Participant also agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of third party Confidential Information to the same extent, and on the same basis, as the Company’s Confidential Information.
(d) Non-Competition Obligations. Participant acknowledges that the Company is providing Participant with access to Confidential Information. Participant’s non-competition obligations are ancillary to the Participant’s Employment, this agreement and agreement to disclose Confidential Information to Participant. In order to protect the Confidential Information described above, and in consideration for Participant’s receiving access to this Confidential Information, right to benefits upon certain terminations of Employment as provided in Section 3, and receiving other benefits provided in this Agreement and elsewhere, the Company and Participant agree to the following non-competition provisions:
(i) During Participant’s employment and during the twelve (12) month period (the “Restricted Period”) following Participant’s date of termination of Employment for any reason (or such longer period as Participant is eligible to receive severance payments pursuant to any other written agreement with the Company or its Affiliates), Participant will not, in any geographic area where the Company or its subsidiaries engage or plan to engage in business directly or indirectly, either on Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person, association or entity:
(A) engage in any business competing with any businesses in which the Company or its subsidiaries currently engage in business, has plans to engage in business, or has engaged in business in the 12-month period preceding the date of termination (a “Competing Business”);
(B) perform any job, task, function, skill, or responsibility for a Competing Business that Participant has provided for the Company in the 12-month period preceding the date of termination; or
(C) render advice or services to, or otherwise assist, any other person, association or entity in the business of “A” or “B” above.
(ii) Participant understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit Participant’s ability to engage in certain businesses and during the period provided for above, but acknowledges that these restrictions are necessary to protect the Confidential Information the Company has provided to Participant.
075759-0006-13471-14021693

(iii) Participant agrees that this provision defining the scope of activities constituting competition with the Company is narrow and reasonable for the following reasons: (i) Participant is free to seek employment with other companies providing services that do not directly or indirectly compete with any business of the Company or its subsidiaries; (ii) Participant is free to seek employment with other companies that do not directly or indirectly compete with any business of the Company or its subsidiaries; and (iii) there are many other companies that do not directly or indirectly compete with any business of the Company or its subsidiaries. Thus, this restriction on Participant’s ability to compete does not prevent Participant from using and offering the skills that Participant possessed prior to receiving Confidential Information, specialized training, and knowledge from the Company.
(e) Non-Solicitation of Customers. During Participant’s Employment and during the Restricted Period following the termination of such Employment for any reason, Participant will not call on, service, or solicit competing business from customers of the Company or its subsidiaries whom the Participant, within the twenty-four (24) months prior to termination of employment, (i) had or made contact with, or (ii) had access to information and files about. These restrictions are limited by geography to the specific places, addresses, or locations where a customer is present and available for soliciting or servicing.
(f) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During Participant’s employment and during the Restricted Period following the termination of such Employment for any reason, Participant will not, either directly or indirectly, call on, solicit, or induce any other employee or officer of the Company or its affiliates whom Participant had contact with, knowledge of, or association with in the course of employment with the Company to terminate his or her employment, and will not assist any other person or entity in such a solicitation.

7. Repayment of Proceeds. If the Participant’s Employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or the Participant violates any provision of Section 6 of this Agreement, or any similar provision contained in any other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates, or the Company discovers after a termination of Employment that grounds for a termination with Cause existed at the time thereof, then Participant shall be required to pay to the Company, within 10 business days’ of the Company’s request to the Participant therefor so long as such request is provided to the Participant within the 18 months immediately following the Participant’s termination of Employment (or in the case of a Restrictive Covenant Violation, 18 months from the date of the Company’s actual knowledge of such Restrictive Covenant Violation), an amount equal to the aggregate after-tax proceeds (taking into account all amounts of tax that would be recoverable upon a claim of loss for payment of such proceeds in the year of repayment) Participant received upon the sale or other disposition of, or distributions in respect of, Shares acquired as a result of settlement of any RSUs granted hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to grounds existing for a termination with Cause shall be determined without regard to any notice period, cure period or other procedural delay or event required prior to finding of, or termination for, Cause. The foregoing remedy shall not be exclusive.
8. No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Participant the right to be retained in the employ of, or in any consulting relationship to, the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or any Affiliate may at any time dismiss the Participant or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan or this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

9
distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. No such permitted transfer of an RSU, or permitted transfer of a Vested RSU, to heirs or legatees of the Participant shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions thereof.
12. Withholding. The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate and the Company or its Affiliates shall have the right and are authorized to withhold any applicable withholding taxes in respect of the RSU, its settlement, or any payment or transfer under or with respect to an RSU and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes; provided, that upon the settlement of any RSU other than a Settlement Date that occurs following a termination by the Company with Cause or while grounds for Cause exist, or a resignation by Participant without Good Reason, Participant may satisfy such withholding tax obligation via net settlement whereby, to the extent sufficient, the number of Shares delivered upon the settlement of RSUs on any such Settlement Date will be reduced by a number of Shares that has a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory required withholding tax amount.
