10



4.         Duty of Confidentiality. The Company agrees, and Employee acknowledges, that the Company shall provide Confidential Information to Employee as part of the employment relationship between Company and Employee and that such information is necessary for Employee to perform Employee's duties for the Company. Employee agrees that during employment with the Company and thereafter Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, divulge or make use of any Confidential Information other than in the performance of Employee’s duties for the Company.

11



7.         Non-Solicitation of Company Customers.

Employee acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this RCA are reasonable as to time, scope and territory given the Company’s need to protect its Confidential Information and its relationships and goodwill with its customers, suppliers, employees and contractors, all of which have been developed at great time and expense to the Company. Employee represents that Employee has the skills and abilities to obtain alternative employment that would not violate this RCA in the event that Employee leaves employment with the Company, and that this RCA does not pose an undue hardship on Employee. Employee further acknowledges that Employee’s breach of any provision of this RCA would likely cause irreparable injury to the Company, and therefore the Company may seek, at its option, injunctive relief and the recovery of its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in defending or enforcing this RCA (in the event the Company is the prevailing party), in addition to or in place of any other remedies available in law or equity, including any remedies available under the Award Agreement to which this RCA is attached as Exhibit A.
10.      Caveat. Nothing in this RCA shall prohibit Employee from working in any role or engaging in any job or activity that is not in competition with the products and services provided by the Company at the time Employee’s employment ceases.
11.      Breach does not excuse performance. Employee agrees that a breach or an alleged breach by the Company of any provision of this RCA or any other agreement shall not excuse Employee’s obligation to adhere to the provisions of this RCA and shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement thereof by the Company.
12.      Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees that Employee will not make any untrue, misleading, or defamatory statements concerning the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or any of its or their officers or directors, and will not directly or indirectly make, repeat or publish any false, disparaging, negative, unflattering, accusatory, or derogatory remarks or references, whether oral or in writing, concerning the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or otherwise take any action which might reasonably be expected to cause damage or harm to the Company or any Subsidiary

12



or Affiliate or any of its or their officers or directors. . In agreeing not to make disparaging statements regarding the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or its or their officers or directors, Employee acknowledges that he is making a knowing, voluntary and intelligent waiver of any and all rights he may have to make disparaging comments about the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or its or their officers or directors, including rights under any applicable federal and state constitutional rights.
13.     No limitation of Employee Rights.
a.     Employee understands that, notwithstanding any other provision in this RCA, nothing contained in this RCA is intended to or will be used in any way to limit Employee's rights or ability to communicate with any Government Agencies as provided for, protected under or warranted by applicable law or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company.  This Agreement does not limit Employee's right to receive an award from any Government Agency for information provided to any such Government Agency.
b.     Employee further understands that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(1)     Employee will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for any disclosure of a trade secret that is made: (a) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.
(2)    If Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Employer for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Employee may disclose the Employer's trade secrets to the Employee's attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Employee (a) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (b) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
14.Governing Law. The terms of this RCA and any disputes arising out of it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, except that any Texas conflict-of-law principles that might require application of the laws of another jurisdiction shall not apply.
15.Venue. Any dispute arising from or relating to this RCA shall be resolved exclusively in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas or any state court sitting in Dallas County, Texas, at the sole option of the Company, and Employee expressly consents to the personal jurisdiction in these courts and in the State of Texas, and hereby waives all objections to venue and jurisdiction, as well as Employee’s right to removal, if any.

13



16.Construction. This RCA shall not be construed more strictly against one party than any other by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared by counsel for one of the parties. The headings to the sections of this RCA are included for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this RCA.
17.Modification. The parties expressly agree that should a court find any provision of this RCA, or part thereof, to be unenforceable or unreasonable, the court may modify the provision, or part thereof, in a manner which renders that provision reasonable, enforceable, and in conformity with public policy.
18.Severability. If any provision of this RCA, or part thereof, is determined to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, and cannot or will not be modified to render it enforceable, it shall be severable from the remainder of this RCA and shall not invalidate or affect the other provisions of this RCA, which shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforceable according to their terms. No covenant shall be dependent upon any other covenant or provision herein, each of which stands independently.
