6.1                               At-Will Employment.  The Employee’s employment is at-will, which means that either the Employee or the Employer may terminate this Employment Agreement

 











 

(with the exception of the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 which shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Employee’s employment) with or without Cause or notice, at any time at either the Employee’s or the Employer’s option.  Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, or as provided in any plan documents governing any compensatory equity awards that have been or may be granted to the Employee from time to time in the sole discretion of the Employer or an affiliate, upon termination of the Employee’s employment the Employer shall be released from any and all further obligations under this Agreement, except the Employer shall be obligated to pay the Employee his accrued but unpaid Basic Compensation and Expenses owing to the Employee through the day on which the Employee’s employment is terminated (the “Termination Date”).  The Employee’s obligations under Sections 7 and 8 shall continue pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

The Employee’s estate will not be entitled to any other compensation under this Agreement.

 

6.3                               Termination Related to a Change of Control.  As additional consideration for the covenants in Section 7 and Section 8, in the event of a Change of Control Termination, and provided that the Employee signs and allows to become effective a Release within the time period provided therein (but not later than the 60th day following the Termination Date, such latest permitted effective date is the “Release Deadline” for purposes of this Agreement), then subject to Section 9.2:

 

(a)                                 The Employee shall receive as severance one (1) year of his Salary, payable in accordance with the Employer’s then current payroll schedule over the one (1) year period following the Termination Date, less deductions required by law; provided, however, that if the Employee terminates his employment on account of a material reduction in his Salary, as provided in paragraph (a)(ii) of the definition of Good Reason, the amount of such severance shall be based on the Employee’s Salary immediately prior to such reduction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing payment schedule, no severance will be paid prior to the effective date of the Release.  Subject to Section 9.2, on the first regular payroll pay day following the effective date of the Release, the Employer will pay the Employee the severance that the Employee would otherwise have received on or prior to such date but for the delay in payment related to the effectiveness of the Release, with the balance of the severance being paid as originally scheduled.

 

(b)                                 If the Employee timely elects group health insurance coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Employer will pay the Employee’s monthly COBRA premiums (including the cost of eligible dependent coverage, if any) through the earliest of the following (the “COBRA Payment Period”): (i) for twelve (12) months following the Termination Date; (ii) the date that the Employee becomes eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer; or (iii) the date that the Employee is no longer eligible for COBRA coverage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Employer determines, in its sole discretion, that its payment of the Employee’s COBRA premiums would result in a

 











 

violation of applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 105(h)(2) of the Code and Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), then in lieu of paying such COBRA premiums, the Employer will pay the Employee on the last day of each remaining month of the COBRA Payment Period a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premium for that month, subject to applicable tax withholding (such amount, the “Special Severance Payment”); provided, however, that any such Special Severance Payment will be made without regard to the Employee’s payment of COBRA premiums and for purposes of any such Special Severance Payment, the “COBRA Payment Period” will be determined without regard to the expiration of the Employee’s eligibility for continued coverage under COBRA.

(i)                                     That all of such Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information is a unique asset of the business of the Employer, the disclosure of which would be damaging to the Employer.

 

(ii)                                  That the Employee will not at any time, whether during or after termination or cessation of the Employee’s employment, except as authorized by the Employer and for its benefit, use, divulge or disclose (or enable anyone else to use, divulge or disclose) to any Person, association or entity any Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information which the Employee presently possesses or which the Employee may obtain during the course of the Employee’s employment with respect to the business, finances, customers or affairs of the Employer or trade secrets, developments, methods or other

(iii)                               That during the course of this Agreement or at any time after termination, the Employee will keep in strictest confidence and will not disclose or make accessible to any other Person without the prior written consent of the Employer, the Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information; the Employee agrees: (a) not to use any such Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information for himself or others; and (b) not to take any such material or reproductions thereof from the Employer’s facilities at any time during his employment except, in each case, as required in connection with the Employee’s duties to the Employer.

 

(iv)                              The Employee agrees to hold in confidence, and not to distribute or disseminate to any Person or entity for any reason, any Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information of the Employer under this Agreement, or information relating to experiments or results obtained based on the duties of the Employee, except for information which: (a) is in or which becomes a part of the public domain not as a result of a breach of this Agreement, (b) is information lawfully received from a third party who had the right to disclose such information or (c) is required by legal process before a court of proper jurisdiction (by oral questions, deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative domain or other similar process) to disclose all or any part of any Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information, provided that the Employee will provide the Employer with prompt notice of such request or requirement, as well as notice of the terms and circumstances surrounding such request or requirements, so that the Employer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.  In such case, the parties will consult with each other on the advisability of pursuing any such order or other legal action or available step to resist or narrow such request or requirement.  If, failing the entry of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Employee is, in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Employer, legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information, the Employee may disclose that portion of such information which counsel advises is necessary to disclose.  The Employee will not oppose any action by the Employer to prevent disclosure pursuant to an appropriate protective order or to request other reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to the disclosure of such information.

 

(v)                                 Upon termination of this Agreement by either party or upon written notice by the Employer, the Employee shall promptly redeliver to the Employer, or, if requested by the Employer, promptly destroy all written Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information and any other written

 











 

material containing any information included in the Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information (whether prepared by the Employer, the Employee, or a third party), and will not retain any copies, extracts or other reproductions in whole or in part of such written Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information (and upon request certify such redelivery or destruction to the Employer in a written instrument reasonably acceptable to the Employer and its counsel).

 

(vi)                              This Agreement and the terms and conditions recited herein are confidential and non-public, except as may be expressly permitted by the Employer.  The Employee agrees not to disclose the contents of this Agreement to any Person or entity, including, but not limited to the press, other media, any public body, or any competitor of the Employer, except to the Employee’s legal counsel or as may be required by law.

 

(vii)                           Any trade secrets of the Employer will be entitled to all of the protections and benefits of State of Tennessee law and any other applicable law.  If any information that the Employer deems to be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not be to a trade secret for purposes of this Agreement, such information will, nevertheless, be considered Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information for purposes of this Agreement.  The Employee hereby waives any requirement that the Employer submits proof of the economic value of any trade secret or posts a bond or other security.

 

(viii)                        None of the foregoing obligations and restrictions applies to any part of the Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information that the Employee demonstrates was or became generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Employee.

 

(ix)                              The Employee will not remove from the Employer’s premises (except to the extent such removal is for purposes of the performance of the Employee’s duties at home or while traveling, or except as otherwise specifically authorized by the Employer) any Proprietary Items.  The Employee recognizes that, as between the Employer and the Employee, all of the Proprietary Items, whether or not developed by the Employee, are the exclusive property of the Employer.  Upon termination of this Agreement by either party, or upon the request of the Employer during the employment of the Employee, the Employee will return to the Employer all of the Proprietary Items in the Employee’s possession or subject to the Employee’s control, and the Employee shall not retain any copies, abstracts, sketches, or other physical or electronic embodiment of any of the Proprietary Items.

 

(x)                                 During the Employee’s employment with the Employer, the Employee will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other Person to whom the Employee has an obligation of confidentiality, and the Employee will not bring onto the premises of the Employer any unpublished documents or any property

 











 

belonging to any former employer or any other Person to whom the Employee has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or Person.

 

(b)                                 Employee Inventions

 

(i)                                     Each Employee Invention will belong exclusively to the Employer.  The Employee agrees that the Employer shall have sole and exclusive ownership rights in any conception, invention, trade secrets, information, ideas, improvement, substance, know-how, whether or not patentable, arising out of, resulting from, or derivative of:  (1) the work or services of the Employee, or (2) within the scope of the duties of the Employee, or (3) using any materials, compounds, devices, or monies of the Employer.  Any resulting or derivative rights, including patent rights, shall become the exclusive property of the Employer and the Employer shall be entitled to the entire right, title and interest with respect hereto.  The Employee agrees, without additional compensation, to convey, assign the entire right, title, and interest in and to any inventions for the United States and all foreign jurisdictions to the Employer arising out of, resulting from, or derivative of:  (1) the work or services of the Employee, or (2) within the scope of the duties of the Employee, or (3) using any materials, compounds, devices, or monies.

 

(ii)                                  The Employer shall retain the entire right, title and interest in and to any and all Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information provided by the Employer to the Employee and to any methods, compounds, improvements, substances, and compositions using or incorporating such Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information.

 

(iii)                               The Employee agrees that Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information provided to the Employee by the Employer shall be used for work purposes only and shall not be used for any other uses, studies, experiments or tests.

 

(iv)                              The Employee agrees that he will promptly disclose to the Employer, or any Persons designated by the Employer, all the Employee Inventions, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by him, either alone or jointly with others, during the employment of the Employee.  The Employee further agrees to assist the Employer in every proper way (but at the Employer’s expense) to obtain and from time to time enforce patents, copyrights or other rights on Employee Inventions in any and all countries, and to that end the Employee will execute all documents necessary: (a) to apply for, obtain and vest in the name of the Employer alone (unless the Employer otherwise directs) letters patent, copyrights or other analogues protection in any country throughout the world and when so obtained or vested to renew and restore the same; and (b) to defend (including the giving of testimony and rendering any other assistance) any opposition proceedings in respect of such applications and any opposition proceedings or petitions or applications for revocation of such letters patent,

 











 

copyright or other analogous protection.  The Employee’s obligation to assist the Employer in obtaining and enforcing patents and copyrights for Employee Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond and after the termination of the Employee.

 

(v)                                 Any copyrightable work whether published or unpublished created by the Employee in connection with or during the performance of services below shall be considered a work made for hire, to the fullest extent permitted by law and all right, title and interest therein, including the worldwide copyrights, shall be the property of the Employer as the employer and party specially commissioning such work.  In the event that any such copyrightable work or portion thereof shall not be legally qualified as a work made for hire, or shall subsequently be so held, the Employee agrees to properly convey to the Employer, without additional compensation, the entire right, title and interest in and to such work or portion thereof, including but not limited to the worldwide copyrights, extensions of such copyrights, and renewal copyrights therein, and further including all rights to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords, to prepare derivative works based on the copyrighted work, to distribute copies of the copyrighted work, to perform the copyrighted work  publicly, to display the copyrighted work publicly, and to register the claim of copyright therein and to execute any and all documents with respect hereto.

 

(vi)                              The Employee may not publish or disclose any Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information relating to, arising from, derivative of, or as a result of his employment pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to: information, improvements, results, experiments, data, or methods that makes reference to any of the Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information.  Any work performed under, or arising from, or a result of his employment with the Employer shall not be published or disclosed in written, electronic, or oral form without the express written permission of the Employer.

 

7.3                               Disputes or Controversies

 

The Employee recognizes that should a dispute or controversy arising from or relating to this Agreement be submitted for adjudication to any court, arbitration panel, or other third party, the preservation of the secrecy of Confidential Information and/or Proprietary Information may be jeopardized.  All pleadings, documents, testimony, and records relating to any such adjudication will be maintained in secrecy and will be available for inspection by the Employer, the Employee, and their respective attorneys and experts, who will agree, in advance and in writing, to receive and maintain all such information in secrecy, except as may be limited by them in writing.

 

7.4                               Agreement on Condition of Employment

 

As a condition of employment, the Employee agrees to execute and abide by the Employer’s current form of Agreement on Condition of Employment, which may be amended by

 











 

the parties from time to time without regard to this Agreement.  The Agreement on Condition of Employment contains provisions that are intended by the parties to survive and do survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.  In the event that the terms of this Agreement differ from or are in conflict with the Agreement on Condition of Employment, this Agreement shall control.

 

8.                                      NON-COMPETITION

 

8.1                               Acknowledgments by the Employee

 

The Employee understands and recognizes that the Employee’s services provided to the Employer are special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual in character.  Subject to Section 8.4 below, the Employee agrees that, during the employment of the Employee and for a period of two (2) years from the date of termination of the Employee’s employment with the Employer, he will not in any manner, directly or indirectly, on behalf of himself or any Person, firm, partnership, joint venture, corporation or other business entity, engage or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing, or control of, be employed by, associated with, or in any manner connected with, lend the Employee’s name or similar name to, lend the Employee’s credit to or render services or advice to, enter into or engage in any Competing Business; provided, however, that the Employee may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) one percent of any class of securities of any enterprise (but without otherwise participating in the activities of such enterprise) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

8.2                               In consideration of the acknowledgements by the Employee, and in consideration of the compensation and benefits to be paid or provided to the Employee by the Employer, the Employee covenants that, subject to Section 8.4 below, he will not, directly or indirectly, whether for the Employee’s own account or the account of any other Person (i) at any time during the employment of the Employee and for a period of two (2) years from the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Employer, solicit, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor, or otherwise, any Person who is or was an employee of the Employer at any time during the Employee’s employment with the Employer or in any manner induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Employer to terminate his employment with the Employer; or (ii) at any time during the employment of the Employee with the Employer and for two (2) years from the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Employer, interfere with the Employer’s relationship with any Person, including any Person who at any time during the Employee’s employment with the Employer was an employee, contractor, supplier, or customer of the Employer.

 

8.3                               In further consideration of these promises, the Employee agrees that he will not at any time during or after the Employee’s employment with the Employer, disparage the Employer or any of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or agents in any manner likely to be harmful to them or their business, business reputation or personal reputation; provided, however, that the Employee may respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process.

 











 

8.4                               Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control Termination, the Employee’s obligations under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 above and the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions in the Agreement on Condition of Employment shall expire one (1) year from the date of termination of his employment with the Employer (or any entity acquiring the Employer as a result of a Change of Control).

 

8.5                               If any covenant in Section 8 is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant will be considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time, and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time, or geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, will be effective, binding, and enforceable against the Employee.

 

The period of time applicable to any covenant in Section 8 will be extended by the duration of any violation by the Employee of such covenant.

 

The Employee will, while the covenants under Section 8 are in effect, give notice to the Employer, within ten days after accepting any other employment, of the identity of the Employee’s employer. The Employer may notify such employer that the Employee is bound by this Agreement and, at the Employer’s election, furnish such employer with a copy of this Agreement or relevant portions thereof.

 

9.                                      TAX MATTERS

 

9.1                               Responsibility for Tax Obligations.  The Employee agrees that he is responsible for any applicable taxes of any nature (including any penalties or interest that may apply to such taxes) that the Employer reasonably determines apply to any payment or equity award made to the Employee hereunder (or any arrangement contemplated hereunder), that the Employee’s receipt of any payment or benefit hereunder is conditioned on the Employee’s satisfaction of any applicable withholding or similar obligations that apply to such payment or benefit, and that any cash payment owed to the Employee hereunder will be reduced to satisfy any such withholding or similar obligations that may apply thereto.

 

9.2                               Compliance with Section 409A.  Any payments or benefits provided under this Agreement that constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”) shall not commence in connection with the Employee’s termination of employment unless the Employee has also incurred a “separation from service,” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (without regard to any permissible alternative definition thereunder) (“Separation from Service”).  It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i).  For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that payments of the amounts set forth in this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if the Employer determines that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and the Employee is, on the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, a “specified employee” of the Employer or any successor

 









 

entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of any such payments or benefits shall be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after the Employee’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of the Employee’s death (such earlier date, the “Delayed Initial Payment Date”), the Employer shall (A) pay to the Employee a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the payments that the Employee would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the payments had not been so delayed pursuant to this Section 9.2 and (B) commence paying the balance of the payments in accordance with the applicable payment schedules set forth in this Agreement.  If the Employer determines that any payments or benefits provided under this Agreement constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Employee’s Separation from Service occurs, the Release will not be deemed effective any earlier than the Release Deadline for purposes of determining the timing of payment of any such payments or benefits.

 

9.3          Parachute Payments

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit the Employee will or may receive from the Employer or otherwise (a “280G Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then any such 280G Payment pursuant to this Agreement (a “Payment”) shall be equal to the Reduced Amount.  The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount (i.e., the amount determined by clause (x) or by clause (y)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax.  If a reduction in a Payment is required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, the reduction shall occur in the manner (the “Reduction Method”) that results in the greatest economic benefit for the Employee.  If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata (the “Pro Rata Reduction Method”).

 

(b)           Notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.3(a) to the contrary, if the Reduction Method or the Pro Rata Reduction Method would result in any portion of the Payment being subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A that would not otherwise be subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A, then the Reduction Method and/or the Pro Rata Reduction Method, as the case may be, shall be modified so as to avoid the imposition of taxes pursuant to Section 409A as follows: (A) as a first priority, the modification shall preserve to the greatest extent possible, the greatest  economic benefit for the Employee as determined on an after-tax basis; (B) as a second priority, Payments that are contingent on future events (e.g., being terminated without Cause), shall be

 











 

reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not contingent on future events; and (C) as a third priority, Payments that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A.

 

(c)           If the Employee receives a Payment for which the Reduced Amount was determined pursuant to clause (x) of Section 9.3(a) and the Internal Revenue Service determines thereafter that some portion of the Payment is subject to the Excise Tax, the Employee shall promptly return to the Employer a sufficient amount of the Payment (after reduction pursuant to clause (x) of Section 9.3(a)) so that no portion of the remaining Payment is subject to the Excise Tax.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced Amount was determined pursuant to clause (y) of Section 9.3(a), the Employee shall have no obligation to return any portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

10.          CLAWBACK/RECOVERY

 

Any amounts paid to the Employee by the Employer, whether or not under this Agreement or any incentive plan of the Employer, will be subject to recoupment in accordance with The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any implementing regulations under these acts, any clawback policy adopted by the Employer, or as otherwise required by applicable law.  In addition, in consideration of the Employee’s continued employment with the Employer and in recognition of the Employee’s position of trust and authority with the Employer, the Employee agrees to promptly consent to any clawback policy adopted by the Employer.

 

11.          GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

11.1        Injunctive Relief and Additional Remedy

 

The Employee acknowledges that the injury that would be suffered by the Employer as a result of a breach of the provisions of this Agreement (including any provision of Sections 7 and 8) would be irreparable and that an award of monetary damages to the Employer for such a breach would be an inadequate remedy.  Consequently, the Employer will have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce any provision of this Agreement, and the Employer will not be obligated to post bond or other security in seeking such relief.  Without limiting the Employer’s rights under this Section 11 or any other remedies of the Employer, if the Employee breaches any of the provisions of Section 7 or 8, the Employer will have the right to cease making any payments otherwise due to the Employee under this Agreement.

 

11.2        Covenants of Sections 7 and 8 are Essential and Independent Covenants

 

The covenants by the Employee in Sections 7 and 8 are essential elements of this Agreement, and without the Employee’s agreement to comply with such covenants, the Employer would not have entered into this Agreement or employed or continued the employment of the Employee.  The Employer and the Employee have independently consulted their respective counsel and have been advised in all respects concerning the reasonableness and

 











 

propriety of such covenants, with specific regard to the nature of the business conducted by the Employer.  The Employee agrees that this Agreement does not prevent him from earning a living or pursuing his career and that he has the ability to secure other non-competitive employment using his marketable skills.  The Employee agrees that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable, proper, and necessitated by the Employer’s legitimate business interests, including without limitation, the Employer’s Confidential and/or Proprietary Information and the goodwill of its customers.

 

The Employee’s covenants in Sections 7 and 8 are independent covenants and the existence of any claim by the Employee against the Employer under this Agreement or otherwise will not excuse the Employee’s breach of any covenant in Section 7 or 8.

 

If the Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated by either party, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect as is necessary or appropriate to enforce the covenants and agreements of the Employee in Sections 7 and 8.

 

11.3        Representations and Warranties by the Employee

 

The Employee represents and warrants to the Employer that the execution and delivery by the Employee of this Agreement do not, and the performance by the Employee of the Employee’s obligations hereunder will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both: (a) violate any judgment, writ, injunction, or order of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency applicable to the Employee; or (b) conflict with, result in the breach of any provisions of or the termination of, or constitute a default under, any agreement to which the Employee is a party or by which the Employee is or may be bound.

 

11.4        Waiver

 

The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.  Neither the failure nor any delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.

 

11.5        Binding Effect; Delegation of Duties Prohibited

 

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, and legal representatives, including any entity with which the Employer may merge or consolidate or to which all or substantially all of its assets may be transferred.  The duties and covenants of the Employee under this Agreement, being personal, may not be delegated.

All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when (a) delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (b) sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of receipt), provided that a copy is mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested, or (c) when received by the addressee, if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (receipt requested), in each case to the appropriate addresses and facsimile numbers set forth below (or to such other addresses and facsimile numbers as a party may designate by notice to the other parties):

The Employer and the Employee further acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Agreement amend and supersede the Prior Employment Agreement and the Prior Employment Agreement Amendment, both of which shall be of no further force and effect.
