You agree that if any covenant contained in this Section is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to contain limitations as to time, geographic area, or scope of activity that are not reasonable and impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill, trade secrets, or other business interests of Archrock, then the court shall reform the covenant to the extent necessary to cause the limitations contained in the covenant as to time, geographic area, and scope

of activity to be restrained to be reasonable and to impose a restraint that is not greater than necessary to protect the goodwill, trade secrets, and other business interests of Archrock.

g.    In the event that Archrock determines that you have breached or attempted or threatened to breach any term of this Section, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity Archrock may have available to it, it is agreed that Archrock shall be entitled, upon application to any court of proper jurisdiction, to a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction (without necessity of (i) proving irreparable harm, (ii) establishing that monetary damages are inadequate, or (iii) posting any bond with respect thereto, where permitted by law) against you prohibiting such breach or attempted or threatened breach by proving only the existence of such breach or attempted or threatened breach. You agree that, where permitted by law, the period during which the covenants contained in this Section are in effect shall be computed by excluding from such computation any time during which you are in violation of any provision of this Section.

h.    You hereby acknowledge that the Award being granted to you under the Plan is an extraordinary item of compensation and is not part of, nor in lieu of, your ordinary wages for services you may render to Archrock.

i.    You understand that this agreement is independent of and does not affect the enforceability of any other restrictive covenants by which you have agreed to be bound in any other agreement with Archrock.

j.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award, the provisions of this Section shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.
