| Non-Competition |
|
[Optional provision, as determined by the Compensation and
Management Resources Committee or the Stock Option Plan Sub-Committee] |
By accepting this Option, as provided below, you agree that during the
“Non-Competition Period” you will not engage in “Competition” with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, divisions, or affiliates
(the “Control Group”).
As used herein, “Competition” means:
(i) participating, directly or indirectly, as an
individual proprietor, stockholder, officer, employee, director, joint venturer, investor, lender, or in any capacity whatsoever within the United
States of America or in any other country where any of your former employing members of the Control Group does business, in (A) a business in
competition with the retail, catalog, or on-line sale of athletic footwear, athletic apparel and sporting goods conducted by the Control Group
(the
“Athletic Business”), or (B) a business that in the prior fiscal year
supplied product to the Control Group for the Athletic Business having a value of $20 million or more at cost to the Control Group; provided, however,
that such participation shall not include (X) the mere ownership of not more than 1 percent of the total outstanding stock of a publicly held company;
(Y) the performance of services for any enterprise to the extent such services are not performed, directly or indirectly, for a business in competition
with the Athletic Business or for a business which supplies product to the Control Group for the Athletic Business; or (Z) any activity engaged in with
the prior written approval of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; or
(ii)intentionally recruiting, soliciting or
inducing, any employee or employees of the Control Group to terminate their employment with, or otherwise cease their relationship with the former
employing members of the Control Group where such employee or employees do in fact so terminate their employment.
As used herein, “Non-Competition” Period means (i) the period commencing
and ending on
, or any part thereof, during which you are employed by the Control
Group and (ii) if your employment with the Control Group terminates for any reason during such period, the one-year period commencing on the date your
employment with the Control Group terminates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Non-Competition Period shall not extend beyond the date your
employment with the Control Group terminates if such termination of employment occurs following a “Change in Control” as defined in
Attachment A hereto.
You agree that the breach by you of the provisions included herein under the
heading “Non-Competition” (the “Non-Competition Provision”) would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which
the Company would have no adequate remedy at law. You therefore agree that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach of the Non-Competition
Provision, the Company shall be entitled to (i) an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach, threatened breach, or continued
breach, including by any and all persons acting for or with you, without having to prove damages and (ii) any other remedies to which the Company may
be entitled at law or in equity. The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or
threatened breach of the Non-Competition Provision, including, but not limited to, recovery of damages. In addition, in the event of your breach of the
Non-Competition Provision, any stock options covered by this Nonstatutory Stock Option Award Agreement (“Award Agreement”) that are then
unexercised (whether or not vested) shall be immediately cancelled. You and the Company further agree that the Non-Competition Provision is reasonable
and that the Company would not have granted the stock option provided for in this Award Agreement but for the inclusion of the Non-Competition
Provision herein. If any provision of the Non-Competition Provision is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it
extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend over
the maximum period of time, range of activities, or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable. The validity, construction, and performance of
the Non-Competition Provision shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. For purposes
of the Non-Competition Provision, you and the Company consent to the jurisdiction of state and federal courts in New York County.
