On
December 31, 2008, the Registrant entered into a Separation and General Release
Agreement (the "
Separation
Agreement
") with Dale Zimmerman, the Registrant's Vice President,
Worldwide Marketing, and a named executive officer in the Registrant's proxy
statement for its 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  The Registrant
and Mr. Zimmerman have agreed that, beginning January 1,
2009,  Mr. Zimmerman would be relieved of his regular duties and,
during a separation period from January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, or such
earlier date on which Mr. Zimmerman chooses to terminate his employment (the
"
Separation
Period
"), he would provide services to the Registrant on an as needed
basis at the option of the Registrant, unless earlier terminated for
cause.  Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, subject to
Mr. Zimmerman's delivery to the Registrant of a signed general release of
claims in favor of the Registrant, Mr. Zimmerman will continue to receive
payment of his current base salary, will continue to vest in his existing equity
awards and will be paid his COBRA insurance premiums until the conclusion of the
Separation Period.
Under the
terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Zimmerman has agreed to execute and
deliver a second general release of claims in favor of the Registrant on or
after the conclusion of the Separation Period.  In consideration of
the second general release of claims, Mr. Zimmerman will receive payment for the
paid time off (PTO) that Mr. Zimmerman would have accrued during the Separation
Period had he remained on active, full time employment.  In the event
Mr. Zimmerman terminates the Separation Agreement prior to the conclusion of the
Separation Period, Mr. Zimmerman would receive additional consideration for the
second general release of claims equal to his base salary and his COBRA
insurance premiums for the remainder of the Separation Period, and he would no
longer be required to provide services to the Registrant.
The
Separation Agreement contains certain other provisions, including agreements by
Mr. Zimmerman to continue to comply with the terms of his Employee Inventions
and Confidentiality Agreement and to return all of the Registrant's property and
confidential and proprietary information in his possession to Registrant at the
conclusion of the Separation Period and not to solicit any of the Registrant's
employees for a period of eighteen months and not to interfere in any customer
or client relationship.
