In addition, Stephen shall have all of his pre-existing rights with respect to stock options and restricted |
(a) | payment of $299,000/AUD, being 12 months of base salary with respect to redundancy, payable over the 12 months following the Termination Date in accordance with the usual payroll practices of Brady Australia, with the first such payment to be made on the first pay date after the Termination Date; |

(a) | the option to retain his company computer/mobile phone/iPad fully wiped of all company-related data and information. |
2 | Confidentiality and return of company property |
2.1 | The parties specifically agree that the benefits provided under clause 1 fully satisfy any obligation Brady Australia or Brady Corporation may have to provide salary payments to Stephen under any Confidential Information or Non-Compete Agreement he may have signed. All Confidentiality, Non-Solicitation and Non-Compete restrictions and responsibilities to which Stephen will be subject after execution of this Agreement are set forth in this clause 2. |
2.2 | In addition, and as further consideration for this Agreement, Stephen agrees to, understands and acknowledges the following: |
(a) | during his employment with Brady Australia and Brady Corporation, he was provided with Confidential Information relating to the companies and their subsidiary and affiliated companies, and the business and clients of Brady Australia and Brady Corporation and their subsidiary and affiliated companies, the disclosure or misuse of which would cause severe and irreparable harm to them. |
(b) | Stephen agrees that all Confidential Information is and will remain the sole and absolute property of Brady Australia and Brady Corporation respectively. |
(c) | Upon the Termination Date, Stephen must immediately return to Brady Australia and Brady Corporation all documents and materials that contain or constitute Confidential Information, in any form whatsoever, including but not limited to, all copies, abstracts, electronic versions, and summaries thereof. |
(d) | Stephen further agrees that, without the written approval of either Brady Australia or Brady Corporation, he will not disclose, use, copy or duplicate, or otherwise permit the use, disclosure, copying or duplication of any Confidential Information. Stephen agrees to take all reasonable steps and precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure, use, copying or duplication of Confidential Information. |
(e) | For the purposes of this Deed, Confidential Information means any and all financial, technical, commercial or other information concerning the business and affairs of Brady Australia and Brady Corporation, or any of their subsidiary and affiliated companies, that is confidential and proprietary to Brady Australia or Brady Corporation, or any of their subsidiary and affiliated companies, including without limitation, |
(f) | Stephen further agrees that, without the written approval of the Board of Directors of either Brady Australia or Brady Corporation, he will not engage in any of the conduct described in subsection (i) below, either directly or indirectly, or as an employee, contractor, consultant, partner, officer, director or stockholder, other than a stockholder of less than 5% of the equities of a publicly traded corporation, or in any other capacity for any person, firm, partnership or corporation: |
(g) | Stephen acknowledges and agrees that compliance with this clause 2 is necessary to protect Brady Australia and Brady Corporation, and that a breach of any portion of this clause 2 will result in irreparable and continuing damage to Brady Australia and Brady Corporation for which there will be no adequate remedy at law, as the confidentiality of the information of which Stephen is aware is substantially indistinguishable from the personal skills, knowledge and ability he has developed in the course of his employment, and can be protected only by these restraints. In the event of a breach of this clause 2, or any part thereof, either Brady Australia or Brady Corporation, and their successors and assigns will be entitled to seek injunctive relief and to such other and further relief as is proper under the circumstances. Either Brady Australia or Brady Corporation may institute and prosecute proceedings in any Court of competent jurisdiction either in law or in equity to obtain damages for any such breach of this clause 2, or to enjoin Stephen from performing services in breach of this clause 2 during the term of employment and for a period of 12 months following the Termination Date. Stephen hereby agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of any Court of competent jurisdiction in any disputes that arise under this Agreement. If any such dispute is before a Court of competent jurisdiction in Australia, the law of New South Wales shall apply. |
(h) | Stephen further agrees that, in the event of a breach of this paragraph 9, Brady Australia and Brady Corporation shall also be entitled to recover the value of any amounts previously paid or payable under this Agreement. |
(i) | In case any one or more of the provisions of this clause 2 is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected or impaired in any way. |
(j) | STEPHEN HAS READ THIS CLAUSE 2 AND AGREES THAT THE CONSIDERATION PROVIDED IS FAIR AND REASONABLE AND FURTHER AGREES THAT GIVEN THE IMPORTANCE TO BRADY AUSTRALIA OR BRADY CORPORATION OF THEIR CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS ON HIS ACTIVITIES ARE LIKEWISE FAIR AND REASONABLE. |
3 | Releases |
