ADDENDUM A

 

1. To be reimbursed under this relocation agreement, Employee must submit all
original receipts, along with an expense report for relocation expenses
incurred, to the Company within 60 days of Employee’s first day of work at
Nanometrics.

 

2. The company will reimburse the employee for two house hunting trips. The
Company will reimburse Employee for airline tickets (coach class), car rental,
hotel and all other normal expenses up to three (3) days so that Employee may
survey the area with a real estate agent.

 

3. The Company will reimburse Employee for the normal and reasonable expenses
associated with the actual shipment of personal goods via ground transportation,
which can include shipment of one vehicle.

 

4. The Company will reimburse Employee for storage of relocated personal goods
in the San Francisco Bay Area for six months.

 

5. The Company will reimburse Employee up to (12) months rent until a permanent
home is located, in an amount not to exceed $8,000.00 per month.

 

6. If Employee voluntarily terminates employment with the Company within one
(1) year of relocation, Employee agrees to repay the Company all reimbursed
relocation expenses on a 12- month prorated basis. Employee agrees that he will
owe the Company 1/12 of the relocation expenses that he is provided
reimbursement for if he resigns his employment prior to the one year anniversary
of his start date, for every month short of 12 months. For example, if employee
resigns in his first year of employment five months after beginning his
employment he will be obligated to repay the Company 7/12 of the reimbursement
expenses provided by the Company.

Severance Agreement), the Company will reimburse Employee for actual shipment of
personal goods via ground transportation back to his original location, in an
amount not to exceed original moving expenses within 180 days of termination.

 

8. This relocation agreement should not be construed to create or imply the
creation of a contract of employment for a specified term between Nanometrics
and Employee, nor should it be construed as a guarantee of employment for a
specific period of time. In all circumstances, employment at Nanometrics is
“at-will”, which means that either the Employee or the Company can terminate the
employment relationship at any time, with or without cause and with or without
prior notice.

 

9. This relocation agreement represents the entire understanding and agreement
of the parties hereto with respect to the terms contained herein. All other
terms and condition of Employee’s employment with the Company remain in full
force and effect.
