provided, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the first payment of the Severance Payments shall be made on the first payroll period occurring after the sixtieth (60^th) day following the date of termination of the Executive’s employment and shall include payment of any amounts that would otherwise be due prior thereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (A) the acquisition (including through purchase, reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction), directly or indirectly, in one or more transactions by a Person (other than any of the Edwards Investors) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule

7. Restrictive Covenants. In consideration of the compensation and benefits to the Executive provided hereunder and as a result of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive agrees to be subject to and bound by the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7. For purposes of this Section 7, the term “Company” shall include the Company and its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, IBP LLC). The obligations contained in this Section 7 shall survive the termination or expiration of the Term and the Executive’s employment with the Company and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.

7.1. Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, the Executive agrees that the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity: (i) solicit, aid or induce any customer of the Company to curtail, reduce or terminate its business relationship with the Company, or in any other way interfere with any such business relationships with the Company; (ii) solicit, aid or induce any employee, representative or agent of the Company to leave such employment or retention or to accept employment with or render services to or with any other person, firm, corporation or other entity unaffiliated with the Company or hire or retain any such employee, representative or agent or take any action to materially assist or aid any other person, firm, corporation or other entity in identifying, hiring or soliciting any such employee, representative or agent; or (iii) interfere, or aid or induce any other person or entity in interfering, with the relationship between the Company and any of their respective vendors, joint venturers or licensors. An employee, representative or agent shall be deemed covered by this Section 7.1 while so employed or retained and for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter.

5

7.2. Non-Competition. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he performs services of a unique nature for the Company that are irreplaceable, and that the Executive’s performance of such services to a competing business will result in irreparable harm to the Company. Accordingly, during the Term, and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, the Executive agrees that the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, and whether or not for compensation) or render services to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, in whatever form, engaged in the business of sales, installation, marketing, or distribution of insulation, insulation materials or acoustic products, or shower enclosures, shelving, mirrors, blinds or bath accessories, or with respect to any other business or products that the Company engages in or manufactures as the case may be (regardless of whether such activity is at the manufacturing, distribution or retail level) on the date of termination or in which they have planned to engage or manufacture as the case may be, on or prior to such termination date, to be engaged in or manufacture on or after such date as the case may be, in any case within a one hundred (100) mile radius of any of the Company’s (or any of its affiliates’) existing or future branch operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, for so long as the Real Estate Business does not compete with the Company’s business, this Section 7.2 shall not apply with respect to Executive’s engagement in the Real Estate Business. The Executive acknowledges that his skills are such that he can be gainfully employed in noncompetitive employment and that the agreement not to compete will in no way prevent him from earning a living.

7.3. Confidentiality. The Executive shall not, during the Term and at any time thereafter, without the prior express written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly divulge, disclose or make available or accessible any Confidential Information (as defined below) to any person, firm, partnership, corporation, trust or any other entity or third party (other than when required to do so in good faith to perform the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement or when (i) required to do so by a lawful order of a court of competent jurisdiction, any governmental authority or agency, or any recognized subpoena power, or (ii) necessary to prosecute the Executive’s rights against the Company or to defend himself against any allegations). In addition, the Executive shall not create any derivative work or other product based on or resulting from any Confidential Information (except in the good faith performance of his duties under this Agreement). The Executive shall also proffer to the Board’s designee, no later than the effective date of any termination of his employment with the Company for any reason, and without retaining any copies, notes or excerpts thereof, all memoranda, computer disks or other media, computer programs, diaries, notes, records, data, customer or client lists, marketing plans and strategies, and any other documents consisting of or containing Confidential Information that are in the Executive’s actual or constructive possession or which are subject to his control at such time. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information respecting the business and activities of the Company, including, without limitation, the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the clients, customers (including the identity and lists of former, current or potential customers), suppliers, employees, consultants, computer or other files, projects, products, product designs, services, inventions, patents, patent applications, trade secrets, computer disks or other media, computer hardware or computer software programs, marketing plans, marketing methods, financial information, technical information, sales and distribution information, price lists, methodologies, know-how, processes, practices, approaches, projections, forecasts, formats, systems, techniques, data gathering methods and/or strategies of the Company. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Confidential Information shall not include any information that is, or becomes, generally available to the public (unless such availability occurs as a result of the Executive’s breach of any portion of this Section 7.3).

7.4. Non-Disparagement. During the Term and at any time thereafter, the Executive agrees, and the Company shall instruct its executive officers, not to make any defamatory or disparaging remarks, comments or statements regarding the other party (and, if applicable, any of the other party’s

6

subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents or products), in any manner reasonably likely to be harmful to any of them or, if applicable, their respective products, services, business, business reputation or personal reputation. The foregoing shall not be violated by truthful statements in response to legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings).

7.5. Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7 are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the Company’s business, and that each such term, condition, restriction and provision is fair and reasonable with respect to the subject matter thereof. The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Company will have no adequate remedy at law, and would be irreparably harmed, if the Executive breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of this Section 7 of this Agreement. The Executive agrees that, in addition to any and all other legal remedies available, the Company shall be entitled to equitable and/or injunctive relief to prevent any breach or threatened breach of this Section 7, and to specific performance of each of the terms of such Section in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies that the Company may have. The Executive further agrees that he shall not, in any equity proceeding relating to the enforcement of the terms of this Section 7, raise the defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law.

7.6. Reformation. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the potential restrictions on the Executive’s future employment imposed by this Section 7 be reasonable in both duration and geographic scope and in all other respects. If for any reason any court of competent jurisdiction shall find any provisions of this Section 7 unreasonable in duration or geographic scope or otherwise, the Executive and the Company agree that the restrictions and prohibitions contained herein shall be effective to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law in such jurisdiction, and such court shall have the power to reduce the scope or duration of such provision, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable.

7.7. Inventions.

7.7.1. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that all ideas, methods, inventions, discoveries, improvements, work products or developments (“Inventions”), whether patentable or unpatentable, (A) that relate to the Executive’s work with the Company, made or conceived by the Executive, solely or jointly with others, during the Term, or (B) suggested by any work that the Executive performs in connection with the Company, either while performing the Executive’s duties with the Company or on the Executive’s own time, but only insofar as the Inventions are related to the Executive’s work as an employee or other service provider to the Company, shall belong exclusively to the Company (or its designee), whether or not patent applications are filed thereon. The Executive will keep full and complete written records (the “Records”), in the manner prescribed by the Company, of all Inventions, and will promptly disclose all Inventions completely and in writing to the Company. The Records shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and the Executive will surrender them upon the termination of the Term, or upon the Company’s request. The Executive will assign to the Company the Inventions and all patents that may issue thereon in any and all countries, whether during or subsequent to the Term, together with the right to file, in the Executive’s name or in the name of the Company (or its designee), applications for patents and equivalent rights (the “Applications”). The Executive will, at any time during and subsequent to the Term, make such applications, sign such papers, take all rightful oaths, and perform all acts as may be requested from time to time by the Company with respect to the Inventions. The Executive will also execute assignments to the Company (or its designee) of the Applications, and give the Company and its attorneys all reasonable assistance (including the giving of testimony) to obtain the Inventions for its benefit, all without additional compensation to the Executive from the Company, but entirely at the Company’s expense.

7

7.7.2. In addition, the Inventions will be deemed Work for Hire, as such term is defined under the copyright laws of the United States, on behalf of the Company, and the Executive agrees that the Company will be the sole owner of the Inventions, and all underlying rights therein, in all media now known or hereinafter devised, throughout the universe and in perpetuity without any further obligations to the Executive. If the Inventions, or any portion thereof, are deemed not to be Work for Hire, the Executive hereby irrevocably conveys, transfers and assigns to the Company, all rights, in all media now known or hereinafter devised, throughout the universe and in perpetuity, in and to the Inventions, including, without limitation, all of the Executive’s right, title and interest in the copyrights (and all renewals, revivals and extensions thereof) to the Inventions, including, without limitation, all rights of any kind or any nature now or hereafter recognized, including without limitation, the unrestricted right to make modifications, adaptations and revisions to the Inventions, to exploit and allow others to exploit the Inventions and all rights to sue at law or in equity for any infringement, or other unauthorized use or conduct in derogation of the Inventions, known or unknown, prior to the date hereof, including, without limitation, the right to receive all proceeds and damages therefrom. In addition, the Executive hereby waives any so-called “moral rights” with respect to the Inventions. The Executive hereby waives any and all currently existing and future monetary rights in and to the Inventions and all patents that may issue thereon, including, without limitation, any rights that would otherwise accrue to the Executive’s benefit by virtue of the Executive being an employee of or other service provider to the Company.

7.8. Return of Company Property. On the date of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason (or at any time prior thereto at the Company’s request), the Executive shall return all property belonging to the Company or its affiliates (including, but not limited to, any Company-provided laptops, computers, cell phones, wireless electronic mail devices or other equipment, or documents and property belonging to the Company).

8. Representations of the Executive. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company and IBP LLC that (i) the Executive has the legal right to enter into this Agreement and to perform all of the obligations on the Executive’s part to be performed hereunder in accordance with its terms, and (ii) the Executive is not a party to any agreement or understanding, written or oral, and is not subject to any restriction, which, in either case, could prevent the Executive from entering into this Agreement or performing all of the Executive’s duties and obligations hereunder.
