Each of the restrictive covenants set forth above are separate and severable covenants under this Section 6.

 

7. Termination. The initial term of this Agreement will begin on the date first written above and shall continue until the five-year anniversary of such date (“Initial Term”) and shall automatically renew for five year terms thereafter (“Renewal Terms”) (collectively the Initial Term and Renewal Terms referred to herein as “Employment Period”).

8.3 In the case of a termination arising under Section 7(d) from the Company’s termination with Cause or under Section 7(g) from the resignation of the Employee, then (a) no severance or continued benefits shall be due to Employee.

 

9. Return of Company Property. All correspondence, reports, records, charts, advertising materials, designs, patents, business plans, financial statements, manuals, memoranda, lists, and other personal property of the Company or its affiliates and in the possession of Employee shall be and remain the property of the Company and its affiliates, as applicable. Any such documentation, information or property that is in the possession of Employee shall, at the request of Company, be delivered promptly to the Company upon termination of Employee’s employment.

 

10. Non-Competition.

 

10.1 In consideration of the various benefits provided by the Company to Employee under this Agreement, Employee agrees to be bound by the restrictive covenant set forth in this Section. Employee recognizes and acknowledges the competitive and proprietary nature of the Business. Accordingly, Employee agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, , Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company (which the Company shall not unreasonably withhold or condition), for himself or on behalf of any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, either as principal, agent, stockholder, lender, consultant, officer, director, employee, agent, representative or in any other capacity, own, manage, operate or control, or be concerned, connected or employed by, or otherwise associate in any manner with, or engage in or have any financial interest in, any enterprise engaging in a Business that competes with the Company.

 

11. Indemnification. If Employee is made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than (i) an action directly by the Company against Employee, and other than (ii) a threatened, pending or completed suit or proceeding brought against Employee and/or the Company by a third- party and which obligates Employee to provide the Company indemnity under Section 13 below), by reason of or in connection with the fact that Employee is or was performing services for the Company under this Agreement, then the Company shall indemnify Employee against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, as actually and reasonably incurred by Employee in connection therewith to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. In the event that both Employee and the Company are made a party to the same third-party action, complaint, suit or proceeding, the Company agrees to engage competent legal representation, and Employee agrees to use the same representation, provided that if counsel selected by the Company shall have a conflict of interest preventing such counsel from representing Employee, Employee may engage separate counsel of his choosing and the Company shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees of such separate counsel. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Employee shall not be entitled to indemnification or expense advances under this Agreement in any case where he has exhibited gross negligence or willful misconduct, or performed criminal or fraudulent acts, or engaged in violations of federal securities laws; and the Company may withhold expense advances if it reasonably determines that Employee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder because of gross negligence, willful misconduct, the performance of criminal or fraudulent acts or the violation of federal securities laws.

 

6

 

 

12. Parachute Payments. If any payment or benefit (any “Payment”) Employee would receive from the Company pursuant to or in connection with a “Change in Control” as defined in the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code §280G would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code §280G, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code §4999 (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be adjusted to equal the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment (prior to adjustment) that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion of the Payment (prior to adjustment), which, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment (than that calculated under clause (x) above) notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless Employee elects, in writing, a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to the Company’s approval if made on or after the effective date of the event that triggers the Payment): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options, if any; and reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of the stock options is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Employee’s stock options (i.e., the earliest granted stock option will be cancelled last) unless Employee elects, in writing, a different order for cancellation.

 

13. No Conflicting Agreements. Employee represents and warrants to the Company that the execution of this Agreement by Employee and Employee’s employment by the Company, and the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, will not violate or breach any agreement with any former or existing employer, client, or any other person, firm or entity, to which agreement Employee is a party or by which agreement Employee is bound. Except as disclosed to the Board, Employee also represents and warrants that he is not affiliated in any manner (whether as a member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee or otherwise) with any person or non- affiliate entity that has any business relationship with the Company. Furthermore, Employee agrees to indemnify the Company from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages and claims, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of investigation, arising from any third-party claim made against the Company and based upon or arising out of any non-competition or confidentiality agreement between or among Employee and any such third party.

 

14. Assignment; Binding Effect. Employee understands that the Company is employing him on the basis of his personal qualifications, experience and skills. Therefore, Employee agrees that he cannot delegate any portion of his obligations of performance under this Agreement. To the extent the Company provides staffing to assist Employee in carrying out his job responsibilities; the failure of such staff, or the failure to provide staff, cannot serve as a reason for inadequate job performance by Employee. Employee may also not assign any of his rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be conditioned or withheld in the sole and complete discretion of the Company. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, and permitted successors and assigns.

15. Complete Agreement. This Agreement is not a promise of future employment. Except as specifically provided herein, Employee has received no oral representations, and has no other understandings or agreements with the Company (oral or written) or any of its officers, directors or representatives covering the same subject matter as this Agreement. This written Agreement, together with its exhibits and schedules, is the final, complete and exclusive statement and expression of the agreement between the Company and Employee pertaining to Employee’s employment. This written Agreement may not be later modified except in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company and Employee, and no term of this Agreement may be waived except by a writing signed by the party waiving the benefit of such term. This Agreement hereby supersedes any other employment agreements or understandings, written or oral, between the Company and Employee.

 

16. Notices. Whenever any notice is required hereunder, it shall be given in writing addressed as follows:

 

  If to the Company: 220 South Sixth Street, Suite 1200
    Minneapolis, MN 55402 Attention:  General Counsel
     
  If to Employee: Jon Sabes

 

Notice shall be deemed to be delivered four days after it is mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or one day after it is sent by a reputable overnight courier service. Either party may change the address for notice by notifying the other party of such change in accordance with this Section.

 

17. Severability; Blue Pencil Doctrine. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement or any application thereof, shall be found to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions and any application thereof, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is determined by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall reform any such provision to make it enforceable. The provisions of this Agreement shall, where possible, be interpreted so as to sustain their legality and enforceability.

18. Dispute Resolution.

 

18.1 To the greatest extent possible, the parties will endeavor to resolve any disputes relating to the Agreement through amicable negotiations. Failing an amicable settlement, any controversy, claim or dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, termination or breach of this Agreement, will finally be settled by binding arbitration before a three person arbitration panel (the “Arbitration Tribunal”) which will be jointly appointed by the parties. The Arbitration Tribunal shall self- administer the arbitration proceedings utilizing the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); provided, however, the AAA shall not be involved in administration of the arbitration. The Arbitration Tribunal must consist of one retired judge of a state or federal court of the United States or a licensed lawyer with at least 15 years of corporate or commercial law experience.

 

18.2 The arbitration will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Each party will have discovery rights as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure within the limits imposed by the arbitrators. It is the intent of the parties that any arbitration will be concluded as quickly as reasonably practicable. Once commenced, the hearing on the disputed matters will be held four days a week until concluded, with each hearing date to begin at 9:00 a.m. and to conclude at 5:00 p.m. The arbitrators will use all reasonable efforts to issue the final written report containing the award or awards within a period of five (5) business days after closure of the proceedings. Failure of the arbitrators to meet the time limits of this Section will not be a basis for challenging the award. The Arbitration Tribunal will not have the authority to award punitive damages to either party. Each party will bear its own expenses, but the parties will share equally the expenses of the Arbitration Tribunal. The Arbitration Tribunal shall award attorneys’ fees and other related costs payable by the losing party to the successful party as it deems equitable. This Agreement will be enforceable, however the Employee may appeal any arbitration award in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims for injunctive relief for breaches of Sections 4, 5, 6, 9 and 10, and claims to enforce arbitration awards, may be brought in a state or federal court in the State of Minnesota.

 

19. Equitable Relief. Employee acknowledges and agrees that it would be difficult to fully compensate the Company for damages resulting from the breach or threatened breach of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5, 6, 9 and 10 of this Agreement, and that any such breach may cause the Company irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Company will be entitled to seek injunctive relief, including but not limited to temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, to enforce the terms thereof, without the need to demonstrate irreparable harm or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the need to post any bond. This right to injunctive relief will not, however, diminish any of the Company’s other legal rights under this Agreement or at law.

 

20. Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall in all respects be construed according to the laws of the State of Minnesota, notwithstanding the conflicts-of-law provisions of such state. Subject to the provisions of Section 18 above, any claims for injunctive relief arising under this Agreement, and any claims to enforce an earlier issued arbitration award, shall be exclusively decided by a state or federal court in the State of Minnesota. Employee hereby irrevocably waives his right, if any, to have any disputes between him and the Company arising out of or related to this Agreement decided in any jurisdiction or venue other than a state or federal court in the State of Minnesota. Furthermore, Employee hereby irrevocably (a) waives any objection that he might have now or hereafter to the foregoing jurisdiction and venue of any such proceeding, (b) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court set forth above in any such proceeding, and (c) waives any claim or defense of inconvenient forum.

21. Further Assurances. Each party shall, without further consideration, execute such additional documents as may be reasonably required in order to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement.

 

22. Interpretation. Employee has had a meaningful opportunity to work with legal counsel of his choosing and has either availed himself of such opportunity to his satisfaction or has independently determined not to seek such counsel. Furthermore, Employee has a meaningful opportunity to review and negotiate the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Since both parties have participated in the negotiation, drafting and finalization of their business relationship and documented such relationship in this Agreement, this Agreement will not be interpreted as though it has been drafted solely by the Company.

 

23. Waivers. No term or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to have been waived nor shall there be any estoppel to enforce any provision hereof, except by a written instrument executed by the party charged with waiver or estoppel. A party’s delay, waiver or failure to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement or any similar agreement in one instance shall not constitute a waiver of its rights hereunder with respect to other violations of this or any other agreement.

 

24. Counterparts and Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Counterpart signatures delivered by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission shall be valid and binding to the same as the delivery of original ink signatures.
