If the Executive is entitled to any notice or payment in lieu of any notice of termination of employment required by Federal, state or local law, including but not limited to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the severance compensation to which the Executive would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of any such payment in lieu of notice. The Executive shall not be entitled to any severance or termination payments (but excluding retirement and similar benefits) under any other plan, program, arrangement or agreement (other than any stock award or stock option agreements) with the Company or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the foregoing payments and benefits shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any payments or benefits to which the Executive and his or her dependents may otherwise be entitled under the Company’s compensation and employee benefit plans. Nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of the Company to amend or terminate any such plan in a manner generally applicable to similarly situated active employees of the Company and its Affiliates, in which event the Executive shall be entitled to participate on the same basis (including payment of applicable contributions) as similarly situated active executives of the Company and its Affiliates.

a.General. The Executive, during and following termination of employment with the Company (for any reason), shall not directly or indirectly, individually, in partnership or through a corporation, limited liability company or other entity, as employee, agent, proprietor, manager, executive, shareholder, or consultant, compete with the Company or assist others to so compete; nor will the Executive, without the written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly solicit, entice, persuade, or induce any person or entity which has a business relationship with the Company to direct or transfer away any business, patronage, or source of supply from the Company. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, this noncompetition covenant shall be limited to: (i) a period of 12 months following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company (for any reason) (the “Restrictive Period”); and (ii) competition by Executive on behalf of direct competitors of the Company. This Section 5 does not, in any way, restrict or impede the Executive from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by law, regulation or order. Executive shall promptly provide written notice of any such order to the Company.

b.Non-Solicitation of Customers. The Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment and during the Restrictive Period, the Executive will not, by influencing or attempting to influence previously existing customers, or otherwise, either directly or indirectly, divert or attempt to divert from the Company, any business the Company had enjoyed or solicited anywhere during the past 12 months, or in connection with which the Executive worked during the last 12 months of the Executive’s employment.

c.Non-Solicit and Non-Hire of Employees. The Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment and during the Restrictive Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, approach or solicit any employee of the Company or any individual employed by the Company in the prior six months, with a view to hiring such employee for any other entity or persuading such employee to leave the employment of the Company, or directly or indirectly, hire such employee, unless the Company specifically consents in writing.

d.Formation of Competitive Business Prohibited. The Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment, Executive will not (i) undertake any planning for or organization of any business activity competitive with the Company’s business, or (ii) combine or conspire with other employees of the Company for the purpose of organizing any such competitive business activity.

e.Enforcement. The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 4 and 5, in view of the nature of the business in which the Company is engaged, are reasonable and necessary in order to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and that any violation of Sections 4 or 5 would result in irreparable injury to the Company for which money damages alone would not provide an adequate remedy, and the Executive’s observance of these restrictions will not cause the Executive any undue hardship nor unreasonably interfere with Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood. In the event of a breach or a threatened

breach by the Executive of Section 4 or 5, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Executive from the commission of such breach, and to recover its attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses related to the breach or threatened breach. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of money damages. The covenants and disclosures in Sections 4 and 5 will be construed as independent of any other provisions in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants and agreements. In addition, while the duration of the Executive’s restrictions will be determined generally in accordance with their respective provisions, if the Executive violates any of the restrictions, the Executive agrees to an extension of such restrictions on the same terms and conditions for an additional period of time equal to the time that elapses from the commencement of such violation to the later of (a) the termination of such violation or (b) the final resolution of any litigation (including any appeal) stemming from such violation.

a.The Executive acknowledges and agrees that all writings, works of authorship, technology, inventions, discoveries, ideas and other work product of any nature whatsoever, that are created, prepared, produced, authored, edited, amended, conceived or reduced to practice by the Executive individually or jointly with

others during the period of the Executive’s employment by the Company and relating in any way to the business or contemplated business, research or development of the Company (regardless of when or where the Work Product is prepared or whose equipment or other resources is used in preparing the same) and all printed, physical and electronic copies, all improvements, rights and claims related to the foregoing, and other tangible embodiments thereof (collectively, “Work Product”), as well as any and all rights in and to copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks (and related goodwill), mask works, patents and other intellectual property rights therein arising in any jurisdiction throughout the world and all related rights of priority under international conventions with respect thereto, including all pending and future applications and registrations therefore, and continuations, divisions, continuations-in-part, reissues, extensions and renewals thereof (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”), shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

b.For purposes of this Agreement, Work Product includes, but is not limited to, Company information, including plans, publications, research, strategies, techniques, agreements, documents, contracts, terms of agreements, negotiations, know-how, computer programs, computer applications, software design, web design, work in process, databases, manuals, results, developments, reports, graphics, drawings, sketches, market studies, formulae, notes, communications, algorithms, product plans, product designs, styles, models, audiovisual programs, inventions, unpublished patent applications, original works of authorship, discoveries, experimental processes, experimental results, specifications, customer information, client information, customer lists, client lists, manufacturing information, marketing information, advertising information, and sales information.

Section 101 and such copyrights are therefore owned by the Company. To the extent that the foregoing does not apply, the Executive hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company, for no additional consideration, the Executive’s entire right, title and interest in and to all Work Product and Intellectual Property Rights therein, including the right to sue, counterclaim and recover for all past, present and future infringement, misappropriation or dilution thereof, and all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to reduce or limit the Company’s rights, title or interest in any Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights so as to be less in any respect than that the Company would have had in the absence of this Agreement.

d.During and after the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company to (i) apply for, obtain, perfect and transfer to the Company the Work Product as well as an Intellectual Property Right in the Work Product in any jurisdiction in the world; and (ii) maintain, protect and enforce the same, including, without limitation, executing and delivering to the Company any and all applications, oaths, declarations, affidavits, waivers, assignments and other documents and instruments as shall be requested by the Company. The Executive hereby irrevocably grants the Company power of attorney to execute and deliver any such documents on the Executive’s behalf in Executive’s name and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to transfer the Work Product to the Company and further the transfer, issuance, prosecution and maintenance of all Intellectual Property Rights therein, to the full extent permitted by law, if the Executive does not promptly cooperate with the Company’s request (without limiting the rights the Company shall have in such circumstances by operation of law). The power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall not be affected by the Executive’s subsequent incapacity, death, or Disability.

e.The Executive understands that this Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, grant the Executive any license or right of any nature with respect to any Work Product or Intellectual Property Rights or any Confidential Information, materials, software or other tools made available to the Executive by the Company.

8.    Security and Access. Executive agrees and covenants (i) to comply with all Company security policies and procedures as in force from time to time including without limitation those regarding computer equipment, telephone systems, voicemail systems, facilities access, monitoring, key cards, access codes, Company intranet, internet, social media and instant messaging systems, computer systems, e-mail systems, computer networks, document storage systems, software, data security, encryption, firewalls, passwords and any and all other Company facilities, IT resources and communication technologies (“Facilities Information Technology and Access Resources”); (ii) not to access or use any Facilities and Information Technology Resources except as authorized by the Company; and (iii) not to access or use any Facilities and Information Technology Resources in any manner after the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company, whether termination is voluntary or involuntary. The Executive agrees to notify the Company promptly in the event the Executive learns of any violation of the foregoing by others, or of any other misappropriation or unauthorized access, use, reproduction or

reverse engineering of, or tampering with any Facilities and Information Technology Access Resources or other Company property or materials by others.

9.    Publicity. The Executive hereby irrevocably consents to any and all uses and displays, by the Company and its agents, representatives and licensees, of the Executive’s name, voice, likeness, image, appearance and biographical information in, on or in connection with any pictures, photographs, audio and video recordings, digital images, websites, television programs and advertising, other advertising and publicity, sales and marketing brochures, books, magazines, other publications, CDs, DVDs, tapes and all other printed and electronic forms and media throughout the world, at any time during or after the period of the Executive’s employment by the Company, for all legitimate commercial and business purposes of the Company (“Permitted Uses”) without further consent from or royalty, payment or other compensation to the Executive. The Executive hereby forever waives and releases the Company and its directors, officers, employees and agents from any and all claims, actions, damages, losses, costs, expenses and liability of any kind, arising under any legal or equitable theory whatsoever at any time during or after the period of the Executive’s employment by the Company, arising directly or indirectly from the Company’s and its agents’, representatives’ and licensees’ exercise of their rights in connection with any Permitted Uses.

10.    Tax Withholding. All payments to the Executive under this Agreement will be subject to the withholding of all applicable employment and income taxes.

11.    Severability. In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

12.    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor of the Company. The Company will require any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no succession had taken place. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and may not be assigned by him otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

13.    Entire Agreement. By executing this Agreement, the Executive agrees that any and all agreements executed between the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company or any predecessor of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company) and the Executive prior to the date hereof regarding benefits resulting from a Change in Control are hereby nullified and cancelled in their entirety, and this Agreement shall substitute for and fully replace any such prior agreements. This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be modified in any manner except by a written instrument signed by both the Company and the Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement adversely modifies or affects the terms of any written or electronic agreement entered into by the Company and the Executive setting forth the terms and provisions applicable to any equity-based incentive award granted to the Executive pursuant to any equity plan sponsored or maintained by the Company.

14.    Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted and construed consistently with such intent. The payments to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement are also intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent possible, under either the separation pay exemption pursuant to Treasury regulation §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) or as short-term deferrals pursuant to Treasury regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4), and for this purpose each payment shall constitute a “separately identified” amount within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-2(b)(2). If the terms or operation of this Agreement would subject the Executive to taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code (“409A Penalties”), the Company and the Executive shall cooperate diligently to amend the terms of this Agreement to avoid such 409A Penalties, to the extent possible; provided that in no event shall the Company be responsible for any 409A Penalties that arise in connection with any amounts payable under this Agreement. To the extent any amounts under this Agreement are payable by reference to the Executive’s “termination of employment,” such term shall be deemed to refer to the Executive’s “separation from service,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if the Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, as of the date of the Executive’s separation from service, then to the extent any amount payable to the Executive (i) constitutes the payment of nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (ii) is payable upon the Executive’s separation from service and (iii) under the terms of this Agreement would be payable prior to the six-month anniversary of the Executive’s separation from service, such payment shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (a) the first business day following the six-month anniversary of the Executive's separation from service and (b) the date of the Executive’s death. Any reimbursement or advancement payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall be conditioned on the submission by the Executive of all expense reports reasonably required by the Company under any applicable expense reimbursement policy, and shall be paid to the Executive within 30 days following receipt of such expense

reports, but in no event later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive incurred the reimbursable expense. Any amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefit provided, during a calendar year shall not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefit to be provided, during any other calendar year. The right to any reimbursement or in-kind benefit pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.
