• Participant Obligations In partial consideration for the award of these PSUs, if at any time during the period between the Grant Date and the 12-month period following the Participant’s termination of Employment (the “Obligation Period”), the Participant: (i) directly or indirectly, hires or solicits or arranges for the hiring or solicitation of any employee of the Company or its Affiliates, or encourages any employee to leave the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) directly or indirectly, assist in soliciting in competition with the Company the business of any current customer, distributor or dealer or other sales or distribution channel partners of the Company; (iii) uses, discloses, misappropriates or transfers confidential or proprietary information concerning the Company or its Affiliates (except as required by the Participant’s work responsibilities with the Company or its Affiliates); or (iv) engages in any activity in violation of Company policies, including the Company’s Code of Conduct, or engages in conduct materially adverse to the best interests of the Company or its Affiliates; the PSUs, whether previously vested or not, may be cancelled in full, and the Participant may be required to return to the Company any shares received on settlement of vested PSUs or the net after-tax income from any disposition of any shares received upon settlement of vested PSUs, unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, elects not to cancel the PSUs and/or elects not to recover any income from settled and vested PSUs or unless applicable law prohibits such action. The obligations in this subsection are in addition to any other agreements related to non-solicitation and preservation of Company confidential and proprietary information entered into between the Participant and the Company, or otherwise applicable to the Participant, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive, modify, alter or amend the terms of any such other agreement. THE PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS SUBSECTION IS NOT INTENDED TO AND DOES NOT PROHIBIT THE CONDUCT DESCRIBED, BUT PROVIDES FOR THE CANCELLATION OF THE AWARD IN FULL AND A RETURN TO THE COMPANY OF ANY SHARES RECEIVED ON SETTLEMENT OF VESTED PSUS OR THE NET AFTER-TAX INCOME FROM THE DISPOSITION OF ANY SHARES RECEIVED UPON SETTLEMENT OF VESTED PSUS IF THE PARTICIPANT SHOULD CHOOSE TO VIOLATE THIS PARAGRAPH DURING THE OBLIGATION PERIOD. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Participant from voluntarily communicating, without notice to or approval by the Company, with any federal government agency about a potential violation of a federal law or regulation.
