or organization, encourage, entice, solicit or otherwise induce any current

recondition, or overhaul of natural gas compression equipment; the sale of parts
and components for natural gas compression equipment; or any other business
which Archrock may be engaged in at the time of your separation from employment
or service with Archrock. With respect to the enforcement of this Agreement in
Louisiana this paragraph shall be enforceable only in the Restricted Area as
defined below.

d.    In connection with your acceptance of the Award under the Plan, and in
exchange for the consideration provided hereunder, including, without
limitation, the Award and the Confidential Information, you agree that you will
not, during your service as an Employee or other service provider of Archrock,
and for eighteen (18) months thereafter, directly or indirectly, for your own
account or on behalf of or together with any other person, entity or
organization: (i) divert or attempt to divert the business of a Covered Customer
to a Competitive Business in the Restricted Area, or (ii) perform services for a

restrictions of this Section are necessary and reasonable for the protection of
the legitimate business interests and goodwill of Archrock, including Archrock’s
trade secrets; and (iv) the consideration given by Archrock under this Section,
including without limitation, the Award and the Confidential Information, gives
rise to Archrock’s interests in the covenants set forth in this Section.

f.    You and Archrock agree that it was both parties’ intention to enter into a
valid and enforceable agreement. You agree that if any covenant contained in
this Section is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to contain
limitations as to time, geographic area, or scope of activity that are not
reasonable and impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the
goodwill, trade secrets, or other business interests of Archrock, then the court
shall reform the covenant to the extent necessary to cause the limitations
contained in the covenant as to time, geographic area, and scope

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of activity to be restrained to be reasonable and to impose a restraint that is
not greater than necessary to protect the goodwill, trade secrets, and other
business interests of Archrock.

g.    In the event that Archrock determines that you have breached or attempted
or threatened to breach any term of this Section, in addition to any other
remedies at law or in equity Archrock may have available to it, it is agreed
that Archrock shall be entitled, upon application to any court of proper
jurisdiction, to a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction
(without necessity of (i) proving irreparable harm, (ii) establishing that
monetary damages are inadequate, or (iii) posting any bond with respect thereto,
where permitted by law) against you prohibiting such breach or attempted or
threatened breach by proving only the existence of such breach or attempted or
threatened breach. You agree that, where permitted by law, the period during
which the covenants contained in this Section are in effect shall be computed by
excluding from such computation any time during which you are in violation of
any provision of this Section.

h.    You hereby acknowledge that the Award being granted to you under the Plan
is an extraordinary item of compensation and is not part of, nor in lieu of,
your ordinary wages for services you may render to Archrock.

i.    You understand that this agreement is independent of and does not affect
the enforceability of any other restrictive covenants by which you have agreed
to be bound in any other agreement with Archrock.

j.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Award, the provisions of this
Section shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of
the State of Texas, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles
thereof. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of this
Section shall be brought only in the courts of Harris County, Texas, or, if it
has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Texas, Houston, Division, and the parties consent to the
jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding and waive any
objection to jurisdiction and venue laid therein. However, only with respect to
the enforcement of this Agreement in Louisiana, Louisiana law shall control and
venue shall be in a parish with appropriate jurisdiction in Louisiana.
