EXHIBIT A

TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD GRANT NOTICE

NOVANTA INC. RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

	

	
Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached, Novanta Inc. (f/k/a GSI Group Inc.), a company organized under the laws of the Province of New Brunswick, Canada (the “Company”), has granted to Participant an award of restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units” or “RSUs”) under the Novanta Inc. 2010 Incentive Award Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).  

ARTICLE 1.
GENERAL

1.1Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Grant Notice or the Plan.  As used herein, the term “stock unit” shall mean a non-voting unit of measurement which is deemed for bookkeeping purposes to be equivalent to one outstanding share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Article 14 of the Plan) solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement.  The Restricted Stock Units shall be used solely as a device for the determination of the payment to eventually be made to Participant if such Restricted Stock Units vest pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof.  The Restricted Stock Units shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind.

1.2Incorporation of Terms of Plan.  The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan which are incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

ARTICLE 2.
GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

2.1Grant of RSUs.  In consideration of Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or a Subsidiary and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of  (the “Grant Date”), the Company grants to Participant an award of RSUs as set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustments as provided in Article 14 of the Plan.  

2.2Company’s Obligation to Pay.  Each RSU has a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date it becomes vested.  Unless and until the RSUs will have vested in the manner set forth in Article 2 hereof, Participant will have no right to payment of any such RSUs.  Prior to actual payment of any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.  

2.3Vesting Schedule.  

(a)Subject to Sections 2.3(b) and 2.5 hereof, the RSUs awarded by the Grant Notice will, subject to Participant’s continued employment or services through the applicable vesting dates, vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable portion thereof according to the following vesting schedule:  

A-1

 

 

(i)Other than with respect to the final installment, the number of RSUs that shall vest and become nonforfeitable on each applicable vesting date shall be rounded down to the next whole number.  Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, partial employment or service, even if substantial, during any vesting period will not entitle Participant to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a Termination of Service as provided in Section 2.5 hereof or under the Plan.

(b)Notwithstanding Section 2.3(a) hereof, the RSUs will become fully vested and nonforfeitable with respect to all shares of Common Stock covered thereby upon the date of Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company without Cause if such Termination of Service occurs on or within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall have the meaning of “Cause” (or similar term) set forth in Participant’s written employment or similar agreement or, if no such written employment or similar agreement (or no definition of “Cause” or similar term therein), shall mean (i) Participant’s willful failure to substantially perform his or her duties; (ii) Participant’s willful failure to carry out, or comply with, in any material respect any lawful and reasonable directive of the Board (or his or her supervisor); (iii) Participant’s commission at any time of any act or omission that results in, or may reasonably be expected to result in, a conviction, plea of no contest, plea of nolo contendere, or imposition of unadjudicated probation for any felony or crime involving moral turpitude; or (iv) Participant’s unlawful use (including being under the influence) or possession of illegal drugs on the premises of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or while performing Participant’s duties and responsibilities for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

2.4Consideration to the Company.  As a condition precedent to the grant of the award of RSUs by the Company, Participant shall have executed and delivered to the Company an Employee Patent and Proprietary Information Utilization, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement (or similar agreement) in the Company’s then-applicable form.  In further consideration of the grant of the award of RSUs by the Company, Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary.  Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and Participant.

2.5Forfeiture, Termination and Cancellation upon Termination of Service.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.3(b), upon Participant’s Termination of Service for any or no reason, all then unvested RSUs subject to this Agreement will thereupon be automatically forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and Participant, or Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder.

2.6Payment upon Vesting.  

(a)As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such vesting date (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the “short-term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code), the Company shall deliver to Participant (or any transferee permitted under Section 3.2 hereof) a number of shares of Common Stock (either by delivering one or more certificates for such shares or by entering such shares in book entry form, as determined by the 

A-2

 

 

Company in its sole discretion) equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this award that vest on the applicable vesting date, unless such Restricted Stock Units terminate prior to the given vesting date pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event shares of Common Stock cannot be issued pursuant to Section 2.7(a), (b) or (c) hereof, then the shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator determines that shares of Common Stock can again be issued in accordance with Sections 2.7(a), (b) and (c) hereof.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to require payment by Participant of any sums required by applicable law to be withheld with respect to the grant of RSUs or the issuance of shares of Common Stock.  Such payment shall be made by deduction from other compensation payable to Participant or in the following other form of consideration:

(i)Cash or check;

(ii)With the consent of the Administrator, surrender of shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the RSUs) held for such period of time as may be required by the Administrator in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery not greater than the aggregate amount required to be withheld based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in Participant’s applicable jurisdiction for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes; or

(iii)Other property acceptable to the Administrator (including, without limitation, through the delivery of a notice that Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of Common Stock then issuable under the RSUs, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of its withholding obligations; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale).

The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing shares of Common Stock to Participant or Participant’s legal representative or enter such share of Common Stock in book entry form unless and until Participant or Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the grant of the RSUs or the issuance of shares of Common Stock.

2.7Conditions to Delivery of Common Stock.  Subject to Section 12.4 of the Plan, the shares of Common Stock deliverable hereunder, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or issued shares of Common Stock which have then been reacquired by the Company.  Such shares of Common Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock deliverable hereunder or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(a)The admission of such shares of Common Stock to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Common Stock is then listed; 

(b)The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares of Common Stock under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; 

A-3

 

 

(c)The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; 

(d)The receipt by the Company of all payments in connection with such shares of Common Stock, including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which may be in one or more of the forms of consideration permitted under Section 2.6(b) hereof; and

(e)The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

2.8Rights as Stockholder.  The holder of the RSUs shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the RSUs and any shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs and deliverable hereunder unless and until such shares of Common Stock shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the shares of Common Stock are issued, except as provided in Section 14.2 of the Plan.  

ARTICLE 3.
OTHER PROVISIONS

3.1Administration.  The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan, this Agreement and the Grant Notice and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules.  All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons.  No member of the Committee or the Board shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the RSUs. 

3.2Grant is Not Transferable.  During the lifetime of Participant, the RSUs may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares of Common Stock have lapsed.  Neither the RSUs nor any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.

3.3Binding Agreement.  Subject to the limitation on the transferability of the RSUs contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

3.4Adjustments Upon Specified Events.  The Administrator may accelerate payment and vesting of the Restricted Stock Units in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine.  In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Common Stock contemplated by 

A-4

 

 

Article 14 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such Common Stock), the Administrator shall make such adjustments the Administrator deems appropriate in the number of Restricted Stock Units then outstanding and the number and kind of securities that may be issued in respect of the Restricted Stock Units.  Participant acknowledges that the RSUs are subject to amendment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and Article 14 of the Plan.  

3.5Notices.  Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office, and any notice to be given to Participant shall be addressed to Participant at Participant’s last address reflected on the Company’s records.  By a notice given pursuant to this Section 3.5, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party.  Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.

3.6Titles.  Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

3.7Governing Law.  The laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

3.8Conformity to Securities Laws.  Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the RSUs are granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

3.9Amendments, Suspension and Termination.  To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Committee or the Board; provided that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely affect the RSUs in any material way without the prior written consent of Participant.    

3.10Successors and Assigns.  The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.  Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

3.11Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the RSUs and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.  

A-5

 

 

3.12Entire Agreement.  The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.

3.13Section 409A.  The RSUs are not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”).  However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that the RSUs (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate either for the RSUs to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.  No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A from Participant or any other individual to the Company or any of its affiliates, employees or agents.

3.14Limitation on Participant’s Rights.  Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided.  This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust.  Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets.  Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the RSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to RSUs, as and when payable hereunder.

3.15Account Administration.  The Company may from time to time appoint a broker to administer the awards under the Plan.  To the extent the Company appoints such a broker, Participant agrees that he or she shall, upon request by the Company, open an employee brokerage services account at such broker.

Proprietary Information.

(a)I understand and agree that my employment with the Company may involve access to information, whether or not in tangible form, which is the exclusive property of the Company and which is not known generally by the public, and to information which is identified as proprietary and/or confidential by the Company or which I have reason to believe is being maintained in confidence, whether embodied in memoranda, manuals, drafts, letters, drawings or other documents, computer disks, tapes or other information storage devices or any other media (“Proprietary Information”).  Proprietary Information may be information identified at the time of disclosure as confidential or proprietary or information which by its context would reasonably be deemed to be confidential or proprietary.  Proprietary Information includes, among other things, Inventions (as defined below), Third Party Information (as defined below), Records (as defined below), all plans regarding, and results, intermediate and final, of, the Company’s research activities in which I may participate or of which I may obtain knowledge during my employment, business, manufacturing and research methods, product designs and specifications, manufacturing procedures and tolerances, research tools, test procedures, prices and pricing formulae, cost and other financial information, customers’ special materials and product specifications and requirements, information concerning suppliers, sales records, sales reports, employee and personnel information and other human resources data, customer lists, customer contact reports, customer records, unreleased products and services, market analyses, technical notebooks, manuals and documentation, development plans, marketing and business plans, agreements with third parties, budgets, information regarding the skills and compensation of Company employees and contractors, and other non-public information regarding the Company available to me during the term of my employment.  I agree to treat Proprietary Information as confidential both during my employment and thereafter and shall recognize and protect the property rights of the Company in its Proprietary Information.

(b)I agree that all materials or media containing Proprietary Information, whether created by me or others, which comes into my custody, possession or control, are the exclusive property of the Company to be used by me only in the performance of my duties for the Company.  I will take all necessary steps to maintain the confidentiality of such information.  I will not copy or 

B-1

 

remove such materials or media or copies thereof from the Company premises except in the pursuit of the business of the Company.  

(c)I also agree to maintain in confidence information disclosed to the Company by third parties, whether or not in tangible form, which is identified as confidential or proprietary under a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement or which I have reason to believe is being maintained in confidence, or which is information of the type that would be expected to be held in confidence, whether embodied in memoranda, manuals, drafts, letters, drawings or other documents, computer disks, tapes or other information storage devices or any other media (“Third Party Information”).  I agree not to use Third Party Information except in the furtherance of my duties as an employee of the Company and consistent with the Company’s agreement with the applicable third party.  

(d)I also represent and agree that I will not improperly use or disclose, in connection with my employment by the Company, information obtained from others, which I know to be confidential or proprietary, including information from prior employment or consulting arrangements.  I further represent that my employment with the Company will not constitute a violation of any contractual agreement with a former employer or third party, including any agreement regarding that party’s confidential or proprietary information.  I will not disclose to the Company, use in the performance of my work for the Company, or induce the Company to use, any Inventions, confidential or proprietary information, or other material belonging to any previous employer or to any other party in violation of any obligation of confidentiality to such party or in violation of such party’s proprietary rights.

(e)I shall promptly notify my supervisor or any officer of the Company if I learn of any possible unauthorized use or disclosure of Proprietary Information and shall cooperate fully with the Company to enforce its rights in such information.

(f)I acknowledge that the Company has provided me with the following notice of immunity rights in compliance with the requirements of the Defend Trade Secrets Act: (i) I shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of Proprietary Information that is made in confidence to a federal, state or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, (ii) I shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of Proprietary Information that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal and (iii) if I file a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, I may disclose the Proprietary Information to my attorney and use the Proprietary Information in the court proceeding, if I file any document containing the Proprietary Information under seal, and do not disclose the Proprietary Information, except pursuant to court order.

	
3.
	
Patents and Inventions.

(a)I assign to the Company, waive all claims to moral rights to, will hold for the Company’s exclusive benefit, and will confirm assignment of in writing without compensation, my entire right, title and interest in any inventions, discoveries, techniques, processes, devices, improvements, refinements, modifications, methods, ideas, concepts, know-how, trade secrets or Works of Authorship (as defined below) conceived, made and/or reduced to practice by me, either solely or jointly with others, and whether patentable or not (“Inventions”), during my employment with the Company and which fall within the scope of the Company’s actual or anticipated business or research and development, whether made within or outside of my usual 

B-2

 

work hours, and whether on or off Company premises (“Employee Inventions”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, I understand that this agreement does not require assignment of any Invention to the extent such Invention qualifies for protection under Section 2870 of the California Labor Code, Section 49.44.140 of the Revised Code of Washington, 765 Illinois Compiled Statutes 1060, Section 44-130 of the Kansas Statutes, or Section 181.78 of the 2010 Minnesota Statutes, the current text of each which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (such laws, the “Invention Laws”).  Inventions include, without limitation, software (in any form including source code and object code), algorithms, application programming interfaces (APIs), apparatus, circuit designs and assemblies, technical and business data, databases and data collections, designs, diagrams, documentation, Records, drawings, flow charts, formulae, gate arrays, materials, development plans, designs and brand elements, models, network configurations and architectures, photomasks, procedures, protocols, schematics, semiconductor devices, specifications, subroutines, techniques, test vectors, tools, user interfaces, developments and derivative works with respect to any of the foregoing, and any other forms of technology.  

(b)I will make prompt and full disclosure of Employee Inventions to the Company and maintain records of creative or inventive activities related thereto (“Records”) and deliver the Records to the Company at termination of employment or as requested by the Company.  In addition, I will promptly disclose to the Company all Inventions that I conceive, make, or reduce to specific form, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment by the Company that I believe qualify under the Invention Laws, or any similar laws (each such Invention, a “Restricted Invention”).  At the time of disclosure of a Restricted Invention I will provide to the Company in writing evidence to substantiate the belief that such Invention qualifies as a Restricted Invention.  I understand that the Company will keep in confidence any non-public information disclosed in writing to the Company by me pursuant to this Agreement relating to Restricted Inventions.  

(c)The term “Prior Inventions” shall mean any Inventions which I have, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to specific form or caused to be conceived, developed or reduced to specific form prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company that relate to the current or planned conduct of the Company.  Without limiting my obligations under Paragraph 2(d), if I use a Prior Invention in the course of my employment or incorporate a Prior Invention in any product, service or other offering of the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, I hereby grant Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable, worldwide right to make, use, sell, import, reproduce, distribute, modify, display, perform and sublicense such Prior Invention for the purpose of developing, manufacturing, marketing, selling, supporting, and distributing Company products, services, and other Company offerings worldwide either directly or through multiple tiers of distribution.  

(d)During and after my employment with the Company, I will assist the Company, at the Company’s expense and without cost to me, in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, maintaining, enforcing, licensing, or transferring the Company’s rights in any and all countries with respect to Employee Inventions or other Inventions assigned by me to the Company, or which I am bound to assign to the Company (or any proprietary rights related thereto), and for that purpose, I will sign all documents which the Company may deem necessary or desirable.  I understand the Company may provide, by mutual agreement, legal representation to me at the Company’s expense and without cost to me, concerning issues associated with litigation involving third parties regarding any Inventions, which become the subject of this Agreement.  The mutual agreement by each of the Company and me regarding such legal representation will not be unreasonably withheld.  I further agree that if the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any documents which the Company may deem necessary or desirable in 

B-3

 

applying for, obtaining, perfecting, maintaining, enforcing, licensing or transferring the Company’s rights in any and all countries with respect to Employee Inventions or other Inventions assigned by me to the Company, or which I am bound to assign to the Company (or any proprietary rights related thereto), any executive officer of the Company shall be entitled to execute any such documents as my agent and attorney-in-fact, and I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint each executive officer of the Company as my agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such documents on my behalf, and to take any and all actions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Employee Invention or other Invention assigned by me to the Company, or which I am bound to assign to the Company (or any proprietary rights related thereto), under the conditions described in this sentence.  I hereby waive and irrevocably assign to the Company any and all claims which I now or hereafter have for infringement of any and all proprietary rights assigned to the Company under this Agreement.

I acknowledge and agree that all writings or works of authorship, including, without limitation, software program codes and/or documentation (“Works of Authorship”), produced or authored by me in the course of performing services for the Company, together with any copyrights on those Works of Authorship, are “works made for hire” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101) and the exclusive property of the Company.  To the extent that any of the above-referenced Works of Authorship may not, by operation of law, be works made for hire, this Agreement shall constitute an irrevocable assignment by me to the Company of ownership of, and all rights of copyright in, such items, and the Company shall have the right to obtain in its own name rights of copyright, copyright registrations and similar protections which may be available in the Works of Authorship.  I agree to give the Company at its expense all assistance reasonably required to perfect such rights, including the entitlement to execute necessary documents as my agent and attorney-in-fact, as described in Paragraph 3(d) above.

Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement.

(a)I hereby agree that I shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly engage in, have any interest in (including, without limitation, through the investment of capital or lending of money or property), or manage, operate or otherwise render any services to, any Person (whether on his or her own or in association with others, as a principal, director, officer, employee, agent, representative, partner, member, security holder, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, owner, investor, participant or in any other capacity) that engages in (either directly or through any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof) any business or activity (i) in which the Company or any of its Affiliates is engaged, or (ii) which the Company or any of its Affiliates has taken active steps to engage in or acquire, in each case, anywhere in the world (A) in which the Company or any of its Affiliates conducts any material business or activity, or (B) which the Company or any of its Affiliates has taken active steps to engage in or acquire material business or activity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, I shall be permitted to acquire a passive stock or equity interest in such a business; provided that such stock or other equity interest acquired is not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding interest in such business.

(b)I hereby agree that I shall not, at any time during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly, either for myself or on behalf of any other Person, (i) recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any customer or supplier of the Company to terminate its agreement or arrangement with the Company, or otherwise change its relationship with the Company, (ii) recruit or otherwise solicit or induce any employee of the Company to terminate his or her employment or arrangement with the Company, or otherwise change his or her relationship with the Company, or

(iii) hire, or cause to be hired, any person who was employed by the Company at any time during the twelve (12)-month period immediately prior to the termination of my employment or who thereafter becomes employed by the Company.

(c)During the Restricted Period and thereafter, I shall not, except as required in connection with any legal dispute between the parties hereto or as required by applicable law or legal process, willfully make (or direct anyone else to make) any Disparaging remarks, comments or statements about the Company (including, without limitation, its directors, officers, agents, representatives, partners, members, equity holders or Affiliates) to any other person or entity.  For purposes hereof, “Disparaging” written or oral remarks, comments or statements are those that impugn the character, honesty, integrity or morality or business acumen or abilities in connection with any aspect of the operation of business of the individual or entity being disparaged.

(d)In the event the terms of this Paragraph 5 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.  Except with respect to employees whose principal place of business as of the date of termination of employment is California, any breach or violation by me of the provisions of this Paragraph 5 shall toll the running of the Restricted Period for the duration of any such breach or violation.

(e)For purposes of this Paragraph 5, (i) “Restricted Period” shall mean (A) with respect to employees whose principal place of business as of the date of termination of employment is California, (x) for the purposes of Paragraph 5(b)(ii), the period of employment with the Company and the one year period immediately after termination of employment for any reason and (y) for all other purposes under this Agreement, the period of employment with the Company and (B) with respect to employees whose principal place of business as of the date of termination of employment is any jurisdiction other than California, the period of employment with the Company and the one year period immediately after termination of employment for any reason, and (ii) “Person” shall mean any individual, natural person, corporation (including any non-profit corporation), general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, joint venture, estate, trust, company (including any company limited by shares, limited liability company or joint stock company), incorporated or unincorporated association, governmental authority, firm, society or other enterprise, organization or other entity of any nature.

Company Documents.  I agree that, upon the earlier of (a) a request by the Company and (b) the termination of my employment with the Company, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my possession, reproduce or deliver to any third party) any and all Proprietary Information, Inventions, and other documents or property, or reproductions of any of the foregoing that belong to the Company (including, without limitation, any materials or media (or copies thereof) described in Paragraph 2(b)).  I further agree that any property situated on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice.  In the event of the termination of my employment with the Company for any reason, I agree to sign and deliver the “Termination Certification” attached here to as Exhibit B.

Notification to Other Parties.  In the event that I leave the employ of the Company, I hereby consent to notification by the Company to my new employer or any other party for whom I work about my rights and obligations under this Agreement.  

	
8.
	
Duty of Loyalty.  While employed by the Company, I agree to devote all of my business time, attention, skill and effort to the performance of my duties for the Company, and to promoting the interests and business of the Company, and I acknowledge that I owe a duty of loyalty to the Company and agree not to engage in, or contract with others to engage in, directly or indirectly, any business or other activity which is in competition with or may reasonably result in competition with the Company or which may result in other employees or other third parties terminating their relationships with the Company.

Claw-Backs.

(a)In the event I breach any of my obligations under Paragraphs 2, 5(a), 5(b) or 5(c), as determined in good faith by the Company, I shall, in addition to any other remedy which may be available (i) at law or in equity, (ii) pursuant to Paragraph 13, or (iii) pursuant to the RSU Agreement, be required to pay to the Company an amount equal to all Financial Gain that I have received during the 12-month period immediately preceding (or at any time after) the date that I first breach such obligation(s).  In addition, all restricted stock units granted pursuant to the RSU Agreement (the “RSUs”) that have not become vested prior to the date of such breach shall thereupon be forfeited.  

(b)For purposes of this Paragraph 9, “Financial Gain” with respect to any specified period of time shall mean the product of (i) the number of shares of common stock of the Company subject to the RSUs that first become vested during such period and (ii) the fair market value per share of common stock of the Company as of the date the RSUs first become vested, as determined by the Company in its good faith discretion.   

	
10.
	
Affiliates of the Company.  An Affiliate of the Company shall have the same rights as the Company under this Agreement and my obligations owed to the Company under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Paragraph 5 hereof) shall be owed to its Affiliates in the same manner as they are owed to the Company.  “Affiliates” of the Company shall mean (a) any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, the Company where “control” shall have the meaning given such term under Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time and (b) any other parent, affiliated or related entity and/or direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company.  This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, that my obligations under this Agreement are personal and shall not be assigned.

	
11.
	
At-Will Employment.  I acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is not a contract of employment for any stated term and does not affect the at-will nature of my employment with the Company.  Accordingly, my employment can be terminated, without cause or notice, at my option or the Company’s option.  The at-will nature of my employment also means that I can be transferred or demoted, and my job title, compensation, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment can be reduced, without cause.  However, my execution of this Agreement and adherence to its provisions are a condition of my employment and continued employment.  This Agreement supersedes and is hereby substituted for any and all existing agreements, either verbal or written, which I have entered into with the Company relating generally to the same subject matter.

12.
	
Governing Law, Forum and Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be governed, construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law, whether of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any other jurisdiction, and where applicable, the laws of the United States, that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.  With respect to disputes and claims hereunder, each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, any related agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, any related document or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby in any court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, and hereby and thereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

	
13.
	
Employee Acknowledgement and Equitable Remedies.  I acknowledge and agree that the restrictions and obligations contained in this Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business of the Company, and I consider these restrictions and obligations to be reasonable for such purpose.  I agree that any breach of this Agreement by me is likely to cause the Company and its goodwill substantial and irrevocable damage, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that a breach of this Agreement would entail inevitable wrongful use or disclosure of Proprietary Information.  Therefore, I agree that, upon receiving notice of any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company may seek relief in the form of specific performance, temporary or permanent injunctions or restraining orders, in each case which may mandate compliance with or prohibit violation of this Agreement, and I waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy.  Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for breach of this Agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity to the Company.

	
14.
	
Amendment; Waiver.  No modification or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing signed by the party to be charged.  The waiver by any party hereto expressed or implied, or any breach hereunder shall not be deemed a continuing waiver or consent to a subsequent breach.  The failure of any party hereto at any time to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no way effect the right to require performance at any time thereafter.  The waiver of any party to a breach of any provision hereof shall not be a waiver of the enforceability of such provision itself.

	
15.
	
Interpretation.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the law under which this Agreement is to be construed or, if any such provision is held invalid by a court with jurisdiction over the parties to this Agreement, unless otherwise provided in Paragraph 5(d), such provision shall be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the parties in accordance with applicable law, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to prohibit me from exercising my rights under the National Labor Relations Act, including, without limitation, discussing the terms and conditions of my employment.

	
16.
	
Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect or impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

B-7

 

	
17.
	
Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and me relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between us. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, obligations, rights or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment with the Company for any reason and the assignment of this Agreement by the Company to any successor in interest or other assignee. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.  I acknowledge that, in executing this Agreement, I have had the opportunity to seek the advice of independent legal counsel and I have read and understood all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall not be construed against any party by reason of the drafting or preparation hereof.
