If the Company and the Executive are unable to agree upon a medical practitioner, each shall select a medical practitioner and such practitioners shall jointly select another medical practitioner who shall determine whether or not there is a disability.

I will use my best efforts to prevent the unauthorized use of any laptop or personal computer, peripheral device, software or related technical documentation that the Company issues to me, and I will not input, load or otherwise attempt any unauthorized use of software in any Company computer, whether or not such computer is assigned to me.
2. Proprietary Information Definition.

3. Ownership and Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information. All Proprietary Information and all worldwide: patents (including, but not limited to, any and all patent applications, patents, continuations, continuation-in-parts, reissues, divisionals, substitutions, and extensions), copyrights, mask works, trade secrets and other worldwide rights in and to the Proprietary Information are the property of Company, Companys assigns, Companys customers and Companys suppliers, as applicable. I will not disclose any Proprietary Information to anyone outside Company, and I will use and disclose Proprietary Information to those inside Company only as necessary to perform my duties as an employee of Company. If I have any questions as to whether information is Proprietary Information, or to whom, if anyone, inside Company, any Proprietary Information may be disclosed, I will ask my manager at Company.

5. Disclosure and License of Prior Innovations. I have listed on Exhibit A (Prior Innovations) attached hereto all Innovations relating in any way to Companys business or demonstrably anticipated research and development or business, which were conceived, reduced to practice, created, derived, developed, or made by me prior to my employment with Company (collectively, the Prior Innovations). I represent that I have no rights in any such Company-related Innovations other than those Innovations listed in Exhibit A (Prior Innovations). If nothing is listed on Exhibit A (Prior Innovations), I represent that there are no Prior Innovations at the time of signing this Agreement. I hereby grant to Company and Companys designees a royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide, fully paid-up license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to practice all patent, copyright, moral right, mask work, trade secret and other intellectual property rights relating to any Prior Innovations that I incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, in any Innovations that I, solely or jointly with others, conceive, develop or reduce to practice during my employment with Company (the Company Innovations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, any Prior Innovations in any Company Innovations without Companys prior written consent.
6. Disclosure and Assignment of Company Innovations. I will promptly disclose and describe to Company all Company Innovations. I hereby do and will assign to Company or Companys designee all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all Company Innovations. To the extent any of the rights, title and interest in and to Company Innovations cannot be assigned by me to Company, I hereby grant to Company an exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to practice such non-assignable rights, title and interest, including, but not limited to, the right to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import, have made, and have sold, such Company Innovations.

Company will receive any such information in confidence.
8. Cooperation in Perfecting Rights to Company Innovations. I agree to perform, during and after my employment, all acts that Company deems necessary or desirable to permit and assist Company, at its expense, in obtaining and enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title throughout the world in the Company Innovations as provided to Company under this Agreement. If Company is unable for any reason to secure my signature to any document required to file, prosecute, register or memorialize the assignment of any rights or application or to enforce any right under any Company Innovations as provided under this Agreement, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company and Companys duly authorized officers and agents as my agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on my behalf and instead of me to take all lawfully permitted acts to further the filing, prosecution, registration, memorialization of assignment, issuance, and enforcement of rights under such

9. Return of Materials.

12. Restrictive Covenants.
12.1 Covenant Not to Compete. In order to assist me in the performance of my duties, Company agrees to provide me with certain Proprietary Information belonging to Company, to which I previously did not have access, and which I promise not to disclose, as further specified in paragraph 3 above. In consideration of Companys provision to me of this certain Proprietary Information, I agree that during my employment and for a period of [ ] months after the date that my employment is terminated (collectively the Covenant Period), for any reason or no reason, I will not, in any part of the Territory (as defined below) perform the same or similar job duties, responsibilities, and services that I have performed, am currently performing, or will in the future perform for the Company during my employment (Company Services) for any Competitor (as defined below). For the purposes of this Agreement, Territory is defined as the territory within 150 miles of (x) any ice manufacturing facility or ice manufacturing equipment owned or operated by the Company or its Subsidiaries or acquired by the Company after the date hereof or (y) any facility, company or territory being actively evaluated by the Company during the Term, which active evaluation I had actual knowledge of, as a likely acquisition or expansion opportunity within the twelve (12) months preceding the termination of my employment. For the purposes of this Agreement, a Competitor is defined as any business which directly competes with the Company in the ice business. I further agree that during the Covenant Period, I will not own, manage, operate, control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any Competitor located within the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12.1 shall not preclude me from investing my personal assets in the securities of any corporation or other business entity which is a Competitor if such securities are traded on a national stock exchange, through an automated inter-dealer quotation system or in the over-the-counter-market and if such investment does not result in my beneficially owning, at any time, more than 1% of the class of publicly-traded equity securities of such Competitor.
12.2 Non-Solicitation of Customers. I further agree that for a period of [ ] months after the date that my employment is terminated (the Extended Covenant Period) I will not call upon or
communicate with any Company Customer (as defined below) in an attempt to sell or to solicit for sale any services or products which are provided or dealt in by Company. For the purposes of this Agreement, a Company Customer is one for whom I received confidential and/or proprietary information during my employment at Company, including customers for whom I serviced or for whom I solicited to provide services during my employment. At Companys sole discretion, Company may waive or elect not to enforce the non-solicitation and non-competition provisions of this Agreement located in paragraphs 12.1, 12.2, and 13.
13. No Solicitation of Employees/Interference with Contracts. During the Extended Covenant Period, I will not solicit, encourage, or cause others to solicit or encourage any employees of Company to terminate their employment with Company. I further agree that during the Extended Covenant Period, I will not solicit, persuade, interfere with, induce, encourage or endeavor to entice away from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, for the benefit of any Competitor located within the Territory, any of Companys suppliers, licensees or other persons with whom the Company has a contractual relationship.
14. No Disparagement. During my employment with Company and after the termination thereof, I will not make any statements, in writing or otherwise, that disparage the reputation or character of the Company or any of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries, divisions or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or shareholders at any time for any reason whatsoever, except that nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit me from giving truthful testimony in any litigation, administrative or arbitration proceeding either between me and the Company or in connection with which I am required by law to give testimony.
15. Injunctive Relief. I agree that if I violate this Agreement, Company will suffer irreparable and continuing damage for which money damages are insufficient, and Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief and/or a decree for specific performance, and such other relief as may be proper (including money damages if appropriate), to the extent permitted by law.
16. Notices. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered as follows, with notice deemed given as indicated: (a) by personal delivery, when actually delivered; (b) by overnight courier, upon written verification of receipt; (c) by facsimile transmission, upon acknowledgment of receipt of electronic transmission; or (d) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, upon verification of receipt. Notices to me shall be sent to any address in Companys records or such other address as I may provide in writing. Notices to Company shall be sent to Companys Human Resources Department or to such other address as Company may specify in writing.
17. Governing Law; Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America and by the laws of the State of Texas, as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Texas between Texas residents. Company and I each irrevocably consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Texas, as applicable, for any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, except that in actions seeking to enforce any order or any judgment of such federal or state courts located in Texas, such personal jurisdiction shall be nonexclusive. Additionally, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, a claim for equitable relief arising out of or related to this Agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction.
18. Severability. If an arbitrator or court of law holds any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) that provision shall be deemed amended to provide Company the maximum protection permitted by applicable law and (b) the legality, validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected.
19. Waiver; Modification. If Company waives any term, provision or breach by me of this Agreement, such waiver shall not be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Company. No waiver shall constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach by me. This Agreement may be modified only if both Company and I consent in writing.
20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any agreement to arbitrate claims or disputes relating to my employment that I may have signed in connection with my employment by Company, represents my entire understanding with Company with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all previous understandings, written or oral.
I certify and acknowledge that I have carefully read all of the provisions of this Agreement and that I understand and will fully and faithfully comply with such provisions.
