On July 6, 2012, EdgeWave, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EdgeWave” or the “Company”) and Timothy Steele entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) effective July 16, 2012, regarding Mr. Steele’s employment by EdgeWave as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales. The position shall report directly to the President.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Steele is entitled to receive semi-monthly payments of $7,916.67 (before deductions made at Employee's request, if any, and for deductions required by federal, state and local law). Additionally, Mr. Steele is entitled to receive monthly commission on sales based on the terms and conditions of the 2012 - 2013 Sales Variable (Commission) Compensation Plan established by the Board of Directors (Exhibit C of the Agreement). The Company will also grant Mr. Steele 250,000 non-qualified stock options to vest over a four (4) year period with one fourth (1/4) vesting on the first anniversary of the date of the grant and the remaining three fourths (3/4) vesting over the remaining three (3) years on a monthly basis until such shares are vested in full.

In the event that Mr. Steele resigns for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Agreement) or in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Agreement), any “unvested” options will accelerate by 50% and “vest” immediately upon the later date of the Change of Control or resignation for “Good Reason” and the date the Release Agreement (as defined in the Agreement) is signed and becomes effective. The Company will also grant Mr. Steele the option to participate in the benefit plans offered by the Company, including without limitation, 401(k), and other savings plans, short and long term disability insurance, Section 125 (cafeteria) and similar pre-tax expense plans, holidays, sick leave, etc., which may be amended from time to time at the Company’s discretion. Mr. Steele can also participate in health insurance for himself and his dependents, and such other benefits as provided by the Company to all of its employees from time to time. Mr. Steele will be entitled to three (3) weeks Personal Time Off (“PTO”) with pay for each twelve-month period, to be taken at times agreed with Company. Unused PTO shall accrue according to the Company’s accrued PTO policy, as may be amended from time to time. Mr. Steele’s employment is on an “at-will” basis and not for any specific time period.
