Sample Business Contracts

Employment Agreement [Amendment No. 1] - McAfee Inc. and William Kerrigan

Employment Forms

Employment Contract. Employers can customize an employment agreement that states the salary, benefits, working hours and other important provisions for their new or existing employee.
Consulting Agreement. Answer simple questions to build a contract with a consultant. Specify the services rendered, when payment is due, as well as IP rights.
Commission Agreement. Employers who compensate their sales employees based on commissions can prepare an agreement to reduce misunderstandings by specifying the base salary and how commissions are calculated.
Executive Employment Agreement. Companies may offer their business executives a contract that is different from the one provided to their regular employees. Executive employment agreements may be more complex because the compensation structure may include a combination of salary and commissions, provide for bonuses based on sales, stock or other financial targets, and include non-compete, confidentiality and severance provisions.
Sales Representative Contract. Independent sales representatives offer companies the potential to increase the sale of products or services without the burden of increasing headcount. Both parties should understand how commissions are calculated, when commissions will be paid, as well as how the representative will treat confidential information from the company and whether the representative may also sell a competing line of products or services.

For purposes of the Target Bonus calculation under this Section 4(c) regarding Target Bonus measuring periods ending subsequent to the termination of Executive's employment, the Target Bonus shall be deemed to be the same as for the

Target Bonus measuring period during which Executive's employment terminated, and the goals shall be deemed to be fully met.

This Release does not extend to and shall not relieve the Company from any obligations incurred under Sections 4(d) or 4(e) of the Employment Agreement between the Executive and the Company dated October 1, 2004, as amended on May 24, 2005.

WILLIAM KERRIGAN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made by and between McAfee (the "Company"), and William Kerrigan ("Executive") as of October 1,2004.

1. Duties and Scope of Employment.

(a) Positions; Employment Commencement Date; Duties. Executive's employment with the Company commenced August 19, 2002 (the "Employment Commencement Date"). As of the date of this Agreement, the Company employs Executive as Senior Vice President of the Company for the McAfee Consumer Brand reporting into the President of the Company (the "President"). The period of Executive's employment hereunder is referred to herein as the "Employment Term." During the Employment Term, Executive shall render such business and professional services in the performance of his/her duties that are consistent with Executive's position within the Company, as shall reasonably be assigned to him/her by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "CEO") and or the President.

(b) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive shall devote his/her full business efforts and time to the Company. Executive agrees, during the Employment Term, not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the CEO; provided, however, that Executive may serve in any capacity (i) with any civic, educational or charitable organization, or (ii) as a member of corporate boards of directors or committees of another corporation so long as such organization does not compete with the Company if Executive obtains the prior written approval of the CEO with respect to serving in such capacity, which may be withheld in the sole discretion of the CEO. The term "Board" means the Board of Directors of the Company.

2. Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the employee and fringe benefit plans maintained by the Company (as such plans are amended from time to time) that are applicable to other management personnel serving at levels no higher than Executive to the full extent provided for under those plans.

3. At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company agree and acknowledge that Executive's employment with the Company constitutes "at-will" employment. Subject to the Company's obligation to provide severance benefits as specified herein, Executive and the Company agree that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option of either the Company or Executive.

4. Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay the Executive as compensation for his/her services a base salary at the annualized rate of Three Hundred Thousand ($300,000.00). Such base salary shall be paid periodically in accordance

with normal Company payroll practices and subject to the usual, required withholding. The Company will review (in accordance with the policies set by the Compensation Committee of the Board) Executive's base salary at least once annually starting in January 2005 and, if it deems it appropriate, modify the base salary. Executive's annualized base salary, as modified as provided herein, shall be referred to as his/her "Base Salary."

(b) Bonuses. Executive shall be eligible to participate in the executive quarterly incentive bonus program (as it may be amended from time to time), with milestones based in part on Company performance and/or in part on Executive's individual performance. Executive's quarterly target incentive is 66.67% of Base Salary for such quarter (the "Target Bonus"). The payment of all or any portion of the Target Bonus for any calendar quarter shall depend on whether the relevant goals are met (or, in the case of a Target Bonus that has tiered goals, which, if any, tier or tiers of goals are met).

(i) Termination For Any Reason. Notwithstanding Executive's entitlement to severance benefits under certain circumstances discussed below in this Section 6(c), upon termination of Executive's employment for any reason, the Company shall pay Executive all Base Salary and accrued but unpaid vacation earned through the date of termination, reimburse Executive for all necessary and reasonable expenses in accordance with Section 4 and continue Executive's benefits under the Company's then-existing benefit plans and policies for so long as required by applicable law. In addition, if, and only if, the relevant goals for the calendar quarter in which the termination of Executive's employment occurs are met, then the Company shall also pay executive the Target Bonus (or the portion of the Target Bonus that would be paid based on the tiers of goals that are met) for such calendar quarter but prorated based on the quotient of (A) the number of days in the calendar quarter through the date of termination, divided by (B) the number of days in such calendar quarter. For illustration purposes only, if Executive's Target Bonus is $1,000, and Executive is terminated on May 15, and Executive met sufficient goals to receive a $600 Target Bonus, then his/her actual bonus for the year of termination would be $297 ($600 x (45/91)).

(ii) Termination Due to Total Disability, Death, Resignation for Good Reason and Involuntary Termination Other Than for Cause. If (A) Executive dies, (B) Executive resigns his/her employment with the Company due to a Total Disability, (C) Executive resigns his/her employment with the Company for Good Reason, or (D) Executive's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, then, subject to Executive executing, and not revoking, the Mutual Release of Claims attached hereto as Exhibit A with the Company, (1) Executive shall receive six (6) monthly payments, each equal to the product of (A) one-twelfth (1/12) multiplied by the sum of Executive's Base Salary plus (B) one third of the Target Bonus; less applicable withholding, and otherwise in accordance with the Company's standard payroll practices, and (2) the Company shall pay the portion of the group health, dental and vision plan continuation coverage premiums for Executive and his/her covered dependents under Title X of the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"), that would have been paid by the Company were he/she still employed by the Company, through the lesser of (x) six (6) months from the date of Executive's termination of employment, or (y) the date upon which Executive and his/her covered dependents are eligible to be covered by

similar plans of Executive's new employer, and (3) if, and only if, such termination is within six (6) months following a Change in Control, then all of Executive's remaining unvested stock options and shares of restricted stock shall vest immediately, and, if applicable, the Company's right to repurchase all of the same such shares immediately shall lapse.

(iii) Involuntary Termination for Cause or Resignation Other Than For Good Reason. In the event Executive terminates his/her employment other than for Good Reason or Executive's employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company for Cause, then all vesting of stock options, restricted stock and any other equity compensation shall terminate immediately and all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder shall immediately terminate (except as to amounts already earned, as specified in Section 6(c)(i) above, and the right, subject to the terms of the relevant stock option agreement(s), to exercise any stock options vested through the date of termination).

(iv) Definitions.

(1) Termination for Cause. A termination of Executive's employment for "Cause" means a termination of Executive's employment by the Company based upon a good faith determination by the Board that one or more of the following has occurred: (a) Executive's commission of a material act of fraud with respect to the Company in connection with Executive carrying out his/her responsibilities as an employee, (b) any intentional refusal or willful failure to carry out the reasonable instructions of the CEO or the Board, (c) Executive's conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a misdemeanor crime of moral turpitude or a felony, (d) Executive's gross misconduct in connection with the performance of his/her duties hereunder, or (e) Executive's material breach of his/her obligations under this Agreement and any other agreement to which Executive and the Company or its Affiliate is a party.

(2) Change in Control. "Change in Control" shall mean any of the following:

(A) the acquisition by any individual, entity, or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than by the Company or any Affiliate thereof or any Affiliate of a shareholder of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the combined voting power or economic interests of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;

(B) A change in the composition of the Board occurring within a twenty-four month period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors of the Board are Incumbent Directors. The term "Incumbent Directors" means members of the Board who are (I) members of the Board of the date hereof, or (II) elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but shall not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the Company);

(C) a reorganization, merger, or consolidation, in each case, with respect to which all or substantially all of the Persons that were the respective beneficial owners of the voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation do not, following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of Company resulting from such reorganization, merger, or consolidation; or

(D) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in one transaction or series of related transactions.

(E) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur because a majority or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company is acquired by (I) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (II) any Person that, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in approximately the same proportion as their ownership of stock in the Company immediately prior to such acquisition.

(3) Resignation for Good Reason. A resignation for "Good Reason" means the resignation by Executive of his/her employment within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of any one or more of the following events without Executive's written consent, provided that Executive has complied with the Good Reason Process: (a) a material reduction by the Company in Executive's Base Salary and/or Target Bonus, (b) a material reduction by the Company in Executive's benefits, (c) a reduction by the Company in Executive's title and/or a material reduction in Executive's authority and/or duties without a Sufficient Basis, or (d) the requirement by Executive's supervisor that Executive relocate more than thirty-five (35) miles from the Westborough, Massachusetts office location. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence to the contrary, it is agreed that Executive's receiving less bonus or no bonus as a result of not meeting the relevant goals for a Target Bonus is not a Good Reason.

The term "Good Reason Process" shall mean that (i) a Good Reason has occurred; (ii) Executive notifies the Company in writing of the occurrence of the Good Reason; (iii) Executive cooperates in good faith with the Company's efforts, for a period of at least 30 days following such notice, to modify Executive's employment situation in a manner reasonably acceptable to Executive and the Company; (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, one or more of the Good Reasons continues to exist for a period of 30 days following such notice and has not been modified in a manner reasonably acceptable to Executive. The term "Sufficient Basis" shall include a reassignment or reduction in duties as a result of disciplinary action by the Company based upon a serious violation of Company policy or this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company (or its Affiliate) and Executive, or Executive's failure to perform his/her duties pursuant to this Agreement.

(4) Total Disability. "Total Disability" shall mean Executive's mental or physical impairment which prevents Executive from performing the responsibilities and duties of his/her position for 180 consecutive days or six (6) months in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period. Any question as to the existence or extent of Executive's mental

or physical impairment upon which Executive and the Company cannot agree shall be resolved by a qualified independent physician who is an acknowledged expert in the area of the mental or physical impairment, selected in good faith by the Board and approved by Executive, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld. Upon the existence and required duration of such Total Disability, the Company may then terminate Executive's employment for such reason by giving Executive written notice of termination for such reason.

(5) Affiliate and Person. "Affiliate" means any Person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Person in question. As used in this definition, the term "control" means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. The term "Person" means an individual or a corporation, partnership, trust, estate, unincorporated organization, association, or other entity.

(d) Parachute Payments. The Company shall indemnify Executive, on an after tax basis, for any taxes imposed on Executive pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that result from any compensation or payments made by the Company to Executive pursuant to this Agreement.

5. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, beneficiaries, executors and legal representatives of Executive upon Executive's death, and (b) any successor of the Company. Any such successor of the Company shall be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be assignable or transferable except through a testamentary disposition or by the laws of descent and distribution upon the death of Executive. Any attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than as aforesaid) of any interest in the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation hereunder shall be null and void.

6. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications called for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if (i) delivered personally or by facsimile, (ii) one (1) day after being sent by Federal Express or a similar commercial overnight service, or (iii) three (3) days after being mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, prepaid and addressed to the parties at the following addresses, or at such other addresses as the parties may designate by written notice in the manner aforesaid:

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

8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement; the Employee Inventions and Confidentiality Agreement between Executive and the Company; Executive's acknowledgement of the Employee Handbook; the Executive's acknowledgement of the Company's Insider Trading Policy and the various Stock Option Grant Agreements between the Executive and the Company represent the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Executive concerning Executive's employment relationship with the Company, and supersede and replace any and all prior agreements and understandings concerning Executive's employment relationship with the Company.

9. Non-Binding Mediation, Arbitration and Equitable Relief.

(a) The parties agree to make a good faith attempt to resolve any dispute or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement through negotiation.

(b) In the event that any dispute or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement is not settled by the parties hereto, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute or claim by non-binding mediation in Westborough, Massachusetts to be conducted by one mediator belonging to either the American Arbitration Association or JAMS. The mediation shall be held within thirty (30) days of the request therefore, unless the parties agree to a later deadline. The costs of the mediator shall be borne by the Company.

(c) Executive and the Company each agree, to the extent permitted by law, to arbitrate before a single neutral arbitrator, in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association regarding discovery, any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity, construction, performance, breach, or termination thereof, which has not been resolved by negotiation or mediation as set forth in Sections 9(a) and 9(b), except that any dispute or claim for workers' compensation benefits or unemployment insurance benefits, shall be excluded from this agreement to arbitrate.

(d) The Company shall pay the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees and the cost of the arbitrator, and any other expense or cost that is unique to arbitration or that Executive would not be required to bear if he/she were free to bring the dispute or claim in court. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator. The

arbitration shall take place in Westborough, Massachusetts. The arbitrator shall apply Massachusetts law, without reference to rules of conflicts of law, to the resolution of any dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The award shall be subject to correction, confirmation, or vacation, as provided by any applicable Massachusetts case law setting forth the standard of judicial review of arbitration awards. Executive and the Company each understand and agree that the arbitration of any dispute or controversy listed in Section 9(c) shall be instead of a hearing or trial before a court or jury. Executive and the Company each understand that Executive and the Company are expressly waiving any and all rights to a hearing or trial before a court or jury regarding any dispute or controversy listed in Section 9(c) which they now have or which they may have in the future. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as restricting or prohibiting Executive from filing a charge or complaint with a federal, state, or local administrative agency charged with investigating and/or prosecuting such charges or complaints under any applicable federal, state, or municipal law or regulation.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, the parties may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for preliminary or interim equitable or injunctive relief, or to compel arbitration in accordance with this Section 9, without breach of this Section 9.

10. Covenants Not to Compete and Not to Solicit.

(a) Covenant Not to Compete. Upon Executive's resignation for any reason after a Change in Control has occurred or termination by the Company for any reason after a Change in Control has occurred, Executive agrees that until the end of the twelve (12) month period following the date of the termination of his/her employment, Executive will not directly engage in (whether as an employee, consultant, proprietor, shareholder, owner, partner, director or otherwise), or have any ownership interest in, or participate in the financing, operation, management, or control of, any Subject Entity that is engaged in the design, development, marketing, distribution, or sale of network management software or hardware or anti-virus network security software anywhere in the world.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions to the contrary, nothing in this Section 10(a) shall prevent Executive from being employed by, or providing services to, any division or business unit of any Subject Entity if that division or business unit is not involved in the design, development, marketing, distribution, or sale of network management software or hardware or anti-virus network security software, as long as Executive has no responsibilities or duties for any division or business unit of such Subject Entity that is involved in the design, development, marketing, distribution or sale of network management software or hardware or anti-virus

network security software. Ownership of less than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of a Subject Entity shall not constitute a violation of this Section 10(a).

(d) Forfeiture of Severance.
