Relocation Repayment Agreement: Definition, Terms, Example

What is a Relocation Repayment Agreement?
A relocation repayment agreement is a legal document that provides repayment of any relocation assistance benefits received by the employee. It also details what happens in the event of termination or resignation before the end of the contract period.
For example, suppose an employee resigns after one year and does not exercise their right to purchase shares under a share incentive plan (SIP). In that case, they must repay all SIP benefits to the company and reimburse them for any costs incurred by providing financial advice and tax advice relating to those plans.

Relocation Repayment Agreement Sample
Exhibit 10.56
|
RELOCATION EXPENSES AGREEMENT |
This Relocation Expenses Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD”) and Rick Bergman (“Employee”) (collectively, the “Parties”).
| 1. | Relocation Expenses. AMD agrees to provide Employee, and/or designated third parties on behalf of Employee, certain expenses associated with Employee’s relocation in connection with Employee’s AMD employment (“Relocation Expenses”). Relocation Expenses shall include only those expenses authorized and described in the enclosed Relocation Guidelines, and/or other expenses related to Employee’s relocation that are pre-approved in writing by an AMD Vice-President. Employee’s estimated relocation expenses are $263,184.00. Actual Relocation Expenses may be greater or less, and the terms of this Agreement apply only to the amount actually incurred by or paid to Employee. |
| 2. | Repayment of Relocation Expenses. Employee agrees to repay to AMD all or a prorated amount of the Relocation Expenses, according to the following terms: |
| (a) | Repayment Due to Termination of Employment. If Employee’s employment with AMD terminates less than 13 full months after the effective date of Employee’s hire or transfer, Employee agrees to repay one hundred percent (100%) of the Relocation Expenses paid by AMD. If Employee’s employment with AMD terminates at least 13 full months after the effective date of Employee’s hire or transfer, but less than 24 full months after the effective date of Employee’s hire or transfer, Employee agrees to repay the full amount of the Relocation Expenses paid by AMD, less eight point thirty-three percent (8.33%) for each full month of employment completed after the twelfth month of employment. Employee agrees that repayment obligations under this Agreement are not reduced by completion of partial months of employment. Employee further agrees that Employee will repay Relocation Expenses by no later than the effective date of the employment termination, and that any outstanding balance on such repayment obligation is delinquent and immediately collectable the day following the effective date of termination. |
| (b) | Repayment Forgiveness. AMD agrees to forgive any repayment due AMD under this Agreement where AMD terminates Employee’s employment due to a company- or department-wide reduction-in-force. AMD may also, in its sole discretion, forgive any repayment due AMD under this Agreement under circumstances of an extraordinary or unavoidable nature. The Parties agree that Employee’s voluntary termination of his/her employment, or AMD’s termination of Employee’s employment for any reason other than those stated in this section 2(b), are not conditions requiring forgiveness of any repayment due AMD under this Agreement. |
| 3. | No Guarantee of Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement guarantees employment for any period of time. |
| 4. | Consent to Offset. Employee agrees that any repayment due AMD under this Agreement may be deducted to the extent permitted by law from any amounts due Employee from AMD at the time of employment termination, including wages, accrued vacation pay, incentive compensation payments, bonuses and commissions, and hereby expressly authorizes such deduction(s). |
| 5. | Acknowledgements and Integration. Employee understands he/she has the right to discuss this Agreement with any individual, and that to the extent desired, he/she has availed himself/herself of this opportunity. Employee further acknowledges that he/she has carefully read and fully understands the provisions of this Agreement, and that he/she is voluntarily entering into it without any duress or pressure from AMD. Employee also understands and acknowledges that this Agreement is the entire agreement between him/her and AMD with respect to this subject matter, and Employee acknowledges that AMD has not made any other statements, promises or commitments of any kind (written or oral) to cause Employee to agree to the terms of this Agreement. |
| 6. | Severability. The Parties agree that should any provision of this Agreement be declared or determined by any court to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement shall nonetheless remain binding and enforceable and the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) shall be modified only so much as necessary to comply with applicable law. |

Michelle T.
I am an experienced, well-rounded attorney with a background specializing in trusts and estates, contracts and business law. I have extensive experience working with simple contracts all the way up to multi-million dollar deals.
"Michelle drafted an excellent and unique Post Nuptial agreement which outlines a very specific "process" that will be used to divide assets in the event of divorce. Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing. Michelle rose to the challenge at a very reasonable price. Other, "meter man" attorneys would have charged at least 5x more. I highly recommend Michelle!"

I graduated from Yale University magna cum laude, served as a Fulbright Scholar in Italy and attended UC Berkeley School of Law. In 2023, I was named a "Legal Visionary" by the Los Angeles Times.

I started my legal career in Silicon Valley and Hong Kong working on large equity and debt financings and matters for private wealth clients. After returning home to Los Angeles, I advised startup companies with formations, acquisitions and day-to-day matters such as sales contracts and licensing. More recently, I have focused on data, IT and SaaS contracts for both providers and customers. My clients include NASDAQ-listed companies, a top ranked children’s hospital and local startups.
"Daniel assisted me with a project that had a relatively quick turnaround and provided thoughtful and thorough feedback. Highly recommend!"

Unique Hybrid Background ➲ Deep Legal, Tech & Commercial Experience More by pure chance than design, I arrived late in life to pursue a career in law. My background spans more than 3 decades across Information Technology, entrepreneurship & the legal profession supporting my claim to being a 'Deep Generalist'. What is a 'Deep Generalist'? 'The professionals who develop into really great client advisors are deep generalists.' Quote from Warren Bennis. From 2013 I worked for established boutique property, finance & commercial law firms + an award-winning #newlaw firm of senior lawyers (formerly Nexus Law Group, now merged with Arch.law) before founding my digital law firm Blue Ocean Law Group in 2017. I also worked part-time for 2 years as a freelance online expert across all aspects of Australian Law with JustAnswer (H.Q. in San Francisco) and volunteered at the Caxton Legal Centre to give back to the community. Now I offer pro bono (free) legal assistance at my discretion. My achievements in the law are best reflected in the high number of settlements where civil litigation has been avoided, court judgements (incl. successful appeals) in my clients' favour & [90+] testimonials which can be seen on the blueocean.law [700+] page website which offers tons [585+] of both free & paid innovative legal products & resources. My personal experience as a client on the other side of legal matters affords me a unique perspective and goes some way to explaining my passion for the reinvention of the delivery of legal services. I am an early adopter of technology + gadgets, an avid reader and an animal lover. In January 2023, I joined the IAPP – International Association of Privacy Professionals and became a Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States by gaining the highly valued gold-standard ANSI-Accredited CIPP/US credential. I followed this up in August 2023, by obtaining the Certified in CyberSecurity qualification form ISC(2). Pre-Law Background From 1992 to 2002, I worked for Accenture as an IT Project Manager across APAC (including long-term project assignments in New Zealand & Singapore). I started a small business side hustle in 1997 and in 2003 I left Accenture to become a full-time entrepreneur in the transport industry. I later expanded into the mezzanine property development finance market as well as venturing into small-scale property development.Unique Hybrid Background

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.
