As used herein, “Competitor” 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. As used herein, “Business of the Corporation” is the development, production, sales and/or marketing of # health and hygiene products; # washroom and workplace protective and safety products; and # the materials, packaging and other components/subcomponents of such products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s residence or principal place of employment on the Grant Date is in California or in any other jurisdiction where any provision of this [Section 16(a)] prohibiting post-employment non-compete covenant is restricted by applicable law, then the provisions of this [Section 16(a)] will not apply to the extent any such provision is prohibited by applicable law.

For U.S. Participants only: I acknowledge that the grant of an Award is expressly conditioned on the non-competition provisions set forth in [Section 19].

Non-Competition. Abmuno shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates (if any) shall not, initiate, or be involved in, any new anti-TIGIT discovery, Development or Commercialization project for a period of ​ years following the Effective Date. In addition, Abmuno shall cause each of ​, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause JN Biosciences, ​ to enter into an agreement with Arcus in such form as has been approved by Arcus, either concurrently with or prior to the Parties’ execution of this Agreement, under which, in accordance with the terms of such agreements, ​.

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. So long as you are employed by the Company under this Agreement and for the nine (9)-month period following the termination of your employment with the Company for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, engage in Competition with the Group. “Competition” means participating, directly or indirectly, as an individual proprietor, partner, stockholder, officer, employee, director, joint venturer, investor, lender, consultant or in any other capacity whatsoever in any business or in the development of any business if # such business competes or would compete with the business of the Group (it being understood that the business of the Group is the development and commercialization of its proprietary tumor treating fields (TTF) therapy for the treatment of solid tumor cancers (the “Business”)) and # your activities related to such business would create the opportunity for you to use confidential and proprietary information of the Group in connection with any other product being developed, manufactured, supplied or sold by any such business or business under development that competes with or upon introduction of a product would compete with the Business. For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example, the foregoing restrictions would not preclude you from being employed by a pharmaceutical company during the Restricted Period to the extent that your activities at such pharmaceutical company would not be directly related to the development, marketing or sale of products that are directly competitive with the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this [Section 7(a)] shall prohibit you from # investing, as a passive investor, in any publicly held company provided that your beneficial ownership of any class of such publicly held company’s securities does not exceed one percent (1%) of the outstanding securities of such class, or # with the consent of the Board, entering the employ of any academic institution or governmental or regulatory instrumentality of any country or any domestic or foreign state, county, city or political subdivision.

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. In consideration of the Indemnitee’s nomination and election as a director and/or officer by the Company, Indemnitee agrees that, while acting as a director and/ or officer of the Company, he/she shall not provide services as a director or otherwise for any competitor of the Company, or engage, whether as a principal, partner or otherwise, in any business which is in direct or indirect competition with the business of the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this clause shall preclude Indemnitee from owning, directly or indirectly, solely as a passive investment, any shares or securities of any company, any part of which is listed or dealt in on any stock exchange or recognized securities market anywhere, and as long as such holdings or interests comport with the Company’s policy regarding conflicts of interest. Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of his/her interest in such shares or securities in a timely manner and with such details and particulars as the Company may reasonably require.

Non-Competition. In consideration for the amounts payable to Employee under this Agreement, Employee reaffirms his restrictive covenants obligations under the Outstanding Awards and any other agreement containing similar restrictive covenants and further agrees that the period during which he may not engage in any Business Activities in a Prohibited Capacity (each as defined in the Outstanding Awards) or similar competitive activity (as described under any other agreement) shall be extended (but not shortened, if longer) to be the three-year period following the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be treated as engaging in Business Activities in a Prohibited Capacity by virtue of Employee commencing employment with, or providing services to, a private equity, financial investor, or advisor that owns, invests in, operates, or advises a business that engages in any Business Activities that, if engaged in by Employee, would be treated as Employee engaging in Business Activities in a Prohibited Capacity, so long as Employee does not perform services, directly or indirectly, for the entity that is engaged in such Business Activities and that Employee does not reveal any confidential information of the Company, in any capacity whatsoever, to such private equity, financial investor, or advisor, its respective Subsidiaries, including any business owned, invested in, operated or advised by the foregoing, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors or other service providers.
