6. Confidentiality.

a. Confidential Information. Employee acknowledges that as a result of his employment with the Company, Employee may gain knowledge of, and access to, proprietary and confidential information and trade secrets of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including, without limitation, (1) the identity of customers, suppliers, subcontractors and others with whom they do business; (2) their marketing methods and strategies; (3) contract terms, pricing, margin, cost information and other information regarding the relationship between them and the persons and entities with which they have contracted; (4) their services, products, software, technology, developments, improvements and methods of operation; (5) their results of operations, financial condition, projected financial performance, sales and profit performance and financial requirements; (6) the identity of and compensation paid to their employees, including Employee; (7) their business plans, models or strategies and the information contained therein (8) their sources, leads or methods of obtaining new business; and (9) all other confidential information of, about or concerning the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Employee further acknowledges that such information, even though it may be contributed, developed or acquired by Employee, and whether or not the foregoing information is actually novel or unique or is actually known by others, constitutes valuable assets of the Company developed at great expense which are the exclusive property of the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates. Accordingly, Employee will not, at any time, either during or subsequent to the Term, in any fashion, form or manner, directly or indirectly, (i) use, divulge, disclose, communicate, provide or permit access to any person or entity, any Confidential Information of any kind, nature or description, or (ii) remove from the Company’s or its subsidiaries or affiliates’ premises any notes or records relating thereto, or copies or facsimiles thereof (whether made by electronic, electrical, magnetic, optical, laser acoustic or other means) except in the case of both (i) and (ii), (A) as reasonably required in the performance of his services to the Company under this Agreement, (B) to responsible officers and employees of the Company who are in a contractual or fiduciary relationship with the Company and who have a need for such information for purposes in the best interests of the Company, (C) for such information which is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure by Employee, and (D) or as otherwise necessary to comply with the requirements of law, after providing the Company with not less than five (5) days prior written notice of Employee’s intent to disclose. Employee acknowledges that the Company would not enter into this Agreement without assurance that all Confidential Information will be used for the exclusive benefit of the Company. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), Employee will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates that (A) is made (x) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to Employee’s attorney and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Employee may disclose the trade secret to Employee’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Employee files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section.

b. Return of Confidential Information. Upon request by the Company, Employee will promptly deliver to the Company all drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports and copies thereof, including all originals and copies contained in computer hard drives or other electronic or machine readable format, all Confidential Information and other materials relating to the Company’s business, including, without limitation, any materials incorporating Confidential Information, which are in Employee’s possession or control.

7. Intellectual Property. Any and all material eligible for copyright or trademark protection and any and all ideas and inventions (“Intellectual Property”), whether or not patentable, in any such case solely or jointly made, developed, conceived or reduced to practice by Employee (whether at the request or suggestion of any officer or employee of the Company or otherwise, whether alone or in conjunction with others, and whether during regular hours of work or otherwise) during the Term which arise from the fulfillment of Employee’s duties hereunder and which may be directly or indirectly useful in the business of the Company will be promptly and fully disclosed in writing to the Company. The Company will have the entire right, title and interest (both domestic and foreign) in all such Intellectual Property, which is the sole property of the Company. All papers, drawings, models, data and other materials relating to any such idea, material or invention will be included in the definition of Confidential Information, will remain the sole property of the Company, and Employee will return to the Company all such papers, and all copies thereof, including all originals and copies contained in computer hard drives or other electronic or machine readable format, upon the earlier of the Company’s request thereof, or the expiration or termination of Employee’ employment hereunder. Employee will execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company any and all further assignments, contracts or other instruments the Company deems necessary or expedient, without further compensation, to carry out and effectuate the intents and purposes of the Agreement and to vest in the Company each and all of the rights of the Company in the Intellectual Property.

For these purposes, ownership of securities of one percent (1%) or less of any class of securities of a public company will not be considered to be competition with the Business;

(ii) solicit, persuade or attempt to solicit or persuade or cause or authorize directly or indirectly to be solicited or persuaded any existing customer or client, or potential customer or client to which the Companies have made a presentation or with which the Companies have been having discussions, to cease doing business with or decrease the amount of business done with or not to hire the Companies, or to commence doing Business with or increase the amount of Business done with or hire another company;

If Employee breaches or violates any of the provisions of this Section 8, the running of the Period of Non-Competition (but not of any of Employee’s obligations under this Section 8) will be tolled with respect to Employee during the continuance of any actual breach or violation. In addition to any other rights or remedies the Company may have under this Agreement or applicable law, the Company will be entitled to receive from Employee reimbursement for all attorneys’ and paralegal fees and expenses and court costs incurred by the Companies in enforcing this Agreement and will have the right and remedy to require Employee to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profit, monies, accruals or other benefits derived or received, directly or indirectly, by Employee from the action constituting a breach or violation of this Section 8.

b. Exceptions. Utilities and Telecommunications operators (such as NextEra, Verizon, AT&T), cable companies and other non-construction or installation customers of the Company shall not be considered engaged in and competitive with the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, it shall not be a breach or violation of this Agreement for the Employee to serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards, which have been approved by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

c. Consulting. Employee agrees to provide consulting or other services as reasonably requested by the Company and at mutually agreed-upon rates upon his termination of employment with the Company.

Accordingly, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the Company will be entitled, if it so elects and without the posting of any bond or security, to institute and prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction, in law and in equity, to obtain damages for any breach of Sections 6, 7 or 8 or to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement by Employee or to enjoin Employee from breaching or attempting to breach Sections 6, 7 or 8.

h. Potential Section 280G Reductions.

(i)        Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that it shall be determined that any payment, distribution, or other action by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would result in an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the value determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code of the Payments, net of all taxes imposed on the Employee (the “Net After-Tax Amount”) that the Employee would receive would be increased if the Payments were reduced, then the Payments shall be reduced by an amount (the “Reduction Amount”) so that the Net After-Tax Amount after such reduction is greatest.  For purposes of determining the Net After-Tax Amount, the Employee shall be deemed to (i) pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rates of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Payment is to be made, and (ii) pay applicable state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

(ii)        Subject to the provisions of this Section 11(h), all determinations required to be made under this Section 11(h), including the Net After-Tax Amount, the Reduction Amount and the Payments that are to be reduced pursuant to Section 11(h)(i) and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by a nationally accredited accounting firm chosen by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall promptly provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Employee upon request by the Company.  The Accounting Firm’s decision as to which Payments are to be reduced shall be made (i) only from Payments that the Accounting Firm determines reasonably may be characterized as “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code; (ii) only from Payments that are required to be made in cash, (iii) only with respect to any amounts that are not payable pursuant to a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” subject to Section 409A of the Code, until those payments have been reduced to zero, and (iv) in reverse chronological order, to the extent that any Payments subject to reduction are made over time (e.g., in installments).  In no event, however, shall any Payments be reduced if and to the extent such reduction would cause a violation of Section 409A of the Code or other applicable law.  All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.  Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee.

12. Compliance with Section 409A:

a. General. It is the intention of both the Company and the Employee that the benefits and rights to which the Employee could be entitled pursuant to this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance promulgated or issued thereunder (“Section 409A”), to the extent that the requirements of Section 409A are applicable thereto, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with that intention. If the Employee or the Company believes, at any time, that any such benefit or right that is subject to Section 409A does not so comply, it shall promptly advise the other and shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith

to amend the terms of such benefits and rights such that they comply with Section 409A (with the most limited possible economic effect on the Employee and on the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to the Employee that the payments or benefits provided under this Agreement are exempt from, or satisfy, the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the Employee or any beneficiary of the Employee for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that the Employee or any beneficiary of the Employee may incur in the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any amendment or modification thereof, or any other action taken with respect thereto, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A.

b. Distributions on Account of Separation from Service. If and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, no payment or benefit required to be paid under this Agreement on account of termination of the Employee’s employment shall be made unless and until the Employee incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

c. 6 Month Delay for Specified Employees.

(i) If the Employee is a “specified employee”, then no payment or benefit that is payable on account of the Employee’s “separation from service”, as that term is defined for purposes of Section 409A, shall be made before the date that is six months after the Employee’s “separation from service” (or, if earlier, the date of the Employee’s death) if and to the extent that such payment or benefit constitutes deferred compensation (or may be nonqualified deferred compensation) under Section 409A and such deferral is required to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. Any payment delayed by reason of the prior sentence, and interest on any such delayed payment determined at the rate being paid by the Company on its senior credit facility determined as of the date of termination of the Employee’s employment, shall be paid in a single lump sum at the end of such required delay period in order to catch up to the original payment schedule, and any benefits delayed by reason of the prior sentence, shall be provided at the end of such required delay period.

(ii) For purposes of this provision, the Employee shall be considered to be a “specified employee” if, at the time of his or her separation from service, the Employee is a “key employee”, within the meaning of Section 416(i) of the Code, of the Company (or any person or entity with whom the Company would be considered a single employer under Section 414(b) or Section 414(c) of the Code) any stock in which is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise.

d. No Acceleration of Payments. Neither the Company nor the Employee, individually or in combination, may accelerate any payment or benefit that is subject to Section 409A, except in compliance with Section 409A and the provisions of this Agreement, and no amount that is subject to Section 409A shall be paid prior to the earliest date on which it may be paid without violating Section 409A.

e. Treatment of Each Installment as a Separate Payment. For purposes of applying the provisions of Section 409A to this Agreement, each separately identified amount to which the Employee is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In addition, to the extent permissible under Section 409A, any series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

f. Taxable Reimbursements and In-Kind Benefits.

(i) Any reimbursements by the Company to the Employee of any eligible expenses under this Agreement that are not excludable from the Employee’s income for Federal income tax purposes (the “Taxable Reimbursements”) shall be made by no later than the earlier of the date on which they would be paid under the Company’s normal policies and the last day of the taxable year of the Employee following the year in which the expense was incurred.

(ii) The amount of any Taxable Reimbursements, and the value of any in-kind benefits to be provided to the Employee, during any taxable year of the Employee shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year of the Employee.

(iii) The right to any Taxable Reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

g. Tax Gross-Ups. Payment of any tax reimbursements under this Agreement must be made by no later than the end of the taxable year of the Employee following the taxable year of the Employee in which the Employee remits the related taxes.
