EXHIBIT 1.160
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
     This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into by
and between WEB.COM, INC., a Minnesota corporation having its principal
executive offices located at the business address of 303 Peachtree Center
Avenue, Suite 500, Atlanta, Georgia 30303 (the “Company”), and JUDITH HACKETT,
an individual residing at the address indicated in Exhibit 1 (“Executive”).
Company and Executive enter into this Agreement as of the date they each have
signed it, but the Agreement shall be effective as of the date established
pursuant to Section 2.1, below.
     Whereas, Company desires to continue to employ Executive with the title
indicated in Exhibit 1 and the parties wish to establish certain terms and
conditions of such employment by entering into this Agreement; and
     Whereas, Executive desires to continue such employment with Company on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
     Now Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements contained herein, and with certain capitalized terms having the
definitions provided in Section 6 of this Agreement, the parties hereby agree as
follows:
     1. Employment; Regular Compensation. Company agrees to employ Executive
with the title indicated in Exhibit 1 and Executive agrees to serve in such
capacity on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Company shall
pay Executive an initial base salary (the “Base Salary”) as set forth in
Exhibit 1. The Base Salary is expressed as an annual amount solely for reference
purposes, and shall be payable to Executive on a bi-weekly basis. In its sole
discretion, the Company may change Executive’s compensation.
     2. Effective Date; Indefinite Term.
          2.1 This Agreement shall be deemed in full force and effect as of the
date it is executed by the parties below, along with the execution of any
exhibits hereto;

by Company hereunder may be terminated at will by either party at any time, with
or without Cause (as defined in Section 6.1, below) or any reason, voluntary or
involuntary, and with or without prior notice. Certain provisions of this
Agreement, however, as more fully set forth in Section 5, below, provide for the
payment of benefits to Executive upon the specified circumstances of termination
of Executive’s employment with Company, and certain other provisions, as more
fully set forth below in Section 11, below, may continue in effect beyond the
date of such termination. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that
employment with Company is on an “at will” basis, and that this Agreement does
not provide a guarantee of continued employment, notwithstanding any other
provision in this Agreement.
     3. Duties. Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, or such other individual as may be designated from time to time by the
Board of Directors (the “Board”). Executive shall faithfully and diligently
perform all such acts

and duties, and furnish such services, as are assigned to Executive by such
supervising officer.
     4. Efforts; Conflicts of Interest. During Executive’s employment by
Company, Executive shall devote his full business time and efforts to Company

perform any services for any other person, firm, association, or corporation
that conflicts with Executive’s efforts to Company or with Company’s business
interests, except for: (a) serving on the board of directors of any other entity
that is not in competition with Company (subject to Company’s approval, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (b) activities approved in
writing in advance by the Executive’s supervising officer or the Board, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (c) passive
investments in entities that do not involve Executive providing any advice or
services to the businesses in which the investments are made, or which do not
violate Company policy, including without limitation any policy relating to
conflicts of interest or business ethics.

earned but unpaid Base Salary through such termination date; (b) Company shall

complete waiver and release of all claims relating to Company, or Executive’s
employment by Company or any termination thereof, within any applicable
consideration or execution periods and in a form that is acceptable to Company;
and (y) subject to confirmation by Company that Executive does not later revoke
such waiver and release of claims within any revocation period required by
applicable law.
          5.4 Death of Executive. In the event of Executive’s death, Executive’s
employment and all other obligations hereunder shall automatically terminate and
the Company’s obligation to pay compensation and benefits under this Agreement
shall immediately terminate, except that Company shall pay to Executive’s
estate: (a) Executive’s Base Salary through the end of the calendar month in
which Executive’s death occurs; (b) Executive’s earned but unpaid incentive

          5.5 Change in Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated by
Company other than for Cause or by Executive for Good Reason at any time within
twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, then Company’s obligation to
pay compensation and benefits under this Agreement shall immediately terminate,
except that: (a) Company shall pay to Executive and, if applicable, Executive’s
heirs, any earned but unpaid Base Salary through such termination date;
(b) Company shall pay to Executive any earned but unpaid incentive compensation
or bonuses through the termination date, subject to the terms of the applicable
bonus plan, including without limitation any eligibility requirements or any
limitations on such payment under applicable law; (c) Company shall permit
Executive to receive continuation of the benefits as set forth in Section 5.6,
below, to the extent applicable; and (d) Company shall pay to Executive, as

soon as practicable following such termination date, subject to the following
conditions: (x) Executive shall execute a written, complete waiver and release
of all claims relating to Company, or Executive’s employment by Company or any
termination thereof, within any applicable consideration or execution periods
and in a form that is acceptable to Company; and (y) subject to confirmation by
Company that Executive does not later revoke such waiver and release of claims
within any revocation period required by applicable law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 5.5, however, Executive will not be
entitled to Severance Benefits under this Section 5.5 solely as a consequence of
a relocation of corporate offices that otherwise satisfies the definition of
“Good Reason” if, in connection with such relocation, the Company offers

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Executive a relocation package at least as preferable as that provided in the
Company’s Relocation Policy (as of June 1, 2007).
          5.6 Benefits Continuation. Upon termination of Executive’s employment,
Company shall permit Executive and, if applicable, Executive’s family members,
to continue to participate in Company’s employee benefits plans, to the extent
required or allowed by law and subject to the terms of such plans and applicable
law.
          5.7 Other Change in Control Provisions. In the event that Executive is
terminated without Cause within twelve months following a Change in Control, or
resigns with Good Reason within twelve months following a Change in Control,
fifty percent (50%) of the Severance Benefits to which Executive is entitled
under this Agreement shall be deemed to be allocated as consideration in respect
of Executive’s post-termination non-competition obligations under the
Confidentiality, Invention Assignment and Non-Competition Agreement or any other
similar agreement that may be in effect with respect to Executive. In addition,
in the event that Executive is terminated without Cause within twelve months
following a Change in Control or resigns with Good Reason within twelve months
following a Change in Control, and the Company and Executive determine that the
acceleration of benefits to Executive as a consequence of such Change in Control
are likely to result in the imposition of an excise tax on Executive pursuant to
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, Executive and Company agree to make
such modifications or changes in the terms of this Agreement as are reasonably
calculated to eliminate or mitigate such excise tax liability and, to the extent
possible, put the Executive and the Company in substantially the same economic
position as they would have been excluding the impact of Section 280G.
     6. Definitions.
          6.1 “Cause” shall mean termination of Executive’s employment by
Company for one or more of the following reasons: (a) Executive has breached or
threatens to breach a fiduciary duty owed to Company; (b) Executive has engaged
or threatens to engage in dishonesty, fraud, gross negligence, willful
malfeasance or other acts of misconduct in the performance of Executive’s duties
or during the course of Executive’s employment; (c) upon the willful and
continued failure by Executive substantially to perform Executive’s duties with
the Company (other than by reason of Nonperformance Due to Disability as defined
below); (d) Executive has willfully violated or threatens to violate Company
policies, or has willfully violated or threatens to violate any law, rule or
regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) which result in
material injury to Company; or (e) Executive has violated or threatens to
violate the terms of Sections 4, 7, or 8 of this Agreement or the material terms
of the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement, or any other material
breach of this Agreement.

ownership of the Company’s voting stock or a change in the composition of the
Board which occurs as follows:
               (i) Any “person,” including a “syndication” or “group” as those
terms are used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is or
becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Company

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

representing 40% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding “Voting Securities,” which is any security which ordinarily

corporation without the happening of any precondition or contingency;
               (ii) The Company is merged or consolidated with another
corporation and immediately after giving effect to the merger or consolidation

consolidation, or (y) if a record date has been set to determine the
shareholders of the Company entitled to vote on such merger or consolidation,
the shareholders of the Company as of such record date;
               (iii) If at any time the following do not constitute a majority
of the Board of Directors of the Company (or any successor entity referred to in
clause (ii) above): Persons who, prior to their election as a Director of the
Company (or successor entity if applicable) were nominated, recommended or
endorsed by a formal resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee thereof; or
               (iv) The Company transfers substantially all of its assets to
another corporation which is a less than 80% owned subsidiary of the Company.
          6.3 “Disability” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term or its
variations, such as “Disabled,” in Company’s long-term disability plan, or in
the absence of such plan, a meaning consistent with the definition of permanent
and total disability under Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.
          6.4 “Good Reason” shall mean that one or more of the following events
has occurred and, after giving Company written notice of the occurrence and of

officers, employees, and customers.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     8. Confidential Information and Covenants Not to Compete. The parties agree
that Executive’s services to Company are of a unique value and that confidential
and proprietary information about Company has been or will be obtained by,
disclosed or otherwise made available to Executive as a result of Executive’s
employment with Company. Accordingly, as a condition to Executive’s employment,
Executive and Company also are entering into the Confidentiality, Invention
Assignment, and Non-Competition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the
“Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement”).
     9. Dispute Resolution Process. All disputes between Executive and Company
that otherwise could be resolved in court shall be resolved instead by the
following alternative dispute resolution process (the “Process”).
          9.1 Disputes Covered. This Process applies to all disputes between
Executive and Company, including those arising out of or related to this
Agreement or Executive’s employment by Company. Disputes subject to this Process
include but are not limited to pay disputes, contract disputes, legal disputes,
wrongful termination disputes, and discrimination, harassment or civil rights
disputes. This Process applies to disputes Executive may have with Company and
also applies to disputes Executive may have with any of Company’s employees or
agents so long as the person with whom Executive has the dispute is also bound
by or consents to this Process. This Process applies regardless of when the
dispute arises and will remain in effect after Executive’s employment with
Company ends, regardless of the reason it ends. This Process does not apply,
however, to any workers’ compensation or unemployment compensation claims, to
the extent applicable under the circumstances.
          9.2 Negotiation and Mediation. Executive and Company agree to attempt
to resolve all disputes first by direct negotiations. If direct negotiations are
not successful, the parties shall then use mediation. They shall first attempt
to agree upon a mediator. If unable to agree upon a mediator, the parties shall
request and conduct mediation under the American Arbitration Association’s
National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. Unless otherwise
agreed by the parties, any mediation sessions shall be held in Atlanta, Georgia.
Temporary or interim injunctive relief may be sought without mediating first.
Any failure to mediate shall not affect the validity of an arbitration award or
the obligation to arbitrate.
          9.3 Arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved through negotiation
and mediation, the parties shall request, and either party may demand,
arbitration pursuant to the American Arbitration Association’s National Rules
for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. Unless otherwise agreed by the
parties, any arbitration hearing shall be held in Atlanta, Georgia. The decision
of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and on all persons
and entities claiming through the parties. Submission of their dispute to
arbitration shall be the exclusive means for resolving the dispute, to the
exclusion of any trial by a court or jury. All disputes that are not resolved by
agreement (in mediation or otherwise) shall be determined by binding
arbitration.
          9.4 Injunctive Relief. Either party may request a court to issue such
temporary or interim relief (including temporary restraining orders and
preliminary injunctions) as may be appropriate, either before or after mediation
or arbitration is

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

commenced. The temporary or interim relief shall remain in effect pending the
outcome of mediation or arbitration. No such request shall be a waiver of the
right to submit any dispute to mediation or arbitration.
          9.5 Employment Status. This Process does not affect the status of the
employment relationship between the parties, which as stated above in
Section 2.2 shall be “at will;” nor does this Process guarantee continued
employment by the Company, require discharge only for cause, or require any
particular corrective action or discharge procedures.
     10. Notification. Executive hereby authorizes the Company, or any of its
employees or designated representatives or counsel, to notify Executive’s actual
or future employers or any governmental agency of any terms of this Agreement or
the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement and Executive’s
responsibilities or obligations hereunder.
     11. Severability; Survival of Provisions. If any part of this Agreement or
any part of the Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement is held by any
legal authority to be unenforceable or is severed by any legal authority, the
remainder of such agreement shall be enforced to the maximum extent allowed by
applicable law. Certain provisions of this Agreement, including confidential
information and covenants not to compete (Section 8), dispute resolution process
(Section 9), notification (Sections 10 and 21), and governing law (Section 18)
of this Agreement, and all of the provisions of the Confidentiality and
Non-Competition Agreement, shall survive after any such legal determination,
after Executive’s employment by Company ends regardless of the reason it ends,
and shall be enforceable regardless of any such determination or any claim
Executive may have against Company.
     12. Relief for Breach. Because any breach or threatened breach by Executive
of Sections 4, 7, and 8 of this Agreement or of the Confidentiality and
Non-Competition Agreement would result in continuing material and irreparable
harm to Company, and because it would be difficult or impossible to establish
the full monetary value of such damage, Company shall be entitled to injunctive
relief in the event of any such breach or threatened breach by Executive.
Injunctive relief is in addition to any other available remedy, including
termination of this Agreement and damages. In the event of any threatened breach
of this Agreement by Executive, Company may suspend any payment of Base Salary,
incentives, bonuses, Severance Benefits and other compensation due to Executive
under this Agreement and, if Executive has breached this Agreement, any
remaining amounts to be paid under this Agreement shall be forfeited. In the
event of any breach or threatened breach by either party which results in
court-ordered relief, the breaching party shall reimburse the non-breaching
party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred to obtain
such relief.
     13. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid
unless in writing, signed by the party against whom the waiver is sought to be
enforced. The waiver of any breach of this Agreement or failure to enforce any
provision of this Agreement shall not waive any later breach.
     14. Binding Effect. This Agreement is binding upon the parties and their
personal representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, taken
together, shall constitute a single agreement.
     16. Complete Agreement. This Agreement, together with the attached
Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement, is the final and complete
expression of the parties’ agreement relating to Executive’s employment by the
Company. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement replaces and supersedes
any prior employment agreements between Executive and Company, or its parent,
subsidiaries, predecessors or affiliates, and each party to this Agreement
hereby releases and holds harmless the other party from any obligations or
liability with respect thereto. The parties acknowledge and agree that they are
not entering into this Agreement in reliance on anything not set out in this
Agreement. This Agreement shall control over any inconsistent policies or
procedures of Company affecting Executive’s employment, whether in effect now or
adopted later, but Company’s policies and procedures that are consistent with
this Agreement, whether in effect now or adopted later, shall apply to
Executive’s employment according to the terms thereof.
     17. Payroll Withholding. All payments of Base Salary, incentives, bonuses,
Severance Benefits and other compensation payable to Executive pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise shall be subject to the customary withholding for income
taxes as determined appropriate by the Company, and shall be subject to other
withholdings or deductions as required with respect to such compensation paid by
a corporation to any employee.
     18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without giving effect to the
provisions thereof relating to choice of laws. Each party hereby irrevocably
(a) consents to the jurisdiction and venue for any legal action with the state
courts in Fulton County, Georgia and federal courts in the Northern District of
Georgia, Atlanta Division, unless injunctive relief is sought by Company and, in
Company’s judgment, that relief might not be effective unless obtained in some
other venue; and (b) waives any jurisdictional defenses (including personal
jurisdiction and venue) to any such action. These provisions do not give any
party a right to proceed in court in violation of the Dispute Resolution Process
under Section 9, above.
     19. Successors And Assigns. All rights and duties of Company under this
Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of its successors,
assigns or any company which purchases or otherwise acquires it or all or
substantially all of its operating assets by any method. This Agreement shall
not be assignable by Executive other than the right to receive benefits being
passed by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
     20. Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties
relating to the subject matter and may not be amended except by an instrument in
writing signed by both parties; it shall not be amended orally or by course of
dealing. If Executive is employed by Company prior to the date of this
Agreement, this Agreement amends and restates the terms of Executive’s
employment in their entirety.

Exhibit 2
Confidentiality, Invention Assignment, and Non-Competition Agreement
Web.com, Inc. and its subsidiaries, with a place of business located at 303
Peachtree Center Avenue, Suite 500, Atlanta, Georgia 30303 (“Web.com”), and the
undersigned managerial employee (“Employee”), agree, in connection with
Employee’s employment by Web.com and in consideration of the rights and benefits
given to Employee in connection with such employment (the receipt and
consideration of which is hereby acknowledged) agree as follows.

1)   Confidentiality.

  a)   During Web.com’s employment of Employee (whether in Employee’s current
capacity or in any other future capacity), Web.com may disclose to Employee,
either orally, in writing or by other means, trade secrets and proprietary
information concerning Web.com’s business, finances, products, customers,
vendors, computer technology and other technical, commercial or financial
affairs of Web.com which are not in the public domain and which have been
reasonably restricted by Web.com as confidential, hereinafter referred to as the
“CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.”     b)   Employee shall hold in trust and confidence
the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and shall not disclose such CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION to any third party, except as agreed by Web.com in writing.     c)  
Employee agrees not to use the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION for any purpose other
than in the performance of Employee’s duties as an employee of Web.com.     d)  
Employee’s obligations in this Section 1 will not apply to any CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION which was: (i) at the time of disclosure to Employee, in the public
domain; (ii) after disclosure to Employee, published or otherwise, becomes part
of the public domain through no fault of Employee; (iii) without a breach of
duty owed to Web.com, in Employee’s possession at the time of disclosure to
Employee; (iv) received after disclosure to Employee of such information from a
third party who had a lawful right to and, without a breach of duty owed to
Web.com, did disclose such information to Employee; or (v) independently
developed by Employee without reference to CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.     e)  
The covenants of confidentiality set forth herein (i) will apply after the date
hereof to any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION disclosed to Employee and (ii) will
continue and must be maintained from the date hereof until termination of
Employee’s employment, plus (A) with respect to trade secrets (as defined by
applicable law), at any and all times after termination of Employee’s employment
during which such trade secrets retain their status as such under applicable
law;

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

      and (B) with respect to CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, for a period equal to
the shorter of two (2) years after termination of Employee’s employment, or
until such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION no longer qualifies as CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION under this Agreement or applicable law.

2)   Inventions

  a)   Employee hereby irrevocably assigns to Web.com all of Employee’s rights
to all Subject Inventions (as defined below) in the United States and all other

which: (i) is Employee’s property, solely or jointly; (ii) is not described in
any issued patent as of the commencement of Employee’s employment with Web.com;

Web.com employee; then Employee must, at Employee’s election, either:
(i) provide Web.com with a written description of the Invention on Exhibit 2.1,
in which case the written description (but no rights to the Invention) shall
become the property of Web.com; or (ii) provide Web.com with the license
described in Section 2(c) of this Agreement.     c)   If Employee has previously
conceived or acquired any ownership interest in an Invention described above in
Section 2(b) and Employee elects not to disclose such Invention to Web.com as
provided above, then Employee hereby grants to Web.com a nonexclusive, paid up,
royalty-free license to use and practice the Invention, including a license
under all patents to issue in any country which pertain to the Invention.     d)
