Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation. In recognition and consideration of his receipt of the Resignation Payment, and his eligibility for additional benefits hereunder, Employee hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

Non-solicitation, Non-competition and Compliance with Agreements. During the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate, and for the one-year period following the Grantee’s Termination of Employment (the “Restriction Period”), the Grantee will not, without prior written approval from the Committee (for Grantees who are officers of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Act) or the Senior Human Resources Manager of the Grantee’s Company business segment (for all other Grantees): # whether on his or her own behalf or in conjunction with any other person or third party, directly or indirectly solicit or encourage any person who is a Lead Professional Band or higher employee of the Company or any Affiliate (a “Restricted Person”) to terminate his or her employment relationship with, or accept any other employment outside of, the Company and the Affiliates; # directly hire, or recommend or cause to be hired by an entity for which the Grantee works, or with which the Grantee is otherwise associated or owns more than a 1% ownership interest, any person who is, or was within one year before or after the Grantee’s Termination of Employment, a Restricted Person (this restriction does not apply where legally impermissible, such as California); or # provide any non-public information regarding any Restricted Person, including, but not limited to, compensation data, performance evaluations, skill sets or qualifications, etc., to any external person in connection with employment outside the Company and the Affiliates, including, but not limited to, recruiters and prospective employers. The above restrictions do not apply once a Restricted Person has been formally notified of his or her impending layoff from the Company or any Affiliate.

In addition, the Grantee agrees that during the Restriction Period, the Grantee will not, without prior written approval from the Committee (for Grantees who are officers of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Act) or the Senior Human Resources Manager of the Grantee’s Company business segment (for all other Grantees), whether directly or indirectly, perform activities or services in the Restricted Area for any Competitive Company which: # are similar in nature to the activities and services the Grantee performed for the Company or any Affiliate (or gained confidential information about, as described in the Employee Innovation and Proprietary Information Agreement or “EIPIA”) during the last two years of Grantee’s employment; and/or # will include Grantee working on products or services that are competitive with the products or services the Grantee worked on during the last two years of Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate. The term “Competitive Company” means any company or other third party that provides products and services that are competitive with the Company or any Affiliate. The term “Restricted Area” means the country in which the Grantee is based. Grantee agrees that the foregoing Restriction Period and Restricted Area are reasonable and appropriate to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests and goodwill because # the Company or any Affiliate has material business operations in the Restricted Area as of the Grantee’s Termination of Employment and # the Grantee has provided services in, had a material presence or influence in, and/or has received confidential information about (as described in the EIPIA) the Restricted Area during the last two years of the Grantee’s employment with the Company or any Affiliate. The foregoing restrictions do not apply where legally impermissible (such as California). To the extent the Grantee is subject to an existing non-competition agreement with the Company or any Affiliate (the “Prior Agreement”), the Prior Agreement shall be incorporated herein by reference and the Prior Agreement and this Grant Agreement shall be read together; provided, however, that where the provisions are inconsistent, the more restrictive covenant shall apply.
