Exhibit
10.1

 

SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

 

WHEREAS Cutter & Buck Inc. (“Cutter
& Buck”) has determined that William B. Swint (“Swint”) shall be relieved
of all his regular duties effective March 6, 2006, and that Cutter &
Buck will no longer employ Swint as of March 31, 2006;

 

AND WHEREAS Cutter & Buck and Swint
desire to settle and resolve all possible disputes between them arising out of
Swint’s employment and his separation from employment, and to memorialize their
agreement regarding certain post-termination obligations assumed by Swint.

 

THEREFORE, it is now agreed as follows:

 

1.                                      Confidentiality of
Agreement; Representation Regarding Conduct; Agreement Not Admission. The
parties agree to keep this Agreement confidential and not to disclose any information
contained in this Agreement, including the existence or substance of the
separation benefits provided to Swint, except to (i) Swint’s immediate
family, personal attorney and tax or financial advisor, (ii) within Cutter
& Buck’s management, (iii) as required by law, or (iv) as
Cutter & Buck deems appropriate to comply with its obligations with
federal or state securities laws, including, without limitation, any obligation
to file this document with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The parties
agree to inform each individual to whom disclosure is made under this paragraph
of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement. Swint represents that he
has not knowingly participated in any wrongdoing, misrepresentation, or breach
of any duty to Cutter & Buck or to any shareholder, investor,
customer, vendor, employee or governmental regulator. This Agreement is not an
admission by either party to this Agreement that he or it (or any of its
employees or agents) has violated any law or failed to fulfill any duty to the
other party.

 

2.                                      Resignation of Position;
Termination of Employment. Swint hereby acknowledges that he
ceased to be the Vice President, Chief Operations Officer on March 6, 2006, and
that he has executed the form of resignation as Vice President, Chief
Operations Officer attached hereto as Exhibit A. Swint acknowledges
that upon receipt of his regular salary and benefits through March 31, 2006,
and any accrued and unused vacation pay through March 31, 2006, he will
have received all wages, bonuses, incentives, benefits or other compensation
due to him from Cutter & Buck, and that the Separation Benefits set
forth below are in excess of anything owed to him by Cutter & Buck.
Swint further specifically acknowledges that Cutter & Buck has granted to
him all leave rights to which he believes himself entitled and that his leave
rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act and other applicable laws and
Cutter & Buck’s policies have been fully respected and honored by Cutter
& Buck.

 

3.                                      Status of COBRA Rights
and Options. Except as set forth in Paragraph 4(e) below with respect to
COBRA, Swint’s rights under COBRA, Cutter & Buck’s Stock Option Plans,
and the Employee Stock Purchase Program shall be the same as any other
terminating employee. Accordingly, assuming Swint remains employed through
March 31, 2006, that shall be the date for determining COBRA eligibility and
for considering the degree to which Swint’s options have vested, as shown on Exhibit B
attached to this Agreement. Swint hereby 

 

 

acknowledges that:  (i) he has no other options or rights to
purchase or acquire shares of Cutter & Buck stock except as set forth
in Exhibit B; and (ii) that said rights to purchase must be
exercised in accordance with the applicable plans and will expire ninety (90)
days after his termination date of March 31, 2006.

 

4.                                      Separation Benefits to
Swint. In consideration of Swint’s release set forth below, and
conditioned on his continuing compliance with the noncompetition and
nonsolicitation obligations assumed by him, as well as other performances by
Swint as set forth in this Agreement, and conditioned on Swint not revoking his
ADEA release, Cutter & Buck also agrees to provide Swint with the
following separation benefits, which Swint acknowledges are in excess of any
wages, benefits or other compensation due to him from Cutter & Buck as
follows:

 

(a)                                  For
the six (6) month period from April 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006,
Cutter & Buck shall pay Swint severance payments in an amount equal to
his monthly base salary as was in effect on March 31, 2006, less all lawful
deductions. These payments shall be subject to Swint’s compliance with this
Agreement and shall be made in accordance with Cutter & Buck’s
established payroll practices.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding
the termination of Swint’s employment as of March 31, 2006, Cutter & Buck
will reimburse Swint for his COBRA premium payments incurred through September
30, 2006, which are anticipated to be approximately $753.69 per month. Cutter
& Buck will provide Swint with reimbursement pursuant to this paragraph
within five (5) business days of Swint submitting documentation of such
payments to Cutter & Buck.

 

(c)                                  Within
five (5) business days of the effective date of this Agreement, Cutter &
Buck will pay Swint the sum of $5,000 for his use in obtaining outplacement and
career counseling services.

 

Cutter & Buck further agrees not to
oppose Swint’s application for unemployment insurance benefits.

 

5.                                      Releases.

 

(a)                                  Swint’s
Release. In exchange for the separation benefits provided for herein, and
except for the obligations assumed by Cutter & Buck herein, Swint
individually and on behalf of any marital community, releases and forever
discharges Cutter & Buck, its successors and assigns, along with all
of its directors, trustees, officers, shareholders, employees, corporate
affiliates, attorneys or agents from any and all claims, demands or causes of
action of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, arising from or in
any way connected with Swint’s status as an employee, officer or other
relationship with Cutter & Buck, whether based in tort, contract, or
any federal, state or local law, statute or regulation. Swint specifically
releases any and all rights he might have or assert to a claim for any bonus or
payment under any incentive compensation plan previously adopted by
Cutter & Buck or otherwise and specifically releases any and all
rights he might have or assert under that certain change in control agreement
dated on or about May 14, 2003 (attached hereto as Exhibit C),
which agreement is hereby terminated by agreement of the parties. The parties
represent and warrant that no promise or inducement has been offered except as
set forth in this agreement; that this agreement is executed without 

 

2

 

reliance upon any statement or representation
by either party to the other regarding the nature and extent of any liability
of one to the other. Except as expressly set forth herein, Swint specifically
understands that by executing this agreement, he is giving up any and all
rights and claims he may have against Cutter & Buck with respect to
events occurring on or before the execution of this agreement, including
unknown claims. Swint specifically understands that he is not entitled to any
other compensation, benefit or payment from Cutter & Buck other than
that expressly set forth in this agreement. Swint acknowledges that he has had an opportunity to consult with counsel
prior to signing this Agreement and that he signed this Agreement only after
full reflection and analysis. Specifically included in this release, but not by
way of limitation, is any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract,
defamation, mental distress, or employment discrimination, including but not
limited to claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”),
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991,
the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act or the
Washington Law Against Discrimination, based on age, gender, disability or any
other protected category, as well as any claims under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Swint warrants and agrees that he has
not and will not file any claim for damages, lawsuit or any other action
against Cutter & Buck, its Board of Directors, or any
Cutter & Buck officer or employee with respect to the foregoing, and
that he has not assigned any such claim or cause of action to any other person.

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Swint reserves and retains any and all rights of indemnification
with respect to his prior position as an officer or employee of Cutter &
Buck, including any such right under Cutter & Buck’s Articles of
Incorporation, Bylaws or any insurance policy with respect thereto.

 

(b)                                 Cutter
& Buck’s Release. In exchange for Swint’s release and other performance
obligations assumed herein, Cutter & Buck, including its successors and
assigns, releases and forever discharges Swint from any and all claims, demands
or causes of action of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, arising
from or in any way connected with Swint’s employment with Cutter & Buck,
whether based in tort, contract, or any federal, state or local law, statute or
regulation arising through the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Cutter & Buck’s release of claims shall not extend to the
obligations assumed by Swint in this Agreement or any claim for damage arising
from any falsity in Swint’s representation in Section 1 of this Agreement.

 

6.                                      ADEA Release. Swint acknowledges that
he is knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing any rights that he may
have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”). Swint also
acknowledges that the consideration given for this Agreement is in addition to
anything of value to which he was already entitled. Swint further acknowledges
that he has been advised by this writing, as required by the ADEA, that
(a) this Agreement does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise
after the execution date of this Agreement; (b) Swint should consult with
an attorney prior to executing this Agreement; (c) Swint has twenty-one
(21) days to consider this Agreement (although he may choose to
voluntarily execute this Agreement earlier and to waive such period of
consideration); (d) Swint has seven (7) days following the execution
of this Agreement to revoke the Agreement by written notice to Theresa Treat,
Vice President and Manager of Human Resources; and (e) this Agreement will
not be 

 

3

 

effective until the date upon which the
revocation period has expired, which will be the eighth day after this
Agreement is executed by Swint (“Effective Date”). Nothing in this Agreement
prevents or precludes Swint from challenging or seeking a determination in good
faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any
condition precedent, penalties or costs for doing so, unless specifically
authorized by federal law.

 

7.                                      Return of Company Property. Swint
represents that on or before March 31, 2006, he will have returned to
Cutter & Buck all property and equipment furnished to or prepared by
Swint or his subordinates in the course of or incident to his employment by
Cutter & Buck, including, without limitation, all books, manuals,
records, reports, notes, contracts, lists, and other documents or materials, or
copies thereof (including computer files), the master key, company credit card,
computer equipment, agreements, and all other proprietary information
belonging, or relating to the business of Cutter & Buck or any
affiliate. Swint’s obligation under this Agreement precludes him from keeping
any copies of Cutter & Buck’s property or documents without
Cutter & Buck’s express written permission for each such item of which
he wishes to retain a copy.

 

8.                                      Noncompetition/Nonsolicitation Obligations.
Swint agrees that, commencing on April 1, 2006, and continuing through
September 30, 2006, he will not in any capacity, directly or indirectly, engage
in, assist others to engage in or own a material interest in any business or
activity that is, or is preparing to be, in competition with
Cutter & Buck with respect to any product or service sold or
service provided by Cutter & Buck up to the time of Swint’s
termination of employment with Cutter & Buck in any geographical area
in which such product or service was sold or was actively engaged in on March
31, 2006, including, without limitation, any business or enterprise that
designs, sources, produces, markets or distributes men’s or women’s sportswear
which is sold through golf pro shops, resorts, corporate accounts, specialty
retail stores, international distributors or licensees. Swint further agrees
that, commencing on April 1, 2006, and continuing through September 30, 2006,
he will not, directly or indirectly, for himself or any other person or
entity:  (i) induce or attempt to
induce any employee, consultant, independent sales representative or
independent contractor of Cutter & Buck to leave the employ of or
terminate his, her or its contract with Cutter & Buck; (ii) in
any way interfere with the relationship between Cutter & Buck and any
employee, consultant, independent sales representative or independent contractor
of Cutter & Buck; (iii) reveal the name of (unless the name
is already a matter of public record), call on or otherwise solicit, accept
business or attempt to entice away from Cutter & Buck any actual or
identified potential customer of Cutter & Buck, nor will he assist
others in doing any prohibited act identified above.

 

9.                                      Other Performances Required of Swint. Swint
warrants and represents that he has not previously and will not in the future
disclose or use confidential information related to Cutter & Buck’s
customers, personnel, designs, pricing, marketing plans, budgets, strategies,
financial or other proprietary information that is not otherwise available to
the general public, including but not limited to information covered under the
Uniform Trade Secrets Act, RCW 19.108 et seq., and that he will at
all times continue to keep all such information confidential. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Swint specifically reaffirms his obligations
under Sections 2, 3 and 4 of that certain Confidentiality and Noncompetition
Agreement executed by him on May 14, 2003 (the “Prior Noncompetition Agreement”),
a copy of which is 

 

4

 

attached hereto as Exhibit D and
which provisions under Sections 2, 3 and 4 are incorporated herein by
this reference. Swint and Cutter & Buck further agree that they will not
disparage each other and that Swint will not disparage Cutter & Buck’s
officers, board members, directors, employees, customers or agents in any way
now or in the future. In an effort to ensure a smooth and efficient transition
of his duties, Swint agrees to make himself available on a reasonable basis to
meet and confer with management of Cutter & Buck during the period from
March 6, 2006 through March 31, 2006. Swint will cooperate with and
make himself available to Cutter & Buck and its counsel, with
regard to any dispute or litigation with any third party, provided that both
parties understand and agree to provide Swint with flexibility as to
scheduling, so as to protect against unreasonable interference with new
employment possibilities and/or responsibilities. Subject to a requirement for
Cutter & Buck’s prior authorization, Cutter & Buck shall reimburse
Swint for expenses reasonably and actually incurred in connection with his
cooperation under the preceding sentence.

 

10.                               Remedies. Swint acknowledges that the
obligations of noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality, and
nondisparagement are material parts of the consideration and inducement to
Cutter & Buck to provide the Separation Benefits set forth herein. Further,
the parties agree that the harm to Cutter & Buck from any breach of
Swint’s obligations under this Agreement may be wholly or partially
irreparable, and Swint agrees that such obligations may be enforced by
injunctive relief and other appropriate remedies, as well as by damages. If any
bond from Cutter & Buck is required in connection with such
enforcement, the parties agree that a reasonable value of such bond shall be
$5,000. Upon proof of a violation by Swint, any amounts received by Swint or by
any other through Swint in breach of this Agreement shall be deemed by the
court to be held in constructive trust for the benefit of Cutter &
Buck. Swint understands and acknowledges that the provisions of Paragraphs 8
and 9 are necessary and reasonable to protect Cutter & Buck in the
conduct of its business and that compliance with these paragraphs will not
prevent him from pursuing his livelihood. However, should any court find that
any provision of Paragraphs 8 or 9 is unreasonable, invalid or
unenforceable, whether in period of time or otherwise, then in that event the
parties hereby agree that Paragraphs 8 and 9 shall be interpreted and
enforced to the maximum extent which the court deems reasonable.

 

11.                               Assignment. Each party warrants that he
or it is the true party in interest and fully authorized to execute this
Agreement. Swint’s rights and duties hereunder are personal to him and are not
assignable to others, but Swint’s obligations hereunder will bind his heirs,
successors, and assigns. Cutter & Buck may assign its rights under
this Agreement, along with the assumption of its obligations hereunder, in
connection with any merger or consolidation of the Company or any sale of all
or any portion of the Company’s assets (including, without limitation, any
division or product line).

 

12.                               General. This Agreement contains the
entire understanding of the parties and constitutes the exclusive agreement
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements
or understandings of the parties, except to the extent that Swint remains bound
with respect to those paragraphs of the Prior Noncompetition Agreement
specifically incorporated herein. No waiver of or forbearance to enforce any
right or provision hereof shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the
party to be bound, and no such waiver or forbearance in any instance shall
apply to any other instance or to any other right or provision.

 

5

 

13.                               Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be
governed by the local laws of the State of Washington without regard to its
conflicts of laws rules to the contrary, except to the extent superseded by
federal law, including the ERISA. The parties hereby consent to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts residing in King County,
Washington for all matters and actions arising under this Agreement. The
prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs
incurred in connection with such litigation. No term hereof shall be construed
to limit or supersede any other right or remedy of the Company under applicable
law with respect to the protection of trade secrets or otherwise. If any
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable to any
extent in any context, it shall nevertheless be enforced to the fullest extent
allowed by law in that and other contexts, and the validity and force of the
remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

 

14.                               Knowing and Voluntary Waiver. Swint
acknowledges that he has been advised to consult with an attorney, and has had
the opportunity to do so, before signing this Agreement, which Swint has been
given a reasonable period of time to consider.

 

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS IS A VOLUNTARY
AGREEMENT THAT INCLUDES A RELEASE OF ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS.

EXHIBIT C

 

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

FOR

William Swint

 

This Agreement
is entered into this 14th day of May 2003 by and between
Cutter & Buck Inc. (the “Company”) and William Swint (“Executive”). Executive
is an at-will employee of the Company. The parties wish to provide Executive
with severance benefits if Executive’s employment is terminated in connection
with a change in control of the Company. The Company is willing to provide such
benefits if Executive enters into the Company’s form of Confidentiality and
Non-Competition Agreement for executive officers.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants and
conditions contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                       CHANGE
IN CONTROL.

 

(a)                                  If,
within the period commencing 90 days prior to the date of occurrence (the “Event
Date”) of a Control Event and ending on the date eighteen (18) months after the
Event Date (the “Window”), the Company terminates Executive’s employment (other
than for Cause) or Executive resigns for Good Reason, the Company shall pay to
Executive the Severance Payment in immediately available funds. If the
termination occurs prior to the Control Event, the Severance Payment is due on
the twentieth business day following the Event Date; if the termination occurs
on or subsequent to the Event Date, the Severance Payment is due on the
twentieth business day following the date of termination (the “Termination Date”).

 

(b)                                 The
Severance Payment shall be equal to 150% of Executive’s annual base salary as
of the Termination Date. If the Termination Date occurs during the Window but
prior to the Control Event, the Severance Payment shall be reduced by the sum
of any severance payments previously received by Executive from the Company
(but not below zero).

 

(c)                                  Each
of the following shall constitute a “Control Event”:

 

(1)                                  the
acquisition of Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) by any “Person”
(as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement dated as of November 20,
1998 between the Company and Mellon Investor Services LLC (the “Rights Plan”),
together with all Affiliates and Associates (as such terms are defined in the
Rights Plan) of such Person, such that such Person becomes, after the date of
this Agreement, the Beneficial Owner (as defined in the Rights Plan) of
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the shares of Common Stock then
outstanding, but shall not include any such acquisition by (i) the Company,
(ii) any subsidiary of the Company, (iii) any employee or director of the
Company as of the date hereof, or (iv) any employee benefit plan of the Company
or of any subsidiary of the Company or any Person or entity organized,
appointed or established by the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any
such employee benefit plan; or

 

9

 

(2)                                  the
consummation of any merger, consolidation, reorganization or other transaction
providing for the conversion or exchange of twenty-five percent (25%) or more
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into securities of any Person, or
cash, or property, or a combination of any of the foregoing; or

 

(3)                                  the
consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company; or

 

(4)                                  individuals
who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Incumbent
Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Company’s
Board of Directors; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director
subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for the election by
the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of
the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though
such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this
purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a
result of either an actual or threatened election contest or other actual or
threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person
other than the Board of Directors.

 

(d)                                 Each
of the following shall constitute “Good Reason”, provided that it occurs during
the Window:

 

(1)                                  the
material diminution of Executive’s position, duties, responsibilities or status
with the Company or its successor, as compared with the position, duties,
responsibilities or status of Executive with the Company immediately prior to
the Event Date, except in connection with the termination of Executive for
Cause;

 

(2)                                  the
Company’s assignment of Executive on a substantially full-time basis to work at
a location where the distance between the new location and Executive’s
principal residence is at least 20 miles greater than the distance between the
former location and such residence; provided, however, that this paragraph
shall not apply to travel in the furtherance of the Company’s business to an
extent substantially consistent with Executive’s business travel obligations as
of the date hereof;

 

(3)                                  the
Company’s failure to obtain an assumption of the obligations of the Company to
perform this Agreement by any successor to the Company;

 

(4)                                  any
reduction in Executive’s base salary, or a material reduction in benefits
payable to Executive or failure of the Company to pay Executive any earned
salary, bonus or benefits except with the prior written consent of Executive;

 

(5)                                  the
exclusion or limitation of Executive from participating in some form of
variable compensation plan which provides the Executive the opportunity to
achieve a level of total compensation (base salary plus variable compensation)
consistent with what the Executive had the opportunity to earn at the Event
Date; or

 

10

 

(6)                                  any
demand by any director or officer of the Company that Executive take any action
or refrain from taking any action where such action or inaction, as the case
may be, would violate any law, rule, regulation or other governmental
pronouncement, court order, decree or judgment, or breach any agreement or
fiduciary duty.

 

(e)                                  Each
of the following shall constitute “Cause”:

 

(1)                                  any
violation by Executive of any material obligation under this Agreement or the
attached Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement;

 

(2)                                  conviction
for commitment of a felony;

 

(3)                                  any
violation of law which has a material adverse effect on the Company;

 

(4)                                  habitual
abuse of alcohol or a controlled substance under circumstances that adversely
affect the Executive’s performance of his or her duties in any way;

 

(5)                                  theft
or embezzlement from the Company;

 

(6)                                  repeated
unexcused absence from work;

 

(7)                                  Disability
of Executive (as defined below); and

 

(8)                                  repeated
failure or refusal by Executive to carry out the reasonable directives, orders
or resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors or any officer to whom he or
she reports.

 

(f)                                    “Disability”
shall mean any physical, mental or other health condition which renders the
Executive unable to perform the essential functions of his or her position with
or without reasonable accommodation. Any disagreement as to whether Executive
is disabled shall be resolved by a physician selected by the Company after an
examination of Executive. Executive hereby consents to such physical
examination and to the examination of all medical records of Executive
necessary, in the judgment of the examining physician, to make the
determination of disability.

 

(g)                                 Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any
severance or other payment, benefit or right payable or accruing to Executive
hereunder or under any of the Company’s benefit plans (the “Benefit Plans”)
would constitute a “parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then the total
amount of severance and other payments or benefits payable to Executive
hereunder and under the Benefit Plans which is deemed to constitute a “parachute
payment” shall not exceed and shall, if necessary, be reduced to an amount (the
“Revised Severance Payment”) equal to 2.99 times Executive’s “base amount” as
defined in Code Section 280G(b)(3). In the event of a disagreement between
the Company and Executive 

 

11

 

as to whether the provisions of Code
Section 280G are applicable or the amount of the Revised Severance
Payment, such determination shall be made by the Company’s independent public
accountants or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to render such a
determination, then by a law firm mutually acceptable to Executive and the
Company. All costs relating to such determination shall be borne by the Company.
The Company and the Executive shall cooperate in good faith to make the
determination required by this Section 1(g) by mutual agreement not later
than the later of:  (i) the fifth
day preceding the date that the Severance Payment is or would be due or
(ii) the earlier of (x) the tenth day following the expiration of any
period of accelerated vesting of options to purchase the Company’s Common Stock
provided by Section 5(n) of the Benefit Plan or (y) the tenth day
following the date of exercise by Executive of his or her last remaining option
which was exercisable solely due to the application of Section 5(n) of the
Benefit Plan. Pending the final calculation of the Severance Payment or Revised
Severance Payment, the Company shall pay the amounts described under
subsection (b) above at the time and in the manner provided herein;
provided that, pending such determination, such payments shall be reduced by
such amounts as the Company estimates in good faith to be necessary to satisfy
its tax (including excise tax) withholding obligations and effect the reduction
in the amount of the Severance Payment, as contemplated by this
subsection 1(g). The aggregate amount of any compensation actually paid or
provided to Executive under the terms of this Agreement and in excess of the
Revised Severance Payment shall be deemed, to the extent of such excess, a loan
to Executive payable upon demand and bearing interest at the rate of 8% per
annum.

 

2.                                       CONFIDENTIALLY
AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT. In consideration of the obligations undertaken
by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, contemporaneously with the execution
of this Agreement, Executive and the Company shall enter into the form of
Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement attached hereto as EXHIBIT A
and each agreement shall be effective only if both agreements have been
executed.

 

3.                                       TERM
OF AGREEMENT. The Company’s obligations under Section 1 of this Agreement
shall expire with respect to Control Events occurring on or after the second
anniversary of the date of this Agreement (“Initial Expiration Date”), provided
however, that such obligations shall automatically extend for one (1) year on
each anniversary of the Initial Expiration Date unless terminated by the
Company effective as of the last day of the then current one (1) year extension
by written notice to that effect delivered to the Executive not fewer than
ninety (90) days prior to such anniversary of the Expiration Date.

 

4.                                       AT
WILL EMPLOYMENT. Unless and to the extent otherwise agreed by the Company and
Executive in a separate written employment agreement, Executive’s employment
shall be “at will”, with either party permitted to terminate the employment at
any time, with or without cause. No term of any employment agreement between
the Company and Executive shall be construed to conflict with, lessen or expand
the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

 

5.                                       NOTICES.
All notices and other communications called for or required by this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the parties at their respective

law with respect to the protection of trade secrets or otherwise. If any
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable to any

EXHIBIT D

 

CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

FOR

William Swint

 

This Agreement
is entered into this 14th day of May 2003 by and between Cutter
& Buck Inc. (the “Company”) and William Swint (“Executive”). Executive is
an at-will employee of the Company. In consideration of entering into an
agreement to provide Executive with severance benefits if Executive’s
employment is terminated in connection with a change in control in the Company,
Executive promises, on the terms set forth herein, at all times to protect the
Company’s proprietary information and to not compete with the Company following
termination of Executive’s employment in connection with a change in control.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants and
conditions contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Non-competition and Non-solicitation.

 

(a)                                  Executive
agrees that during the term of Executive’s employment with the Company and,
subject to receipt of the Severance Payment (as defined below) by the
Executive, until the first anniversary of the Termination Date (as defined
below), Executive will not in any capacity directly or indirectly engage in,
assist others to engage in or own a material interest in any business or
activity that is, or is preparing to be, in competition with the Company with
respect to any product or service sold or service provided by the Company up to
the time of termination of employment in any geographical area in which at the
time of termination of employment such product or service is sold or is
actively engaged in. For the purposes of this Agreement, the terms “Severance
Payment” and “Termination Date” shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Change in Control Agreement (as defined in Section 6 below).

 

(b)                                 Executive
further agrees that during the period stated above, he/she will not directly or
indirectly call on, reveal the name of, or otherwise solicit, accept business
from or attempt to entice away from the Company any actual or identified
potential customer of the Company, nor will he/she assist others in doing so. Executive
further agrees that he/she will not, during the period stated above, encourage
or solicit any other employee or consultant of the Company to leave such
employment for any reason, nor will he/she assist others to do so.

 

(c)                                  Executive
acknowledges that the covenants in this Section 1 are necessary and
reasonable to protect the Company in the conduct of its business and that
compliance with such covenants will not prevent him/her from pursuing his/her
livelihood. However, should any court find that any provision of such covenants
is unreasonable, invalid or unenforceable, whether in period of time,
geographical area, or otherwise, then in that event the parties hereby agree
that such covenants shall be interpreted and enforced to the maximum extent
which the court deems reasonable.

 

15

 

2.                                       Trade
Secrets and Confidential Information.

 

(a)                                  Executive
acknowledges that the Company’s business and future success depend upon the
preservation of the trade secrets and other confidential information of the
Company and its suppliers and customers (the “Secrets”). The Secrets may
include, without limitation, existing and to-be-developed or acquired product designs,
new product plans or ideas, market surveys, the identities of past, present or
potential customers, business and financial information, pricing methods or
data, terms of contracts with present or past customers, proposals or bids,
marketing plans, personnel information, procedural and technical manuals and
practices, servicing routines, and parts and supplier lists proprietary to the
Company or its customers or suppliers, and any other sorts of items or
information of the Company or its customers or suppliers which are not
generally known to the public at large. Executive agrees to protect and to
preserve as confidential during and after the term of his employment all of the
Secrets at any time known to Executive or in his/her possession or control (whether
wholly or partially developed by Executive or provided to Executive, and
whether embodied in a tangible medium or merely remembered).

 

(b)                                 Executive
shall mark all items containing any of the Secrets with prominent
confidentiality notices acceptable to the Company. Executive shall neither use
nor allow any other person to use any of the Secrets in any way, except for the
benefit of the Company and as directed by Executive’s supervisor. All material
containing or disclosing any portion of the Secrets shall be and remain the
property of the Company, shall not be removed from the Company’s premises
without specific consent from an officer of the Company, and shall be returned
to the Company upon the termination of Executive’s employment or the earlier request
of Executive’s supervisor. At such time, Executive shall also assemble all
materials in his possession or control which contain any of the Secrets, and
promptly deliver such items to the Company.

 

3.                                       Intellectual
Properties.

 

(a)                                  All
ownership, copyright, patent, trade secrecy and other rights in all works,
designs, inventions, ideas, manuals, improvements, discoveries, processes,
customer lists or other properties (the “Intellectual Properties”) made or
conceived by Executive during the term of his/her employment by the Company
shall be the rights and property solely of the Company, whether developed
independently by Executive or jointly with others, and whether or not developed
or conceived during regular working hours or at the Company’s facilities, and
whether or not the Company uses, registers, or markets the same.

 

(b)                                 In
accordance with the Company’s policy and RCW 49.44.140 and RCW 49.44.150, this
Agreement (other than Subsection 3(c)) does not apply to, and Executive
has no obligation to assign to the Company, any invention for which no Company
trade secrets and no equipment, supplies, services, or facilities of the
Company were used and which was developed entirely on Executive’s own time,
unless: (i) the invention relates directly to the business of the Company, (ii)
the invention relates to actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
development work of the Company, or (iii) the invention results from any work
performed by Executive for the Company.

 

16

 

(c)                                  If
and to the extent that Executive makes use, in the course of his employment, of
any items or Intellectual Properties previously developed by Executive or
developed by Executive outside of the scope of this Agreement, Executive hereby
grants the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable,
worldwide license (with right to sublicense) to make, use, sell, copy,
distribute, modify, and otherwise to practice and exploit any and all such
items and Intellectual Properties.

 

(d)                                 Executive
will assist the Company as reasonably requested during and after the term of
his employment to further evidence and perfect, and to enforce, the Company’s
rights in and ownership of the Intellectual Properties covered hereby,
including without limitation, the execution of additional instruments of
conveyance and assisting the Company with applications for patents or copyright
or other registrations.

 

4.                                       Authority
and Non-Infringement. Executive warrants that any and all items,
technology, and Intellectual Properties of any nature developed or provided by
Executive under this Agreement and in any way for or related to the Company
will be original to Executive and will not, as provided to the Company or when
used and exploited by the Company and its contractors and customers and its and
their successors and assigns, infringe in any respect on the rights or property
of Executive or any third party. Executive will not, without the prior written
approval of the Company, use any equipment, supplies, facilities, or
proprietary information of any other party. Executive warrants that Executive
is fully authorized to enter into employment with the Company and to perform
under this Agreement, without conflicting with any of Executive’s other
commitments, agreements, understandings or duties, whether to prior employers
or otherwise. Executive will indemnify the Company for all losses, claims, and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from any breach of by
him/her of this Agreement.

 

5.                                       Remedies.
The harm to the Company from any breach of Executive’s obligations under this
Agreement may be wholly or partially irreparable, and Executive agrees that
such obligations may be enforced by injunctive relief and other appropriate
remedies, as well as by damages. If any bond from the Company is required in
connection with such enforcement, the parties agree that a reasonable value of
such bond shall be $5,000. Any amounts received by Executive or by any other
through Executive in breach of this Agreement shall be held in constructive
trust for the benefit of the Company.

 

6.                                       Executive
Agreement. In consideration of the obligations undertaken by Executive
pursuant to this Agreement, contemporaneously with the execution of this
Agreement, Executive and the Company are entering into a Change in Control
Agreement (the “Change in Control Agreement”), and each agreement shall be
effective only if both agreements have been executed.

 

7.                                       At
Will Employment. Unless and to the extent otherwise agreed by the Company
and Executive in a separate written employment agreement, Executive’s
employment shall be “at will”, with either party permitted to terminate the
employment at any time, with or without 

 

17

 

cause. No term of any employment agreement
between the Company and Executive shall be construed to conflict with or lessen
Executive’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

8.                                       Notices.
All notices and other communications called for or required by this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the parties at their respective

to each Investor that, except as set forth in the SEC Reports (as hereinafter
defined) or in the Schedule of Exceptions attached as Exhibit I to this
Agreement, which exceptions shall be deemed to be part of the representations
and warranties made hereunder, the following representations are true and
complete as of the date hereof. The Schedule of Exceptions shall be arranged in

from a reading of the disclosure that such
disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections:

 

(a)           Organization and
Qualification. Each of the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries is an
entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the
requisite legal authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry
on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any Significant
Subsidiary is in violation of any of the provisions of its respective
certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or
charter documents. Each of the Company and the Significant Subsidiaries is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or
other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted
or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the
failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not
reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate, (i) materially
and adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any
Transaction Document, (ii) have or result in a material adverse effect on
the results of operations, assets, business or financial condition of the
Company and the Significant Subsidiaries, taken as a whole on a consolidated
basis or (iii) materially and adversely impair the Company’s ability to
perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under any of the Transaction
Documents (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material
Adverse Effect”).

 

(b)           Subsidiaries.
The Company has no direct or indirect Subsidiaries. The Company owns, directly
or indirectly, all of the capital stock or comparable equity interests of each
Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien and all the issued and outstanding shares
of capital stock or comparable equity interest of each Subsidiary are validly
issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar
rights. None of the Insignificant Subsidiaries (i) carries on any substantive
business operations or activities or (ii) has assets or liabilities in excess
of $50,000.

 

(c)           Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate authority to enter
into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party by the Company and the consummation by it of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by
all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further consent or
action is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders. Each
of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery
will be) duly executed by the Company and is, or when delivered in accordance
with the terms hereof, will constitute, the valid and binding obligation of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as
may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors rights generally, and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing
the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies.

 

(d)           No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which
it is a party by the Company and any Significant Subsidiary and the
consummation by the Company and any Significant Subsidiary of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby do not, and will not, (i) conflict with or
violate any provision of the Company’s 

 

5

 

or any Significant Subsidiary’s certificate
or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter
documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that
with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to
others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with
or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility,
debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Significant Subsidiary debt
or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary is bound, or affected, except to the extent that such
conflict, default, termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation right
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or
(iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment,
injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority
to which the Company or a Significant Subsidiary is subject (including federal
and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of any
self-regulatory organization to which the Company or its securities are subject),
or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Significant Subsidiary is
bound or affected, except to the extent that such violation would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(e)           Authorization of
Securities. The Securities are duly authorized and, when issued and paid
for in accordance with the Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens and shall not
be subject to preemptive or similar rights of stockholders. Upon issuance or
conversion in accordance with the Convertible Notes or exercise in accordance
with the Warrants, as the case may be, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares, respectively, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights
accorded to a holder of Common Shares. As of the Closing, the Company shall
have reserved from its duly authorized capital stock equal to the sum of
(A) the Common Shares (B) the number of Common Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Notes (without taking into account any
limitations on the conversion, or redemption of the Convertible Notes set forth
in the Convertible Notes) at the Closing (y) the number of Common Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without taking into account any
limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants).

 

(f)            Capitalization.
The aggregate number of shares and type of all authorized, issued and
outstanding classes of capital stock, options and other securities of the
Company (whether or not presently convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company) is set forth in Schedule 3.1(f)
hereto. All outstanding shares of capital stock are duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance with
Section 5 of the Securities Act. The Company has not issued any other
options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any
character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or entered into any
agreement giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares
of Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into
shares of Common Stock. Except for customary adjustments as a result of stock
dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares, reorganizations,
recapitalizations, reclassifications or other similar events, there are no
anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained in any security issued
by the Company (or in any agreement providing rights to security holders) and
the issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue
shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the
Investors) and will not result in a 

 

6

 

right of any holder of securities to adjust
the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. To the
knowledge of the Company, no Person or group of related Persons beneficially
owns (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), or has the
right to acquire, by agreement with or by obligation binding upon the Company,
beneficial ownership of in excess of 5% of the outstanding Common Stock,
ignoring for such purposes any limitation on the number of shares of Common
Stock that may be owned at any single time.

 

(g)           Consents. None
of the Company nor any of its Significant Subsidiaries is required to obtain
any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration
with, any court, governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory
agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any
of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each
case in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. All consents,
authorizations, orders, filings and registrations (which the Company is
required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence) have been obtained or
effected, or will have been obtained or effected, on or prior to the Closing
Date, except to the extent that failure to obtain such consent would not be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company and its
Significant Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances that might
prevent the Company from obtaining or effecting any of the registration,
application or filings pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Company is not
in violation of the listing requirements of the Trading Market.

 

(h)           SEC Reports;
Financial Statements. The Company has filed all reports required to be
filed by it under the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) thereof, for the twelve months preceding the date hereof (the foregoing
materials (together with any materials filed by the Company under the Exchange

Documents) that requires the filing of a Form 8-K after the Closing. As of
their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with
the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC
Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company
included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with
respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved
(“GAAP”), except as may be
otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto, and
fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company
and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the
results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended except as may
be indicated in the notes thereto and except, in the case of interim

subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit
adjustments.

Restrictions.

 

(a)           The Investors
covenant that the Securities will only be disposed of pursuant to an effective
registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the
Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state
securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than
pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company, the Company
may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel
selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does
not require registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books
of the Company and with its transfer agent, without any such legal opinion,
except to the extent that the transfer agent 

 

13

 

requests such legal opinion, any transfer of
Securities by an Investor to an Affiliate of such Investor, provided that the
transferee makes customary representations to Company and certifies to the
Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act and provided that such Affiliate does not request any removal of
any existing legends on any certificate evidencing the Securities.

 

(b)           Such Investor
understands that the instruments representing the Senior Secured Notes,
Convertible Notes and the Warrants and
the stock certificates representing the Common Shares, Conversion Shares and
the Warrant Shares, until such time as the resale of the Common Shares,
Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares have been registered and sold under
the Securities Act, shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of
any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a
stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

 

NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE [CONVERTIBLE]
[EXERCISABLE] [HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE
NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE,
SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR (B) IF REASONABLY REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY,
AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS
NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue
a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it
is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) such
Securities have been registered and sold pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other
transfer, the Company reasonably requests that such holder provide the Company
with opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that the sale,
assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under
the applicable requirements of the Securities Act.

 

4.2           Furnishing of
Information. So long as any Investor owns Securities, the Company covenants
to use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in
respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports
required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the
Exchange Act. Upon the reasonable request of any Investor, the Company shall
deliver to such Investor a written certification of a duly authorized officer
as to whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. The Company further
covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may
reasonably request to satisfy the provisions of this Section 4.2.

 

4.3           Integration. The
Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
that no Affiliate thereof shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy
or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2
of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with 

 

14

 

the offer or sale of the Securities in a
manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale
of the Securities to the Investors or that would be integrated with the offer
or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any
Trading Market.

 

4.4           Reservation of
Securities. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized
shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in
such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the
Transaction Documents. In the event that at any time the then authorized shares
of Common Stock are insufficient for the Company to satisfy its obligations in
full under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall promptly take such
actions as may be required to increase the number of authorized shares.

 

4.5           Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company

practicable prior to its filing), the Company shall, at least two Trading Days
prior to the filing or dissemination of any disclosure required by this
paragraph, provide a copy thereof to the Investors for their review. The
Company and the Investors shall consult with each other in issuing any press
releases or otherwise making public statements or filings and other
communications with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Trading Market with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither party shall issue
any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement, filing or
other communication without the prior consent of the other, except if such
disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall
promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement,
filing or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not publicly disclose the name of any Investor, or include the name of any
Investor in any press release without the prior written consent of such Investor.
Except as required under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall not, and
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective
officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Investor with any
material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
from and after the issuance of the above referenced press release without the
express written consent of such Investor.

pursuant to the Company’s customary investment policies.
