Dear Mr. Martin:

 

In anticipation of your voluntary resignation as President of Gemma Power Systems, LLC, this Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) sets forth the agreement between you and Gemma Power Systems, LLC, including its current and former parents, direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliated entities, and their respective current and former successors, assigns, representatives, agents, attorneys, shareholders, officers, directors and employees, both individually and in their official capacities (collectively, “Gemma”).

 

1.                                      End of Employment.  Your role as an employee, officer, and/or director of Gemma will end on November 17, 2017 (the “Separation Date”).  The last day you are obligated to report to work will be November 17, 2017.  Gemma will pay you your normal salary through the Separation Date.  This payment shall be made less applicable withholdings and deductions (and pursuant to Gemma’s standard payroll practices) by November 20, 2017.  In addition, Gemma will pay you the value of any accrued but unused vacation.  This payment shall be made less applicable withholdings and deductions (and pursuant to Gemma’s standard payroll practices) on the first pay date following the Separation Date.

 

2.                                      Consideration.  You agree that you are not entitled to any additional benefits, other than as set forth in Paragraph 1.  However, in consideration for your signing this Agreement (setting forth the terms of your separation from Gemma), and in exchange for the promises, covenants and waivers set forth herein, and provided you have not revoked or breached this Agreement, then:

 

(a)                                 Gemma will pay you a first payment in an amount of Two Hundred Fifty-Two Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($252,000.00) (“First Separation Payment”), no earlier than January 1, 2018 and no later than January 15, 2018, following your return of this fully executed Agreement.  This First Separation Payment shall be made in a lump sum payment, less applicable withholdings and deductions.

 

(b)                                 Gemma will pay you a second payment in an amount of One Hundred Fifty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars and Zero Cents ($157,500.00) (“Second Separation Payment”), no earlier than January 1, 2019 and no later than January 15, 2019, following your return of this fully executed Agreement.  This Second Separation Payment shall be made in a lump sum payment, less applicable withholdings and deductions.

 











 

(c)                                  Gemma will pay you a third and final payment in an amount of Two Hundred Twenty Thousand Five Hundred Dollars and Zero Cents ($220,500.00) (“Third Separation Payment”), no earlier than January 1, 2020 and no later than January 15, 2020, following your return of this fully executed Agreement.  This Third Separation Payment shall be made in a lump sum payment, less applicable withholdings and deductions.

 

(d)                                 To the extent provided by the federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws, and by Gemma’s current group health insurance policies, you will be eligible to continue your group health insurance benefits at your own expense.  If you timely elect continued coverage under COBRA, following your return of this fully executed Agreement, Gemma will pay the premium to continue your health insurance coverage through Gemma’s benefit plan through May 30, 2018 (“COBRA Premium Period”).  At the end of the COBRA Premium Period, you shall be eligible to continue coverage, pursuant to COBRA, and shall be responsible for the entire COBRA premium for the remainder of the applicable COBRA continuation period.  If you become eligible to participate in another health insurance plan or arrangement through another employer or spousal plan during the COBRA Premium Period, you must immediately notify Gemma and Gemma shall no longer pay for your COBRA benefits coverage.  Please note that after May 30, 2018, or after November 30, 2017 should you elect not to execute this Agreement, you will have the opportunity to continue health insurance benefits at your sole expense under the provisions of COBRA.  Election forms to enroll in COBRA coverage will be provided separately.

 

3.                                      Waiver, Release and Discharge.

You further understand and acknowledge that Gemma invested significant time and expense in developing the Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and goodwill.  You further understand and acknowledge that the restrictive covenants below are necessary to protect Gemma’s legitimate business interests in its Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and goodwill.

(b)                                 Protection of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets.

8.                                      Tax and Statutory Deductions; IRC Section 409A.  Gemma may deduct or withhold from any compensation or benefits any applicable federal, state or local tax or employment withholdings or deductions resulting from any payments or benefits provided under this Agreement.  In addition, it is Gemma’s intention that all payments or benefits provided under this Agreement shall be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and this Agreement shall be interpreted, administered and operated accordingly.  If under this Agreement an amount is to be paid in installments, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(ii).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Gemma does not guarantee the tax treatment of any payments or benefits under this Agreement, including without limitation under the Code, federal, state, local or foreign tax laws and regulations.  You also agree that Gemma, including any representative or attorney of Gemma, has not made any promise, representation or warranty regarding the tax consequences of any amounts paid under this Agreement or any of your obligations regarding any impact of the payments herein.

 

9.                                      Duty to Assist in Litigation or Investigation.

Gemma agrees to reimbursement the reasonable out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by you (excluding attorneys’ fees) in connection with such assistance or cooperation.  Receipts or evidence of the costs incurred may be required prior to reimbursement.

 

10.                               D&O Insurance.  After the Separation Date, you shall remain eligible for coverage as a director and/or officer of Gemma under any applicable directors and officers insurance policy maintained by Gemma as of the Separation Date, subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions and limitations of such policy.

 

11.                               Remedies.

Accordingly, you agree that Gemma is entitled to protection from such violations, both actual and threatened, including protection by injunctive relief, in addition to other remedies available under law.  If any party brings an action to enforce this Agreement or to obtain damages for a breach thereof, such party shall not be required to post bond.  All of Gemma’s remedies for breach of this Agreement are cumulative and the pursuit of one remedy will not be deemed to exclude other remedies.

 

12.                               Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.  In the event of a claim of breach under this Agreement by any party, which results in any litigation, arbitration or other legal action, the

prevailing party, as determined by the Court or other tribunal, shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all of their reasonable attorneys’ fees,  professionals’ fees, and costs.

 

13.                               Severability.  Except as provided below, if any of the provisions, terms or clauses of this Agreement are declared illegal, unenforceable or ineffective in a legal forum, those provisions, terms and clauses shall be deemed severable, such that all other provisions, terms and clauses of this Agreement shall remain valid and binding upon both parties.  In the event Paragraph 3 is declared illegal, unenforceable or ineffective in a legal forum, then Gemma, at its sole election, may either declare this Agreement null and void, and of no force and effect whatsoever, or redraft Paragraph 3 to cure the defect.  In the event Gemma declares this Agreement null and void, then you agree to return all sums paid under Paragraph 2.  In the event Gemma redrafts Paragraph 3 to cure the defect, you agree to cooperate with Gemma and to timely execute a new Agreement containing the revised Paragraph 3.  Further, in the event you take any action to challenge the enforceability of Paragraph 6, or if such provisions are declared illegal, unenforceable or ineffective in an action brought by you or by Gemma against you, then Gemma’s obligation to provide the consideration set forth in Paragraph 2 shall be of no force and effect whatsoever, and you agree to repay all amounts previously paid to you thereunder, and the releases provided in Paragraph 3 will no longer be effective.

 

14.                               Right to Participate in Agency Proceedings; Waiver of Remedy or Relief.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit you from filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or comparable state or local agency, or from participating in any investigation or inquiry by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or comparable state or local agency.  You acknowledge that you shall not be entitled to any monetary or equitable remedy as a result of any such charge or investigation.

 

15.                               Not a Precedent.  This Agreement is not intended to establish and should not be interpreted as establishing a practice or policy of Gemma in connection with the treatment of any employee or the separation or termination of employment of any employee.

 

16.                               Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Gemma and you, and supersedes and cancels all prior and contemporaneous written and oral agreements between Gemma and you.  You affirm that, in entering into this Agreement, you are not relying upon any oral or written promise or statement made by anyone at any time on behalf of Gemma.

 

17.                               Changes or Alterations.  This Agreement may not be changed or altered, except by a writing signed by Gemma and you.

 

18.                               JURY WAIVER.  EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, PROCEEDING, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND/OR THE EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP.
