The Associate acknowledges that, in deciding to enter into this Agreement, the Associate has not relied on any promise, representation, or other information not contained in this Agreement, and also has not relied on any expectation that the Company has disclosed all material facts to the Associate. By entering into this Agreement, the Associate is assuming all risks that the Associate may be mistaken as to the true facts, that the Associate may have been led to an incorrect understanding of the true facts, and/or that facts material to Associate’s decision to sign this Agreement may have been withheld from the Associate. The Associate will have no claim to rescind this Agreement on the basis of any alleged mistake, misrepresentation, or failure to disclose any fact. None of the foregoing, however, will affect the Associate’s right, if any, to challenge the validity of this Agreement under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.

Additionally, the Associate shall not at any time, whether prior to or subsequent to the Retirement Date, disclose any Confidential Information obtained during the course of his employment with Walmart or otherwise, unless such disclosure is (a) previously authorized by Walmart in writing, or (b) required by applicable legal proceeding. In addition, the Associate shall not disclose any information for which Walmart holds a legally recognized privilege against disclosure or discovery (“Privileged Information”), or take any other action that would cause such privilege to be waived by Walmart. In the event that the Associate is required by applicable legal proceeding (including, without limitation, by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or other legal proceeding) to disclose any Confidential Information or Privileged Information, the Associate shall provide Walmart with prompt prior written notice of such requirement. The Associate shall also, to the extent legally permissible, provide Walmart as promptly as practicable with a description of the information that may be required to be disclosed (and, if applicable, the text of the disclosure itself) and cooperate with Walmart (at Walmart’s expense) to the extent Walmart may seek to limit such disclosure, including, if requested, by taking all reasonable steps to resist or narrow any such disclosure or to obtain a protective order or other remedy with respect thereto. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained and disclosure is legally required, the Associate shall (a) disclose such information only to the extent required in the written opinion of the Associate’s legal counsel, and (b) give advance notice to Walmart of the information to be actually disclosed as far in advance as is reasonably possible. In any such event, the Associate and his legal counsel shall use reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that all Confidential Information or Privileged Information that is so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment by the recipient thereof.

 “Confidential Information” means information pertaining to the business of Walmart, and includes, without limitation, information regarding processes, suppliers, consultants and service providers (including the terms, conditions, or other business arrangements with suppliers, consultants and service providers), advertising, marketing, and external and internal communications plans and strategies, labor matters and strategies, government relations plans and strategies, litigation matters and strategies, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigatory and compliance information and strategies, tax matters and strategies, community relations and public affairs plans and strategies, charitable giving plans and strategies, sustainability plans and strategies, profit margins, seasonal plans, goals, objectives, projections, compilations, and analyses regarding Walmart’s business, salary, staffing, compensation, promotion, diversity objectives and other employment-related data, and any know-how, techniques, practices or non-public technical information regarding the business of Walmart. “Confidential Information” does not include information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Associate or any of the Associate’s representatives or information that Walmart has authorized the Associate to disclose.

As requested by Walmart, the Associate shall return to Walmart all documents, programs, software, equipment, files, statistics, and other written or electronic business materials, including any and all copies both paper and electronic, concerning Walmart. 

The Associate acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this confidentiality statement prohibits him from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. The Associate does not need the prior authorization of Walmart’s Legal Department to make any such reports or disclosures and he is not required to notify the Company that he has made such reports or disclosures.

a)

Cooperation with Walmart.  The Associate may from time to time after the Retirement Date be called upon to testify or provide information to Walmart in connection with employment-related and other legal proceedings against Walmart. The Associate will provide reasonable assistance to, and will cooperate with, Walmart in connection with any litigation, arbitration, investigations, or judicial or non-judicial administrative proceedings that may exist or may subsequently arise regarding events about which the Associate has knowledge. If the assistance is at Walmart’s request, Walmart will compensate the Associate for all reasonable costs and expenses.

b)

Cooperation with Governmental Authorities. Walmart is currently under investigation by various governmental authorities with respect to alleged improper payments to government officials.  Walmart is cooperating in all such investigations.  Walmart encourages the Associate to cooperate with all governmental authorities in all such investigations.  If such assistance is requested by a governmental authority, Walmart shall reimburse the Associate for all reasonable expenses and costs.

Non-Admission.  The parties acknowledge that the terms and execution of this Agreement are the result of negotiation and compromise, that this Agreement is entered into in good faith, and that this Agreement shall never be considered at any time or for any purpose as an admission of liability by Walmart or that Walmart acted wrongfully with respect to the Associate, or any other person, or that the Associate has any rights or claims whatsoever against Walmart arising out of or from the Associate’s employment.

Although the payments under this Agreement are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and Walmart intends to administer this Agreement so that it will comply with Section 409A, Walmart has not warranted to the Associate that taxes and penalties will not be imposed under Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. The Associate will indemnify Walmart and hold it harmless with respect to all such taxes, penalties, and interest (other than FICA taxes imposed on Walmart with respect to the Associate’s income).

Remedies for Breach.  The parties shall each be entitled to pursue all legal and equitable rights and remedies to secure performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement, and enforcement of one or more of these rights and remedies will not preclude the parties from pursuing any other rights or remedies. Associate acknowledges that a breach of the provisions of Sections 5 through 9 above could result in substantial and irreparable damage to Walmart’s business, and that the restrictions contained in Sections 5 through 9 are a reasonable attempt by Walmart to safeguard its rights and protect its confidential information. Associate expressly agrees that upon a breach or a threatened breach of the provisions of Sections 5 through 9, Walmart shall be entitled to injunctive relief to restrain such violation, and Associate hereby expressly consents to the entry of such temporary, preliminary, and/or permanent injunctive relief, as may be necessary to enjoin the violation or threatened violation of Sections 5 through 9. With respect to any breach of this Agreement by the Associate, the Associate agrees to indemnify and hold Walmart harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, or expense, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees incurred by Walmart and to return immediately to Walmart all of the monies previously paid to the Associate by Walmart under this Agreement; provided, however, that such repayment shall not constitute a waiver by Walmart of any other remedies available under this Agreement or by law, including injunctive relief. In addition to any other remedies at law or at equity, if at any time the Associate fails to comply with the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Associate acknowledges that Walmart is not obligated to make any further Transition Payments to the Associate.
