R E C I T A L S:

 

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Genpact Global Holdings 200[  ] Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which options may be granted to purchase the common stock of the Company (the “Shares”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to grant to Participant an option to purchase that number of Shares provided for herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves, their successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Grant of Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the additional terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby grants on the Date of Grant to Participant an option (the “Option”) to purchase              Shares (such shares, the “Option Shares”). To the extent the Option is granted to a United States taxpayer, the Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option.

 

2.                                       Option Subject to Plan; Requirement to Enter into Other Agreements.

 

(a)                                  By entering into this Agreement, Participant agrees and acknowledges that Participant has received and read a copy of the Plan and the Shareholders Agreement, agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan and the Shareholders Agreement, and has executed and returned the Joinder Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C.

 

(b)                                 The Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan. The Committee shall have final authority to interpret and construe the Plan and this Agreement and to make any and all determinations under them, and its

 



 

decision shall be binding and conclusive upon Participant and his legal representative in respect of any questions arising under the Plan or this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and any terms or provisions of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement will govern and prevail.

 

(c)                                  Prior to the first public offering of the Shares on any national securities exchange or inter dealer quotation system (an “IPO”), Participant shall not be permitted to exercise the Option (or any portion thereof) unless immediately prior to such exercise (or at such earlier time as the Company may require) Participant shall have become a party to the (i) the Stock Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D and (ii) Fiduciary Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E.

 

3.                                       Terms and Conditions.

 

(a)                                  Option Price. The price at which Participant shall be entitled to purchase the Option Shares upon the exercise of all or any portion of the Option shall be U.S.$[FMV at time of grant] per Option Share.

 

(b)                                 Expiration Date. Subject to Section 3(d) hereof, the Option shall expire at the end of the period commencing on the Date of Grant and ending at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day preceding the tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “Option Period”).

 

(c)                                  Exercisability of the Option.

 

(i)                                     Vesting. Subject to Participant’s continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate and except as may otherwise be provided herein, the Option shall become vested and exercisable as to [           ]. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Vesting Commencement Date” shall mean [            ].

 

(ii)                                  Methods of Exercise. Following the IPO, the Option may be exercised only by written notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (or a successor form provided by the Committee), delivered to the Company in person or by mail in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof and accompanied by payment therefor in accordance with Section 3(c)(iii) hereof. Prior to the IPO, the Option may be exercised only by (A) Participant transferring the Option (or the portion thereof that is being exercised) to the Fiduciary in accordance with the Fiduciary Agreement, (B) Participant delivering to the Fiduciary written notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (or a successor form provided by the Committee), delivered in person or by mail in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof and accompanied by payment therefor, and (C) payment to the Company of the aggregate exercise price by Participant in accordance with Section 3(c)(iii) hereof. Following exercise of the Option (or any

 

2



 

portion thereof) by the Fiduciary, the Company shall as soon as practicable deliver Shares in respect of such exercised Option (or portion thereof) to the Fiduciary to be held for the benefit of Participant and such Shares shall be delivered to Participant only at such time as the Company is no longer a Societé à Responsabilité Limitée organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (or, if deemed necessary by the Company, on such later date on which the Company ceases to be a Societé d’Investissement en Capital à Risque organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg).

 

(iii)                               Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase price of the Option Shares shall be paid by Participant (A) in cash (by check, wire transfer or other manner agreed by the Company) and/or (B) at any time following an IPO, (x) in Shares having a Fair Market Value at the time the Option is exercised equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or portion thereof being exercised (including by means of attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of Shares in lieu of actual delivery of such shares to the Company); provided, that, such Shares have been held by Participant for at least six (6) months prior to exercise or (y) by delivering to the Committee a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to deliver promptly to the Company the proceeds of the sale of the Shares subject to the Option or portion thereof being exercised, sufficient to pay the aggregate exercise price of the Option or portion thereof being exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in the manner described in clause (B) of the preceding sentence if the Committee determines that exercising an Option in such manner would violate any applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company or any Affiliates are listed or traded.

 

(d)                                 Effect of Termination of Employment on the Option.

 

(i)                                     Death/Disability. If Participant’s employment or services with the Company and its Affiliates terminates on account of Participant’s death or by the Company or any Affiliate due to “Disability” (as defined below), the unvested portion of the Option shall expire on the date of termination and the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable by Participant through the earlier of (A) the expiration of the Option Period or (B) six months following the date of termination on account of death or Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean “Disability” as defined in any employment or consulting agreement between Participant and the Company or an Affiliate in effect at the time the existence of Disability is to be determined, or, in the absence of such an employment or consulting agreement, a condition entitling Participant to receive benefits under the long-term disability plan of the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, or, in the absence of such a plan, Participant’s complete and permanent inability by reason of illness or accident to perform the duties of the occupation at which a Participant was employed or served when such illness or accident commenced, as determined by the Committee based upon medical evidence acceptable to it.

 

(ii)                                  Termination Other than due to Death/Disability or for Cause. If Participant’s employment or services with the Company and its Affiliates is

 

3



 

terminated for any reason other than on account of Participant’s death or by the Company or any Affiliate due to Disability or for Cause, the unvested portion of the Option shall expire on the date of termination and the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable by Participant through the earlier of (A) the expiration of the Option Period or (B) ninety (90) days following such termination.

 

(iii)                               Termination for Cause. If Participant’s employment or services with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated by the Company or any Affiliate for “Cause” (as defined below), both the unvested and the vested portions of the Option shall terminate on the date of such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean “Cause” as defined in any employment or consulting agreement between Participant and the Company or an Affiliate in effect at the time of such termination or, in the absence of such an employment or consulting agreement: (A) any conviction by a court of, or entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contendre by Participant with respect to, a felony or any lesser crime involving moral turpitude or a material element of which is fraud or dishonesty; (B) Participant’s willful dishonesty of a substantial nature towards the Company and any of its Affiliates; (C) Participant’s use of alcohol or drugs which materially interferes with the performance of his duties to the Company and/or its Affiliates or which materially compromises the integrity and reputation of Participant or the Company and/or its Affiliates; or (E) the Participant’s material, knowing and intentional failure to comply with material applicable laws with respect to the execution of the Company’s and its Affiliates’ business operations.

 

(e)                                  Compliance with Legal Requirements. The granting and exercising of the Option, and any other obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Option Shares as the Committee may consider appropriate and may require Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Option Shares in order to be in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

(f)                                    Transferability. The Option shall not be transferable by Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

 

(g)                                 Rights as Shareholder. If the Option (or portion thereof) is exercised following the IPO, Participant shall not be deemed for any purpose to be the owner of any Shares subject to the Option unless, until and to the extent that (i) the Option shall have been exercised pursuant to its terms, (ii) the Company shall have issued and delivered to Participant the Option Shares, and (iii) Participant’s name shall have been entered as a shareholder with respect to such Option Shares on the books of the Company. If the Option (or portion thereof) is exercised prior to the IPO, any Option Shares for which the Option is exercised shall be issued and delivered to the Fiduciary, the Fiduciary’s name shall be entered as the holder of such Option Shares on the books of the Company, such Option Shares shall be voted in accordance with the Fiduciary

 

4



 

Agreement, and the Fiduciary shall hold such Option Shares (and any dividends relating to such Option Shares that are paid in Shares) for the benefit of Participant until such time as the Company is no longer a Societé à Responsabilité Limitée organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (or, if deemed necessary by the Company, on such later date on which the Company ceases to be a Societé d’Investissement en Capital à Risque organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg).

 

(h)                                 Required Withholding. Upon exercise of the Option, Participant must pay in the form of a check or cash or other cash equivalents to the Company any such additional amount as the Company determines that it is required to withhold under applicable laws in respect of the exercise of Option Shares by Participant or by the Fiduciary on behalf of Participant; provided that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, allow such withholding obligation to be satisfied by any other method described in Section 8(d) of the Plan.

FORM OF AGREEMENT - TO BE SIGNED UPON EXERCISE

 

EXHIBIT D

 

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is made as of the date indicated on the signature page hereof by and between Genpact Global Holdings SICAR, a Societé à Responsabilité Limitée organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the “Company”), and the party identified on the signature page hereto (“Purchaser”).

 

WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to acquire the number of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) set forth on the Notice of Option Exercise or Notice of Option Transfer and Instruction to Exercise Option, as applicable, to which the Agreement is attached (the “Exercise Notice”) at the purchase price also set forth thereon pursuant to Purchaser’s exercise of a stock option issued by the Company to Purchaser pursuant to (i) the Stock Option Agreement between the Company and the Purchaser dated as of                     (the “Option Agreement”) and (ii) the Genpact Global Holdings 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) and the Company desires to issue said Shares to Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable), subject to the restrictions on transfer and rights hereinafter set forth; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Purchaser desire to enter into this Agreement in order to (i) prevent the transfer of the Shares to third parties who might not contribute to the development and management of the Company’s business, and (ii) provide for the future management and ownership of the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, to achieve these objectives, the parties wish to impose certain restrictions on the transfer or encumbrance of the Shares issued to Purchaser and to give the Company the right to purchase the Shares in certain events.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves, their successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Purchase of Shares. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Option Agreement, Purchaser hereby subscribes for and, upon acceptance by the Company hereof, shall purchase the Shares. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares set forth in the Exercise Notice and the amount of any taxes and other withholding required to be paid to the Company by Purchaser in connection with such purchase shall be paid by Purchaser in the manner prescribed in the Option Agreement. Upon receipt of payment by the Company for the Shares and for any required withholding, (a) if no Fiduciary Agreement is in effect at the time the Shares are purchased, the Company shall register the Purchaser in the share register of the Company and issue to Purchaser one or more certificates in the name of Purchaser for the Shares and (b) if a Fiduciary Agreement is in effect at the time the Shares are purchased, the Company shall register the Fiduciary in the share register of the Company and issue to the Fiduciary one or more

 



 

certificates in the name of the Fiduciary for the Shares and the Fiduciary shall hold such Shares for the benefit of Purchaser until such time as the Company is no longer a Societé à Responsabilité Limitée organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (or, if deemed necessary by the Company, on such later date on which the Company ceases to be a Societé d’Investissement en Capital à Risque organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg). Purchaser (and, if applicable, the Fiduciary, who shall also become a party to this Agreement immediately following the execution of a Fiduciary Agreement by the Company, Purchaser and the Fiduciary) agrees that the Shares shall be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement, and, if applicable, the Fiduciary Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the definitions set forth in the Option Agreement or the Plan, as applicable.

 

2.             Call Option.

 

(a)           If Purchaser’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated for any reason (or no reason) at any time prior to the 30-day period preceding a Change in Control, the Company shall have the right and option (the “Call Option”), but not the obligation, to purchase from Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable) any or all of the Shares. The purchase price of each Share shall be the Fair Market Value of one share of the Stock on the date the Call Option is exercised (the “Call Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in the Option Agreement), the Call Price shall be the lesser of (i) Fair Market Value and (ii) the per Share exercise price set forth in the Option Agreement. In the event that Purchaser’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated due to Purchaser’s death, all references to “Purchaser” for purposes of this Section 2 (other than those relating to termination of employment) shall include the administrator of Purchaser’s estate.

 

(b)           The Company may exercise the Call Option by delivering or mailing to Purchaser or the Fiduciary (with a copy to Purchaser), as applicable, in accordance with Section 11 of this Agreement, written notice of exercise (a “Call Notice”) at any time following the termination of Purchaser’s employment with the Company. The Call Notice shall specify the date thereof, the number of Shares to be purchased and the Call Price. Notwithstanding the above, the Company’s right to exercise the Call Option shall be suspended for six months and one day following the issuance of the Shares subject to the Call Option or such other period of time, if any, deemed necessary by the Committee in order for the Company to comply with applicable accounting rules and other laws.

 

(c)           Within ten (10) days after Purchaser’s (or the Fiduciary’s, as applicable) receipt of the Call Notice, Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable) shall tender to the Company at its principal office the certificate or certificates representing the Shares which the Company has

 

2



 

elected to purchase, duly endorsed in blank by Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable) all in form suitable for the transfer of such shares to the Company. Upon its receipt of such shares, the Company shall pay to Purchaser the aggregate Call Price therefor.

 

(d)           The aggregate Call Price may be payable, at the option of the Company, (i) in cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of Purchaser to the Company, (ii) in cash (by check or wire transfer), or (iii) any combination of (i) or (ii).

 

(e)           The Company will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable) regarding the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Company’s exercise of the Call Option as may be reasonably requested by the Company, including but not limited to the representation that Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable) has good title to the Shares to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims and other encumbrances.

 

(f)            If the Company delivers a Call Notice as to any Shares, then from and after the time of delivery of the Call Notice Purchaser (and the Fiduciary, as applicable) shall no longer have any rights as a holder of the Shares subject thereto (other than Purchaser’s right to receive payment of the Call Price in accordance with this Section 1), and such Shares shall be deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof and the Company shall be deemed to be the owner and holder of such Shares.

 

(g)           Any Shares as to which the Call Option is not exercised will remain subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan, the Fiduciary Agreement and this Agreement, including the continuation of the Company’s right to exercise the Call Option.

 

3.             Drag Along Rights. If the Company or its shareholders have received from a person or entity which is not an affiliate of the Company a bona fide written offer to purchase (a “Drag-Along Sale”) (i) 30% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Stock or (ii) shares of the Company’s equity securities entitled to vote in the election of directors (“Company Voting Securities”) representing 30% or more of the voting power of all Company Voting Securities, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation (the “Drag-Along Right”) to deliver a written notice (a “Drag Along Notice”) to Purchaser (or the Fiduciary with a

copy to Purchaser, as applicable) stating that it or its shareholders proposes to effect such transaction, and specifying the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of Stock or Company Voting Securities, as applicable, proposed to be subject to such transaction, the name and address of the proposed parties to such transaction and the consideration payable in connection therewith. Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable) agrees that, upon receipt of a Drag Along Notice, Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable) shall, at the option of the Company, sell at the same time as the other shareholders sell their shares, a

 

3



 

corresponding percentage (based of the percentage of Stock or Company Voting Securities subject to such transaction, as applicable) of the number of Shares then held by Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable) upon terms and conditions which, in the aggregate, are no less favorable to Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable) than the terms and conditions applicable to the sale of shares of Stock or Company Voting Securities by Company shareholders in the Drag-Along Sale; and Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable) shall otherwise take all reasonable actions including, without limitation, entering into agreements similar to those to be entered into by other Company shareholders, necessary to consummate the Drag-Along Sale (excluding any indemnification, contribution or similar obligations or agreements not specifically relating to a breach of any representation or warranty by Purchaser or the Fiduciary, as applicable, as to Purchaser’s or the Fiduciary’s, as applicable, ownership of or ability to transfer the Shares subject to the Drag-Along Sale). The consideration shall be in the form of cash, equity or debt securities (whether or not publicly traded) or a combination thereof (but such consideration shall be in the same form and the same proportion as that applicable to the sale of shares of Stock or Company Voting Securities, as applicable, by the other Company shareholders in the Drag-Along Sale). Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable) will use Purchaser’s (or the Fiduciary’s, as applicable) best commercial efforts to cooperate in any such transaction and will take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the Drag-Along Sale as are reasonably requested by the Company or the Board, including, without limitation, the execution of an agreement to effect the foregoing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the person or entity making the offer to purchase the Stock or Company Voting Securities, as applicable (excluding any indemnification, contribution or similar obligations or agreements not specifically relating to a breach of any representation or warranty by Purchaser or the Fiduciary, as applicable, as to Purchaser’s or the Fiduciary’s as applicable, ownership of or ability to transfer the Shares subject to the Drag-Along Sale). The Company and its shareholders shall have no liability to Purchaser (and the Fiduciary, as applicable) if the transaction described in the Drag Along Notice fails to occur for any reason. Any Shares which are not sold pursuant to this Section 3 shall remain subject to all other terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, including the continuation of the Company’s right to exercise the Drag-Along Right and Purchaser’s (or the Fiduciary’s, as applicable) rights under Section 4.

 

4.             Tag-Along Rights. Other than in connection with the exercise of a Drag-Along Right, if the Company or its shareholders have received from a person or entity which is not an affiliate of the Company a bona fide written offer to purchase (a “Tag-Along Sale”) (i) 30% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Stock or (ii) shares of the Company Voting Securities representing 30% or more of the voting power of all Company Voting Securities, the Company shall, prior to accepting such offer, arrange for the proposed purchaser(s) to make a bona fide offer to purchase a corresponding percentage (based of the percentage of Stock or Company Voting Securities subject to such transaction, as applicable) of the number of Shares then held by Purchaser (or the Fiduciary on behalf of Purchaser) upon terms and conditions which, in the aggregate, are no less favorable to Purchaser than the terms and conditions offered by the proposed purchaser(s) to the Company or its shareholders in the Tag-Along Sale. The Company shall deliver a written notice (a “Notice”) to Purchaser (or the Fiduciary with a

 

4



 

copy to Purchaser, as applicable) stating that it or its shareholders proposes to accept such offer, and specifying the number of Shares Purchaser (or the Fiduciary on behalf of Purchaser) may sell, the name and address of the proposed parties to such transaction and the consideration payable in connection therewith. Upon receipt of the Notice, Purchaser (or the Fiduciary on behalf of Purchaser) may exercise Purchaser’s (or the Fiduciary’s, as applicable) right to sell such Shares by delivery, not later than 10 days after receipt of the Notice, a written notice (the “Tag-Along Notice”) to the Company, which shall state the maximum number of Shares that Purchaser (or the Fiduciary acting on behalf of Purchaser) wishes to include in the sale. The consideration shall be in the form of cash, equity or debt securities (whether or not publicly traded) or a combination thereof (but such consideration shall be in the same form and the same proportion as that applicable to the sale of shares of Stock or Company Voting Securities, as applicable, by the other Company shareholders in the Tag-Along Sale). Purchaser (or the Fiduciary, as applicable) will use Purchaser’s (or the Fiduciary’s, as applicable) best commercial efforts to cooperate in any such transaction and will take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the Tag-Along Sale as are reasonably requested by the Company or the Board, including, without limitation, the execution of an agreement to effect the foregoing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the person or entity making the offer to purchase the Stock or Company Voting Securities, as applicable (excluding any indemnification, contribution or similar obligations or agreements not specifically relating to a breach of any representation or warranty by Purchaser or the Fiduciary, as applicable, as to Purchaser’s or the Fiduciary’s as applicable, ownership of or ability to transfer the Shares subject to the Tag-Along Sale). The Company and its shareholders shall have no liability to Purchaser (and the Fiduciary, as applicable) if the transaction described in the Tag-Along Notice fails to occur for any reason. Any Shares which are not sold pursuant to this Section 4 shall remain subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the continuation of the Company’s right to exercise the Drag-Along Right and Purchaser’s (or the Fiduciary’s, as applicable) rights under this Section 4.

 

5.             Restrictions on Transfer.

6.             Compliance With Agreement. The Company shall not be required to transfer any Shares upon its books or to recognize any purported new transferee thereof in any manner, unless a shareholder meeting shall have approved the transfer to the transferee and every applicable provision of this Agreement has first been complied with to the satisfaction of the Company or has been waived in writing by the Company. The provisions of this Agreement shall not be discharged with respect to any Shares by any transfer made in compliance with this Agreement but shall apply anew to such shares in the hands of the new transferee thereof. If the Fiduciary, Purchaser or any legal representative or any transferee of either attempts to transfer any of the Shares without compliance with the requirements and restrictions of this Agreement, the Fiduciary or Purchaser, as applicable, shall not, until full compliance therewith, be entitled to any of the rights and privileges of a shareholder of the Company, and no person purporting to

 

5



 

claim or hold by, through or under the Fiduciary or Purchaser, as applicable, shall in any way be recognized; but this provision shall in no way relieve the Fiduciary or Purchaser, as applicable, or any legal representative or any transferee of either from the obligation to offer, transfer or sell the Shares to the Company as herein provided.

 

7.             Adjustments for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc.

(b)           If the Shares are converted into or exchanged for, or shareholders of the Company receive by reason of any distribution in total or partial liquidation, securities of another corporation, or other property (including cash), pursuant to any merger of the Company or acquisition of its assets, then the rights of the Company under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company’s successor and this Agreement shall apply to the securities or other property received upon such conversion, exchange or distribution in the same manner and to the same extent as the Shares.

 

8.             Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of the Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

 

9.             Waiver. Any right of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Committee. No waiver of any right hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other right, or as a waiver of the same right with respect to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or as a waiver of any right to damages. No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the continuation of the same breach.

 

10.           Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns, and of Purchaser and the beneficiaries, executors, administrators, heirs and successors of Purchaser, and, if applicable, of the Fiduciary and its successors and assigns.

 

11.           No Rights to Employment, etc. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving Purchaser any right to be retained, in any position, as an employee, consultant or director of the Company (or its Affiliates) or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company (or its Affiliates) or of
