COMMUNITY BANK OF WEST GEORGIA  

 
  BANK SITE LEASE AGREEMENT    
  

        THIS LEASE AGREEMENT ("Lease"), is made and entered into by and between COMMUNITY LAND DEVELOPMENT, LLC, a Georgia limited liability corporation (hereinafter
referred to as "Landlord"), and COMMUNITY BANK OF WEST GEORGIA, a Georgia banking corporation in organization (hereinafter referred to as "Tenant"). 

W I T N E S S E T H:  

        1.    Premises and Term.    In consideration of the obligation of Tenant to pay rent as herein provided, and in
consideration of the other terms, provisions and covenants hereof, Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby takes from Landlord certain premises situated in Carroll County,
Georgia, more particularly described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, together with all rights, privileges,
easements, appurtenances, and immunities belonging to or in any way pertaining to the premises and together with the buildings and other improvements currently situated upon said premises (said real
property, rights, privileges, easements, appurtenances, immunities, buildings and improvements being hereinafter referred to as the "Premises"), TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Premises for a term commencing
on the Commencement Date (as that term is hereinafter defined) and ending 14 full calendar months thereafter (the "Initial Term"). As used herein, the term "Commencement Date" shall mean
September 1, 2002. In addition to the Initial Term, Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of this Lease for twelve consecutive periods of one month each commencing on the end of the
Initial Term upon 30 days prior written notice to Landlord (each, a
"Renewal Term"). During any Renewal Term, Tenant's occupation of the Premises shall be on the same terms and conditions as during the Initial Term. 

        2.    Base Rent.    Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord rent for the Premises monthly, in advance, in the amount of
$5,000 per month. The rental payment for any fractional calendar month at the beginning or end of the lease period shall be prorated. 

        3.    Use.    The Premises shall be used for the purpose of a retail banking business, and for such other lawful
purposes as may be incidental thereto. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain any and all licenses and permits necessary for any such use. 

        4.    Landlord's Repairs.    Landlord shall have no maintenance obligations whatsoever with respect to the Premises,
it being expressly acknowledged and agreed between Landlord and Tenant that the Premises shall be delivered by Landlord and accepted by Tenant in an "as-is" condition. 

        5.    Tenant's Repairs.    Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep and maintain the Premises in good
repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. 

        6.    Alterations.    Tenant may, without the consent of Landlord, but at Tenant's sole cost and expense and in a good
workmanlike manner, make any alterations, additions or improvements to any and all buildings or improvements located on the Premises, erect such shelves, bins, machinery and trade fixtures as Tenant
may deem advisable, without materially and adversely affecting the structural integrity of any buildings located on the Premises, locate one or more temporary facilities on the Premises in a manner
and location agreed to by Landlord and Tenant (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld) and in each case complying with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances and regulations. All
alterations, additions, improvements and partitions erected by Tenant shall be and remain the property of Tenant during the term of this Lease and Tenant shall, at Tenant's option, remove all
alterations, additions, improvements and partitions erected by Tenant and restore the Premises to their original condition by the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. All such removals and
restoration shall be accomplished in a good workmanlike manner so as not to damage any significant structure or structural qualities of the Premises. Any such alterations, additions, 

 

improvements or partitions not removed from the Premises by Tenant on or before the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease shall be and remain the property of Landlord. 

        7.    Signs.    Tenant shall have the right to install signs upon the Premises in such locations and being of such
dimensions, graphics and materials as Tenant shall elect, subject to any applicable governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and other requirements. Tenant shall have the right to remove all such
signs on or before the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. 

        8.    Inspection.    Landlord and Landlord's agents and representatives shall have the right to enter and inspect the
Premises at any reasonable time during Tenant's regular business hours for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of the Premises or in order to make such repairs as may be required to be made by
Landlord under the terms of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall (i) not enter the Premises for such purpose during Tenant's peak business times as Tenant may designate
from time to time, and (ii) perform any such repairs (including clean-up and storage of materials and tools used in connection therewith) in a manner which will not interfere with
the maximum effective operation of Tenant's business from the Premises. 

        9.    Utilities.    Landlord agrees to provide, at Landlord's cost, water, sewer, gas, electricity and telephone
service connections into the Premises, but Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler charges and other utilities and services used by Tenant on or from the
Premises. 

        10.    Taxes.    Landlord shall pay promptly and before they become delinquent, the real property taxes, all other
taxes, assessments and other impositions, general and special, that become due at any time during the term of this Lease, or any extension thereof, upon or against the Premises. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for such expenses within 5 days of Landlord's written notice of payment to Tenant. Nothing herein shall require or be construed to require Tenant to pay any other rent, inheritance,
estate, gift, franchise or income tax that is or may be imposed upon Landlord, its successors or assigns. 

        11.    Assignment and Subletting.    Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises as and
when Tenant deems appropriate; provided, however, that no such assignment or subletting shall relieve the assignor or sublessor, as the case may be, from the obligations of Tenant hereunder. 

        12.    Fire and Casualty Damage.    

        A.    Landlord
agrees to maintain standard fire and extended coverage insurance covering the Premises in an amount not less than the total replacement cost thereof; said policy
shall (i) insure against the perils of fire, lightning and all other catastrophic occurrences, and (ii) show Tenant as an additional insured thereunder. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for such insurance within 5 days of Landlord's written notice of payment to Tenant. 

        B.    If
any improvements comprising part of the Premises should be totally destroyed by fire, tornado or similar occurrence, or if the Premises should be so damaged thereby
that rebuilding or repairs cannot, in Tenant's reasonable estimation, be completed within 90 days after the date of such damage, this Lease shall terminate and the rent shall be abated during
the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective upon the date of the occurrence of such damage. 

        C.
If any improvements comprising part of the Premises should be damaged by fire, tornado or similar occurrence, and if rebuilding or repairs can, in Tenant's reasonable estimation, be
completed within 90 days after the date of such damage, this Lease shall not terminate, and Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, thereupon proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild
and repair the improvements comprising part of the Premises to substantially the condition in which they existed prior to such damage, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or
replace any part of the partitions, fixtures, additions and other improvements which may 

2

 

have been placed in, on or about the Premises by Tenant (unless such partitions, fixtures, additions or other improvements were originally constructed at Landlord's cost). If, in Tenant's reasonable
judgment, the Premises are untenantable in whole following such damage, or if the Premises are partially damaged but, in Tenant's reasonable judgment, cannot be used for the maximum effective
operation of Tenant's business, rent and all other charges payable hereunder shall abate entirely during the period in which the Premises are untenantable or unusable by Tenant as aforesaid. If the
Premises are partially damaged and if Tenant continues to open its business therein to the public, rent and all other charges hereunder shall be adjusted to an amount that Landlord and Tenant agree to
be fair and reasonable under the circumstances until such time as restoration of the Premises has been completed. In the event that Landlord should fail to diligently pursue such repairs and
rebuilding within 120 days after the date of such damage, Tenant may, at its option, (i) complete said repairs and rebuilding and deduct the cost thereof from rent and other charges
thereafter coming due hereunder, or (ii) terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Landlord, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate. 

        D.    Anything
in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and release each other of and from any and all rights of recovery, claim, action
or cause of action, against each other, their agents, officers and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises, improvements to the Premises or personal property (building
contents) within the Premises, by reason of fire or the elements regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of Landlord or Tenant and their agents, officers and employees, but only to the
extent of the insurance proceeds payable under the policies of insurance covering the property. Because this subparagraph will preclude the assignment of any claim mentioned in it by way of
subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each party to this Lease agrees to give to each insurance company which has issued to its policies of fire and extended
coverage insurance, written notice of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this subparagraph, and to have the insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of
the insurance coverages by reason of the mutual waivers contained in this subparagraph. 

        13.    Liability.    

        A.    Tenant
shall procure and maintain throughout the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance, at its sole cost and expense, insuring against all claims, demands
or actions arising out of or in connection with Tenant's operations in and maintenance and use of the Premises, the limits of such policy or policies to be in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 per
occurrence for injury to persons (including death), and in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for property damage or destruction, including loss of use thereof. 

        B.    Landlord
shall procure and maintain throughout the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance insuring against all claims, demands or actions arising out of or
in connection with any intentional or negligent act or omission committed by Landlord or any of Landlord's agents, servants, employees or contractors, in the performance of Landlord's obligations
hereunder, the limits of such policy or policies to be in the amount of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for injury to persons (including death), and in an amount of not less than $1,000,000
per occurrence for property damage or destruction, including the loss of use thereof. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such insurance within 5 days of Landlord's written notice of payment to
Tenant. 

        14.    Condemnation.    

        A.    If
the whole or any substantial part of the Premises should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of
eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof and the taking would, in Tenant's reasonable judgment, prevent or materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises for the maximum
effective 

3

 

operation of Tenant's business, this Lease shall terminate and the rent and all other charges hereunder shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective on the date title to the
Premises vests in the taking authority. 

        B.    If
part of the Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by
private purchase in lieu thereof, and this Lease is not terminated as provided in the subparagraph above, the rent and all other charges payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of this Lease
shall be reduced to such extent as Landlord and Tenant agree to be fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances. 

        C.    In
the event of any such taking or private purchase in lieu thereof, Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to receive and retain such separate awards as may be
allocated to their respective interests in any condemnation proceedings. 

        15.    Quiet Enjoyment.    Landlord covenants that it now has possession of the Premises, good title to the Premises,
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, excepting only the lien for current taxes not yet
due, and such other matters as Tenant has consented to in writing. Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to enter into this Lease and that Tenant, upon paying the
rental herein set forth and performing its other covenants and agreements herein set forth, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the term hereof without hindrance or
molestation from Landlord or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord. 

        16.    Events of Default.    The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this Lease: 

        A.    Tenant
shall fail to pay any installment of the rent herein reserved when due and such failure shall continue for a period of 10 business days from the date Tenant
receives written notice from Landlord that said payment has not been received by Landlord. 

        B.    Tenant
shall fail to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease (other than the foregoing in this Paragraph 16), and shall not cure such failure
within 30 days after Tenant's receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord, unless any such failure to comply cannot be reasonably cured within 30 days, in which event Tenant's cure
period shall be extended for such period of time as is necessary, so long as Tenant diligently pursues curative measures. 

        17.    Remedies.    

        A.    Upon
the occurrence of any of such events of default described in Paragraph 16 hereof, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following
remedies: 

        (1)  Terminate
this Lease, in which event Tenant shall promptly surrender the Premises to Landlord and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder. 

        (2)  Without
terminating this Lease, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part
thereof, and relet the Premises and receive the rent therefor. 

        B.    In
the event Landlord elects to terminate the Lease by reason of an event of default, then notwithstanding such termination, Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to
Landlord, at the address specified for notice to Landlord herein, the sum of all rental and other charges due hereunder up to the date of such termination. 

        C.    In
the event that Landlord elects to repossess the Premises without terminating this Lease, then Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, at the address
specified for notice to Landlord herein, all rental and other charges due hereunder up to the date of such 

4

 

repossession, plus rental required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the remainder of this Lease term until the date of expiration of the term, less any sums thereafter received by Landlord
through reletting the Premises during said period. 

        D.    In
the event of termination or repossession of the Premises for an event of default, Landlord hereby covenants to use Landlord's best efforts to relet the Premises, or
any portion thereof, and to collect rental after reletting. 

        E.    Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Lease, and as required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance
regulations and policy, in the event Tenant or its successors or assignees which are financial institutions shall become insolvent or bankrupt or shall be closed or taken over by the banking authority
of the State of Georgia, or other bank supervisory authority, Landlord may terminate the Lease only with the concurrence of such banking authority or other bank supervisory authority, and any such
authority shall have the election, which shall be exercised by notice to Landlord within 180 days from the date Tenant is so closed or taken over to either assume and continue the Lease or,
subject to the damages provision below, terminate the Lease, provided, that in the event this Lease is terminated, the maximum claim of Landlord for damages or indemnity for injury resulting from the
rejection or abandonment of the unexpired Lease shall in no event be in an amount exceeding the rent reserved by the Lease, without acceleration, for the 6 month period next succeeding the date
of the surrender of the Premises to Landlord, or the date of re-entry of Landlord, whichever first occurs, whether before or after the closing of Tenant, plus an amount equal to the unpaid
rent accrued, without acceleration up to the effective date of such termination. Tenant shall immediately provide notice to Landlord if it is closed or taken over as above set forth. 

        18.    Mortgages.    If the Premises are subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust or security deed on
the date of this Lease, Tenant's obligations hereunder shall be conditioned upon Tenant's receipt from the holder of each such mortgage, deed of trust or security deed, a nondisturbance agreement
reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Landlord hereby covenants and agrees to exercise Landlord's best efforts to obtain said nondisturbance agreement. 

        19.    Notices.    Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be sent by commercial courier service or by the
United States Postal Service certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with adequate postage prepaid, addressed to the appropriate party as hereinafter provided. Each such notice shall
be effective upon being so deposited with the courier service or with the United States Postal Service, as the case may be, but the time period in which a response to any such notice must be given or
any action taken with respect thereto shall commence to run from the date of receipt of the notice by the addressee thereof, as evidenced by the courier service delivery records or by the return
receipt of the United States Postal Service, as the case may be. Rejection or other refusal by the addressee to accept, or the inability of the courier service or the United States Postal Service to
deliver because of a
changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be the receipt of the notice sent. The addresses of Landlord and Tenant are as follows:

BANK SITE LEASE AGREEMENT

EXHIBIT "A"Rowe Separation Agreement

 Exhibit 10.9 
  
 PUMATECH, INC. 
  
 SEPARATION AGREEMENT 
  
 This Separation Agreement (“Agreement”) is made by and between Pumatech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and Bradley A. Rowe (“Mr. Rowe” or “Employee”). 
  
 WHEREAS, Mr. Rowe is employed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company and Mr. Rowe have mutually agreed to terminate the employment relationship and to provide for certain other matters. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises made herein, the Company and Mr. Rowe (collectively referred to as the “Parties”) hereby agree as follows: 

 
 1.    Resignation and Termination of Employment.    Mr. Rowe hereby resigns as
President and Chief Executive Officer and from all other executive positions he holds with the Company (and as an officer and/or director of any other entity which is an affiliate of the Company) effective on June 14, 2002 (the “Resignation
Date”) and Mr. Rowe shall terminate his employment with the Company effective on the Resignation Date. 
  
 2.    Outside Director.    Mr. Rowe and the Company agree that Mr. Rowe shall remain an outside director of the Company until the earliest to occur of (i) the expiration of Mr.
Rowe’s current term as a director; (ii) Mr. Rowe’s resignation or death; or (iii) the removal of Mr. Rowe as a director in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 3.    Separation Benefits.    In consideration for the release of claims set forth below and other obligations under this
Agreement, and provided this Agreement is signed by Mr. Rowe and not revoked under Section 7 herein, and further provided that Mr. Rowe remains in full compliance with his obligations to the Company under this Agreement, the Company
agrees to provide the following separation benefits to Mr. Rowe: 
  
 (a)  Severance.    Following the Resignation Date, the Company shall continue to pay as severance to Mr. Rowe his regular base salary for a six-month period following the Resignation Date (the
“Severance Period”). Each severance payment shall be reduced by applicable tax withholding and shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll schedule and practices. The first severance payment shall be made on
the first regular payroll date following the Effective Date of this Agreement. Mr. Rowe shall not be entitled to receive any bonus payments on account of past performance or otherwise; 
  
 (b)  Stock Option Vesting.    During the Severance Period, Mr. Rowe shall continue to vest in his existing stock
options and any repurchase option on unvested stock currently owned by Mr. Rowe shall continue to lapse, subject to Mr. Rowe not materially breaching any provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the terms of his outstanding stock option
agreements (the “Stock Option Agreements”), such vesting and lapse of any repurchase option shall cease as of the last day of the Severance Period. Further, if there is a Change of Control of the Company (as defined in the Change of
Control Agreement for Executive Officers 

  
 executed by Mr. Rowe and the Company on April 13, 2000, (the “Change of
Control Agreement”)) during the Severance Period, Mr. Rowe shall be entitled to the stock option vesting acceleration benefit set forth in the Change of Control Agreement; and 
  
 (c)  Stock Option Exercisability.    Notwithstanding the terms of the Stock Option Agreements, Mr. Rowe shall have the
right to exercise his vested stock options until December 14, 2003 (it being understood that any such stock options that currently qualify as incentive stock options under applicable tax law shall convert to non-qualified stock options for tax
purposes if the options are not exercised within 3 months after the Resignation Date), provided that in the event that Mr. Rowe materially breaches any provision of this Agreement, the exercise period shall expire 30 days after the Company provides
written notice to Mr. Rowe of such breach. 
  
 4.    Benefits. 
  
 (a)  Mr. Rowe shall continue to receive the Company’s life, medical, dental and vision insurance benefits
for himself and his dependents at Company expense until the earlier of December 14, 2002 or the date on which becomes eligible for comparable insurance benefits with a subsequent employer, which date shall be the “qualifying event” date
under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”). Following such date, Mr. Rowe has the right to COBRA continuation coverage for these insurance benefits (other than life insurance) in
accordance with applicable law at his own expense or, so long as Mr. Rowe remains an outside director of the Company, to participate in healthcare benefits that the Company makes available to its outside directors. 
  
 (b)  So long as Mr. Rowe remains an outside director of the Company, Mr. Rowe shall be entitled to receive all
benefits, including stock or option grants, that the Company generally makes available to outside directors, provided however that Mr. Rowe shall not be entitled to receive stock or option grants during the Severance Period. 
  
 (c)  Except as otherwise provided above, Mr. Rowe shall not be entitled to participate in any of the
Company’s benefit plans or programs after the Resignation Date. 
  
 (d)  Mr. Rowe
shall be entitled to keep the ThinkPad notebook computer that the Company issued to him, once it has been reviewed and scrubbed and all Company proprietary information has been removed by the Company’s IT Department. 
  
 5.    No Other Payments Due.    Mr. Rowe and the Company agree that the Company shall pay
to Mr. Rowe on the Resignation Date all salary, accrued vacation and other sums as are then due to Mr. Rowe. By executing this Agreement, Mr. Rowe hereby acknowledges receipt of all such payments as received and acknowledges that, in light of the
payment by the Company of all wages due to Mr. Rowe, California Labor Code Section 206.5 is not applicable to the Parties hereto. That section provided in pertinent part as follows: 
  
 No employer shall require the execution of any release of any claim or right on account of wages due, or to become due, or made as an advance on wages to be earned, unless
payment of such wages has been made.

 6.    Release of Claims.    In
consideration for the obligations of both parties set forth in this Agreement, Mr. Rowe and the Company, on behalf of themselves, and their respective heirs, executors, officers, directors, employees, investors, stockholders, advisors,
administrators and assigns, hereby fully and forever release each other and their respective heirs, executors, officers, directors, employees, investors, stockholders, advisors, administrators, parent and subsidiary corporations, predecessor and
successor corporations and assigns, of and from any claim, duty, obligation or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that any of them may possess arising from any
omissions, acts or facts that have occurred up until and including the Resignation Date relating to, or arising from Mr. Rowe’s employment relationship with the Company, including, without limitation: 
  
 (a)  any and all claims relating to or arising from Mr. Rowe’s employment relationship with the Company and
the termination of that relationship; 
  
 (b)  any and all claims relating to, or arising
from, Mr. Rowe’s right to purchase, or actual purchase of shares of stock of the Company; 
  
 (c)  any and all claims for wrongful discharge of employment; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of a covenant of good faith and fair dealing, both express and implied, breach of fiduciary duty as an
officer of the Company, negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress; negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage; negligence; and defamation;

  
 (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 Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; 
  
 (e)  any and all claims arising out of any other laws and regulations relating to employment or employment
discrimination; and 
  
 (f)  any and all claims for attorneys’ fees and costs.

  
 Excepted from the above release are Mr. Rowe’s rights of indemnity, statutory and contractual, as a former
executive of the Company. The Company and Mr. Rowe agree that the release set forth in this Section 6 shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. This release does not extend to any
obligations incurred or specified under this Agreement. 
  
 7.    Acknowledgment of Waiver of
Claims under ADEA.    Mr. Rowe acknowledges that he is waiving and releasing any rights he may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”) and that this waiver and release is knowing
and voluntary. Mr. Rowe and the Company agree that this waiver and release does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under ADEA after the Effective Date of this Agreement. Mr. Rowe acknowledges that the consideration given for this
waiver and release Agreement is in addition to anything of value to which Mr. Rowe was already entitled. Mr. Rowe further acknowledges that he has been advised by this writing that (a) he should consult with an attorney prior to executing

 
 3 

  
 this Agreement; (b) he has at least twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement; and
(c) he has seven (7) days following his execution of this Agreement to revoke the Agreement (the “Revocation Period”). This Agreement shall not be effective until the Revocation Period has expired. Nothing in this Agreement prevents
or precludes Mr. Rowe 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. 
  
 8.    Civil Code Section 1542.    The parties represent that
they are not aware of any claim by either of them other than the claims that are released by this Agreement. Mr. Rowe and the Company acknowledge that they are familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as
follows: 
  
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS
FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 
  
 Mr. Rowe and the Company, being aware of said Code section, agree to expressly waive any rights they may have thereunder, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect. 
  
 9.    Employee Covenants. 
  
 (a)  General.    Mr. Rowe agrees that for all periods described in this Agreement, he shall continue to conduct himself
in a professional manner that is supportive of the business of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the Severance Period, Mr. Rowe shall provide reasonable cooperation in communicating with investors and employees
regarding the transition to the new Chief Executive Officer, as requested by the Chief Executive Officer. During the Severance Period, Mr. Rowe shall also make himself available to the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer (or other officer
designated by the Board of Directors) for up to eight hours per week (pro rated for any partial weeks) for the purpose of consulting regarding transition matters. At mutually agreeable times and places, Mr. Rowe’s obligation to provide the
consulting services shall be subject to at least one-week advance notice from the Company of the need for the services and his reasonable availability to provide such services. Mr. Rowe shall not receive any additional compensation from the Company
in connection with providing such services. 
  
 (b)  Confidential
Information.    Mr. Rowe represents and warrants that he has not breached his obligations to the Company under the terms of the Puma Technology Employee Agreement Regarding Confidentiality and Inventions he executed on
October 1, 1993 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Mr. Rowe understands and agrees that his obligations to the Company under the Confidentiality Agreement survive the
termination of his relationship with the Company under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Mr. Rowe agrees that he will preserve as confidential all trade secrets, confidential knowledge, data or other proprietary information relating to
products, 

 
 4 

  
 processes, know-how, designs, formulas, developmental or experimental work,
computer programs, data bases, other original works of authorship, customer lists, business plans, financial information or other subject matter pertaining to any business of the Company or any of its employees, clients, consultants or licensees.

  
 (c)  Confidentiality of this Agreement.    The Parties each
agree to use their best efforts to maintain in confidence the existence of this Agreement, the contents and terms of this Agreement, and the consideration for this Agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Separation
Information”). Each Party hereto agrees to take every reasonable precaution to prevent disclosure of any Separation Information to third parties, except as may be disclosed in a press release to name the Company’s new Chief Executive
Officer and to state that Mr. Rowe will continue as an outside director of the Company and except for disclosures required by law or necessary to effectuate the terms of this Agreement. Mr. Rowe understands and acknowledges that the Company may be
required to file a copy of this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to disclose its terms in the Company’s next proxy statement. The Parties agree to take every precaution to disclose Separation Information only to those
employees, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants, governmental entities and family members who have a reasonable need to know of such Separation Information. 
  
 (d)  SEC Reporting/Insider Trading Compliance.    Mr. Rowe will cooperate with the Company in providing information
with respect to all reports required to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission as they relate to required information with respect to Mr. Rowe. Further, Mr. Rowe will remain in compliance with the terms of the
Company’s insider trading program, as such program is applicable to him following the Resignation Date, with respect to purchases and sales of the Company’s stock. 
  
 (e)  Noncompetition.    So long as Mr. Rowe is receiving any benefits under this Agreement, that is, continued payment
of base salary, continued insurance benefits, continued vesting, and continued ability to exercise vested stock options, or is a director of the Company, Mr. Rowe agrees that he shall not, individually or as an employee, consultant, partner,
officer, director or shareholder or in any other capacity whatsoever of or for any person, firm, partnership, or corporation other than the Company or its subsidiaries, work as an employee or consultant, or own, manage, operate, control or
participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, any business that is in competition with the current or planned business of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Mr.
Rowe may make personal investments in publicly traded corporations, provided that Mr. Rowe does not at any time own in excess of 1% of the issued and outstanding stock of any such publicly traded corporation. The Company and Mr. Rowe acknowledge and
agree that the Company’s sole remedy in connection with any breach of this Section 9(e) shall be for the Company to terminate its continued payment and provision of benefits under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment of
the salary, continued stock vesting and continued stock option exercisability, provided however that Mr. Rowe shall be entitled to exercise his vested options as set forth in Section 3(c) above. 
  

(f)  Nonsolicitation.    Mr. Rowe agrees that until the later to occur of June 14, 2004 or one year after the date
of termination of Mr. Rowe’s service as a director of the Company, he shall not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of 

 
 5 

  
 the Company’s employees or consultants to terminate their relationship with
the Company, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take away employees or consultants of the Company, either for himself or for any other person or entity. Further, Mr. Rowe agrees that he shall not at any time use any confidential
information of the Company to negatively influence any of the Company’s clients or customers from purchasing Company products or services or to solicit or influence or attempt to influence any client, customer or other person either directly or
indirectly, to direct his or its purchase of products and/or services away from the Company to any person, firm, corporation, institution or other entity in competition with the business of the Company. 
  
 (g)  Compliance with Existing Agreements.    Mr. Rowe agrees to comply with existing
agreements between Mr. Rowe and the Company, including agreements regarding non-disclosure of proprietary information of the Company or others and assignment of inventions. 
  
 10.    Non-Defamation.    Each Party agrees to refrain from (and the Company shall take reasonable steps to cause its
officers and directors to refrain from), either directly or indirectly, hereafter making any defamatory comments of any type or nature whatsoever to anyone about the other party (and in the case of the Company, its employees, officers, directors,
agents, consultants, affiliates, investors or business partners). 
  
 11.    Breach of this
Agreement.    Mr. Rowe acknowledges that upon material breach of any provision of this Agreement, the Company may sustain irreparable harm from such breach, and, therefore, Mr. Rowe agrees that (except as provided in Section
9(e)) in addition to any other remedies which the Company may have for any breach of this Agreement or otherwise, including termination of the Company’s obligations to provide the salary, benefits, continued stock vesting and continued stock
exercisability (subject to Section 3(c)), the Company may be entitled to obtain equitable relief including specific performance, injunctions and restraining Mr. Rowe from committing or continuing any such violation of this Agreement. Mr. Rowe
further agrees that if the Company ceases such payments and benefits as a result of Mr. Rowe’s breach of this Agreement, the waiver and release set forth in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect at all times in the future.

  
 12.    Authority.    The Company represents and warrants that the
undersigned has the authority to act on behalf of the Company and to bind the Company and all who may claim through it to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Mr. Rowe represents and warrants that he has the capacity to act on his own behalf
and on behalf of all who might claim through him to bind them to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 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. 
  
 13.    No
Representations.    Neither Party has relied upon any representations or statements made by the other Party hereto which are not specifically set forth in this Agreement. 
  

14.    Severability.    In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court or other tribunal of
competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision. 

 
 6 

  
 15.    Arbitration.    The Parties
shall attempt to settle all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement through good faith consultation. In the event no agreement can be reached on such dispute within fifteen (15) days after notification in writing by either Party to the
other concerning such dispute, the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration to be conducted in Santa Clara County, California before the American Arbitration Association under its California Employment Dispute Resolution Rules, or by a judge
to be mutually agreed upon. The arbitration decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on both Parties and any arbitration award or decision may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. 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 further agree that the prevailing Party in any such proceeding shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees
and costs. This Section 15 shall not apply to any claims or disputes that arise in connection with the Confidentiality Agreement. The parties hereby waive any rights they may have to trial by jury in regard to arbitrable claims. 

 
 16.    Indemnification.    The Indemnification Agreement entered into by Mr.
Rowe and the Company, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, shall remain in effect following the Resignation Date in accordance with the terms of such agreement. Mr. Rowe shall also continue to be covered by any D&O insurance
policies that the Company may have in place from time to time, so long as Mr. Rowe remains a director of the Company. 
  
 17.    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement, the Stock Option Agreements, the Change of Control Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Indemnification Agreement represent the
entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Mr. Rowe concerning Mr. Rowe’s separation from the Company, and supersede and replace any and all prior agreements and understandings concerning Mr. Rowe’s relationship with the
Company and his compensation by the Company. 
  
 18.    No Oral
Modification.    This Agreement may only be amended in writing signed by Mr. Rowe and the Company. 
  
 19.    Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. 
  
 20.    Effective Date.    This Agreement is effective upon the expiration of the Revocation
Period described in Section 7 and such date is referred to herein as the “Effective Date.” 
  
 21.    Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart shall have the same force and effect as an original and shall constitute an effective,
binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned. 
  
 22.    Assignment.    This Agreement may not be assigned by Mr. Rowe or the Company without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
may be assigned by the Company, without the consent of Mr. Rowe, to a corporation or other entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company, or to a 

 
 7 

  
 successor of the Company or its business in connection with a merger of the Company or a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company. 
  
 23.    Voluntary Execution of
Agreement.    This Agreement is executed voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence on the part or behalf of the Parties hereto, with the full intent of releasing all claims. The Parties acknowledge that:
