(v) Except for this Agreement, any employment agreement or other similar agreement with one or more members of the RSG Group and other agreements specifically disclosed in writing to the Company on or prior to the date hereof, the Participant is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, consulting agreement, noncompete agreement, non-solicitation agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other Person. The Participant is not a party to or bound by any agreement that would in any way prohibit, impede or adversely affect the Participant’s employment by any member of the RSG Group, the performance of the Participant’s obligations hereunder or under the LLC Agreement or any of the rights and obligations set forth herein or therein.

(h) The Company and the Participant hereby acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been executed and delivered, and the Class C Units have been issued hereunder, in connection with and as a part of the compensation and incentive arrangements between one or more members of the RSG Group, on the one hand, and the Participant, on the other hand.
