Upon a termination of his employment without cause (as defined in the agreement) or his resignation for good reason (as defined in the agreement), subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company and compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in the Employment Agreement: (i) the Company will continue to pay Mr. Hanrahan his annual base salary for one year following such termination or resignation, (ii) all Company equity awards (including any cliff-vesting awards, which will be prorated as though such awards had an annual vesting schedule) held by him on the date of such termination or resignation that would have otherwise vested during the one-year period following such date will vest as of such date (subject to, in the case of performance-based awards, the satisfaction of the applicable performance conditions).

 

Pursuant to his Employment Agreement, Mr. Hanrahan is bound by covenants not to: (i) compete with the Company’s businesses during the term of his employment and for twenty-four months thereafter and (ii) solicit Company’s employees or business partners during the term of his employment and for twelve months thereafter.
