(f)    After [***], OPKO shall promptly provide [***]. In addition, OPKO shall cause its Affiliates and licensees/sublicensees to comply with this Section 4.1.
(g)    For the avoidance of doubt, neither OPKO nor its Affiliates and licensees shall be allowed to license or launch a Product for an Additional Indication in the Territory pursuant to Section 4.1(d) or (e) if the labeling of such Product includes the Initial Indication or any other Additional Indication for which VF has rights in the Territory.
(h)    Subject to Section 4.1(g), if OPKO or its Affiliates are allowed to license or launch a Product for an Additional Indication in the Territory pursuant to Section 4.1(d) or (e), then the Parties shall agree in good faith on an effective mechanism to (i) prevent off-label sales in each other’s respective field in the Territory of such Product and (ii) provide adequate compensation to the other Party for off-label sales in its respective field in the Territory of such Product.  If such an agreement is not reached, the matter will be resolved as provided under Section 21.3. 
5.    Fees and Payments
5.1    Up-front Payment.
In consideration for the rights under the Patents, OPKO Trademarks, and OPKO Technology granted to VF in this Agreement, VF shall pay a non-refundable and non-creditable payment of $50,000,000 to OPKO within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date.
5.2    Milestone Payments.
As additional consideration for the rights under the Patents, OPKO Trademarks, and OPKO Technology granted to VF in this Agreement, VF shall pay non-refundable and non-creditable milestone payments to OPKO in the amounts and upon the occurrence of the events set forth below.  Each such payment shall be made within [***] Business Days of the achievement or occurrence of the milestone event.  Each milestone payment will be payable only one time.  For purposes of clarity, more than one of the Net Sales and regulatory approval milestones may be met during the same Agreement Year and, in that case, each such milestone would be payable.  For example, if during one Agreement Year there were Net Sales of the Product in the Territory of [***], and it was the first Agreement Year in which Net Sales of the Product in the Territory exceeded [***], then VF would owe both the [***] and [***] milestone payments and no similar milestone payments would be due in any following Agreement Year if the Net Sales in the Territory exceeded [***] or [***].

5.3    Royalty Payments.
During each Agreement Year, VF shall pay to OPKO royalty payments (the “Royalty Payments”) on a [***] basis in an amount equal to the aggregate annual Net Sales of the Product within the Territory multiplied by the Applicable Percentage, as may be adjusted as set forth in this Agreement.  The “Applicable Percentage” shall be as follows:

Aggregate Net Sales        Applicable Percentage
Up to but not including [***]        [***]

[***] to [***]        [***]
    
In excess of [***]        [***]

For the avoidance of doubt, if the aggregate Net Sales exceed [***] in any Agreement Year, the calculation of Royalty Payments shall be as follows: [***] for the first [***] Net Sales; [***] for the Net Sales between [***] and [***]; and [***] for the Net Sales in excess of [***].
5.4    Minimum Royalty.
Beginning on the first day of the first Calendar Quarter after the Product First Commercial Sale, for the periods set forth in the table below, VF shall be obligated to pay OPKO a minimum royalty (the “Minimum Royalty”) to the extent the aggregate Royalty Payments due for the applicable period are below the following amounts:
Period    Minimum Royalty
The first [***] consecutive Calendar Quarters beginning on the first 
day of the first Calendar Quarter after the Product First 
Commercial Sale    [***]

Each [***] consecutive Calendar Quarters thereafter    [***]

For purposes of clarity, if the total Royalty Payments due under Section 5.3 with respect to each Minimum Royalty period are greater than the applicable Minimum Royalty for the same period, no Minimum Royalty amount shall be payable by VF with respect to such period.  To the extent that the total Royalty Payments due under Section 5.3 with respect to a period are less than the Minimum Royalty for the same period, VF shall pay OPKO the difference between the total Royalty Payments and the Minimum Royalty.  The calculation for the first period to determine if anything is due under this Section 5.4 is made after [***] Calendar Quarters based on the total Royalty Payments due under Section 5.3 with respect to such [***] Calendar Quarters when compared to the Minimum Royalty of [***].  Thereafter, the calculation for subsequent periods is made for periods of [***] Calendar Quarters each, comparing Royalty Payments due under Section 5.3 with respect to the period to the Minimum Royalty of [***].  The Minimum Royalty obligation under this Section 5.4 shall terminate as of the end of the applicable [***] Calendar Quarter period ending immediately prior to the Calendar Quarter in which:  (a) a Competitive Product comes on the market in at least [***] Major Countries and there is a Royalty Payment Reduction in each such country or (b) the Royalty Term expires for a Product in at least [***] Major Countries.

14

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

5.5    Royalty Term.
The Royalty Payments due under Section 5.3, will be determined on a country by country basis beginning from the Product First Commercial Sale in a country only until the later of (a) expiration of the last to expire Valid Claim Covering the Product sold in such country, (b) expiration of all regulatory and data exclusivity applicable to the Product in the country of sale, and (c) ten (10) years after the Product First Commercial Sale in such country (with respect to each country in the Territory, the “Royalty Term”).  
5.6    Competitive Products.
If, in any country or region (e.g., EU) in the Territory, (a) one or more Competitive Products during [***] consecutive Calendar Quarters [***] Competitive Products and Products sold in such country or region or (b) after Regulatory Approval of a Competitive Product in the country or region, [***] for the relevant Product during [***] consecutive Calendar Quarters is more than [***] for the Product in the country or region during the [***] consecutive Calendar Quarters immediately before Regulatory Approval of the Competitive Product in the country or region, then the Royalty Payments with respect to the relevant Product in the country or region shall be reduced by [***] starting with the next Calendar Quarter (a “Royalty Payment Reduction”).
5.7    Third Party Payments.  
If VF, its Affiliates or permitted Sublicensees are required to pay Third Party Payments (directly to a Third Party) [***], that in the absence of a license thereunder would be infringed by the sale, promotion, manufacturing, use, or import of the Product in the Field in the Territory, VF shall then be entitled to credit [***] of such Third Party Payments against any Royalty Payments due hereunder with respect to the Net Sales of the Product to which the Third Party Payment pertains.
5.8    Late Payments.
Any amount required to be paid by a Party hereunder which is not paid on the date due shall bear interest at a rate equal to the [***] day U.S. dollar LIBOR rate effective for the date that payment was first due as reported by The Wall Street Journal plus [***].  Such interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number of days payment is delinquent.
5.9    Reports and Timing of Payments.  
Within [***] calendar days following the end of each Calendar Quarter during an Agreement Year, VF shall provide OPKO with a report of the Net Sales of the Product in each country in the Territory and all calculations used to determine such Net Sales amounts in such detail as OPKO shall reasonably require.  Each such quarterly report will include the actual Net Sales of the Product in each country in the Territory and all calculations used to determine such Net Sales for the first [***] months of the applicable Calendar Quarter and a non-binding estimate for the third month of the applicable Calendar Quarter.  Within [***] calendar days following the end of each Calendar Quarter, VF shall provide OPKO with a report of the actual Net Sales of the Product in each country in the 

15

[***] Indicates portions of this exhibit that have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

Territory and all calculations used to determine such Net Sales for all [***] months during the Calendar Quarter.  Not later than [***] calendar days following the end of each Calendar Quarter, VF shall pay to OPKO the Royalty Payment to which OPKO is entitled under Section 5.3.  In the event that a Party disputes an invoice or other payment obligation under this Agreement, such Party shall timely pay the undisputed amount of the invoice or other payment obligation, and the Parties shall resolve such dispute in accordance with Article 21.2.
5.10    Taxes.
(a)    All payments payable hereunder shall be paid without any reduction, offset, or withholding for taxes.  VF shall, in addition to amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, pay all other taxes levied on amounts payable hereunder; provided that OPKO shall be responsible for any income taxes payable by OPKO on payments made to it under this Agreement.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is their mutual objective and intent to minimize, to the extent feasible, taxes payable with respect to this Agreement and that they shall use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate and coordinate with each other to achieve such objective as allowed under Applicable Laws.  Each Party shall cooperate with the other to the extent reasonably requested for the purpose of filing any tax returns relating sales, use, transfer, stamp, VAT, withholding, or similar taxes, if any, levied on amounts payable hereunder.
(b)    For purposes of clarity, all sums payable under this Agreement shall be exclusive of VAT.  In the event that any VAT is owing in any jurisdiction in respect of any such payment, VF shall pay such VAT and the payment in respect of which such VAT is owing shall be made by VF without deduction for or on account of such VAT to ensure that OPKO receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had such VAT not been due.
5.11    Currency Exchange.
If any Product sold by VF under this Agreement is invoiced in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, all royalty payments by VF to OPKO shall be converted into U.S. Dollars at the average rate of exchange for the Calendar Quarter for which payments are being remitted based on the middle market spot rate therefore published in The Wall Street Journal (U.S. Edition).

VF shall be solely responsible for all other development costs which VF considers necessary in its sole discretion relating to the Product for the Initial Indication in the Territory except as otherwise provided by Section 6.4.
6.3    Publications.  
Subject to Applicable Law, the JSC shall develop a strategy for reviewing, coordinating and releasing publications, including results of studies conducted for the Product, presenting Product-related information and materials at conferences, congresses, or scientific or medical meetings held both inside and outside the Territory.

VF shall from time to time promptly inform OPKO about any significant Regulatory Approval milestones achieved.  In the event that any regulatory agency threatens or initiates any action to remove the Product from the market or there is any recall or equivalent action (whether voluntary or involuntary) in any country of the Territory, VF shall promptly notify OPKO of such communication of receipt of such information by VF. 
7.4    No Third Party Rights.
During the Term and except as provided in Sections 2.2 and 18.1, VF shall not assign, license or grant any rights in or to any rights or obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, terms relating to confidentiality, intellectual property, non-competition) or to the Drug Approval Applications that are held by VF pursuant to this Agreement to any Third Party that is not an Affiliate or Sublicensee of VF, or Fresenius or an Affiliate of Fresenius identified on Exhibit 2.2(b), without the prior written consent of OPKO, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)    VF shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to commercialize the Product in the Field in the Territory under an OPKO Trademark and under the trade dress or such other trademark or trade dress as mutually agreed by the Parties, including, if applicable, any alternative trademark and any alternative trade dress (the “Product Trade Dress”, respectively).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that VF believes that the use or registration of any OPKO Trademark or the use of the Product Trade Dress in a particular country in the Territory would be inappropriate due to such country’s linguistic or cultural particularities or against the Applicable Laws of such country, or is rejected by local Regulatory Authorities, or in conflict with any Third Party’s intellectual property rights in that country, based on a review of market research, regulatory research, legal searches, investigation results, and any other relevant information that may have been collected by either Party that is relevant to the clearance for use and registration of a trademark or for use and registration of a trade dress (it being understood that there is no obligation for either Party to perform any such review or research), VF shall present such concern to OPKO, and the Parties shall agree on an alternative trademark and trade dress for use and registration, as

Subject to Section 9.2(b)(vi), OPKO shall have the right, from time to time during the Term, to implement (and thereafter modify and update) a global branding strategy, including global messaging, for the Product for use in the Field throughout the world (the “Global Branding Strategy”). The Parties intend to collaborate in developing and updating the Global Branding Strategy. To the extent OPKO determines to utilize such Global Branding Strategy, VF shall adhere to the Global Branding Strategy in its commercialization of the Product, including with respect to any newly designed promotional materials; provided, that, in the event that VF believes that the application of the Global Branding Strategy in a particular country or a region in the Territory would be inappropriate whether because of such country’s linguistic or cultural particularities, competitive environment, clinical practices, because it is against the Applicable Laws of such country or because VF reasonably determines it would be inconsistent with VF’s obligation to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to commercialize the Territory, VF shall present such concern to OPKO, and the Parties shall discuss whether appropriate revisions to the Global Branding Strategy may make it appropriate for use in such country.  If the the Parties do not reach consensus on the application of the Global Branding Strategy, [***]; provided, however, that the matter may be referred by either Party for resolution as provided under Section 21.3 and both Parties shall abide by such resolution. 
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to derogate from VF’s ultimate right and responsibility to use all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to commercialize the Product in the Territory in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
8.3    Identification of OPKO.
To the extent allowed by Applicable Law and consistent with OPKO’s internal trademark guidelines adopted from time to time and provided to VF, all Product labeling, packaging and package inserts and any promotional materials associated with the Products shall carry, in a conspicuous location, the Product Trade Dress with a notice that such Product is sold under license from OPKO.  Such Product Trade Dress, where so included, shall be in addition to the Product Trade Dress and trademarks of VF.  
8.4    Product Pricing.  
As soon as appropriate prior to the Product First Commercial Sale in the Territory, as permitted by Applicable Law, including applicable antitrust laws, [***] shall establish pricing levels for the Product in the Territory with input from the JDC; provided that [***] shall bear final authority and responsibility for determining pricing for the Product.

(a)    If either Party is entitled to submit a disputed matter to arbitration pursuant to this Section 21.3, including, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, matters requiring JSC consensus, it may do so by providing written notice of the disputed matter to the other Party and its election to submit such matter to arbitration in accordance with this Section 21.3.  Within [***] days following  such notice, the Parties shall each submit their respective proposals with respect to such matter to each other.

The Expert Arbitrator shall have the right to meet thereafter with the Parties together, as necessary to make a determination.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the rendering of a determination by the Expert Arbitrator [***] of the Expert Arbitrator’s opinion with respect to such matter, or the basis of its determination, is released, if at all.  At any time prior to the determination, either Party may accept the other Party’s position on any unresolved issue.  The Parties shall inform the Expert Arbitrator of such accepted position and in such event such position will be deemed part of the final resolution of the matter in dispute and no longer subject to arbitration.  The Expert Arbitrator’s decision shall take into account customary and commercially reasonable industry practices for the conduct of development and other activities in compliance with Applicable Law.  [***].
(c)    The Expert Arbitrator shall be required, in granting any relief, to comply with any express provisions of this Agreement relating to damages or the limitation thereof.

PARENT GUARANTY

As an inducement to Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma Ltd (“VF”) to enter the foregoing Agreement (this “Agreement”) with EirGen Pharma Limited (“OPKO”), OPKO Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees payment (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code) and performance obligations of OPKO to VF under this Agreement and each of the documents contemplated hereunder, subject to any and all rights and defenses that OPKO has or may have under the terms of this Agreement or such document. Guarantor is a party to this Agreement solely for purposes of this guaranty.  Guarantor understands that this guaranty is continuing in nature and extends to future obligations of OPKO to VF related to this Agreement and each of the documents contemplated hereunder.

Guarantor waives all rights to require VF to proceed against OPKO or to exhaust any remedy prior to enforcing this guaranty.  Guarantor waives any defense based on the cessation or reduction for any cause whatsoever of the liability of VF.  Guarantor waives all demands, presentments and notices of every kind.  VF may at any time, and from time to time, alter, amend, modify, renew or extend the time for payment of any obligation or any other rights and obligations of OPKO and may cease dealing with OPKO without the participation of Guarantor as VF may elect, all without notice to Guarantor.  Guarantor agrees not to enforce any claim it may have against OPKO, including, but not limited to, any rights acquired by way of subrogation under this guaranty, until all obligations of OPKO to VF have been paid in full.

Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to VF as follows:
(a)Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and Guarantor has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this guaranty.
(b)The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this guaranty have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not contravene its certificate or organizational documents.
(c)The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this guaranty do not and will not contravene any law or governmental regulation or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting Guarantor or any of its affiliates.
(d)No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or other regulatory body or third party is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this guaranty.
(e)This guaranty is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights.
(f)There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor, threatened against or otherwise affecting Guarantor before any court, arbitrator or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality that may materially and adversely affect Guarantor’s financial condition or its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.
(g)The direct or indirect value of the consideration received and to be received by Guarantor in connection herewith is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and the incurrence of such liability and obligations in return for such consideration may reasonably be expected to benefit Guarantor, directly or indirectly.
(h)    All of the representations and warranties of OPKO set forth in Section 17 of this Agreement are true and correct.

[Execution Copy]

RELEASE OF CLAIMS

THIS RELEASE OF CLAIMS (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Vivint Solar, Inc. (the “Company”), and Gregory S. Butterfield (“Executive”). The Company and Executive are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually referred to as a “Party”.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Executive was employed by the Company until May 2, 2016, when Executive’s employment was terminated (“Termination Date”);

WHEREAS, Executive signed an At-Will Employment Agreement with the Company, effective as of August 28, 2014 (the “Proprietary Rights Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Executive has agreed to enter into and not revoke a standard release of claims in favor of the Company as a condition to receiving the severance benefits described in Schedule I hereof; and

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to resolve any and all disputes, claims, complaints, grievances, charges, actions, petitions and demands that Executive may have against the Company and any of the Releasees (as defined below), including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising out of or in any way related to Executive’s employment relationship with the Company and the termination of that relationship.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, including the mutual promises and covenants made herein, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:

COVENANTS

1.Termination. Executive’s employment with the Company terminated on the Termination Date.

2.Payment of Salary and Receipt of All Benefits. Executive acknowledges and represents that, other than the consideration to be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule I, the Company has paid or provided all salary, wages, bonuses, accrued vacation/paid time off, premiums, leaves, housing allowances, relocation costs, interest, severance, outplacement costs, fees, reimbursable expenses, commissions, draws, stock, stock options or other equity awards (including restricted stock unit awards), vesting, and any and all other benefits and compensation due to Executive and that no other reimbursements or compensation are owed to Executive. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, after giving effect to any additional vesting set forth in Schedule I, any unvested compensation or benefits which are unvested as of the Termination Date shall be forfeited without consideration as of the Termination Date.

 

 

3.Release of Claims. Executive agrees that the consideration to be paid in accordance with Section 2 represents settlement in full of all outstanding obligations owed to Executive by the Company and its current and former officers, directors, Executives, agents, investors, attorneys, stockholders, administrators, affiliates, benefit plans, plan administrators, insurers, trustees, divisions, and subsidiaries, and predecessor and successor corporations and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”). Executive, on Executive’s own behalf and on behalf of Executive’s respective heirs, family members, executors, agents, and assigns, hereby and forever releases the Releasees from, and agrees not to sue concerning, or in any manner to institute, prosecute, or pursue, any claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, demand, or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that Executive may possess against any of the Releasees arising from any omissions, acts, facts, or damages that have occurred up until and including the Effective Date of this Agreement, including, without limitation the following: 

(a)any and all claims relating to or arising from Executive’s employment relationship with the Company and the termination of that relationship;

(b)any and all claims relating to, or arising from, Executive’s right to purchase, or actual purchase of shares of stock of the Company, including, without limitation, any claims for fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty tinder applicable state corporate law, and securities fraud under any state or federal law;

(c)any and all claims for wrongful discharge of employment; termination in violation of public policy; discrimination; harassment; retaliation; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, both express and implied; promissory estoppel; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress; fraud; negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage; unfair business practices; defamation; libel; slander; negligence; personal injury; assault; battery; invasion of privacy; false imprisonment; conversion; and disability benefits;

(d)any and all claims for violation of any federal, state, or municipal statute, including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Equal Pay Act; the Fair Labor Standards Act; the Fair Credit Reporting Act; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act; the Family and Medical Leave Act; the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002; the Utah Antidiscrimination Act; the California Family Rights Act; the California Equal Pay Law; the California Unruh Civil Rights Act; the California Workers’ Compensation Act; the California Labor Code; and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act; the Utah Antidiscrimination Act;

(e)any and all claims for violation of the federal, or any state, constitution;

(f)any and all claims arising out of any other laws and regulations relating to employment or employment discrimination;

2

 

(g)any claim for any loss, cost, damage, or expense arising out of any dispute over the nonwithholding or other tax treatment of any of the proceeds received by Executive as a result of this Agreement; and 

(h)any and all claims for attorneys’ fees and costs.

Executive agrees that the release set forth in this Section 3 (the “Release”) shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. The Release does not extend to any severance obligations due Executive under this Agreement. The Release does not release claims that cannot be released as a matter of law, including, but not limited to, Executive’s right to file a charge with or participate in a charge by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or any other local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency that is authorized to enforce or administer laws related to employment, against the Company (with the understanding that any such filing or participation does not give Executive the right to recover any monetary damages against the Company; Executive’s release of claims herein bars Executive from recovering such monetary relief from the Company). Executive represents that Executive has made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, demand, cause of action, or other matter waived or released by this Section 3. Nothing in this Agreement waives Executive’s (i) rights under that certain indemnification Agreement between the Company and Executive (the “Indemnification Agreement”), or (ii) rights to indemnification or any payments under any fiduciary insurance policy, if any, provided by any act or agreement of the Company, state or federal law or policy of insurance.

4.Acknowledgment of Waiver of Claims under ADEA. Executive acknowledges that Executive is waiving and releasing any rights Executive may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”) and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary. Executive agrees that this waiver and release does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under the ADEA after the Effective Date of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that the consideration given for this waiver and release Agreement is in addition to anything of value to which Executive was already entitled. Executive further acknowledges that Executive has been advised by this writing that (a) Executive should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement; (b) Executive has at least 21 days within which to consider this Agreement; (c) Executive has 7 days following the execution of this Agreement by the parties to revoke the Agreement; (d) this Agreement shall not be effective until the revocation period has expired; and (e) nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Executive 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. In the event Executive signs this Agreement and delivers it to the Company in less than the 21-day period identified above, Executive hereby acknowledges that Executive has freely and voluntarily chosen to waive the time period allotted for considering this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and understands that revocation must be accomplished by a written notification to the Chief Legal Officer of the Company that is received prior to the Effective Date.

3

 

5.Unknown Claims. Executive acknowledges that Executive has been advised to consult with legal counsel and that Executive is familiar with the principle that a general release does not extend to claims that the releaser does not know or suspect to exist in Executive’s favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by Executive, must have materially affected Executive’s settlement with the releasee. Executive, being aware of this principle, agrees to expressly waive any rights Executive may have to that effect, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect. 

6.No Pending or Future Lawsuits. Executive represents that Executive has no lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in Executive’s name, or on behalf of any other person or entity, against the Company or any of the other Releasees. Executive also represents that Executive does not intend to bring any claims on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity against the Company or any of the other Releasees. Executive confirms that Executive has no knowledge of any wrongdoing involving improper or false claims against a federal or state governmental agency, or any other wrongdoing that involves Executive or any other present or former Company employees, including violations of the federal and state securities laws or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

7.Confidential Information. Executive reaffirms and agrees to observe and abide by the terms of the Proprietary Rights Agreement, specifically including the provisions therein regarding nondisclosure of the Company’s trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information, which agreement shall continue in force; provided, however, that: (a) as to any provisions regarding competition contained in the Proprietary Rights Agreement that conflict with the provisions regarding competition contained in Appendix A of that certain Involuntary Termination Protection Agreement between the Company and Executive, effective as of June 27, 2014 (the “Termination Agreement”), the provisions of Appendix A of the Termination Agreement shall control; (b) as to any provisions regarding solicitation of employees contained in Appendix A of the Proprietary Rights Agreement that conflict with the provisions regarding solicitation of employees contained in this Agreement, the provisions of Appendix A of the Termination Agreement shall control.

8.Return of Company Property: Passwords and Password-protected Documents. Executive confirms that Executive has returned to the Company in good working order all keys, files, records (and copies thereof), equipment (including, but not limited to, computer hardware, software and printers, wireless handheld devices, cellular phones and pagers), access or credit cards, Company identification, and any other Company-owned property in Executive’s possession or control. Executive further confirms that Executive has cancelled all accounts for Executive’s benefit, if any, in the Company’s name, including, but not limited to, credit cards, telephone charge cards, cellular phone and/or pager accounts and computer accounts. Executive also confirms that Executive has delivered all passwords in use by Executive at the time of Executive’s termination, a list of any documents that Executive created or of which Executive is otherwise aware that are password-protected, along with the password(s) necessary to access such password-protected documents.

4

 

9.No Cooperation. Executive agrees that Executive will not knowingly encourage, counsel, or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against any of the Releasees, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so or as related directly to the ADEA waiver in this Agreement. Executive agrees both to immediately notify the Company upon receipt of any such subpoena or court order, and to furnish, within three (3) business days of its receipt, a copy of such subpoena or other court order. If approached by anyone for counsel or assistance in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints against any of the Releasees, Executive shall state no more than that Executive cannot provide any such counsel or assistance. 

10.Breach. In addition to the rights provided in the Section II below, Executive acknowledges and agrees that any material breach of this Agreement (unless such breach constitutes a legal action by Executive challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of the waiver herein under the ADEA), or of any provision of the Proprietary Rights Agreement, shall entitle the Company immediately to recover and/or cease providing the consideration provided to Executive under this Agreement and to obtain damages, except as provided by law, provided, however, that the Company shall not recover One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the consideration already paid pursuant to this Agreement and such amount shall serve as full and complete consideration for the promises and obligations assumed by Executive under this Agreement and the Proprietary Rights Agreement.

11.Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that either Party brings an action to enforce or effect its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including the costs of mediation, arbitration, litigation, court fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such an action.

12.No Admission of Liability. Executive understands and acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of any and all actual or potential disputed claims by Executive. No action taken by the Company hereto, either previously or in connection with this Agreement, shall be deemed or construed to be (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any actual or potential claims or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by the Company of any fault or liability whatsoever to Executive or to any third party.

13.Noncompetition/Nonsolicitation/Nondisparagement. Executive agrees to adhere to the noncompetition, nonsolictiation, and the nondisparagement restrictions set forth in Appendix A of the Termination Agreement.

14.Costs. The Parties shall each bear their own costs, attorneys’ fees and other fees incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement.

5

 

15.Arbitration. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEIR INTERPRETATION, AND ANY OF THE MATTERS HEREIN RELEASED, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION IN UTAH COUNTY IN THE STATE OF UTAH, BEFORE JUDICIAL ARBITRATION & MEDIATION SERVICES (“JAMS”), PURSUANT TO ITS EMPLOYMENT ARBITRATION RULES & PROCEDURES (“JAMS RULES”). THE ARBITRATOR MAY GRANT INJUNCTIONS AND OTHER RELIEF IN SUCH DISPUTES. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL ADMINISTER AND CONDUCT ANY ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH UTAH LAW, INCLUDING THE UTAH RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL APPLY SUBSTANTIVE AND PROCEDURAL UTAH LAW TO ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICT-OF-LAW PROVISIONS OF ANY JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE JAMS RULES CONFLICT WITH UTAH LAW, UTAH LAW SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE FINAL, CONCLUSIVE, AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PREVAILING PARTY IN ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE ENTITLED TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO ENFORCE THE ARBITRATION AWARD. THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION SHALL EACH PAY AN EQUAL SHARE OF THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF SUCH ARBITRATION, AND EACH PARTY SHALL SEPARATELY PAY FOR ITS RESPECTIVE COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL AWARD ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS TO THE PREVAILING PARTY, EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM RESOLVED IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS SECTION 15 WILL NOT PREVENT EITHER PARTY FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF (OR ANY OTHER PROVISIONAL REMEDY) FROM ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES AND THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THEIR DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENTS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. SHOULD ANY PART OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH CONFLICT WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN.

Each Party warrants and represents that there are no liens or claims of lien or assignments in law or equity or otherwise of or against any of the claims or causes of action released herein.

17.No Representations. Executive represents that Executive has had the opportunity to consult with an attorney, and has carefully read and understands the scope and effect of the provisions of this Agreement. Executive has relied upon any representations or statements made by the Company that are not specifically set forth in this Agreement.

6

 

18.Severability. In the event that any provision or any portion of any provision hereof or any surviving agreement made a part hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision or portion of provision. 

19.Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Executive concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Executive’s employment with and separation from the Company and the events leading thereto and associated therewith, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Executive’s relationship with the Company, with the exception of the Proprietary Rights Agreement, the Termination Agreement, the indemnification Agreement, and Executive’s written equity compensation agreements with the Company.

20.No Oral Modification. This Agreement may only be amended in writing signed by Executive and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b)Each option to purchase shares of common stock of the Company issued under the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan which was vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date (after giving effect to the foregoing), shall remain outstanding and exercisable until the third anniversary of the Termination Date.

(c)Executive hereby agrees that Executive will not sell, transfer, or dispose of any share of Company common stock acquired pursuant to exercise of an option prior to the 91st day following the Termination Date.

4.If Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents, then the Company will reimburse Executive for the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination) until the earlier of (A) the end of the Severance Period or (B) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents are no longer eligible for COBRA continuation coverage. The reimbursements will be made by the Company to Executive consistent with the Company’s normal expense reimbursement policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it would result in a Company excise tax to reimburse Executive for the COBRA premiums than no such premiums will be reimbursed and if do so would not cause imposition of an excise tax, Executive will be paid a single lump sum of $36,000.
