These excerpts taken from the FL 10-K filed Mar 27, 2006.

By accepting this Option 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.
