2019, and 2018, one customer accounted for approximately 13%, 11% and 13% of our consolidated revenue, respectively. We expect to maintain our relationship
with this customer.
Production and Suppliers
We outsource our 3D printer assembly and refurbishment activities to selected design, engineering and manufacturing companies in the U.S., Switzerland and
Belgium. We purchase finished printers from these suppliers pursuant to forecasts and customer orders that we supply to them. These suppliers also carry out
quality control procedures on our printers prior to their shipment to customers. As part of these activities, these suppliers have responsibility for procuring the
components and sub-assemblies either from us or third-party suppliers. While the outsourced suppliers of our printers have responsibility for the supply chain and
inventory of components for the printers they assemble, the components, parts and sub-assemblies that are used in our printers are generally available from several
potential suppliers. We produce our Simbionix branded 3D simulators in Airport City, Israel.
We produce materials at our facilities in Rock Hill, South Carolina, Marly, Switzerland and Soesterberg, Netherlands. We also have arrangements with third
parties who blend certain materials according to our specifications that we sell under our own brand names, and we purchase certain materials from third parties for
resale to our customers.
Our equipment assembly and materials blending activities, on demand and advanced manufacturing services and certain research and development activities are
subject to compliance with applicable federal, state and local provisions regulating the storage, use and discharge of materials into the environment. We believe
that we are in compliance, in all material respects, with such regulations as currently in effect, and we expect continued compliance with them will not have a
material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, results of operations or consolidated financial position.
8
As a company with global operations, we are subject to the laws of the U.S. and multiple foreign jurisdictions in which we operate and the rules and regulations of
various governing bodies, which may differ among jurisdictions. Compliance with these laws, rules and regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a
material effect on our capital expenditures, results of operations or competitive position as compared to prior periods.
Research and Development
The 3D printing industry continues to experience rapid technological change and developments in hardware, software and materials. Consequently, we have
ongoing research and development programs to develop new products and to enhance our portfolio of products and services, as well as to improve and expand the
capabilities of our solutions. Our efforts are often augmented by development arrangements with research institutions, customers, suppliers, assembly and design
firms, engineering companies, materials companies and other partners.
In addition to our internally developed technology platforms, we have acquired products and technologies developed by others by acquiring business entities that
held ownership rights to such products and technologies. In other instances, we have licensed or purchased the intellectual property rights of technologies
developed by third parties through agreements that may obligate us to pay a license fee or royalty, typically based upon a dollar amount per unit or a percentage of
the revenue generated by such products.
Intellectual Property
We regard our technology platforms and materials as proprietary and seek to protect them through copyrights, patents, trademarks and trade secrets. At December
31, 2020 and 2019 we held 1,269 and 1,256 patents worldwide, respectively. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had 312 and 322 pending patent applications
worldwide, respectively. The principal issued patents covering aspects of our various technologies will expire at varying times through the year 2034.
In addition, we are a party to various licenses that have had the effect of broadening the range of the patents, patent applications and other intellectual property
available to us.
We have also entered into licensing or cross-licensing arrangements with various companies in the U.S. and other countries that enable those companies to utilize
our technologies in their products or that enable us to use their technologies in our products. Under certain of these licenses, we are entitled to receive, or we are
obligated to pay, royalties for the sale of licensed products in the U.S. or in other countries. The amount of such royalties was not material to our results of
operations or financial position for the three-year period ended December 31, 2020.
We believe that, while our patents and licenses provide us with a competitive advantage, our success also depends on our marketing, business development,
applications know-how and ongoing research and development efforts. Accordingly, we believe the expiration of any of the patents, patent applications or licenses
discussed above would not be material to our business or financial position.
Competition
We compete with other suppliers of 3D printers, materials, software and healthcare solutions as well as with suppliers of conventional manufacturing solutions. We
compete with these suppliers for customers as well as channel partners for certain of our products. We also compete with businesses and service bureaus that use
such equipment to produce models, prototypes, molds and end-use parts. Development of new technologies or techniques not encompassed by the patents that we
own or license may result in additional future competition.
Our competitors operate both globally and regionally, and many of them have well-recognized brands and product lines. Additionally, certain of our competitors
are well established and may have greater financial resources than us.
We believe principal competitive factors include technology capabilities, materials, process and application know-how, total cost of operation of solution, product
reliability and the ability to provide a full range of products and services to meet customer needs. We believe that our future success depends on our ability to
provide high quality solutions, introduce new products and services to meet evolving customer needs and market opportunities, and extend our technologies to new
applications. Accordingly, our ongoing research and development programs are intended to enable us to continue technology advancement and develop innovative
new solutions for the marketplace.
Human Capital Resources
9
At December 31, 2020, we had 1,995 full-time and part-time employees, compared to 2,472 at December 31, 2019. None of our U.S. employees are covered by
collective bargaining agreements, however, some of our employees outside the U.S. are subject to local statutory employment and labor arrangements. We have
not experienced any material work stoppages and believe that our relations with our employees are satisfactory.
Through our operating history and experience with technological innovation, we appreciate the importance of retention, growth and development of our
employees. We believe we offer competitive compensation (including salary, incentive bonus and equity) and benefits packages at each of our locations around the
globe. Further, we have development programs and on-demand opportunities to cultivate talent throughout the Company. We believe that conducting business with
integrity, valuing diversity in people and ideas, and being a positive force for action in our Company and communities are vital to our success and the right thing to
do. We are focused on our values to grow profitability and win, deliver "extraordinary" to our customers, innovate with purpose, trust and empower, and build
great teams. These values articulate what we do to achieve meaningful results and make a difference to our customers, stakeholders and each other.
In 2020 we announced the launch of our global responsibility and sustainability initiative dedicated to environmental responsibility, social responsibility and
responsible practices and governance (ESG).

Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully read the following discussion of significant factors, events and uncertainties when evaluating our business and the forward-looking
information contained in this Form 10-K. The events and consequences discussed in these risk factors could materially and adversely affect our business, operating
results, liquidity and financial condition. While we believe we have identified and discussed below the key risk factors affecting our business, these risk factors do
not identify all the risks we face, and there may be additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know or that we do not currently believe to be
significant that may have a material adverse effect on our business, performance or financial condition in the future.
11
Operational & Financial Risk Factors
Our uneven sales cycle makes planning and inventory management difficult and future financial results less predictable.
Our quarterly sales often have reflected a pattern in which a disproportionate percentage of each quarter’s total sales occur towards the end of the quarter, in
particular for sales of hardware. This uneven sales pattern makes predicting net revenue, earnings, cash flow from operations and working capital for each financial
period difficult, increases the risk of unanticipated variations in our quarterly results and financial condition and places pressure on our inventory management and
logistics systems. If predicted demand is substantially greater than orders, there may be excess inventory. Alternatively, if orders substantially exceed predicted
demand, we may not be able to fulfill all of the orders received in each quarter and such orders may be canceled. Depending on when they occur in a quarter,
developments such as an information systems failure, component pricing movements, component shortages or global logistics disruptions could adversely impact
our inventory levels and results of operations in a manner that is disproportionate to the number of days in the quarter affected.
The variety of products that we sell could cause significant quarterly fluctuations in our gross profit margins, and those fluctuations in margins could
cause fluctuations in operating income or loss and net income or loss.
We continuously work to expand and improve our products, materials and services offerings, geographic areas in which we operate and the distribution channels
we use to reach various target product applications and customers. This variety of products, applications, channels and regions involves a range of gross profit
margins that can cause substantial quarterly fluctuations in gross profit and gross profit margins depending upon the mix of product shipments from quarter to
quarter. Additionally, the introduction of new products or services may further heighten quarterly fluctuations in gross profit and gross profit margins due to
manufacturing ramp-up and start-up costs. We may experience significant quarterly fluctuations in gross profit margins or operating income or loss due to the
impact of the mix of products, channels or geographic areas in which we sell our products from period to period.
Our products and services may experience quality problems from time to time that can result in decreased sales and operating margin, product returns,
product liability, warranty or other claims that could result in significant expenses and harm to our reputation.
We sell complex hardware and software products, materials and services that can contain undetected design and manufacturing defects or errors when first
introduced or as enhancements are released that, despite testing, are not discovered until after the product has been installed and used by customers. Sophisticated
software and applications, such as those sold by us, may contain “bugs” that can unexpectedly interfere with the software’s intended operation. Defects may also
occur in components and products we purchase from third parties. There can be no assurance we will be able to detect and fix all defects in the hardware, software,
materials and services we sell. Failure to do so could result in lost revenue, product returns, product liability, delayed market acceptance of those products and
services, claims from distributors, end-users or others, increased end-user service and support costs, and significant warranty claims and other expenses to correct
the defects, diversion of management time and attention and harm to our reputation.
Changes in, or interpretation of, tax rules and regulations may impact our effective tax rate and future profitability.
We are a U.S. based, multinational company subject to taxation in multiple U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rates could be adversely
affected by changes in statutory tax rates or interpretation of tax rules and regulations in jurisdictions in which we do business, changes in the amount of revenue or
earnings in the countries with varying statutory tax rates, or by changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is one
such example of legislation that impacts our effective tax rate and tax posture. For additional details see Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8
of this Form 10-K.
In addition, we are subject to audits and examinations of previously filed income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other domestic and foreign tax
authorities. We regularly assess the potential impact of such examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and have reserved for
potential adjustments that we expect may result from the current examinations. We believe such estimates to be reasonable; however, there is no assurance that the
final determination of any examination will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial position.
12
Changes in business conditions may cause goodwill and other intangible assets to become impaired.
Goodwill and other intangible assets are subject to an impairment test on an annual basis and when circumstances indicate that an impairment is more likely than
not. Such circumstances include a significant adverse change in the business climate or a decision to dispose of a business or product line. We face some
uncertainty in our business environment due to a variety of challenges, including changes in customer demand. While we recorded an impairment to our goodwill
in 2020, we may experience additional unforeseen circumstances that adversely affect the value of our goodwill or intangible assets and trigger an evaluation of the
amount of the recorded goodwill and intangible assets. Future write-offs of goodwill or other intangible assets as a result of an impairment in the business could
materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
The COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The novel strain of the coronavirus identified in China in late 2019 (COVID-19) has globally spread throughout other areas such as Asia, Europe, the Middle East,
and North America and has resulted in authorities imposing, and businesses and individuals implementing, numerous unprecedented measures to try to contain the
virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place/stay-at-home and social distancing orders, and shutdowns. These measures have impacted
and may further impact our workforce and operations, the operations of our customers, and those of our respective vendors, suppliers, and partners. Each of the
countries in which we operate has been affected by the outbreak and taken measures to try to contain it. The ultimate impact and efficacy of government measures
and potential future measures is currently unknown.
There is continued uncertainty regarding the business impacts from such measures and potential future measures. While we have been able to continue our
operations through a combination of work-from-home and social distancing policies implemented to protect employees, these measures have resulted in reduced
workforce availability at some of our sites. Restrictions on our access to customer facilities may impact our ability to meet customer demand and could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, particularly if prolonged. Our customers have experienced, and may continue to
experience, disruptions in their operations, which can result in delayed, reduced, or canceled orders, or collection risks, and which may adversely affect our results
of operations.
The pandemic has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty. It is possible that the current outbreak and continued spread of COVID-19 will
continue to cause an economic slowdown. There is a significant degree of uncertainty and lack of visibility as to the extent and duration of any such slowdown or
recession. Risks related to a slowdown or recession may harm our long-term ability to do business, adversely affect our sales, costs, results of operations and cash
flow. Given the significant economic uncertainty and volatility created by the pandemic, it is difficult to predict the nature and extent of impacts on demand for our
products and services. These expectations are subject to change without warning and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them.
The pandemic led to increased disruption and volatility in capital markets and credit markets. We implemented temporary salary decreases for executives, 2-week
furloughs for non-essential employees, and suspension of all non-essential capital expenditures measures to strengthen our liquidity position given the uncertainty
regarding the length and severity of the pandemic and ongoing economic uncertainty. Unanticipated consequences of the pandemic and resulting economic
uncertainty could result in a breach of the debt financial covenant, thus adversely affecting our liquidity and capital resources in the future, as well as incurring
additional costs if an amendment to the credit agreement is required.
The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, cancellation of physical
participation in meetings, events and conferences, and social distancing measures), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities
or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, vendors, and suppliers. Work-from-home and other measures introduce
additional operational risks, including cybersecurity risks, and have affected the way we conduct our product development and testing, customer support, and other
activities, which could have an adverse effect on our operations. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus,
and illness and workforce disruptions could lead to unavailability of key personnel and harm our ability to perform critical functions.
We depend on outsourcing partners for assembly of our 3D printers and our supply chain for spare parts and for raw materials used in our materials.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused supply and logistical disruptions for both our outsourcing partners and supply chain partners. If these
relationships were to terminate or these disruptions worsen, our business could be disrupted while we locate alternative suppliers and our expenses may
increase.
13
We have outsourced selected design and manufacturing companies to assemble our printers. In carrying out these outsourcing activities, we face a number of risks,
including, among others, the following:
The risk that the parties that we retain to perform assembly activities may not perform in a satisfactory manner;
The risk of disruption in the supply of printers or other products to our customers if such third parties either fail to perform in a satisfactory manner or are
unable to supply us with the quantity of printers or other products that are needed to meet then current customer demand;
The risk of work delays or supply chain disruptions stemming from governmental efforts to contain the COVID-19; and
The risk of insolvency of suppliers, as well as the risks that we face, as discussed below, in dealing with a limited number of suppliers.
We purchase components and sub-assemblies for our printers from third-party suppliers that we provide to our customers as spare parts. Additionally, we purchase
raw materials that are used in our materials, as well as certain of those materials, from third-party suppliers.
While there are several potential suppliers of parts for our products, we currently choose to use only one or a limited number of suppliers for several of these items,
including our lasers, materials and certain jetting components. Our reliance on a single or limited number of suppliers involves many risks, including, among
others, the following:
Potential shortages of some key components;
Disruptions in the operations of these suppliers;
Product performance shortfalls; and
Reduced control over delivery schedules, assembly capabilities, quality and costs.
The recent situation brought on by COVID-19 pandemic has created minor delays on the inbound supply chain at our partners and our own facilities. Additional
delays on both inbound and outbound logistics have also created challenges. We have been able to identify alternative solutions such that none of the issues have
had a material impact on our ability to fulfill demand.
While we believe that, if necessary, we can obtain all the components necessary for our spare parts and materials from other manufacturers, we require any new
supplier to become “qualified” pursuant to our internal procedures, which could involve evaluation processes of varying durations. Our spare parts and raw
materials used in our materials production are subject to various lead times. In addition, at any time, certain suppliers may decide to discontinue production of a
part or raw material that we use. Any unanticipated change in the sources of our supplies, or unanticipated supply limitations, could increase production or related
costs and consequently reduce margins.
If our forecasts exceed actual orders, we may hold large inventories of slow-moving or unusable parts, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow,
profitability and results of operations. Inversely, we may lose orders if our forecast is low and we are unable to meet demand. There is considerable uncertainty on
the business impact from current measures and potential future measures to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic on our vendors, suppliers, and partners,
especially if such measures are in effect for an extended period of time. If disruptions to global businesses from the pandemic continue or worsen, our business
could face greater supply chain delays and difficulty shipping or receiving products and materials, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
Our restructuring activities may result in disruption to our business, we may not fully realize the expected benefits of our restructuring plans or other
operating or cost-saving initiatives and the cost of the restructuring activities may be more than anticipated.
On August 5, 2020, we announced a plan to restructure our businesses to streamline the company’s operations to align our cost structure to the current level of
revenues. The restructuring plan includes, in conjunction with other cost reduction measures, a reduction of annualized costs by approximately $80 million by the
end of 2021, with additional savings of approximately $20 million dependent on potential divestitures. Other cost reduction efforts include reducing the number of
facilities and examining every aspect of the company’s manufacturing and operating costs. The company incurred certain incremental costs such as severance,
facility closing and other restructuring costs, primarily in the second half of 2020. The company may incur additional charges in 2021 as it finalizes all the actions
to be taken.
14
These restructuring activities may yield unintended consequences and costs, such as attrition beyond our intended reduction in force, the distraction of our
employees, additional charges for severance and severance-related costs and the loss of in-house knowledge in connection with the planned reduction in our
workforce. This type of restructuring activity also may result in business disruptions and may not produce the full efficiency and cost reduction benefits
anticipated. Further, the benefits may be realized later than expected and the cost of implementing these measures may be greater than anticipated. If these
measures are not successful, we may need to undertake additional cost reduction efforts, which could result in future charges. Moreover, the restructuring plan may
cause business disruptions with customers and elsewhere if our cost reduction efforts prove ineffective, and our business may not be more efficient or effective
than prior to implementation of the plan. Our restructuring activities, including the related charges and the impact of the related workforce reduction, could have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
The loss of, continued reduction or substantial decline in revenue from larger clients could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability
and liquidity.
We experience revenue concentration with a large customer that represents over 10% of our consolidated revenue. Generally, our contracts do not contain
guarantees of minimum duration, revenue levels, or profitability. This customer may terminate their contracts or materially reduce their requested levels of service
at any time. The loss of, deterioration of the financial condition of, or a significant change to the business of this customer could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, this concentration exposes us to concentrated credit risk, as a significant portion of our
accounts receivable may be from a single customer. If we are unable to collect our receivables, or are required to take additional reserves, our results and cash
flows will be adversely affected.
Business Strategy Risk Factors
We have made, and may make in the future, strategic acquisitions and divestitures that may involve significant risks and uncertainties. We may not
realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions and integration of these acquisitions may disrupt our business and divert management
attention. Likewise, our potential future divestitures may be unsuccessful and negatively impact our business.
From time to time, we evaluate acquisition candidates that fit our business objectives. Acquisitions involve certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others,
the following:
Difficulty in integrating newly acquired businesses and operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner, which may also impact our ability to realize
the potential benefits associated with the acquisition;
The risk that significant unanticipated costs or other problems associated with integration may be encountered;
The challenges in achieving strategic objectives, cost savings and other anticipated benefits;
The risk that our marketplaces do not evolve as anticipated and that the technologies acquired do not prove to be those needed to be successful in the
marketplaces that we serve;
The risk that we assume significant liabilities that exceed the limitations of any applicable indemnification provisions or the financial resources of any
indemnifying party;
The inability to maintain a relationship with key customers, vendors and other business partners of the acquired businesses;
The difficulty in maintaining controls, procedures and policies during the transition and integration;
The potential loss of key employees of the acquired businesses;
The risk of diverting management attention from our existing operations;
Difficulties in coordinating geographically disparate organizations and corporate cultures and integrating management personnel with different business
backgrounds;
The potential failure of the due diligence process to identify significant problems, liabilities or other challenges of an acquired company or technology;
The risk that we incur significant costs associated with such acquisition activity that may negatively impact our operating results before the benefits of
such acquisitions are realized, if at all;
The entry into marketplaces where we have no or limited direct prior experience and where competitors have stronger marketplace positions;
The exposure to litigation or other claims in connection with our assuming claims or litigation risks from terminated employees, customers, former
shareholders or other third parties; and
The risk that historical financial information may not be representative or indicative of our results as a combined company.
15
Historically, we have grown organically and from acquisitions, and we intend to continue to grow. Our infrastructure will require, among other things, continued
development of our financial and management controls and management information systems, management of our sales channel, continued capital expenditures,
the ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel and the training of new personnel. We cannot be sure that our infrastructure, systems, procedures,
business processes and managerial controls will be adequate to support the growth in our operations. Any delays in, or problems associated with, implementing, or
transitioning to, new or enhanced systems, procedures, or controls to accommodate and support the requirements of our business and operations and to effectively
and efficiently integrate acquired operations may adversely affect our ability to meet customer requirements, manage our product inventory, and record and report
financial and management information on a timely and accurate basis. These potential negative effects could prevent us from realizing the benefits of an
acquisition transaction or other growth opportunity.
Likewise, we have in the past, and may in the future, divest certain business operations. Divestitures involve a number of risks, including the diversion of
management's attention, significant costs and expenses, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, the loss of customer relationships and cash flow,
and the disruption of operations in the affected business. Failure to timely complete or consummate a divestiture may negatively affect valuation of the affected
business or result in restructuring charges.
In the event an unsuccessful acquisition or divestiture, our competitive position, revenues, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Regulatory, Legislative and Legal Risk Factors
We are subject to U.S. and other anti-corruption laws, trade controls, economic sanctions and similar laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with
these laws and regulations could subject us to civil, criminal and administrative penalties and harm our reputation.
Doing business on a worldwide basis requires us to comply with the laws and regulations of the U.S. government and various foreign jurisdictions. These laws and
regulations place restrictions on our operations, trade practices, partners and investments.
In particular, our operations are subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption and trade control laws and regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
(“FCPA”) and United Kingdom Bribery Act (the “Bribery Act”), export controls and economic sanctions programs, including those administered by the
U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (“DDTC”) and the Bureau
of Industry and Security (“BIS”) of the Department of Commerce. As a result of doing business in foreign countries and with foreign customers, we are exposed to
a heightened risk of violating anti-corruption and trade control laws and sanctions regulations.
As part of our business, we may deal with state-owned business enterprises, the employees of which are considered foreign officials for purposes of the FCPA’s
prohibition on providing anything of value to foreign officials for the purposes of obtaining or retaining business or securing any improper business advantage. In
addition, the provisions of the Bribery Act extend beyond bribery of foreign public officials and also apply to transactions with individuals that a government does
not employ. Some of the international locations in which we operate lack a developed legal system and have higher than normal levels of corruption. Our
continued expansion outside the U.S., including in Brazil, China, India and developing countries, and our development of new partnerships worldwide, could
increase the risk of FCPA, OFAC or Bribery Act violations in the future.
As an exporter, we must comply with various laws and regulations relating to the export of products and technology from the U.S. and other countries having
jurisdiction over our operations. In the U.S., these laws include the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) administered by the DDTC, the Export
Administration Regulations (“EAR”) administered by the BIS and trade sanctions against embargoed countries and destinations administered by OFAC. The EAR
governs products, parts, technology and software which present military or weapons proliferation concerns, so-called “dual use” items, and ITAR governs military
items listed on the United States Munitions List. Prior to shipping certain items, we must obtain an export license or verify that license exemptions are available.
Any failures to comply with these laws and regulations could result in fines, adverse publicity and restrictions on our ability to export our products, and repeat
failures could carry more significant penalties.
16
Violations of anti-corruption and trade control laws and sanctions regulations are punishable by civil penalties, including fines, denial of export privileges,
injunctions, asset seizures, debarment from government contracts and revocations or restrictions of licenses, as well as criminal fines and imprisonment and could
harm our reputation, create negative shareholder sentiment and affect our share value. We have established policies and procedures designed to assist our
compliance with applicable U.S. and international anti-corruption and trade control laws and regulations, including the FCPA, the Bribery Act and trade controls
and sanctions programs administered by OFAC, the DDTC and BIS, and have trained our employees to comply with these laws and regulations. However, there
can be no assurance that all of our employees, consultants, agents or other associated persons will not take actions in violation of our policies and these laws and
regulations. Additionally, there can be no assurance that our policies and procedures will effectively prevent us from violating these regulations in every
transaction in which we may engage or provide a defense to any alleged violation. In particular, we may be held liable for the actions that our joint venture partners
take inside or outside of the United States, even though our partners may not be subject to these laws. Such a violation, even if our policies prohibit it, could have
an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, various state and municipal governments, universities and
other investors maintain prohibitions or restrictions on investments in companies that do business with sanctioned countries, persons and entities, which could
adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
We disclosed potential violations of U.S. export controls laws to the U.S. federal government that resulted in multiple investigations. We have
implemented compliance processes and procedures to identify and prevent potential future violations of export control laws, trade sanctions, and
government contracting laws and regulations, and continue to review our government contracting compliance risks and potential violations. Based on the
disclosures and investigations, the U.S. Air Force temporarily suspended us from certain new federal contracts and orders in July 2019 and lifted that
suspension in September 2019 following the execution of an Administrative Agreement with the Company. Failure to comply with the terms of the
Administrative Agreement or the commencement of a separate action by another governmental agency would result in decreased revenues and additional
harm to our reputation and otherwise adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
In October 2017, we received an administrative subpoena from BIS requesting the production of records in connection with possible violations of U.S. export
control laws, including with regard to our Quickparts.com, Inc. subsidiary. In addition, while collecting information responsive to the above-referenced subpoena,
our internal investigation identified potential violations of ITAR administered by DDTC and potential violations of the Export Administration Regulations
administered by BIS.
On June 8, 2018 and thereafter, we submitted voluntary disclosures to BIS and DDTC identifying numerous potentially unauthorized exports of technical data. As
part of our ongoing review of trade compliance risks and our cooperation with the government, on November 20, 2019, we submitted to the U.S. Treasury
Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) an initial notice of voluntary disclosure regarding potential violations of economic sanctions related to
Iran. We continued to investigate this issue and filed a final disclosure with OFAC on May 20, 2020. We have and will continue to implement compliance
enhancements to our export controls, trade sanctions, and government contracting compliance program to address the issues identified through our ongoing internal
investigation and will cooperate with DDTC and BIS, as well as the U.S. Departments of Justice, Defense, Homeland Security and Treasury in their ongoing
reviews of these matters. In connection with these ongoing reviews, in August 2020, the Company received two federal grand jury subpoenas issued by the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The Company responded to these two subpoenas and will continue to fully cooperate with the U.S. Department of
Justice in the related investigation.
In addition, on July 19, 2019, we received a notice of immediate suspension of federal contracting from the United States Air Force, pending the outcome of an
ongoing investigation. The suspension applied to 3D Systems, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and was related to export controls violations involving 3D Systems’
On Demand manufacturing business described above. Under the suspension, we were generally prohibited from receiving new federal government contracts or
subcontracts from any executive branch agency as described in the provisions of 48 C.F.R Subpart 9.4 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The suspension
allowed us to continue to perform current federal contracts, and also to receive awards of new subcontracts for items under $35,000 and for items considered
commercially available off-the-shelf items. The Air Force lifted the suspension on September 6, 2019 following the execution of a two-year Administrative
Agreement with the Company. The Company is now eligible to obtain and perform U.S. government contracts and subcontracts without restrictions. Under the
Administrative Agreement, the Company will be monitored and evaluated by independent monitors who will report to the Air Force on the Company’s compliance
with the terms of the Company’s Ethics & Compliance Program, including its overall culture, government contracting compliance program, and export controls
compliance program. The Company’s failure to comply fully with the terms of the Administrative Agreement or the commencement of separate actions by other
agencies of the federal government could result in reinstatement of the suspension or debarment from future federal contracting, which would result in decreased
revenues and additional harm to our reputation and otherwise adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
17
Although we cannot predict the ultimate resolution of these matters, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant legal costs and other expenses in
connection with responding to the U.S. government agencies.
Since 2018, we have implemented new compliance procedures to identify and prevent potential violations of export controls laws, trade sanctions, and government
contracting laws and regulations and created a Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors to further enhance board oversight of compliance risks. As we
continue to implement additional compliance enhancements, we may discover additional potential violations of export controls laws, trade sanctions, and/or
government contracting laws in the future. If we identify any additional potential violations, we will submit voluntary disclosures to the relevant agencies and
cooperate with such agencies on any related investigations. Independent monitors will observe and evaluate the Company’s continued compliance with its Ethics &
Compliance Program during the term of the Administrative Agreement.
If the U.S. government finds that we have violated one or more export controls laws, trade sanctions, or government contracting laws, we could be subject to
various civil or criminal penalties. By statute, these penalties can include but are not limited to fines, which by statute may be significant, denial of export
privileges, and suspension or debarment from participation in U.S. government contracts. We may also be subject to contract claims based upon such violations.
Any assessment of penalties or other liabilities incurred in connection with these matters could harm our reputation and customer relationships, create negative
investor sentiment, and affect our share value. In connection with any resolution, we may also be required to undertake additional remedial compliance measures
and program monitoring. We cannot at this time predict when the U.S. government agencies will conclude their investigations or determine an estimated cost, if
any, or range of costs, for any penalties, fines or other liabilities to third parties that may be incurred in connection with these matters.
We derive a significant portion of our revenue from business conducted outside the U.S. and are subject to the risks of doing business outside the U.S.
We face many risks inherent in conducting business activities outside the U.S. that, unless managed properly, may adversely affect our profitability, including our
ability to collect amounts due from customers. While most of our operations outside the U.S. are conducted in highly developed countries, our operations could be
adversely affected by, among others, the following:
Unexpected changes in laws, regulations and policies of non-U.S. governments relating to investments and operations, as well as U.S. laws affecting the
activities of U.S. companies abroad;
Changes in regulatory requirements, including export controls, tariffs and embargoes, other trade restrictions, competition, corporate practices and data
privacy concerns;
Political policies, political or civil unrest, terrorism or epidemics and other similar outbreaks;
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
Limited protection for the enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights in some countries;
Difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
Operating in countries with a higher incidence of corruption and fraudulent business practices;
Effects of the implementation of the U.K.’s departure from the European Union, known as Brexit;
Potentially adverse changes in taxation;
The impact of public health epidemics on employees and the global economy; and
Other factors, depending upon the specific country in which we conduct business.
These uncertainties may make it difficult for us and our customers to accurately plan future business activities and may lead our customers in certain countries to
delay purchases of our products and services. More generally, these geopolitical, social and economic conditions could result in increased volatility in global
financial markets and economies.
The consequences of terrorism or armed conflicts are unpredictable, and we may not be able to foresee events that could have an adverse effect on our market
opportunities or our business. We are uninsured for losses and interruptions caused by terrorism, acts of war and similar events.
While the geographic areas outside the U.S. in which we operate are generally not considered to be highly inflationary, our foreign operations are sensitive to
fluctuations in currency exchange rates arising from, among other things, certain intercompany transactions that are generally denominated, for example, in U.S.
dollars rather than their respective functional currencies.
18
Moreover, our operations are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, which may
adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We seek to minimize these risks through regular operating and financing activities and, when we
consider it to be appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. However, our efforts to minimize our exposure to market risks from changes in
interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices may prove to be insufficient or unsuccessful.
We may incur substantial costs enforcing or acquiring intellectual property rights and defending against third-party claims as a result of litigation or
other proceedings.
In connection with the enforcement of our own intellectual property rights, the acquisition of third-party intellectual property rights or disputes related to the
validity or alleged infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, including patent rights, we have been, and may in the future be, subject to claims,
negotiations or complex, protracted litigation. Intellectual property disputes and litigation may be costly and can be disruptive to our business operations by
diverting attention and energies of management and key technical personnel, and by increasing our costs of doing business. Although we have successfully
defended or resolved past litigation and disputes, we may not prevail in any ongoing or future litigation and disputes, which could adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition.
Third-party intellectual property claims asserted against us could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to enter into royalty and licensing arrangements on
unfavorable terms, prevent us from assembling or licensing certain of our products, subject us to injunctions restricting our sale of products, cause severe
disruptions to our operations or the marketplaces in which we compete or require us to satisfy indemnification commitments with our customers, including
contractual provisions under various license arrangements. In addition, we may incur significant costs in acquiring the necessary third-party intellectual property
rights for use in our products. Any of these could seriously harm our business.
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights and confidential information, including our digital content, from third-party infringers or
unauthorized copying, use or disclosure.
Although we defend our intellectual property rights and endeavor to combat unlicensed copying and use of our digital content and intellectual property rights
through a variety of techniques, preventing unauthorized use or infringement of our rights (“piracy attacks”) is inherently difficult. If our intellectual property
becomes subject to piracy attacks, our business may be harmed.
Additionally, we endeavor to protect the secrecy of our digital content, confidential information and trade secrets. If unauthorized disclosure of our trade secrets
occurs, we could potentially lose trade secret protection. The loss of trade secret protection could make it easier for third parties to compete with our products by
copying previously confidential features, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, revenue and operating margins. We also seek to protect
our confidential information and trade secrets through the use of non-disclosure agreements. However, there is a risk that our confidential information and trade
secrets may be disclosed or published without our authorization, and in these situations it may be difficult and/or costly for us to enforce our rights.
Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements not being
prevented or detected, which could affect investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial statements and could negatively impact
on our stock price and financial condition.
As a public company, we are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If we fail to abide by the applicable requirements of Section 404,
regulatory authorities, such as the SEC, could subject us to sanctions or investigation, and our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to
certify as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to an audit of our controls. Even effective internal controls can provide only
reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. Accordingly, our internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements because of their inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud.
19
During the preparation of our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2020, management identified two material weaknesses in our internal control
over financial reporting related to a lack of certain controls, or improper execution of designed control procedures, (1) for certain non-standard contracts and non-
standard contract terms and (2) over the review of internally prepared reports and analyses utilized in the financial closing process. These control deficiencies were
partially related to employee turnover, resulting in a temporary shortage of personnel with appropriate knowledge or skills to perform an effective review during
our financial statement close process. In addition, certain control deficiencies related to the completeness and review of transactions that were infrequent in nature.
These control deficiencies could have resulted in a misstatement of accounts and disclosures that could have resulted in a material misstatement of our annual or
interim consolidated financial statements that would not have been prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that these control deficiencies
constitute material weaknesses.
As further described in Item 9A, Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, we are working to remediate the material weaknesses through
the development and implementation of more formal policies, processes and documentation procedures relating to our financial reporting, the hiring of additional
accounting personnel and the training of new personnel and existing personnel in new roles on proper execution of designed control procedures. In addition, we
may engage outside consultants to advise on changes in the design of our controls and procedures or to advise on technical accounting matters.
While we believe our remediation plans described above should remediate the material weaknesses, we cannot provide assurance of when the material weaknesses
will be remediated, nor can we be certain of whether additional actions will be required or the costs of any such actions. Moreover, we cannot provide assurance
that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. While the material weaknesses discussed in Item 9A, Management's Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting, did not result in material misstatements of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements, any failure to remediate the material
weaknesses, or the identification of new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, could result in material misstatements in our financial
statements that may continue undetected, negatively impacting the public perception of the Company and our securities and cause us to fail to meet our reporting
and financial obligations or incur significant additional costs to remediate the material weaknesses, each of which could negatively affect our stock price, harm our
ability to raise capital on favorable terms in the future or otherwise have a negative impact on our financial condition.
General Risk Factors
We believe that our future success depends on our ability to deliver products and services that meet changing technology and customer needs.
Our business may be affected by rapid technological change, changes in user and customer requirements and preferences, frequent new product and service
introductions embodying new technologies and the emergence of new standards and practices, any of which could render our existing products and proprietary
technology obsolete. Accordingly, our ongoing research and development programs are intended to enable us to maintain technological leadership. We believe that
to remain competitive we must continually enhance and improve the functionality and features of our products, services and technologies. However, there is a risk
that we may not be able to:
Develop or obtain leading technologies useful in our business;
Enhance our existing products;
Develop new products, services and technologies that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of prospective customers, particularly in the
area of printer speeds and materials functionality;
Respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis; or
Recruit or retain key technology employees.
If we are unable to meet changing technology and customer needs, our competitive position, revenue, results of operations and financial condition could be
adversely affected.
If we do not generate net cash flow from operations and if we are unable to raise additional capital, our financial condition could be adversely affected
and we may not be able to execute our growth strategy.
We cannot assure you that we will generate cash from operations or other potential sources to fund future working capital needs and meet capital expenditure
requirements.
20
If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring or incurring additional debt
or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to obtain additional capital or refinance any indebtedness will
depend on, among other things, the capital markets, our financial condition at such time and the terms and conditions of any such financing or indebtedness. We
may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations.
The lack of additional capital resulting from any inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise equity or debt financing could force us to substantially
curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that any
necessary funds, if available, would be available on attractive terms or that they would not have a significantly dilutive effect on our existing stockholders. If our
financial condition were to worsen and we become unable to attract additional equity or debt financing or enter into other strategic transactions, we would not be
able to execute our growth strategy and we could become insolvent or be forced to declare bankruptcy.
Our business could be adversely impacted in the event of a failure of our information technology infrastructure or adversely impacted by a successful
cyber-attack.
We have experienced cyber security threats, threats to our information technology infrastructure and unauthorized attempts to gain access to our sensitive
information. Prior cyber-attacks directed at us have not had a material impact on our business or financial results; however, this may not continue to be the case in
the future. Cyber security assessment analyses undertaken by us have identified and prioritized steps to fortify our cyber security safeguards. We have and will
continue to implement additional security measures and processes which enhance our ability to detect and respond to a cyber-attack. We have increased our cyber
breach insurance and implemented company-wide cyber security awareness training as well as dedicated certain personnel to address this threat. Despite the
implementation of these new safeguards, there can be no assurance that we will adequately protect our information or that we will not experience any future
successful attacks. The threats we face vary from attacks common to most industries to more advanced and persistent, highly organized adversaries who target us
because of the products and services we provide. If we are unable to protect sensitive information, our customers or governmental authorities could question the
adequacy of our threat mitigation and detection processes and procedures. Due to the evolving nature of these security threats, however, the impact of any future
incident cannot be predicted.
We may need to expend significant additional resources to modify our cyber security protective measures, to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other
exposures or to make required notifications, and we may be subject to litigation and financial losses. These costs related to cyber or other security threats or
disruptions may not be fully insured or indemnified by other means. Occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect our internal operations, the services
we provide to our customers, our financial results or our reputation; or such events could result in the loss of competitive advantages derived from our research and
development efforts or other intellectual property or early obsolescence of our products and services.
Our operations could suffer if we are unable to attract and retain key management or other key employees.
Our success depends upon the performance of our senior management and other key personnel. Our senior executive team is critical to the management of our
business and operations, as well as to the development and execution of our strategy. When changes occur at our senior management level, as well as for key
personnel, we typically incur incremental costs including search costs and relocation costs. High demand exists for senior management and other key personnel
(including scientific, technical and sales personnel) in the 3D printing industry, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain such
personnel. We experience intense competition for qualified personnel.
While we intend to continue to provide competitive compensation packages to attract and retain key personnel and engage in regular succession planning for these
positions, some of our competitors for these employees have greater resources and more experience, making it difficult for us to compete successfully for key
personnel. If we cannot attract and retain sufficiently qualified technical employees for our research and development and manufacturing operations, we may be
unable to develop and commercialize new products or new applications for existing products. Furthermore, possible shortages of key personnel, including
engineers, in the regions surrounding our facilities could require us to pay more to hire and retain key personnel, thereby increasing our costs.
21
Our common stock price has been and may continue to be volatile.
The market price of our common stock has experienced, and may continue to experience, considerable volatility. Between January 1, 2019 and December 31,
2020, the trading price of our common stock has ranged from a low of $4.60 per share to a high of $14.50 per share. Numerous factors could have a significant
effect on the price of our common stock, including those described or referred to in this “Risk Factors” section of this Form 10-K, as well as, among other things:
Our perceived value in the securities markets;
Overall trends in the stock market;

ownership of shares held in the nominee name.
Dividends
22
We do not currently pay, and have not paid, any dividends on our common stock, and we currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in our business. Any
future determination as to the declaration of dividends on our common stock will be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our
earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors, including the applicable
requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which provides that dividends are payable only out of surplus or current net profits.
The payment of dividends on our common stock may be restricted by the provisions of credit agreements or other financing documents that we may enter into or
the terms of securities that we may issue from time to time. Currently, no such agreements or documents limit our declaration of dividends or payments of
dividends, other than our $200.0 million 5-year term and revolving senior secured credit facility, which limits the amount of cash dividends that we may pay in any
one fiscal year to $30.0 million.
Issuance of Unregistered Securities and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
We did not repurchase any of our equity securities in the open market during the year ended 2020, however, shares of common stock were surrendered to us for
payment of tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards pursuant to our 2015 Incentive Stock Plan. For information
regarding the securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and
Related Stockholder Matters–Equity Compensation Plans” in Item 12 of this Form 10-K. Also see Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this

Overview and Strategy
We combine customer collaboration and innovation with the expertise of our people to execute on a strategy of providing digital manufacturing solutions. These
ongoing efforts resulted in the creation of nearly 130 million production parts by our customers in 2020.
We architect solutions specific to customers’ needs through a combination of materials, hardware platforms, software and professional services – creating a path to
integrating additive into traditional production environments. As a result, manufacturers achieve design freedom, increase agility, scale production and improve
overall total cost of operation.
Digital Manufacturing Solutions for a Breadth of Industries
Our digital manufacturing solutions customers span a range of industries including Aerospace and Defense, Automotive, Dental, Durable Goods and Healthcare.
IndustrialSolutions
Aerospace and Defense: Aerospace and defense customers use our solutions to achieve manufacturing productivity improvements such as
increased speed and reliability of quality assurance and validation processes, lowered fuel costs through lightweighting and parts consolidation,
increased manufacturing productivity through innovative 3D printed casting patterns, 3D data recovery, injection-mold design and direct metal
printing of airworthy parts.
Automotive: Our production solutions are used by automotive manufacturers to develop lighter weight parts to drive down manufacturing costs,
design and produce innovative assemblies that reduce part counts, provide greater strength and efficiency and create realistic prototypes that
reduce time from the product development process.
Durable Goods: Manufacturers of durable goods use our solutions to increase factory automation and connectivity, create greater product
personalization and achieve just-in-time manufacturing. Our products and services help reduce mass production, one-size-fits-all manufacturing,

25
Accelerating Additive Manufacturing Adoption
We partner with our customers in their progression in the use of additive manufacturing to help accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing within their
existing production environments. This process focuses on the customer’s desired application in order to design the solutions to achieve their needs and address
challenges. Customers regularly engage with one of our Customer Innovation Centers (CIC), where a customized production workflow solution is designed to
accelerate the development of advanced applications by providing customers with access to solutions, domain expertise and state-of-the-art technology. The
process often includes our software as the core to the overall solution. Customers are able to scan and digitize solutions when digital files do not exist, and then
prepare their CAD file for 3D printing. This preparation includes importing part data, orienting the part on the build plate, optimizing the geometry and creating
supports to ensure the final part matches the design intent. The part is then created using our additive manufacturing hardware platforms. After printing, the part is
post-processed and our software provides inspection capabilities.
On Demand Solutions Provide Supply Chain Flexibility
Our On Demand solutions facilitate supply chain flexibility by leveraging the same production solutions available direct to customers. Our On Demand solutions
can provide single part production, or hundreds of parts, within days. Customers have access to a global network of facilities and nearly four decades of experience
in 3D printing and advanced manufacturing solutions.
Digital Factory Software
Our extensive software portfolio allows manufacturers to deliver physical products with digital precision and speed. We provide manufacturers with access to
additive technologies to create their products, streamlining manufacturing processes from digitization and design to manufacturing, inspection and production
management.
Integrated Production Solutions
Our additive manufacturing solutions can complement our customers’ traditional workflows to create a competitive advantage. Our strategic partnership with GF
Machining Solutions is designed to help more manufacturers take advantage of additive technology. This partnership combines our innovation and expertise in
additive manufacturing with GF Machining Solutions’ leadership in precision machining, enabling manufacturers to combine additive and subtractive technologies
to more efficiently produce complex metal parts within tight tolerances, and reduce total cost of operation.
COVID-19 Pandemic Response
We continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and our top priority remains the health and safety of our employees and their families and communities.
Our Crisis Response Steering Committee regularly reviews and adapts our protocols based on evolving research and guidance related to the virus. While essential
operations continue, we continue to restrict travel and meetings, publish pertinent information, and adapt to a world where many in our workforce are remote and
those coming on-site are following new safety measures. We have a multi-phase plan to return to working on-site, and remain committed to protecting our
employees, delivering for our customers and supporting our communities.
2020 Summary
Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased by 12.4%, or $79.1 million, to $557.2 million, compared to $636.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 2019. Current year revenue was adversely impacted by COVID-19, the effects of which occurred most severely at the onset of the pandemic,
in the latter part of the first quarter and into the second quarter, as many of our customers were shutdown or on a significantly reduced level of activity. The third
quarter experienced a partial return in activity, though levels remained lower than that of prior year. The fourth quarter experienced a stronger return in activity,
with results surpassing that of the prior year quarter by 2.6%.
Revenue from Healthcare increased 9.1% to $245.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $224.8 million for the year ended December 31,
2019, driven by stronger sales to the dental market. Industrial sales decreased 24.2% to $311.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $411.5
million for the year ended December 31, 2019; decreases were in all products and services across all geographies.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, total software revenue from products and services decreased by 12.7% to $86.0 million, 15.4% of total revenue, compared
to $98.5 million, 15.5% of total revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2019.
26
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased by 20.4%, or $57.2 million, to $223.4 million, compared to $280.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2019. Gross profit margin for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 40.1% and 44.1%, respectively. Gross profit margin decreased
primarily due to lower sales volume and the under absorption of supply chain overhead resulting from lower production.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased by 1.4%, or $4.7 million, to $342.3 million, compared to $337.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2019. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased by 13.5%, or $34.5 million, to $219.9 million,
compared to $254.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased by
11.0%, or $9.1 million, to $74.1 million, compared to $83.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the third quarter of 2020, we recorded a non-cash
goodwill impairment charge of $48.3 million. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion. No similar
charge was recorded in the prior year. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, our lower operating expenses reflect reduced hiring and lower travel expenses
incurred in the current year, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as savings achieved in the current year from cost restructuring activities, including
personnel and marketing activities; partially offset by costs associated with restructuring efforts including employee severance and facility closings and related
impairment charges.
Our operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $119.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $57.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2019.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we used $20.1 million of cash from operations. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we generated $31.6 million of cash
from operations. In total, our unrestricted cash balance at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, was $75.0 million and $133.7 million, respectively. The
lower cash balance primarily resulted from $20.1 million for operations, $26.8 million for repayments of debt, $12.5 million for payments to purchase
noncontrolling interests and $13.6 million for capital expenditures, offset by net proceeds of $24.7 million from third quarter common stock issuances under our
At-the-Market equity offering program ("ATM Program") pursuant to which we could issue and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock up to an
aggregate gross sales price of $150 million. See Note 18 and Note 26 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion.
On August 5, 2020, we announced, in connection with the new strategic focus and organizational realignment, a restructuring plan intended to align our operating
costs with current revenue levels and better position the Company for future sustainable and profitable growth. See Note 24 in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Results of Operations for 2020 and 2019
Comparison of revenue
Current year revenue was adversely impacted by COVID-19, as many of our customers were shutdown or on a significantly reduced level of activity for a portion
of the year. Excluding impacts due to the pandemic, due to the relatively high price of certain 3D printers and a corresponding lengthy selling cycle as well as
relatively low unit volume of the higher priced printers in any particular period, a shift in the timing and concentration of orders and shipments from one period to
another can affect reported revenue in any given period.
In addition to changes in sales volumes, there are two other primary drivers of changes in revenue from one period to another: (1) the combined effect of changes
in product mix and average selling prices and (2) the impact of fluctuations in foreign currencies. As used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the price
and mix effects relate to changes in revenue that are not able to be specifically related to changes in unit volume.
We earn revenue from the sale of products and services. The products category includes 3D printers and corresponding materials, healthcare simulators and
digitizers, software licenses, 3D scanners and haptic devices. The majority of materials used in our 3D printers are proprietary. The services category includes
maintenance contracts and services on 3D printers and simulators, software maintenance, on demand solutions and healthcare services.

Consolidated revenue decreased 12.4%, predominantly due to lower products volume, driven by decreased sales of printers and corresponding materials, and lower
on demand volume. The lower demand was due to COVID-19, as many of our customers were shutdown or on a significantly reduced level of activity starting in
the latter part of the first quarter.
For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, revenue from printers contributed $99.2 million and $123.9 million, respectively. Software revenue included in
the products category contributed $43.7 million and $53.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Materials revenue included in the
products category contributed $157.1 million and $169.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Revenue from services decreased 9.1%, or $22.6 million, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily comprised of a 20.3%, or
$18.8 million, decline in our on demand manufacturing services. The remaining decrease resulted from maintenance contracts and services on printers and
simulators, software maintenance and healthcare services.
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, revenue from operations outside the U.S. was 50.6% and 51.3% of total revenue, respectively.

The decrease in total consolidated gross profit was predominantly due to the lower sales volume as previously discussed, as well as end-of-life inventory charges of
$12.4 million. Excluding the end-of-life inventory charge, total gross profit margin would have been 42.3%. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in
Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion.
Products gross profit decreased primarily due to the lower sales volume, as previously discussed, and the under absorption of supply chain overhead resulting from
lower production, as well as an end-of-life inventory charge of $12.4 million, partially offset by savings achieved in the current year from cost restructuring
activities. Excluding the end-of-life inventory charge, products gross profit margin would have been 35.3%. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in
Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased due to an employee furlough program in the second quarter of 2020; reduced hiring and lower travel
expenses incurred in the current year, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; savings achieved in the current year from cost restructuring activities, including
personnel and marketing activities; reduced litigation and legal fees incurred in the current year; and the run-out of certain intangible amortization. These savings
were partially offset by restructuring efforts, predominantly employee severance and facility closings, and related impairment charges. See Note 24 to the
consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion regarding restructuring charges. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial
statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion regarding facility closings and related impairment charges.
Research and development expenses decreased due to an employee furlough program in the second quarter of 2020, current year savings achieved from cost
restructuring activities, including personnel, originating in 2019, as well as lower overall program spend; partially offset by an increase in materials spend.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $48.3 million, related to the EMEA reporting unit, that was
ultimately due to the negative impact on the business environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in
Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion.
Loss from operations

Total interest and other expense, net, for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 resulted in additional expense due
to withholding taxes related to the Cimatron divestiture, loss on the divestiture of our Australia ODM and Wuxi Easyway businesses, as well as amounts previously
recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL") were released in the second quarter of 2020 and reclassified to "Interest and other expense, net,"
as a result of the reduction in the interest rate swap. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion. For
the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, losses on equity investments were recorded in both periods to "Other expense, net".
Benefit and provision for income taxes
We recorded a $6.2 million and a $4.5 million provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In 2020, our provision reflected $1.8 million in U.S. tax expense and $4.4 million of tax expense in foreign jurisdictions. In 2019, our provision reflected $0.3
million in U.S. tax benefit and $4.9 million of tax expense in foreign jurisdictions.
During 2020 and 2019, we concluded that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will not be realized in certain jurisdictions, including the U.S. and
certain foreign jurisdictions; therefore, we have a valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets on our consolidated balance sheets totaling $123.1
million and $109.6 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
For further discussion, see Note 2 and Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In doing so, we review and analyze our
current cash on hand, the number of days our sales are outstanding, inventory turns, capital expenditure commitments and accounts payable turns. Our cash
requirements primarily consist of funding working capital and capital expenditures.
31
Cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents, and other sources of liquidity such as bank credit facilities and issuing equity or debt securities, are expected
to be available and sufficient to meet foreseeable cash requirements. We hold a 5-year $100.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) and a
5-year $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility,” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Senior Credit Facility”) to
support working capital and general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2020, we have availability under the Revolving Facility of $62.0 million, and an
outstanding balance on the Term Facility of $21.4 million. For additional information on the Senior Credit Facility, see Note 12 to the consolidated financial
statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
On January 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Cimatron Ltd., the subsidiary that operated the
Company’s Cimatron integrated CAD/CAM software for tooling business and its GibbsCAM CNC programming software business, for approximately $64.2
million, after certain adjustments and excluding $9.2 million of cash amounts transferred to the purchaser. See Note 26 to the consolidated financial statements in
Item 8 of this Form 10-K. A portion of the proceeds from the sale were used to repay the outstanding balance on the Term Facility
Cash held outside the U.S. at December 31, 2020 was $49.7 million, or 66.2% of total cash and cash equivalents, compared to $75.7 million, or 56.5% of total cash
and cash equivalents at December 31, 2019. As our previously unremitted earnings have been subjected to U.S. federal income tax, we expect any repatriation of
these earnings to the U.S. would not incur significant federal and state taxes. However, these dividends are subject to foreign withholding taxes that are estimated
to result in the Company incurring tax costs in excess of the cost to obtain cash through other means. Cash equivalents are comprised of funds held in money
market instruments and are reported at their current carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments. We strive to
minimize our credit risk by investing primarily in investment grade, liquid instruments and limit exposure to any one issuer depending upon credit quality. See
Cashflow” discussion below.
Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 69 at December 31, 2020, compared to 67 days for the year at December 31, 2019. Accounts receivable more than 90 days past
due decreased to 6.9% of gross receivables at December 31, 2020, from 12.1% at December 31, 2019. We review specific receivables periodically to determine the
appropriate reserve for accounts receivable.
The majority of our inventory consists of finished goods, including products, materials and service parts. Inventory also consists of raw materials for certain
printers and service products. Inventory balances may fluctuate during cycles of new product launch, commercialization and timing of ramp up of production and
sales of products.
The changes that make up the other components of working capital not discussed above resulted from the ordinary course of business. Differences between the
amounts of working capital item changes in the cash flow statement and the balance sheet changes for the corresponding items are primarily the result of foreign
currency translation adjustments.
Cash flow
Cash flow from operations
Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $20.1 million and cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December
31, 2019 was $31.6 million. Excluding non-cash charges from depreciation and amortization of $44.6 million, stock-based compensation of $17.7 million and
other expenses of $73.6 million, the net loss used cash of $13.7 million and provided cash of $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December
31, 2019, respectively. Non-cash charges generally consist of depreciation, amortization, inventory obsolescence, stock-based compensation and goodwill
impairment.
Working capital requirements used cash of $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and working capital improvements provided cash of $25.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, drivers of working capital related to cash outflows were an increase in inventory
and prepaid expenses and other current assets and a decrease in accounts payable; partially offset by an increase in accrued and other liabilities and deferred
revenue and customer deposits.
32
Cash flow from investing activities
The primary outflow of cash from investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 relate to purchases of noncontrolling interests and capital
expenditures. Purchases of noncontrolling interests were $10.0 million, related to Robtec, and $2.5 million, related to Wuxi Easyway, for the year ended December
31, 2020. See Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion. Capital expenditures were $13.6 million and
$24.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The lower expenditures in 2020 reflect the reduced spending due to the lower
revenue volume because of the pandemic.
Cash flow from financing activities
Cash used in financing activities was $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, while cash provided by financing activities was $18.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2019. The primary outflow of cash for the year ended December 31, 2020 relates to repayment of the Term Facility and settlements of stock-
based compensation, partially offset by net proceeds from issuances of common stock under our ATM Program and proceeds from an inventory financing
agreement. The primary source of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019 relates to borrowing on the Term Facility, partially offset by repayments under the
Prior Credit Agreement and Term Facility and settlement of stock-based compensation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and do not utilize any “structured debt,” “special purpose” or similar unconsolidated entities for liquidity or financing
purposes.

and insurance. For further discussion, see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
b. Includes amounts committed under legally enforceable agreements for goods and services with defined terms as to quantity, price and timing of delivery. For further

Other Contractual Commitments
Credit facilities
On February 27, 2019, we entered into the Senior Credit Facility, which replaced the Prior Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility were
used to refinance the existing indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement and were used to support working capital and for general corporate purposes. For
further discussion of the Senior Credit Facility, see Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
We were in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

33
Indemnification
In the normal course of business we periodically enter into agreements to indemnify customers or suppliers against claims of intellectual property infringement
made by third parties arising from the use of our products. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions have not been significant. We are unable
to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on our future results of operations.
To the extent permitted under Delaware law, we indemnify our directors and officers for certain events or occurrences while the director or officer is, or was,
serving at our request in such capacity, subject to limited exceptions. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these
indemnification obligations is unlimited; however, we have directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage that may enable us to recover future amounts paid, subject
to a deductible and to the policy limits.
Financial Instruments
We conduct business in various countries using both the functional currencies of those countries and other currencies to effect cross border transactions. As a
result, we are subject to the risk that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the dates that those transactions are entered into and their respective settlement
dates will result in a foreign exchange gain or loss. When practicable, we endeavor to match assets and liabilities in the same currency on our balance sheet and
those of our subsidiaries in order to reduce these risks. We also, when we consider it to be appropriate, enter into foreign currency contracts to hedge exposures
arising from those transactions. We had $101.8 million and $102.4 million in notional foreign exchange contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively. The fair value of these contracts was not material. For our hedges of foreign exchange rates, we have elected to not prepare and maintain the
documentation to qualify for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and therefore, changes in fair value are recognized in
interest and other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and, depending on the fair value at the end of the reporting
period, derivatives are recorded either in prepaid and other current assets or in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates on outstanding debt instruments. For those instruments that qualify and
where we elect to prepare and maintain the documentation to qualify for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815, “DerivativesandHedging,” related gains and
losses (realized or unrealized) related to derivative instruments are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified into earnings
when the underlying transaction is recognized in net earnings and, depending on the fair value at the end of the reporting period, derivatives are recorded either in
prepaid and other current assets or in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
We do not hedge for trading or speculative purposes, and our foreign currency contracts are generally short-term in nature, typically maturing in 90 days or less.
See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). In doing so, we have to make
estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, gains and losses, as well as related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. In some cases, we could reasonably have used different accounting policies and estimates. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates
are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. To the extent that there are material
differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected. We base our estimates on past experience
and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. We refer to accounting
estimates of this type as critical accounting policies and estimates, which we discuss further below. We have reviewed our critical accounting policies and
estimates with the audit committee of our board of directors.
Please see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a summary of significant accounting policies and the effect on our
financial statements.
34
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to
receive in exchange for those products or services. A majority of our revenue is recognized at the point in time when products are shipped or services are delivered
to customers.
We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate
performance obligations. Many of its contracts with customers include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each
performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation
in a contract. For the majority of items, we estimate SSP using historical transaction data. We use a range of amounts to estimate SSP when we sell each of the
products and services separately and need to determine whether there is a discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services. In
instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the product or service is not sold separately, we determine the SSP using information that may
include market conditions and other observable inputs.
In some circumstances, we have more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers,
geographic region or other factors. In these instances, we may use information such as the size of the customer and geographic region in determining the SSP.
The determination of SSP is an ongoing process and information is reviewed regularly in order to ensure SSP reflects the most current information or trends.
The nature of our marketing incentives may lead to consideration that is variable. Judgment is exercised at contract inception to determine the expected value of the
contract and resulting transaction price. Ongoing assessments are performed to determine if updates are needed to the original estimates.
See Note 2 and Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
In evaluating the collectability of our accounts receivable, we assess a number of factors, including specific customers’ abilities to meet their financial obligations
to us, the length of time receivables are past due and historical collection experience. Based on these assessments, we may record a reserve for specific customers,
as well as a general reserve and allowance for returns and discounts. If circumstances related to specific customers change, or economic conditions deteriorate such
that our past collection experience is no longer relevant, our estimate of the recoverability of our accounts receivable could be further reduced from the levels
provided for in the consolidated financial statements.
We evaluate specific accounts for which we believe a customer may have an inability to meet their financial obligations (for example, aging over 90 days past due
or bankruptcy). In these cases, we use our judgment, based on available facts and circumstances, and record a specific reserve for that customer to reduce the
receivable to an amount we expect to collect. These specific reserves are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amount
reserved.
Income taxes
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our
provision for income taxes.
Although we believe we have adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be
different. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent
that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes and the effective tax
rate in the period in which such determination is made.
The provision for income taxes includes the effect of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate as well as the related net interest
and penalties. In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) and other tax
authorities which may assert assessments against us. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations and assessments to
determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.
35
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method.
The inventory reserve is a critical estimate as there is rapid technological change in our industry impacting the market for our products and there is significant
judgment in estimating the amount of spare parts to keep on hand to service previously sold printers for periods of up 10 or more years.
See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Goodwill
We review long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of assets held for use based on a review of undiscounted
projected cash flows. Impairment losses, where identified, are measured as the excess of the carrying value of the long-lived asset over its estimated fair value as
determined by discounted projected cash flows.
Goodwill represents the purchase price paid in excess of the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. We review
goodwill for impairment annually or when circumstances indicate that the likelihood of an impairment is greater than 50%. Such circumstances include a
significant adverse change in the business climate for one of our reporting units or a decision to dispose of a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting
unit. The test for goodwill impairment compares the fair value of each of reporting unit to its respective carrying value. The process requires a significant level of
estimation and use of judgment by management, particularly the estimate of the fair value of our reporting units. Our reporting units are Americas, EMEA and
APAC.
We estimate the fair value of our reporting units based primarily on the discounted projected cash flows of the underlying operations, which requires us to make
assumptions about estimated cash flows, including profit margins, long-term forecasts, discount rates and terminal growth rates. We developed these assumptions
based on the market and geographic risks unique to each reporting unit.
Our EMEA, APAC and Americas reporting units carry approximately $127.6 million, $34.2 million and zero of goodwill, respectively, as of December 31, 2020.
Goodwill in the Americas region was written off in 2015. The net carrying values of our long-lived assets in the EMEA, APAC, and Americas regions are
approximately $49.2 million, $5.5 million, and $48.8 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2020, we experienced a triggering event due to a drop in our stock price, which ultimately had been negatively impacted by the business
environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and performed a quantitative analysis for potential impairment of our goodwill and long-lived asset balances.
Based on available information and analysis as of September 30, 2020, we determined the carrying value of the EMEA reporting unit exceeded its fair value and
recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $48.3 million. We determined the fair value of the Americas and APAC reporting units exceeded their carrying
values and the carrying value of our long-lived assets is recoverable for all reporting units.
Fair value was determined using a combination of an income approach, which estimates fair value based upon projections of future revenues, expenses, and cash
flows discounted to its present value, and a market approach. The valuation methodology and underlying financial information included in the Company's
determination of fair value required significant judgments by management. The principal assumptions used in the Company's discounted cash flow analysis
consisted of (a) the long-term projections of future financial performance and (b) the weighted-average cost of capital of market participants, adjusted for the risk
attributable to the Company and the industry in which it operates. Under the market approach, the principal assumption included an estimate for a control premium.
We conducted our annual impairment testing for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 as of November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There was no
additional goodwill impairment for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
36
Contingencies
We record an estimated loss from a contingency when information indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the
date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounting for contingencies requires us to use our judgment and the
ultimate resolution of our exposure related to these matters may change as further facts and circumstances become known.
See Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption
and expected impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks from fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, which may adversely affect our results
of operations and financial condition. We seek to minimize these risks through regular operating and financing activities and, when we consider it to be
appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative
purposes.
Interest rates
Our earnings exposure related to movements in interest rates is primarily derived from variable interest rate borrowings. At December 31, 2020, we had
$21.4 million in variable-rate debt, of which $6.4 million was not subject to interest rate swap agreements. A hypothetical interest rate change of 10% would not
have a material impact on annualized interest expense.
Foreign exchange rates
Because we conduct our operations in many areas of the world involving transactions denominated in a variety of currencies, our results of operations as expressed
in U.S. dollars may be significantly affected by fluctuations in rates of exchange between currencies. These fluctuations could be significant. In 2020,
approximately 50.6% of our net sales and a significant portion of our costs were denominated in currencies other than the dollar. We generally are unable to adjust
our non-dollar local currency sales prices to reflect changes in exchange rates between the dollar and the relevant local currency. As a result, changes in exchange
rates between the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, South Korean won or other currencies in which we receive sale proceeds and the dollar have a direct impact
on our operating results. There is normally a time lag between our sales and collection of the related sales proceeds, exposing us to additional currency exchange
rate risk.
When practicable, we endeavor to match assets and liabilities in the same currency on our U.S. balance sheet and those of our subsidiaries in order to reduce these
risks. We also, when we consider it appropriate, enter into foreign currency contracts to hedge exposures arising from those transactions.
At December 31, 2020, a hypothetical change of 10% in foreign currency exchange rates would cause a change in revenue of approximately $24.1 million,
assuming all other variables remained constant.
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies. At December 31, 2020, we had notional forward exchange
contracts outstanding of $101.8 million. We believe these foreign currency forward contracts and the offsetting underlying commitments, when taken together, do
not create material market risk.
Commodity prices
We are exposed to price volatility related to raw materials and energy products in conjunction with our printer assembly and print materials blending processes.
Generally, we acquire such components at market prices and do not use financial instruments to hedge commodity prices. At December 31, 2020, a hypothetical
10% change in commodity prices for raw materials would cause a change to cost of sales of approximately $5.1 million.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Not applicable.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of December 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded as of December 31, 2020 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level because of material weaknesses
described below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control framework and processes were
designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded properly to allow for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and
that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a
material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Further, because of changing conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework described in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Because of the material weaknesses described
below, our management believes that, as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
During the preparation and audit of our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2020, we and our independent registered public accounting firm
identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to a lack of certain controls, or improper execution of designed control
procedures, (1) for certain non-standard contracts and non-standard contract terms and (2) over the review of internally prepared reports and analyses utilized in the
financial closing process. These control deficiencies were partially related to employee turnover, resulting in a temporary shortage of personnel with appropriate
knowledge or skills to perform an effective review during our financial statement close process. In addition, certain control deficiencies related to the completeness
and review of transactions that were infrequent in nature.
38
While these control deficiencies did not result in material misstatements of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements, they did result in immaterial
out-of-period adjustments that were recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Material weaknesses create a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of account balances or disclosures in annual or interim consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.
Accordingly, our management concluded that the control deficiencies represent material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and, therefore,
our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP, which audited the 2020 consolidated financial statements included in this Form
10-K, has expressed an adverse opinion on the operating effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. BDO USA, LLP’s report appears
on pages F-2 to F-6 of this Form 10-K.
Remediation Plan
We are working to remediate the material weaknesses through the development and implementation of more formal policies, processes and documentation
procedures relating to our financial reporting as well as the hiring of additional accounting personnel and the training of new personnel and existing personnel in
new roles on proper execution of designed control procedures. In addition, we may engage outside consultants to advise on changes in the design of our controls
and procedures or to advise on technical accounting matters. We believe that our remediation plan will be sufficient to remediate the identified material
weaknesses and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. However, as we continue to evaluate, and work to improve, our internal control over
financial reporting, management may determine that additional measures to address control deficiencies or modifications to the remediation plan are necessary.
Therefore, we cannot assure you when the Company will remediate such weaknesses, nor can we be certain that additional actions will not be required or the costs
of any such additional actions. Moreover, we cannot assure you that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
The material weaknesses described above were identified after December 31, 2020. The Company is in the process of implementing certain changes in its internal
controls to remediate the material weaknesses described above. The implementation of the material aspects of this remediation began in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2021; therefore, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 3D Systems Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020,
and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company's internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and our report dated March 5, 2021 expressed an adverse opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect
to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and
(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on
the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the
critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Assessment of Goodwill Recoverability
As described in Notes 2 and 9 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, goodwill totaled $161.8 million as of December 31, 2020. The carrying values
of goodwill for the Europe and Middle East (“EMEA”), Asia Pacific (“APAC”), and Americas reporting units were $127.6 million, $34.2 million, and $0,
respectively, as of December 31, 2020. The Company performs an annual assessment of the recoverability of its goodwill during the fourth quarter, and also
performs an assessment on an interim basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may exceed its fair value.
As a result of triggering events identified by the Company during the first and third quarters of 2020, including the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on its revenue
and earnings, the Company performed interim goodwill impairment tests in each of these quarterly periods. One of the valuation methods utilized by the Company
to estimate the fair value of its reporting units is based on the discounted projected cash flows of the underlying operations. At September 30, the Company
recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $48.3 million reducing the carrying value of goodwill in the EMEA reporting unit as a result of an interim goodwill
impairment assessment performed during the third quarter of the fiscal year.
We identified the evaluation of goodwill for impairment for the EMEA reporting unit as of March 31 and as of September 30 as a critical audit matter. The
determination of the fair value of the reporting unit requires management to estimate the future cash flows which include significant judgments about revenues,
profit margins, long-term operating forecasts, country-specific risk premiums, terminal growth rates, and discount rates. These judgments are subject to inherent
economic and other uncertainties, including the projected impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, and changes in the mix of sales and ordering patterns from certain
enterprise customers. Auditing management’s significant assumptions used in the assessment of the recoverability of goodwill involved especially challenging and
subjective auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address these matters, including the extent of specialized skill or knowledge
needed.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
Testing the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to management’s forecasting process, including controls over the data, inputs, and
assumptions utilized to determine the fair value of the EMEA reporting unit, including the assessment of historical information utilized, revenues, profit
margins, long-term operating forecasts, terminal growth rates, and discount rates.
Evaluating management’s ability to forecast and the reasonableness of management’s assumptions used to develop cash flow forecasts and projections by
comparing them to prior period forecasts, historical operating performance, internal and external communications made by the Company, guidance
released by customers and competitors, and forecasted information included in industry reports, including external reports related to forecasted economic
recovery from COVID-19 related business disruptions.
Testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of the underlying data used in the discounted cash flow analysis.
Performing sensitivity analyses to assess the impact that fluctuations in the projected growth rates might have on the estimated fair value of the reporting
unit.
Utilizing professionals with specialized skills and knowledge in valuation to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of the country-specific risk premium,
terminal growth rate, and discount rate assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the EMEA reporting unit.
Revenue from Collaboration and Licensing Agreements
As described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised products or services is transferred
to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company recognized
approximately $6.9 million related to collaboration arrangements with customers for the year ended December 31, 2020. The nature of the activities performed,
and consideration exchanged through the Company’s collaborative agreements, varies such that certain agreements meet the definition of customer relationships
for which revenue is recorded, while others do not meet this definition. The Company’s collaborative revenue contracts may contain multiple performance
obligations and may contain fees for licensing, research and development services, contingent milestone payments upon achievement of developmental contractual
criteria, and/or royalty fees based on the licensees' product revenue.
F-3
We identified revenue recognition from collaborative agreements with customers as a critical audit matter. Management makes significant judgments in identifying
customer relationships and in determining revenue recognition for its collaborative agreements with customers, including the evaluation of distinct performance
obligations, the identification and evaluation of material rights, the estimation of variable consideration, and the determination of the pattern of transfer of control
for each distinct performance obligation. Auditing management’s judgments and estimates required significant audit effort and auditor subjectivity and in addition,
as described in the “Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section above, a material weakness was identified that encompasses this matter.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
Assessing the completeness of collaboration arrangements that require assessment for proper accounting treatment by inspecting Company press releases,
Committee meeting minutes, and credits within Research & Development expense general ledger accounts.
Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s judgments to determine whether customer relationships exist in its collaborative arrangements.
Examining a sample of revenue contracts and other source documents to test management's identification of significant terms for completeness and
assessing the appropriateness of the treatment for such terms, including the identification of distinct performance obligations, material rights, and variable
consideration.
Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s judgments and estimates to calculate variable consideration, and the timing of recognizing the related
revenue subject to any constraints.
Evaluating the appropriateness of management’s determination of whether identified performance obligations meet the criteria for over-time revenue
recognition.
Evaluating the appropriateness of the method used to recognize revenue and testing the relevant inputs and assumptions to the revenue recognition
calculations.
We have served as the Company's auditor since 2003.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Shareholders and Board of Directors
3D Systems Corporation
Rock Hill, South Carolina
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited 3D System Corporation’s (the “Company’s”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in
InternalControl–IntegratedFramework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). In our
opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the COSO
criteria.
We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on management’s statements referring to any corrective actions taken by the Company after the date
of management’s assessment.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance
sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as “the financial statements”) and our report
dated March 5, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Item 9A, Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit
included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Material weaknesses regarding
management’s failure to design and maintain controls over the identification and review of contracts with financial accounting implications and the financial
reporting and close process have been identified and described in management’s assessment. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature,
timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2020 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 5, 2021 on those
financial statements.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
F-5
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

(1) Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 3D Systems Corporation and all majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which a controlling
interest is maintained (“3D Systems” or the “Company” or “we” or “us”). A non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is considered an ownership interest in a
majority-owned subsidiary that is not attributable to the parent. We include noncontrolling interests as a component of total equity in the consolidated balance
sheets and the net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests is presented as an adjustment from net loss used to arrive at net loss attributable to 3D
Systems Corporation in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Our annual reporting period is the calendar year.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.
Our operations in North America and South America (collectively referred to as "Americas"), Europe and the Middle East (collectively referred to as "EMEA")
and the Asia Pacific region ("APAC") expose us to risks associated with public health crises and epidemics/pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. While
the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Company’s reported results for the year ended December 31, 2020, we are unable to predict the longer-term impact that
the pandemic may have on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The extent to which our operations may be impacted by the
dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including
new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact.
Furthermore, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to, and volatility in, the financial markets remain
unknown.
All dollar amounts presented in the accompanying footnotes are presented in thousands, except for per share information.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience, currently available information and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable
under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 606,RevenuefromContractswithCustomers,” which we adopted
on January 1, 2018, using the modified-retrospective method. Collaborative revenue contracts in which the collaboration partner meets the definition of a customer
are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 606, otherwise recorded in accordance with ASC 808. See Note 4 for further discussion.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and temporary investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired.
F-12
Cash and cash equivalents by geographic region for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019 were as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands) 2020 2019
Americas $ 27,562 $ 63,374
EMEA 24,875 $ 44,283
APAC 22,573 $ 26,008
Total $ 75,010 $ 133,665
Investments
Investments in non-consolidated affiliates (20-50 percent owned companies and joint ventures) are accounted for using the equity method. Investments through
which we are not able to exercise significant influence over the investee and which we do not have readily determinable fair values are generally accounted for
under the cost method. We did not hold any equity method investments at December 31, 2020 or 2019.
We assess declines in the fair value of investments to determine whether such declines are other-than-temporary. Other-than-temporary impairments of
investments are recorded to interest and other expense, net, in the period in which they become impaired.
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we recorded impairment charges of $2,361 and $927, respectively, related to certain cost-method investments.
The aggregate carrying amount of all investments accounted for under the cost method totaled $5,016 and $8,327 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively,
and is included in other assets, net, on our consolidated balance sheets.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. In evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, we assess a number
of factors, including specific customers’ ability to meet their financial obligations to us, the length of time receivables are past due and historical collection
experience. Based on these assessments, we may record a reserve for specific customers, as well as a general reserve and allowance for returns and discounts. If
circumstances related to specific customers change, or economic conditions deteriorate such that our past collection experience is no longer relevant, our estimate
of the recoverability of accounts receivable could be further reduced from the levels provided for in the consolidated financial statements.
The following presents the changes in the balance of our allowance for doubtful accounts:
Year Ended Item
Balance at beginning
of year
Additions charged to
expense Other
Balance at end of
year
2020 Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 8,762 $ 457 $ (4,827) $ 4,392
2019 Allowance for doubtful accounts 8,423 1,308 (969) 8,762
2018 Allowance for doubtful accounts 10,258 1,824 (3,659) 8,423
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method.
F-13
Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
We review long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed for the carrying value of assets held for use based on a review of undiscounted
projected cash flows. Impairment losses, where identified, are measured as the excess of the carrying value of the long-lived asset over its estimated fair value as
determined by discounted projected cash flows. No impairment charges for intangible assets with finite lives were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2020
and 2019.
Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not
amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually on November 30 of each year, and is tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or
circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level, with all goodwill
assigned to a reporting unit.
Our reporting units are Americas, EMEA and APAC. We completed the required annual goodwill impairment test as of November 30, 2020. The goodwill
impairment test compared the fair value of each reporting unit to their carrying value. We estimated the fair value of our reporting units based primarily on the
discounted projected cash flows of the underlying operations. The estimated fair value for each of our reporting units was in excess of their respective carrying
values as of December 31, 2020.
For a summary of our goodwill by reporting unit and discussion of goodwill impairment in 2020, see Note 9.
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
Once management has committed to disposal of a component of the Company and it is probable of being completed within one year, the assets and liabilities are
reclassified as held for sale and net income continues to be reported as from continuing operations, unless it meets requirements to be reclassified as a discontinued
operation. See Note 3.
Contingencies
We follow the provisions of ASC 450,Contingencies,” which requires that an estimated loss from a loss contingency be accrued by a charge to income if it is
both probable that an asset has been impaired or that a liability has been incurred and that the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Foreign Currency Translation
Local currencies generally are considered the functional currencies outside the United States. Assets and liabilities for operations in local-currency environments
are translated at month-end exchange rates of the period reported. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates of each applicable month.
Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices, which may adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition. We seek to minimize these risks through regular operating and financing activities and, when we consider it to be appropriate,
through the use of derivative financial instruments. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates on outstanding debt instruments. For those instruments that qualify and
where we elect to prepare and maintain the documentation to qualify for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815, “DerivativesandHedging,” related gains and
losses (realized or unrealized) related to derivative instruments are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified into earnings
when the underlying transaction is recognized in net earnings and, depending on the fair value at the end of the reporting period, derivatives are recorded either in
prepaid and other current assets or in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
F-14
We and our subsidiaries conduct business in various countries using both their functional currencies and other currencies to effect cross border transactions. As a
result, we and our subsidiaries are subject to the risk that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the dates that those transactions are entered into and their
respective settlement dates will result in a foreign exchange gain or loss. When practicable, we endeavor to match assets and liabilities in the same currency on our
U.S. balance sheet and those of our subsidiaries in order to reduce these risks. We, when we consider it to be appropriate, enter into foreign currency contracts to
hedge the exposure arising from those transactions. See Note 13. For our hedges of foreign exchange rates and commodity prices, we have elected to not prepare
and maintain the documentation to qualify for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815,DerivativesandHedging,” and therefore, changes in fair value are
recognized in interest and other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and, depending on the fair value at the end of the
reporting period, derivatives are recorded either in prepaid and other current assets or in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
We are exposed to credit risk if the counterparties to such transactions are unable to perform their obligations. However, we seek to minimize such risk by entering
into transactions with counterparties that are believed to be creditworthy financial institutions.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share
include shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and stock-based awards where the conversion of such instruments would be dilutive. See Note
18.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, including trade shows, were $7,561, $13,732 and $13,562 for the years ended December 31, 2020,
2019 and 2018, respectively.
Pension costs
We sponsor a retirement benefit for one of our non-U.S. subsidiaries in the form of a defined benefit pension plan. Accounting standards require the cost of
providing this pension benefit be measured on an actuarial basis. Actuarial gains and losses resulting from both normal year-to-year changes in valuation
assumptions and differences from actual experience are deferred and amortized. The application of these accounting standards require us to make assumptions and
judgements that can significantly affect these measurements. Our critical assumptions in performing these actuarial valuations include the selection of the discount
rate to determine the present value of the pension obligations that affects the amount of pension expense recorded in any given period. Changes in the discount rate
could have a material effect on our reported pension obligations and related pension expense. See Note 17.
Equity Compensation Plans
We recognize compensation expense for our stock-based compensation programs, which include stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSU”) and
performance shares. For service-based awards, stock-based compensation is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the awards expected to vest and
recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award. For stock options and awards with market conditions, compensation cost is
determined at the individual tranche level. We recognize forfeitures when they occur.
Income Taxes
We and the majority of our domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, while four of our domestic entities file separate U.S. federal
income tax returns. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries file income tax returns in their respective jurisdictions.
F-15
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax benefit
carryforwards. Deferred income tax liabilities and assets at the end of each period are determined using enacted tax rates.
We establish a valuation allowance for those jurisdictions in which the expiration date of tax benefit carryforwards or projected taxable earnings leads us to
conclude that it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The evaluation process includes the consideration of all available evidence
regarding historical results and future projections including the estimated timing of reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and potential tax planning
strategies. Once a valuation allowance is established, it is maintained until a change in factual circumstances gives rise to sufficient income of the appropriate
character and timing that will allow a partial or full utilization of the deferred tax asset.
In accordance with ASC 740,IncomeTaxes,” the impact of an uncertain tax position on our income tax returns is recognized at the largest amount that is more
likely than not to be required to be recognized upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.
We include interest and penalties accrued in the consolidated financial statements as a component of income tax expense.
See Note 21 for further discussion.
Operating and Finance Leases
We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Some leases include the options to purchase, terminate or extend for one or more years; these options
are included in the right of use ("ROU") asset and liability lease term when it is reasonably certain an option will be exercised. Our leases do not contain any
material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, therefore we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date
to determine the present value of the future lease payments.
Certain of our leases include variable costs. Variable costs include non-lease components that were incurred based upon actual terms rather than contractually fixed
amounts. In addition, variable costs are incurred for lease payments that are indexed to a change in rate or index. Because the ROU asset recorded on the balance
sheet was determined based upon factors considered at the commencement date, subsequent changes in the rate or index that were not contemplated in the ROU
asset balances recorded on the balance sheet result in variable expenses being incurred when paid during the lease term. See Note 5.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
RecentlyAdoptedAccountingStandards
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13,MeasurementofCreditLosseson
FinancialInstruments (“ASU 2016-13”), as revised in July 2018, which provides guidance regarding the measurement of credit losses for financial assets and
certain other instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including trade and other receivables, debt securities, net investment in sales
type and direct financing leases, and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The new guidance requires companies to replace the current incurred loss impairment
methodology with a methodology that measures all expected credit losses for financial assets based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and
supportable forecasts. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2020. The implementation did not have a material effect on our financial
position or results of operations.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-GoodwillandOther(Topic350),SimplifyingtheTestforGoodwillImpairment” (“ASU 2017-
04”), which eliminates the performance of Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In performing its annual or interim impairment testing, an entity will instead
compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize any impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds
the reporting unit’s fair value. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting
unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2020.
F-16
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, "CollaborativeArrangements(ASC808),ClarifyingtheInteractionbetweenASC808andASC606" (“ASU
2018-18”). This ASU clarified when transactions between collaborative participants are in the scope of ASC 606. The ASU also provides some guidance on
presentation of transactions not in the scope of ASC 606. After adoption during the fourth quarter of 2020 the Company determined it was appropriate to recast the
presentation of our previously reported statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company acknowledges this standard should
have been adopted January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not change the Company's previously reported net loss or loss from operations for the years
ended December 31, 2019 or 2018 or any individual quarter therein and the effect on the individual quarters in 2020 was immaterial. The following schedule
depicts the annual effect of the adoption on our previously reported statements of operations:

RecentlyIssuedAccountingStandards
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12,IncomeTaxes(Topic740)-SimplifyingtheAccountingforIncomeTaxes,” which simplifies the accounting
for income taxes by eliminating some exceptions to the general approach in ASC 740, Income Taxes. It also clarifies certain aspects of the existing guidance to
promote more consistent application. This standard is effective for calendar-year public business entities in 2021 and interim periods within that year, and early
adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during 2020, have had or are expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
(3) Dispositions
In November 2020, we sold our Australia ODM business in an asset sale for $685. The carrying value of the assets, including net working capital and allocable
goodwill, was $1,482. In December 2020, we sold our Wuxi Easyway business in an asset sale for $79. The carrying value of the assets, including net working
capital and allocable goodwill, was $3,806. Recognized losses of $4,524 were included in interest and other expense, net on the consolidated statement of
operations.
F-17
On January 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Cimatron Ltd.("Cimatron"), the subsidiary that
operated the Company’s Cimatron integrated CAD/CAM software for tooling business and its GibbsCAM CNC programming software business for approximately
$64,200, after certain adjustments and excluding $9,161 of cash amounts transferred to the purchaser. The assets and liabilities of Cimatron were reclassified to
held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. See Note 26.

(4) Revenue
We account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “RevenuefromContractswithCustomers,” which we adopted on January 1, 2018, using the modified-
retrospective method.
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in ASC Topic 606. A contract’s
transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
At December 31, 2020, we had $111,833 of outstanding performance obligations. We expect to recognize approximately 94 percent of our remaining performance
obligations as revenue within the next twelve months, an additional 4 percent by the end of 2022 and the balance thereafter.
F-18
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to
receive in exchange for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally
capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Many of our contracts with customers include multiple performance obligations.
For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative stand-alone selling price (“SSP”). Revenue is recognized net of
allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The amount of consideration received
and revenue recognized may vary based on changes in marketing incentive programs offered to our customers. Our marketing incentive programs take many
forms, including volume discounts, trade-in allowances, rebates and other discounts.
A majority of our revenue is recognized at the point in time when products are shipped or services are delivered to customers. Please see below for further
discussion.
Hardware and Materials
Revenue from hardware and material sales is recognized when control has transferred to the customer, which typically occurs when the goods have been shipped to
the customer, risk of loss has transferred to the customer and we have a present right to payment for the hardware. In limited circumstances, when printer or other
hardware sales include substantive customer acceptance provisions, revenue is recognized either when customer acceptance has been obtained, customer
acceptance provisions have lapsed, or we have objective evidence that the criteria specified in the customer acceptance provisions have been satisfied.
Printers and certain other products include a warranty under which we provide maintenance for periods up to one year. For these initial product warranties,
estimated costs are accrued at the time of the sale of the product. These cost estimates are established using historical information on the nature, frequency and
average cost of claims for each type of printer or other product as well as assumptions about future activity and events. Revisions to expense accruals are made as
necessary based on changes in these historical and future factors.
Software
We also market and sell software tools that enable our customers to capture and customize content using our printers, design optimization and simulation software,
and reverse engineering and inspection software. Software does not require significant modification or customization and the license provides the customer with a
right to use the software as it exists when made available. Revenue from these software licenses is recognized either upon delivery of the product or of a key code
which allows the customer to download the software. Customers may purchase post-sale support. Generally, the first year is included but subsequent years are
optional. This optional support is considered a separate obligation from the software and is deferred at the time of sale and subsequently recognized ratably over
future periods.
Collaboration and Licensing Agreements
We enter into collaboration and licensing agreements with third parties. The nature of the activities to be performed and the consideration exchanged under the
agreements varies on a contract by contract basis. We evaluate these agreements to determine whether they meet the definition of a customer relationship for which
revenue is recorded. These contracts may contain multiple performance obligations and may contain fees for licensing, research and development services,
contingent milestone payments upon the achievement of developmental contractual criteria and/or royalty fees based on the licensees’ product revenue. We
determine the revenue to be recognized for these agreements based on an evaluation of the distinct performance obligations, the identification and evaluation of
material rights, the estimation of variable consideration and the determination of the pattern on transfer of control for each distinct performance obligation. The
Company recognized $6,953, $7,260 and $3,885 in revenue related to collaboration arrangements with customers for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019,
and 2018, respectively.
F-19
Services
We offer training, installation and non-contract maintenance services for our products. Additionally, we offer maintenance contracts customers can purchase at
their option. For maintenance contracts, revenue is deferred at the time of sale based on the stand-alone selling prices of these services and costs are expensed as
incurred. Deferred revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period on a straight-line basis. Revenue from training, installation and non-
contract maintenance services is recognized at the time of performance of the service.
On demand manufacturing and healthcare service sales are included within services revenue and revenue is recognized upon shipment or delivery of the parts or
performance of the service, based on the terms of the arrangement.
Terms of sale
Shipping and handling activities are treated as fulfillment costs rather than as an additional promised service. We accrue the costs of shipping and handling when
the related revenue is recognized. Our incurred costs associated with shipping and handling are included in product cost of sales.
Credit is extended, and creditworthiness is determined, based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition. New customers are generally required to
complete a credit application and provide references and bank information to facilitate an analysis of creditworthiness. Customers with a favorable profile may
receive credit terms that differ from our general credit terms. Creditworthiness is considered, among other things, in evaluating our relationship with customers
with past due balances.
Our terms of sale generally provide payment terms that are customary in the countries where we transact business. To reduce credit risk in connection with certain
sales, we may, depending upon the circumstances, require significant deposits or payment in full prior to shipment. For maintenance services, we either bill
customers on a time-and-materials basis or sell maintenance contracts that provide for payment in advance on either an annual or other periodic basis.
Significant Judgments
Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. For such arrangements, we allocate revenues to each
performance obligation based on its relative SSP.
Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation in a contract. For the majority of items, we estimate SSP using historical
transaction data. We use a range of amounts to estimate SSP when we sell each of the products and services separately and need to determine whether there is a
discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the product
or service is not sold separately, we determine the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs.
In some circumstances, we have more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers,
geographic region or other factors. In these instances, it may use information such as the size of the customer and geographic region in determining the SSP.
The determination of SSP is an ongoing process and information is reviewed regularly in order to ensure SSP reflects the most current information or trends.
The nature of our marketing incentives may lead to consideration that is variable. Judgment is exercised at contract inception to determine the most likely outcome
of the contract and resulting transaction price. Ongoing assessments are performed to determine if updates are needed to the original estimates.
F-20
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer deposits
and deferred revenues (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers.
We record a receivable when revenue is recognized at the time of invoicing, or unbilled receivables when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing. For most of our
contracts, customers are invoiced when products are shipped or when services are performed resulting in billed accounts receivables for the remainder of the owed
contract price. Unbilled receivables generally result from items being shipped where the customer has not been charged, but for which revenue had been
recognized. In our on demand manufacturing business, customers may be required to pay in full before work begins on their orders, resulting in customer deposits.
We typically bill in advance for installation, training and maintenance contracts as well as extended warranties, resulting in deferred revenue. Changes in contract
asset and liability balances were not materially impacted by any other factors for the period ended December 31, 2020.
Through December 31, 2020, we recognized revenue of $30,635 related to our contract liabilities at December 31, 2019. Through December 31, 2019, we
recognized revenue of $26,486 related to our contract liabilities at December 31, 2018. Through December 31, 2018, we recognized revenue of $37,206 related to
our contract liabilities at January 1, 2018.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would be one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general
and administrative expenses.
Revenue and Asset Concentrations
We operate as one segment and conduct our business through various offices and facilities located throughout the Americas region (United States, Canada, Brazil,
Mexico and Uruguay), EMEA region (Belgium, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom), and APAC region
(Australia, China, India, Japan and Korea). The Americas, EMEA and APAC regions have been our reporting units for the purposes of testing the recoverability of
goodwill. This test is performed on an annual basis each November 30 and more often in the occurrence of a triggering event.
Concurrent with our new strategic focus announced in August 2020, we have begun to undertake initiatives to simplify our organization by realigning the
Company’s breadth of capabilities into two key market verticals. This realignment continues to evolve, and as of December 31, 2020 we continue to pursue
initiatives that will provide reliable and complete information to our chief operating decision maker to allow him to make operational decisions around the
allocation of resources and assessing performance for these key market verticals. As of December 31, 2020, we continue to operate in one reportable segment.
Revenue by geographic region for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 were as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands) 2020 2019 2018

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, one customer accounted for approximately 13%, 11% and 13% of our consolidated revenue, respectively.
We expect to maintain our relationship with this customer.

On September 1, 2020, we closed two facilities in connection with our restructuring plan. These facilities occupied leased office space that terminates in 2024. In
conjunction with these closings, we recorded impairment charges totaling $1,627 related to our ROU assets and impairment charges totaling $1,953 related to
leasehold improvements.
During the 2020 fourth quarter, we recorded ROU assets and liabilities related to lease extensions and renewals that were entered into during the 2019 fourth
quarter, 2020 second quarter and 2020 third quarter of approximately $1,469, $2,021, and $3,467, respectively. There was not a material income statement impact
from recording these lease extensions and renewals during the 2020 fourth quarter.

inventory reserve was $20,125 and $12,812 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In June 2020, as part of our assessment of prospective sales and evaluation of inventory, we determined the end-of-life for certain product lines. The end-of-life
determination for these products reflects management's plans to focus our resources that are better aligned with our new strategic focus, as further discussed in
Note 24. As a result, for year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a charge of $10,894 to products costs of sales, primarily attributable to inventory, accessories
and inventory commitments for these products. We have ceased production for these items.

(9) Goodwill
The following are the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit:
(in thousands) Americas EMEA APAC Total
Balance at December 31, 2018 $ $ 184,020 $ 37,314 $ 221,334
Effect of foreign currency exchange rates 2,675 (833) 1,842
Balance at December 31, 2019 186,695 36,481 223,176
Dispositions and impairments (69,685) (4,699) (74,384)
Effect of foreign currency exchange rates 10,582 2,391 12,973
Balance at December 31, 2020
$ $ 127,592 $ 34,173 $ 161,765
a. Includes $21,385 of goodwill held for sale related to Cimatron in EMEA and $4,699 of goodwill related to the sale of our Australia ODM and Wuxi Easyway
businesses in APAC. See Note 3.
The effect of foreign currency exchange in this table reflects the impact on goodwill of amounts recorded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar on the financial
statements of subsidiaries in these geographic areas resulting from the yearly effect of foreign currency translation between the applicable functional currency and
the U.S. dollar.
As of September 30, 2020, we experienced a triggering event due to a drop in our stock price, which ultimately had been negatively impacted by the business
environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and performed a quantitative analysis for potential impairment of our goodwill and long-lived asset balances.
Based on available information and analysis as of September 30, 2020, we determined the carrying value of the EMEA reporting unit exceeded its fair value and
recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $48,300. We determined the fair value of the Americas and APAC reporting units exceeded their carrying
values and the carrying value of our long-lived assets is recoverable for all reporting units.
Goodwill was recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs and was determined using a combination of an income approach, which estimates
fair value based upon projections of future revenues, expenses, and cash flows discounted to its present value, and a market approach. The valuation methodology
and underlying financial information included in the Company's determination of fair value required significant judgments by management. The principal
assumptions used in the Company's discounted cash flow analysis consisted of (a) the long-term projections of future financial performance and (b) the weighted-
average cost of capital of market participants, adjusted for the risk attributable to the Company and the industry in which it operates. Under the market approach,
the principal assumption included an estimate for a control premium.
We completed our annual test of goodwill as of November 30, 2020 and determined the fair value exceeded the carrying value for all reporting units.
(10) Employee Benefits
We sponsor a Section 401(k) plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all our eligible U.S. employees. The Plan entitles eligible employees to make contributions to
the Plan after meeting certain eligibility requirements. Contributions are limited to the maximum contribution allowances permitted under the Internal Revenue
Code. We match 50.0% of contributions on the first 6.0% of the participant’s eligible compensation.
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, we expensed $2,456, $2,688 and $2,606, respectively, for matching contributions to the defined
contribution plan.

(12) Borrowings
Credit Facility
We hold a 5-year $100,000 senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) and a 5-year $100,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving
Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Senior Credit Facility”) to support working capital and general corporate purposes. The Senior Credit Facility is
guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The guarantors guarantee, among other things, all our obligations and each other guarantor's obligations under the Senior
Credit Facility. From time to time, we may be required to cause additional domestic subsidiaries to become guarantors under the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior
Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on February 26, 2024, at which time all amounts outstanding thereunder will be due and payable. However, the maturity date
of the Revolving Facility may be extended at our election with the consent of the lenders subject to the terms set forth in the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior
Credit Facility contains customary covenants, some of which require us to maintain certain financial ratios that determine the amounts available and terms of
borrowings and events of default. We were in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2020 and 2019.
F-26
The payment of dividends on our common stock is restricted under provisions of the Senior Credit Facility, which limits the amount of cash dividends that we may
pay in any one fiscal year to $30,000. We currently do not pay, and have not paid, any dividends on our common stock, and currently intend to retain any future
earnings for use in our business.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are subject to interest at varying spreads above quoted market rates and a commitment fee is paid on the total unused
commitment. At December 31, 2020, our floating interest rate was 1.90% and commitment fees for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $325 and
$374, respectively. Subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the Revolving Facility, we have the right to request up to four increases to the amount of
the Revolving Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000. As of December 31, 2020, there was $10,000 of outstanding letters of credit and $62,000 of
available borrowings under the Revolving Facility.
At December 31, 2020, we had a balance of $21,392 outstanding on the Term Facility, whereby future payments under the Term Facility are expected to be $2,051
in 2021, $3,223 in 2022, $3,517 in 2023 and $12,601 in 2024. Unamortized deferred financing costs were $123. In January 2021, the Company paid off the
remaining outstanding balances under the Term Facility with proceeds from the sale of Cimatron Ltd. See Note 26.
As a result of the Term Facility, we have exposure to floating interest rates. To manage interest expense, we entered into a floating to fixed interest rate swap to
reduce exposure to changes in floating interest rates on the Term Facility. The interest rate swap has a notional value of $15.0 million and will expire on February
26, 2024, concurrent with the Term Facility. The notional value will decline over the term of the interest rate swap as amortization payments reduce the principal
amount of the Term Facility. As a result of the interest rate swap, the percentage of total principal debt (excluding capital leases) that is subject to floating interest
rates is approximately 30%. Due to an amendment to the swap on June 30, 2020, the swap is no longer designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting treatment
purposes. See Note 13 for additional information. In January 2021, the Company terminated this agreement in connection with repayment of the Term Facility. See
Note 26.
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income totaled $400, $1,209 and $789 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Interest expense totaled $4,391, $4,442 and $1,188 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(13) Hedging Activities and Financial Instruments
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
On July 8, 2019, we entered into a $50,000 interest rate swap contract, designated as a cash flow hedge, to minimize the risk associated with the variability of cash
flows in interest payments from variable-rate debt due to fluctuations in the one-month USD-LIBOR, subject to a 0% floor, through February 26, 2024. Changes in
the interest rate swap are expected to offset the changes in cash flows attributable to fluctuations of the one-month USD-LIBOR for the interest payments
associated with our variable-rate debt.
On June 30, 2020, we executed an amendment to the swap which reduced the notional amount to $15,000 and resulted in the de-designation as a cash flow hedge.
The reduction required a mark-to-market settlement of $1,253 paid in July 2020. Amounts previously recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
("AOCL") of $1,235 were released and reclassified into Interest and other expense, net on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. Subsequent to June 2020, changes in the swap’s fair value are recognized currently in earnings and
included in the line item Interest and other expense, net and the remaining $721 in AOCL as of December 31, 2020 will be amortized to Interest and other expense,
net when those future cash flows are expected to occur.
The notional amount and fair value of the derivative on our balance sheet at December 31, 2020 are disclosed below:
(in thousands) Balance Sheet location Notional amount Fair value
December 31, 2020
Interest rate swap contract Other liabilities $ 15,000 $ (700)
December 31, 2019
Interest rate swap contract Other liabilities $ 40,000 $ (318)
F-27
Amounts released from AOCL and reclassified into Interest and other expense, net did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The net amount of AOCL expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next 12 months is
$721, as January 2021, the Company terminated this agreement in connection with repayment of the Term Facility. See Note 26.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We conduct business in various countries using both the functional currencies of those countries and other currencies to effect cross border transactions. As a
result, we are subject to the risk that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the dates that those transactions are entered into and their respective settlement
dates will result in a foreign exchange gain or loss. When practicable, we endeavor to match assets and liabilities in the same currency on our balance sheet and
those of our subsidiaries in order to reduce these risks. When appropriate, we enter into foreign currency contracts to hedge exposures arising from those
transactions. We have elected not to prepare and maintain the documentation to qualify for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815, Derivatives and
Hedging,” and therefore, all gains and losses (realized or unrealized) are recognized in Interest and other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive loss. Depending on their fair value at the end of the reporting period, derivatives are recorded either in prepaid expenses and other current
assets or in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
We had $101,781 and $102,407 in notional foreign exchange contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The fair values of these
contracts were not material.
We translate foreign currency balance sheets from each international businesses’ functional currency (generally the respective local currency) to U.S. dollars at
end-of-period exchange rates and statements of earnings at average exchange rates for each period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are a
component of other comprehensive income (loss). We do not hedge the fluctuation in reported revenue and earnings resulting from the translation of these
international operations' results into U.S. dollars.
(14) Inventory Financing Agreements
On December 1, 2018 and January 17, 2020, we entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement and Amendment One to Manufacturing Services Agreement
(together, the "Agreement"), with an assembling manufacturer to produce products on behalf of 3D Systems Corporation. During the quarter ended March 31,
2020, as part of the Agreement, we sold $12,100 of inventory to the assembling manufacturer that we have an obligation to repurchase. At December 31, 2020, our
obligation to repurchase inventory, included in Accrued and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, was $287, relating to the initial sale of inventory to
the assembly manufacturer and adjusted for transactions. The inventory sold consisted of raw materials, packaging materials and consumables representing stock
on hand related to certain product families for which the manufacturing has been outsourced to the assembling manufacturer. Although the assembling
manufacturer holds legal title, we account for the inventory similar to a product financing arrangement; therefore, the inventories sold to the assembling
manufacturer will continue to be included in Inventories on our consolidated balance sheets until processed into finished goods and sold back to us. At December
31, 2020, inventory held at assemblers was $3,889.
Additionally, as part of the Agreement, we have a commitment to purchase certain materials and supplies that the assembling manufacturer purchased from third
parties. At December 31, 2020, we had a commitment of $4,199 with the assembling manufacturer.
(15) Preferred Stock
We had 5,000 shares of preferred stock that were authorized but unissued at December 31, 2020 and 2019.
(16) Stock-Based Compensation
Effective May 19, 2004, we adopted our approved 2004 Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors, as further amended and restated on April 1, 2013 (the
“Director Plan”). On May 19, 2015, our stockholders approved the 2015 Incentive Plan of 3D Systems Corporation and further amended and restated it on May 19,
2020 to, among other things, increase the number of shares reserved for issuance by 4,860 shares (as amended and restated, the “2015 Plan”).
The 2015 Plan authorizes shares of restricted stock, RSUs, stock appreciation rights, cash incentive awards and the grant of options to purchase shares of our
common stock. The 2015 Plan also designates measures that may be used for performance awards. The Director Plan authorizes shares of restricted stock for our
non-employee directors.
F-28
Generally, awards granted vest one third each year over 3 years.
Stock-based compensation expense (income) is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income (loss). The following table details the components of stock-based compensation expense (income) recognized in net earnings in each of the
past three years:
Year Ended December 31,
(in thousands) 2020 2019 2018

Stock Options (6,363) (1,567) 4,320
Total stock-based compensation expense
$ 17,725 $ 23,587 $ 29,253
Restricted Stock
We determine the fair value of restricted stock and RSUs based on the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. We generally recognize compensation
expense related to restricted stock and RSUs on a straight-line basis over the period during which the restriction lapses. Forfeitures are recognized in the period in
which they occur. A summary of restricted stock and RSU activity during December 31, 2020 follows:

Outstanding at end of period — unvested
3,540
$ 8.81
Included in the outstanding balance above are 100 shares of restricted stock that vest under specified market conditions and 374 shares of restricted stock that vest
under specified Company performance measures. The specified market condition shares were awarded to certain employees in 2016 and were generally awarded in
two equal tranches of market condition restricted stock that immediately vests when our common stock trades at either $30 or $40 per share for ninety consecutive
calendar days.
Some RSUs are granted with a performance measure derived from non-GAAP-based management targets. Depending on our performance with respect to this
metric, the number of RSUs earned may be less than, equal to or greater than the original number of RSUs awarded, subject to a payout range.
At December 31, 2020, there was no unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards with market conditions.
At December 31, 2020, there was $21,020 of unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to all other non-vested restricted stock award shares
and units, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Stock Options
During the year ended December 31, 2016, we awarded certain employees market condition stock options under the 2015 Plan, included in the activity above, that
vest under specified market conditions. Each employee was generally awarded two equal tranches of market condition stock options that immediately vest when
our common stock trades at either $30 or $40 per share for ninety consecutive calendar days.
We recognize compensation expense related to stock options on a straight-line basis over the derived term of the awards. Forfeitures are recognized in the period in
which they occur. The fair value of stock options with market conditions is estimated using a binomial lattice Monte Carlo simulation model.

In the table above, intrinsic value is calculated as the excess, if any, between the market price of our stock on the last trading day of the year and the exercise price
of the options. Because the market price was lower than the exercise price, the intrinsic value is zero.
At December 31, 2020, there was no of unrecognized pre-tax stock-based compensation expense related to stock options.
(17) International Retirement Plan
We sponsor a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for certain employees of a non-U.S. subsidiary initiated by a predecessor of the subsidiary. We
maintain insurance contracts that provide an annuity that is used to fund the current obligations under this plan. The following table provides a reconciliation of the

(18) Net Loss Per Share
We compute basic loss per share using net loss attributable to 3D Systems Corporation and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
applicable period. Diluted loss per share incorporates the additional shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options and the release of restricted stock and
RSUs, except in such case when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 the effect of dilutive securities, including non-vested stock options and restricted stock awards/units, was
excluded from the denominator for the calculation of diluted net loss per share because we recognized a net loss for the period and their inclusion would be anti-
dilutive. Dilutive securities excluded were 3,960, 5,822 and 5,015 shares for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
On August 5, 2020, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement for an At-The-Market equity offering program (“ATM Program”) where we may issue and
sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock. Our ATM Program allowed for an aggregate gross sales price of up to a total of $150,000, depending upon
market conditions and our liquidity requirements, through Truist Securities, Inc. and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold
4,616 shares of our common stock under our ATM Program for net proceeds of $24,664, net of $849 in fees, commissions and other costs. As of December 31,
2020, we had $124,487 in availability remaining under the ATM Program, however, on January 6, 2021, we terminated the ATM Program. See Note 26.
(19) Noncontrolling Interests
As of December 31, 2020, we owned 100% of the capital and voting rights of Robtec, a service bureau and distributor of 3D printing and scanning products in
Brazil. Approximately 70% of the capital and voting rights of Robtec was acquired on November 25, 2014. On January 7, 2020, we made a payment equal to the
redemption price of $10,000 and acquired the remaining 30% of the capital and voting rights.
(20) Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the exchange price to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair value measurements use market data or assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the
risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs may be readily observable, corroborated by market data, or generally unobservable. Valuation
techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize use of unobservable inputs.
Cash equivalents, Israeli severance funds and derivatives are valued utilizing the market approach to measure fair value for financial assets and liabilities. The
market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
F-32
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:
Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2020

a. Cash equivalents include funds held in money market instruments and are reported at their current carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term
nature of these instruments and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet.
b. We partially fund a liability for our Israeli severance requirement through monthly deposits into fund accounts, the value of these contributions are recorded to non-
current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
c. Derivative instruments are reported based on published market prices for similar assets or are estimated based on published market prices for similar assets or are
estimated based on observable inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, spot and future commodity prices and spot and future exchange rates. See Note 13
for additional information on our derivative financial instruments.
We did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the year ended
December 31, 2020.
In addition to the assets and liabilities included in the above table, certain of our assets and liabilities are to be initially measured at fair value on a non-recurring
basis. This includes goodwill and other intangible assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment. For further discussion on the valuation techniques and
inputs used in the fair value measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets, see Notes 2, 8 and 9.

Effective tax rate
(4.3)% (7.0)% (4.6)%
The difference between our effective tax rate for 2020 and the federal statutory rate was 25.3 percentage points. The difference in the effective rate is primarily due
to valuation allowance changes, nondeductible impairment charges, dividends not taxable, net operating loss carryback claim, and adjustments to uncertain tax
positions.
The difference between our effective tax rate for 2019 and the federal statutory rate was 28.0 percentage points. The difference in the effective rate is primarily due
to valuation allowance changes, provisions for GILTI, prior period adjustments and adjustments to uncertain tax positions.
F-34
The difference between our effective tax rate for 2018 and the federal statutory rate was 25.6 percentage points. The difference in the effective rate is primarily due
to the impact of the Tax Act, including adjustments related to the Tax Act, the new provisions for GILTI, tax credits, adjustments to uncertain tax positions related
to statute of limitations expiration and change in valuation allowances. For the report year ending December 31, 2018, we had completed our accounting for all of
the enactment date income tax effects of the Tax Act, and we recorded an adjustment of a $1,524 tax benefit, which was offset by an adjustment to our valuation
allowance of $1,524 tax expense.
In 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no significant changes to our valuation allowance assertions. We continue to review results of operations and forecast estimates
to determine if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
The components of our net deferred income tax assets and net deferred income tax (liabilities) at December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:
(in thousands) 2020 2019

At December 31, 2020, $67,025 of our deferred income tax assets was attributable to $417,802 of gross net operating loss carryforwards, which consisted of
$223,724 of loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes, $155,366 of loss carryforwards for U.S. state income tax purposes and $38,713 of loss
carryforwards for foreign income tax purposes.
The net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes begin to expire in 2035. The net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. state income tax
purposes began to expire in 2018. In addition, certain loss carryforwards for foreign income tax purposes begin to expire in 2020 and certain other loss
carryforwards for foreign purposes do not expire.
F-35
At December 31, 2020, tax credit carryforwards included in our deferred income tax assets consisted of $6,359 of research and experimentation credit
carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes, $4,037 of research and experimentation tax credit carryforwards for U.S. state income tax purposes, $6,629 of
foreign tax credits for U.S. federal income tax purposes, $1,059 of research and experimentation tax credit carryforwards for foreign income tax purposes and $729
of other state tax credits. Certain state research and experimentation and other state credits begin to expire in 2021. We have recorded a valuation allowance related
to the U.S. federal and state tax credits.
Due to the one time transition tax, our previously unremitted earnings have been subjected to U.S. federal income tax, although, other additional taxes such as,
withholding tax, could be applicable. We intend to permanently reinvest its earnings outside the U.S. and as such, have not provided for any additional taxes on
approximately $189,699 of unremitted earnings. We believe the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is approximately $7,114.
Including interest and penalties, we decreased our unrecognized benefits by $788 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and increased our unrecognized tax
benefits by $11,223 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily related to the release of unrecognized tax benefits due to the expiration of
statute of limitations. The increase was primarily related to the net operating loss carryback claim. We do not anticipate any additional unrecognized tax benefits
during the next 12 months that would result in a material change to its consolidated financial position. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if
recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $15,380. We include interest and penalties in the consolidated financial statements as a component of income tax
expense. On February 2, 2021, the Company received two private letter rulings from the IRS, which triggered the release of a reserve for uncertain tax position of
$8,900 in the first quarter of 2021. See Note 26.

examination for a period of three to four years after filing the respective tax returns. The tax years 2015 through 2019 remain open to examination by the various
foreign taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

We have an inventory purchase commitment with an assembling manufacturer. See Note 14.
Supply commitments totaled $55,317 and $53,562 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Commitments for printer assemblies and inventory items at
December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $27,030 and $34,570, respectively. Commitments for operating costs and capital expenditures at December 31, 2020 and 2019
were $28,287 and $18,992, respectively.
F-36
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements to indemnify customers or suppliers against claims of intellectual property infringement
made by third parties arising from the use of our products. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions have not been significant, and we are
unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on its future results of operations.
To the extent permitted under Delaware law, we indemnify our directors and officers for certain events or occurrences while the director or officer is, or was,
serving at our request in such capacity, subject to limited exceptions. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these
indemnification obligations is unlimited; however, we have directors and officers insurance coverage that may enable us to recover future amounts paid, subject to
a deductible and the policy limits. There is no assurance that the policy limits will be sufficient to cover all damages, if any.
Litigation
ExportControlsandGovernmentContractsComplianceMatter
In October 2017, we received an administrative subpoena from the Bureau of Industry and Security of the Department of Commerce (“BIS”) requesting the
production of records in connection with possible violations of U.S. export control laws, including with regard to our Quickparts.com, Inc. subsidiary. In addition,
while collecting information responsive to the above-referenced subpoena, our internal investigation identified potential violations of the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) administered by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls of the Department of State (“DDTC”) and potential violations of the
Export Administration Regulations administered by the BIS.
On June 8, 2018 and thereafter, we submitted voluntary disclosures to BIS and DDTC identifying numerous potentially unauthorized exports of technical data. As
part of our ongoing review of trade compliance risks and our cooperation with the government, on November 20, 2019, we submitted to the U.S. Treasury
Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) an initial notice of voluntary disclosure regarding potential violations of economic sanctions related to
Iran. We continued to investigate this issue and filed a final disclosure with OFAC on May 20, 2020. We have and will continue to implement compliance
enhancements to our export controls, trade sanctions, and government contracting compliance program to address the issues identified through our ongoing internal
investigation and will cooperate with DDTC and BIS, as well as the U.S. Departments of Justice, Defense, Homeland Security and Treasury in their ongoing
reviews of these matters. In connection with these ongoing reviews, in August 2020, the Company received two federal grand jury subpoenas issued by the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The Company responded to these two subpoenas and will continue to fully cooperate with the U.S. Department of
Justice in the related investigation.
In addition, on July 19, 2019, we received a notice of immediate suspension of federal contracting from the United States Air Force, pending the outcome of an
ongoing investigation. The suspension applied to 3D Systems, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and was related to the potential export controls violations involving
our On Demand manufacturing business described above. Under the suspension, we were generally prohibited from receiving new federal government contracts or
subcontracts from any executive branch agency as described in the provisions of 48 C.F.R Subpart 9.4 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The suspension
allowed us to continue to perform current federal contracts, and also to receive awards of new subcontracts for items under $35 and for items considered
commercially available off-the-shelf items. The Air Force lifted the suspension on September 6, 2019 following the execution of a two-year Administrative
Agreement with us. We are now eligible to obtain and perform U.S. government contracts and subcontracts without restrictions. Under the Administrative
Agreement, we will be monitored and evaluated by independent monitors who will report to the Air Force on our compliance with the terms of the Company’s
Ethics & Compliance Program, including its overall culture, government contracting compliance program, and export controls compliance program.
Although we cannot predict the ultimate resolution of these matters, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant legal costs and other expenses in
connection with responding to the U.S. government agencies.
Other
We are involved in various other legal matters incidental to our business. Although we cannot predict the results of the litigation with certainty, we believe that the
disposition of all these various other legal matters will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our consolidated results of operations,
consolidated cash flows or consolidated financial position.

(24) Restructuring and Exit Activity Costs
On August 5, 2020, we announced, in connection with the new strategic focus and organizational realignment, a restructuring plan intended to align our operating
costs with current revenue levels and better position the Company for future sustainable and profitable growth. The restructuring plan includes a reduction of
nearly 20% of our workforce, with the majority of the workforce reduction completed by December 31, 2020. We expect that the restructuring plan, in conjunction
with other cost reduction measures, will reduce our annualized costs by approximately $80,000 by the end of December 31, 2021, with additional savings of
approximately $20,000 dependent on potential divestitures. Cost reduction efforts include reducing the number of facilities and examining every aspect of our
manufacturing and operating costs. We incurred cash charges for severance, facility closing and other costs, primarily in the second half of 2020. We may incur
additional charges in 2021 as we finalize all the actions to be taken. Non-cash charges related to these actions are expected to be $6,400 and are included in facility
closing costs. We are also evaluating the divestiture of parts of the business that do not align with this strategic focus. See Note 3 and Note 26.
In connection with the restructuring plan, we recorded pre-tax costs during the year ended December 31, 2020, included within selling, general and administrative
in the consolidated statement of operations, and expect to incur total costs as follows:
Total Costs Expected to be Incurred

a. Upon adoption of ASU 2018-08 we determined it was appropriate to recast the presentation of our previously reported statement of operations and
the effect on the individual quarters in 2020 was immaterial. See Note 2.
The sum of per share amounts for each of the quarterly periods presented does not necessarily equal the total presented for the year because each quarterly amount
is independently calculated at the end of each period based on the net income (loss) available to common stockholders for such period and the weighted average
shares of outstanding common stock for such period.
(26) Subsequent Events
On January 1, 2021, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Cimatron Ltd., the subsidiary that operated the

The 2015 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of 3D Systems Corporation is designed to assist the Company and its subsidiaries and

Units (“Restricted Stock Units”), each unit of which is a notional bookkeeping entry representing the equivalent of a share of
Common Stock under Section 7 of the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Participant mutually agree as follows:
Section 1. Restricted Stock Units; Performance Conditions
Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company hereby grants to the Participant a target number of
_________________ (___) Restricted Stock Units (the “Award Units”).
The target number of Award Units shall be adjusted based on the Company’s performance during the period commencing on
the Award Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Award Date for the following metric: Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”),
defined as the percentage growth in stock price, plus dividends and adjusted for events such as stock splits, with percentage growth
calculated as (closing stock price / Initial Stock Price) – 1. The Initial Stock Price value equals the _____ (__) trading day trailing

are measured at the end of each trading day and results must be maintained for a minimum of _____ (__) consecutive trading days
for the result (threshold, target or maximum) to be achieved.
The target Award Units for TSR will be adjusted for performance by multiplying the target by the performance adjustment
percentage indicated below based on actual performance results for the year. The performance-adjusted Award Units are referred to
as the “Performance-Adjusted Units.” The Performance-Adjusted Units become earned subject to the remaining terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including the service-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement.

The performance targets and adjustments for TSR are as follows:
TSR Growth
Achievement Results Performance Adjustment
Below Threshold Less than __% 0%
Threshold __% 50%
Target __% 100%
Maximum __% and above 150%
Results between threshold and target or between target and maximum shall be interpolated on a straight-line basis. Any
fractional Performance-Adjusted Unit shall be rounded up to the nearest whole unit. If performance is below threshold, the Award
shall be canceled and all Award Units immediately forfeited. Final performance results are subject to certification by the

by the Committee regarding performance results shall be final and binding on all parties.

pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of by the Participant so long as the Participant shall remain a Participant of the
Company, except that such restrictions may expire earlier as provided by Section 9 of the Plan.

(a) Subject to the satisfaction of any and all of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the requirement to accept

employment (for any reason) shall be forfeited on the date that the Participant is no longer employed by the Company, a Subsidiary
or an Affiliate.

circumstances (including, but not limited to, the death, Disability or Retirement of the Participant or a material change in
circumstances arising after the date of an Award) and subject to such terms and conditions (including forfeiture or a proportionate

consent); and/or (iii) by the Company retaining a portion of the vested Award Units to be settled.
(c) The Participant shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to
withhold as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The

14.

Award or the Plan or Agreement, or any provision thereof, shall exclusively be filed and adjudicated in York County, South Carolina

Section 16. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, void or unenforceable for any reason, it shall be adjusted rather than
voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the parties to the extent possible. In any event, all other provisions of this
Agreement shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the fullest extent possible.

Exhibit 10.7
Section 3. Waterford II Improvements
(a) Tenant desires to develop and construct, and Landlord desires to fund and lease, the Waterford II
Improvements on the Expansion Land. The Waterford II Improvements are comprised of two parts: (i) the
Waterford II Building; and (ii) the Waterford II Tenant Improvements within the Waterford II Building.
(b) Landlord has agreed to advance funds in the aggregate maximum amount of thirteen million dollars
($13,000,000.00) to fund the purchase, development, and construction of the Waterford II Premises in
accordance with the terms hereof and all Legal Requirements (as hereinafter defined). All advances shall be
deemed part of the Total Project Cost (as hereinafter defined) and such funds shall be available to Tenant
through October 31, 2022.
(c) Tenant shall hire Oak Engineering (“Engineer”) to evaluate the Expansion Land and determine the feasibility
of constructing the Waterford II Improvements on the Expansion Land. Tenant shall enter into a contract with
Engineer, and a true and complete copy of such contract (and all subsequent amendments thereto) shall be
delivered by Tenant to Landlord promptly following the execution thereof. Tenant shall assign to Landlord, or
provide that Landlord is a third-party beneficiary of, Tenant’s rights under such contract. Following
Engineer’s evaluation of the Expansion Land, which shall include, but not be limited to, an analysis of
topography, soil borings and testing, environmental issues, zoning, and preparation of an ALTA survey,
Engineer shall prepare a concept site plan with projected specifications for the Waterford II Building (the
Preliminary Waterford II Site Plan”) and a Basis of Design (“BOD”), which shall be used to procure bids
from qualified design build contractors for the Waterford II Building. Landlord and Tenant hereby
acknowledge and agree that the Waterford II Building shall contain a minimum of 80,000 rentable square feet.
Engineer’s Preliminary Waterford II Site Plan and BOD shall collectively be referred to herein as the
Preliminary Waterford II Building Plans.” Tenant shall deliver the Preliminary Waterford II Building
Plans to Landlord for Landlord’s review and written approval as soon as reasonably practicable. Landlord
shall have seven (7) business days following receipt of such Preliminary Waterford II Building Plans to
approve or reject the Preliminary Waterford II Building Plans. Landlord’s failure to approve the Preliminary
Waterford II Building Plans within such seven (7) business day period shall be deemed to be an approval
thereof by Landlord. If Landlord rejects the Preliminary Waterford II Building Plans (in whole or in part),
Landlord shall specify in sufficient detail the reason(s) for Landlord’s rejection (or partial rejection, as
applicable). If Landlord responds to such Preliminary Waterford II Building Plans, then such portion thereof
not rejected by Landlord shall be deemed to be approved. In the event Tenant thereafter modifies or objects to
any portion of the Preliminary Waterford II Building Plans previously approved by Landlord, Tenant shall
revise the proposed Preliminary Waterford II Building Plans, and resubmit such plans for Landlord’s written
approval,
3
Exhibit 10.7
provided that Landlord shall only have five (5) business days to review and approve any revised Preliminary
Waterford II Building Plans, and should Landlord fail to respond within such five (5) business day period,
such revised Preliminary Waterford II Building Plans shall be deemed approved. Landlord and Tenant intend
to work collaboratively to develop final plans and specifications for the Waterford II Building in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 3. The parties acknowledge that certain milestones must be met in the plan
development process to achieve Tenant’s desired date for Substantial Completion (as hereinafter defined). The
time frames set forth in this Section are intended to facilitate the parties’ progress towards such date.
(d) Following mutual written approval of the Preliminary Waterford II Building Plans, Landlord and Tenant shall
amend this Lease to attach the Preliminary Waterford II Building Plans as Exhibit C-1 to this Lease. Tenant
shall use the Preliminary Waterford II Building Plans to conduct a bidding process to hire a qualified design
build contractor to construct the Waterford II Building, all as more fully described in Section 4 below. Such
design build contractor shall also be responsible for constructing and installing the Waterford II Tenant
Improvements.
(e) Tenant shall work collaboratively with its design build contractor to engage a project architect (theProject
Architect”) to prepare final Waterford II building plans (“Final Waterford II Building Plans”) and plans
and specification for the Waterford II Tenant Improvements (the Waterford II Tenant Improvement
Plans”). Collectively, the Final Waterford II Building Plans and the Waterford II Tenant Improvement Plans
shall be referred to herein as theFinal Waterford II Plans. Tenant shall submit each component of the
Final Waterford II Plans to Landlord for Landlord’s written approval as soon as reasonably practicable.
Landlord shall have seven (7) business days following receipt of the Final Waterford II Plans (or any part
thereof) to approve or reject such proposed Final Waterford II Plans. Landlord’s failure to approve the
proposed Final Waterford II Plans (or any part thereof) within such seven (7) business day period shall be
deemed to be an approval thereof by Landlord. If Landlord rejects the proposed Final Waterford II Plans (in
whole or in part), Landlord shall specify in sufficient detail the reason(s) for Landlord’s rejection (or partial
rejection, as applicable). If Landlord responds to such Final Waterford II Plans (or any part thereof), then such
portion thereof not rejected by Landlord shall be deemed to be approved. In the event Tenant thereafter
modifies or objects to any portion of the Final Waterford II Plans previously approved by Landlord, Tenant
shall revise such portion of the Final Waterford II Plans, and resubmit such plans for Landlord’s written
approval, provided that Landlord shall only have five (5) business days to review and approve any revised
portion of the Final Waterford II Plans, and should Landlord fail to respond within such five (5) business day
period, such revised portion of the Final Waterford II Plans shall be deemed approved. Upon mutual written
approval of the entire Final Waterford II Plans, Landlord and Tenant shall
4
Exhibit 10.7
amend this Lease to attach the Final Waterford II Plans as Exhibit C-2 to this Lease.
(f) Only the signature or initials of an authorized representative of Landlord referenced in Section 4(b) and an
authorized representative of Tenant referenced in Section 4(b) will evidence approval of the Final Waterford
II Plans. Landlord may appoint a representative (if not an authorized representative of Landlord referenced in
Section 4(b)) to review the Final Waterford II Plans that Tenant proposes for adoption so as not to
unreasonably delay the completion of the Waterford II Improvements. Landlord’s review and approval of the
Final Waterford II Plans, shop drawings, samples or other construction related items will create no
responsibility or liability whatsoever on Landlord’s part for their completeness, sufficiency for their intended
purpose, or degree of compliance with Legal Requirements (hereinafter defined).
(g) Notwithstanding the fact that Tenant shall construct the Waterford II Improvements, Landlord and Tenant
hereby acknowledge and agree that Landlord shall own the Expansion Land and all Waterford II
Improvements.
Section 4. Construction of Waterford II Improvements
(a) Landlord and Tenant shall submit the Preliminary Waterford II Building Plans to three or four qualified design
build contractors for bids. The design build contractor for the Waterford II Building shall be mutually agreed
to by Landlord and Tenant in their respective reasonable discretion. Such design build contractor shall also be
responsible for constructing all Waterford II Tenant Improvements. Upon agreeing to a design build
contractor, Tenant shall enter into a construction contract with the selected design build contractor for all
Waterford II Improvements using an applicable AIA form, which contract shall be subject to the prior written
approval of Landlord. A true and complete copy of such construction contract (and all subsequent
amendments thereto) shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord promptly following the execution thereof.
Tenant shall assign to Landlord, or provide that Landlord is a third-party beneficiary of, Tenant’s rights under
the design build contractor agreement and agreements with all design professionals (including any architects,
engineers, designers, or otherwise). Thereafter, Tenant shall cause the selected design build contractor to
complete construction and equipping of the Waterford II Improvements, free of mechanic’s liens or other
liens, and provided Landlord advances funds in accordance with the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall defend,
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, actions, losses, costs, damages, expenses,
liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and costs, resulting from (A) the
assertion or filing of any claim for amounts alleged to be due to the claimant for labor, services, materials,
supplies, machinery, fixtures or equipment furnished in connection with the construction of the Waterford II
Improvements, (B) the foreclosure of any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien that allegedly secures the amounts
5
Exhibit 10.7
allegedly owed to the claimant, or (C) any other legal proceedings initiated in connection with that claim.
(b) Landlord appoints Steven Fields and Kim B. Fields as its representatives and Tenant appoints Allen Latty,
Senior Vice President, People and Culture as its representatives to act on its behalf in dealings with the other
party, and both parties appoint ______________________ to act on their joint behalf as project manager in
matters relating to the construction of the Waterford II Improvements. Landlord and Tenant each may replace
its representative(s) with other representative(s) at its discretion; and Landlord and Tenant shall advise the
other party of such substitution.
(c) Tenant shall cause its design build contractor to construct, and Landlord shall fund, the Waterford II
Improvements in substantial accordance with the Final Waterford II Plans, the Development Budget (as
specified in Exhibit D attached to this Lease), and all Legal Requirements. In no event shall Landlord be
responsible for Total Project Costs (as defined below) in excess of thirteen million dollars ($13,000,000.00)
for the Waterford II Premises, and Tenant shall pay any and all such excess costs.
(d) Tenant shall cause its design build contractor to commence construction of the Waterford II Improvements as
soon as practicable after receipt of appropriate permits from applicable governmental authorities. The
commencement of site grading or site excavation will constitute the commencement of construction for
purposes of the foregoing requirement. Tenant shall cause its design build contractor to diligently proceed
with the construction of the Waterford II Improvements and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause its design build contractor to Substantially Complete (as below defined) the Waterford II Improvements
on or before January 15, 2022.Substantial Completion orSubstantially Complete shall mean that (i)
the Waterford II Improvements are substantially completed in accordance with the Final Waterford II Plans,
except for minor details of construction, decoration or mechanical adjustments which do not materially
interfere with Tenant’s access to or use of the Waterford II Improvements and (ii) a temporary or conditional
certificate of occupancy or its equivalent permitting full use and occupancy of the Waterford II Building has
been obtained. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, a certificate of occupancy from the
applicable governmental authority and a certificate from the Project Architect that the Waterford II
Improvements have been completed in substantial compliance with the Final Waterford II Plans shall confirm
that Substantial Completion of the Waterford II Improvements has occurred, absent manifest error. The date
Substantial Completion occurs shall be referred to as the “Substantial Completion Date.”
(e) Landlord and Tenant shall conduct a joint inspection of the Waterford II Premises within three (3) business
days following the Substantial Completion Date and identify in writing all punch list items (“Punch List
Items”). Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all
6
Exhibit 10.7
Punch List Items to be addressed and completed within sixty (60) days after the establishment of the list of
such Punch List Items or within such longer period of time following the delivery of such punch list as may be
reasonably required to accomplish completion of such item(s) if Tenant promptly commences completion of
such Punch List Items and diligently pursues completion thereof.
(f) Tenant shall cause the design build contractor to make the Waterford II Building available for entry by Tenant
and Tenant’s employees and contractors at least 30 days prior to the Waterford II Rent Commencement Date
(as defined below) for the purpose of installing Tenant’s machinery and equipment. Tenant shall ensure that
its employees and contractors do not interfere with the completion of the construction of the Waterford II
Improvements. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any damage or
delay caused by Tenant’s early entry. Entry by Tenant’s employees and contractors for this limited purpose
will not constitute Tenant’s acceptance of the Waterford II Improvements or give rise to any obligation to pay
Waterford II Base Rent.
(g) Intentionally Deleted.
(h) Tenant’s design build contractor shall incorporate only new materials and equipment into the construction of
the Waterford II Improvements. Tenant shall cause its design build contractor to warrant all Waterford II
Improvements including, without limitation, the foundations, slab, structural frame, roof, exterior walls of the
Waterford II Building, and any site improvements, landscaping or other elements of the Waterford II
Improvements against defective design, workmanship, and materials, latent or otherwise, for a period of one
year from the date of Substantial Completion (the “Warranty Period”). Tenant shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause its design build contractor to repair or replace at such design build contractor’s sole
cost and expense any defective item of Waterford II Improvements occasioned by defective design,
workmanship, or materials that Landlord or Tenant discovers during the Warranty Period. Upon the expiration
of the Warranty Period, Tenant shall cause all remaining material and labor warranties for the design build
contractor, the roof on the Waterford II Building, the window glazing, and all mechanical or other systems,
including HVAC, electric, plumbing and sewer systems, to be assigned to Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord all other remaining assignable guaranties and warranties received by Tenant in connection
with the construction of the Waterford II Improvements and, thereafter, Tenant shall perform (or cause the
performance of) for the benefit of Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, any continuing, non-assignable guaranties
and warranties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant has no obligation to assign any warranty or guaranty to
Landlord if Tenant is obligated to maintain an item covered by the warranty or guaranty pursuant to Section
10 of this Lease. From and after the expiration of the Warranty Period, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord
in Landlord’s enforcement, at Landlord’s sole
7
Exhibit 10.7
cost and expense, of any express warranties or guaranties of workmanship or materials for the Waterford II
Improvements given by subcontractors, architects, draftsmen, or materialmen that guarantee or warrant
against defective design, workmanship, or materials for a period of time in excess of the Warranty Period,
provided that the foregoing shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense if Tenant is obligated to maintain such
item pursuant to Section 10 of this Lease. The obligations Tenant undertakes under the terms of this
subsection are in addition to the maintenance and repair obligations that Tenant undertakes under other terms
of this Lease.
(i) Tenant shall afford Landlord access to the Waterford II Improvements at any reasonable time during normal
business hours upon reasonable notice during construction for the purposes of inspecting the Waterford II
Improvements.
(j) Following Substantial Completion, the Project Architect shall measure the rentable area of the Waterford II
Building (the Waterford II Building Square Footage”), which measurement shall be final and binding
upon the parties. Tenant shall provide Landlord with as-built drawings of the Waterford II Building and other
Waterford II Improvements within 90 days after the date of Substantial Completion as well as all instructions
and operator’s manuals pertaining to any building systems (excluding Tenant’s trade fixtures installed by
Tenant, Tenant’s design build contractor, or any other contractor, subcontractor, employee, or agent) within
the Waterford II Building within 10 business days after the date of Substantial Completion.
(k) Landlord reserves the right to grant easements and other development related encumbrances covering the
Land as reasonably determined necessary or desirable by Landlord with Tenant’s consent (not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) in connection with the development of the Waterford II Improvements.
Landlord also reserves the right to place non-monetary encumbrances on the portion of the Land owned by
Landlord at other times; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord, without the prior consent of Tenant,
place any encumbrance on the Land that would unreasonably affect or otherwise adversely impact Tenant’s
occupancy and/or use of the Premises.
(l) Throughout the period between the date on which Tenant’s design build contractor commences construction of
the Waterford II Improvements and the Substantial Completion Date, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, maintain in force with respect to the Waterford II Improvements an all-risk builder’s risk insurance
policy on a completed value basis in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Waterford II
Improvements, which policy shall name Tenant and Tenant’s design build contractor as additional insureds.
The premium for such policy shall be paid directly by Landlord and included in the Total Project Cost (as
defined in Section 6 of this Lease). In the event of a casualty, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the lesser of the
amount of the deductible or the full amount of the loss in the case of a loss in an amount less than the
8
Exhibit 10.7
deductible, which payment shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be due and payable by
Tenant upon the later of: (i) within thirty (30) days of the date of the casualty, and (ii) with Tenant’s next
installment of monthly Rent immediately following Landlord’s written request therefor. Tenant and its design
build contractor shall each maintain general liability insurance (in form and amounts reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord) naming Landlord (and its lender, if applicable) as additional insured(s) on additional insured
endorsement GC 2010-1185 (or its equivalent). In addition, Tenant shall cause Tenant’s design build
contractor to maintain workers’ compensation insurance required by applicable law and shall promptly
provide to Landlord reasonable documentary evidence of such insurance coverage(s). Each party shall deliver
certificates of insurance to the other evidencing such policies, and such policies shall provide that no
cancellation, surrender or material change will become effective unless each additional insured receives
written notice at least 30 days in advance of the time at which such cancellation, surrender or material change
becomes effective. All insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section must be maintained with
insurers authorized to do business in the State of South Carolina and having an A.M. Best Rating of A- and
VIII or higher. Prior to commencing any work, each named insured shall deliver to the additional insured(s)
such certificates as may be reasonably required to establish that the insurance coverage required by this
Section is in effect from time to time, and that the insurer(s) have agreed to give the other party at least 30
days’ notice prior to any cancellation of, or material modification to, the required coverage.
Section 5. Term of Lease

11:59 p.m. (Rock Hill, South Carolina local time) August 31, 2036 (the “Expiration Date”).
(b) Tenant has the right to renew the term of this Lease, as set forth in Section 7 below, and the Initial Term and
any Renewal Terms with respect to which Tenant exercises that option in accordance with Section 7 are
collectively called the “Term” in this Lease.
(c) Within 30 days after the Substantial Completion Date, the parties will execute anAcknowledgment Letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto.
9
Exhibit 10.7
(d) Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of August 31, 2031 (the Early Termination Date”)
with respect to either the Waterford I Premises or the Waterford II Premises, or both, by providing written
notice of termination to Landlord no later than August 31, 2030 and upon giving such notice, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord an early termination fee as follows:
Waterford I Premises - $350,000
Waterford II Premises - $700,000
Waterford I Premises and Waterford II Premises - $1,050,000
Section 6. Base Rent and Additional Rent
(a) Waterford I Base Rent: Tenant shall pay to Landlord base annual rent for the Waterford I Premises
(“Waterford I Base Rent”) in monthly installments in advance, as follows:
(b) Waterford I Additional Rent: Tenant shall pay to Landlord Additional Rent based on the Final Waterford I
AIF Amount described in Exhibit B hereto (theWaterford I AIF Additional Rent”) calculated as follows:
the annual amount of the Waterford I AIF Additional Rent shall equal the sum of (i) 9.70% of the first
$1,000,000 of the Final Waterford I AIF Amount, plus (ii) 10.50% of the Final Waterford I AIF Amount in
excess of $1,000,000. The Waterford I AIF Additional Rent shall be paid in monthly installments, together
with the Waterford I Base Rent, beginning July 1, 2022 and continuing through the expiration of the Term,
including any Renewal Terms.
10
Exhibit 10.7
(c) Waterford II Base Rent: Tenant shall pay to Landlord base annual rent (“Waterford II Base Rent”) for the
Waterford II Premises in monthly installments in advance beginning on the Waterford II Commencement Date
(the “Waterford II Rent Commencement Date”). For purposes of clarity, the Substantial Completion Date,
the Waterford II Commencement Date, and the Waterford II Rent Commencement Date shall all be the same
date. Upon completion of the Waterford II Improvements, Landlord shall calculate the Total Project Cost as
follows:
Total Project Cost shall refer to all advances by Landlord to Tenant to acquire, develop and construct the
Waterford II Premises, including, but not limited to, land acquisition costs, site work, all hard and soft
construction costs (excluding Landlord’s time, travel and financing costs), costs to connect the Waterford II
Premises with the Waterford I Premises (including a potential enclosed pedway between the Buildings), all
leasing and brokerage commissions, carry costs, utility costs, real estate taxes, insurance costs, legal fees and
costs, closing costs, and any other costs whatsoever, plus interest accruals on all Landlord advances at the rate
of eight percent (8%) per annum from the date of each such advance through the Waterford II Rent
Commencement Date.
The Waterford II Base Rent shall be based on the final Total Project Cost and shall be equal to the sum of the
following (or part thereof):
In the event that the Total Project Cost is not final and determinable as of the Substantial Completion Date,
Landlord shall calculate the Total Project Cost and the Waterford II Base Rent based upon the known Total
Project Cost as of the Substantial Completion Date and a reasonable estimate of any additional costs expected
to be incurred, and Tenant shall timely pay such Waterford II Base Rent as required herein; provided,
however, that the Total Project Cost and the Waterford II Base Rent (both past and future payments) may be
adjusted thereafter (if appropriate) following the final determination of the Total Project Cost, which
determination shall be made no later than ninety (90) days after Substantial Completion.
Beginning with the first calendar month following the date which is twelve (12) months after the Waterford II
Rent Commencement Date and continuing each year thereafter, the Waterford II Base Rent shall increase
11
Exhibit 10.7
by one and one-half percent (1.50%) per annum over the Waterford II Base Rent payable during the preceding
year.
Landlord and Tenant shall acknowledge and agree to the Waterford II Base Rent in the Acknowledgement
Letter attached hereto as Exhibit E once the Waterford II Rent Commencement Date is determined, the Total
Project Cost is finalized, and the Waterford II Base Rent is computed.
(d) If the Waterford II Rent Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month,
then the Waterford II Base Rent for the month in which the Waterford II Rent Commencement Date occurs
will be equal to the monthly installment amount specified above multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days remaining in the period commencing with the Waterford II Rent Commencement
Date and ending on the last day of that month, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in
that month. Subsequent installments of Waterford II Base Rent following the Waterford II Rent
Commencement Date shall be due and payable by Tenant in advance on the first day of each calendar month
during the Term.
(e) If a termination of this Lease occurs prior to the Expiration Date for reasons other than Tenant’s default
(including but not limited to a termination by Tenant pursuant to Section 19 hereof) and if the effective date of
termination is other than the last day of a calendar month, the parties will prorate the Rent (as hereinafter
defined) payable with respect to the calendar month in which the effective date of termination occurs based on
the number of days in that month, and Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant, without demand, setoff or
deduction, any previously paid Rent attributable to any period of time following the termination date.
(f) Tenant shall promptly pay when due to the applicable taxing authority any fee-in-lieu of taxes and all taxes,
assessments (including any added or special assessments), water and sewer rents, rates and charges, transit
taxes, charges for public utilities, excises, levies, vaults and all other licenses and permit fees and other
governmental charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen and foreseen, of any kind
and nature whatsoever (including without limitation all penalties and interest thereon by reason of Tenant’s
failure to pay Impositions (as defined herein) unless Landlord has not directed the taxing authority to deliver
tax statements directly to Tenant such that the failure to timely pay any such Imposition results solely from the
failure by Landlord to deliver the statement regarding any such Imposition(s) to Tenant at least 15 business
days prior to the same becoming due and payable, in which event Landlord shall be responsible for any such
penalties and interest) which at any time prior to or during the Term may be assessed, levied, confirmed,
imposed upon or grow or become due and payable out of or in respect of or become a lien on (i) the Premises
or any part thereof or any appurtenance thereto, (ii) any Rent reserved or payable hereunder or any other sums
payable by Tenant hereunder, (iii) this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or the operation,
possession, occupancy or use of the
12
Exhibit 10.7
Premises, (iv) any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or estate in the
Premises (all of which are hereinafter calledImpositions”). Notwithstanding the aforementioned, so long as
this Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not in default beyond all applicable grace, notice and cure
periods in respect of the performance of any of Tenant’s obligation hereunder, Tenant shall get the benefit of
any and all tax incentives, deductions and/or reductions applicable to the Premises and Landlord and Tenant’s
improvement thereof, including, without limitation, any incentives from any Fee in Lieu of Property Taxes
(“FILOT”) program. Otherwise, all benefits shall accrue to Landlord.
(g) Landlord shall file a request with all taxing authorities that issue tax bills or tax statements for Impositions on
the Premises to deliver the tax bills or tax statements directly to Tenant. Promptly following request from the
Landlord, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord copies of all tax bills and tax statements Tenant receives
directly from the taxing authorities. Tenant shall pay all such tax bills or tax statements prior to delinquency.
At least 15 business days prior to the date each such tax bill or tax statement would become delinquent,
Tenant, upon request by Landlord, shall deliver to Landlord a copy of a paid receipt that the taxing authority
issues or a Certificate of No Tax Due issued by a reputable title insurance company, at Tenant’s expense,
demonstrating the payment of that Imposition. If Tenant does not timely provide proof of the payment of any
Imposition as required in the prior sentence within 5 business days following request therefor by Landlord,
Landlord may pay the Imposition and bill Tenant therefor. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6(f) above,
Tenant will be responsible for any interest or penalties that accrue with respect to all Impositions not timely
paid by Tenant under this Section 6(g).
(h) The foregoing will not require Tenant to pay any municipal, state or federal income, net profit, excess profits
or similar taxes assessed against Landlord or any of its partners, members or holders of its equity securities, or
any municipal, state or federal capital levy, estate, succession, inheritance, transfer or similar taxes of
Landlord or any of its partners, members or holders of its equity securities, or corporation or other franchise
taxes imposed upon the owner of the fee of the Premises. Moreover, with respect to Impositions that may
lawfully be paid in installments over a period of years, with or without interest, the foregoing will not require
Tenant to pay any portion of those installments or interest that become due to the taxing authority after the
Expiration Date, as extended. With respect to the Impositions levied in respect of any period of time within
which the Expiration Date occurs, Tenant shall only be obligated to pay a proportionate part of those
Impositions, which part will bear the same ratio to the total amount of those Impositions as the number of days
in the period between the beginning of that period of time and the Expiration Date bears to the total number of
days in that period of time.
13
Exhibit 10.7
(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, Tenant may contest in good faith and at its expense
the amount or validity of any Imposition that it is obligated to pay in accordance with the foregoing and is
entitled to any refund paid as a result of that contest. Landlord shall join in any contest undertaken by Tenant
in accordance with the foregoing at Tenant’s expense if the provisions of any law, rule or regulation at the
time in effect require that the proceedings be brought by or in the name of Landlord. Notwithstanding
anything in this Lease to the contrary, during any tax contest, Tenant agrees to comply with any jurisdictional
requirements relating to payment before contest necessary to prevent a tax foreclosure.
(j) For purposes of this Lease, (i) Waterford I Base Rent and Waterford II Base Rent (together “Base Rent”), and
(ii) Waterford I AIF Additional Rent and any other amounts due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease
(herein sometimes referred to asAdditional Rent”), are herein collectively referred to as the Rent.” All
Rent is due and payable without notice, demand, abatement, deduction, or setoff on the first day of each
calendar month at the address specified in Section 38(j) or at such other address as Landlord may from time to
time designate. Subject to any contrary instructions to which Tenant shall be subject pursuant to this Lease or
any Exhibit hereto, at Landlord’s request Tenant shall pay Rent to an account designated by Landlord.
Following the Effective Date, Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and other amounts under this Lease, is
independent of the performance by Landlord of its obligations under this Lease; provided, nothing in this
sentence affects Tenant’s rights to set off under Section 26.
Section 7. Renewal of the Term
(a) Tenant may renew the Term for two successive 5-year renewal terms (“Renewal Terms”) so long as this
Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not in default beyond all applicable grace, notice and cure
periods in respect of the performance of any obligation it undertakes under the terms of this Lease both at the
time that Tenant exercises such renewal option and at the time such Renewal Term commences. Tenant will
exercise each renewal option, if at all, by delivering written notice (theOption Notice”) to Landlord not less
than 12 months prior to the Expiration Date of the current Term. The provisions of this Lease will govern the
relationship between the parties during each Renewal Term, except that the Base Rent for each Renewal Term
will be determined as provided below.
(b) The annual Base Rent payable during each Renewal Term will be equal to the product of 95% of the Fair
Market Rent (as defined below and as determined in accordance with the procedures described in this Section
7(b)) as of the date Tenant exercises its option to renew the Term for the ensuing Renewal Term, multiplied
by the sum of the Waterford I Building Square Footage and the Waterford II Building Square Footage. In the
event that Tenant desires to renew the Lease solely with respect to one
14
Exhibit 10.7
Building, Tenant shall notify Landlord of such in the Option Notice, and the Fair Market Rent shall be based
on the particular attributes and square footage of the Building Tenant desires to lease. Initially Landlord will
determine the Fair Market Rent by using its good faith judgment. Landlord will use due diligence and
commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice of its determination in that regard within 15 days
after the date Tenant sends the Option Notice, but in no event later than 30 days after that date. Tenant will
have a period (theTenant Review Period”) of 30 days following the date Tenant receives Landlord’s notice
regarding Landlord’s proposed Fair Market Rent within which to accept Landlord’s proposal or to provide
Landlord with Tenant’s objections to Landlord’s proposal. If Tenant objects to Landlord’s initial proposal or
fails to affirmatively accept that proposal in writing, the parties will use due diligence and commercially
reasonable efforts to reach agreement with respect to the Fair Market Rent, but, if the parties fail to agree
within 15 days after the expiration of the Tenant Review Period, determination of the Fair Market Rent will be
made in accordance with the terms of Subsections 7(b)(i) through 7(b)(v) below. If Landlord fails to provide
Tenant written notice of its initial proposal with respect to the Fair Market Rent within the 30-day period set
forth above, Tenant may commence negotiations by providing the initial notice, in which event Landlord will
have a period (the Landlord Review Period”) of 30 days following the date of its receipt of Tenant’s
proposed Fair Market Rent within which to accept Tenant’s proposal or to provide Tenant Landlord’s
objections to Tenant’s proposal. If Landlord objects to Tenant’s initial proposal or fails to affirmatively accept
that proposal in writing, the parties will use duly diligent and commercially reasonable efforts to reach
agreement with respect to the Fair Market Rent, but, if the parties fail to agree within 15 days after the
expiration of the Landlord Review Period, determination of the Fair Market Rent will be made in accordance
with the terms of Subsections 7(b)(i) through 7(b)(v) below. If determination of the Fair Market Rent in
accordance with the following procedures becomes necessary, each party will place in a separate sealed
envelope its final proposal as to the Fair Market Rent that will apply during the ensuing Renewal Term.
(i) The parties will meet within five business days after the expiration of the Tenant Review Period or the
Landlord Review Period, whichever is applicable, exchange the sealed envelopes and open those
envelopes in the presence of each other. If the parties do not agree upon the Fair Market Rent within
30 days following the date on which the exchange and opening of the envelopes occur, Tenant may
rescind its exercise of the option to renew the Term by the delivery of written notice to Landlord prior
to the expiration of that 30-day period. If the parties do not agree upon the Fair Market Rent within
that 30-day period and if Tenant fails to rescind its exercise of the option to renew the Term in
accordance with the foregoing terms of this subsection (i), then the parties will jointly appoint a single
arbitrator within the period that expires 40 days following the date on which the exchange and opening
of the
15
Exhibit 10.7
envelopes occur. The arbitrator must be a real estate broker who, as his or her primary livelihood, has
been active in the leasing of commercial properties in the Greater Charlotte, North Carolina area
(including the Rock Hill, South Carolina area), during the 10-year period preceding the date of his or
her appointment. Neither Tenant nor Landlord may select as an arbitrator any broker or firm to whom
it has paid commissions or fees in the three-year period prior to the proposed engagement. Prior to the
arbitrator’s appointment, neither party will reveal to prospective arbitrators under consideration by the
parties its opinion or the opinion of the other party regarding the Fair Market Rent. The sole issue
submitted to the arbitrator for determination will be which party’s final proposal regarding the Fair
Market Rent is closest to the actual Fair Market Rent, as independently determined by the arbitrator.
(ii) Within 30 days after the date of his or her appointment, the arbitrator will give the parties written
notice of its determination as to which of the parties’ final proposals regarding the Fair Market Rent
will apply during the ensuing Renewal Term.
(iii) The decision of the arbitrator is final and binding on the parties.
(iv) If the parties fail to agree upon the appointment of an arbitrator within the time specified above, that
appointment will be made by the Charlotte, North Carolina Office of the American Arbitration
Association.
(v) The party whose proposal for Fair Market Rent is not selected shall bear the entire cost of the
arbitrator.
(c) Fair Market Rent means the annual rental rate per square foot for new tenants for comparable buildings
located in the Rock Hill, South Carolina area and that are comparable in size, design, and quality to the
Buildings in comparable transactions involving a tenant whose creditworthiness is comparable to that of
Tenant and whose other obligations under the lease would be comparable to those undertaken by Tenant in
this Lease. In any evaluation of comparable transactions, the arbitrator will consider the annual rental rates per
square foot, the use to which the tenant puts the leased premises, the extent of the tenant’s liability for the
performance of the covenants set forth in the lease, abatement provisions reflecting free rent or no rent during
the period of construction or subsequent to the commencement date as to the building in question, a tenant
improvement allowance for redecorating, brokerage commissions, if any, that would be payable by the
landlord, length of the lease term, size and location of premises being leased, building standard work letter or
tenant improvement allowances, if any, and other generally applicable conditions of tenancy for those
comparable transactions. The intent is that Tenant will obtain the same rent and other economic benefits that a
landlord would otherwise give in a comparable transaction and that Landlord will make
16
Exhibit 10.7
and receive the same economic payments and concessions that other landlords would otherwise make and
receive in comparable transactions.
Section 8. Use
Tenant may use the Premises for any lawful use, except that Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises, or any part
thereof, nor permit or allow the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied, for (i) any purpose or in any manner which is in
violation of the environmental provisions set forth in Section 21 or any other Legal Requirements (as defined below), or (ii) in any
manner which will violate any certificate of occupancy for the Premises or make void or voidable any insurance then in force with
respect thereto as is required pursuant to this Lease. It is intended that Tenant will use the Premises for general office purposes,
research and development, light manufacturing, and storage, including storage related to Tenant’s tank farm, or other purposes
consistent with the character of the Buildings and for lawful purposes related to Tenant’s business (the Intended Use”) and in
compliance with all federal, state, local and other laws, ordinances, principles of common law, regulations, codes and orders
(collectively, “Legal Requirements”). Tenant shall not be required to continuously operate from the Premises.
Section 9. Alterations
(a) During the Term, Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises
(“Alterations”) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Landlord’s prior written consent shall not be required for any
Alterations: (i) that cost less than $250,000, including labor and materials, in the aggregate in any 12 month
period; (ii) that are not structural exterior additions or alterations to the Premises; (iii) that are not reasonably
likely to reduce the value of the Premises; (iv) that will not adversely affect the structural elements or roofs of
the Buildings; and (vi) that will not adversely affect the proper functioning of the Buildings’ systems on a
permanent basis. In seeking approval from Landlord for any Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with
full and complete drawings and plans for the proposed Alterations prepared by a licensed architect or engineer
showing the location, specifications, method of installation and type of equipment to be installed. Tenant shall
not have the right to seek any zoning changes or variances in connection with any Alterations, and Tenant
shall procure all necessary governmental permits and approvals prior to commencing construction of any
Alteration.
(b) During the Term, subject to all Legal Requirements and Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to install, relocate, and
maintain for Tenant’s exclusive use, mechanical, electrical, telecommunications, and other equipment in the
Buildings (including on the roofs of the Buildings) and/or in the Premises. Such equipment shall include
satellite dishes/antennas, generators, transformers, and supplemental HVAC equipment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall have the right to install, relocate, and maintain the above
referenced equipment, at no additional charge to Tenant, provided
17
Exhibit 10.7
Tenant shall be responsible for restoring and repairing any damage caused by the installation, relocation, or
removal of such equipment.
(c) All Alterations shall be constructed by Tenant, without expense to Landlord, in a good and workmanlike
manner, and in accordance with all applicable statutes and building codes, governmental rules, regulations and
orders, including, but not limited to, all environmental rules, regulations, and ordinances, and the covenants,
conditions and restrictions for the Waterford Business Park and other restrictive covenants applicable to the
Premises. Promptly upon the completion of construction of any Alteration that is permanently affixed to the
Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord one complete set of “as built” drawings thereof (and if the
Alterations involve any change to the footprint of any Building or the erection of a new building, an ALTA
survey certified to Landlord and any mortgagee of the Premises), proof of payment for all labor and materials,
and if and to the extent commercially obtainable, copies of warranties, if any, from all major contractors in
favor of Landlord and Tenant (jointly and separately) against defects and deficiencies in materials and
workmanship, and requiring the correction of the same upon demand of Landlord or Tenant at the expense of
such contractor.
(d) All Alterations, whether temporary or permanent in character, made in or upon the Premises either by
Landlord or Tenant (other than furnishings, removable partitions, trade fixtures, equipment and other movable
personal property installed by Tenant) shall be Landlord’s property upon the expiration or earlier termination
of the Term, and will remain with the Premises without compensation to Tenant. Tenant’s trade fixtures,
removable partitions, furnishings, equipment and other movable personal property in the Premises will remain
Tenant’s property for all purposes, and Tenant may remove them at its option and expense at any time on or
before the Expiration Date. Upon the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant
shall surrender the Premises in good condition and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear, casualty damage,
and damage that Landlord has the obligation to repair under the terms of this Lease. The foregoing covenant
does not obligate Tenant to remove Alterations or other leasehold improvements made with respect to the
Premises. All Tenant Improvements and other property of Tenant not timely removed from the Premises shall
become part of the Premises and will remain with the Premises upon the expiration of the Term or any earlier
termination of this Lease.
(e) Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and save harmless Landlord against any and all mechanic’s and other liens
filed or arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred in connection with any
Alterations. If Tenant does not procure the satisfaction or discharge of all liens for which Tenant is responsible
hereunder as and when required by this Lease by bonding, payment or otherwise, Landlord may, upon 30
days’ prior written notice to Tenant, pay the amount of any lien or discharge the same by deposit or,
alternatively, by bond or in any manner according to law, and the amount so paid by Landlord, together with
18
Exhibit 10.7
reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord, including all reasonable legal fees and such expenses shall be
payable by Tenant as Additional Rent hereunder within 30 days after demand.
Section 10. Maintenance of Premises
(a) During the Term, Landlord shall maintain only the following in good condition and repair at its expense: the
structure of each Building, including, without limitation the roof, roof membrane, foundation, floor slab, and
load-bearing and exterior walls (theStructural Components”). If, in order for a Structural Component of
the Building to remain in good condition, replacement of that component becomes necessary, Landlord’s
obligation with respect to that Structural Component includes the obligation to replace it.
(b) Landlord shall accomplish all maintenance for which it is responsible as soon as practicable following receipt
of notice from Tenant. If a hazardous or emergency situation exists, however, Landlord shall have the
maintenance performed as soon as possible.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall, during the Term, maintain in good condition and
repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) at all times at its expense the Premises and the systems serving the
Premises. Moreover, during the entire Term, Tenant must keep the parking areas and all detention pond
facilities clean and in good condition and repair, water the landscape plantings situated on the Land at suitable
intervals, and either maintain in force service contracts providing for the routine repair and maintenance of the
HVAC and other Building systems serving the Premises (each, a “Maintenance Contract”) or provide
reasonable evidence to Landlord from time to time upon its request that the HVAC and other Building
systems are being maintained in accordance with the manufacturers’ specifications under a regular
maintenance program by a qualified maintenance technician. Promptly after receipt thereof, Tenant shall
furnish to Landlord a copy of each Maintenance Contract (and each renewal thereof) and, upon request by
Landlord, a copy of each service report received by Tenant under any Maintenance Contract. Tenant’s
obligations include necessary replacements of the landscaping, as well as repairs and replacements regarding
parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, detention pond facilities, stairs, elevators, loading docks, dock doors,
levelers, and related facilities, and the HVAC and other systems serving the Premises and all Tenant
Improvements.
(i) Tenant shall be responsible for the replacement of any portion of the heating, ventilating and air
conditioning system in the Premises (theHVAC Replacement”) which costs not more than $10,000
per instance. Landlord shall be responsible for the cost of any HVAC Replacement in excess of
$10,000 per instance, subject to the following conditions:
1. Tenant must have either obtained and continued in effect at all times during the Term a
Maintenance Contract for the
19
Exhibit 10.7
HVAC system, or at all times maintained the HVAC System in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specifications under a regular maintenance program administered by a qualified
service technician; and
2. Tenant must not be in default under this Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure period at
the time of reimbursement.
(ii) If Landlord is responsible for the cost of any HVAC Replacement and pays such cost, then Tenant
shall pay to Landlord monthly, as Additional Rent, one percent (1%) of the cost of such HVAC
Replacement for the remainder of the Term, including any Renewal Terms.
(d) At Tenant’s request, Landlord agrees, with no out of pocket cost to Landlord, to assist Tenant in obtaining and
coordinating maintenance providers for the Premises.
(e) Landlord or Tenant, after providing the other party not less than 30 days’ prior written notice, may perform
any obligation the other party (theNon-Performing Party”) is required to perform pursuant to this Section
10 but has failed to perform on behalf of such Non-Performing Party, and the Non-Performing Party shall pay
to the party performing such obligation (thePerforming Party”) within 30 days after the date of the Non-
Performing Party’s receipt of the Performing Party’s invoice the full amount of the reasonable costs and
expenses the Performing Party incurs to perform such obligations, together with the amount of any reasonable
legal fees the Performing Party incurs in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding by
reason of any default in respect of any such obligation, except that the Performing Party shall have no right to
perform such obligation if such obligation requires more than 30 days to perform and the Non-Performing
Party has commenced performance of the obligation within the 30-day period and is diligently pursuing
performance of that obligation. The foregoing in no way eliminates Landlord’s obligation to promptly perform
repairs involving hazardous or emergency situations, as further set forth in 10(b) above, and Tenant’s
corresponding right of self-help if Landlord fails to do so as more specifically provided in Section 26(a)
below.
Section 11. Utilities
As of the Effective Date, Tenant shall provide or contract for and pay for all utilities and other services furnished to
the Waterford I Premises, and as of the Waterford II Commencement Date, Tenant shall provide or contract for and pay for all
utilities and other services furnished to the Waterford II Premises.
Section 12. Telecommunications and Other Equipment
Tenant has the right to use portions of the roof area of the Buildings, or such other locations on the Land, as Tenant
may reasonably select and Landlord approves (provided
20
Exhibit 10.7
Landlord’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) and as Legal Requirements permit, for the
installation, operation, maintenance, security, repair, and replacement of antennae and satellite dishes and other telecommunications
equipment and related cable connections, mechanical equipment, electrical equipment, generators, transformers and supplemental
HVAC equipment (the Ancillary Equipment”), as well as for access to risers. Tenant’s use of the Premises in respect to the
Ancillary Equipment is subject to the following conditions: (i) Tenant is solely responsible for the installation, maintenance, repair,
operation, and replacement of the Ancillary Equipment, (ii) Tenant must install screening around the Ancillary Equipment to the
extent required by Legal Requirements, and (iii) any roof penetrations necessary to install the Ancillary Equipment shall be made so
as not to invalidate or void the roof warranty including using designated contractors, if required, as a condition of such compliance
with the roof warranty. On or before the Expiration Date or within 30 days after the earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
remove the Ancillary Equipment and repair any damage to the Premises that the removal causes. Tenant shall pay Landlord within
30 days after Landlord’s demand the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises arising from the removal and restoration.
Section 13. Signs
Tenant has the exclusive right to place exterior signs on the Premises subject only to any restrictions applicable by
virtue of Legal Requirements, other than temporary for sale or for rent signs installed by Landlord during the last 12 months of the
Term. Tenant shall maintain its signs in good condition and shall remove them and repair any damage to the Premises the removal
causes on or before the Expiration Date or within 30 days after any earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense, cooperate with Tenant in obtaining approval for any signage related to the Premises.
Section 14. Landlord’s Right of Access
(a) Landlord and its authorized representatives have the right to enter the Premises during Tenant’s regular
business hours for the purpose of (i) determining whether the Premises are in good condition and whether
Tenant is complying with its obligations arising under the terms of this Lease, (ii) performing any
maintenance or repairs for which Landlord is responsible under the terms of this Lease, and (iii) showing the
Premises to prospective purchasers or lenders, and during the last twelve (12) months of the Term or after an
Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), showing the Premises to potential tenants. Landlord has the right to
enter the Premises at all times without notice in the event of an emergency or for the purpose of making
emergency repairs; under other circumstances, Landlord must give Tenant reasonable advance written notice
of Landlord’s intended entry (which need not be more than 48 hours in advance of that entry). Tenant may
condition access to designated areas of the Premises that contain confidential information upon the accessing
party’s execution of a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Tenant and to the right of Tenant to
have a representative of Tenant accompany such party(ies); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything
in this Lease to the contrary, in the event Tenant denies access to all or any portion of the Premises to any
contractor or agent of Landlord seeking entry in the event of an emergency or for the purposes of making
21
Exhibit 10.7
repairs required of Landlord, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant of any kind or character with regard to
the items or matters sought to be remedied or otherwise addressed by the party or parties refused access by
Tenant.
(b) Landlord shall conduct its activities in the Premises in a manner that will cause minimum interference with
Tenant’s business operations.
Section 15. Tenant’s Indemnity
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 18, TENANT SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD
LANDLORD HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS, DEMANDS, JUDGMENTS, DAMAGES,
LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING REASONABLE LEGAL FEES, THAT MAY BE ASSERTED AGAINST
LANDLORD OR THAT LANDLORD MAY SUSTAIN BY VIRTUE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE DEATH OF OR
BODILY INJURY TO ANY PERSON OR THE LOSS OF, DAMAGE TO, OR DESTRUCTION OF, ANY PROPERTY ARISING

Section 17. Insurance
i. Commencing with the Waterford I Commencement Date with respect to the Waterford I Premises and the
Waterford II Commencement Date with respect to the Waterford II Premises, and continuing for the balance
of the Term, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provide and maintain a “special form”
insurance policy (including fire and standard extended coverage perils, leakage from fire protective devices
and other water damage, excluding flood) covering loss or damage to the Improvements (including, without
limitation, the Waterford I Premises and the Waterford II Premises and any alterations made to the Premises
from time to time) on a full replacement cost basis and providing for a deductible of no greater than $50,000.
Such insurance shall include an agreed amount endorsement and no coinsurance provisions and contain no
exclusions for vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, or “act of terrorism” (as such term is defined
in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002). Boiler and Machinery Coverage shall be procured either by
endorsement to the property policy or under a separate placement in an amount no less than 100% of the
replacement cost or as otherwise approved by Landlord. The property insurance shall (1) have an extended
period of indemnity of not less than 6 months; and (2) cover “acts of terrorism” (as such term is defined in the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002), unless otherwise agreed to in writing. The cost for all coverages
described herein shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (30)
days following Landlord’s written request therefor. In the event of a casualty, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
lesser of the amount of the deductible or the full amount of the loss in the case of a loss in an amount less than
the deductible, which payment shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be due and payable by Tenant upon
the later of: (i) within thirty (30) days of the date of the casualty, and (ii) with Tenant’s next installment of
monthly Rent immediately following Landlord’s written request therefor.
ii. Commencing with the Waterford I Commencement Date with respect to the Waterford I Premises and the
Waterford II Commencement Date with respect to the Waterford II Premises, and continuing for the balance
of the Term, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, provide and maintain the following insurance, in the
amounts specified below:
a. property insurance covering Tenant’s machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures, personal property
(including property under the care, custody, or control of Tenant) and business interests which may be
located in, upon or about the Premises in such amounts as Tenant may from time to time deem
prudent.
b. business interruption insurance in an amount sufficient to provide for the payment of Rent during the
continuation of any interruption
23
Exhibit 10.7
of the Tenant’s business for a period of at least 12 months. Upon any casualty to the Premises allowing
Tenant to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 19 hereof, Landlord shall have no claim against the
business interruption insurance proceeds of Tenant after the date of termination.
c. bodily injury and property damage liability insurance, with a limit of not less than $2,000,000 per
occurrence and $4,000,000 in the aggregate; such insurance will be on commercial general liability
form 001 (or its equivalent) including, without limitation, personal injury and assumed contractual
liability with regard to the indemnity agreements of Tenant set forth in Section 15; Tenant shall cause
Landlord and its lender to be named as additional insureds under such liability insurance, as their
interests may appear, and shall cause such coverage to include cross liability and severability of
interests clauses and, unless otherwise approved in writing by Landlord, to have a deductible of
$25,000 or less and no retention or self-insurance provision;
d. worker’s compensation insurance insuring against and satisfying Tenant’s obligations and liabilities
under the worker’s compensation laws of the State of South Carolina and employers’ liability
insurance in the limit of $500,000/500,000/500,000 (provided that such limits may be adjusted if
required by law and Tenant may self-insure this obligation pursuant to a program of self-insurance if
permissible under applicable law);
e. if Tenant operates owned, hired or non-owned vehicles on the Premises, comprehensive automobile
liability will be carried at a limit of liability not less than $1,000,000 combined bodily injury and
property damage; and
f. umbrella or excess liability insurance written on an occurrence basis and covering claims in excess of
the underlying insurance described in the foregoing subsections (iii), (iv) and (v) above, with a
$15,000,000 minimum limit per occurrence. Such insurance shall contain a provision that it will not be
more restrictive than the primary insurance and shall drop down as primary insurance in the event the
underlying insurance policy aggregate is exhausted.
Each coverage in this Section 17(b) shall include a waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor of Landlord and
Landlord’s lender.
iii. All insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Section 17 must be maintained with
insurers licensed to do business in the State of South Carolina and having an A.M. Best Rating of at least A-
and VIII.
iv. Tenant may provide the insurance required by virtue of the terms of this Lease by means of a combination of
primary and excess or umbrella coverage and by means of a policy or policies of blanket insurance so long as
(i) the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Premises under the
24
Exhibit 10.7
terms of the blanket policy or policies furnishes protection equivalent to that of separate policies in the
amounts required by the terms of this Lease, and (ii) the blanket policy or policies comply in all other respects
with the other requirements of this Lease.
v. The required deductibles, limits and coverages of all insurance set forth in this Section 17 may be adjusted
from time to time by Landlord (but not more frequently than once every 5 years) to conform with customary
and prevailing insurance policies at the time in the city in which the Premises are located or of securitized
mortgage lending.
vi. Within five (5) days of the Effective Date with respect to the Waterford I Premises, prior to the Waterford II
Commencement Date, and at least 5 days prior to each policy anniversary, Tenant shall furnish Landlord and
its lenders with certificates of insurance or binders, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and its
lenders, evidencing that all of the insurance required by the provisions of this Lease for the benefit of
Landlord and its lenders, and required to be in force by the provisions of this Lease are in effect and that the
insurer(s) have agreed to give the other party at least 30 days’ notice prior to any cancellation of, or any
material modification to, the required coverage. Such certificates of insurance/binders shall be executed by
each insurer or by an authorized representative of each insurer where it is not practical for such insurer to
execute the certificate itself. Such certificates of insurance/binders shall identify underwriters, the type of
insurance, the insurance limits and deductibles and the policy term and shall specifically list the special
provisions enumerated for such insurance required by this Lease. Concurrently with the renewal of each
policy, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a report of an independent broker stating that the insurance
required under this Section 17 is in effect, that all premiums have been paid, and attaching an updated copy of
the schedule of insurance. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with each other in the collection of any
insurance proceeds which may be payable in the event of any loss, including the execution and delivery of any
proof of loss or other actions required to effect recovery. Tenant shall cause all commercial general liability
and property policies maintained by Tenant to be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not
supplemental to any coverage that Landlord may carry.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event any of the insurance coverage set forth herein as
required coverage to be maintained by Tenant becomes unavailable, or if available but only at such rates as to be
commercially unreasonable and are no longer typically required to be carried regarding premises comparable to the
Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in good faith to revise the applicable insurance coverage requirements
to reflect then current market considerations. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s lender must approve any such
revision of applicable insurance coverages.
Section 18. Waiver of Subrogation
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable (by way
of subrogation or otherwise) to the other party (or to any
25
Exhibit 10.7
insurance company insuring the other party) for any loss or damage to the property of the releasing party to the extent the loss or
damage is covered by property insurance carried or required by this Lease to be carried by the releasing party even though such loss
might have been occasioned by the negligence or willful acts or omissions of Landlord or Tenant or their respective
employees, agents, contractors or invitees. Landlord and Tenant shall give each insurance company which issues policies of
insurance, with respect to the items covered by this waiver, written notice of the terms of this mutual waiver, and shall have such
insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of any of the coverage provided by such insurance
policies by reason of such mutual waiver. For the purpose of the foregoing waiver, the amount of any deductible or self-insured
retention applicable to any loss or damage shall be deemed covered by, and recoverable by the insured under the insurance policy to
which such deductible or self-insured retention relates.
Section 19. Casualty
vii. If damage caused by a fire or other casualty renders a Building fully or partially untenantable, subject to
Tenant’s rights to terminate this Lease as set forth in this Section 19, neither the Base Rent nor any other
amounts payable under this Lease will abate for the period during which the Building is wholly or partially
untenantable.
viii. If a fire or other casualty renders the Premises untenantable, in whole or in part, and the estimated time for the
restoration of the Improvements exceeds the period that will expire on the date that is 270 days after the date
of the occurrence of the fire or casualty, Tenant may terminate this Lease by the delivery of written notice to
Landlord within 15 days following the date on which Landlord notifies Tenant of the estimated time for the
restoration of the Improvements. Landlord must provide that estimate within 60 days following the date of the
casualty. If a termination of this Lease does not occur in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Section 19(b), but Landlord fails to complete the restoration of the Improvements by the date that is 60 days
after the date of the expiration of the period within which Landlord estimated the restoration would be
completed, Tenant may, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, terminate this Lease by the
delivery of written notice to Landlord at any time following the expiration of that 60-day period, but prior to
the date on which Landlord completes the restoration of the Improvements. Upon any casualty to the Premises
allowing Tenant to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 19, Landlord shall have no claim against the
business interruption insurance proceeds of Tenant after the date of termination. Excusable Delays shall not
extend any of the time periods set forth in this Section 19(b) for more than one hundred eighty (180) days in
the aggregate.
ix. If fire or other casualty damages the Premises and a termination of this Lease does not occur under
subparagraph (b) of this Section 19, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the lesser of the amount of the deductible or
the full amount of the loss in the case of a loss in an amount less than the deductible (which payment shall be
due and payable by Tenant as Additional Rent hereunder upon the later of: (i) within thirty (30) days of
26
Exhibit 10.7
the date of the casualty, and (ii) with Tenant’s next installment of monthly Rent immediately following
Landlord’s written request therefor), and so long as Tenant is not in default beyond all applicable grace, notice
and cure periods under the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall restore the Improvements to substantially the
condition that existed prior to the occurrence of the fire or other casualty; provided, however, that with respect
to the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall be obligated to restore all items covered by Tenant’s property
insurance, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures, and personal
property, and Landlord shall only be obligated to restore the Tenant Improvements to the condition reflected
in the most recent as-built plans for the Tenant Improvements in Landlord’s possession; and provided further,
that if the casualty arises during the Waterford I Additional Improvements or the Waterford II Improvements,
Tenant and Landlord shall work together cooperatively to restore the Improvements in substantial accordance
with the Final Waterford I Improvement Plans and the Final Waterford II Plans. Landlord and Tenant shall
each pursue the restoration required by this subparagraph (c) of this Section 19 with diligence and continuity
upon and subject to receipt of the insurance proceeds covering such casualty. In completing the restoration,
Landlord and Tenant shall each comply with all applicable Legal Requirements. In performing their respective
restoration obligations, Landlord and Tenant must each restore their respective portions of the Premises so that
they comply with Legal Requirements applicable at the time of the restoration and not just the Legal
Requirements that were applicable at the time of original construction of the Premises. If the aggregate
amount of those insurance proceeds allocable to the Improvements exceeds the aggregate amount of the costs
Landlord reasonably incurs in connection with the restoration of the Improvements, Landlord is entitled to the
excess. Tenant is responsible for any excess costs incurred by Landlord in restoring the Improvements.
Section 20. Condemnation
x. If any part of the Premises or all legal access to the Premises is taken for public use by condemnation, eminent
domain or other similar action and the taking materially and adversely affects Tenant’s operations in the
Buildings, Tenant may immediately terminate this Lease by delivering notice to Landlord. Upon such
termination, Tenant shall after termination have no further obligation to pay Rent to Landlord and Landlord
shall look to the proceeds of the condemnation, eminent domain or other similar action for compensation for
such taking.
xi. If any part of the Premises is taken and Tenant does not terminate this Lease, Base Rent will be equitably
adjusted, and Landlord shall restore the remainder of the Premises at its expense as necessary to render them
suitable for Tenant’s use, so long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease.
27
Exhibit 10.7
xii. The entire award with respect to any taking shall be paid to Landlord, except that Tenant shall be entitled to
any award which the condemning authority may make, and which shall be provided for by law, specifically
for Tenant’s moving expenses and business dislocation damages and the value of Tenant’s fixtures,
alterations, installations and improvements which do not become part of the Premises or property of Landlord,
provided that same are not deducted from the award otherwise payable to Landlord.
Section 21. Compliance with Environmental Laws
xiii. Tenant shall timely comply at its sole cost and expense with all rules, requirements, orders, directives,
ordinances and regulations applicable to Tenant’s use, occupancy and maintenance of the Premises, including,
without limitation, all applicable environmental laws, rules, requirements, orders, directives, ordinances and
regulations of the United States of America or any state, city or municipal government or other lawful
authority having jurisdiction over the Premises (collectivelythe Environmental Laws”), and shall defend,
indemnify and hold Landlord and its members, managers, lenders, and their respective members, managers,
directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees, and contractors harmless from and against all claims,
obligations, demands, actions, proceedings, judgments, losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties and
expenses (including, without limitation, sums paid on settlement of claims, reasonable legal fees, and
reasonable consultant and expert fees and expenses) that any one or more of them may sustain by virtue of any
environmental condition that Tenant’s use, occupancy, and maintenance of the Premises causes and the
continued existence of which violates the Environmental Laws.
xiv. The provisions of this Section 21 survive the expiration of the Term or the earlier termination of this Lease.
xv. Except as used by Tenant in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, uses for
general offices, research and development, light manufacturing, telecommunications, storage, or other
purposes consistent with the character of the Buildings, and any such use by Tenant being in accordance with
applicable Legal Requirements (the foregoing uses not requiring Landlord’s consent), Tenant shall not cause
or permit any Hazardous Substances (as defined below) to be brought upon, kept or used in or about the
Premises or the Building, without the prior written consent of Landlord.
xvi. Hazardous Substance(s) shall mean any and all substances (whether solid, liquid or gas) defined, listed, or
otherwise classified as pollutants, hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, hazardous materials, extremely
hazardous wastes, or words of similar meaning or regulatory effect under any present Environmental Laws
including but not limited to petroleum and petroleum products, asbestos and asbestos-containing materials,
polychlorinated biphenyls, lead, radon, radioactive materials, flammables and explosives.

Exhibit 10.7
Section 22. Intentionally Deleted
Section 23. Intentionally Deleted
Section 24. Tenant’s Default
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events (inclusive of any applicable notice and cure period(s)
hereinafter referred to as “Event(s) of Default”) will constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
xvii. Tenant’s failure to pay any Base Rent or Additional Rent (including, without limitation, the Impositions)
when due and the continuance of that failure for more than 5 business days after the date on which Landlord
gives Tenant written notice of the delinquency, provided that Landlord is required to give notice of such
failure only twice in any 12-month period and Landlord is not required to give Tenant notice of default for the
third and subsequent Rent and other payment defaults during any 12-month period so that for those defaults,
an Event of Default occurs if Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due and the failure continues for a period of
five (5) business days;
xviii. Tenant’s failure to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease that Tenant
must observe or perform, other than the payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent or as specified in Section
24(c), where the failure continues for a period of 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice from
Landlord; but if the nature of the obligation that Tenant has failed to perform is such that more than 30 days
are reasonably required for its rectification, then an Event of Default will not occur so long as Tenant
commences the rectification within the initial 30-day period and diligently and continuously prosecutes the
rectification to completion; or
xix. Tenant’s failure to maintain the insurance required pursuant to Section 17 within five (5) business days after
written notice from Landlord to Tenant.
If Landlord and Tenant are in dispute over whether Tenant is in default (which for purposes of this paragraph only
shall be before any applicable notice and cure period) of a nonmonetary obligation and no emergency condition requiring immediate
action exists as a result of, or directly or indirectly related to, the alleged default, the parties’ respective representatives with
authority to settle the matter shall meet within 2 business days after request by either party in order to attempt to resolve the dispute.
Unless otherwise agreed by Landlord and Tenant, the meeting shall take place at the Premises. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, in the event it is determined pursuant to such resolution discussions that Tenant is in default of any such nonmonetary
matter, such matter shall not constitute an Event of Default if Tenant subsequently remedies such default within the time frame(s) set
forth in Section 24(b) above following such determination.
Section 25. Landlord’s Remedies
xx. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, with or without additional notice or demand,
Landlord may do one of the following:
29
Exhibit 10.7
g. terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and repossess the Premises by any lawful means
without terminating this Lease and relet, upon reasonable terms, all or a portion of the Premises (if
Landlord elects to enter and relet the Premises, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate
this Lease). For the purposes of re-letting, Landlord may repair, remodel, or alter the Premises. If
Landlord fails to re-let the Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent and Additional
Rent reserved in this Lease for the balance of the Term as those amounts become due in accordance
with the terms of this Lease. If Landlord re-lets the Premises but fails to realize a sufficient sum from
the re-letting to pay the full amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved in this Lease for the
balance of the Term as those amounts become due in accordance with the terms of this Lease, then
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any deficiency within 30 days of Tenant’s receipt of
Landlord’s demand;
h. terminate this Lease and repossess the Premises by any lawful means. In that event, Landlord may
recover from Tenant as damages (i) all Base Rent and Additional Rent (plus the cost necessary to
satisfy Tenant’s obligation to maintain and insure the Premises, as set forth under Sections 10 and 17,
respectively, of this Lease) that became due prior to the termination and that remains unpaid, (ii) the
discounted present value (determined based on then commercially reasonable rates) of the amount, if
any, by which (I) the Base Rent reserved under the terms of this Lease for the balance of the Term that
remained as of the effective date of the termination exceeds (II) the fair market rent (but not less than
the amount for which the Premises has been relet) for the Premises for the balance of the Term after
deduction of all anticipated reasonable expenses of reletting for that period, and (iii) all reasonable
costs and expenses Landlord reasonably incurs in connection with the enforcement of Tenant’s
obligation to pay those damages, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and costs. If the
amount described in clause (II) above exceeds the amount described in clause (I) above, then Landlord
has no obligation to pay Tenant any part of the excess or to credit any part of the excess against any
other sums or damages for which Tenant may be liable to Landlord at the time of the termination;
i. in the case of an Event of Default under Section 24(c) above, obtain the required insurance for Tenant,
and Tenant shall be liable for the reasonable cost thereof; or
j. pursue any other remedy available to Landlord under the laws of the State in which the Premises are
located.
xxi. Unless required by applicable law, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate damages upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default by Tenant. However, if Landlord is required by applicable law to mitigate Tenant’s
30
Exhibit 10.7
damages, Landlord’s obligation shall be satisfied in full if Landlord undertakes to lease the Premises to
another tenant (a Substitute Tenant”) in accordance with the following criteria: (1) Landlord shall have no
obligation to solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenants for the Premises until
Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises, including, without limitation, the final and
unappealable legal right to relet the Premises free of any claim of Tenant; (2) Landlord shall not be obligated
to lease or show the Premises, on a priority basis, or offer the Premises to a prospective tenant when other
premises in any other building owned by Landlord within a 3 mile radius of the Building suitable for that
prospective tenant’s use are (or soon will be) available; (3) Landlord shall not be obligated to lease the
Premises to a Substitute Tenant for a rent less than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar uses
in comparable buildings in the Rock Hill, South Carolina area; (4) Landlord shall not be obligated to enter into
a lease with a Substitute Tenant whose use would: (i) adversely affect the reputation of the Building; or (ii) be
incompatible with the operation of the Building; and (5) Landlord shall not be obligated to enter into a lease
with any proposed Substitute Tenant which does not have, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, sufficient
financial resources to operate the Premises in a first class manner and to fulfill all of the obligations in
connection with the lease thereof as and when the same become due.
xxii. Pursuit of any of the above stated remedies by Landlord after an Event of Default by Tenant shall not preclude
pursuit of any other remedy provided in this Lease or law or equity, nor shall pursuit of any remedy constitute
forfeiture or waiver of any payment due to Landlord. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any
of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of
any other violation or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. Forbearance by
Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an Event of Default by Tenant shall not
be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other violation or default.
Section 26. Landlord’s Default and Tenant’s Remedies
xxiii. If Landlord defaults in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations set forth in this Lease, and if (i)
Landlord’s default creates or increases the risk of imminent danger of bodily injury to or death of persons or
damage to or destruction of property, including, without limitation, the Buildings or Tenant’s property, and
either Landlord does not commence the rectification of its default promptly upon Tenant’s delivery of oral or
written notice of the default to Landlord or Landlord fails to pursue the rectification of its default with
diligence and continuity or (ii) Landlord’s default does not create or increase the risk of imminent danger of
bodily injury to or death of persons or damage to or destruction of property, including, without limitation, the
Buildings or Tenant’s property and Landlord fails to rectify its default within 30 days after Tenant’s delivery
of written notice of the default to Landlord or within such longer period of
31
Exhibit 10.7
time following the delivery of that notice as may be reasonably required to accomplish the rectification of the
default through the exercise of prompt, diligent and continuous efforts, then Tenant may perform the
obligation on behalf of Landlord. Landlord shall pay to Tenant within 30 days after the date of Landlord’s
receipt of Tenant’s invoice the full amount of the reasonable cost and expense Tenant incurs in performing the
obligation on behalf of Landlord, together with the amount of any reasonable legal fees Tenant incurs in
instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding by reason of any default in respect of any
obligation Landlord has undertaken under the terms of this Lease.
xxiv. If Landlord does not pay any amounts owing to Tenant under Section 10(e) or Section 26(a) and Tenant
obtains a final, non-appealable judgment against Landlord in a court of competent jurisdiction, then Tenant
may set off the amount of the judgment, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and court costs
included in the judgment, against the next installments of Base Rent coming due under this Lease.
Section 27. Late Payments; Interest on Late Payments
If Tenant becomes delinquent with respect to the payment of any Rent becoming due under the terms of this Lease
and the default continues for more than five (5) days after the due date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord with the late payment a
late fee equal to 4% of the amount of the payment; provided, however that such late fee shall not be due the first time such
delinquency occurs during any successive twelve (12) month period. Any past due payment of Rent under this Lease will bear
interest from the date due until the date paid at the rate of ten percent (10.0%) per annum (theDefault Rate”). Any amount with
respect to which Landlord becomes delinquent in making payment to Tenant as required by this Lease will also bear interest from
the date due until the date paid at the Default Rate.
Section 28. Quiet Enjoyment
Landlord warrants that, so long as Tenant pays all Base Rent and Additional Rent that becomes due under the terms
of this Lease and is not otherwise in default beyond any applicable cure period in respect of the performance of any obligation it
undertakes under the terms of this Lease, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises at all times during the Term without
disturbance by anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord (including, without limitation, any applicable mortgagee of
Landlord’s interest in the Lease or the Premises).
Section 29. Subordination, Attornment & Non-Disturbance
At Landlord’s request, and subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, Tenant shall subordinate its rights under
this Lease to the lien of any first mortgage or first deed of trust hereinafter executed in favor of any bank, insurance company or
other lending institution against the Premises. As a condition to any subordination that Landlord requests, the mortgage holder must
execute an agreement in substantially the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit F. Simultaneously with the execution of this Lease
by Landlord, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”) in the form
of Exhibit F executed by the holder of any mortgage encumbering the Premises as of the Effective Date. Landlord agrees to deliver
to Tenant a SNDA from any mortgage of the Premises existing after the Effective Date.
32
Exhibit 10.7
Section 30. Landlord’s Sale of Premises
Provided the Improvements have been completed and delivered to Tenant as herein provided and the Waterford II
Commencement Date shall have occurred, if Landlord subsequently sells the Premises, the purchaser shall expressly assume the
obligations Landlord undertakes under the terms of this Lease and Landlord shall thereupon be relieved from liability arising under
the terms of this Lease by reason of any act, occurrence or omission occurring after the consummation of the sale. The parties do not
intend the foregoing to relieve Landlord from those obligations that the terms of this Lease require Landlord to perform prior to the
sale.
Section 31. Broker’s Commissions
Each party represents to the other that the only broker used in connection with this Lease is Cresa Global, Inc., whose
commission Landlord shall pay, pursuant to a separate written agreement, provided that such commission shall be included in the
Total Project Cost. Each party shall defend and indemnify the other from and against any claims, demands and actions brought by
any broker or other finder to recover a brokerage commission or any other damages on the basis of alleged dealings with the
indemnifying party contrary to the foregoing representation.
Section 32. Estoppel Certificate
Within 20 days after a party’s receipt of a written request from the other party, the requested party shall execute and
deliver to the requesting party a statement in substantially the form of the attached Exhibit G that (i) certifies that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, states the nature of the modification and certifies that this Lease as so
modified is in full force and effect) and the date to which Base Rent is paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledges that, to the
requested party’s knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the part of either party or specifies such defaults if the requested party
claims any.
Section 33. Holding Over
Except as set forth below, if Tenant continues to occupy the Premises after the expiration or other termination of this
Lease or the termination of Tenant’s right of possession, such occupancy shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Tenant shall,
throughout the entire holdover period, be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease (other than provisions relating to length
of the Term) at a Base Rent equal to 150% of the Base Rent payable during the month in which the Expiration Date occurs. Except
as set forth below, no holding over by Tenant or payments of money by Tenant to Landlord after the expiration of the Term shall be
construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from recovery of immediate possession of the Premises by summary proceedings
or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if Tenant should find it necessary to hold over, Tenant may
give written notice (the “Hold Over Notice”) to Landlord that it intends to hold over not less than 9 months prior to the expiration or
termination of the Term. If Tenant timely provides the Hold Over Notice, Tenant may hold over and continue to occupy the
Premises for the period of 3 months at the Base Rent payable during the month in which the Expiration Date occurs.
Section 34. Assignment and Subletting
So long as the Premises are used for the Intended Use, Tenant may transfer or assign its interest in this Lease and may
sublet all or a portion of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or
sublet all or a
33
Exhibit 10.7
portion of the Premises to an entity or person that intends to use the Premises for other than the Intended Use, then Tenant must
obtain Landlord’s written consent prior to such assignment or sublease. Landlord may not unreasonably withhold, condition, or
delay its consent. No subletting, assignment of rights, or delegation of duties that Tenant may make will relieve Tenant from liability
for the performance of the obligations Tenant undertakes under the terms of this Lease, unless Landlord, in its sole discretion, grants
such relief. Landlord has no recapture rights in connection with any assignment or sublease.

WATERFORD I ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS
1. Plans and Specifications. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date, Tenant shall engage properly
licensed architects, civil engineers and any other engineers or consultants necessary and appropriate to design, construct and install
the Waterford I Additional Improvements. Tenant shall proceed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement from
the Waterford I TI Allowance), to prepare a draft of the improvements that Tenant desires to perform to the Waterford I Premises
and shall deliver a complete copy of such draft plans and specifications to Landlord for Landlord’s review and written approval.
Landlord shall review the draft plans and specifications and shall notify Tenant within seven (7) business days after Landlord’s
receipt of the same as to whether Landlord approves the draft plans and specifications; if Landlord does not approve the draft plans
and specifications, such notice from Landlord to Tenant shall provide Landlord’s specific and detailed comments and suggestions
which, if incorporated in the draft plans and specifications, would render the draft plans and specifications acceptable to Landlord.
Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with one another in good faith to reach agreement regarding the draft plans and specifications
as soon as reasonably practicable using good faith and diligent efforts; provided, that Landlord shall only have five (5) business days
to review and approve any revised plans or specifications, and should Landlord fail to respond within such five (5) business day
period, such plans and specifications shall be deemed approved. The final, mutually approved plans and specifications are referred to
herein as theWaterford I Improvement Plans.” The work which is described on such Waterford I Improvement Plans is referred
to herein as the “Waterford I Additional Improvements.”
2. Construction of Waterford I Additional Improvements.
(a) Tenant shall submit the Waterford I Improvement Plans to three or four South Carolina licensed and qualified general
contractors for bids and then select a general contractor, which shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant
may also pursue a Design-Build solution. The following terms and provisions shall apply with regard to Tenant’s
general contractor and the qualifications of Tenant’s general contractor:
(i) The terms of any agreement to install the Waterford I Additional Improvements shall be governed by a
separate construction contract signed by Tenant and Tenant’s general contractor, the construction contract
shall be prepared using an applicable AIA contract form for such project, and the construction contract shall
be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. A
true and complete copy of such construction contract (and all subsequent amendments thereto) shall be
delivered by Tenant to Landlord promptly following the execution thereof. Tenant shall assign to Landlord, or
provide that Landlord is a third-party beneficiary of, Tenant’s rights under the construction agreement
described herein and any agreements with design professionals (including any architects, engineers, designers
or otherwise).
(ii) Tenant shall not commence (or cause or permit to be commenced) the construction of the Waterford I
Additional Improvements until all aspects of the Waterford I Improvement Plans have been approved in
writing by
43
Exhibit 10.7
Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delay). Throughout the entire period
between the date on which Tenant’s general contractor commences construction of the Waterford I
Improvements and date of completion of the Waterford I Improvements, Landlord shall maintain in force with
respect to the Waterford I Improvements an all-risk builder’s risk insurance policy on a completed value basis
in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Waterford I Improvements, which policy shall name
Tenant and Tenant’s general contractor as additional insureds and have a deductible of no more than $50,000.
The premium for such policy shall be paid directly by Landlord and included in the Total Project Cost (as
defined in Section 6 of this Lease). In the event of a casualty, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the lesser of the
amount of the deductible or the full amount of the loss in the case of a loss in an amount less than the
deductible, which payment shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder and shall be due and payable by
Tenant upon the later of: (i) within thirty (30) days of the date of the casualty, and (ii) with Tenant’s next
installment of monthly Rent immediately following Landlord’s written request therefor. Tenant and its general
contractor shall each maintain general liability insurance (in form and amounts reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord) naming Landlord (and its lender, if applicable) as additional insured(s) on additional insured
endorsement GC 2010-1185 (or its equivalent). In addition, Tenant shall cause Tenant’s general contractor to
maintain workers’ compensation insurance and all other insurance coverages (if any) that are required by
applicable law and shall promptly provide to Landlord reasonable documentary evidence of such additional
insurance coverage(s). Each party shall deliver certificates of insurance to the other evidencing such policies,
and such policies shall provide that no cancellation, surrender or material change will become effective unless
each additional insured receives written notice at least 30 days in advance of the time at which such
cancellation, surrender or material change becomes effective. All insurance required to be maintained
pursuant to this Section must be maintained with insurers authorized to do business in the State of South
Carolina and having an A.M. Best Rating of A- and VIII or higher. Prior to commencing any work, each
named insured shall deliver to the additional insured(s) such certificates as may be reasonably requested to
establish that the insurance coverage required by this Section is in effect from time to time and that the
insurer(s) have agreed to give the other party at least 30 days’ notice prior to any cancellation of, or material
modification to, the required coverage.
(iii) Tenant shall complete the Waterford I Additional Improvements free of all mechanic’s liens and any other
liens, and Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, actions,
losses, costs, damages, expenses, liabilities and obligations whatsoever, including, without limitation,
reasonable legal fees resulting from (A) the assertion or filing of any claim for amounts alleged to be due to
the claimant for labor, services, materials, supplies, machinery, fixtures or equipment furnished in connection
with the construction of the Waterford I Additional Improvements, (B) the foreclosure of any mechanic’s or
44
Exhibit 10.7
materialmen’s lien that allegedly secures the amounts allegedly owed to the claimant, or (C) any other legal
proceedings initiated in connection with that claim.
(b) The Waterford I Additional Improvements shall be diligently constructed and installed (i) using new materials of
good quality and (ii) in a professional and good workmanlike manner, all in accordance with the approved Waterford
I Improvement Plans and applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, for obtaining all required permits and approvals related to the Waterford I Additional Improvements, and
Tenant shall not commence the Waterford I Additional Improvements until Tenant has received all applicable
governmental approvals (necessary for such work to be commenced). Landlord and Landlord’s representatives shall
be entitled to enter the Waterford I Premises at reasonable times during normal business hours upon reasonable
advanced notice during the installation of the Waterford I Additional Improvements for the purpose of inspecting the
same and confirming compliance by Tenant with the terms and provisions of this Lease.
3. Payment for Waterford I Additional Improvements.
(a) Waterford I TI Allowance. Landlord shall contribute a sum not to exceed $500,000.00 (the Waterford I TI
Allowance”) toward the reasonable, out-of-pocket “hard” and “soft” costs incurred by Tenant in performing the
Waterford I Additional Improvements. Within fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of a request
for payment, together with all relevant invoices, a certification signed by an authorized representative of Tenant
referenced in Section 4(b) of this Lease certifying that the Waterford I Additional Improvements work is complete
and satisfactory to Tenant, and unconditional lien releases from all applicable contractors, Landlord shall pay each
respective contractor requested by Landlord to be paid for Waterford I Additional Improvements up to the amount of
the Waterford I TI Allowance.
(b) If the amount remaining of the Waterford I TI Allowance is less than the final cost of any Waterford I Additional
Improvements, Tenant shall be responsible for any excess costs. Landlord’s obligation to provide the Waterford I TI
Allowance shall expire on June 30, 2022.
(c) Waterford I Additional Improvement Funds. In addition to the Waterford I TI Allowance, Landlord agrees to provide
Tenant up to $2,000,000 (the “Waterford I Additional Improvement Funds”) for use by Tenant to make additional
improvements to the Waterford I Premises, all in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Lease. Any costs for Waterford I Additional Improvements in excess of the Waterford I TI Allowance shall be
requested by Tenant of Landlord in the manner described in Section 3(a) of this Exhibit B. Following receipt of
Tenant’s request and all required documentation, Landlord shall pay each respective contractor, and each such
payment shall be deemed Waterford I Additional Improvement Funds. Each disbursement of Waterford I Additional
Improvement Funds shall accrue interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum from the date of such disbursement. Landlord’s
obligation to provide the Waterford I Additional Improvement Funds shall expire on June 30, 2022. On or before July
1, 2022, Landlord will calculate the aggregate Waterford I Additional
45
Exhibit 10.7
Improvement Funds advanced and the accrued interest thereon (the “Final Waterford I AIF Amount”), and
commencing July 1, 2022, Tenant shall pay Waterford I AIF Additional Rent in accordance with Section 6(b) of this

2. Term.
The term of Executive’s employment by Company under this Agreement (theEmployment Period”) shall commence on
the Effective Date and shall continue in effect through the second (2 ) anniversary of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated as

thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current term, the Employment Period shall be extended for an additional twelve
(12) months. If Company elects not to renew the Employment Period at the end of the initial term or any renewal term, such
nonrenewal shall be treated as a termination of the Employment Period and Executive’s employment without Cause by Company for
the limited purpose of determining the payments and benefits available to Executive under this Agreement (e.g., Executive shall be

based on performance, which may be less than or exceed the Target Performance Bonus. Performance Bonuses, if any, shall be paid
according to the terms of the bonus plan or program in which Executive participates from time to time. Subject to Section 4.5.1 and
Section 4.5.3 below, Executive must be employed to be entitled to any portion of any Performance Bonus, and the Performance
Bonus shall not be considered earned under this Agreement until such Bonus is paid.

any profit sharing plan, retirement plan, group life insurance plan or other insurance plan or medical expense plan maintained by

decide to discontinue or amend any particular benefit plan for other executives.
iii..Perquisites. Executive shall be entitled to such other benefits and perquisites that are generally available to Company’s
executive employees and as provided in accordance with Company’s plans, practices, policies and programs for executive

and Executive shall not be entitled to any award if Executive does not sign, or comply with, the terms of any plan or agreement
required for the award.
4. Termination of Services Prior To Expiration of Agreement.
Executive’s employment and the Employment Period may be terminated at any time as follows (the effective date of such
termination hereinafter referred to as the “Termination Date”):
a. Termination upon Death or Disability of Executive.
i..Executive’s employment and the Employment Period shall terminate immediately upon the death of Executive. In such
event, all rights of Executive and/or Executive’s estate (or
3
Exhibit 10.32
named beneficiary) shall cease except for the right to receive payment of the amounts set forth in Section 4.5.3 of the Agreement.
ii..Company may terminate Executive’s employment and the Employment Period upon the disability of Executive. For
purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall be deemed to bedisabled if Executive, as a result of illness or incapacity, shall be
unable to perform substantially Executive’s required duties for a period of three (3) consecutive months or for any aggregate period
of three (3) months in any six (6) month period. In the event of a dispute as to whether Executive is disabled, Company may refer
Executive to a licensed practicing physician who is mutually acceptable to Executive and Company, and Executive agrees to submit
to such tests and examination as such physician shall deem appropriate to determine Executive’s capacity to perform the services
required to be performed by Executive hereunder. In such event, the parties hereby agree that the decision of such physician as to the
disability of Executive shall be final and binding on the parties. Any termination of the Employment Period under this Section 4.1.2
shall be effected without any adverse effect on Executive’s rights to receive benefits under any disability policy of Company, but
shall not be treated as a termination without Cause and Executive shall be entitled to no further benefits or compensation under this
Agreement.
b. Termination by Company for Cause. Company may terminate Executive’s employment and the Employment Period
for Cause (as defined herein) upon written notice to Executive, which termination shall be effective on the date specified by
Company in such notice; provided, however, that in respect of Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.4 only, Executive shall have a period of ten
(10) days after the receipt of the written notice from Company to cure the particular action or inaction, to the extent a cure is
possible. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean:
i..The willful failure by Executive to perform Executive’s duties and obligations hereunder in any material respect, as
determined by the Chief Executive Officer of Company in his reasonable judgment, other than any such failure resulting from the
disability of Executive;
ii..Executive’s commission of a crime or offense involving the property of Company, or any crime or offense constituting a
felony or involving fraud or moral turpitude;
iii..Executive’s violation of any law, which violation is materially injurious or could reasonably be expected to be materially
injurious to the operations, prospects or reputation of Company;
iv..Executive’s material violation of this Agreement or any generally recognized policy of Company or Executive’s refusal to
follow Company’s reasonable and lawful instructions;
v..Executive’s commission, by act or omission, of any material act of dishonesty in performing employment duties; or
vi..Executive’s use of alcohol or illegal drugs that interferes with performing employment duties, as determined by Company.
4
Exhibit 10.32
Any notice of termination for Cause provided to Executive pursuant to Sections 4.2.1, 4.2.4 or 4.2.5 shall specify in reasonable detail
specific facts regarding any such assertion.
c. Termination by Company without Cause; Termination by Executive without Constructive Discharge. Executive
may terminate Executive’s employment and the Employment Period at any time for any reason upon thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice to Company. Company may terminate Executive’s employment and the Employment Period without Cause effective
immediately upon written notice to Executive. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with Company for any reason,
Executive shall be deemed to have resigned from all positions with the Company and each of its subsidiaries and shall take all
appropriate steps and cooperate with Company to effect such terminations (provided, that any such deemed resignations shall not
affect Executive’s entitlement (if any) to severance pay and benefits hereunder).
d. Termination by Executive for Constructive Discharge.
i..Executive may terminate Executive’s employment and the Employment Period, in accordance with the process set forth
below, as a result of a Constructive Discharge. For purposes of this Agreement Constructive Discharge” shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following:
(1) a failure of Company to meet its obligations in any material respect under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, any failure to pay the Base Salary (other than the inadvertent failure to pay a de minimis amount of the Base
Salary, which payment is immediately made by Company upon notice from Executive); or
(ii) a material diminution in or other substantial adverse alteration in the nature or scope of Executive’s
responsibilities, authority, or duties with Company from those in effect on the Effective Date.
In the event of the occurrence of a Constructive Discharge, Executive shall have the right to terminate Executive’s
employment hereunder and receive the benefits set forth in Section 4.5.1 below, upon delivery of written notice to Company no
later than the close of business on the sixtieth (60th) day following the effective date of the Constructive Discharge; provided,
however, that such termination shall not be effective until the expiration of thirty (30) days after receipt by Company of such
written notice if Company has not cured such Constructive Discharge within the 30-day period. If Company so effects a cure, the
Constructive Discharge notice shall be deemed rescinded and of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such notice and
lapse of time shall not be required with respect to any event or circumstance which is the same or substantially the same as an event
or circumstance with respect to which notice and an opportunity to cure has been given within the previous six (6) months. The
Termination Date due to Constructive Discharge shall be the date of Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of
Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A1(h)).
e. Rights upon Termination. Upon termination of Executive’s employment and the Employment Period, the following
shall apply:
5
Exhibit 10.32
i..Termination by Company Without Cause or for Constructive Discharge. If Company terminates Executive’s
employment and the Employment Period without Cause, or if Executive terminates Executive’s employment and the Employment
Period as a result of a Constructive Discharge, Executive shall be entitled to receive payment of any Base Salary amounts that have
accrued but have not been paid as of the Termination Date, and the unpaid Performance Bonus, if any, with respect to the calendar
year preceding the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs (such Performance Bonus, if any, to be determined in the
manner that it would have been determined, and payable at the time it would have been payable, under Section 3.2 had there been no
termination of the Employment Period). In addition, subject to Sections 4.5.2 and 4.7, below, Company shall, subject to Sections
8.13, 8.14 and 8.15, be obligated to pay Executive (or provide Executive with) the following benefits as severance:
(1) an amount equal to 100% of Base Salary, payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments
commencing on the Termination Date, such amount to be payable regardless of whether Executive obtains other employment and is
compensated therefor (but only so long as Executive is not in violation of any provision of Section 5) (with the first two (2)
installments to be paid on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date and the remaining ten (10) installments being paid
on the ten (10) following monthly anniversaries of such date);
(2) any unused vacation time accrued in the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs, but only
to extent Company policy mandates the accrual of vacation tme; and
(3) if Executive elects to continue Executive’s then current enrollment (including family enrollment, if
applicable) in the health and/or dental insurance benefits set forth in Section 3.3.2 in accordance with COBRA, then for a period of
up to twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, the Company will continue to pay a portion of the premiums such that
Executive’s contribution to such plans will remain the same as if Executive were employed by Company, such contributions to be
paid by Executive in the same period (e.g., monthly, bi-weekly, etc.) as all other employees of Company (but deductions from
Executive’s monthly severance payments may be deemed acceptable for this purpose in the discretion of Company); provided,
however that Company may terminate such coverage if payment from Executive is not made within ten (10) days of the date on
which Executive receives written notice from Company that such payment is due; and provided, further, that such benefits shall be
discontinued earlier to the extent that Executive is no longer eligible for COBRA continuation coverage. In addition, this benefit is
contingent upon timely election of COBRA continuation coverage and will run concurrent with the COBRA period. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the amount of any such premiums paid by the Company will constitute taxable wages for income and
employment tax purposes.
For purposes of Section 409A of the Code (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)
(2)(iii)), Executive’s right to receive the foregoing payments shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and,
accordingly, each installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment.
6
Exhibit 10.32
ii..Termination With Cause by Company or Without Constructive Discharge by Executive. If Company terminates
Executive’s employment and the Employment Period with Cause, or if Executive terminates Executive’s employment and the
Employment Period other than as a result of a Constructive Discharge, (i) Company shall be obligated to pay Executive any Base
Salary amounts that have accrued but have not been paid as of the Termination Date, (ii) any unpaid Performance Bonus to which
Executive otherwise would be entitled shall be forfeited, and (iii) any unused vacation time accrued in the calendar year in which the
Termination Date occurs, but only to extent that Company policy mandates the accrual of vacation time.
iii..Termination Upon Death or Disability. If Executive’s employment and the Employment Period are terminated because
of the death of Executive or because Executive is disabled, Company shall, subject to Sections 8.13 and 8.14, be obligated to pay
Executive or, if applicable, Executive’s estate, the following amounts: (i) earned but unpaid Base Salary; (ii) the unpaid Performance
Bonus, if any, with respect to the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs (such Performance
Bonus, if any, to be determined in the manner it would have been determined, and payable at the time it would have been payable,
under Section 3.2 had there been no termination of the Employment Period); and (iii) any unused vacation time accrued in the
calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs, but only to extent that Company policy mandates the accrual of vacation time.
f. Effect of Notice of Termination. Any notice of termination by Company, in the discretion of the Company, whether for
Cause or without Cause, may specify that, during the notice period, Executive need not attend to any business on behalf of
Company.
g. Requirement of a Release; Exclusivity of Severance Payments under this Agreement. As a condition to the receipt
of the severance payments and termination benefits to be provided to Executive pursuant to this Section 4 upon termination of
Executive’s employment without Cause or with Constructive Discharge, Executive shall execute and deliver to Company (without
revoking during any applicable revocation period specified in the release) a general release of claims against Company and its
affiliates in a customary form reasonably satisfactory to Company within forty-five (45) days following the Termination Date, which
shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Company (provided, that Executive shall not be required to release any rights under
this Agreement or any other agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to any payments or obligations of the
Company or such affiliates that under the terms of the applicable agreement are to be made or satisfied after the Termination Date,
any rights to insurance coverage or any rights under benefit plans that by their terms survive the termination of Executive’s
employment, or any indemnification or related rights under Company’s certificate of incorporation or Bylaws or under any
indemnification agreement between Company and Executive or any rights under any director and officer liability insurance policy
maintained by Company for the benefit of Executive). In addition, the severance payments and termination benefits to be provided to
Executive pursuant to this Section 4 upon termination of Executive’s employment shall constitute the exclusive payments in the
nature of severance or termination pay or salary continuation which shall be due to Executive upon a termination of employment and
shall be in lieu of any other such payments under any severance plan, program, policy or other arrangement which has heretofore
been or shall hereafter be
7
Exhibit 10.32
established by Company or any of its affiliates, other than payments to Executive under any indemnification or related rights under
Company’s certificate of incorporation or Bylaws or under any indemnification agreement between Company and Executive or
under any director and officer liability insurance policy maintained by Company for the benefit of Executive. Without limiting
Executive’s obligations under Section 5.10, Executive shall furthermore agree, as a condition to Company’s obligation to pay
severance payments and termination benefits, to return any and all Company property and to abide by any existing restrictive
covenant obligations set forth in this Agreement that survive the termination of this Agreement.
5. Restrictive Covenants.
The growth and development of Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, 3D Systems”) depends to a
significant degree on the possession and protection of its customer list, customer information and other confidential and proprietary
information relating to 3D Systems’ products, services, methods, pricing, costs, research and development and marketing. All 3D
Systems employees and others engaged to perform services for 3D Systems have a common interest and responsibility in seeing that
such customer information and other Confidential Information, as that term is defined in Section 5.6 below, is not disclosed to any
unauthorized persons or used other than for 3D Systems’ benefit. This Section 5 expresses a common understanding concerning
Company’s and Executive’s mutual responsibilities. Therefore, in consideration for Company’s agreement to employ or continue to
employ Executive and grant Executive access to its Confidential Information, trade secrets, customer relationships and business
goodwill, and for other good and valuable consideration from Company, including, without limitation, compensation, benefits,
raises, bonus payments or promotions, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and the severance benefits
payable pursuant to Section 4.5, Executive covenants and agrees as follows, which covenant and agreement is essential to this
Agreement and Executive’s employment with Company:
a. Non-Solicitation. Executive acknowledges that the identity and particular needs of 3D Systems’ customers are not
generally known and were not known to Executive prior to Executive’s employment with 3D Systems; that 3D Systems has
relationships with, and a proprietary interest in the identity of, its customers and their particular needs and requirements; and that
documents and information regarding 3D Systems’ pricing, sales, costs and specialized requirements of 3D Systems’ customers are
highly confidential and constitute trade secrets. Accordingly, Executive covenants and agrees that during the Employment Period
and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, regardless of the reason for such termination, Executive will not,
except on behalf of 3D Systems during and within the authorized scope of Executive’s employment with 3D Systems, directly or
indirectly: (i) call on, sell to, solicit or otherwise deal with any accounts, customers or prospects of 3D Systems which Executive
called upon, contacted, solicited, sold to, or about which Executive learned Confidential Information (as defined herein) while
employed by 3D Systems, for the purpose of soliciting, selling and/or providing, to any such account, customer or prospect, any
products or services similar to or in competition with any products or services then being sold by 3D Systems; or (ii) solicit the
services of any person who is an employee of 3D Systems; or (iii)
8
Exhibit 10.32
solicit, induce or entice any employee of 3D Systems to terminate employment with 3D Systems, or work for anyone in competition
with 3D Systems or its subsidiaries.
b. Non-Interference with Business Relationships. Executive covenants and agrees that during the Employment Period
and for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Termination Date, regardless of the reason for such termination, Executive will
not interfere with the relationship or prospective relationship between 3D Systems and any person or entity with which 3D Systems
has a business relationship, or with which 3D Systems is preparing to have a business relationship.
c. Non-Competition.
Executive agrees that during the Employment Period and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Termination Date,
regardless of the reason for such termination, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for Executive’s own benefit or for the
benefit of others, render services for a Competing Organization in connection with Competing Products or Services anywhere within
the Restricted Territory. These prohibitions shall apply regardless of where such services physically are rendered.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Competing Products or Services” means products, processes, or services of any person or
organization other than 3D Systems, in existence or under development, which are substantially the same, may be substituted for, or
applied to substantially the same end use as any product, process, or service of 3D Systems with which Executive works or worked
during the time of Executive’s employment with 3D Systems or about which Executive acquires or acquired Confidential
Information through Executive’s work with 3D Systems and in any event includes, but is not limited to, providing 3D or additive
manufacturing content-to-print solutions including 3D printers, print materials, on-demand custom parts services and 3D software
solutions.
For purposes of this Agreement,Competing Organization means persons or organizations, including Executive, engaged
in, or about to become engaged in research or development, production, distribution, marketing, providing or selling of a Competing
Product or Service.
Executive agrees that, because 3D Systems’ business is commonly conducted via the Internet and telephone, and because 3D
Systems’ customers are located across the United States and the world, an effort to narrowly limit the geographic scope of the
noncompetition provision would render it ineffective. Accordingly, for purposes of this Agreement,Restricted Territory shall
mean:
i..All markets in the United States and the world in which 3D Systems has conducted business or directed material resources
in soliciting business in the prior twenty-four (24) month period.
ii..In the event the preceding subsection 5.3.1 shall be determined by judicial action to be unenforceable, the “Restricted
Territory” shall be within the United States (including its
9
Exhibit 10.32
territories) and within any other country that at any time was within the scope of Executive’s employment and duties with 3D
Systems.
iii..In the event the preceding subsection 5.3.2 shall be determined by judicial action to be unenforceable, the “Restricted
Territory” shall be within the United States (including its territories) and within any other country that at any time during the last two
(2) years of Executive’s employment with 3D Systems was within the scope of Executive’s employment and duties for 3D Systems.
iv..In the event the preceding subsection 5.3.3 shall be determined by judicial action to be unenforceable, the “Restricted
Territory” shall be within any geographic region(s) that at any time during the last two (2) years of Executive’s employment with 3D
Systems was within the scope of Executive’s employment and duties for 3D Systems.
v..In the event the preceding subsection 5.3.4 shall be determined by judicial action to be unenforceable, the “Restricted
Territory” shall be within any state in the United States that at any time during the last two (2) years of Executive’s employment
with 3D Systems was within the scope of Executive’s employment and duties for 3D Systems.
Executive agrees that in the event a court determines the length of time or the geographic area or the activities prohibited
under this Section 5 are too restrictive to be enforceable, the court may reduce the scope of the restriction or may sever the
unenforceable provision in accordance with Section 8.4 below to the extent necessary to make the restriction enforceable.
d. Reasonableness of Restriction. Executive acknowledges that the foregoing nonsolicitation, non-competition and non-
interference restrictions placed upon Executive are necessary and reasonable to avoid the improper disclosure or use of Confidential
Information, and that it has been made clear to Executive that Executive’s compliance with Section 5 of this Agreement is a material
condition to Executive’s employment by Company. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that, if Executive breaches any of
the requirements of Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, the restricted periods set forth therein shall be tolled during the time of such breach, but
not for longer than the length of the restricted periods set forth therein.
Executive further acknowledges and agrees that 3D Systems has attempted to impose the restrictions contained hereunder
only to the extent necessary to protect 3D Systems from unfair competition and the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential
Information. However, should the scope or enforceability of any restrictive covenant be disputed at any time, Executive specifically
agrees that a court may modify or enforce the covenant to the full extent it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances existing
at the time.
e. Non-Disclosure. Executive further agrees that, other than as needed to fulfill the authorized scope of Executive’s duties
with 3D Systems, Executive will not during the Employment Period or thereafter use for Executive’s benefit or for others or divulge
or convey to any other person (except those persons designated by 3D Systems) any Confidential Information obtained by Executive
during the period of Executive’s employment with 3D Systems. Executive agrees to observe all Company policies and procedures
concerning such Confidential Information. Executive agrees that, except as may be permitted by written Company policies,
10
Exhibit 10.32
Executive will not remove from Company’s premises any of such Confidential Information without the written authorization of
Company. Executive’s obligations under this Agreement will continue with respect to Confidential Information until such
information becomes generally available from public sources through no fault of Executive’s. During the Employment Period and
thereafter Executive shall not disclose to any person the terms and conditions of Executive’s employment by 3D Systems, except: (i)
to close family members, (ii) to legal and accounting professionals who require the information to provide a service to Executive,
(iii) as required by law or (iv) to the extent necessary to inform a prospective or actual subsequent employer of Executive’s duties
and obligations under this Agreement. If Executive is requested, becomes legally compelled by subpoena or otherwise, or is required
by a regulatory body to make any disclosure that is prohibited by this Section 5.5, Executive will, except to the extent prohibited by
law, promptly notify Company so that 3D Systems may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy if 3D Systems deems
such protection or remedy necessary under the circumstances. Subject to the foregoing, Executive may furnish only that portion of
Confidential Information that Executive is legally compelled or required to disclose. The restrictions set forth herein are in addition
to and not in lieu of any obligations Executive may have by law with respect to Confidential Information, including any obligations
Executive may have under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act and/or similar statutes as applicable in the state of Executive’s residence
and/or the state of Executive’s primary work location. Despite the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict
Executive from communicating with any member of the United States Congress, from giving truthful testimony in any legal
proceeding instituted or maintained, or from fully and candidly cooperating in connection with any investigation, inquiry or
proceeding undertaken by, any agency or representative of the United States government, any State, or any of their respective
political subdivisions having authority over any aspect of Company’s business operations, nor shall any such provision be deemed to
require any party to seek the authority of the other in connection therewith.
f. Definition of Confidential Information. As used herein,Confidential Information shall include, but is not limited
to, the following categories of information, knowledge, or data currently known or later developed or acquired relating to 3D
Systems’ business or received by 3D Systems in confidence from or about third parties, in each case when the same is not in the
public domain or otherwise publicly available (other than as result of a wrongful act of an agent or employee of 3D Systems):
i..Any information concerning 3D Systems’ products, business, business relationships, business plans or strategies,
marketing plans, contract provisions, actual or prospective suppliers or vendors, services, actual or anticipated research or
development, new product development, inventions, prototypes, models, solutions, discussion guides, documentation, techniques,
actual or planned patent applications, technological or engineering data, formulae, processes, designs, production plans or methods,
or any related technical or manufacturing know-how or other information;
ii..Any information concerning 3D Systems’ financial or profit data, pricing or cost formulas, margins, marketing
information, sales representative or distributor lists, or any information relating to corporate developments (including possible
acquisitions or divestitures);
11
Exhibit 10.32
iii..Any information concerning 3D Systems’ current or prospective customer lists or arrangements, equipment or methods
used or preferred by 3D Systems’ customers, or the customers or patients of customers;
iv..Any information concerning 3D Systems’ use of computer software, source code, object code, or algorithms or
architecture retained in or related to 3D Systems’ computer or computer systems;
v..Any personal or performance information about any 3D Systems’ employee;
vi..Any information supplied to or acquired by 3D Systems under an obligation to keep such information confidential,
including without limitation Protected Health Information (PHI) as that term is defined by the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA);
vii..Any information, whether or not designated as confidential, obtained or observed by Executive or other 3D Systems
employees during training sessions related to Executive’s work for 3D Systems; and
viii..Any other information treated as trade secrets or otherwise confidential by 3D Systems.
Executive hereby acknowledges that some of this information may not be a “trade secret” under applicable law.
Nevertheless, Executive agrees not to disclose it.
g. Inventions, Discoveries, and Work for Hire. Executive recognizes and agrees that all ideas, works of authorship,
inventions, patents, copyrights, designs, processes (e.g., development processes), methodologies (e.g., development methodologies),
machines, manufactures, compositions of matter, enhancements, and other developments or improvements and any derivative works
based thereon, including, without limitation, potential marketing and sales relationships, research, plans for products or services,
marketing plans, computer software (including source code and object code), computer programs, original works of authorship,
characters, know-how, trade secrets, information, data, developments, discoveries, improvements, modifications, technology and
algorithms, whether or not subject to patent or copyright protection (the Inventions”) that (i) were made, conceived, developed,
authored or created by Executive, alone or with others, during the time of Executive’s employment, whether or not during working
hours, that relate to the business of 3D Systems or to the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of 3D Systems,
(ii) were used by Executive or other personnel of 3D Systems during the time of Executive’s employment, even if such Inventions
were made, conceived, developed, authored or created by Executive prior to the start of Executive’s employment, (iii) are made,
conceived, developed, authored or created by Executive, alone or with others, within one (1) year from the Termination Date and
that relate to the business of 3D Systems or to the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of 3D Systems, or
(iv) result from any work performed by Executive for 3D Systems (collectively with (i)-(iii), theCompany Inventions”) are the
sole and exclusive property of Company.
12
Exhibit 10.32
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company Inventions do not include any Inventions made, conceived, developed, authored or
created by Executive, alone or with others, for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of 3D Systems was
used and which were developed entirely on Executive’s own time, unless (1) the Invention relates (A) to the business of 3D Systems,
or (B) to the actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of 3D Systems, or (2) the Company Invention results from
any work performed by Executive for 3D Systems.
For the avoidance of doubt, Executive expressly disclaims any and all right title and interest in and to all Company
Inventions. Executive acknowledges that Executive has and shall forever have no right, title or interest in or to any patents,
copyrights, trademarks, industrial designs or other rights in connection with any Company Inventions.
Executive hereby assigns to Company all present and future right, title and interest Executive has or may have in and to the
Company Inventions. Executive further agrees that (i) Executive will promptly disclose all Company Inventions to 3D Systems; and
(ii) all of the Company Inventions, to the extent protectable under copyright laws, are “works made for hire” as that term is defined
by the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101, etseq.
At the request of and without charge to Company, Executive will do all things deemed by Company to be reasonably
necessary to perfect title to the Company Inventions in Company and to assist in obtaining for Company such patents, copyrights or
other protection in connection therewith as may be provided under law and desired by Company, including but not limited to
executing and signing any and all relevant applications, assignments, or other instruments. Executive further agrees to provide, at
Company’ request, declarations or affidavits and to give testimony, in depositions, hearings or trials, in support of inventorship.
These obligations continue even after the Termination Date. Company agrees that Executive will be reimbursed for reasonable
expenses incurred in providing such assistance to Company. In the event Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure
Executive’s signature on any document or documents needed to apply for or prosecute any patent, copyright or other right or
protection relating to any Company Invention, for any reason whatsoever, Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints
Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on Executive’s behalf to
execute and file any such application or other document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and
issuance of patents, copyrights, or similar protections thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive.
For purposes of this Agreement, a Company Invention shall be deemed to have been made during Executive’s employment
if, during such period, the Company Invention was conceived, in part or in whole, or first actually reduced to practice or fixed in a
tangible medium during Executive’s employment with Company. Executive further agrees and acknowledges that any patent or
copyright application filed within one (1) year after the Termination Date shall be presumed to relate to a Company Invention made
during the term of Executive’s employment unless Executive can provide evidence to the contrary.
h. Covenants Are Independent Elements. The parties acknowledge that the restrictive covenants contained in this
Section 5 are essential independent elements of this
13
Exhibit 10.32
Agreement and that, but for Executive agreeing to comply with them, Company would not continue to employ Executive and would
not provide the compensation herein. Accordingly, the existence or assertion of any claim by Executive against Company, whether
based on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not operate as a defense to Company’s enforcement of the covenants this Section 5. An
alleged or actual breach of the Agreement by the Company will not be a defense to enforcement of the provisions of Section 5 or
other obligations of Executive to the Company.
i. Prior Employment. Executive hereby agrees that during the course and scope of the employment relationship with
Company, Executive shall neither disclose nor use any confidential information, invention, or work of authorship derived from,
developed or obtained in any prior employment relationship, and understands that any such disclosure or use would be injurious to
the economic and legal interests of Company. Executive represents that Executive has informed Company of any non-competition,
non-solicitation, confidentiality, work-for-hire or similar agreements to which Executive is subject or may be bound, and has
provided Company with copies of any such non-competition and non-solicitation agreements.
j. Return of Data. In the event of the termination of Executive’s employment with Company for any reason whatsoever,
Executive agrees to deliver promptly to Company all formulas, correspondence, reports, computer programs and similar items,
customer lists, marketing and sales data and all other materials pertaining to Confidential Information, and all copies thereof,
obtained by Executive during the period of Executive’s employment with Company which are in Executive’s possession or under his
control. Executive further agrees that Executive will not make or retain any copies of any of the foregoing and will so represent to
Company upon termination of his employment.
k. Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees that during the Employment Period and at all times thereafter, Executive will
not make any statement, nor imply any meaning through Executive’s action or inaction, if such statement or implication would be
adverse to the interests of 3D Systems, its customers or its vendors or may reasonably cause any of the foregoing embarrassment or
humiliation; nor will Executive otherwise cause or contribute to any of the foregoing being held in disrepute by the public or any
other 3D Systems customer(s), vendor(s) or employee(s). Company agrees to instruct its officers, directors and agents speaking
regarding Executive with the prior knowledge and the express approval of an executive officer or director of the Company not to
disparage Executive to future employers of the Executive or others; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.11
will restrict or impede Company from (i) complying with any applicable law, legal process, regulation or stock exchange
requirement, including disclosure obligations under securities laws and regulations, or a valid order of a court of competent
jurisdiction or an authorized government agency or entity; (ii) making any statement required or reasonably desirable in connection
with the enforcement or defense of any claim, legal proceeding or investigation involving Executive or the Company or any of their
respective Affiliates; or (iii) providing information to any future employer or prospective employer of Executive regarding
Executive’s obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement to which Executive is a party. Nothing herein prevents
disclosure, in the sole discretion of the Company and its employees, of this Agreement, or discussion of Executive’s employment
with, and separation of employment from, the Company, by and among
14
Exhibit 10.32
employees and other agents of Company with a business need to know such information. The restrictions of this Section 5.11 shall
apply to, but are not limited to, communication via the Internet, any intranet, or other electronic means, such as social media web
sites, electronic bulletin boards, blogs, email messages, text messages or any other electronic message. The restrictions of this
Section 5.11 shall not be construed to prohibit or limit Executive, Company or any other Person from testifying truthfully in any
proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation.
l. Injunctive Relief and Additional Remedies for Breach. Executive further expressly acknowledges and agrees that any
breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 5 shall entitle 3D Systems, in addition to any other legal remedies
available to it, to obtain injunctive relief, to prevent any violation of this Section 5 without the necessity of 3D Systems posting bond
or furnishing other security and without proving special damages or irreparable injury. Executive recognizes, acknowledges and
agrees that such injunctive relief is necessary to protect 3D Systems’ interest. Executive understands that in addition to any other
remedies available to 3D Systems at law or in equity or under this Agreement for violation of this Agreement, other agreements or
compensatory or benefit arrangements Executive has with 3D Systems may include provisions that specify certain consequences
thereunder that will result from Executive’s violation of this Agreement, which consequences may include repaying 3D Systems or
foregoing certain equity awards or monies, and any such consequences shall not be considered by Executive or any trier of fact as a
forfeiture, penalty, duplicative remedy or exclusive remedy. Notwithstanding Section 8.9, the exclusive venue for any action for
injunctive or declaratory relief with respect to this Section 5 shall be the state or federal courts located in York County, South
Carolina. Company and Executive hereby irrevocably consent to any such courts’ exercise of jurisdiction over them for such
purpose.
m. Notification to Third Parties. Company may, at any time during or after the termination of Executive’s employment
with Company, notify any person, corporation, partnership or other business entity employing or engaging Executive or evidencing
an intention to employ or engage Executive as to the existence and provisions of this Agreement.
n. Cooperation. The parties agree that certain matters in which the Executive will be involved during the Employment
Period may necessitate the Executive’s cooperation in the future. Accordingly, following the termination of the Executive’s
employment for any reason, to the extent reasonably requested by Company, the Executive shall cooperate with the Company in
connection with matters arising out of the Executive’s service to the Company; provided that, the Company shall make reasonable
efforts to minimize disruption of the Executive’s other activities. The Company shall reimburse the Executive for reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation and, to the extent that the Executive is required to spend substantial time on
such matters, the Company shall compensate the Executive at an hourly rate based on the Executive’s Base Salary on the
Termination Date.
6. No Mitigation.
In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the
amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of
15
Exhibit 10.32
this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided herein, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other
employment.
7. Clawback.
All incentive compensation paid to Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with Executive’s
employment with Company shall be subject to forfeiture, recovery by Company or other action pursuant to any clawback or
recoupment policy which Company may adopt from time to time.
8. Miscellaneous.
a. Valid Obligation. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Company and has been duly
executed and delivered by Executive and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Company and of Executive, enforceable in
accordance with its terms.
b. No Conflicts. Executive represents and warrants that the performance by Executive of the duties that are reasonably
expected to be performed hereunder will not result in a material breach of any agreement to which Executive is a party.
c. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina (the
Applicable State Law”), without reference to South Carolina’s choice of law statutes or decisions.
d. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any
one or more of the provisions hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. If any provision of this
Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under the Applicable State Law, the prohibited or invalid provision(s) shall be deemed
severed herefrom and shall be unenforceable to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. In the event any clause of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid, the
parties shall endeavor to modify that clause in a manner which carries out the intent of the parties in executing this Agreement.
e. No Waiver. The waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by any party shall not be deemed or held to be a
continuing waiver of such breach or a waiver of any subsequent breach of any provision of this Agreement or as nullifying the
effectiveness of such provision, unless agreed to in writing by the parties.
f. Notices. All demands, notices, requests, consents and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by facsimile machine (with a confirmation copy sent by one of the other
methods authorized in this Section), or by commercial overnight delivery service, to the parties at the addresses set forth below:
To Company: 3D Systems Corporation
16
Exhibit 10.32
333 Three D Systems Circle
Rock Hill, South Carolina 29730
Attention: Chief Legal Officer
To Executive: At the address and/or fax number most recently contained in Company’s records
Notices shall be deemed given upon the earliest to occur of (i) receipt by the party to whom such notice is directed, if hand
delivered; (ii) if sent by facsimile machine, on the day (other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the jurisdiction to which
such notice is directed) such notice is sent if sent (as evidenced by the facsimile confirmed receipt) prior to 5:00 p.m. Central Time
and, if sent after 5:00 p.m. Central Time, on the day (other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the jurisdiction to which such
notice is directed) after which such notice is sent; or (iii) on the first business day (other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in
the jurisdiction to which such notice is directed) following the day the same is deposited with the commercial carrier if sent by
commercial overnight delivery service. Each party, by notice duly given in accordance therewith may specify a different address for
the giving of any notice hereunder.
g. Assignment of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Executive and Company,
their respective successors and permitted assigns and Executive’s heirs and personal representatives. Executive may not assign any
rights or obligations hereunder to any person or entity without the prior written consent of Company. This Agreement shall be
personal to Executive for all purposes.
h. Entire Agreement; Amendments. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement contains the entire
understanding between the parties, and there are no other agreements or understandings between the parties with respect to
Executive’s employment by Company and Executive’s obligations thereto other than Executive’s indemnification or related rights
under Company’s certificate of incorporation or Bylaws or under any indemnification agreement between Company and Executive
and Executive’s rights under any equity incentive plans or bonus plans of Company. Executive acknowledges that Executive is not
relying upon any representations or warranties concerning Executive’s employment by Company except as expressly set forth
herein. No amendment or modification to the Agreement shall be valid except by a subsequent written instrument executed by the
parties hereto.
i. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. The following procedures shall be used in the resolution of disputes:
i..Dispute. In the event of any dispute or disagreement between the parties under this Agreement (excluding an action for
injunctive or declaratory relief as provided in Section 5.12), the disputing party shall provide written notice to the other party that
such dispute exists. The parties will then make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute or disagreement. If the dispute is not
resolved upon the expiration of fifteen (15) days from the date a party receives such notice of dispute, the entire matter shall then be
submitted to arbitration as set forth in Section 8.9.2.
ii..Arbitration. Should any legal claim (other than those excepted below) arising out of or in any way relating to this
Agreement or Executive's employment or the termination of
17
Exhibit 10.32
Executive's employment not be resolved by negotiation or mediation, it shall be subject to binding and final arbitration in Rock Hill,
South Carolina, which is in York County. The fees of the arbitrator and any other fees for the administration of the arbitration that
would not normally be incurred if the action were brought in a court of law shall be paid by Company. However, Executive shall be
required to pay the amount of those fees equal to that which Executive would have been required to pay to file a lawsuit in court.
Any demand for arbitration shall be in writing and must be communicated to the other party prior to the expiration of the applicable
statute of limitations. Unless otherwise provided herein, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with
the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures published by the American Arbitration Association. If the arbitrator
selected as set forth herein determines that this location constitutes a significant hardship on the Executive and constitutes an
impermissible barrier to Executive’s efforts to enforce Executive’s statutory or contractual rights, such arbitration may be conducted
in some other place determined to be reasonable by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties.
If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after written request for arbitration is made by one party to the
controversy, a neutral arbitrator shall be appointed according to the procedures set forth in the American Arbitration Association
Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures. In rendering the award, the arbitrator shall have the authority to resolve
only the legal dispute between the parties, shall not have the authority to abridge or enlarge substantive rights or remedies available
under existing law, and shall determine the rights and obligations of the parties according to the substantive laws of the Applicable
State Law and any applicable federal law. In addition, the arbitrator's decision and award shall be in writing and signed by the
arbitrator, and accompanied by a concise written explanation of the basis of the award. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be
final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator is authorized to
award any party a sum deemed proper for the time, expense, and trouble of arbitration, including arbitration fees and attorneys’ fees.
iii..Types of Claims. All legal claims brought by Executive or Company related to this Agreement, the employment
relationship, terms and conditions of Executive’s employment, and/or termination from employment are subject to this dispute
resolution procedure. These include, by way of example and without limitation, any legal claims based on alleged discrimination or
retaliation on the basis of race, sex (including sexual harassment), religion, national origin, age, disability or other protected
classification, whether based on state or federal law; payment of wages, bonuses, or commissions; workers’ compensation
retaliation; defamation; invasion of privacy; infliction of emotional distress and/or breach of an express or implied contract. Disputes
and actions excluded from Section 8.9 are: (1) claims for workers’ compensation or unemployment benefits; (2) claims for benefits
under a Company plan or program that provides its own process for dispute resolution; (3) claims for declaratory or injunctive relief
(any such proceedings will be without prejudice to the parties’ rights under Section 8.9 to obtain additional relief in arbitration with
respect to such matters); (4) claims for unfair labor practices filed with the National Labor Relations Board; and (5) actions to
compel arbitration or to enforce or vacate an arbitrator's award under Section 8.9, such action to be governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and the provisions of Section 8.9. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is
precluded from filing complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board or
18
Exhibit 10.32
any similar state or federal agency. Any controversy over whether a dispute is arbitrable or as to the interpretation of Section 8.9
with respect to such arbitration will be determined by the arbitrator.
j. Survival. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Sections 4.5, 5, 7 and 8 of this Agreement shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Employment Period.
k. Headings. Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be used to
construe the meaning of any provision of this Agreement.
l. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered via facsimile or electronic file shall be the same as
original signatures.
m. Taxes. Executive shall be solely responsible for taxes imposed on Executive by reason of any compensation and
benefits provided under this Agreement and all such compensation and benefits shall be subject to applicable withholding.
n. Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that this Agreement will comply with Section 409A of the Code (and any
regulations and guidelines issued thereunder) to the extent the Agreement is subject thereto, and the Agreement shall be interpreted
on a basis consistent with such intent. If an amendment of the Agreement is necessary in order for it to comply with Section 409A,
the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to amend the Agreement in a manner that preserves the original intent of the parties to
the extent reasonably possible. No action or failure by Company in good faith to act, pursuant to this Section 8.14, shall subject
Company to any claim, liability, or expense, and Company shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect Executive
from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.
In addition, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed on the date of
Executive’s separation from service (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A1(h)) to be a specified employee
(within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A1(i)), then with regard to any payment that is required to be delayed pursuant to
Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code (the Delayed Payments”), such payment shall not be made prior to the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the six (6) month period measured from the date of Executive’s “separation from service” and (ii) the date of
Executive’s death. Any payments due under this Agreement other than the Delayed Payments shall be paid in accordance with the
normal payment dates specified herein. In no case will the delay of any of the Delayed Payments by Company constitute a breach of
Company’s obligations under this Agreement. For the provision of payments and benefits under this Agreement upon termination of
employment, reference to Executive’s “termination of employment” (and corollary terms) with Company shall be construed to refer
to Executive’s “separation from service” from Company (as determined under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A1(h), as uniformly applied
by Company) in tandem with Executive’s termination of employment with Company.
19
Exhibit 10.32
In addition, to the extent that any reimbursement or in-kind benefit under this Agreement or under any other reimbursement
or in-kind benefit plan or arrangement in which Executive participates during the term of Executive’s employment under this
Agreement or thereafter provides for a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (i) the amount
eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefit in one calendar year may not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement or in-kind
benefit in any other calendar year (except that a plan providing medical or health benefits may impose a generally applicable limit on
the amount that may be reimbursed or paid), (ii) the right to reimbursement or an in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or
exchange for another benefit, and (iii) subject to any shorter time periods provided herein, any such reimbursement of an expense or
in-kind benefit must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was
incurred.
If the sixty (60)-day period following a “separation from service” begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar
year (aCrossover 60-Day Period”), then any severance payments that would otherwise occur during the portion of the Crossover
60-Day Period that falls within the first year will be delayed and paid in a lump sum during the portion of the Crossover 60-Day
Period that falls within the second year.
o. Limitation on Payments.
i..Parachute Payments. In the event that the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement or other payments and
benefits payable or provided to Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and
(ii) but for this Section 8.15, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s payments
and benefits under this Agreement and other payments or benefits (the “280G Amounts”) will be either:
(1) delivered in full, or
(2) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such payments or benefits being
subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code,
whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of 280G Amounts,
notwithstanding that all or some portion of the 280G Amounts may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code.
ii..Reduction Order. In the event that a reduction of 280G Amounts is being made in accordance with Section 8.15.1, the
reduction will occur, with respect to the 280G Amounts considered parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Code, in the following order:
i.reduction of cash payments in reverse chronological order (that is, the cash payment owed on the latest date
following the occurrence of the event triggering the excise tax will be the first cash payment to be reduced);
20
Exhibit 10.32
ii.cancellation of equity awards that were granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” within the
meaning of Code Section 280G in the reverse order of date of grant of the awards (that is, the most recently granted equity awards
will be cancelled first);
iii.reduction of the accelerated vesting of equity awards in the reverse order of date of grant of the awards (that
is, the vesting of the most recently granted equity awards will be cancelled first); and
iv.reduction of employee benefits in reverse chronological order (that is, the benefit owed on the latest date
following the occurrence of the event triggering the excise tax will be the first benefit to be reduced).
In no event will Executive have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payments.
iii..Accounting or Valuation Firm. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination
required under this Section 8.15 will be made in writing by a nationally recognized accounting or valuation firm (the Firm”)
selected by the Company, whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes.
For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 8.15, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and
approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of
Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the
Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 8.15. The Company will bear all costs and make all
payments for the Firm’s services relating to any calculations contemplated by this Section 8.15.
p. Payment by Subsidiaries. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Company may satisfy its obligations to make
payments to Executive under this Agreement by causing one or more of its subsidiaries to make such payments to Executive.
Executive agrees that any such payment made by any such subsidiary shall fully satisfy and discharge Company’s obligation to
make such payment to Executive hereunder (but only to the extent of such payment).
