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.

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.

Non-competition. The Employee agrees that while employed by the Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Employee will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, anywhere in Canada, the United States or any country within the European Union, directly or indirectly, advise, manage, carry on, be engaged in, own or lend money to, or permit the Employee’s name or any part thereof to be used or employed by any person managing, carrying on or engaged in a business which is in direct competition with the Business of the Company where the Employee would be providing professional services which relate to therapeutic antibody modeling, design, modification and commercialization for industrial and pharmaceutical applications.

Non-Competition. During the Protective Covenant Period, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, as an employee, independent contractor, consultant, officer, director, principal, lender or investor engage or otherwise participate in any activities with, or provide services to, a Competitive Business, without the prior written consent of the Senior Vice President, Human Resources or other designated executive officer of the Corporation (which consent shall be at such officer’s discretion to give or withhold). Nothing in this [Section 5(c)] shall preclude the Employee from owning up to 1% of the equity in any publicly traded company.

Non-Competition. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company, will not, during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of the termination of this Agreement (the "Restricted Period"), directly or indirectly, render services to or engage in a Competitive Business (as defined below), whether individually or as a director, stockholder, other owner, investor, member, partner, principal, proprietor, agent, consultant, officer, employee or otherwise, whether or not for compensation. For purposes of this Agreement, "Competitive Business" means any depository institution or holding company thereof or any other firm, corporation or other entity that engages, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the United States, in any activity in which the Company and its affiliates engage, including without limitation, commercial banking, retail banking, savings banking, commercial and consumer lending, trust and investment advisory services, or any similar lending, banking or advisory services. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall not be a violation of this [Section 5(a)] for to serve as a principal, partner, director, employee, consultant or advisor to a private equity firm or hedge fund, provided that such activities do not involve advising such firm or fund with respect to, or analyzing investments in, the Company or its affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, may, directly or indirectly, own, solely as an investment, securities of any person engaged in a Competitive Business that are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market if # is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such person and # does not, directly or indirectly, own 9.9% or more of any class of securities of such person.

Non-Competition. Subject to [Section 19(h)], during the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate, it is acknowledged that the Participant will acquire Confidential Information, and should the Participant’s employment cease, it may be difficult to police [Section 19(e)] below, prohibiting the disclosure of such Confidential Information. It is further acknowledged that it may be difficult to police the non-solicitation and dealing sub-sections set out below. For these reasons, during the term of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or any Affiliate and for the applicable period listed in [Appendix B] of this Award Agreement following the termination of employment, regardless of the reason for or the manner of termination, the Participant shall not, without the written consent of the General Counsel of the Corporation or their designee, in any country or countries for which the Participant had development, marketing, innovation/technology (R&D), distribution, sales, administrative, operational/supply chain, manufacturing oversight, or other responsibilities during the last two (2) years of the Participant’s employment or was provided with regular and material access to Confidential Information regarding the Corporation’s or an Affiliate's business operations in that country or countries during the last two (2) years of the Participant’s employment, either directly or indirectly, perform duties or undertake responsibilities (including without limitation as an employee, employer, owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, contractor, agent, partner, director, stockholder, officer, volunteer, intern, or any other similar capacity) for a Competitor (as defined below) that are the same or substantially similar to those duties or responsibilities that the Participant performed or undertook for the Corporation or an Affiliate during the two (2) year period prior to the end of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or an Affiliate. “Confidential Information,” for purposes of this [Section 19], shall mean # statutory trade secrets; # proprietary information developed or acquired by the Corporation that does not rise to the level of a statutorily protectable trade secret and is made the property of the Corporation through this mutual Agreement of the parties; and # information that is otherwise legally protectable. 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.

Non-Competition. If Employee commences any form of employment or partnership (including as an advisor, consultant or otherwise) with any business that is in competition with the business of Employer, he shall immediately forfeit his right to all future severance payments and benefits otherwise required by Paragraph 2.
