Re:Separation Agreement

 

Dear Laurent:

 

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Agreement”) is to confirm your resignation from Butterfly Network, Inc. (the “Company”) as its Chief Executive Officer as of January 23, 2021, and to set forth the terms of your resignation and separation from Company and Insperity PEO Services, L.P. (“Insperity”). Payment of the Separation Benefits described below is contingent on your agreement to and compliance with the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date (as defined below).

 

1.Separation of Employment. You resigned your employment with Company effective as of January 23, 2021 (the “Separation Date”). You acknowledge and agree that from and after the Separation Date, you will not represent yourself as an employee or agent of Company or Insperity. As of the Separation Date, you shall have been deemed to have resigned from each and every office, position or responsibility in which you served for Company and each of its affiliates, subsidiaries or divisions, including as a director of Company.

 

2.Company Equity. You were granted options (each, an “Option”) to purchase shares of Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of the following four option agreements:

 

·         Option No. 540-ISO Stock Option Grant Notice and Stock Option Agreement, dated April 23, 2020 (the “540-ISO Award”);

·         Option No. 540-NQO Stock Option Grant Notice and Stock Option Agreement, dated April 23, 2020 (the “540-NQO Award”);

·         Option No. 541 Stock Option Grant Notice and Stock Option Agreement, dated April 23, 2020 (the “541 Award”); and

·         Option No. 542 Stock Option Grant Notice and Stock Option Agreement, dated April 23, 2020 (the “542 Award”).

 

Each of the forgoing Options is subject to the terms of Company’s 2012 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Subject to Section 5, as of the Separation Date, you acknowledge and agree that the table below sets forth a complete and accurate list of Options as of the Separation Date:

 

Issuing Company Grant Number Grant Date # of Shares Granted # of Shares Vested Type of Option
Butterfly Network, Inc. 540-ISO April 23, 2020 55,000 0 Time-Based
Butterfly Network, Inc. 540-NQO April 23, 2020 4,295,000 0 Time-Based
Butterfly Network, Inc. 541 April 23, 2020 1,635,000 0 Performance-Based
Butterfly Network, Inc. 542 April 23, 2020 1,635,000 0 Performance-Based

 

 

 

 

You acknowledge and agree that as of the Separation Date, you are not vested in any of the shares under the 540-ISO Award or the 540-NQO Award and, subject to Section 5, all unvested shares subject to the 540-ISO Award and the 540 NQO Award will be forfeited as of the Separation Date. You and the Company acknowledge that the 541 Award and the 542 Award will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms through April 23, 2021, the three month period following the Separation Agreement. You further acknowledge that: (a) the Company expects to enter into the transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement by and among Longview Acquisition Corp. (“Parent”), a Delaware corporation, Clay Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub"), and the Company (as amended from time to time, the "Business Combination Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company as the surviving company in the merger and (ii) each share of the Company's capital stock (other than shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock) will automatically be converted into the right to receive shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Parent, as set forth in, and subject to, the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”); (b) the Business Combination is not and will not result in a “2X Financing” (as that term is defined in the 541 Award) and is not and will not result in a “5X Financing” (as that term is defined in the 542 Award); (c) none of the shares subject to the 541 Award or the 542 Award will vest in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination or the surviving company’s shares becoming publicly tradable securities as a result of the Business Transaction; and (d) if a 2X Financing or a 5X Financing does not occur by April 23, 2021, neither the 541 Award or the 542 Award will vest and you will forfeit both the 541 Award and the 542 Award in total to the Company on such date.

 

3.Affiliate Equity. Your offer letter from Company dated December 18, 2019 (the “Offer Letter”) provided that, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Hyperfine Research, Inc. (“Hyperfine”), you would receive an option to acquire up to 350,000 shares of common stock (the “Hyperfine Option”) and, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of 4Bionics, LLC (“4Bionics”), you would receive 409,000 Incentive Units (the “4Bionics Unit Award”), in each case subject to vesting based on your continued employment with Company. You and Company agree that you have not satisfied as of the Separation Date any of the vesting or forfeiture requirements on which the foregoing equity awards would have been predicated; and you therefore do not have any rights to hold or acquire any shares of common stock of Hyperfine or any Incentive Units of 4Bionics.

 

4.Relocation Payment. You will promptly repay to Company the net amount that you received after withholding from the December 15, 2020 $161,864.70 relocation bonus. Once repaid, Company will deduct from your 2020 W-2 wages the gross amount of $161,864.70.

 

5.Separation Benefits. In exchange for the promises and release of claims contained herein, Company shall provide you with the following (the “Separation Benefits”):

 

(a)A cash severance amount equal to $900,000 (the “Severance”), such amount representing one (1) year of your base salary and a bonus equal to fifty-percent (50%) of your base salary. The Severance, less applicable withholdings, will be paid on Company’s first payroll pay date occurring on or after the Effective Date.

 

(b)Notwithstanding the terms of the Offer Letter, Company will also pay you an amount equal to $150,000, such amount representing the bonus payable for 2020 (the “2020 Bonus”). The 2020 Bonus will be paid in a lump sum payment in February 2021, less all applicable federal, state, local and other legally required or authorized deductions. You acknowledge that the Company has the sole obligation to pay the amounts due under Sections 5(a) and (b), and that Insperity has no obligation to pay the additional compensation, even though the payments may be processed through Insperity.

 

 2 

 

 

(c)Notwithstanding anything in any Option Agreement or Plan to the contrary: (x) the number of shares subject to the 540-ISO Award and the 540-NQO Award that would have vested if you had remain employed through the one (1) year anniversary of the Separation Date shall vest as of the Effective Date as set forth in the chart below (the “Vested Options”); (y) the Vested Options shall remain exercisable until the five (5) year anniversary of the Separation Date; and (z) except as modified in this Section, the 540-ISO Award and the 540-NQO Awards shall survive the execution of this Agreement continue to be governed by the terms of the applicable Stock Option Agreement and the Plan:

 

Issuing Company Grant Number Grant Date # of Shares Granted # of Shares Vested Type of Option
Butterfly Network, Inc. 540-ISO April 23, 2020 55,000 19,244 Time-Based
Butterfly Network, Inc. 540-NQO April 23, 2020 4,295,000 1,503,247 Time-Based

 

You acknowledge that except for the Separation Benefits, your final wages, and any accrued but unused vacation (each of which shall be paid to you in accordance with Company’s regular payroll practices and applicable law), you are not now and shall not in the future be entitled to any other compensation from Company or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or divisions, without limitation, other wages, commissions, bonuses, vacation pay, holiday pay, equity, units, stock, stock options, carve out, paid time off or any other form of compensation or benefit.

 

6.COBRA Benefits. Regardless of whether you sign the Agreement, you shall have the right to elect to continue your medical and dental benefits pursuant to the terms and conditions of COBRA. Your eligibility for benefits under COBRA, the amount of such benefits, and the terms and conditions of such benefits, shall be determined by COBRA statutory and regulatory guidelines. Subject to your timely election of continuation coverage under COBRA and your signing this Agreement, Company will reimburse you or pay on your behalf the monthly premium payable to continue your and your eligible dependents’ participation in the Company’s group health plan for the twelve month period following the Separation Date, provided that if you become eligible for coverage under a subsequent employer’s group health plan, the Company’s obligation to reimburse you under this Section will immediately terminate. If the reimbursement of any COBRA premiums would violate the nondiscrimination rules or cause the reimbursement of claims to be taxable under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, together with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Act”) or Section 105(h) of the Code, Company-paid premiums will be treated as taxable payments and be subject to imputed income tax treatment to the extent necessary to eliminate any discriminatory treatment or taxation under the Act or Section 105(h) of the Code.

 

7.Unemployment Benefits. By virtue of your separation of employment, you shall be entitled to apply for unemployment benefits. The determination of your eligibility for such benefits (and the amount of benefits to which you may be entitled) shall be made by the appropriate state agency pursuant to applicable state law. Company agrees that it shall not contest any claim for unemployment benefits by you. Company, of course, shall not be required to falsify any information.

 

8.Return of Property, Confidentiality, Non-Disparagement, and Related Matters. You expressly acknowledge and agree to the following:

 

(a)You have returned to Company all documents (and any copies, duplicates, or replicas thereof), and property, including, without limitation, any laptop computer that was provided to you by Company or any of its affiliates, including 4-Combinator, Inc., 4Catalyzer Corporation, Company’s and their respective divisions, affiliates, parents, subsidiaries and related entities, and all of its and their owners, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, employees, trustees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Company Affiliates”) during your employment with Company, and that you will abide by any and all common law and/or statutory obligations relating to protection and non-disclosure of Company’s and Company Affiliates’ trade secrets and/or confidential and proprietary documents and information.

 

 3 

 

 

(b)In the event that you receive an order, subpoena, request, or demand for disclosure of Company’s or a Company Affiliate’s trade secrets and/or confidential and proprietary documents and information from any court or governmental agency, or from a party to any litigation or administrative proceeding, unless prohibited by a court or government agency order, you shall as soon as reasonably possible and prior to disclosure notify Company of the same, in order to provide Company with the opportunity to assert its or a Company Affiliate’s respective interests in addressing or opposing such order, subpoena, request, or demand.

 

(c)You agree that all information relating in any way to this Agreement, including the terms and amount of financial consideration provided for in this Agreement, shall be held confidential by you and shall not be publicized or disclosed to any person (other than an immediate family member, legal counsel or financial advisor, provided that any such individual to whom disclosure is made agrees to be bound by these confidentiality obligations), business entity or government agency (except as mandated by state or federal law).

 

(d)You previously executed a Non-Competition, Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Agreement dated December 27, 2019 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). The Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect and survives the termination of your employment with Company. You will honor and abide by the terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

 

(e)You will not make any statements that are disparaging about, or adverse to, the interests or business of Company or any Company Affiliate (including their respective officers, directors, employees, and direct or indirect shareholders) including, without limitation, any statements that disparage any person, product, service, finances, financial condition, capability or any other aspect of the business of Company or any Company Affiliate (including its officers, directors, employees, and direct or indirect shareholders). You further agree not to make any statements that are disparaging about, or adverse to, the interests or business of Glenview Capital Management, LLC, its subsidiaries and affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, and direct or indirect members or equity holders (“Glenview”). You also agree that through the closing date of the Business Combination and for 90 days thereafter, you will not make any public media statements with respect to the Business Combination, the parties to the Business Combination or your separation of employment without the prior approval of Company in any manner whatsoever (including through the use of any social networking sites, blogs, forums or any similar medium, including in response to inquiries from other users of such medium) whether directly or indirectly through a third party (and Company hereby approves statements that are consistent with the public statements made by Company).

 

(f)Your breach of any of the foregoing covenants by you shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall relieve Company of any further obligations hereunder and, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy available to Company, shall entitle Company to recover any Separation Benefits already paid or provided to you pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement and result in the immediate forfeiture and termination of the Vested Options.

 

 4 

 

 

(g)Company and Parent will not make in any public press statement, and Company will cause each of Company’s directors and executive officers and Parent’s directors and named executive officers not to make, any statements that are disparaging about, or adverse to you.

The Lock-Up Period means: the period ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days after the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”); and (ii) subsequent to the Closing, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading days after the Closing or (y) the date on which Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of Company’s public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

You hereby represent and warrant that you now have and for the duration of the Lock-up Period, will continue to have good and marketable title to the Restricted Securities, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims that could impact your ability to comply with the foregoing restrictions.

13.Modification; Waiver; Severability. No variations or modifications hereof shall be deemed valid unless reduced to writing and signed by the parties hereto. The failure of Company to seek enforcement of any provision of this Agreement in any instance or for any period of time shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or of Company’s right to seek enforcement of such provision in the future. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if for any reason any part hereof shall be found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be enforced in full.

 

14.Choice of Law and Venue; Jury Waiver.
