This excerpt taken from the NKE DEF 14A filed Jul 27, 2009. Payments Under Noncompetition Agreements We have an agreement with each of Mr. Parker and Mr. Denson that contains a covenant not to compete that extends for two years following the termination of the officers employment with us. Each agreement provides that if the officers employment is terminated by us, we will make monthly payments to him during the two-year noncompetition period in an amount equal to one-twelfth of his then current annual salary and target Performance Sharing Plan bonus (Annual Nike Income). Each agreement provides further that if the officer voluntarily resigns, we will make monthly payments to him during the two-year noncompetition period in an amount equal to one-twenty-fourth of his then current Annual Nike

Income. However, commencement of the above-described monthly payments will be delayed until after the six-month period following the officers separation from service, and all payments that the officer would otherwise have received during that period will be paid in a lump sum promptly following the end of the period, together with interest at the prime rate. If employment is terminated without cause, the parties may mutually agree to waive the covenant not to compete, and if employment is terminated for cause, we may unilaterally waive the covenant. If the covenant is waived, we will not be required to make the payments described above for the months as to which the waiver applies. If the employment of these officers had been terminated by us on May 31, 2009 and assuming the covenant is not waived, we would have been required to pay Mr. Parker $287,589 per month and Mr. Denson $230,117 per month for the 24-month period ending May 31, 2011. If these officers had voluntarily resigned on May 31, 2009 and assuming the covenant is not waived, we would have been required to pay Mr. Parker $143,795 per month and Mr. Denson $115,058 per month for the 24-month period ending May 31, 2011. We have noncompetition agreements with Mr. Blair, Mr. DeStefano and Mr. Edwards on the same terms, except that the noncompetition period is one year instead of two years, the six month delay for commencement of payments does not apply and we may unilaterally waive the covenant in all cases including termination without cause. In addition, for Mr. Blair and Mr. Edwards, the monthly payments are one-twelfth or one-twenty-fourth of their current annual salaries, instead of their Annual Nike Income, and for Mr. DeStefano, the monthly payments on voluntary resignation are one-twenty-fourth of his current annual salary. If the employment of these officers had been terminated by us on May 31, 2009 and assuming the covenant is not waived, we would have been required to pay Mr. Blair $67,500 per month, Mr. DeStefano $149,670 per month and Mr. Edwards $67,500 per month for the 12-month period ending May 31, 2011. If these officers had voluntarily resigned on May 31, 2009 and assuming the covenant is not waived, we would have been required to pay Mr. Blair $33,750 per month, Mr. DeStefano $41,666 per month and Mr. Edwards $33,750 per month for the 12-month period ending May 31, 2011.
