• | Innovating in key product areas to extend our market leadership and differentiation. Our product development strategy is built around three key growth areas, where we are focused on innovating and delivering differentiated products and solutions: application development and IT operations (DevOps), Management Cloud, and Security across multiple platforms. |
• | Addressing shifts in market dynamics and technology. We will innovate to deliver new differentiated solutions that enable our customers to manage the challenges and capture the opportunities of disruptive technologies such as the ability to harvest big data, the shift to software-defined IT, the proliferation of mobile technologies, social access (or social credentials) authentication, and the always on, ubiquitously connected “Internet of Things.” |
• | Accelerating growth in our global customer base. We are focused on maintaining strong relationships with our core, large enterprise customer base, and will proactively target growth with these customers as well as new large enterprises we do not currently serve. In parallel, we are broadening our customer base to new buyer segments beyond the customer’s Chief Information Officer and IT department and increasingly to geographic regions we have underserved. |
• | Pursuing new business models and expanded routes to market. While our traditional on-premise software delivery remains core to our enterprise customers, we see Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and managed services as increasingly attractive for our customers. This simplifies their decision-making and accelerates the value they can derive from new solution investments. |
• | Mainframe Solutions products are designed mainly for the IBM System z mainframe platform, which runs many of our largest customers’ mission-critical applications. We help customers seamlessly manage their mainframe as part of their evolving data center through flexible management approaches, cross-platform visibility and workload portability. |
• | Enterprise Solutions products operate on non-mainframe platforms and include our DevOps, Management Cloud, and Security product groups. DevOps includes application delivery, application performance management and infrastructure management. Management Cloud helps customers optimize their investments, projects, resources and processes. Security delivers identity-centric security solutions to meet the needs of today’s mobile, cloud-connected, open enterprise. |
• | Services helps customers reach their IT and business goals by enabling the rapid implementation and adoption of our mainframe solutions and enterprise solutions. |
• | Total revenue declined 2% as a result of a decrease in subscription and maintenance revenue and a decrease in professional services revenue. The decrease in professional services revenue was primarily due to a decrease in the size and number of professional services engagements during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, including non-core engagements with government customers that are not directly related to our software product sales. The decrease in subscription and maintenance revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was primarily attributable to a decrease in prior period new product and mainframe capacity sales. We currently expect the percentage decline in professional services revenue to be greater than the percentage decline in total revenue for fiscal 2015 compared with fiscal 2014. This decline is primarily a result of the decrease in non-core professional services engagements with government customers that are not directly related to our software product sales. |
• | As a result of prior period sales under-performance, we continue to expect a year-over-year decrease in total revenue for fiscal 2015 compared with fiscal 2014 due to the high percentage of our revenue that is recognized from license agreements with customers signed in prior periods that are being recognized ratably. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange, we currently expect the year-over-year percentage decline in total revenue for fiscal 2015 compared with fiscal 2014 to be similar to the year-over-year percentage decline in total revenue for fiscal 2014 compared with fiscal 2013. |
• | Total bookings decreased 9% primarily due to a year-over-year decrease in professional services bookings and to a lesser extent, a decrease in subscription and maintenance bookings. |
• | Mainframe solutions renewals decreased year-over-year. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in enterprise solutions renewals primarily due to the composition of our renewal portfolio being more heavily weighted to enterprise solutions renewals in the quarter. |
• | Total new product sales, a subset of our total bookings, for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was consistent with the first quarter of fiscal 2014. For the first quarter of fiscal 2015, mainframe solutions new sales including capacity were down in the high-single-digit percentage range. The decrease in mainframe solutions new product sales was primarily due to the composition of the renewal portfolio. Enterprise solutions new product sales increased by a mid-single-digit percentage as a result of new sales in connection with renewals within our Platinum customer accounts and good sales execution in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region during the first quarter of fiscal 2015. |
• | We expect our fiscal 2015 renewal portfolio to decline by a high-single-digit percentage compared with fiscal 2014. Excluding the impact from a contract renewal with a large system integrator which occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we expect the value of our fiscal 2015 renewal portfolio to be consistent with the value of our fiscal 2014 renewal portfolio. For the second quarter of fiscal 2015, we expect renewals to decline compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and as a result, we expect lower new product and capacity sales in connection with renewals. |
• | Total expenses before interest and income taxes decreased compared with the year-ago period, primarily due to a decrease in cost associated with our fiscal 2014 workforce rebalancing plan (Fiscal 2014 Plan). The decrease was also attributable to the timing of selling and marketing expenses and a decrease in personnel-related costs, partially offset by an increase in product development and enhancements expenses. We expect an increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 for selling and marketing expenses, as a result of the timing of CA World ‘14. |
• | Income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was $87 million, compared with an income tax benefit for the first quarter fiscal 2014 of $122 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we recognized a net discrete tax benefit of $181 million, resulting primarily from the resolutions of uncertain tax positions from final settlement of the examination of our U.S. federal income tax returns. |
• | We expect a fiscal 2015 effective tax rate of 30%. |
• | Diluted income per common share decreased to $0.48 from $0.72, primarily due to the income tax benefit of $122 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the income tax expense of $87 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. |
• | Mainframe Solutions revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased slightly compared with the year-ago period primarily due to the decrease in prior period new product and mainframe capacity sales. The increase in operating margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared with the year-ago period was primarily the result of the timing of selling and marketing expenses and an overall decrease in personnel-related costs. |
• | Enterprise Solutions revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased compared with the year-ago period primarily due to a decrease in new product sales in the prior fiscal year. This decline in prior year new product sales was primarily due to a decrease in sales of certain mature product lines, partially offset by an increase in sales of recently acquired products. Enterprise Solutions operating margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 increased compared with the year-ago period as a result of the timing of selling and marketing expenses and an overall decrease in personnel-related costs. |
• | Services revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 decreased compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2014 primarily as a result of a decrease in the size and number of professional services engagements during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, including non-core engagements with government customers that are not directly related to our software product sales, as well as the timing of the revenue recognition for some engagements that were associated with product sales for which the revenue will be recognized on a ratable basis. We expect the percentage decline in professional services revenue to be greater than the percentage decline in total revenue for fiscal 2015 compared with fiscal 2014. Operating margin for our Services segment decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as a result of lower utilization rates for professional services personnel due to the decrease in the number of professional services engagements. |
• | Net cash provided by operating activities increased $163 million compared with the year-ago period primarily due to a decrease in income tax payments of $165 million and a decrease in vendor disbursements and payroll of $45 million. These favorable effects were partially offset by a decrease in cash collections of $44 million and an increase in payments associated with the Fiscal 2014 Plan of $10 million. |
• | In May 2014, the Company appointed Amit Chatterjee as its Executive Vice President, Enterprise Solutions and Technology Group. Mr. Chatterjee will have overall responsibility for strategy and execution across the full portfolio of Enterprise Solutions businesses, from development to commercialization. |
• | In June 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to divest arcserve. |

1. | Your salary, all applicable benefits and vesting of equity will continue through June 30, 2014 (the “Termination Date”); until the Termination Date, you will be expected to assist with transition issues, on an “as needed basis,” at the reasonable request of the Chief Human Resources Officer. |
2. | In accordance with the Agreement, paragraph 5(B), the Company will pay you a lump sum of CDN$1,400,000.00, less applicable deductions and required withholdings, no later than the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following the Termination Date, subject to and conditional upon your agreement to execute and return the enclosed release, waiver and non-competition agreement. |
3. | You will also participate in the medical and dental benefits provided by the Company to its active employees (based on the coverage you currently have) until no later than June 30, 2015. If you become eligible for similar coverage through a new employer, you will notify us to terminate this coverage. You will be responsible for the tax associated with this benefit such that the full value will be imputed as income to you for the year in which the benefit is provided. The Company will also offer you Senior Executive Outplacement Assistance for a period of six (6) months at a level commensurate with your position and through an agency chosen by the Company. You may commence the six-month program any time before June 30, 2015. You understand and agree that the Company does not assign any cash value to these services and that you do not have the option of requesting a cash payment in lieu of these services. Further, the Company will continue to reimburse you for reasonable expenses associated with financial planning and tax preparation services provided through June 30, 2015, not to exceed CDN$18,000 in total for the period from April 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, subject to your submission of invoices for such services to the Chief Human Resources Officer no later than July 31, 2015. |
4. | Additionally, you will be eligible to receive a portion of the FY15 annual cash bonus, pro-rated from April 1, 2014 to the Termination Date; the amount of such FY15 annual cash bonus will be determined based on actual performance of the Company as determined by the Compensation Committee and paid at the time such bonus would have otherwise been paid, subject to and conditional upon your agreement to execute and return the enclosed release, waiver and non-competition agreement. You will also be eligible for your FY14 annual cash bonus, based on actual performance of the Company as determined by the Compensation Committee, after the end of the FY14 performance cycle. Determinations made by the Compensation Committee of the actual performance of the Company shall be consistent with that made generally to the executive management team. |

Witness | PETER GRIFFITHS |
1. | I acknowledge that in my capacity as a senior executive of the Releasee I was privy to a wide range of confidential information. Some examples of the types of confidential information that I learned in my role include (but are not limited to): The Releasee's short-term and long-term business and technology strategy and overall strategic plan; the strategies the Releasee utilized and the strategies the Releasee was developing to compete effectively in the marketplace; information about the Releasee's growth strategy including entities it was considering acquiring or developing strategic partnerships with; information about the Releasee's sales strategies and pricing plans; information concerning existing or prospective customers; and, information about the Releasee's product roadmap. |
2. | I agree that the Releasee would be severely damaged if I disclosed confidential information that I learned during my tenure to a competitor or if I accepted a position with a competitor that involved sales or sales-related activities or the development or oversight of corporate or technology strategy. I further acknowledge that it would be impossible for me to work in a sales or strategic position with the Releasee's competitors without inevitably using and/or disclosing confidential information that I learned in my senior executive role with the Releasee. Therefore, in furtherance of my duty of loyalty to the Releasee and to prevent this harm, I promise that until June 15, 2015, I will not: |
a. | accept or act in an executive or senior position (as an owner, employee, consultant or in any other capacity) involving sales or sales-related activities, software development or the development or oversight of corporate or technology strategy with any of the following companies or their affiliates, subsidiaries or successors in interest (the “Restricted” Company or Companies): Gartner, BMC, Compuware, HP, EMC, Oracle, VMWare, ServiceNow, Solar Winds, AppDynamics or New Relic. Notwithstanding the above, I understand that after June 15, 2014, the Releasee will permit me to accept employment with a division of a Restricted Company only if (1) such division does not license or lease products or provide services that are competitive with products that are licensed or leased or services that are provided by the Releasee; and, (2) my employment at the Restricted Company will not involve or influence the strategy, software development or sales of any division of a Restricted Company that is competitive with the business of the Releasee. I understand and agree that before accepting such position with a division of a Restricted Company, I must request and receive the written approval of the Releasee’s Chief Human Resources Officer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; |
b. | solicit, call on, service or induce others to solicit, call on or service any "Customer" for the purpose of inducing it to license or lease a product or purchase a service that competes with a product or service offered by the Releasee. A "Customer," for purposes of this Agreement, is any person or business entity that licensed or leased a Releasee product or purchased a service within the 18 months preceding my Termination Date; |
c. | solicit, call on, or induce others to solicit or call on, any "Prospective Customer" for the purpose of inducing it to license or lease a product or purchase a service which competes with a product or service offered by the Releasee. A "Prospective Customer," for purposes of this Agreement, is any person or business entity that I solicited (whether directly or through another employee or agent of the Releasee at my direction) on behalf of the Releasee anytime within the 9 months preceding my Termination Date; and, |
d. | solicit or encourage or endeavor to cause, directly or indirectly, any employee or contractor of the Releasee to leave his or her employment or placement with the Releasee, or breach his or her Confidentiality Agreement or employment or placement agreement with the Releasee. |
3. | This Non-Competition Agreement shall be governed by and, for all purposes, construed in accordance with the laws of Ontario, Canada. |
4. | This Non-Competition Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by Releasee, its successors and assigns. I understand and agree that this Non-Competition Agreement is personal to me and I may not assign it. |
5. | If the Releasee is successful in a suit or proceeding to enforce any of the terms of this Non-Competition Agreement, I will pay the Releasee’s costs of bringing such suit or proceeding, including its reasonable attorney’s fees and litigation expenses (including expert witness and deposition expenses). |

1. | Grant of Restricted Shares. This grant of Restricted Stock is made pursuant to Section 4.6 of the Plan and is intended to be a Qualified Performance Award as defined in the Plan, except that such Restricted Stock shall not be subject to discretion of the Committee to make any negative adjustment to such Restricted Stock under Section 4.6(b)(iii) of the Plan.

The gain pursuant to this Section 6 shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the Fair Market Value, on the applicable vesting date, of the shares of Common Stock deemed delivered to the Participant in respect of the Affected Restricted Stock (including any dividends and distributions thereon and any shares withheld to cover any portion of the tax withholding obligations). It will be at the Company's discretion as to whether shares of Common Stock or cash equal to the gain realized in respect of the Affected Restricted Stock shall be returned to the Company and such return or reimbursement shall be made by the Participant immediately after demand by the Company, but not later than ten days following such demand.

This Agreement will be governed by the internal substantive laws, and not the choice of law rules, of the State of New York and construed accordingly, to the extent not superseded by applicable federal law. If any provision of the Agreement is held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Agreement or part thereof, each of which will remain in full force and effect. Any action related to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts of the State of New York, County of Suffolk. The Participant will accept service of process as provided under New York law or by registered mail, return receipt requested, and waive any objection based upon forum non conveniens or as to personal jurisdiction over the Participant in federal or state courts of the State of New York, County of Suffolk. The choice of forum set forth in this Section 10 shall not be deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment obtained in such forum in any other jurisdiction. |

12. | Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan and, to the extent applicable to the Participant, any written employment agreement between the Participant and the Company, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. |
1. | Prohibited Activities. The Participant recognizes that the Company is engaged in a highly competitive business and that its customer, employee, licensee, supplier and financial relationships are of a highly sensitive nature. As a reasonable means to protect the Company's Confidential Information (as defined in the subclause (a) below), investment, relationships, and goodwill, and in consideration for this Restricted Stock grant, the Participant agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Participant will not, either during his or her employment or for a period of 12 months following the termination of his or her employment (or such longer period specified below) for any reason engage in any of the following "Prohibited Activities": |
(a) | Engage in any business activity in a Restricted Area that competes with the business activities of the Company and its corporate affiliates about which Participant either had (i) a job responsibility to promote, or (ii) access to Confidential Information. "Restricted Area" for purposes of this Agreement, means a geographic area that the Participant served or covered on behalf of the Company at any time within the 18 months preceding the end of his or her employment with the Company. "Confidential Information," for the purposes of this Agreement, means information, including information that is conceived or developed by the Participant that is not generally known to the public and that is used by the Company in connection with its business.

(c) | Solicit, call on, or induce others to solicit or call on, any "Prospective Customer" for the purpose of inducing it to license or lease a product or provide it with services which compete with a product or service offered by the Company. A "Prospective Customer," for purposes of this Agreement, is any person or business entity that the Participant solicited or called on (whether directly or through another Company agent at the Participant's direction) on behalf of the Company anytime within the 12 months preceding the end of the Participant's employment with the Company. |
(d) | Directly or indirectly through others, hire any employee or contractor of the Company, or solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any Company employee or contractor to leave the Company for any reason. |
(e) | For any period following the termination of the Participant's employment, violate a non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disclosure covenant or agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Related Company (including, without limitation, the Employment and Confidentiality Agreement signed at or around the time of the Participant's hire). |
2. | Tolling of Covenants in the Event of Breach. In the event the Participant engages in any of the Prohibited Activities, the time period of the violated covenant(s) shall be tolled throughout the duration of any violation and shall continue until the Participant has complied with such covenant(s) for a period of 12 consecutive full months. |
3. | Injunction. The Participant acknowledges that, by virtue of the Participant's employment with the Company, the Participant will have access to Confidential Information of the Company, the disclosure of which will irreparably harm the Company. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company will suffer irreparable harm if the Participant breaches any of the Participant's obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, the Participant agrees that the Company will be entitled, in addition to its other rights, to enforce the Participant's obligations through an injunction or decree of specific performance from a court having proper jurisdiction. Any claims the Participant may assert against the Company shall not constitute a defense in any injunction action brought by the Company to force the Participant to keep the promises the Participant made in this Agreement. |
4. | Authorization to Modify Restrictions. The Participant agrees that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable. However, if any court having proper jurisdiction holds a particular restriction to be unreasonable, that restriction shall be modified only to the extent necessary in the court's opinion to make it reasonable and the remaining provisions of this Agreement including without limitation Appendix A shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect. The other provisions of this Agreement are likewise severable. |
5. | General. |
(a) | The Participant understands and agrees that, if the Company is successful in a suit or proceeding to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement, the Participant will pay the Company's costs of bringing such suit or proceeding, including its reasonable attorney's fees and litigation expenses (including expert witness and deposition expenses). |
(b) | This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by the Company, its successors and assigns. This Agreement is personal to the Participant and the Participant may not assign it. |
(c) | The Company’s rights under this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights it may have under any other Agreement with Participant. |
(d) | Any failure to enforce the terms of this Agreement with any other employee of the Company shall not be deemed a waiver by the Company to enforce its rights under this Agreement. Further, any waiver by the Company of any breach by the Participant of any provision of this Agreement, shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach hereof. |

The Option will vest with respect to 34% of the underlying shares of Common Stock on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and with respect to an additional 33% of the underlying shares of Common Stock on each of the second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date. Except as provided in Section 9 of this Agreement, the Option will expire and will not be exercisable after ten years from Grant Date (the "Expiration Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may extend the term of the Option to reflect certain securities trading blackouts that the Company may impose in order to comply with applicable laws. |
3. | Timing of Grant Acceptance. Participant must electronically accept his/her grant of Option within 90 days from the Grant Date (the “Grant Acceptance Date”) or he/she will forfeit this Option. A Participant who forfeits his/her Option for failure to accept the award by the Grant Acceptance Date has no right of ownership or other rights as stockholder under this Option and may not be eligible for future stock option awards or other equity awards granted by the Company. |
4. | Exercise of Option. To the extent that the Option is exercisable, the Optionee may exercise the Option by delivering to the Company or its agent a properly executed exercise notice on a form approved by the Committee. The Company will not permit the exercise of the Option if the Company |
5. | Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the exercise price of the Option may be made in cash or by certified check, bank draft, wire transfer or postal or express money order or any other form of consideration approved by the Committee. Alternatively, payment of the exercise price may be made by (a) delivering to the Company, or its agent, a properly executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale proceeds with respect to the portion of the shares to be acquired upon exercise having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the sum of the applicable portion of the exercise price being so paid and appropriate tax withholding, (b) tendering (actually or by attestation) to the Company previously acquired Shares that have been held by the Optionee for at least six months having a Fair Market Value on the date prior to the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being paid, or (c) any combination of the foregoing. Payment of the exercise price of the Option must be made in full for all shares for which the Option is exercised at the time of such exercise, and no shares will be delivered until such payment is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a form of payment will not be available if the Company determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such form of payment could violate any law or regulation. |
6. | Delivery of Shares. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares underlying the Option unless and until the Company is satisfied that (a) proper arrangements have been made with the Company for the payment of any applicable tax withholding obligations, (b) all requirements of all applicable laws have been met, (c) in the event the outstanding Common Stock is at the time listed upon any stock exchange, the shares to be delivered have been listed, or authorized to be listed, upon official notice of issuance upon the exchanges where it is listed, and (d) all legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of the shares have been approved by counsel of the Company. The Optionee will have no rights of a stockholder until the shares are actually delivered to the Optionee. Common Stock to be delivered upon the exercise of the Option may constitute an original issue of authorized stock or may consist of treasury stock. |
7. | Transferability of Option. Except as provided below, the Option may not be transferred by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and during the Optionee's lifetime the Option may be exercised only by the Optionee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option may be transferred by the Optionee to his or her family members or to one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members or to one or more limited partnerships in which such family members are the only partners; provided that (a) the Optionee does not receive any consideration for such transfer, (b) written notice of any proposed transfer and the details thereof will have been furnished to the Committee at least three days in advance of such transfer, and (c) the Committee consents to the transfer in writing. If the Option is transferred pursuant to this provision, it will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to such Option immediately prior to transfer and the Option may be exercised by the transferee only to the same extent that the option |
8. | Death or Termination of Employment Due to Disability. If the Optionee dies or incurs a Termination of Employment due to Disability while employed by or providing services to the Company, any portion of the Option that has not become exercisable as of the date of the Optionee's death or Termination of Employment due to Disability will become exercisable in full and will remain exercisable (a) in the case of the Optionee's death, by the estate of the deceased Optionee or the person given authority to exercise the Option by the Optionee's will or by operation of law for a period of one year following the Optionee's death, but not later than the expiration date of the Option; and (b) in the case of the Optionee's Termination of Employment or Disability, by the Optionee for a period of one year following the Optionee's Termination of Employment due to Disability, but not later than the Expiration Date. |
9. | Other Termination of Employment |
(a) | Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, upon the Retirement of the Optionee, the portion of the Option that is not exercisable as of the date of such Retirement will be forfeited as of the date of such Retirement and the portion of the Option that is exercisable as of the date of such Retirement must be exercised, if at all, within one year after the date of such Retirement, but in no event after the Expiration Date. |
(b) | Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan or in an employment agreement between the Optionee and the Company, upon the Optionee's Termination of Employment, for reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, the portion of the Option that is not exercisable as of the Optionee's Termination of Employment will be forfeited as of the Optionee's Termination of Employment and the portion of the Option that is exercisable as of the Optionee's Termination of Employment must be exercised, if at all, within 90 days after such Termination of Employment but in no event later than the Expiration Date. |
10. | Forfeiture and Recovery and Reimbursement of Option Gain. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, the Option will be terminated and become null and void without consideration if the Optionee, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, engages in any Prohibited Activities (as defined in Appendix A). |
11. | Changes In Stock. The Option is subject to the adjustment provisions set forth in Sections 4.11, 5.3 and 5.4 of the Plan. |
12. | Tax Withholding. As a condition to the delivery of any shares pursuant to the exercise of the Option, Optionee is required to pay the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations, which the Committee, may in its discretion, determine to accept payment of tax withholding by the following methods described below: |
(a) | Company withholds shares that would otherwise be issued on exercise having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the tax withholding obligations being so paid. |
(b) | through any of the exercise price payment methods described in Section 5 of this Agreement; or |
(c) | any other method specified in Section 7.2 of the Plan that is necessary to satisfy Optionee’s withholding obligation in accordance with applicable law. |
13. | No Guarantee of Employment or Service. The Option will not obligate the Company or any Related Company to retain the Optionee in its employ or service for any period. |
14. | Governing Law; Severability; Choice of Law. This Agreement will be governed by the internal substantive laws, and not the choice of law rules, of the State of New York and construed accordingly, to the extent not superseded by applicable federal law. If any provision of the Agreement is held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Agreement or part thereof, each of which will remain in full force and effect. Any action related to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts of the State of New York, County of Suffolk. The Optionee will accept service of process as provided under New York law or by registered mail, return receipt requested, and waive any objection based upon forum non conveniens or as to personal jurisdiction over the Optionee in federal or state courts of the State of New York, County of Suffolk. The choice of forum set forth in this Section 14 shall not be deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment obtained in such forum in any other jurisdiction. |
15. | Acceptance and Acknowledgment. By accepting this Agreement, the Optionee: |
(a) | accepts and acknowledges he or she must electronically accept this Option award as specified in Section 3 of this Agreement or this award will be forfeited; |
(b) | upon electronic acceptance of this Option accepts and acknowledges receipts of the Option which has been issued to the Optionee under the terms and conditions of the Plan; |
(c) | acknowledges and confirms the Optionee's acceptance and agreement to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal information about the Optionee, |
(d) | acknowledges and confirms the Optionee's consent to receive electronically this Agreement, the Plan and the related Prospectus and any other Plan documents that the Company is required to deliver; |
(e) | acknowledges that a copy of the Plan and the related Prospectus is posted on the Company's website and that the Optionee has access to such documents; |
(f) | agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan (including, but not limited to, Section 7.5 of the Plan, Section 10 of this Agreement and Appendix A to this Agreement), as may be amended from time to time; |
(g) | agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions and interpretations of the Committee upon any questions related to the Plan or this Agreement; |
(h) | understands that neither Plan nor this Agreement gives the Optionee any right to employment or service with the Company or any Related Company and that the Option is not part of the Optionee's normal or expected compensation, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Optionee's employer; |
(i) | understands and acknowledges that the grant of the Option is expressly conditioned on the Optionee's adherence to the terms of the applicable policies and procedures of the Company and its Related Companies. |
(j) | understands and acknowledges that the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement; |
(k) | understands and acknowledges that the grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options, even if Options have been granted repeatedly in the past; |
(l) | all decisions with respect to future Options, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; |
(m) | the Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan; |
(n) | the Option is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and which is outside the scope of the Optionee's employment contract, if any; |
(o) | in the event that the Optionee is not an employee of the Company, the grant of the Option will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company; and furthermore, the grant of the Option will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Optionee’s employer or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; |
(p) | the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; |
(q) | if the Optionee exercises the Option and obtains shares of Common Stock, the value of those shares may increase or decrease in value; and |
(r) | in consideration of the grant of the Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the Option or diminution in value of the Option or shares acquired through the exercise of the Option resulting from termination of the Optionee's employment by the Company or his employer, and the Optionee irrevocably releases the Company and his employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, the Optionee will be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim. |
(s) | the parties to this agreement have expressly required that this Agreement and all documents and notices relating hereto be drafted in English. Les parties aux présentes ont expressément exigé que la présente convention et tous les documents et avis qui y sont afférents soient rédigés en anglais. |
(t) | in the event of termination of the Optionee’s employment, the Optionee’s right to vest in the Option under the Plan will terminate effective as of the date that the Optionee is no longer actively employed. |
16. | Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan and, to the extent applicable to the Optionee, any written employment agreement between the Optionee and the Company, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. |
1. | Prohibited Activities. The Optionee recognizes that the Company is engaged in a highly competitive business and that its customer, employee, licensee, supplier and financial relationships are of a highly sensitive nature. As a reasonable means to protect the Company's Confidential Information (as defined in the subclause (a) below), investment, relationships, and goodwill, and in consideration for the Option grant, the Optionee agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Optionee will not, either during his or her employment or for a period of 12 months following the termination of his or her employment (or such longer period specified below) for any reason engage in any of the following "Prohibited Activities": |
(a) | Engage in any business activity in a Restricted Area that competes with the business activities of the Company and its corporate affiliates about which Optionee either had (i) a job responsibility to promote, or (ii) access to Confidential Information. "Restricted Area" for purposes of this Agreement, means a geographic area that the Optionee served or covered on behalf of the Company at any time within the 18 months preceding the end of his or her employment with the Company. "Confidential Information," for the purposes of this Agreement, means information, including information that is conceived or developed by the Optionee that is not generally known to the public and that is used by the Company in connection with its business. By way of example, the term "Confidential Information" would include: trade secrets; processes; formulas; research data; program documentation; algorithms; source codes; object codes; know-how; improvements; inventions; techniques; training materials and methods; product information; corporate strategy; sales forecast and pipeline information; research and development; plans or strategies for marketing and pricing; and information concerning existing or potential customers, partners, or vendors. The Optionee understands that this list is not all-inclusive and merely serves as examples of the types of information that falls within the definition of Confidential Information. |
(b) | Solicit, call on, service or induce others to solicit, call on or service any "Customer" for the purpose of inducing it to license or lease a product or provide it with services that compete with a product or service offered by the Company. A "Customer," for purposes of this Agreement, means any person or business entity that licensed or leased a Company product or obtained Company services within the 18 months preceding the end of the Optionee's employment with the Company and that the Optionee had solicited, called on, or served on the Company's behalf anytime within that 18-month time period. |
(c) | Solicit, call on, or induce others to solicit or call on, any "Prospective Customer" for the purpose of inducing it to license or lease a product or provide it with services which compete with a product or service offered by the Company. A "Prospective Customer," for purposes of this Agreement, is any person or business entity that the Optionee solicited or called on (whether directly or through another Company agent at the Optionee's direction) on behalf of the Company anytime within the 12 months preceding the end of the Optionee's employment with the Company. |
(d) | Directly or indirectly through others, hire any employee or contractor of the Company, or solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any Company employee or contractor to leave the Company for any reason. |
(e) | For any period following the termination of the Optionee's employment, violate a non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disclosure covenant or agreement between the Optionee and the Company or any Related Company (including, without limitation, the Employment and Confidentiality Agreement signed at or around the time of the Optionee's hire). |
2. | Tolling of Covenants in the Event of Breach. In the event the Optionee engages in any of the Prohibited Activities, the time period of the violated covenant(s) shall be tolled throughout the duration of any violation and shall continue until the Optionee has complied with such covenant(s) for a period of 12 consecutive full months. |
3. | Injunction. The Optionee acknowledges that, by virtue of the Optionee's employment with the Company, the Optionee will have access to Confidential Information of the Company, the disclosure of which will irreparably harm the Company. The Optionee further acknowledges that the Company will suffer irreparable harm if the Optionee breaches any of the Optionee's obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, the Optionee agrees that the Company will be entitled, in addition to its other rights, to enforce the Optionee's obligations through an injunction or decree of specific performance from a court having proper jurisdiction. Any claims the Optionee may assert against the Company shall not constitute a defense in any injunction action brought by the Company to force the Optionee to keep the promises the Optionee made in this Agreement. |
4. | Authorization to Modify Restrictions. The Optionee agrees that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable. However, if any court having proper jurisdiction holds a particular restriction to be unreasonable, that restriction shall be modified only to the extent necessary in the court's opinion to make it reasonable and the remaining provisions of this Agreement including without limitation Appendix A shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect. The other provisions of this Agreement are likewise severable. |
5. | General. |
(a) | The Optionee understands and agrees that, if the Company is successful in a suit or proceeding to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement, the Optionee will pay the Company's costs of bringing such suit or proceeding, including its reasonable attorney's fees and litigation expenses (including expert witness and deposition expenses). |
(b) | This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and may be enforced by the Company, its successors and assigns. Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, this Agreement is personal to the Optionee and the Optionee may not assign it. |
(c) | The Company’s rights under this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights it may have under any other Agreement with Optionee. |
(d) | Any failure to enforce the terms of this Agreement with any other employee of the Company shall not be deemed a waiver by the Company to enforce its rights under this Agreement. Further, any waiver by the Company of any breach by the Optionee of any provision of this Agreement, shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach hereof. |
