    4.2         Bonus.  Executive

said bonus to be determined in the discretion of the Board of

employment other than (i) Annual Salary earned and accrued under this Agreement

    7.           Covenants of
Executive.

     

    7.1         Non-Competition;
Non-Solicitation.  As a material inducement to IntraLinks to
enter into this Agreement, Executive hereby expressly agrees to be bound by the
following covenants, terms and conditions.  Executive hereby agrees
that he has had and/or will have access to trade secrets, proprietary and
confidential information relating to IntraLinks and its affiliates and their
respective clients, including but not limited to, marketing data, financial
information, client and prospect lists (including without limitation, computer-
and web-based compilations (including but not limited to salesforce.com or other
CRM system data) maintained by IntraLinks or its affiliates or Executive), and
details of programs and methods, potential and actual acquisitions, divestitures
and joint ventures, pricing policies, strategies, terms of service, business and
product plans, cost information and software, in each case of IntraLinks, its
affiliates and/or their respective clients.  Accordingly, Executive
voluntarily enters into the following covenants to provide IntraLinks with
reasonable protection of those interests:

     

    (a)           Executive
agrees that during the term of his employment with IntraLinks and for a period
of two (2) years thereafter, Executive shall not, alone or as an employee,
officer, director, agent, shareholder (other than an owner of 1% or less of the

        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (i)           engage
in any Competitive Activity, as defined below, within or with respect to any
location in the United States or abroad in which Executive performed or directed
his services (including but not limited to sales and customer support calls,
whether conducted in person, by telephone or online) at any time during the
twelve month period immediately preceding the termination of Executive’s
employment for any reason (the “Territories”), or assist any other person or
organization in engaging in, or preparing to engage in, any Competitive Activity
in such Territories;

     

    (ii)           solicit
or provide services to any Clients, as defined below, of IntraLinks and/or any
of its affiliates, on his own behalf or on behalf of any third party, in
furtherance of any Competitive Activity.  For purposes of this Section
7, “Client” shall mean any current or former customer of IntraLinks or user of
IntraLinks’ services or software at any time during the term of Executive’s
employment with IntraLinks;

     

    (iii)           encourage,
participate in or solicit any employee or consultant of IntraLinks and/or any
affiliate to engage in Competitive Activity or to accept employment with any
third party whether or not engaged in Competitive Activity.  This
subsection (iii) shall be limited to employees and consultants who: (A) are
current employees or consultants; or (B) left the employment of IntraLinks or
whose provision of services to IntraLinks terminated within the twelve (12)
month period prior to Executive’s termination of employment with IntraLinks for
any reason; and

     

    (iv)           for
purposes of this Agreement, “Competitive Activity” shall mean any offering,
sale, licensing or provision by any entity of any software, application service
or system, in direct competition with IntraLinks’ offerings and including
electronic or digital document repositories for facilitating transactional due
diligence, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, financings, investments,
investor relations, research and development, clinical trials or other business
processes for which IntraLinks’ products or services are or have been used
during the twelve (12) month period preceding termination of Executive’s
employment for any reason.

     

    (b)           Executive
agrees that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable and justified in light of:
(i) the nature of IntraLinks’ business and customers; (ii) the confidential and
proprietary information to which Executive has had and will have exposure and
access during the course of his employment with IntraLinks; and (iii) the need
for the adequate protection of the business and the goodwill of
IntraLinks.  In the event any restriction in this Section 7 is deemed
to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, Executive
agrees to the reduction of said restriction to such period or scope that such
court deems reasonable and enforceable.

     

    (c)           Executive
acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Section 7 shall cause IntraLinks
immediate, substantial and irreparable harm and therefore, in the event of any
such breach, Executive agrees that he or she shall immediately forfeit all
compensation paid or payable pursuant to 6.3(b), without prejudice to any other
remedies which may be available to IntraLinks, and IntraLinks shall have the
right to seek specific performance and injunctive relief, without the need to
post a bond or other security.

    (d)           Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 7 are in addition
to, and not in lieu of, any non-solicitation, non-competition, confidentiality,
nonraid and/or similar obligations which Executive may have with respect to
IntraLinks and/or its affiliates, whether by agreement, fiduciary obligation or
otherwise.  Without in any way limiting the provisions of this Section
7, Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section
7 shall remain applicable in accordance with their terms after the date of
termination of Executive’s employment, regardless of whether Executive’s
termination or cessation of employment is voluntary or involuntary.

     

    7.2         Confidential and Proprietary
Information.  During and after the term of Executive’s
employment with IntraLinks, Executive covenants and agrees that he will not
disclose to anyone without IntraLinks’ prior written consent, any confidential

    7.3         Rights and Remedies upon
Breach.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that his breach of

remedy.  Therefore, if Executive breaches or threatens to commit a
breach of any Restrictive Covenant, IntraLinks shall have the following rights
and remedies (in accordance with applicable law and upon compliance with any
necessary prerequisites imposed by law upon the availability of such remedies),
each of which rights an remedies shall be independent of the other and severally
enforceable, and all of which right and remedies shall be in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to IntraLinks under law
or in equity (including, without limitation, the recovery of
damages):

     

    (a) To
have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced (without posting bond and
without the need to prove damages) by any court having jurisdiction, including,
without limitation, the right to seek an entry against Executive of restraining
orders and injunctions (preliminary, mandatory, temporary and permanent) against
violations, threatened or actual, and whether or not then continuing, of such
covenants;

     

    (b) To
require Executive to forfeit his right to receive the balance of any
compensation due him which is not yet earned and accrued under this Agreement
(whether it be in the form of Annual Salary, expenses or paid time off);
and

     

    (c) To
require Executive to account for and pay over to IntraLinks all compensation,
profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively,
“Profits”) derived or received by him as the result of any transactions
constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants, and Executive shall account
for and pay over the Profits to IntraLinks.

by IntraLinks.

     

    9.           Other
Provisions

     

    9.1         Severability.  Executive
acknowledges and agrees that (i) she has had an opportunity to seek advice of
counsel in connection with this Agreement; and (ii) the Restrictive Covenants
are reasonable in geographical and temporal scope and in all other

that any provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any
Restrictive Covenant, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of the Agreement shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full
effect, without regard to the invalid provisions.  The parties hereto
will substitute for the invalid or unenforceable provision a new, mutually
acceptable, valid and enforceable provision of like economic

thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographical scope of such
provision, the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, shall be
reduced so that such provision becomes enforceable and, in its reduced form,
such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.
