In addition, if Executive furnishes to the Company an executed waiver and release of claims in a form to be provided by the Company (the “Release” ) within the time period specified therein, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days following Executive’s termination, and if Executive allows such Release to become effective in accordance with its terms, then Executive shall be entitled to: (1) severance in the form of continuation of Executive’s salary (at the Base Salary rate in effect at the time of termination) for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination date; (2) an additional severance payment equal to Executive’s target bonus for the year in which the qualifying termination or resignation is effective, pro rated for the number of days Executive was employed by the Company in such year; and (3) accelerated vesting of any unvested shares subject to any outstanding stock options and/or other equity awards, such that, on the effective date of the Release, the Executive shall be vested in one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject to such options and/or awards.

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

6.1 Cause . “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following, as determined by the Board: (i) Executive’s conviction of any felony or any crime involving fraud or dishonesty; (ii) Executive’s participation (whether by affirmative act or omission) in a fraud, act of dishonesty or other act of misconduct against the Company and/or its affiliates; (iii) conduct by Executive which, based upon a good faith and reasonable factual investigation by the Board, demonstrates Executive’s gross unfitness to serve; (iv) Executive’s violation of any statutory or fiduciary duty, or duty of loyalty, owed to the Company; (v) Executive’s breach of any material term of any material contract between such Executive and the Company, after written notice to Executive and an opportunity of at least thirty (30) days to cure; (vi) Executive’s repeated violation of any material Company policy, after written notice to Executive and an opportunity of at least thirty (30) days to cure; and/or (vii) Executive’s repeated failure to adequately perform his job duties, after written notice to Executive and an opportunity of at least thirty (30) days to cure. Whether a termination is for Cause shall be decided by the Board in its sole and exclusive judgment and discretion.

6.2 Good Reason. “Good Reason” for Executive to terminate his employment hereunder shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events without Executive’s consent: (i) a material reduction by the Company of Executive’s Base Salary as initially set forth herein or as the same may be increased from time to time, provided, however, that if such reduction occurs in connection with a Company-wide decrease in Executive compensation, such reduction shall not constitute Good Reason for Executive to terminate his employment; (ii) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company; (iii) a material reduction that amounts to an adverse change in Executive’s duties, authority, or responsibilities relative to Executive’s duties, authority, or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction; or (iv) a relocation of Executive’s principal place of employment to a location outside of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area and that constitutes a material change in the geographic location at which Executive must perform services under this Agreement.

Provided, however, that, any such termination by Executive shall only be deemed for Good Reason pursuant to this definition if: (1) Executive gives the Company written notice of his intent to terminate for Good Reason within thirty (30) days following the first occurrence of the condition(s) that he believes constitute(s) Good Reason, which notice shall describe such condition(s); (2) the Company fails to remedy such condition(s) within thirty (30) days following receipt of the written notice (the “Cure Period” ); and (3) Executive voluntarily terminates his employment within thirty (30) days following the end of the Cure Period.

 

  7. G ENERAL P ROVISIONS .

7.1 Representations and Warranties. Executive represents and warrants that Executive is not restricted or prohibited, contractually or otherwise, from entering into and performing each of the terms and covenants contained in this Agreement, and that Executive’s execution and performance of this Agreement will not violate or breach any other agreements between the Executive and any other person or entity.

7.2 Survival. Sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

4


7.3 Miscellaneous. This Agreement, along with the PIIA, constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between Executive and the Company with regard to its subject matter. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written or oral, other than those expressly contained herein, and it supersedes any other such promises, warranties or representations. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by both Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Company. This Agreement will bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of both Executive and the Company, and inure to the benefit of both Executive and the Company, and to his and its heirs, successors and assigns. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination will not affect any other provision of this Agreement and the provision in question will be modified so as to be rendered enforceable. This Agreement will be deemed to have been entered into and will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona as applied to contracts made and to be performed entirely within Arizona. Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall not be construed against either party as the drafter. Any waiver of a breach of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any successive breach. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and facsimile signatures will suffice as original signatures.

7.4 Section 409A . The severance benefits and other payments payable under this Agreement are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (the “ Code ”) and any state law of similar effect (collectively Section 409A ) or comply with its requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following provisions apply to the extent benefits provided herein are subject to Section 409A. Severance benefits shall not commence until Executive has a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A. Each installment of severance benefits is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i), and the severance benefits are intended to satisfy the exemptions from application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if such exemptions are not available and Executive is, upon separation from service, a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the severance benefits payments shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) six (6) months and one day after Executive’s separation from service, or (ii) Executive’s death.

Executive shall receive severance benefits only if Executive executes and returns to the Company, within the applicable time period set forth therein but in no event more than forty-five (45) days following the date of separation from service, the Release, and permits such Release to become effective in accordance with its terms (such latest permitted date, the Release Deadline Date ). If the severance benefits are not covered by one or more exemptions from the application of Section 409A and the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive separates from service, the Release will not be deemed effective any earlier than the Release Deadline Date. None of the severance benefits will be paid or otherwise delivered prior to the effective date of the Release. Except to the minimum extent that payments must be delayed because Executive is a “specified employee” or until the effectiveness of the Release, all amounts will be paid as soon as practicable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices.

7.4 Section 409A . The severance benefits and other payments payable under this Agreement are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (the “ Code ”) and any state law of similar effect (collectively Section 409A ) or comply with its requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the following provisions apply to the extent benefits provided herein are subject to Section 409A. Severance benefits shall not commence until Executive has a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A. Each installment of severance benefits is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i), and the severance benefits are intended to satisfy the exemptions from application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if such exemptions are not available and Executive is, upon separation from service, a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the severance benefits payments shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) six (6) months and one day after Executive’s separation from service, or (ii) Executive’s death.

Executive shall receive severance benefits only if Executive executes and returns to the Company, within the applicable time period set forth therein but in no event more than forty-five (45) days following the date of separation from service, the Release, and permits such Release to become effective in accordance with its terms (such latest permitted date, the Release Deadline Date ). If the severance benefits are not covered by one or more exemptions from the application of Section 409A and the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive separates from service, the Release will not be deemed effective any earlier than the Release Deadline Date. None of the severance benefits will be paid or otherwise delivered prior to the effective date of the Release. Except to the minimum extent that payments must be delayed because Executive is a “specified employee” or until the effectiveness of the Release, all amounts will be paid as soon as practicable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices.
