EXHIBIT 10.7 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT This Employment Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2004 is entered into between Clearwire Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (the "Company"), and Perry Satterlee ("Executive"). WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive and to enter into an agreement embodying the terms of such employment (the "Agreement"), and Executive desires to accept such employment and enter into this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and Executive, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 1. Employment. (a) Agreement to Employ. Commencing on or before July 12, 2004 and upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof the Company shall employ Executive as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company until the Expiration Date (as defined in Section l(b)), any date to which this Agreement shall have been extended pursuant to section l(b) or any earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions hereof. Executive's office shall be located in the Seattle/Kirkland, Washington metropolitan area. During the term of his employment hereunder, Executive will devote substantially all of his business time to the performance of his duties hereunder. (b) Employment Period. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof, the initial term of Executive's employment with the Company shall be for a period of one year commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing until the first anniversary hereof (the "Expiration Date"). The term of this Agreement shall automatically extend for successive one-year terms commencing on the Expiration Date unless Executive or the Company's Chief Executive Officer or board of directors provides written notice to the other party at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the end of the then current term indicating that the party giving notice does not wish to extend the Agreement. In such event, the Agreement shall terminate at the end of the then current term. 2. Responsibility. Executive shall be responsible for the establishment, maintenance and operation of the Company's broadband wireless network, and all strategic marketing, customer care, and fulfillment functions at the Company and for such other duties commensurate with his position that may be assigned from time to time by the Company's board of directors or the Company's chief executive officer (to the extent not inconsistent with the duties assigned to him by the board of directors). Executive shall report directly to the chief executive officer and shall be subject to his supervision and the overall supervision of the board of directors. 1
EX-10.72nd Page of 11TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 2nd
3. Compensation and Benefits. (a) Salary, Bonus and Benefits. (i) The Company shall pay Executive a base salary in the annual amount of $350,000 payable bi-weekly or in such other manner as is consistent with the Company's normal payroll practices. (ii) The Company shall (subject to the review and approval by the compensation committee of the board of directors) establish a performance based program pursuant to which Executive shall receive, if performance targets are met, an additional annual cash payment of up to fifty percent (50%) of Executive's then current base salary paid during the preceding twelve months (or such higher amount as the compensation committee may approve, provided that the compensation committee will, upon the request of the Executive, review the foregoing target bonus on or about the first anniversary of the effective date of this agreement and determine whether, based on the performance of the Company and Executive, and the bonus structure applicable to other senior executives of the Company, the target bonus should be increased). (iii) As a further inducement to Executive to enter into this Agreement, subject to approval of the compensation committee of the board of directors, the Company shall grant to Executive (A) 1,000,000 restricted shares (the "Restricted Shares") of the Company's Class A common stock, subject to annual vesting at a rate of 50% of such grant upon each anniversary of the date of this Agreement provided that Executive remains employed with the Company as of such anniversary, and (B) an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock at a price of $2.00 per share pursuant to the Company's 2003 Employee Stock Option Plan, subject to annual vesting at a rate of 25% of such grant upon each anniversary of the date of this Agreement provided that Executive remains employed with the Company as of such anniversary. Executive shall also be paid on April 10, 2005 an amount equal to Executive's tax liability associated with the grant identified in (A) above resulting from making a Section 83(b) election, as such amount is reasonably determined by the Company or as finally determined by the Internal Revenue Service. Such payment shall be grossed-up to fully take into account the tax effect of the payment (including the gross-up) to the Executive. In the event that Executive's employment is terminated without "Cause" or for "Good Reason," or by reason of his death or disability, all unvested Restricted Shares shall vest immediately. In the event that Executive's employment is terminated for "Good Reason," or by reason of his death or disability, any unvested options that would otherwise have vested in the ensuing twelve (12) months shall vest immediately. In the event that Executive terminates his employment with the Company without "Good Reason," prior to the second anniversary hereof, all Restricted Shares, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled. (iv) The Company shall offer to Executive a benefits package equivalent to that provided to the Company's other employees and senior-level executives (including, without limitation, participation in the Company's medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance 2
EX-10.73rd Page of 11TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 3rd
programs, the Company's 401(k) plan, the Company's stock purchase program (if and when such program is implemented), and such other plans or programs as may be made available) (v) For so long as this Agreement is renewed, the compensation committee of the board of directors shall each year on or before the anniversary date of this Agreement review the Executive's base salary and bonus payment in light of the performance of Executive and the Company, and may increase (but not decrease) such base salary and bonus payment by an amount it determines to be appropriate. (b) Expenses. Executive shall maintain his own automobile and shall carry liability insurance in the minimum amount of $300,000. The Company shall reimburse Executive monthly for business use of his automobile at the prevailing IRS rate per mile. Executive shall also be reimbursed monthly for all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or paid by Executive while representing the Company or conducting Company business. Executive shall be responsible for maintaining records reasonably satisfactory to support all claimed business usage of his automobile and to substantiate all out-of-pocket expenses incurred for which reimbursement is sought and shall furnish such records to the Company in accordance with its policies. (c) Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to 15 vacation days each calendar year, any or all of which may be carried over into a new calendar year, for a maximum accrual of 30 days. Executive shall also be entitled to any paid or unpaid holidays provided by the Company in accordance with its generally applicable personnel policies. Upon termination of Executive's services under this Agreement, Executive will be paid for unused and accrued vacation time earned through the last completed day of service. (d) Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless in accordance with the terms of the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in each case as in effect on the date hereof. (e) D&O Insurance. The Company shall maintain directors and officers' liability insurance coverage covering Executive in amounts customary for similarly situated companies in the telecommunications industry and with reputable insurers. All such policies shall provide for coverage to Executive on the same terms and conditions applicable to the coverage provided under such policies to the Company's other directors and officers. 4. Nondisclosure of Proprietary and Confidential Information. (a) Confidential Information. Executive agrees to refrain (whether during or after his employment with the Company) from disclosing or using, except as permitted by this Agreement or otherwise authorized by the Company's board of directors, any secrets or confidential information with respect to the Company or any of the Company's direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the "Covered Entities"), including without limitation its trade secrets, patents, affairs, business plans, strategic, commercial or financial information other than information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Executive (the 3
EX-10.74th Page of 11TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 4th
"Confidential Information"). Confidential Information may be used solely for the benefit of the Company, and Executive shall not make any other use of such information. Executive agrees that all materials relating to the business of any Covered Entity that are provided or made available to Executive, or created by Executive, during the course of Executive's services to the Company shall be and remain the property of the Company and/or the applicable Covered Entity (subject to the terms of any separate agreement between the Company and/or the affected Covered Entity), whether or not such materials constitute or contain Confidential Information, and all copies of such materials shall be returned to the Company immediately upon the termination of Executive's services to the Company. In the event that the Company notifies the Executive that it has entered into a confidentiality agreement with a Covered Entity or with any affiliate of the Company with respect to confidential information provided to the Company, the Executive shall comply with such reasonable obligations thereunder as are applicable to the Executive. (b) Innovations; Inventions. Executive hereby sells, transfers and assigns to the Company all right, title and interest of Executive in and to any and all inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether patented or unpatented, and any and all copyrightable materials, in either case whether made or conceived in whole or in part by Executive alone or together with others during the initial term of this Agreement or any renewal term, that (i) relate to any methods, designs, products, processes, apparatus, service or devices sold, leased used or under construction or development by the Company or the Covered Entities, (ii) relate to the business, functions or operations of the Company or the Covered Entities, or (iii) arise from, in whole or in part, the efforts of Executive on behalf of the Company. Executive will communicate and disclose to the Company promptly all information, data and details pertaining to any inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements described above, in such form or format as the Company may reasonably request. During the term of this Agreement or any renewal term and thereafter, Executive will execute, acknowledge or deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) such formal transfers and assignments and such other papers and documents as may be required of Executive to permit the Company to file and prosecute any patent applications the Company desires to file and prosecute relating to any of the foregoing, and, as to copyrightable material, to obtain copyright thereon. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4 or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Executive from: (i) providing information to, testifying or otherwise assisting in any investigation or proceeding brought by any federal regulatory or law enforcement agency or legislative body, or any self- regulatory organization; (ii) providing information to or assisting in an investigation by the Company's designated legal, compliance and/or human resources officers; or (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in a proceeding relating to an alleged violation of any federal, state or municipal Jaw relating to fraud or any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any self-regulatory organization. 5. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. 4
EX-10.75th Page of 11TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
(a) In view of the unique value to the Company of Executive's services and because of the Confidential Information to be obtained by or disclosed to Executive as described above, Executive agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one year thereafter, provided that this Agreement is not terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below) or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined below): (i) Executive will not directly or indirectly assist or become associated with any broadband communications service provider in any business of such provider that competes with any of the Covered Entities, whether as a principal, partner, employee, consultant or shareholder (other than as a holder of less than 5% of the outstanding voting shares of any publicly traded company); (ii) Executive will not directly or indirectly solicit for employment or employ any employee of any of the Covered Entities, unless such solicited person shall have ceased to be employed by any such entity for a period of at least six months; and (iii) Executive will not directly or indirectly solicit business from customers of any of the Covered Entities, provided that the foregoing shall not restrict Executive or any entity with which Executive is associated from soliciting or doing business with any customer of any of the Covered Entities, if such solicitation does not interfere with any business relationship between such solicited customer and any of the Covered Entities. (b) If Executive violates any provision of Section 4 or Section 5(a), the Company shall be entitled to receive provable damages caused by such breach, provided that Executive shall not be liable for indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages (it being understood and agreed that this remedy is in addition to, and not a limitation on, any injunctive relief or other rights or remedies to which the Company is or may be entitled to at law or in equity). Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company's (and as applicable, each Covered Entity's) remedies at law for a breach of any provision of Section 4 or Section 5(a) would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company and, as to Section 4, each Covered Entity, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available. As provided in Section 10(i) hereof, the equitable remedies referenced in this Section 5(b) shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for or exclusion of, any other remedies available at law or in equity for any breach of either or both of Sections 4 or 5. Executive and the Company each specifically acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 are for the express benefit of each Covered Entity and that (i) no waiver, amendment or other modification of Sections 4 or 5 with respect to a Covered Entity shall be effective unless it has been consented to in writing by such Covered Entity, and (ii) each such Covered Entity shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of Section 4 and/or 5 hereof (as appropriate) as fully and with the same rights and effect as if such Covered Entity were a signatory party to this Agreement. 5
EX-10.76th Page of 11TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 6th
(c) If any provisions of Section 4 or Section 5(a) are held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable parts had not been included. 6. Noncontravention. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive is free to enter into this Agreement and has no commitment, arrangement or understanding to or with any party that restrains or is in conflict with Executive's performance of the covenants, services and duties provided for in this Agreement. Executive agrees to indemnify the Company and to hold it harmless against any and all liabilities or claims arising out of any unauthorized act or acts by Executive that, the foregoing representation and warranty to the contrary notwithstanding, are in violation, or constitute a breach of, any such commitment, arrangement or understanding. 7. Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate (and the term of this Agreement shall thereupon terminate) upon the occurrence of any one of the following events: (a) Death. This Agreement shall terminate upon the death of Executive. (b) Disability. This Agreement shall terminate upon the Executive's disability if Executive shall have been incapacitated from illness, accident or other disability and unable to perform his normal duties hereunder for a cumulative period of three months in any period of six consecutive months, and no reasonable accommodation being available, upon either party giving the other party not less than 30 days written notice. In the event of a disagreement over the nature of Executive's disability or the determination of whether Executive is disabled, Executive agrees to be examined by a licensed physician that is mutually agreeable to Executive and the Company. (c) Expiration of the Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate upon the Expiration Date or the scheduled expiration date of any renewal or extension thereof in compliance with Section l(b). (d) Termination by the Company With Cause. This Agreement shall terminate upon the Company's termination of Executive for Cause. (e) Voluntary Termination by Executive. This Agreement shall terminate upon Executive's voluntary resignation; provided that Executive shall provide the Company with no less than 30 days' written notice; provided, further, that such voluntary resignation shall not relieve or release Executive from any breach of this Agreement at or prior to the time of such resignation. (f) Termination by the Company Without Cause, This Agreement shall terminate upon the Company's termination of Executive for any reason other than for Cause; provided, that the Company shall provide Executive with no less than 30 days' written notice of any such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company's failure to renew the 6
EX-10.77th Page of 11TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 7th
Agreement for any subsequent one-year term shall be deemed to be a termination of Executive without Cause. (g) Termination by Executive for Good Reason.
