Company and the Employee. The Company will reimburse the Employee for
his out of pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with providing such consulting
services. As the sole compensation for providing such consulting services, 125,000 of the stock
options held by the Employee on the Date of Termination which were not otherwise vested as of the
Date of Termination shall continue to vest on a monthly basis at a rate of 8,333.33 shares per
month on the first day of each calendar month during such 15 month period, subject to the
Employee’s continuing to provide such consulting services to the Company. This consulting
relationship shall not be deemed to delay or alter in any respect the Date of Termination of the
Employee’s employment or to alter, expand or extend in any respect the Employee’s confidentiality
or intellectual property rights and obligations set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement or
as set forth in the Employee’s Non-Competition Agreement.
5.9 Timing of Payments.
(a) All Accrued Compensation required to be paid to Employee (or his beneficiaries or heirs)
shall be paid by the Company within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination or by such
earlier date as may be required by applicable law.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision with respect to the timing of payments under this
Section 5, to the extent any benefit under this Agreement is subject to Section 409A of the Code,
(i) subject to clause (ii), such benefit payment shall be paid upon the Employee’s “separation from
service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and any successor statute, regulation and
guidance thereto) with respect to the Company, and (ii) if, at the date of “separation from
service”, the Employee is deemed to be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Code, and any successor statute, regulation and guidance thereto) of the Company, then only
to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, any benefit
payments to which the Employee may become entitled under this Section 5 which are subject to
Section 409A of the Code (and not otherwise exempt from its application) will be withheld until the
first business day of the seventh month following the Employee’s “separation from service”, at
which time the Employee shall be paid an
aggregate amount equal to six months of payments otherwise due to the Employee under the terms of
this Section 5, as applicable. After the first business day of the seventh month
12
EXECUTION COPY
following the
Employee’s “separation from service” and continuing each month thereafter, the Employee shall be
paid the regular benefit payments otherwise due to the Employee in accordance with the terms of
this Section 5, as applicable.
5.10 Effect of Code Section 280G. To the extent Code Section 280G is applicable to
payments made or to be made by the Company to the Employee, if it is determined that the amounts
paid or payable to the Employee under the Agreement, when considered together with any amounts paid
or payable to the Employee in connection with a Change in Control, will cause such payments to be
treated as excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then the
payments to be made by the Company under this Agreement shall be reduced to the extent necessary to
cause the payments made or to be made by the Company not to be excess parachute payments, but such
reductions shall be made only if the Employee shall receive, on a net after-tax basis taking into
account all taxes (including income taxes, employment taxes and any excise tax), a greater
aggregate amount from the payments made or to be made by the Company as a result of such
reductions. The independent public accountants for the Company immediately prior to the Change in
Control shall determine whether such reductions shall be made and the amounts of any such
reductions, and the Company shall bear the fees and expenses of such independent public
accountants. In the event the Employee receives such excess parachute payments, the Company shall
pay to the Employee an additional amount equal to the lesser of (a) 50% of the excise taxes
incurred by the Employee under Code Section 4999 on such excess parachute payments, and (b)
$500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand Dollars).
5.11. Release. As a condition to the Employee’s receipt of any post-termination
benefits described in this Agreement, the Employee shall execute a Release (the “Release”)
in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, and such Release shall have become irrevocable in
accordance with its terms. Such Release shall specifically relate solely to the Employee’s rights
and claims in existence at the time of such execution which arise out of the Employee’s employment
by the Company and his termination of employment, and shall exclude (1) any rights and claims the
Employee may have other than as an employee, such as in his capacity as a shareholder, and (2) any
continuing obligations the Company may have to the Employee following the Date of Termination under
this Agreement or any other agreement providing for obligations to survive the Employee’s
termination of employment.
5.12. Resignation as Director. The Employee agrees that if, at the time of his
termination of employment with the Company for any reason, he is then a member of the Board, he
shall offer to the Board to resign as a member of the Board, and if such offer of resignation is
accepted by the Board, he shall immediately resign as a member of the Board.
6. PROTECTED INFORMATION.
Throughout the Employee’s employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and thereafter,
the Employee shall maintain in confidence and will not, without the prior written consent of the
Company, except in the course of performance of his duties for the Company or as required by
subpoena or court order, use, disclose or give to others any Confidential Information. As the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Employee has the authority to make such use
and/or disclosure, in his sole discretion, without the prior written consent of the Company as long
as such use and/or disclosure is in the course of performance of his duties for the Company.
13
EXECUTION COPY
Upon
the termination of the Employee’s employment, he will return to the Company all tangible
Confidential Information and copies thereof (regardless how such Confidential Information or copies
are maintained), except that the Employee shall be allowed to keep a full copy of any and all
electronic mail sent or received by the Employee as provided in Section 7.3 below. Anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, both during and after the termination of Employee’s employment,
the Employee shall be free to use, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit, his use,
for any purpose, of Residuals, whether or not obtained from access to or work with Confidential
Information.
7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
7.1 Assignment of Intellectual Property. Employee agrees, during his employment
pursuant to this Agreement and thereafter, to assign and transfer to the Company all of his right,
title and interest in all Intellectual Property prepared, made or conceived by the Employee
(whether solely or jointly with others) during the period of his employment by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries.
7.2 Exclusions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to give the Company any
proprietary or other rights to any Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, and Trade Secrets that the
Employee has prepared, made or conceived, or hereafter prepares, makes or conceives which (i) was
not actually put in use or designed into products or planned products of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries prior to the Employment Commencement Date or during the Employee’s employment pursuant
to this Agreement, or (ii) was not prepared, made or conceived by the Employee in the course of
performing services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company’s Business,
or (iii) was developed by the Employee in the course of his Permitted Outside Activities; and any
and all proprietary and other rights to any such invention, discovery, improvement, idea, work, or
design shall belong solely to the Employee. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
to give the Company or its Subsidiaries any right to, nor to limit or in any way restrict the
Employee’s ability to use, Residuals during or after the termination of Employee’s employment
pursuant to this Agreement.
7.3 Electronic Mail. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but
subject to Section 6, Employee shall have the right to keep, during or after the termination of the
Employee’s employment, a full copy of any and all electronic mail sent or received by Employee.
8. ARBITRATION
8.1. Remedy. The parties recognize that litigation in federal or state courts or
before federal or state administrative agencies of disputes arising out of the Employee’s
performance of services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or out of this Agreement, with
the exception of any dispute relating to the Intellectual Property, may not be in the best
interests of either the Employee or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and may result in
unnecessary costs, delays, complexities, and uncertainty. The parties agree that any dispute
between the parties arising out of or relating to the Employee’s performance of services, or to the
negotiation, execution, performance or termination of this Agreement or the Employee’s
performance of services, including, but not limited to, any claim arising out of this
Agreement, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Civil Rights Act
of 1991,
14
EXECUTION COPY
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990, Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1966, as amended, the Family Medical Leave Act, and
any similar federal, state or local law, statute, or regulation to the extent that arbitration is
permitted under such law, statute, regulation or any common law doctrine, whether that dispute
arises during or after the termination of Employee’s employment by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, with the exception of any dispute relating to the Intellectual Property, shall be
resolved by arbitration held in the Washington, DC metropolitan area (unless the Employee has
relocated to the San Diego, California metropolitan area, in which case the arbitration shall be
conducted in that area), in accordance with the National Employment Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association, as modified by the provisions of this Section 8. The parties
each further agree that the arbitration provisions of this Agreement shall provide each party with
its exclusive remedy, with the exception of any dispute relating to the Intellectual Property, and
each party expressly waives any right it might have to seek redress in any other forum, except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. By election of arbitration as the means for final
settlement of all claims, with the exception of any dispute relating to the Intellectual Property,
the parties hereby waive their respective rights to, and agree not to, xxx each other in any action
in a federal, state or local court with respect to such claims, but may seek to enforce in court an
arbitration award rendered pursuant to this Agreement.
8.2. Notice and Selection of Arbitrator. Within thirty (30) days after the occurrence
of an event giving rise to a dispute subject to this Section 8, the aggrieved party shall provide
the other party with a detailed written statement of all facts pertaining to the dispute and shall
permit the other party thirty (30) days within which to investigate and consider the facts and to
resolve the matter informally. Thereafter, an aggrieved party who wishes to proceed to arbitration
shall have an additional ninety (90) days within which to so notify the other party in writing.
This notice shall include a clear, concise statement of the facts, the issues to be resolved by the
arbitrator and the desired remedy. Within ten (10) days after delivery of a written notice
requesting arbitration, the Company will contact the Employee, or his designated representative, to
select an arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, they shall select an
arbitrator from a list provided by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its
rules.
8.3. Arbitration Procedure. In the arbitration proceeding, each party shall be
entitled to retain its own counsel, to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses, to purchase a
stenographic record of the proceedings, and to submit post-hearing briefs. The opinion and award
of the arbitrator shall be requested by the parties within forty-five (45) days of the submission
of the post-hearing briefs, which shall be due thirty (30) days from the close of the arbitration.
8.4. The Employee’s Remedies. If the arbitrator finds that the Employee was
terminated in violation of law or this Agreement, the parties agree that the arbitrator acting
hereunder shall be empowered to provide the Employee with equitable and/or legal remedies,
including compensatory damages and back pay. “Back pay” shall include all forms of
compensation payable to the Employee by the Company, the cost of all fringe benefits, and
prejudgment interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on such claims.
8.5. Arbitrator’s Authority. In reaching his decision, the arbitrator shall have no
authority to add to, detract from, or otherwise modify any provision of this Agreement. The
15
EXECUTION COPY
arbitrator shall submit with the award a written opinion which shall include findings of fact and
conclusions of law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court
having competent jurisdiction.
8.6. Effect of Arbitrator’s Decision; Arbitrator’s Fees. The decision of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding between the parties as to all claims which were or could have
been raised in connection with the dispute, to the full extent permitted by law. In all cases in
which applicable federal law precludes a waiver of judicial remedies, the parties agree that the
decision of the arbitrator shall be a condition precedent to the institution or maintenance of any
legal, equitable, administrative, or other formal proceeding by the Employee in connection with the
dispute, and that the decision and opinion of the arbitrator may be presented in any other forum on
the merits of the dispute. In addition to the other relief provided, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover his or its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, including the administrative
fees and expenses associated with the arbitration, all of which shall be included in any award by
the arbitrator.
8.7. Indemnification for Costs of Litigation. In the event that a party to this
Agreement attempts to resolve in court claims subject to arbitration under this Agreement, that
party shall pay to the other party such other party’s attorney’s fees and costs incurred in
defending the action filed in court and any action seeking to enforce the provisions of this
Section 8.
8.8. Continuing Nature of Agreement to Arbitrate. The parties acknowledge and agree
that their obligations under this arbitration agreement survive the termination of this Agreement
and continue after the termination of the relationship between the Employee and the Company.
9. INDEMNIFICATION.
9.1 General. The Company agrees that if the Employee is made a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that the Employee is or was a
director, officer, member, employee or agent of the Company or any predecessor to the Company or
any of their Affiliates, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an
official capacity as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, the Employee shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as
the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all Expenses incurred or suffered by the
Employee in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to the Employee even
if the Employee has ceased to be a director, officer, member, employee or agent of the Company and
shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators.
9.2 Expenses. As used in this Section, the term “Expenses” shall include,
without limitation, damages, losses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, excise taxes,
settlements, costs, attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, and disbursements and costs of attachment
or similar bonds, investigations, and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under
this Agreement.
16
EXECUTION COPY
9.3 Enforcement. If a claim or request under this Section 9 is not paid by the Company
or on its behalf, within thirty (30) days after a written claim or request has been received by the
Company, the Employee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the
unpaid amount of the claim or request and if successful in whole or in part, the Employee shall be
entitled to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting such suit. All obligations for indemnification
hereunder shall be subject to, and paid in accordance with, applicable Delaware law.
9.4 Partial Indemnification. If the Employee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Expenses, but not,
however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Employee for
the portion of such Expenses to which the Employee is entitled.
9.5 Advances of Expenses. Expenses incurred by the Employee in connection with any
Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance upon request of the Employee that the Company
pay such Expenses to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended, but only in the event that the Employee shall have delivered in writing to
the Company (i) an undertaking to reimburse the Company for Expenses with respect to which the
Employee is not entitled to indemnification and (ii) a statement of his good faith belief that the
standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company has been met.
9.6 Notice of Claim. The Employee shall give to the Company notice of any claim made
against him for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. In addition,
the Employee shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require
and as shall be within the Employee’s power and at such times and places as are convenient for the
Employee.
9.7 Defense of Claim. With respect to any Proceeding as to which the Employee notifies
the Company of the commencement thereof:
(a) The Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;
(b) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the Company will be
entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Employee, which
in the Company’s sole discretion may be regular counsel to the Company and may be counsel to other
officers and directors of the Company or any subsidiary. The Employee also shall have the right to
employ his own counsel in such action, suit or proceeding, and under such circumstances, the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.
(c) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Employee under this Agreement for any
amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. The Company
shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose
any penalty that would not be paid directly or indirectly by the Company or limitation on the
Employee without the Employee’s written consent. Neither the Company nor the Employee will
unreasonably withhold or delay their consent to any proposed settlement.
17
EXECUTION COPY
9.8 Non-exclusivity. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred
in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section shall not
be exclusive of any other right which the Employee may have or hereafter may acquire under any
statute, operating agreement, articles of organization, or by-laws of the Company or any affiliated
entity, or any agreement, vote of shareholders, members, or otherwise.
10. GENERAL PROVISIONS
