Amendment to Employment Agreement


 


This Amendment to Employment Agreement (“Amendment”) is made in the State of Washington by and between _______________ (“Executive”) and Isoray, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Company”).


 


WHEREAS, the parties entered into that certain Employment Agreement that Executive signed on _______________ (“the Employment Agreement”);


 


WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Employment Agreement under the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment; and


 


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements, covenants, and provisions contained in this Amendment, the parties agree and declare as follows:


 


1.     Amendment of Post-Employment Restrictions. The parties hereby amend Section 8 of the Employment Agreement to read as follows:


 


“Post-Employment Restrictions.


 


a.     Non-Solicitation of Employees/Contractors. Executive acknowledges the character of the Company’s business and the substantial amount of time, money, and effort that the Company has spent and will spend in recruiting, hiring, training, and retaining, and developing Confidential Information relating to, employees and contractors. Executive agrees that he will not, during his relationship with the Company and during the twelve (12) months immediately following the conclusion of the term of his service on behalf of the Company, alone or with others, directly or indirectly, except for the Company’s benefit:


 


i.     Solicit for employment, hire, or employ, or cause to be solicited for employment, hired, or employed, any employee or contractor that Executive has had contact with during his relationship with the Company; or


 


ii.     Induce, attempt to induce, encourage or attempt to persuade to leave the Company or otherwise to alter its business relationship with the Company any Company employee or contractor that Executive has had contact with during his relationship with the Company.


 


If a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator finds that a twelve (12) month restricted period is not reasonably necessary to protect legitimate business interests of the Company, Executive agrees that the restricted period for the non-solicitation of employees/contractors shall be the six (6) months immediately following any conclusion of the term of Executive’s service.


 



 




 




 


b.     Non-Solicitation of Company Customer. Executive agrees that during the term of Executive’s service on behalf of the Company, and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the conclusion of the term of Executive’s service on behalf of the Company, regardless of the reason, Executive shall not either directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of another person or entity, without the prior written permission of the Company, (i) solicit, call on, contact, or communicate with any Company Customer; (ii) provide to any Company Customer products or services of the kind provided by the Company; (iii) induce, influence, or attempt to induce or influence any Company Customer to refrain from purchasing products or services from the Company; (iv) induce, influence, or attempt to induce or influence any Company Customer to terminate or otherwise alter its contractual or other business relationship with the Company; or (v) accept any money or financial benefit from referring, introducing, or disclosing information about any Company Customer to anyone outside of the Company.


 


c.     Definition of Company Customer. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company Customer” means any person or entity (i) with which Executive had business-related contact of any kind (including, without limitation, in person, by phone, or in writing) on behalf of the Company during the one (1) year immediately prior to Executive’s departure from the Company; or (ii) is a person or entity about which Executive learned or had access to information about that is not publicly known during the twelve (12) months immediately prior to Executive’s departure from the Company; or (iii) is a person or entity (including vendor or supplier) the Company has a contractual relationship with during the twelve (12) months immediately prior to Executive’s departure from the Company and with which Executive had business-related contact on behalf of the Company or about which Executive learned or had access to any information about that is not publicly known. “Company Customer” does not include persons or entities who ceased doing business with the Company for reasons unrelated to a breach of this Agreement by or other wrongful act of the Executive or by others who were under the direction of Executive.


 


d.     Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges that his fulfillment of the obligations contained in Section 8 of this Agreement is necessary to protect the Company’s Confidential Information as that term is defined herein and to preserve trade secrets, value, and goodwill of the Company. Executive further acknowledges that the time and scope limitations of his obligations set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement are reasonable, especially in light of the Company’s desire to protect its Confidential Information and trade secrets, and that Executive will not be precluded from earning a living if he is obligated not to solicit any Company Customer.

4.     Adjudication Of Amendment. If any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction holds that any provision of this Amendment is invalid or unenforceable, the parties desire and agree that the remaining parts of this Amendment will nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable.
