Re: Employee Offer Letter
Dear Keith:
I am delighted to offer you the position of Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales reporting to me, Mark Foley, President and Chief Executive Officer. In this position you will perform duties outlined in the job description as well as other duties as may be assigned. By signing this letter agreement, you represent and warrant to the Company that you are under no contractual commitments inconsistent with your obligations to the Company.
1.Compensation.
(a)Base Salary. You will be paid a salary at the annual rate of $325,000, payable in semi-monthly installments or otherwise in accordance with the Company's standard payroll practices for salaried employees. This salary may be subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company's employee compensation policies in effect from time to time.
(b)Base Equity Grants. Subject to the approval of the Board, and effective on the Start Date, you will be granted: (a) a nonqualified stock option to purchase 130,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the “Incentive Equity Option”); and (b) 65,000 Restricted Stock Units (“Incentive Equity RSUs”), each under the Company's 2012 Equity Plan. The vesting schedule for each of the Incentive Equity Option and the Incentive Equity RSUs shall be as follows:
“Nonqualified stock option and RSUs shall vest over four (4) years with one-fourth (1/4) of the options vesting at the end of twelve (12) months, and the remainder vesting monthly at a rate of 1/36th of the total number per month thereafter until all shares are vested. The stock option will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Company's 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, and as described in that plan and the applicable stock option agreement.”
(c)Incentive Equity Grants: Subject to the approval of the Board, you will be granted: 10,000 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), each quarter upon the achievement of specific revenue and profitability target goals which shall be defined within the Sales Compensation Plan, and approved by the Compensation Committee. Each grant is subject to the terms of the Company's 2012 Equity Plan.
(d)Car Allowance: You are eligible to receive $750/month car allowance in accordance with ZELTIQ's Car Allowance Policy and a satisfactory driving record.
(e)Sales Compensation Plan. In addition to your base salary, you will be eligible for a bonus of 70% of your base salary for meeting specific revenue growth objectives with the potential to exceed if goals are exceeded. The Sales Compensation Plan and bonus specifics will be defined within two (2) weeks of your date of hire. The Board shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether you are entitled to receive any such bonus and, if so, the amount of any such bonus. Any such bonus for 2012 will be pro-rated based upon your actual days of service. In order to earn any such bonus, you must remain employed by the Company through the date the bonus is paid according to the Sales Compensation Plan.
(f)Sign-on Bonus: You will receive a sign-on bonus of $50,000 with your first paycheck with the Company. You agree that in the event your employment terminates within the first twelve months, voluntary or involuntary for cause, that you will repay 100% of the bonus within thirty (30) days of termination.
2.Benefits. You shall be entitled to the Company's employment benefits available to all Company employees, as the same currently exist or may exist in the future. You acknowledge that participation in Company benefit programs may require payroll deductions and/or direct contributions by you.
3.Employment Terms. Your employment relationship with the Company will be governed by the general employment policies and practices of the Company. You will be required as a condition to your employment with the Company, to (i) acknowledge your receipt and understanding, sign and abide by the Company's standard Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A; (ii) sign and return a satisfactory I-9 Immigration form providing sufficient documentation establishing your employment eligibility in the United States, and (iii) provide satisfactory proof of your identity as required by United States law. Your duties under the Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement shall survive termination of your employment with the Company. By signing this letter, you acknowledge that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach by you of the provisions of the Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement would be inadequate, and you therefore agree that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in case of any such breach or threatened breach.
4.At-Will Employment. Your employment with the Company will be “at-will,” meaning that either you or the Company will be entitled to terminate your employment at any time and for any or no reason, with or without cause. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company's personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company.
5.Severance. If at any time (i) your employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, and in either event within one year after the consummation of a Change in Control (and other than a result of your death or disability); and (ii) not later than 60 days following your termination of employment you execute a general release of claims (the “Release”) in favor of the Company in such form provided by the Company, return such Release to the Company within the applicable time period set forth therein, and permit such Release to become effective in accordance with its terms; then, on the sixtieth (60th) day following such termination of employment, you shall receive or commence to receive, as the case may be (i) continuation of your then-current base salary and bonus, less required deductions and withholdings, for a period of Twelve (12) months after your employment termination date, payable on the Company's regular payroll dates (ii) acceleration of the vesting for the Base Equity Incentive Grant, such that your last date of employment, you will be deemed vested in any such equity which would have vested during the one year period after termination of your employment.
In addition to continuation of your then current base salary, the Company will pay your COBRA health insurance premiums sufficient to maintain your then-current coverage for a period of one year following termination of employment, provided that you timely elect COBRA, continue to be eligible for COBRA during such time period, and do not become eligible for health insurance benefits through another employer. You agree to promptly notify the Company in writing if you become eligible for health insurance benefits through another employer during the time you are receiving Severance Benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot provide the foregoing COBRA subsidy without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall instead provide you with a taxable monthly payment equal to the monthly COBRA subsidy, which shall be paid regardless of whether you elect COBRA coverage, shall commence in the month following the month in which you incur a Separation from Service (as defined in Section 4(c) below) and shall end on the earlier of the date you obtain other employment and the one year anniversary of your Separation from Service.
“Change in Control” shall mean: (a) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, or (b) any merger, consolidation or other business combination transaction of the Company with or into another corporation, entity or person, other than a transaction in which the holders of at least a majority of the shares of voting capital stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction continue to hold (either by such shares remaining outstanding or by their being converted into shares of voting capital stock of the surviving entity) a majority of the total voting power represented by the shares of voting capital stock of the Company (or the surviving entity) outstanding immediately after such transaction other than any transaction involving the issuance of any newly issued equity securities solely for cash.
“Cause” shall mean: (i) a willful failure by you to substantially perform your duties hereunder, other than a failure resulting from your complete or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness or impairment, (ii) a willful act by you which constitutes gross misconduct and which is injurious to the Company, (iii) a willful breach by you of a material provision of this Agreement, (iv) a material and willful violation by you of a federal or state law or regulation applicable to the business of the Company, or (v) termination of your employment in connection with the bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, or similar winding-up of the business of the Company.
“Good Reason” shall mean: (i) any material reduction in your base salary, (ii) a material diminution of your job duties or responsibilities, or (iii) a change in the location of your employment of more than 20 miles (which is material) from its current location unless such relocation is within 50 miles of your principal residence; provided, however, that in order to terminate your employment for Good Reason you shall first give the Company written notice stating with reasonable specificity the basis for the termination with Good Reason within ninety (90) days of the first occurrence of the event giving rise to Good Reason; give the Company a period of thirty (30) days to cure or remedy the problem, unless such problem cannot be cured or remedied within thirty (30) days, in which case the period for remedy or cure shall be extended for a reasonable time (not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days); and terminate your employment within thirty (30) days following the expiration of such cure period.
6.Outside Activities. While you render services to the Company, you will not engage in any other gainful employment, business or activity without the written consent of the Company. While you render services to the Company, you also will not assist any person or organization in competing with the Company, in preparing to compete with the Company or in hiring any employees of the Company. During the term of your employment by the Company, except on behalf of the Company, you shall not directly or indirectly, whether as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, proprietor, associate, representative, consultant, or in any capacity whatsoever engage in, become financially interested in, be employed by or have any business connection with any other person, corporation, firm, partnership or other entity whatsoever which were known by you to compete directly with the Company, throughout the world, in any line of business engaged in (or planned to be engaged in) by the Company; provided, however, that anything above to the contrary notwithstanding, you may own, as a passive investor, securities of any competitor corporation, so long as your direct holdings in any one such corporation shall not in the aggregate constitute more than 1% of the voting stock of such corporation.
7. Start Date. Your start date will be October 1, 2012.
8.Entire Agreement. This offer letter sets forth the full and complete agreement between you and the Company regarding your employment with the Company. Any additional or contrary terms, representations, offers or agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made to you are hereby revoked and superseded in their entirety by this offer.
We hope that you find the foregoing terms acceptable. You may indicate your agreement with these terms and accept this offer by signing and dating both the enclosed duplicate original of this letter and the enclosed Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement and returning them to me.

I agree at all times during the term of my employment with the Company and thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose to any person, firm, corporation or other entity without written authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company, any Confidential Information of the Company which I obtain or create. I further agree not to make copies of such Confidential Information except as authorized by the Company. I understand that “Confidential Information” means any and all information and materials, in whatever form, tangible or intangible, whether disclosed to or learned or developed by me before or after the execution of this Agreement, whether or not marked or identified as confidential or proprietary, pertaining in any manner to the business of or used by the Company and its affiliates, or pertaining in any manner to any person or entity to whom the Company owes a duty of confidentiality.

I represent that my performance of all terms of this Agreement have not breached and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by me in confidence or trust prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company, and I will not disclose to the Company, or induce the Company to use, any inventions, confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or any other party.
(c) Third Party Information. I recognize that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company's part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. I agree to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out my work for the Company consistent with the Company's agreement with such third party.
4. Inventions.
(a) Definition. I understand that the term “Inventions” in this Agreement means any and all ideas, concepts, inventions, discoveries, developments, modifications, improvements, know-how, trade secrets, data, designs, diagrams, plans, specifications, methods, processes, techniques, formulas, algorithms, tools, works of authorship, derivative works, software, content, textual or artistic works, mask works, video, graphics, sound recordings, structures, products, prototypes, systems, applications, creations and technologies in any stage of development, whether or not patentable or reduced to practice and whether or not copyrightable, that relate to the business of the Company or its affiliates, or the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company or its affiliates.
(b) Inventions Retained and Licensed. I have attached hereto, as Exhibit A, a list describing with particularity all inventions which were made by me prior to the commencement of my employment (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”), which belong solely to me or belong to me jointly with another, and which are not assigned to the Company hereunder; or, if no such list is attached, I represent that there are no such Prior Inventions. If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate into a Company product, process or machine a Prior Invention owned by me or in which I have an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative works of, use, sell and otherwise distribute such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product, process or machine.
(c) Assignment of Inventions. I hereby assign, and agree to assign automatically upon creation, to the Company, without additional compensation, my entire right, title and interest (including but not limited to intellectual property rights, trademark rights, copyrights and trade secret rights) in and to (a) all Inventions that are made, conceived, discovered or developed by me (either alone or jointly with others), or result from or are suggested by any work performed by me (either alone or jointly with others) for or on behalf of the Company or its affiliates, (i) during the period of my employment with the Company, whether before or after the execution of this Agreement and whether or not made, conceived, discovered or developed during regular business hours or (ii) during or after the period of my employment with the Company, whether before or after the execution of this Agreement, if based on or using Confidential Information or otherwise in connection with my activities as an employee of the Company (collectively, the “Company Inventions”), and (b) all benefits, privileges, causes of action and remedies relating to the Company Inventions, whether before or hereafter accrued (including, without limitation, the exclusive rights to apply for and maintain all registrations, renewals and/or extensions; to sue for all past, present or future infringements or other violations of any rights in the Invention; and to settle and retain proceeds from any such actions), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. I agree that all such Company Inventions are the sole property of the Company or any other entity designated by it, and all intellectual property rights shall vest in and inure to the benefit of the Company or such other entity. I agree and acknowledge that all copyrightable Company Inventions shall be considered works made for hire prepared within the scope of my employment. THIS PARAGRAPH DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY INVENTION WHICH QUALIFIES FULLY UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 2870 OF THE LABOR CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, A COPY OF WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THIS AGREEMENT AS EXHIBIT B. I understand that nothing in this Agreement is intended to expand the scope of protection provided me by Sections 2870 through 2872 of the California Labor Code.
(d) Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the term of my employment with the Company. The records may be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, flow charts, electronic data or recordings, laboratory notebooks, and any other format. The records will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times. I agree not to remove such records from the Company's place of business except as expressly permitted by Company policy which may, from time to time, be revised at the sole election of the Company for the purpose of furthering the Company's business.
(e) Patent and Copyright Rights. I agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company's expense, in every proper way to secure the Company's rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, trademarks, mask work rights, moral rights, or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments, recordations, and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for, obtain, maintain and transfer such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. I further agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement until the expiration of the last such intellectual property right to expire in any country of the world. If the Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or unavailability or for any other reason to secure my signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering Inventions or original works of
authorship assigned to the Company as above, then I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the application for, prosecution, issuance, maintenance or transfer of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if originally executed by me. I hereby waive and irrevocably quitclaim to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or hereafter have for infringement of any and all proprietary rights assigned to the Company.
5. Returning Company Documents; Privacy Rights. I agree that, at the time of termination of my employment with the Company, I will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all Company property, including but not limited to, any devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, laboratory notebooks, materials, flow charts, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by me pursuant to my employment or otherwise belonging to the Company, its successors or assigns. I further agree that any work areas or Company property, including filing cabinets and technology resources such as disks, internet, computer files, electronic-mail messages, voice message, and other storage media, are subject to monitoring or inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice. I therefore understand that I have no right to privacy with respect to any Company property, including technology resources.
