1.Duties and Scope of Employment.  Executive’s first day of employment shall be August 1, 2016, and through and including August 3, 2016, Executive shall be engaged in the Company’s onboarding process.  Effective after the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period ending June 30, 2016, Executive will serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer reporting to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and will perform the duties, consistent with this position, as assigned by Executive’s supervisor or the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
2.    Employment Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5, beginning on the Effective Date and, continuing until December 31, 2020, Executive will be employed with the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that beginning on December 31, 2019 and on each one year anniversary thereafter (each an “Extension Date”), the Employment Term will be automatically extended for an additional one-year period, unless the Company or Executive provides the other party written notice at least 30 calendar days before the Extension Date that the Employment Term will not be extended.
3.    Compensation.
(a)    Signing bonus. Company will pay Executive a signing bonus of $45,000, subject to the usual and required withholdings. The signing bonus will be paid within fifteen (15) calendar days from when this Agreement is fully executed by both Parties.


(b)    Temporary housing. Company will provide Executive with six (6) months of temporary housing accommodations. Company will directly pay for all costs and expenses associated with the temporary housing, including but not limited to, rent, utilities, landscaping and swimming pool services, and homeowners’ association fees. Executive and Company must mutually agree upon the specific temporary housing accommodations. In the event the costs and expenses associated with the temporary 


1


 



housing are determined to be taxable compensation to Executive, then Company shall ‘gross-up’ the costs and expenses so as to fully compensate Executive for the applicable taxes. 


(c)    Relocation assistance. To support Executive’s transition and move from Atlanta to the Scottsdale metro area, Executive will receive (i) an initial relocation allowance of $50,000 payable within thirty (30) days of the date both Parties fully execute this Agreement; and (ii) a second and final relocation allowance of $175,000 payable in January 2017.  It is the responsibility of Executive to secure income tax advice from his tax consultant or attorney regarding the tax implications of this benefit. Executive assumes all responsibility for coordination and related costs associated with the relocation. If Executive’s employment with Company ends for any reason whatsoever, either voluntarily or involuntarily, within a year of the date this Agreement is fully executed by both Parties, then Executive will be required to return a prorated portion of the relocation allowance relative to the portion of the year worked, and Executive agrees that any such repayment amount owed by Executive may be deducted from Executive’s final paycheck. In addition, the Company will directly pay for Executive’s household goods and automobiles/watercraft to be moved (including up to ninety (90) days of storage) from Atlanta to the Scottsdale metro area.


(d)    Base Salary. Company will pay Executive an annual salary of $500,000, as compensation for services (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary will be paid according to the Company’s normal payroll practices and subject to the usual and required withholdings. Executive’s salary may be reviewed and adjusted annually by Executive’s Supervisor or the Board. 


(e)    Annual Bonus. 
(i)    Commencing with the 2016 fiscal year, Executive is eligible to earn a target annual bonus of 60% of Executive’s Base Salary based upon achievement of performance objectives established under the Company’s executive bonus plan by the Board or Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion and payable upon achievement of those applicable objectives, subject to minimum and maximum limits as established by the Company (the “Annual Bonus”). (With respect to Executive’s 2016 Annual Bonus, Executive’s payout shall not be prorated based on the Effective Date, but instead, shall be paid as if Executive were employed for the entire calendar year. For example, if Executive achieves 100% of his individual performance objectives (which represent 20% of the total Annual Bonus payout) and the Company achieves 100% of its performance objectives (which represent 80% of the total Annual Bonus payout) then Executive’s 2016 Annual Bonus payout will be $300,000.) 
(ii)    Commencing with the 2018 fiscal year, Executive is eligible to earn a target annual bonus of 100% of Executive’s Base Salary based upon achievement of performance objectives established under the Company’s executive bonus plan by the Board or Compensation Committee of the Board in its sole discretion and payable upon achievement of those applicable objectives, subject to minimum and maximum limits as established by the Company (the “Annual Bonus”).
(iii)    For all fiscal years, if a non-individual performance target is lowered for other senior executives, then it will be lowered for Executive as well. If any Annual Bonus is earned, it will be paid when practicable after the Board determines it has been earned, subject to Executive being employed on the date of payment. For future years, the Board may modify the structure and performance objectives used for Annual Bonus determinations.


(f)    Equity Plan. After the Effective Date, Executive will be granted the following equity awards, which will be governed by the terms and conditions of the GoDaddy Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Incentive Plan”) and the forms of award thereunder (collectively, including the Incentive Plan, the “Equity Documents”):
(i)    $4.250 million in time-based options, with a per share exercise price equal to the closing price of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date. To determine the number of shares subject to an equity award, the specified value will be divided by the per share grant date fair value of that type of award based on the assumptions the Company uses for financial reporting, with the result rounded down to the nearest whole Share. The vesting for time-based options shall commence on the Effective Date and vest as follows, provided Executive continues to be a Service Provider under the 2015 Incentive Plan through each such date: 25% of the options shall vest on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and 1/16th of the shares subject to the Option shall vest on each quarterly anniversary date thereafter;
(ii)    $4.250 million in performance-based RSUs. The number of shares subject to such RSUs will be determined by dividing $4.25 million by the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the grant date and rounding down to the nearest whole number. The vesting of performance-based RSUs shall be based on the Company’s achievement of its performance goals for fiscal years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, achievement of which shall be determined solely by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and vest as follows, provided Executive continues to be a Service Provider 


2


 



under the 2015 Incentive Plan through each such date: 25% of the performance-based RSUs shall vest annually on the date the Board determines whether and to what extent performance targets have been met. 
(iii)    Executive shall be eligible to participate in the 2018 annual equity grant cycle. 
		
	4.
	Employee Benefits.


(a)    Executive will be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans, including invention incentive programs, maintained by the Company and generally applicable to senior executives of the Company. The Company may cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers and those changes will not breach this Agreement.
(b)    During Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive will be provided coverage under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy and form of indemnification agreement as in effect for other senior executives of the Company.
5.    Termination of Employment; Severance.
(a)    At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company agree that Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at-will” employment and may be terminated at any time with or without cause or notice. Executive understands and agrees this at-will employment relationship will not be modified or amended unless it is done in a writing that complies with Section 10(f) and Section 10(i) and explicitly references this Section 5(a). Executive’s employment will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) a termination by the Company with or without Cause, (ii) Executive’s Disability or death, or (iii) a resignation by Executive with or without Good Reason.
(b)    Terminations of Employment. Executive’s employment may be terminated under various scenarios addressed in this Section 5(b). Upon any termination of employment, Executive will receive benefits described in Section 5(b)(i). Depending on the circumstances of the termination of employment, subject to the conditions in Section 6, Executive may be entitled to a lump sum payment of the amounts listed under one of Section 5(b)(ii), Section 5(b)(iii), or Section 5(b)(iv). Executive agrees that upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive will resign as of the date of such termination and to the extent applicable, from the Board (and any committees thereof), the board of directors (and any committees thereof) of any of the Company’s affiliates and from any other positions Executive holds with the Company or any of its affiliates.
(i)    Termination for Cause or Resignation Other Than for Good Reason. Executive’s employment may be terminated for Cause, effective upon the Company’s delivery to Executive of a Notice of Termination or Executive may resign. If Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause or Executive resigns other than for Good Reason, Executive will receive:
(1)    the Base Salary accrued through the termination date, payable under the Company’s usual payment practices;
(2)    reimbursement within 60 days following submission by Executive to the Company of appropriate supporting documentation for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by Executive prior to the termination date; provided that claims for reimbursement are submitted, under Company policy, to the Company within 90 days following the termination date; and
(3)    any fully vested and non-forfeitable employee benefits to which Executive may be entitled under the Company’s employee benefit plans (other than benefits in the nature of severance pay) (the amounts described in clauses (1) through (3) above are referred to later as the “Accrued Obligations”).
(ii)    Termination by Reason of Disability or Death. Executive’s employment may be terminated effective upon the Company’s delivery to Executive of a Notice of Termination if Executive becomes Disabled and will automatically terminate upon Executive’s death. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for either Disability or death, Executive or Executive’s estate (as the case may be) will receive:
(1)    the Accrued Obligations;
(2)    any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus for a prior year. For the avoidance of doubt, if Executive is terminated after the end of a fiscal year but before annual bonuses are approved and paid to other senior executives in the normal course of business, then Executive will receive an Annual Bonus for the prior fiscal year, the actual amount of which will still be subject to the achievement of any performance targets as established by the Company the achievement of which will be determined by 


3


 



the Company. Any payment under this Section 5(b)(iii)(2) will be paid no later than one day prior to the date that is 21⁄2 months following the last day of the fiscal year in which such termination occurred; and
(3)    a prorated Annual Bonus amount for the year of termination, if any would have been payable to Executive based on achievement of performance criteria if Executive had remained employed through the full fiscal year in which the termination of employment occurred. The prorated amount will be calculated based on the number of calendar days employed and any such prorated amount will be paid no later than one day prior to the date that is 21⁄2 months following the last day of the fiscal year in which such termination occurred.
(iii)    Termination Without Cause, Resignation for Good Reason. Executive’s employment may be terminated without Cause effective upon the Company’s delivery to Executive of a Notice of Termination, or by Executive’s resignation for Good Reason effective 30 days following delivery to the Company of Notice of Termination provided such delivery is within 90 days following the occurrence of events that result in Good Reason. No resignation for Good Reason will be effective unless during the 30-day period following the delivery of the Notice of Termination, the Company has not cured the events that result in Good Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability), or if Executive resigns for Good Reason, Executive will receive:
(1)    the Accrued Obligations;
(2)    any earned but unpaid Annual Bonus for a prior year;
(3)    an amount equal to a prorated amount of the target Annual Bonus for the year of termination;
(4)    a payment equal to 50% of the annual Base Salary in effect on the termination date; and
(5)    a payment equal to the cost of health insurance coverage under COBRA for 6 months.
(iv)    Termination of Employment During a Change in Control Period. If Executive’s employment is terminated under circumstances that would entitle Executive to payment of benefits under Section 5(b)(iii) and such termination of employment occurs during the period that begins three months prior to a Change in Control and ends on the date that is 18 months after a Change in Control, then Executive will receive the benefits described in Section 5(b)(iii), but the payment in Section 5(b)(iii)(3) will be equal to 150% of target Annual Bonus, the payment in Section 5(b)(iii)(4) will be equal to 150% of annual Base Salary in effect on the termination date (or the date immediately prior to the Change in Control if higher), and the health insurance coverage payment in Section 5(b)(iii)(5) will be for 12 months.


(c)    Exclusive Remedy. If a termination of Executive’s employment with the Company occurs, the provisions of this Section 5 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this Agreement. Executive will be entitled to no severance or other benefits upon termination of employment other than those benefits expressly set forth in this Section 5.
6.    Conditions to Receipt of Severance; No Duty to Mitigate.
(a)    Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. Executive will not receive severance pay or benefits other than the Accrued Obligations unless (x) Executive signs and does not revoke a separation agreement and release of claims in the form attached as Exhibit A, but with any appropriate reasonable modifications, reflecting changes in applicable law, as is necessary to provide the Company with the protection it would have if the Release was executed as of the date of this Agreement (the “Release”) and (y) such Release becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the termination date (such deadline, the “Release Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to severance or benefits under this Agreement. All payments will be made upon the effectiveness of the Release but will be delayed until a subsequent calendar year if necessary so their timing does not result in penalty taxation under Section 409A. Severance payments or benefits will not be paid or provided until the Release becomes effective and irrevocable. For avoidance of doubt, although Executive’s severance payments and benefits are contractual rights, not “damages,” Executive is not required to seek other employment or otherwise “mitigate damages” as a condition of receiving such payments and benefits.
(b)    If any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” under Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 409A would be payable under this Agreement by reason of Executive’s “separation from service” during a period in which Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A as determined by the Company), then 


4


 



any payment or benefits will be delayed until the earliest date on which they could be paid or distributed without being subject to penalty taxation under Section 409A.
(c)    Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).
(d)    Covenants. Executive’s receipt of any payment or benefits other than Accrued Obligations will be subject to Executive continuing to comply with her confidentiality obligations to the Company and Section 9.

(b)    Change in Control means Change in Control as defined in the 2015 Incentive Plan.
(c)    Disabled means physically or mentally incapacitated and unable for a period of six (6) consecutive months or for an aggregate of nine (9) months in any twenty-four (24) consecutive month period to perform Executive’s duties (such incapacity is a “Disability”).

If Executive and the Company cannot agree as to a qualified independent physician, each will appoint a physician and those two physicians will select a third physician who will make such determination in writing. The determination will be final and conclusive for this Agreement.
(d)    Good Reason means (i) a significant reduction of Executive’s duties, position, reporting structure, or responsibilities, relative to Executive’s duties, position, reporting structure or responsibilities as of the Effective Date; (ii) a reduction in Executive’s Base Salary or Annual Bonus as of the Effective Date; (iii) the relocation of Executive’s place of employment to a facility or location more than thirty-five (35) miles from Executive’s current place of employment.
8.    Limitation on Payments; Section 280G. If any severance or other benefits payable to Executive (i) are “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G and (ii) but for this Section 8, would be subject to the “golden parachute” excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s severance benefits will reduced to a level that will result in no tax under Code Section 4999 unless it would be better economically for Executive receive all of the benefits and pay the excise tax. If a reduction in benefits is necessary for this purpose, then the reduction will occur in the following order (1) reduction of the cash severance payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards; and (3) reduction of continued employee benefits. If the acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, that acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the grant date of Executive’s equity awards. Any determination required under this Section 8 will be made in writing by an independent professional services firm chosen by the Company immediately prior to a Change of Control and paid for by the Company and that determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes.
9.    Covenants.

This Agreement between GoDaddy.com, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona (“GoDaddy”), and the undersigned employee (“Employee”), is effective on the date that Employee's employment with GoDaddy actively begins, or the date that Employee signs this agreement, whichever is later.


1.Purpose. As an employee of GoDaddy, Employee will be exposed to GoDaddy's Confidential Information. Employee understands that if this information is not properly restricted, it could be used to create irreparable harm to GoDaddy, including the loss of its customers and employees. As a result, Employee agrees that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect GoDaddy's legitimate business interests.


2.Consideration. Signing this Agreement is a requirement of Employee's employment with GoDaddy and Employee agrees that employment, if signed on initial hire, or continued employment, if signed during employment, is adequate consideration for entering this Agreement.


3.At Will Employment. This Agreement does not change the at-will employment relationship between Employee and GoDaddy, which means that either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time with or without cause, reason or notice.


4.Duty of Loyalty. While employed with GoDaddy, Employee must faithfully and loyally serve GoDaddy and will not take any actions that would interfere with the business of GoDaddy, or conduct work similar to the work Employee performs for GoDaddy for any company or person without the specific written permission of GoDaddy.

5.Non-Competition. Employee shall not, for a period of one year (and if one year is determined by a court to be unenforceable, for a period of 6 months) following the termination of Employee's employment with GoDaddy, provide services to a competitor that are the same as or substantially similar to those Employee provided to GoDaddy while employed. A competitor is a person or business that offers products or services that are the same or similar in function or purpose to the products or services provided by GoDaddy within the last two years of Employee's employment by GoDaddy. Because of the nature of services provided on the Internet, this restriction is not geographically limited, provided, however, that if a court determines that the lack of a geographical limitation renders any part of this Agreement unenforceable, this restriction shall be limited to providing such products or services within a 50 mile radius from the location in which Employee was employed by GoDaddy at the time of the termination of Employee's employment.
6. Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. Employee will maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information, as defined herein, and will not engage in any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information during employment at GoDaddy and for as long as the information is maintained as Confidential Information by GoDaddy. “Confidential Information” refers to information in any form related to GoDaddy's business that GoDaddy has not made public or has not authorized for public disclosure and that is not already generally known to the public or to other persons who might obtain value or competitive advantage from its disclosure or use.
