(b) Employee may be employed by, work for, consult with, provide services to, or lend assistance to a Competing Entity provided that: i) the Competing Entity’s business is diversified; ii) the part of the Competing Entity’s business with which Employee will be affiliated would not, evaluated on a stand-alone basis, be a Competing Entity; iii) Employee’s affiliation with the Competing Entity does not involve any Competing Products; and iv) Employee provides Company a written description of Employee’s anticipated activities on behalf of the Competing Entity which includes, without limitation, an assurance satisfactory to Company that Employee’s affiliation with the Competing Entity does not constitute a Prohibited Capacity.

Employee will not, within the Restricted Geographic Area, employ, solicit for employment, or advise any other person or entity to employ or solicit for employment, any individual employed by Company at the time of Employee’s separation from his employment with Company, or otherwise directly or indirectly induce or entice any such employee to leave his/her employment with Company to work for, consult with, provide services to, or lend assistance to any Competing Entity.

(5) Covenant Not to Disparage Company. Employee will not make or publish any disparaging or derogatory statements about Company; about Company’s products, processes, or services; or about Company’s past, present and future officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents. Disparaging or derogatory statements include, but are not limited to, negative statements regarding Company’s business or other practices; provided, however, nothing herein shall prohibit Employee from providing any information as may be compelled by law or legal process.

8. Reasonableness of Terms. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement restrict Employee from engaging in activities for a competitive purpose and are reasonably necessary to protect Company’s legitimate interests in Confidential Information, Inventions, and goodwill. Additionally, Employee acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive covenants are reasonable in all respects, including, but not limited to, temporal duration, scope of prohibited activities and geographic area. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement will not pose any hardship on Employee and that Employee will reasonably be able to earn an equivalent livelihood without violating any provision of this Agreement.

9. Non-Competition Period Payments. To the extent Employee is denied a specific employment position that would otherwise be offered to Employee by a Competing Entity solely because of the restrictive covenant provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement, and provided Employee satisfies all conditions stated herein, then upon expiration of the period of time represented by any severance benefits Employee was offered, Zimmer will make payments to Employee equal to Employee’s monthly base pay at the time of Employee’s separation from his employment with Company (exclusive of bonus and other extra compensation and any other employee benefits) for each month of such unemployment through the end of the Restricted Period.

a. Expiration of Severance Benefits. Severance benefits shall be deemed to have expired at the conclusion of the period of time represented by the total amount of any notice or severance benefits offered to Employee (whether or not actually paid or given, and whether or not given, paid in a lump sum or through continuing payments).

b. Verification of Eligibility for Non-Competition Period Payments. To qualify for payments under this Section 9, Employee must provide Company detailed written documentation supporting eligibility for payment, including, at a minimum, (a) the name and location of the Competing Entity that would have employed Employee but for the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement, (b) the title, nature, and detailed job responsibilities of the employment position with the Competing Entity that Employee was denied, (c) the date Employee was denied the employment position, and (d) the name and contact information of a managerial employee at the Competing Entity who has sufficient authority to confirm that Employee was denied this specific employment position with the Competing Entity solely because Employee is subject to the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement (the “eligibility documentation”). Upon receipt of the eligibility documentation, Company will determine eligibility for payment and, if eligibility is established, payments will commence as of the date of Company’s receipt of the eligibility documentation.

-6-

c. Obligation to Pursue Replacement Employment and Verification of Continued Eligibility for Non-Competition Period Payments. Employee is obligated to diligently seek and pursue replacement employment that does not violate Section 7 of this Agreement (“replacement employment”) during any period in which Employee seeks and/or accepts payment from Company under this Section 9. After eligibility for non-competition period payments is established, Employee will, on or before the 15^th day of each month of eligibility for continued payments, submit to Company a written statement (i) identifying by name and address all prospective employers with whom Employee has applied or inquired about employment; (ii) identifying positions sought with each listed employer and specific actions taken in seeking each position; (iii) describing all other efforts made to obtain replacement employment; and (iv) describing any offers of employment received, including the name of the employer; the nature, title, and compensation terms of the position offered; the actual or anticipated start date if the offer has been accepted; and the reason(s) for declining if the offer was declined.

d. Effect of Replacement Employment on Non-Competition Period Payments. If Employee is denied a specific employment position with a Competing Entity solely because of the restrictive covenant provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement but obtains replacement employment, and the monthly compensation (including base pay, commissions, incentive compensation, bonuses and other compensation) for the replacement employment is less than Employee’s monthly base pay at the time of Employee’s separation from employment with Company, Company agrees to pay Employee the difference for each such month through the end of the Restricted Period, again upon expiration of any severance benefits which Employee was offered and provided Employee satisfies all conditions stated herein. Employee shall submit to Company payroll records (as well as any other records reasonably requested by Company) showing all compensation received by Employee from the replacement employment as a condition of Company’s payment of Non-Competition Period Payments covering any period of time when Employee is working in replacement employment. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event payment is made by Company to Employee under this Section 9(d), Employee’s entitlement to payment under Section 9(a) shall cease.

e. Company’s Right To Provide Release of Obligations in Lieu of Non-Competition Period Payments. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, Company reserves the right to release Employee from Employee’s obligations under Section 7 of this Agreement at any time during the Restricted Period, in full or in sufficient part to allow Employee to accept employment that would otherwise be prohibited under this Agreement, at which time Company’s payment obligations under this Section 9 shall cease immediately and Employee shall not be entitled to any further such payments or compensation.

10. Severability, Modification of Restrictions: The covenants and restrictions in this Agreement are separate and divisible, and to the extent any clause, portion or section of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, Company and Employee acknowledge and agree that such unenforceability or invalidity shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remainder of the Agreement. If any particular covenant, provision or clause of this Agreement is determined to be unreasonable or unenforceable for any reason, including, without limitation, temporal duration, scope of prohibited activity, and/or scope of geographic area, Company and Employee acknowledge and agree that such covenant, provision or clause shall automatically be deemed reformed to have the closest effect permitted by applicable law to the original form and shall be given effect and enforced as so reformed to whatever extent would be reasonable and enforceable under applicable law. The parties agree that any court interpreting the provisions of this Agreement shall have the authority, if necessary, to reform any such provision to make it enforceable under applicable law.

-7-

11. Remedies. Employee acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by Employee of this Agreement will give rise to irreparable injury to Company and that money damages will not be adequate relief for such injury. Accordingly, Employee agrees that Company shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief, including, but not limited to, temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and/or permanent injunctions, without having to post any bond or other security, to restrain or prohibit such breach or threatened breach, in addition to any other legal remedies which may be available. In addition to all other relief to which it shall be entitled, Company shall be entitled to cease all payments to which Employee would otherwise be entitled under Section 9 hereto; continue to enforce this Agreement; recover from Employee all payments made under Section 9 to the extent attributable to a time during which Employee was in violation of the covenants for which payment was made; and recover from Employee all litigation costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by Company in any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement in which Company prevails in any respect, including, but not limited to, any action or proceeding in which Company seeks enforcement of this Agreement or seeks relief from Employee’s violation of this Agreement.

12. Survival of Obligations. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee’s obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Employee’s non-disclosure and non-competition obligations, shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment with Company, whether such termination is with or without cause and whether it is voluntary or involuntary. Employee acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement alters the at-will nature of Employee’s employment and that either Company or Employee may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or notice. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Employee’s non-disclosure, non-disparagement, non-solicitation and non-competition covenants set forth in Sections 2 and 7 of this Agreement shall be construed as independent covenants and that no breach of any contractual or legal duty by Company shall be held sufficient to excuse or terminate Employee’s obligations or to preclude Company from obtaining injunctive relief or other remedies for Employee’s violation or threatened violation of such covenants, and (b) the existence of any claim or cause of action by Employee against Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to Company’s enforcement of Employee’s obligations under Sections 2 and 7 of this Agreement.

13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Singapore, notwithstanding any state’s choice-of-law rules to the contrary.

14. Successors and Assigns. Company shall have the right to assign this Agreement, and, accordingly, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and may be enforced by, any and all successors and assigns of Company, including without limitation by asset assignment, stock sale, merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization, and shall be binding on Employee. The services to be provided by Employee to Company are personal to Employee, and Employee shall not have the right to assign Employee’s duties under this Agreement.

15. Modification. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, or modified except by a written document signed by both Employee and a duly authorized officer of Company.

16. No Waiver. The failure of Company to insist in any one or more instances upon performance of any provision of this Agreement or to pursue its rights hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of any such provisions or the relinquishment of any such rights.

17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both of which when taken together will constitute one and the same agreement.

-8-

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including Recitals, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subjects specifically addressed herein, and supersedes any prior agreements, understandings, or representations, oral or written, on the subjects addressed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the employee has an existing non-competition, confidentiality, and/or non-solicitation agreement in favor of Company and has breached or violated the terms thereof, Company may continue to enforce its rights and remedies under and pursuant to such existing agreement.

19. Third Party Rights. Any person other than Company and Employee has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act, Chapter 53B of Singapore, to enforce any term of, or enjoy any benefit under, this Agreement

Employee’s signature below indicates that Employee has read the entire Agreement, understands what Employee is signing, and is signing the Agreement voluntarily. Employee agrees that Company advised Employee to consult with an attorney prior to signing the Agreement.
