SEPARATION AGREEMENT

 

I, Dale R. Davis, residing at 4404 Seascape Drive, Kitty Hawk, NC 27949, on
behalf of myself and my estate, heirs, representatives, successors and assigns,
and STG, Inc., a Virginia corporation and its subsidiaries and other affiliates
(collectively and severally, the “Company”), agree to the following for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, and with the intent to be legally bound:

 

1.My employment with the Company will end on 4/3/2017 (the “Termination Date”).
I will comply with all Company employee exit procedures, including, but not
limited to, returning all Company-owned property and execution of normal exit
documentation.

 

2.The Company shall pay me $201,833.38, which is equal to seven (7) months of my
base salary (the “Amount”). The Amount, which I agree is not otherwise payable
to me by the Company except by virtue of this Agreement, will be paid over the
14 pay periods immediately following the termination date in equal installments,
on the normal STG payroll dates, provided I have signed and delivered this
Agreement to the Company, and will be subject to all applicable deductions and
withholdings, including, but not limited to, taxes or other items which the
Company is required or permitted to withhold or remit.

 

3.The Company shall pay me $10,987.62 in one lump sum payment following the
termination date.

 

4.I understand that, from and after the last day of the month during which the
Termination Date occurs, I will not be entitled to any employee-related
benefits, except as required by law.

 

5.For the consideration provided me under this Agreement, and to the maximum
extent permitted by law, I, on behalf of myself, and on behalf of my estate,
heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby release and
covenant not to sue the Company, all of its past, present and future parents,
subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and
agents, and all of its and their respective heirs, representatives, successors
and assigns, from, and with respect to, any and all claims, counterclaims,
demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that I might otherwise have asserted in
connection with or arising out of each and every matter or thing of whatever
kind and nature (either known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and whether
arising at law or in equity, under common law, statutory law, administrative
rule, requirement or regulation, or any other law or otherwise) that now exists
or has ever existed at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, including,
but not limited to, any matter or thing related to my employment with and/or
separation from the Company.

 

I further agree that in the event that any person or entity should file a
charge, claim, complaint or action on my behalf, I hereby waive and forfeit any
right to recovery under such claims and will exercise every good faith effort to
have such claim dismissed. This Agreement does not affect the right or ability
of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) to enforce applicable
employment discrimination statutes and it should not be construed as a
restriction of the EEOC’s right to independently take whatever actions that are
authorized by the EEOC’s enabling statute.

9.I represent that, as of the Termination Date, I have surrendered to the
Company, all information and data (“Confidential Information”) in my possession,

Further, I shall at all times treat all Confidential Information in a secret and

Information.

 

10.As applicable, I shall, in a timely manner to ensure that there is no
violation or potential violation thereof, advise each and every person, firm,
partnership, limited liability company, corporation, government (or agency,
department or other unit thereof), association, institution or other entity with

in any other relationship of the restrictions and limitations imposed upon me
under Section 8 hereof.

 

11.I further agree that following the execution of this Agreement, I will not
make any negative and/or disparaging remarks, oral or written, about the

16.The failure of either the Company or me to enforce at any time any provision
of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such provision in any way or
the right of either at any time to pursue those remedies which may be available.

 

17.I acknowledge that irreparable injury and damage to the Company will result
from any breach of this Agreement by me, and that monetary damages may not be
sufficient remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the Company shall be
entitled, without waiving any additional rights or remedies available to it at
law, in equity, by statute or otherwise, to such injunctive or equitable relief
as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that
I breach or threaten to breach any provision of this Agreement and the Company
retains counsel to cure the breach or threatened breach, in addition to whatever
damages or other relief that the Company might otherwise be entitled to under
this Agreement or applicable law, I also agree that I shall be liable for all
costs and expenses, including attorney fees and disbursements, incurred by the
Company.

 

18.I warrant and represent that my decision to accept this Agreement (1) was
entirely voluntary on my part, (2) was not made in reliance on any inducement,
promise or representation, whether expressed or implied, other than the
inducements, representations and promises expressly set forth herein and (3) did
not result from any threats or other coercive activities to induce acceptance of
this Agreement. Also, I fully understand and appreciate the consequences of my
signing this Agreement.

 

19.This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
excluding its laws on conflict of laws, and constitutes the entire and
integrated agreement between the Company and me, superseding any prior or
contemporaneous agreements, understandings or contracts regarding the subject
matter hereof. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any action or suit under
or with respect to this Agreement shall, as applicable, be the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Alexandria Division) or the
applicable Commonwealth of Virginia court in Fairfax County, Virginia, it being
understood that the parties expressly waive the right to bring any such action
or suit in any other jurisdiction or venue. This Agreement may be amended only
by written instrument executed by both the Company and me.

 

20.IN ANY ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, DEFENSE, MATTER OR ISSUE
RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, I HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT I MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

 

IN WITNESS, WHEREOF, the parties execute this Agreement on March 20, 2017.
