THIS EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into on March 25, 2024, by and between Xxxx Xxxx (“Executive”), and Envista Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and shall be effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below).
WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Executive desires to be employed by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
1.Term of Employment. Executive’s employment with the Company under this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence no later than the date that is six (6) months and two
(2) weeks following the date that this Agreement is fully executed by the parties hereto, and shall continue until Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason or no reason pursuant to the terms of Section 4 hereof. The date on which Executive’s employment with the Company commences shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Effective Date.” The date on which Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated pursuant to Section 4 hereof shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Termination Date.” Executive’s employment with the Company shall be at-will, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to guarantee Executive’s continued employment with the Company for any specified period of time. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event that Executive does not commence employment with the Company by the date that is six (6) months and two (2) weeks following the date that this Agreement is fully executed by the parties hereto, this Agreement shall automatically be terminated and shall be of no further force and effect, and the Company and Executive shall have no further obligations to each other, including, without limitation, the Company’s payment obligations under Section 4 hereof and Executive’s obligations pursuant to the Restrictive Covenant Agreement (as defined below), except as may otherwise be expressly set forth in any written agreement which Executive enters into with the Company following the date hereof.
2.Duties and Responsibilities. Executive shall serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and shall report directly to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). Executive’s duties and responsibilities as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall include those normally associated with such positions, and such additional duties as from time to time may be assigned to Executive by the Board. Executive shall perform such duties and responsibilities diligently and efficiently and in accordance with the reasonable directions of the Board. Effective as of the Effective Date, Executive shall also be appointed as a member of the Board. During the Term,
Executive shall devote all of Executive’s business time, attention, and energies to the Company, shall act at all times in the best interests of the Company, and except with the written consent of the Board (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall not during the Term be engaged in any other business activity (including, without limitation, serving on the Board of any other business), whether or not such business is pursued for gain, profit, or other pecuniary advantage. Executive shall be subject to, and abide by, the policies and procedures of the Company as generally in effect from time to time. Executive shall not take any actions, or make any statements, that reflect, or are reasonably likely to reflect, negatively on the Company or its directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers or partners (as the case may be) or the businesses of the Company. During the Term, Executive’s principal place of employment with the Company shall be the Company’s headquarters in Brea, California; provided, that Executive understands and agrees that Executive may be required to travel from time to time for business purposes, subject to the Company’s applicable travel policy.
(a) Base Salary. During the Term, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary at an annual rate of $1,100,000, less applicable statutory deductions and tax withholdings as required by applicable law (the “Base Salary”). Executive’s Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s usual pay practices (and in any event no less frequently than monthly). The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), in its sole discretion, shall annually review the Base Salary, which may be subject to increases or decreases.
(b) Annual Bonus. For each complete fiscal year during the Term, Executive will be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus pursuant to the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan (the “ICP”), based upon the achievement of certain performance targets established by the Committee, with an annual target bonus opportunity equal to one-hundred and fifty percent (150%) of Executive’s Base Salary and up to a maximum of three-hundred percent (300%) of Executive’s Base Salary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for fiscal year 2024, Executive shall be eligible to receive a prorated annual cash bonus pursuant to the ICP, with such bonus equal to the product of (i) the actual amount of annual bonus that Executive would have earned if Executive had been employed by the Company for all of fiscal year 2024, based upon the actual degree of achievement of the applicable 2024 performance targets previously established by the Committee for the Company’s named executive officers with respect to fiscal year 2024, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days Executive was employed by the Company during fiscal year 2024 and the denominator of which is 366. Any such annual cash bonus shall be payable to Executive by March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the end of the year to which such bonus relates, subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable payment date.
(c) Long-Term Incentive Compensation. During the Term, Executive shall be eligible to receive long-term incentive awards under the Envista Holdings Corporation 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Incentive Plan”). Any such awards granted to Executive under the Incentive Plan shall be in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as the Board (or a committee thereof) will determine from time to time, taking into account Executive’s position and performance, and will be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreements evidencing such
awards. Subject to Executive’s commencement of employment with the Company on the Effective Date as contemplated herein, and subject to approval by the Board (or a committee thereof), Executive shall be granted an equity award on or promptly following the Effective Date in respect of the full fiscal year 2024 valued at approximately $6,500,000, calculated in the same manner as the equity awards granted to the Company’s named executive officers in early fiscal year 2024, comprised of: (i) sixty percent (60%) performance-based restricted stock units; (ii) twenty percent (20%) time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”); and (iii) twenty percent (20%) stock options (“Options”), in each case, (x) subject to terms and conditions that are consistent with the equity awards granted to the Company’s named executive officers in early fiscal year 2024, and (y) subject to and governed by the terms and conditions (including, but not limited to, the applicable vesting and forfeiture terms) set forth in the applicable award agreement and the Incentive Plan.
(d) Replacement Awards. Subject to Executive’s commencement of employment with the Company on the Effective Date as contemplated herein, Executive will be granted the following replacement awards intended to reimburse Executive for the forfeited cash and equity awards previously granted to Executive by Executive’s former employer (the “Former Employer”):
(i) A one-time cash award payable on the first payroll following the Effective Date (the “Replacement Cash Award”), subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through such payment date. The actual amount of the Replacement Cash Award shall be equal to the product of (x) $1,197,867 and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days Executive was employed by the Former Employer during the Former Employer’s 2024 fiscal year and the denominator of which is 366. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason (each as defined in the Severance Plan (as defined below)), in each case, during the twelve (12)-month period following the Effective Date, Executive shall be required to repay to the Company an amount in cash equal to the after-tax value of the aggregate Replacement Cash Award within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date.
(ii) A one-time equity award to be granted to Executive on or promptly following the Effective Date, subject to approval by the Board (or a committee thereof), valued at approximately $11,000,000, calculated in the same manner as the equity awards granted to the Company’s named executive officers in early fiscal year 2024, comprised of: (A) fifty percent (50%) RSUs; and (B) fifty percent (50%) Options (the “Replacement Equity Award”). The Replacement Equity Award shall vest in equal installments on each of November 1, 2024, November 1, 2025 and November 1, 2026, subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company through each applicable vesting date, and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable award agreement and the Incentive Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the Incentive Plan or in the applicable award agreement, in the event that, during the Term, Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, any unvested portion of the Replacement Equity Award shall immediately vest in full as of the Termination Date.
(e) Benefits. During the Term, Executive shall be eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans and programs offered by the Company to other similarly situated Company executives (including, without limitation, medical, dental, vision, AD&D and life
insurance plans and 401(k) plans, and to the extent applicable, the Envista Holdings Corporation Excess Contribution Program and the Envista Holdings Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan), in accordance with the terms of those plans and programs. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have the right to terminate, amend or modify any such plan or program at any time.
(f) Vacation. During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation time pursuant to the Company’s paid time off policies and procedures applicable to other similarly situated Company executives (which the Company shall have the right to amend at any time).

(g) Business Expenses. Subject to Section 9 hereof, the Company shall reimburse Executive for Executive’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket business- related expenses actually incurred in the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, so long as such expenses are consistent with the Company’s applicable expense policy as in effect from time to time, and Executive’s timely submission of all documentation for such expenses, as required by such policy.

The provisions of the Restrictive Covenant Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement or Executive’s termination of employment hereunder. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions set forth in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement are material terms of Executive’s employment relationship with the Company, and that the Company would not employ Executive but for Executive’s compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement.
6. Controlling Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Delaware without reference to its choice of law rules. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally (a) consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Delaware for any action, dispute, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (and each
party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees not to commence any such action, dispute, suit or proceeding except in such courts); (b) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such action, dispute, suit or proceeding in any such courts; and (c) waives and agrees not to plead or claim that any such action, dispute, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive was represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to Section 925 of the California Labor Code, (i) Executive has waived the application of California law to this Agreement and any disputes under this Agreement, (ii) Executive has waived any right to have any disputes under this Agreement adjudicated in California, and (iii) Executive acknowledges and agrees that any disputes under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a controversy arising in California.
7. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Executive and Executive’s estate, but Executive may not assign or pledge this Agreement or any rights arising under it, except to the extent permitted under the terms of the benefit plans in which Executive participates. Without Executive’s consent, the Company may assign this Agreement to any successor (if such successor agrees to be bound by this Agreement), after which any reference to the “Company” in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to the successor, and the Company thereafter shall have no further primary, secondary or other responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement of any kind.
8. Taxes. The Company may withhold from any and all amounts payable under this Agreement or otherwise such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. In the event that the Company fails to withhold any taxes required to be withheld by applicable law or regulation, Executive agrees to indemnify the Company for any taxes of Executive that should have been withheld.
9. Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
(i) All provisions of this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the applicable Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), or an exemption therefrom and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent. In no event whatsoever will the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Section 409A or damages for failing to comply with Section 409A.
(ii) A termination of employment will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A, and for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms will mean “separation from service.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning under Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit will not be made or provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Executive, and (B) the date of Executive’s death, to the extent required under Section 409A. Upon the
expiration of the foregoing delay period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 9 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) will be paid or reimbursed to Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement will be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.
(iii) To the extent that reimbursements or other in-kind benefits under this Agreement constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A, (A) all expenses or other reimbursements hereunder will be made on or before the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Executive, (B) any right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (C) no such reimbursement, expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any taxable year will in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year.
(iv) For purposes of Section 409A, Executive’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement is treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period is within the sole discretion of the Company.
(v) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A be subject to offset by any other amount unless otherwise permitted by Section 409A.
10. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument.
12. Section Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
13. Subsidiaries and Affiliates. As used herein, the term “subsidiary” shall mean any corporation or other business entity controlled directly or indirectly by the Company or other business entity in question, and the term “affiliate” shall mean and include any corporation or other business entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company or other business entity or person in question.
restrictive covenants contained in the Restrictive Covenant Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other restrictive covenant obligations Executive has to the Company.
15. Former Employers. Executive is not subject to any employment, confidentiality, or other agreement or restriction that would prevent Executive from fully satisfying Executive’s duties under this Agreement or that would be violated if Executive did so. Without the Company’s prior written approval, Executive shall not: (a) disclose proprietary information belonging to a former employer or other entity without such employer’s or other entity’s written permission; (b) contact any former employer’s customers or employees to solicit their business or employment on behalf of the Company; or (c) distribute announcements about or otherwise publicize Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against any and all claims and liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses, that the Company may incur because Executive is alleged to have violated, or has violated, any of the covenants set forth in this Section 15 or improperly revealed or used such proprietary information or to have threatened to do so, or if a former employer challenges Executive’s entering into this Agreement or rendering services pursuant hereto.

I also acknowledge that I have been notified in accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 that I will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state Trade Secret law for the disclosure of a Trade Secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) 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. I further acknowledge that I have been notified that if I file a lawsuit for retaliation against the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, I may disclose the Company’s Trade Secrets to my attorney and use the Trade Secret information related to that suspected violation of law in the court proceeding if I: (a) file any document containing the Trade Secret under seal; and (b) do not disclose the Trade Secret, except pursuant to court order.
11.Certification. I agree not to disclose to the Company, or use in my work for the Company, any confidential information and/or Trade Secrets belonging to others, including without limitation, my prior employers, or any prior inventions made by me and which the Company is not otherwise legally entitled to learn of or use. Furthermore, by executing this Agreement, I certify that I am not subject to any restrictive covenants and/or obligations that would prevent me from fully performing my duties for the Company. I also agree that after my employment or relationship with the Company terminates, the Company may contact any employer or prospective employer of mine to inform them of my obligations under this Agreement, and that, for a period of one (1) year after my employment or relationship with the Company terminates, I shall affirmatively provide this Agreement to all subsequent employers.
12.Ownership and Disclosure of Developments. I understand and agree that all Developments which I may solely or jointly conceive, write, or acquire in whole or in part during the period I am employed by or working for the Company and which relate in any way to the actual or anticipated business or research of the Company, or which are suggested by or result from any task assigned to me or work performed by me for or on behalf of the Company, whether or not such Developments are made, conceived, written, or acquired during normal hours of work or using the Company’s facilities, and whether or not such Developments are patentable, copyrightable, or susceptible to other forms of protection, are and shall be the exclusive property of the Company. I agree that I will promptly disclose any such Developments to the management of the Company, including by following the Company’s policies and procedures in place from time to time for that purpose. In addition, I agree that all such Developments shall constitute work-made-for-hire, the ownership of which is automatically vested in the Company, and that, to the extent ownership of any portion of any such Development is not automatically vested exclusively in Company as work-made-for-hire, I hereby assign to the Company my entire right, title, and interest in any such Developments. This assignment does not apply to any Development for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, or Trade Secret or other Confidential Information of the Company was used, and which was developed entirely on my own time unless (a) the Development relates directly: (i) to the actual or anticipated business of the Company or (ii) to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research; or (b) the Development results from any work performed by me for the Company. In addition, I agree that I will promptly execute any documents or take any actions as may reasonably be requested by the Company for the purpose of vesting, confirming, or securing the Company’s title to the Developments, and I will do anything else reasonably necessary, at the Company’s sole expense, to enable
the Company to secure a patent, trademark registration, copyright, or other form of protection thereof in the United States and in other countries, and to pursue or defend against any litigation or other claims, even after the termination of my employment or work relationship with the Company. If the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature or other action, whether because of my physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company as my duly authorized agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on my behalf and stead to execute any such document and take any other such action to secure the Company’s rights and title to the Developments.
13.Prior Developments. I have identified below all Developments in which I have any right, title, or interest, and which were made, conceived or written wholly or in part by me prior to my employment or relationship with the Company and which relate to the actual or anticipated business or research of the Company. I represent and warrant that I am not a party to any agreements which would limit my ability to work for the Company or to assign Developments as provided for in Section 12.
14.Identification of Third-Party Obligations. I acknowledge that the Company from time to time may have agreements with other persons or with the United States government or agencies thereof, or other governments or governmental agencies, which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding inventions made during the course of work under such agreements or regarding the confidential nature of such work. I agree to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions that are made known to me and to take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company under such agreements.
15.Remedies. In the event of a breach or a threatened breach of this Agreement by me, I acknowledge and agree that the Company will face irreparable injury which would be difficult to calculate in monetary terms and for which damages would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, I agree that, in the event of a breach or a threatened breach of this Agreement by me, (a) the Company shall be entitled, in addition to remedies otherwise available at law or in equity, to obtain and enforce immediately temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and final injunctions without the posting of a bond enjoining such breach or threatened breach, (b) where permitted by applicable law, any time periods for the restrictions set forth in Sections 5, 6, 7, and 8 above will be extended by an amount of time equal to the duration of any time period during which I am in violation of this Agreement, and (c) where permitted by applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to receive and recover from me all of its reasonable attorney’s fees, litigation expenses, and costs incurred as a result of enforcing this Agreement against me.
16.Amendment, Waiver, Severability, and Merger. If I executed other written agreements relating to this subject matter with the Company, and/or if I later enter into other written agreements that contain provisions similar to the provisions contained in this Agreement, all such provisions shall be interpreted to provide the Company with cumulative rights and remedies, and the benefits and protections provided to the Company under each such agreement shall be given full force and effect. This Agreement can be revoked or modified only by a written agreement signed by me and the Company. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Company shall be effective unless it is in writing, and no waiver shall be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or as a modification of any provision of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable, and if any provision of this Agreement is found by any court to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remainder of this Agreement, as well as the provisions of my prior agreement with the Company, if any, regarding the same subject matter as that which was found unenforceable herein, shall nevertheless be enforceable and binding on the parties. I also agree that the trier of fact may modify any invalid, overbroad, or unenforceable term
of this Agreement so that such term, as modified, is valid and enforceable under applicable law. Further, I acknowledge and agree that I have not, will not, and cannot rely on any representations not expressly made herein. The terms of this Agreement shall not be amended by me or the Company except by the express written consent of the Company and me. The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference and in no way define, limit, or affect the meaning of this Agreement.
17.At-Will Employment Status. I acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or is intended to create a guarantee of employment, express or implied, for any specific period of time. I acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not require me to continue my employment or relationship with the Company for any particular length of time (unless otherwise agreed to in writing as an independent contractor or consultant) and shall not be construed to require the Company to continue my employment, relationship, or compensation for any particular length of time. I acknowledge and agree that my employment with the Company is on an at-will basis to the full extent permitted by applicable law, which means that the Company and I each have the right to terminate the employment relationship with or without cause or reason, with or without notice or compliance with any procedures. I acknowledge and agree that my knowledge, skills, and abilities are sufficient to enable me, if my employment or relationship with the Company terminates, to earn a satisfactory livelihood without violating this Agreement.
19.Obligations Survive Termination. I acknowledge and agree that the restrictions and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall be binding upon me and survive termination of my employment or relationship with the Company regardless of the reason(s) for such termination. I acknowledge and agree that the Company has an important and legitimate business interest that it is seeking to protect with this Agreement, and that enforcement of this Agreement would not interfere with the interests of the public.
20.Cooperation. I agree to cooperate in the truthful and honest prosecution and/or defense of any third party claim in which the Company may have an interest subject to reasonable limitations concerning time and place, which may include without limitation making myself available to participate in any proceeding involving the Company, allowing myself to be interviewed by representatives of the Company, appearing for depositions and testimony without requiring a subpoena, and producing and/or providing any documents or names of other persons with relevant information.
21.Assignment and Transfer of Employment or Relationship. The rights and/or obligations herein may only be assigned by the Company, may be done without my consent, and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors, and assigns. If the Company makes any assignment of the rights and/or obligations herein or transfers my employment or relationship within the Company, I agree that this Agreement shall remain binding upon me. Notwithstanding the language in this Section 21, in connection with and as a condition of any assignment or transfer of my employment or relationship, the Company, a successor, or assignee of the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and require me to sign a new agreement that contains provisions similar to the provisions contained in this Agreement.
22.Change of Position. I acknowledge and agree that any change in my position or title with the Company shall not cause this Agreement to terminate and shall not affect any change in my obligations under this Agreement.
23.Acceptance. I agree that this Agreement is accepted by me through my original, facsimile, or electronic signature. I further agree that the Company is deemed to have accepted this Agreement as evidenced by my employment or relationship with the Company, the payment of wages or monies to me, the provision of benefits to me, or by executing this Agreement.
24.Binding Effect. This Agreement, and the obligations hereunder, shall be binding upon me and my successors, heirs, executors, and representatives and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and its assigns.
25.Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended to benefit each and every subsidiary, affiliate, or business unit of the Company for which I perform services, for which I have customer contact, or about which I receive Confidential Information and may be enforced by any such entity. I agree and intend to create a direct, consequential benefit to the Company regardless of the Company entity with which I am affiliated on the last day of my employment or relationship with the Company.
26.Governing Law. Where not superseded by federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware to the greatest extent allowed by law. The Company and I both consent to personal and subject matter jurisdiction in the state and federal courts in Delaware as the exclusive venues for any dispute regarding this Agreement.
27.Exclusions for Attorneys. If I am an attorney licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction in which the Company conducts business, I understand and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a restriction on my ability to practice law or to otherwise impose any obligation on me that would violate the applicable rules of professional conduct of any jurisdiction in which I am so licensed, including: (a) as an employee of a competing organization or (b) as an employee, partner, or shareholder of a law firm that represents clients that compete with the Company. I acknowledge that, as a licensed attorney, I have obligations in addition to those set forth in this Agreement to, among other things, maintain strict confidentiality with respect to information encompassed by the attorney/client privilege or the work product doctrine and that such obligations continue indefinitely after my employment with the Company ends. This Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with my obligations as a licensed attorney and applicable rules of professional conduct relating to the practice of law, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to expand or contract my ethical and professional duties under those rules.
