7.07    Opportunity to Request Modification. In the event that Key Employee has an employment or other opportunity that may conflict with the provisions of this Section 7, Key Employee is encouraged to bring that situation to the attention of the Vice President of Human Resources or General Counsel for C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. Depending upon the circumstances, it may be possible to agree to an amendment of the restrictions contained in this Agreement, so long as CHRW’s interests can still be protected and preserved.

8.     Confidential Information. In consideration of Key Employee’s employment or continued employment with Employer, and the significant benefits, financial and otherwise, which Key Employee will receive in return for signing this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the benefits under the 1997 Omnibus Stock Plan, and any successor plans, and because Key Employee’s duties as a high-level management employee will necessitate his having access to and being entrusted with confidential and proprietary information relating to CHRW’s business, customers, and persons or entities with whom CHRW does business, Key Employee shall not at any time, whether during or after employment with Employer, disclose to a third party or use for any purpose other than to benefit CHRW, any Confidential Information of CHRW. “Confidential Information” means all information written (or generated/stored on magnetic, digital, photographic or other media) or oral, relating to any aspect of CHRW’s existing or reasonably foreseeable business which is disclosed to Key Employee, to which Key Employee was given access, or which was conceived, discovered or developed by Key Employee (alone or jointly with others), and which is not generally known or which is proprietary to CHRW. Confidential Information includes, without limitation: Employer’s strategic and other business plans; designs; information relating to employees, consultants, vendors, customers, carriers, suppliers, and/or any other person or entity with whom CHRW does business; customer and/or carrier lists, marketing information, aids, or materials; accounting information; merchandising information; rate and/or pricing information;

Key Employee agrees that all the following Information shall be presumed to be Confidential Information and, unless otherwise directed or authorized by an officer of CHRW, Key Employee agrees to treat all the following information as Confidential: (a) all information contained on any computer or computer system of Employer and/or CHRW; and (b) all information which has been disclosed to Key Employee or to which Key Employee has access during the period of employment with Employer which Employer and CHRW do not intentionally disclose to the general public. If Key Employee has any uncertainty or question about whether any information is or should be treated as Confidential Information, Key Employee agrees to inquire with the Vice President of Human Resources or the General Counsel of C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. before taking any action with respect to such information which would involvement treatment of such information in any way inconsistent with its status as Confidential Information. In addition, Key Employee shall comply with the terms of any Confidentiality Agreement by which Employer or CHRW is bound to a third party. Key Employee’s disclosure to attorneys, accountants and other advisors at the Employer’s or CHRW’s request, or in the performance of Key Employee’s duties, shall not be treated as a violation of this Agreement.

9.    Inventions.

9.01    Key Employee shall communicate to Employer as promptly and fully as practicable all Inventions (as defined below) which are (or were) conceived or reduced to practice by Key Employee (alone or jointly with others) (1) during Key Employee’s employment with Employer, or (2) within one (1) year following the termination of Key Employee’s employment with Employer for any reason (and whether occasioned by Key Employee or Employer). Key Employee hereby assigns to Employer and/or its nominees, all of Key Employee’s right, title, and interest in such Inventions, and all of Key Employee’s right, title, and interest in any patents, copyrights, patent applications or copyright applications based thereon. Key Employee shall assist Employer and/or its nominees (without charge but at no expense to Key Employee) at any time and in every proper way to obtain for Employer and/or its nominees the benefits, patents and copyrights for all such Inventions anywhere in the world and to enforce its and/or their rights in legal proceedings. To the extent any materials prepared by Key Employee (alone or jointly with others) during Key Employee’s employment with Employer include material subject to copyright protection (or other intellectual property protection), it is understood and agreed that such materials have been specially commissioned by Employer and they shall be deemed "work for hire" as such term is defined under U.S. copyright law. Key Employee acknowledges and agrees that all documents, digitally, magnetically or optically encoded media, and other tangible materials created by Key Employee (alone or jointly with others) during Key Employee’s employment with Employer shall be owned by CHRW. Key Employee irrevocably acknowledges CHRW's sole ownership in all right, title, and interest to all work created by Key Employee during Key Employee’s employment with Employer and further agrees to engage in no conduct and take no position inconsistent with such sole ownership by CHRW.

9.02    As used in this Section, the term “Invention” includes, but is not limited to, all inventions, discoveries, improvements, processes, developments, designs, know-how, data, computer programs and formulae, whether patentable or unpatentable or protectable by copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property law.

9.03    Any provision in this Section requiring Key Employee to assign Key Employee’s rights in any Invention does not apply to an Invention which qualifies for exclusion under the provisions of Minnesota Statute Section 181.78. That section provides that the requirement to assign “shall not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee’s own time, and (1) which does not relate (a) directly to the business of the employer or (b) to the employer’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (2) which does not result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.” Key Employee understands and agrees that Key Employee bears the burden of proving that an Invention qualifies for exclusion under Minnesota Statute Section 181.78.

9.04    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Key Employee also assigns to Employer (or to any of its nominees) all rights which Key Employee may have or acquire in any Invention, full title to which is required to be in the United States by a contract between Employer and the United States or any of its agencies.

9.05    Key Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Employer and each of its duly authorized officers and agents as Key Employee’s agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and in Key Employee’s behalf and stead to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of patents, copyrights and other proprietary rights with the same force and effect as if executed and delivered by Key Employee.

10    Disputes.

10.01    Except as provided below, all Claims the Employer might bring against Key Employee and all Claims Key Employee might bring against CHRW and/or any officers, directors, employees, or agents of CHRW shall be deemed waived unless submitted to mediation, and thereafter, if mediation is unsuccessful, to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association, modified as follows: (1) the arbitration need not actually be administered by the American Arbitration Association; (2) the parties shall share equally in the fees and costs for the arbitrator and the arbitration process, except that the arbitrator may award such fees and costs to the prevailing party as part of a final decision; (3) any mediation or arbitration shall be governed by the Company’s Employment Dispute Mediation/Arbitration Procedure, which is available on the Company Intranet; (4) dispositive motions shall be permissible and not disfavored in any arbitration, and the standard for deciding such motions shall be the same as under Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; (5) except on a substantial showing of good cause, discovery will be limited to the exchange of relevant documents and three depositions per side; and (6) except as mutually agreed at the time between Key Employee and CHRW, neither Key Employee nor CHRW may bring any Claim combined with or on behalf of any other person or entity, whether on a collective, representative, or class action basis or any other basis. In the case of any conflict between the rules and procedures for either mediation or arbitration, the priority and order of precedence shall be as follows: (1) the rules and procedures stated herein; (2) the Company’s Employment Dispute Mediation/Arbitration Procedure; (3) the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association.

10.02    For purposes of this Agreement, “Claims” shall include, but not limited to, all claims directly or indirectly related to Key Employee’s recruitment, employment, compensation or benefits (except that for any claims under an employee benefit or pension plan that specifies a claim procedure, such claim procedure must first be exhausted before a claim, if any, may be pursued under this Agreement) or termination of Key Employee’s employment with Employer, including, but not limited to, alleged violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code and all amendments thereto, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”), the Older Workers Benefits Protection Act of 1990 (“OWBPA”), the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”), the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), and any and all claims under federal, state, and local laws or regulations (including all such laws and regulations pertaining to employment or prohibiting discrimination). This Dispute Resolution Agreement shall not apply to any of the following: (1) Worker's Compensation claims; (2) claims related to unemployment insurance; (3) any claims by CHRW to enforce Sections 6.06, 7, 8, or 9 of this Agreement; (4) any claims by CHRW that include a request for injunctive or equitable relief, including, without limitation, claims related to its enforcement of any restrictive covenants, non-competition obligations, non-solicitation obligations and/or confidential information provisions contained in any CHRW policy and/or employment agreement(s) entered into between Key Employee and Employer or CHRW; and/or (5) any claims to protect the CHRW’s trade secrets, confidential or proprietary information, trademarks, copyrights, patents, or other intellectual property.

10.03    This dispute resolution provision shall continue in full force and effect during Key Employee’s entire employment with Employer and after such employment has terminated, regardless of the reason for such termination and whether termination was voluntary or involuntary. This dispute resolution provision shall be binding upon the heirs, successors, and assigns of Key Employee and CHRW, and any person or entity

asserting Claims or seeking relief of any kind on behalf of Key Employee or CHRW shall be bound by this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10.04    If any portion of this dispute resolution provision is determined to be void or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and this Agreement may be modified to the extent necessary, consistent with its fundamental purpose and intent, in order to make it enforceable.

11.    Miscellaneous.

11.02    Prior Agreements. This Agreement (including other agreements specifically mentioned in this Agreement) contains the entire agreement of the parties relating to the employment of Key Employee by Employer and the other matters discussed herein and supersedes all prior promises, contracts, agreements and understandings of any kind, whether express or implied, oral or written, with respect to such subject matter (including, but not limited to, any promise, contract or understanding, whether express or implied, oral or written, by and between Employer and Key Employee) and the parties hereto have made no agreements, representations or warranties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement which are not set forth herein or in the other agreements mentioned herein.

11.03    Withholding Taxes. Employer may take such action as it deems appropriate to insure that all applicable federal, state, city and other payroll, withholding, income or other taxes arising from any compensation, benefits or any other payments made pursuant to this Agreement or any other contract, agreement or understanding which relates, in whole or in part, to Key Employee’s employment with Employer are withheld or collected from Key Employee.

11.04    Amendments. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be deemed effective unless made in writing.

11.05    No Waiver. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, except by a statement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver or estoppel is sought. Any written waiver shall not be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated, shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived, and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than as specifically set forth in the waiver.

11.06    Assignment. Key Employee may not assign any right, interest, or obligation under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the written consent of Employer. Employer will be free to assign its rights, interests, and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of Key Employee. After any such assignment by Employer, Employer shall be discharged from all further liability hereunder and such assignee shall thereafter be deemed to be Employer for the purposes of all provisions of this Agreement including this Section 11.06.

11.07    Injunctive Relief. Key Employee acknowledges and agrees that the services to be rendered by Key Employee hereunder are of a special, unique and extraordinary character, that it would be difficult to replace such services and that any violation of Sections 6.06, 7, 8, or 9 hereof would be highly injurious to Employer and/or CHRW, and that it would be extremely difficult to compensate Employer and/or CHRW fully for damages for any such violation. Accordingly, Key Employee specifically agrees that Employer or CHRW, as the case may be, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of Sections 6.06, 7, 8, or 9 hereof, and that such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual damages. Key Employee further agrees that a reasonable and proper bond for any such injunctive relief would be five hundred dollars ($500.00). CHRW and/or Employer shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees

and costs incurred in enforcing Section 6.06, 7, 8, or 9 of this Agreement. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the right of Employer or CHRW to claim and recover damages, or to seek and obtain any other relief available to it at law or in equity, in addition to injunctive relief.

11.08    Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be either equitably modified or deemed to be deleted from this Agreement as to that jurisdiction only, and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, Key Employee expressly agrees that should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the duration, geographic scope, or business activities contained in the restrictions and limitations of Section 7 are in excess of that which is valid or enforceable under applicable law, then such provision, as to such jurisdiction only, shall be equitably modified or construed to cover only that duration, geographic scope or activities that would be permissible under applicable law. Key Employee acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates and agrees that this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law in each applicable jurisdiction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date set forth in the first paragraph.
