8. Confidential Information; Covenant Not to Solicit or Service Customers or Prospective Customers; Related Matters.

(a) Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the Confidential Information (as hereafter defined) constitutes valuable, secret, special, and unique assets of Company. Employee covenants and agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three years following termination (whether voluntary or involuntary), Employee will not disclose the Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, association, or other entity for any reason or purpose without the express written approval of Company and will not use the Confidential Information except in Company’s business. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Confidential Information is the property of Company and must be immediately returned to Company upon demand. The term “Confidential Information” includes all information, whether or not reduced to written or recorded form, that is related to Company and that is not generally known to competitors of the Company nor intended for general dissemination, whether furnished by Company or compiled by Employee, including but not limited to: (1) lists of the Company’s customers, insurance carriers, Company accounts and records pertaining thereto; and (2) prospect lists, policy forms, and/or rating information, expiration dates, information on risk characteristics,

information concerning insurance markets for large or unusual risks, and all other types of written information customarily used by Company or available to the Employee. Employee understands that it is Company’s intention to maintain the confidentiality of this information notwithstanding that employees of Company may have free access to the information for the purpose of performing their duties with Company, and notwithstanding that employees who are not expressly bound by agreements similar to this agreement may have access to such information for job purposes. Employee acknowledges that it is not practical, and shall not be necessary, to mark such information as “confidential,” nor to transfer it within the Company by confidential envelope or communication, in order to preserve the confidential nature of the information.

(b) For a period of two (2) years following termination of employment hereunder (whether voluntary or involuntary), Employee specifically agrees not to solicit, divert, accept, nor service, directly or indirectly, as insurance solicitor, insurance agent, insurance broker, insurance wholesaler, managing general agent, or otherwise, for Employee’s accounts or the accounts of any other agent, broker, or insurer, either as officer, director, stockholder, owner, partner, employee, promoter, consultant, manager, or otherwise, any insurance or bond business of any kind or character from any person, firm, corporation, or other entity, that is a customer or account of the Company during the term of this Agreement, or from any prospective customer or account to whom the Company made proposals about which Employee had knowledge, or in which Employee participated, during the last two years of Employee’s employment with Company. For purposes of this Agreement, Employee acknowledges that informing existing clients or prospects that Employee is or may be leaving Company prior to leaving employment of Company shall be deemed to constitute prohibited solicitation under this Agreement.

Should a court of competent jurisdiction declare any of the covenants set forth in this paragraph unenforceable, each of the parties hereto agrees that such court shall be empowered and shall grant Company injunctive relief reasonably necessary to protect its interest.

(c) Employee agrees that Company shall have the right to communicate the terms of this Agreement to any third parties, including but not limited to, any past, present or prospective employer of Employee. Employee waives any right to assert any claim for damages against Company or any officer, employee or agent of Company arising from disclosure of the terms of this Agreement.

(d) In the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this paragraph 8, Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief as well as any other applicable remedies at law or in equity. Employee understands and agrees that without such protection, Company’s business would be irreparably harmed, and that the remedy of monetary damages alone would be inadequate.

(e) Should legal proceedings (including arbitration proceedings) have to be brought by the Company against the Employee to enforce this Agreement, the period of restriction under this paragraph 8 shall be deemed to begin running on the date of entry of an

order granting the Company preliminary injunctive relief and shall continue uninterrupted for the next succeeding two (2) years. The Employee acknowledges that the purposes of this paragraph 8 would be frustrated by measuring the period of restriction from the date of termination of employment where the Employee failed to honor the Agreement until directed to do so by court order.

(f) The provisions of this paragraph 8 shall be independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Employee against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of this paragraph 8 by the Company.

9. Organizing Competitive Businesses; Soliciting Company Employees. Employee agrees that so long as Employee is working for Company, Employee will not undertake the planning or organizing of any business activity competitive with the work Employee performs. Employee agrees that Employee will not, for a period of two years following termination of employment with Company, directly or indirectly solicit any of the Company’s employees to work for Employee or any other competitive company. Employee acknowledges and agrees that all activities under this paragraph shall be presumed to be in aid of prohibited solicitation under the terms of paragraph 8 of this Agreement, and shall justify injunctive relief as provided in paragraph 8.

10. Protection of Company Property. All records, files, manuals, lists of customers, blanks, forms, materials, supplies, computer programs and other materials furnished to the Employee by the Company, used by Employee on its behalf, or generated or obtained by Employee during the course of Employee’s employment, shall be and remain the property of Company. Employee shall be deemed the bailee thereof for the use and benefit of Company and shall safely keep and preserve such property, except as consumed in the normal business operations of Company. Employee acknowledges that this property is confidential and is not readily accessible to Company’s competitors. Upon termination of employment hereunder, the Employee shall immediately deliver to Company or its authorized representative all such property, including all copies, remaining in the Employee’s possession or control.

Employee understands that it is Company’s intention to maintain the confidentiality of this information notwithstanding that employees of Company may have free access to the information for the purpose of performing their duties with Company, and notwithstanding that employees who are not expressly bound by agreements similar to this agreement may have access to such information for job purposes. Employee acknowledges that it is not practical, and shall not be necessary, to mark such information as “confidential,” nor to transfer it within Company by confidential envelope or communication, in order to preserve the confidential nature of the information.

11. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of a dispute concerning the terms of this Agreement, or arising out of the employment relationship created by this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other remedy obtained, (i) all attorneys’ fees incurred in the investigation and preparation of issues for trial and in the trial and appellate proceedings, and (ii) costs and expenses of investigation and litigation, including expert witness fees, deposition costs (appearance fee and transcript charges), injunction bond premiums, travel and lodging expenses, arbitration fees and charges, and all other reasonable costs and expenses.
