Confidential Information and Non-Solicitation (a) The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, which shall have been obtained by the Executive in connection with the Executive’s employment by the Company and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data, to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it; provided, however, that if the Executive receives actual notice that the Executive is or may be required by law or legal process to communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data, the Executive shall promptly so notify the Company.
(b) While employed by the Company and, for a period of one (1) year after the Date of Termination, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly solicit, induce, or encourage any employee or consultant of any member of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates to terminate their employment or other relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates or to cease to render services to any member of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates and the Executive shall not initiate discussion with any such person for any such purpose or authorize or knowingly cooperate with the taking of any such actions by any other individual or entity. During his employment with the Company and thereafter, the Executive shall not use any trade secret of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates to solicit, induce, or encourage any customer, client, vendor, or other party doing business with any member of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates to terminate its relationship therewith or transfer its business from any member of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates and the Executive shall not initiate discussion with any such person for any such purpose or authorize or knowingly cooperate with the taking of any such actions by any other individual or entity.
(c) In recognition of the facts that irreparable injury will result to the Company in the event of a breach by the Executive of his obligations under Sections 7(a) and (b) hereof, that monetary damages for such breach would not be readily calculable, and that the Company would not have an adequate remedy at law therefor, the Executive acknowledges, consents and agrees that in the event of such breach, or the threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other legal remedies and damages available, to specific performance thereof and to temporary and permanent injunctive relief (without the necessity of posting a bond) to restrain the violation or threatened violation of such obligations by the Executive.
No Solicitation of Customers During the Executive’s employment with the Employer and for a period of 12 months thereafter, the Executive shall not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Employer), either directly or indirectly, on the Executive’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, (A) solicit, divert, or appropriate to or for a Competing Business, or (B) attempt to solicit, divert, or appropriate to or for a Competing Business, any person or entity that is or was a customer of the Employer or any of its Affiliates at any time during the 12 months prior to the date of termination and with whom the Executive has had material contact.

Non-Solicitation The Participant covenants and agrees that during his or her employment with the Company or its Affiliates and for a period of twelve (12) months subsequent to the Participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason, whether involuntary or voluntary, the Participant shall not directly or indirectly, as an owner, stockholder, director, employee, partner, agent, broker, or consultant recruit, hire or attempt to recruit or hire other employees of the Company or its Affiliates, nor shall the Participant contact or communicate with any other employees of the Company or its Affiliates for the purpose of inducing other employees to terminate their employment with the Company or its Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 5, “other employees” shall refer to employees who are still actively employed by or doing business with the Company or its Affiliates at the time of the attempted recruiting or hiring. In addition, Participant agrees not to hire or employ, either directly or indirectly, or aid in the hire or employ of any former employee of the Company or its Affiliates within 60 days of that former employee's separation date from the Company or its Affiliates. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the damage to Company and its Affiliates if Participant breaches this Section 5 or the non-solicitation provisions contained in any written agreement by and between the Participant and the Company will be extremely difficult to determine. Therefore, Participant agrees that if Participant violates this Section 5 or the non-solicitation provisions contained in any written agreement by and between the Participant and the Company, Participant will pay to the Company the value of the RSUs received and all costs incurred by Company, including its reasonable attorneys' fees, in any claim against Participant or to defend against any claim made by Participant related to the subject-matter herein. To the extent applicable, all Awarded Units shall immediately cease to vest as of the date of such breach, and any Vested RSUs that had not been converted into Shares prior to the date of such breach and any Unvested RSUs shall be immediately forfeited and this Agreement (other than the provisions of this Section 5) will be terminated on the date of such breach.
Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation (a) Optionee hereby acknowledges that Optionee has or in the future may have access to the Company's trade secrets and proprietary or confidential information developed or acquired by or licensed to the Company, including, but not limited to, information regarding the Company's operations, business plans, customers or prospects, products, computer passwords or other information regarding network or systems access and research and development information, as such trade secrets and proprietary or confidential information may exist from time to time ("Confidential Information"). As consideration for the Option granted to Optionee hereunder, Optionee will not, at any time during Optionee's relationship with the Company, in whole or in part, disclose or cause any other person to disclose the Confidential Information to any other person or entity (except the Company) under any circumstances. In addition, Optionee will not, during the term of Optionee's relationship with the Company, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, solicit or assist any other person or entity in soliciting any employee of the Company to terminate the employee's employment with the Company under any circumstances.
(b) Optionee acknowledges that if there is a breach of any provision of this paragraph 9 by Optionee, the Company will suffer irreparable harm in that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate the Company for such a breach. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of any such provisions by Optionee, in addition to such monetary and other relief as may be available, Optionee agrees that the Company will be entitled to injunctive relief as may be necessary to restrain any breach or further breach of such provisions by Optionee, without showing or providing any actual damages or loss sustained by the Company or notice to Optionee.
Non-Solicitation of Business The Participant agrees and acknowledges that by virtue of the Participant’s employment with, or service to, the Employer, the Participant has developed or will develop relationships with and/or had or will have access to Confidential Information about Customers and agents, brokers and similar key business partners (“Key Business Partners”) and is, therefore, capable of significantly and adversely impacting existing relationships that the Company or an Affiliate has with them. The Participant further agrees and acknowledges that the Company and/or its Affiliates have invested in its and the Participant’s relationship with Customers and Key Business Partners and the goodwill that has been developed with them; therefore, the Company and/or its Affiliates have a legitimate business interest in protecting these relationships against solicitation and/or interference by the Participant for a reasonable period of time after the Participant’s employment with, or provision of services to, the Employer ends. Accordingly, during the Participant’s employment with the Employer and during the Restricted Period, the Participant shall not use or rely in any manner on any Confidential Information to directly or indirectly initiate, contact or engage in any contact or communication, of any kind whatsoever, that has the purpose or effect of: (A) inviting, assisting, encouraging or requesting any Customer or Key Business Partner to (1) transfer the Participant’s business from the Company or an Affiliate to the Participant, the Participant’s subsequent employer or any other third party, or (2) otherwise diminish, divert, discontinue or terminate Customer’s patronage and/or business relationship with the Company or an Affiliate; or (B) inviting, assisting, encouraging or requesting any Customer to purchase any products or services from the Participant, the Participant’s subsequent employer or any other third party that are or may be competitive with the products or services of the Company or an Affiliate, or use any products or services of the Participant, the Participant’s subsequent employer or of any other third party that are or may be competitive with the products or services of the Company or an Affiliate.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder acknowledges and hereby agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6 by the Stockholder or any representatives of the Stockholder shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6 by the Stockholder. The Stockholder shall not enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any agreement contemplating or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal unless and until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms.
