Re: Key Employee Confidentiality Agreement

Dear «First_Name»:

As a key employee of the Xxxxxxxxx organization, you have and will have access to certain “Confidential Information” and “Trade Secrets,” which are defined below. Such Confidential Information and Trade Secrets have been developed and maintained through the investment of considerable time, effort and expense by Xxxxxxxxx and represent significant corporate assets of Xxxxxxxxx. Such Confidential Information must be subject to reasonable safeguards and protections such as protections against its unauthorized or improper use or disclosure. This letter represents an important aspect of protection of Confidential Information as set forth in this Confidentiality Agreement (“Agreement”).

It is the intent of the parties that this letter, in its entirety (including its introductory and closing paragraphs), upon being signed by you, constitute a legally binding contract. Simply to assist the reader, certain of the paragraphs are numbered and titled. For ease of reference, “Xxxxxxxxx” or the pronouns “we” or “us” as used throughout this Agreement refer to Xxxxxxxxx National, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, while you, as addressee of this letter, are referred to with the pronouns “you” or “your”, as appropriate.

In consideration of Xxxxxxxxx granting to you participation or continued participation in the Xxxxxxxxx National Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), in consideration of the compensation and benefits incident to your employment with Xxxxxxxxx, and in consideration of your continued employment by Xxxxxxxxx, you agree as follows:

1. Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and Privacy Restricted Information.

a. During Employment. While employed by Xxxxxxxxx, you will (i) hold in trust and confidence all Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and Privacy Restricted Information (collectively, “Protected Information”) that come into your possession; (ii) not disclose, directly or indirectly, or replicate any Protected Information to any person outside of Xxxxxxxxx, except to third parties in the ordinary course of your duties who have a legal obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such information (such as Xxxxxxxxx’x auditors and attorneys) or as otherwise directed to do so in writing by an Officer of Xxxxxxxxx or its General Counsel; (iii) not disclose, directly or indirectly, any Protected Information to any

Xxxxxxxxx associate, except upon a “need to know” basis to an associate who has also agreed to this or a similar confidentiality agreement; and (iv) access and use Protected Information only in furtherance of your job responsibilities and for Xxxxxxxxx’x benefit and not for your own personal use or advantage. During your employment, you agree to use utmost care to ensure that all Protected Information is maintained in a confidential manner by using appropriate security at all times, including using screen protection on monitors, non-sharing of user names and passwords, securing of hard copies of all Protected Information, and all other measures necessary to maintain the confidentiality of all Protected Information. You agree that it is your responsibility to maintain your workspace in such a way as to minimize the risk of observation of Protected Information through you by unauthorized persons. During your employment with Xxxxxxxxx, you agree to refrain from unauthorized duplication, documentation, or reproduction of Protected Information through any means. When your employment with Xxxxxxxxx ends, regardless of the reason, you will promptly return all Protected Information in your possession or under your control to Xxxxxxxxx, including any copies, documentation, or reproductions thereof and agree to certify the same to Xxxxxxxxx if requested.

b. Trade Secrets Post-Employment. After your employment with Xxxxxxxxx, you agree to not directly or indirectly use or disclose any of Xxxxxxxxx’x Trade Secrets. Nothing in this agreement shall limit or supersede any common law, statutory or other protections of trade secrets where such protections provide Xxxxxxxxx with greater rights or protections for a longer duration than provided in this agreement.

c. Confidential Information Post-Employment. For a period of eighteen (18) months after your employment with Xxxxxxxxx, you will not directly or indirectly use or disclose any of Xxxxxxxxx’x Confidential Information.

d. Privacy Restricted Information Post-Employment. After your employment with Xxxxxxxxx ends, for any reason, you agree to not directly or indirectly use or disclose any Privacy Restricted Information for so long as such information remains protected by law.

e. Developments. While employed by Xxxxxxxxx, you will promptly disclose all Developments to your Xxxxxxxxx Human Resource Business Partner (HRBP) and, to the extent not owned by Xxxxxxxxx, you hereby assign all right, title and interest in and to all such Developments to Xxxxxxxxx. At any time during or after your employment with Xxxxxxxxx, you will promptly execute all documents and do all acts and things that Xxxxxxxxx may reasonably require to perfect, defend and enforce its patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual or proprietary rights to such Developments throughout the world, and you hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Xxxxxxxxx and its duly authorized officers and agents as your agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and on your behalf to do any of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by you.

2. Confidential Information of Others. You certify that you have not disclosed or used, and will not disclose or use, during your employment with Xxxxxxxxx, any confidential information that you acquired as a result of any previous employment or under a contractual obligation of confidentiality or secrecy before you became an Associate of Xxxxxxxxx.

3. No Guarantee of Employment. You acknowledge that, as a Xxxxxxxxx Associate, you are an “at will” employee, meaning either you or Xxxxxxxxx can terminate your employment at any time with or without cause. No communications, oral or written, by Xxxxxxxxx or any of its agents can change the fact that this agreement is not an employment contract and does not change your at-will status. This agreement applies during and after your employment, and this agreement is enforceable regardless of whether your separation is voluntary.

4. Equitable Remedies and Forfeiture. You acknowledge that if you breach this agreement, Xxxxxxxxx’x damages will or may be difficult to ascertain, money damages may not be adequate, and Xxxxxxxxx may incur irreparable harm and continuing damage. Accordingly, Xxxxxxxxx will be entitled to any and all equitable remedies for breach of this agreement, including, without limitation, injunctive relief, as well as any money damages or other legal relief to which Xxxxxxxxx may be entitled. If you breach any provisions of this Agreement or your Key Employee Non-Compete and No-Solicitation Agreement, with Xxxxxxxxx, all deferrals of LTIP amounts with respect to you, as well as appreciation, earnings and gains related thereto, credited under the plan to you shall be forfeited. You agree that, to the extent this Agreement is inconsistent with any other Non Disclosure and Development Agreement you have signed, this Agreement supersedes any such other agreement and is controlling.
