Company will satisfy the obligation to provide the health and dental insurance benefits pursuant to this Section 8(c)(iii) by either paying for or reimbursing Executive for the actual cost of COBRA coverage (and Executive shall cooperate with Company in all respects in securing and maintaining such benefits, including exercising all appropriate COBRA elections and complying with all terms and conditions of such coverage in a manner to minimize the cost). Similarly, Company will reimburse Executive for the cost of comparable coverage for all other insurance benefits that are not subject to the COBRA continuation rules. It will be Executive’s responsibility to procure such benefits and Company will promptly reimburse Executive for the premiums for such benefits in the specified amount upon Executive’s submission of an invoice or other acceptable proof of payment. Company’s obligation under this paragraph will cease with respect to a particular type of coverage when and if Executive becomes eligible to receive substantially similar coverage with a successor employer.
Subject to Section 15 herein, the Severance Payment will be paid in equal installments over a period of twelve (12) months in accordance with the Company’s regular paydays and commencing on the Company’s first regular payday that falls at least sixty (60) days following Executive’s termination of employment; provided that (i) Executive has timely executed (and not revoked) a general release and waiver of all claims in a form acceptable to the Company (“General Release”) and (ii) any period of revocation applicable to such General Release has passed; provided, further, that the General Release shall be made available to Executive no later than five (5) days following the date of Executive’s termination of employment under Sections 7(c) or (f) herein. As shall be further described in the General Release, Executive shall have either twenty-one (21) or forty-five (45) days following receipt of the General Release to consider its execution and seven (7) days following the execution of the General Release to revoke it. If Executive fails to execute the General Release in a timely manner, or revokes the General Release, the benefits provided pursuant to this Section 8(c) (other than the Accrued Obligations) will not be due.
9.Change in Control of Company.
(a)Eligibility to Receive Benefits. If a Change in Control (as defined in Section 9(c)) occurs, Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided in Section 9(b) if, prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the Change in Control (i) Executive terminates employment with the Company for Good Reason in accordance with the requirements of Section 7(f) or (ii) the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause pursuant to Section 7(c).
    5

(ii)Executive shall be entitled to continue to receive life, disability, accident and group health and dental insurance benefits, at substantially the levels Executive was receiving immediately prior to Executive’s termination of employment, for a period of time expiring upon the earlier of: (1) the end of the period of twelve (12) months following Executive’s Separation from Service, or (2) the day on which Executive becomes eligible to receive any substantially similar benefits under any plan or program of any other employer or source without being required to pay any premium with respect thereto. Company will satisfy the obligation to provide the health and dental insurance benefits pursuant to this Section 9(b)(ii) by either paying for or reimbursing Executive for the actual cost of COBRA coverage (and Executive shall cooperate with Company in all respects in securing and maintaining such benefits, including exercising all appropriate COBRA elections and complying with all terms and conditions of such coverage in a manner to minimize the cost). Similarly, Company will reimburse Executive for the cost of comparable coverage for all other insurance benefits that are not subject to the COBRA continuation rules. It will be Executive’s responsibility to procure such benefits and Company will promptly reimburse Executive for the premiums for such benefits in the specified amount upon Executive’s submission of an invoice or other acceptable proof of payment. Company’s obligation under this paragraph will cease with respect to a particular type of coverage when and if Executive becomes eligible to receive substantially similar coverage with a successor employer
(iii)Executive shall be vested in any and all equity-based plans and agreements of Company in which Executive had an interest, vested or contingent. If applicable law prohibits such vesting, then Company shall pay to Executive in a single lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the value of benefits and rights that would have, but for such prohibition, been vested in Executive.
(iv)Subject to Section 15 herein, the benefits provided pursuant to this Section 9(b) (other than the Accrued Obligations) will be paid in a single lump sum on the Company’s first regular payday that falls at least sixty (60) days following Executive’s termination of employment; provided that (1) Executive has timely executed (and not revoked) a general release and waiver of all claims in a form acceptable to the Company (“General Release”) and (2) any period of revocation applicable to such General Release has passed; provided, further, that the General Release shall be made available to Executive no later than five (5) days following the date of Executive’s termination of employment under Sections 7(c) or (f) herein.

If Executive fails to execute the General Release in a timely manner, or revokes the General Release, the benefits provided by this Section 9(b) (other than the Accrued Obligations) will not be due. The Incentive Plan payments to which Executive is entitled for the year or quarter of the Executive’s termination shall be made within the time period described in the applicable Incentive Plan, provided Executive has timely executed and not revoked a General Release as described above.
    6    
24030018.6



In no event will the Incentive Plan payments be made later than March 15 of the year following the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated.
(c)Change in Control Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Equity Plan.
(d)Cap on Payments.
(i)General Rules. The Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) imposes significant tax consequences on Executive and Company if the total payments made to Executive due, or deemed due, to a “change in control” (as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and the regulations adopted thereunder) exceed prescribed limits. For example, if Executive’s “Base Period Income” is $100,000 and Executive’s “Total Payments” exceed 299% of such Base Period Income (the “Cap”), Executive will be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code of 20% of all amounts paid to Executive in excess of $100,000. In other words, if Executive’s Cap is $299,999, Executive will not be subject to an excise tax if Executive receives exactly $299,999. If Executive receives $300,000, Executive will be subject to an excise tax of $40,000 (20% of $200,000).
(ii)Reduction of Payments. Subject to the exception described in Section 9(d)(iii), in order to avoid the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, one or more of the payments or benefits to which Executive is entitled that is not subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be reduced until the Total Payments equal the Cap. For purposes of this limitation:
(1)No portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Consultant retained pursuant to Section 9(d)(iv), does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code;
(2)A payment shall be reduced only to the extent necessary so that the Total Payments constitute reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code or are otherwise not subject to disallowance as deductions, in the opinion of the Consultant; and
(3)The value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment of benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.
(4)If after the reductions called for by the preceding provisions of this Section 9(d)(ii), the Total Payments continue to exceed the Cap, the payments or benefits to which, Executive is entitled and which are subject to Section 409A shall be reduced proportionally until the Total Payments equal the Cap.
(iii)Exception. The payment limitation called for by Section 9(d)(ii) shall not apply if Executive’ s “Uncapped Benefit” exceeds Executive’ s “Capped Benefit” by more than 25%. The Consultant selected pursuant to Section 9(d)(iv) will calculate Executive’s Uncapped Benefit and Executive’ s Capped Benefit. For this purpose, the “Uncapped Benefit” is equal to the Total Payments to which Executive is entitled prior to the application of Section 9(d)(ii). Executive’s “Capped Benefit” is the amount to which Executive will be entitled after application of the limitations of Section 9(d)(ii).
(iv)Consultant. Company will retain a “Consultant” to advise Company with respect to the applicability of any Section 4999 excise tax with respect to Executive’s Total Payments. The Consultant shall be a law firm, a certified public accounting
    7    
24030018.6



firm, and/or a firm nationally recognized as providing executive compensation consulting services. All determinations concerning Executive’s Capped Benefit and Executive’s Uncapped Benefit (as well as any assumptions to be used in making such determinations) shall be made by the Consultant selected pursuant to this Section 9(d)(iv). The Consultant shall provide Executive and Company with a written explanation of its conclusions. All fees and expenses of the Consultant shall be borne by Company. The Consultant’s determination shall be binding on Executive and Company.
(v)Special Definitions. For purposes of this Section 9(d), the following specialized terms will have the following meanings:
(1)Base Period Income.” “Base Period Income” is an amount equal to Executive’ s “annualized includable compensation” for the “base period’’ as defined in Sections 280G(d)( l) and (2) of the Code and the regulations adopted thereunder. Generally, Executive ‘s “annualized includable compensation” is the average of Executive’s annual taxable income from Company for the “base period,” which is the five (5) calendar years prior to the year in which the change in control occurs.
(2)Cap” or “280G Cap.” “Cap” or “280G Cap” shall mean an amount equal to 2.99 times Executive’ s Base Period Income. This is the maximum amount which Executive may receive without becoming subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or which Company may pay without loss of deduction under Section 280G of the Code.
(3)Total Payments.” The “Total Payments” include any “payments in the nature of compensation” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code and the regulations adopted thereunder), made pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, to or for Executive’s benefit, the receipt of which is contingent or deemed contingent on a change in control and to which Section 280G of the Code applies.
(vi)Effect of Repeal. In the event that the provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code are repealed without succession, Section 9(d) shall be of no further force or effect.
(vii)Employment by Successor. For purposes of this Agreement, employment by a successor of Company or a successor of any subsidiary of Company that has assumed this Agreement shall be considered to be employment by Company or one of its subsidiaries. As a result, if Executive is employed by such a successor following a Change in Control, Executive will not be entitled to receive the benefits provided by Section 9 unless Executive’s employment with the successor is subsequently terminated without Cause or for Good Reason within twelve (12) months following the Change in Control.
10.Confidentiality, Intellectual Property, Non-Solicitation, and Non-Competition Agreement. As a condition of employment, Executive also must sign the Confidentiality, Intellectual Property, Non-Solicitation and Non-Competition Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement.
11.Applicable Law. This Agreement and any disputes or claims arising hereunder shall be construed in accordance with, governed by and enforced under the laws of the State of Arizona without regard for any rules of conflicts of law.

24030018.6



12.Company Policies.
(a)General Company Policies. Except where inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, Executive agrees that he will be subject to, and comply with, the employment policies and procedures established by the Company from time to time.
(b)Company Stock Ownership Guidelines. Executive agrees that he will be subject to the Company’s stock ownership guidelines.
(c)Clawback. To the extent required by law or Company policy, the Company may require Executive to repay to the Company any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation paid to Executive.
13.Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act. If, at the time Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason, Executive is a person designated to file pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), Executive will provide to the Company a written representation in a form acceptable to the Company that all reportable pre-termination securities transactions relating to Executive have been reported.
14.Withholding. The Company may effect withholdings from the payments due to Executive under this Agreement for the payment of taxes and other lawful withholdings or required employee contributions, in accordance with applicable law.
15.Section 409A.
(a)It is the intention of the Company and Executive that this Agreement not result in unfavorable tax consequences to Executive under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”). To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Agreement comply with the provisions of Section 409A, but the Company does not warrant or guarantee that the Agreement is either excepted from the requirements of Section 409A or that the Agreement complies with Section 409A. The Agreement will be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement to fail to satisfy Section 409A will have no force and effect until amended to comply therewith (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A). The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith in an effort to comply with Section 409A including, if necessary, amending this Agreement based on further guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service from time to time, provided that the Company shall not be required to assume any increased economic burden. Executive remains solely responsible for any adverse tax consequences imposed upon him by Section 409A.
(b)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of the Agreement and no payments shall be due to him under the Agreement which are payable upon his termination of employment until he would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A.
(c)To the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Agreement during the six-month period immediately following Executive’s termination of employment shall instead be paid within thirty (30) days following the first business day after the date that is six months following his termination of employment (or upon his death, if earlier). If it is determined that all or a portion of the payments due pursuant to this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the
    9    
24030018.6



General Release consideration period and revocation period spans two calendar years, the payments provided pursuant to this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A shall not begin until the second calendar year. Executive may not elect the taxable year of the distribution. In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A.
16.Dispute Resolution. The Parties agree that any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement or breach thereof, including without limitation Executive’s employment with or separation of employment from Company, and all claims, to the extent allowable by law, that Company or any of its representatives engaged in conduct prohibited on any basis under any federal, state, or local statute, including federal or state discrimination statutes or public policy, shall be resolved by final, binding and conclusive arbitration in Maricopa County, Arizona, with a sole arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The Parties shall bear equally the cost of the arbitrator. The arbitration shall occur within thirty (30) days of selection of the arbitrator and shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Employment Arbitration Rules and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any arbitration award may, in the discretion of the arbitrator, include reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of the prevailing party. “Attorneys’ fees and costs” mean all reasonable pre-award expenses, administrative fees, travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses such as copying and telephone costs, witness fees and attorneys’ fees. Any award of attorney’s fees and costs to which Executive may be entitled shall be paid by Company, on or before December 31 of the calendar year following the year of the conclusion of the arbitration. Either party may apply to the arbitrator to seek injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the matter is otherwise resolved. Either party also may, without waiving any remedy under the Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction both preliminary and final, and any other appropriate equitable relief, that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that party, pending the retention of the arbitrator.
17.No Conflict. Executive hereby represents and warrants that he is under no conflicting duty or contractual or other legal obligation that would prevent him from executing this Agreement or performing the duties of Senior Vice President of Finance for the Company.
18.No Waivers. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any such provision, nor prevent such party thereafter from enforcing such provision or any other provision of this Agreement. Rights granted the parties hereto herein are cumulative and the election of one shall not constitute a waiver of such party’s right to assert all other legal remedies available under the circumstances.
19.Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered personally or by local courier, (ii) upon confirmation of receipt when such notice or other communication is sent by facsimile, or (iii) one day after timely delivery to an overnight delivery courier.

AGREEMENT

THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements of Insight and Employee and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:

1.Consideration. Employee’s employment or continuing employment with Insight, the right to participate in the 2021 incentive compensation program and/or merit program and the mutual promises in this Agreement are consideration for this Agreement.

2.Employment At-Will. Employee understands and agrees that Employee’s employment with Insight is at-will and may be terminated by either Party at any time with or without cause, and with or without notice. Nothing in this Agreement, nor any subsequent modification, shall confer upon Employee any right to continued employment with Insight or shall interfere with or restrain in any way the right of either Party to terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Only the President of Insight has the authority to alter this at-will provision, which can only be done through a written agreement, signed by the President of Insight.

3.Arbitration. Except as otherwise provided in Attachment A, the Parties agree that:
any Claims that Employee has or may have against Insight or that Insight has or may have against Employee shall be submitted to and determined exclusively by binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act;
the obligation to arbitrate is a waiver of any right to a trial by jury;
the obligation to arbitrate includes a class and collective action waiver, meaning the Claims must proceed on an individual basis; and



the agreement to arbitrate is set forth more fully in Attachment A, and Employee has read, understands, and agrees to Attachment A.
    
4.    Invention Assignment and Proprietary Rights. Employee covenants and agrees the Parties’ rights and obligations with respect to Creations, Invention Assignment, and Proprietary Rights are set forth in Attachment B, and Employee has read, understands, and agrees to Attachment B.

that the covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonably necessary to protect Insight’s legitimate business interests;
Insight’s Trade Secrets and Confidential and Proprietary Information are special and unique assets, to which Employee has or will have access, and need to be protected from improper disclosure and unauthorized use to prevent damage to Insight;
Insight’s business is not geographically restricted, is often unrelated to the physical location of the facilities or locations of Insight, its Clients, or Competing Businesses, and the sale of Insight’s products and services is facilitated by the extensive use of the Internet, telephones, electronic mail, facsimile transmissions, and other means of electronic information, service delivery, and product distribution;
if employment is terminated for any reason, Employee will be able to earn a livelihood without violating the post-employment restrictive covenants in this Agreement; and
Employee’s ability to earn a livelihood without violating the restrictions is a material condition to Insight’s entering this Agreement and employing Employee.

the Parties’ rights and obligations with respect to this subject matter are set forth more fully in Attachment C, and Employee has read, understands, and agrees to Attachment C.

Employee further covenants and agrees: i) the foregoing obligations are set forth more fully in Attachment D, which defines the applicable scope, geographic, and temporal limitations of these covenants; and ii) Employee has read, understands, and agrees to Attachment D.

If the Employee is employed by Insight in California, the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4 above do not apply to Employee.
Section 7.2 does not apply to Employee if, at the time of termination of employment:
Employee is employed by Insight in the state of Washington and either: i) is projected to make less than $100,000 per year on an annualized basis; or ii) Employee’s employment is terminated as a result of a layoff and the sum of the severance, if any, Employee receives for the Specified Duration and Employee’s compensation, if any, for subsequent employment for the Specified Duration is less than Employee’s base salary at the time of termination;
Employee is employed in Illinois and makes less than the greater of: i) the hourly rate equal to the minimum wage required by the applicable federal, state, or local minimum wage law; or ii) $13 per hour; and
Employee is employed in a position below the Director-level and has not been employed in the year preceding the termination of employment in a position where Employee interacts, communicates, or has contact, with Clients.

Employee acknowledges and agrees that the restriction set forth in Section 7.3 of the Agreement prohibits Employee from doing business with a Client or Potential Client for the Specified Period even if the Client or Potential Client approaches Employee first and attempts to initiate business with Employee.
8.Third-Party Beneficiary. Employee and Insight agree that each Insight subsidiary and corporate affiliate is expressly intended to be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement with full rights to enforce the obligations, rights, undertakings, and commitments under this Agreement and its Attachments.
9.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including its Attachments, is the entire agreement of the Parties on these subject matters. Except as may exist in any Insight equity plan or compensation plan to which Employee is a participant, there are no other promises or conditions concerning this subject matter in any other agreement whether oral or written, and this Agreement supersedes any prior written or oral agreements between the Parties concerning these subject matters.
10.Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended by a writing signed by both Parties.
11.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or its Attachments is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement and the Attachments shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator finds that any provision of this Agreement or its Attachments



is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting, editing, or revising such language, it would become valid or enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited, edited, or revised.
12.Attorneys’ Fees. In any action seeking, in whole or in part, enforcement of the Agreement, challenging the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement, or for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the prevailing Party will be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs.
13.Waiver of Rights. If, on one or more occasions, either Party fails to insist that the other Party perform any of the terms of this Agreement, such failure shall not be construed as a waiver by such Party of any past, present, or future right granted under this Agreement, and the obligations of the Parties shall continue in full force and effect. Further, Insight’s failure to seek to enforce a similar agreement with any other Insight employee shall not constitute a waiver of Insight’s rights under this Agreements.
14.Governing Law. Section 3 of this Agreement and Attachment A shall be governed by and interpreted pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. Otherwise, the governing law for this Agreement and its Attachments shall be either: i) the state in which Employee works if Employee works for Insight in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Texas, or Washington, without regard to such state’s conflicts of law principles; or ii) Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of law principles, if Employee works in any state other than those listed in the preceding clause. The Parties agree that, in the event of a dispute, Insight’s records indicating the state of employment for Employee shall be used to determine the governing law.
15.Enforcement of Restrictive Covenants. Employee understands and agrees that the breach by Employee of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 4, 6, or 7 of this Agreement, as more fully defined in Attachments B, C, and D, could not reasonably or adequately be fully compensated in damages in an action at law. Therefore, Insight shall be entitled, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy to injunctive relief. The injunctive relief may include, but is not limited to, restraining Employee from rendering any service or making any disclosure that would breach any restrictive covenant in this Agreement. If Insight is successful in obtaining such injunctive relief, the duration of the restrictive covenant shall be tolled and computed from the date such relief is granted, reduced by the time period between termination of Employee’s employment and the date of the first breach by Employee.
No remedy conferred by this Agreement (including this Section) is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy. Each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity, by statute or otherwise. The election of any one or more remedies by Insight shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.
    To the extent that any of restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement conflict with any of Employee’s obligations in Insight’s compensation or equity plan agreements or plans or contained in any separate agreements that Employee signed with Insight regarding the treatment of confidential or proprietary information or containing any restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, not to compete or not to solicit clients, customers, or employees, Employee acknowledges and agrees that Insight may seek to enforce all such covenants. But in the event of an irreconcilable conflict, Insight may choose, in its sole discretion, which covenant(s) it seeks to enforce. If any of the restrictive covenants contained in Section 4, 6, or 7 of this Agreement are deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be unenforceable under applicable law and incapable of being limited, edited, or revised to become valid and enforceable, then the restrictive covenants previously agreed to by Employee and Insight shall remain enforceable.



16.Successors and Assigns – Binding Effect. This Agreement shall not be assignable by Employee. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Insight and Insight’s successors and assigns. This Agreement may be enforced by Insight’s assignee or successor.
17.Survival. Employee understands and agrees that the obligations, commitments, undertakings, and covenants set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to those set forth in Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment with Insight.
18.Voluntary Agreement; Legal Review; Counterparts. Employee agrees that Employee: i) has read and understands this Agreement and its Attachments in their entirety; ii) may before signing this Agreement, if Employee desires, obtain advice from legal counsel of Employee’s choice to advise him or her on this Agreement; iii) has freely and voluntarily entered into this Agreement; and iv) understands this Agreement may be signed separately by each Party, electronically or physically, and may be transmitted via PDF, facsimile, or otherwise, and each signature page when combined with a copy of the preceding pages of this Agreement shall constitute the full agreement.

ATTACHMENT A
MUTUAL BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
1.Claims. Except as provided in Paragraph 2 below, Employee and Insight agree:
to use binding arbitration to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy that arises out of, relates to, or has any connection with the Agreement or Employee’s employment, application for employment, termination of employment, or other association with Insight (“Claims”); and
this arbitration agreement applies to Claims: i) based on or arising under federal, state, or local laws including but not limited to Claims under or pursuant to constitutions, statutes, regulations, ordinances, executive orders, or the common law; ii) based on or arising under contracts and covenants (express or implied), torts, or restitution; iii) that Employee asserts against Insight’s subsidiaries, and corporate affiliates, their predecessors, successors, or assigns, as well as their respective owners, officers, directors, employees, and agents; and iv) that Insight, its subsidiaries, corporate affiliates, their predecessors, successors, or assigns assert against Employee.

claims for worker’s compensation benefits, state disability insurance, or unemployment insurance benefits; however, Claims asserting retaliation related to such benefits are covered Claims under Paragraph 1;
claims for benefits under any employee benefit plan covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act;
claims that applicable law expressly prohibits from being covered by an arbitration agreement;
Employee from making a report to, filing a charge, or participating in an investigation with a federal, state, or local government agency, but after exhaustion of any such administrative procedures, any Claim asserted by Employee shall be resolved exclusively pursuant to the terms of this arbitration agreement; or
either Party from seeking from a court of competent jurisdiction provisional or preliminary injunctive relief regarding Claims arising under or related to Section 4, 6, or 7 of this Agreement or Attachments B, C ,and D; provided, however, regardless of whether such temporary relief is granted, the underlying merits of the Claims must still be resolved through the arbitration procedures contained in this Attachment.
3.Class Action Waiver. The Parties agree to pursue all Claims in arbitration on an individual basis only and not as part of a class or collective action. Insight and Employee waive any right for a Claim to be brought, heard, or decided as a class or collective action, and the arbitrator has no power or authority, without the express written consent of both Parties, to consolidate the Claims of other current or former employees or to otherwise preside over or hear a class, collective, or representative action.
4.Arbitration Procedures.
1.1Timeliness. The Party asserting a claim must make an arbitration demand in writing upon the other Party within the legally applicable limitations period for filing the same claim in court. If the timely exhaustion of administrative remedies is a condition to



filing a lawsuit in court, then it is also a condition to pursuing such a claim in arbitration. The arbitrator will decide all issues of timeliness.
1.2Arbitration Forum; Arbitrator Selection. The arbitration shall be conducted before a single, neutral arbitrator pursuant to the Employment Arbitration Rules of the AAA or similar procedures for JAMS if Employee works or worked for Insight in California. The current AAA rules may be found at www.adr.org/employment and the current JAMS employment arbitration rules may be found at www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment or either can be provided upon request to the Human Resources Department. Employee and Insight shall participate equally in the selection of the arbitrator. If agreement cannot be reached between the Parties, AAA or JAMS will be contacted for the purpose of securing an arbitrator. The arbitrator selected shall be a retired judge or an attorney with experience in the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitration will be held in the state where the Employee works or worked for Insight or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties.
1.3Costs. Insight will initially be responsible for the administrative costs of the arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fees, subject to: i) if Employee is asserting a Claim, a one-time payment by Employee toward those costs not to exceed the then-applicable filing fee in a court of competent jurisdiction where the arbitration is held; and ii) any subsequent award of costs by the arbitrator in accordance with applicable law. Each Party will be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the arbitration, if any, subject to any subsequent award by the arbitrator in accordance with applicable law.
1.4Discovery; Motions; and Determination. The arbitrator shall have the authority to order such reasonable discovery to permit a full and fair exploration of the issues in dispute, consistent with the expedited and efficient nature of arbitration. The arbitrator may also allow for the hearing of any motions, including dispositive motions. Resolution of the dispute shall be based solely upon the law governing the Claims and defenses pleaded, and the arbitrator may not invoke any basis other than such controlling law. The arbitrator may award any relief that would be legally available in a court of law. Awards shall include the arbitrator’s written reasoned opinion. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, subject to review only under the circumstances set forth in the Federal Arbitration Act. A court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the decision of the arbitrator.
5.Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THE AGREEMENT, BOTH THE EMPLOYEE AND INSIGHT GIVE UP THEIR RIGHTS TO BRING CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY OF THOSE CLAIMS.
