Non-competition. During the terms of this Agreement, Employee will devote full time and energy to furthering Ceridian’s business and will not pursue any other business activity without Ceridian’s written consent. Unless the obligation is waived or limited by Ceridian in accordance this [Section 7.02], Employee agrees that during his or her employment and for a period of time, as defined in [Section 8.15], (“Restrictive Period”) following termination of employment with Ceridian for any reason, Employee will not directly or indirectly, alone or as a partner, officer, director, shareholder or an employee, engage in any commercial activity on behalf of the following specified competitors of Ceridian (and/ or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries), having acknowledged that all such entities provide products or services or are otherwise engaged in a competitive business with the business carried out by Ceridian: Workday, Inc., Automatic Data Processing, Inc/ADP, LLC., Ultimate Software Group, Inc., Kronos Incorporated, Paycom Software Inc., SAP SE, Oracle Corporation and Paylocity Corporation, in competition with Ceridian’s business as conducted as of the date of such termination of employment, in North America. For purposes of this subsection, “shareholder” shall not include beneficial ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the combined voting power of all issued and outstanding voting securities of a publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on a major stock exchange. For the avoidance of doubt “Ceridian’s business” as used herein shall include business conducted by any Ceridian Affiliate and any partnership or joint venture in which Ceridian or its Affiliates is a partner or join venture, including in particular the provision of human capital management software and services. Ceridian acknowledges that some of the entities listed in this [section 7.02] as competitors may also have now (or in the future) separate lines of business, parts of their business, or specific jobs that are wholly unrelated to Ceridian’s business and do not compete in any meaningful way with Ceridian. It is not Ceridian’s intention for the restriction contained in this [section 7.02] to include such unrelated lines of business, parts of businesses or jobs within the entities listed in this section.

In consideration for the consideration set forth in the Employment Agreement and the payment of severance benefits set forth in [Section 7] of the Employment Agreement, Executive further covenants and agrees that during the Term of Employment and during the one (1) year period immediately following the Termination Date (the "Non-Competitive Period"), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, as owner, partner, joint venturer, stockholder, employee, broker, agent, principal, trustee, corporate officer, director, licensor, or in any capacity whatsoever, engage in, become financially interested in, be employed by, render any consultation or business advice with respect to, accept any competitive business on behalf of, or have any connection with any business which is competitive with products or services of the Company or any subsidiaries and affiliates, in any geographic area in which the Executive provided services or had a material presence or influence on behalf of the Company, whether in the United States, Canada, Europe or elsewhere during the two years prior to Executive’s separation from the Company; provided, however, that Executive may own any securities of any corporation which is engaged in such business and is publicly owned and traded but in an amount not to exceed at any one time one percent (1%) of any class of stock or securities of such corporation. In addition, Executive shall not, during the Non-Competitive Period, directly or indirectly: # request or cause any suppliers or customers with whom the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates has a business relationship to cancel or terminate any such business relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or otherwise compromise the Company’s good will; or # solicit, hire, interfere with or entice from the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates any employee (or former employee who has been separated from service for less than 12 months) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

Non-Competition. During the Employment Term and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), Employee shall not, within the Restricted Territory directly or indirectly, # own (in whole or in part), invest in, lend to or finance, or # provide any services to, whether as director, officer, manager, employee, agent, contractor, consultant, joint-venturer or otherwise, any natural person or entity that sells or offers for sale any products or services that are the same as or substantially similar to products or services sold or offered for sale by the Company. As used in this Agreement, the “Restricted Territory” shall mean the United States of America. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this [Section 9(a)] shall not prevent Employee from owning five percent (5%) or less of the equity securities of any entity whose equity securities are listed on an internationally-recognized stock exchange, provided that Employee does not, directly or indirectly, participate in the management of such entity or provide any services to such entity.

Non-Competition. From and after the Company Separation Date, [Section 10] of the 2008 Agreement will cease to apply, and will be superseded by the non-competition covenant set forth in the Newco Agreement. All payments and benefits under this Amendment are conditioned upon Employee’s continued compliance with [Section 10], and other applicable provisions, of the 2008 Agreement though the Company Separation Date.

Non-Competition. The Employee agrees that for a period of one year following the Effective Date, that he will not enter into an employment or contractual relationship, either directly or indirectly, to provide services to any competitor of the Company, except upon prior written approval from the Company's Senior Vice President, Human Resources. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee may serve as a director or trustee of any entity during the one-year period, unless and until the Company's Board of Directors in good faith determines and communicates to Employee in writing that Employee's directorship or trusteeship places the Company at a significant competitive disadvantage.

In consideration for your employment with the Company, the financial and other benefits you received from that employment, and/or access to Confidential Information and/or Trade Secrets, as defined in this Agreement, you agree that during employment with the Company, and for a period of one (1) year following your departure from the Company, you will not (directly or indirectly, in association with others or otherwise) engage in any activity for a competitive Business (as defined below) in which # the use, disclosure, or misappropriation of the Confidential Information and/or Trade Secrets you had access to or obtained during your employment with the Company may provide the competitive Business with a competitive advantage against the Company, and/or otherwise cause harm to the Company; or # you would be in a position to solicit or otherwise contact, on behalf of the competitive Business, any current or prospective Company customers and clients with whom you had personal contact or about whom you learned Confidential Information and/or Trade Secrets. The foregoing includes, without limitation, engagement as an officer, director, proprietor, employee, partner, manager, member, investor (other than as a holder of less than 2% of the outstanding capital stock of a publicly traded corporation), guarantor, consultant, advisor, agent, sales representative or other participant within any State in which the Company does business. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “State” as used in this agreement shall be interpreted to include any legal territory of the United States where the Company does business, including, by way of example, the District of Columbia. Further, for purposes of these Standard Terms and Conditions, the term “Business” means the transportation of goods in interstate commerce and related services in or through or for any State in which the Company or any of its affiliates provides such services directly or indirectly and any other activity that supports such operations including by the way of example but not limitation, marketing, information systems, logistics, technology development or implementation, terminal services and any other activity of the Company or any of its affiliates related to providing such services. This [Section 5(G)] is not intended to prevent you from engaging in any activity that is not substantially the same as or competitive with the Company’s Business.

Such Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, information in whatever form (including, without limitation, in written, oral, visual or electronic form or on any magnetic or optical disk or memory storage medium, as well as other physical items wherever located, and abstracts or summaries of the foregoing) relating to the business, suppliers, customers, products, affairs and finances of the Corporation or any Affiliate for the time being confidential to the Corporation or any Affiliate, ideas, conceptions, compilations of data, and developments created by the Corporation, whether or not patentable and whether or not copyrightable, and trade secrets including, without limitation, technical data and know-how relating to the business of the Corporation or any Affiliate, or any of their suppliers, customers, agents, distributors, shareholders or management, including (but not limited to) business plans, pricing strategies, financial information, patent rights, patent applications, information concerning tenders and potential contracts, information concerning proposed product ranges, product development information, employee and salary information, research and development activities or manufacturing methods that the Participant creates, develops, receives, obtains or has knowledge of in connection with the Participant’s employment, and all other matters which relate to the business of the Corporation or any Affiliate and in respect of which information is not readily available in the ordinary course of such business to the Corporation's Competitors, whether or not such information (if in anything other than oral form) is marked confidential. “Competitor,” for purposes of this [Section 19], means a person or entity who engages in a business that is the same or substantially the same as any aspect of the Business of the Corporation. “Business of the Corporation,” for purposes of this [Section 19], is the development, production, sales and/or marketing of # health and hygiene products and related apparel; # washroom and workplace protective and safety products; # any product for which the Participant had development, marketing, innovation/technology (R&D), distribution, sales, administrative, operational/supply chain, manufacturing oversight, or other responsibilities or was provided with regular and material access to Confidential Information; and # the materials, packaging and other components/subcomponents of such products including, without limitation, non-wood plants and products derived therefrom including any fibers, pulps or extracts.
