What is a Candidate Agreement?

A candidate agreement is between two companies where one company wants to solicit the help of the other to appoint a suitable candidate. Most of the time, the inquiring company is searching for a high-level candidate for the board of directors or an executive such as a CEO. The candidate agreement details the appointment process, approval requirements, and voting agreements. It also contains key details surrounding eligibility requirements, the proposed position term, and other applicable information.

The purpose of the agreement is to ensure the understanding of both parties of the requirements the candidate must meet and how long searching for one will resume.

Common Sections in Candidate Agreements

Below is a list of common sections included in Candidate Agreements. These sections are linked to the below sample agreement for you to explore.

Candidate Agreement Sample

Exhibit 99.1
 
U.S. AUTO PARTS NETWORK, INC.
 
BOARD CANDIDATE AGREEMENT

This Board Candidate Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 20, 2014 by and among U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Timothy Maguire (the “Individual”), Maguire Financial, LP (the “Partnership”) and Maguire Asset Management, LLC (the “LLC”, and together with the Individual and the Partnership, “Maguire”).
 
Recitals
 
Whereas, the Company desires to collaborate with Maguire to attempt to identify a candidate for appointment to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
 
Agreement
 
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
 
1.           Director Candidate Search.
 
1.1           Candidate Search.  For a period of 90 days from the date hereof, the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) will conduct a search and take related actions to attempt to identify and vet suitable candidates for appointment to the Board, with the goal of the candidate search being for the Board to appoint one additional director to the Board prior to the end of such 90-day period who qualifies as “independent” under the Nasdaq corporate governance standards (the “Candidate Search”).  The Nominating Committee shall conduct the Candidate Search based on criteria established by the Nominating Committee, including, without limitation, those criteria set forth in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2013, under the heading “Corporate Governance - Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.”
 
1.2           Approval Process.  Throughout the Candidate Search, whenever the Nominating Committee identifies and vets a candidate whom the Nominating Committee considers a suitable candidate for appointment to the Board (each such candidate identified by the Nominating Committee, a “Nominating Committee Candidate”), the Nominating Committee shall so inform Maguire and Maguire shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to interview such Nominating Committee Candidate and receive information that has been received by the Nominating Committee with respect to such Nominating Committee Candidate and such other information with respect to such Nominating Committee Candidate as Maguire shall reasonably request.  Following Maguire’s review of such Nominating Committee Candidate, Maguire shall provide written notice to the Company’s General Counsel (the “Primary Contact”) as to whether Maguire approves of such Nominating Committee Candidate as a potential member of the Board (any such Nominating Committee Candidate identified by the Nominating Committee and so approved by Maguire, an “Approved Nominating Committee Candidate”).  In addition, as part of the Candidate Search, Maguire may identify to the Primary Contact in writing candidates for appointment to the Board, including providing appropriate background information about such candidates’ experience and abilities to enable the Nominating Committee to screen such candidates and determine if such candidates should be interviewed by the Nominating Committee as possible director candidates (each such candidate identified by Maguire, a “Maguire Candidate”).  The Primary Contact or any member of the Nominating Committee shall inform Maguire with respect to each Maguire Candidate as to the Nominating Committee’s determination on whether it will interview such Maguire Candidate as a possible director candidate, and, for those Maguire Candidates whom the Nominating Committee does interview, following such interview and the conclusion of the Nominating Committee’s vetting process with respect to such Maguire Candidate (which shall be conducted as promptly as practicable), whether the Nominating Committee approves of such Maguire Candidate as a potential member of the Board (any such Maguire Candidate so approved by the Nominating Committee, an “Approved Maguire Candidate”).  The first candidate who is either an Approved Nominating Committee Candidate or an Approved Maguire Candidate (the first such candidate, the “Agreed-Upon Candidate”) shall, subject to such candidate’s consent, be appointed to the Board in accordance with Section 1.3, at which time the Candidate Search, and all of the parties’ rights and obligations related thereto, shall terminate, except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4.  In the event that neither an Approved Nominating Committee Candidate nor an Approved Maguire Candidate is identified and appointed to the Board within the 90-day period after the date hereof, then (a) the parties hereto shall continue to attempt to identify and appoint to the Board an Approved Nominating Committee Candidate or an Approved Maguire Candidate following the expiration of such 90-day period in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and (b) the Individual shall be deemed to be the Agreed-Upon Candidate for purposes of this Agreement and shall, subject to such candidate’s consent, be appointed to the Board in accordance with Section 1.3, until the first candidate who is either an Approved Nominating Committee Candidate or an Approved Maguire Candidate is identified and appointed to the Board in accordance with Section 1.3 (in which case, immediately prior to such appointment, the Individual shall resign from the Board).  For purposes of identifying an Agreed-Upon Candidate, including pursuant to Section 1.4, once Maguire provides the Company with a Maguire Candidate or the Nominating Committee provides Maguire with a Nominating Committee Candidate, each of Maguire and the Company hereby agrees that throughout the period during which this Section 1 remains in effect such individual shall continue to be, and at all times shall remain, a Maguire Candidate or a Nominating Committee Candidate, as the case may be.
 
 
1

 
 
1.3           Director Appointment and Related Actions.  If an Agreed-Upon Candidate has been identified and consented to his or her appointment to the Board, the Nominating Committee shall recommend such candidate to the Board for appointment as a director, the Board shall appoint such candidate to serve as a member of the Board as a Class I director who shall serve until the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2016 Meeting”) and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, and the Board shall also adopt a resolution increasing the size of the Board by one director, to a total of nine directors and take any other actions which may be necessary to effect the Agreed-Upon Candidate’s appointment to the Board.  The Company agrees that, from the date of this Agreement through the date that is six (6) months after the date on which the Agreed-Upon Candidate is appointed to the Board (but in no event later than the date that is nine (9) months after the date of this Agreement), it will not increase the size of the Board above nine (9) directors.
 
1.4           Replacement Director.    If an Agreed-Upon Candidate is appointed to the Board and, prior to the expiration of the Voting Period, resigns (other than in accordance with the penultimate sentence of Section 1.2), is removed from the Board or is unable to serve for any reason (any such event, a “Replacement Event”), the foregoing provisions of this Section 1 shall apply to determine a replacement for such Agreed-Upon Candidate (with the 90-day period measured from the date on which the Replacement Event occurs), and any such replacement determined pursuant to such provisions shall be deemed to be an Agreed-Upon Candidate for purposes of this Agreement.
 
 
2

 
 
1.5           Automatic Termination.  Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any point in time Maguire does not beneficially own more than 4% of the Company’s outstanding shares of voting capital stock (as such ownership is calculated pursuant to the rules of The NASDAQ Global Market), this Section 1 shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect (such event, a “Termination Event”).  In order for the Company to determine the occurrence of a Termination Event, Maguire shall provide written notice to the Primary Contact within two business days following any transaction by Maguire which has the effect of decreasing the number of shares of the Company’s voting capital stock that Maguire beneficially owns (as such ownership is calculated pursuant to the rules of The NASDAQ Global Market).  If a Termination Event occurs within the 90-day period after the date of this Agreement without an Agreed-Upon Candidate having been appointed to the Board, the Nominating Committee will continue to conduct the Candidate Search, in consultation with Maguire, with the goal of having the Board appoint one additional director to the Board prior to the end of such 90-day period who qualifies as “independent” under the Nasdaq corporate governance standards and who is reasonably acceptable to Maguire (but without the Company having to in fact obtain Maguire’s approval prior to the appointment to the Board of such additional director).
 
2.           Voting Agreement.  
 
2.1           Maguire Shares.  During the Voting Period, Maguire agrees to vote all shares of voting capital stock of the Company registered in Maguire’s name or beneficially owned by Maguire (as determined by Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), including any and all voting securities of the Company legally or beneficially acquired by Maguire after the date hereof (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Maguire Shares”), in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Voting Period” shall mean the period of time beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the earliest to occur of (i) the date that is 30 calendar days prior to the deadline established pursuant to the Company’s bylaws for the submission of stockholder nominations for the 2016 Meeting; (ii) the date on which a Termination Event occurs if an Agreed-Upon Candidate has not then been appointed to the Board; and (iii) if a Termination Event occurs and an Agreed-Upon Candidate has been appointed to the Board, the date on which such Agreed-Upon Candidate ceases to serve as a director for any reason; provided, however, that if the Agreed-Upon Candidate is nominated by the Board for re-election as a director of the Company at the 2016 Meeting and is included as a nominee in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2016 Meeting, the Voting Period shall thereafter be extended and will expire on the day immediately following the 2016 Meeting.
 
 
3

 
 
2.2           Voting Agreement.  During the Voting Period, at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company called, or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval (including by written consent) is sought from Maguire with respect to the election of directors, Maguire shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Maguire Shares on each director nomination presented for a vote, consent or other approval in accordance with the formal recommendation of a majority of the Board (acting as such).
 
2.3           Unauthorized Proposal.  During the Voting Period, Maguire shall not, directly or indirectly (including through agents or attorneys or affiliated entities), provide assistance, information, encouragement or advice (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information) to any third party in connection with any vote, consent, approval or action to be taken by the Company’s stockholders that has not been formally recommended by a majority of the Board (acting as such), or take any other action to facilitate a vote, consent or other approval of the Company’s stockholders on any matter (or director nomination) not formally recommended by a majority of the Board (acting as such) (an “Unauthorized Proposal”), including, without limitation, the solicitation of proxies for a matter (or director nomination) to be voted upon by the Company’s stockholders and not formally recommended by a majority of the Board (acting as such).  During the Voting Period, Maguire shall not, directly or indirectly (including through agents or attorneys or affiliated entities) have any communications with any third parties with respect to (or that could reasonably be expected to lead to) an Unauthorized Proposal.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, Maguire shall not be prohibited from (a) voting the Maguire Shares in a manner that does not result in a violation of Section 2.2, or (b) (i) making any non-public statement to any officer or director of the Company or (ii) taking any action or making any other statement to the extent required by any applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process; provided, that Maguire provides the Company with reasonable advance notice, to the extent legally permissible, of the requirement to take such action or make such statement and, at the Company’s reasonable request and expense, uses commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company with taking whatever measures may be at Maguire’s or the Company’s disposal to prevent the taking of such action or making of such statement or to secure confidential treatment with respect to such statement.
 
2.4           Proxy.  During the Voting Period, Maguire agrees, within five business days after receipt, to execute and deliver to the Company, or cause to be executed and delivered to the Company, all proxy cards and written consents received by Maguire from the Company with respect to the election of directors, in each case directing that the Maguire Shares held by Maguire as of the applicable record date be voted in accordance with Section 2.2.
 
3.           Representations and Warranties.  
 
3.1           Maguire Enforceability.  The Individual, the Partnership and the LLC each represents and warrants to the Company that it has all requisite power to execute and deliver this Agreement and that that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by them will not and does not conflict with any agreement, arrangement or understanding, written or oral, to which the Individual, the Partnership or the LLC is a party or by which such party is bound.  Upon its execution and delivery, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of the Individual, the Partnership and the LLC, enforceable against the Individual, the Partnership and the LLC in accordance with its terms.  The Individual, the Partnership and the LLC each certifies and agrees that it has not and will not enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding, either written or oral, in conflict with this Agreement without notifying the Company in advance and receiving the Company’s express written permission.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

View Trustpilot Review

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
