The undersigned investment adviser (the “Adviser”) hereby acknowledges and agrees to the terms of the Agreement. The Adviser also agrees, as does Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”), to the following non- solicitation provision, for purposes of which the Adviser and UFS shall each be referred to as the “Company” and collectively as the “Companies”:
(1) the Companies expend substantial time and money, on an ongoing basis, to recruit and train their respective employees; (2) both Companies operate in a highly competitive marketplace and market their services throughout the United States, and (3) if either Company were to hire any employee of the other Company, the Company whose employee was so hired may suffer lost sales and other opportunities and would incur substantial expense in hiring and training replacement(s) for that employee. Accordingly, each Company agrees that it, including its respective affiliates and subsidiaries, shall not solicit, attempt to induce or otherwise hire an employee of the other Company for so long as this Agreement is in effect and for a period of two (2) years after termination of this Agreement, unless expressly agreed upon in writing by both Companies. In the event that this provision is breached by either Company, the breaching Company hereby agrees to pay damages to the non-breaching Company in the amount of two times the current annual salary of such employee or former employee. For purposes of this provision, “hire” means to employ as an employee or to engage as an independent contractor, whether on a full-time, part-time or temporary basis.
