Covenant to Maintain Confidentiality. a. During his employment with the Company,
Executive has been exposed to certain Confidential Information of the Company.
For purposes of this Agreement “Confidential Information” means information, in
any form, related to the Company’s business (i) that is not generally known or
available to others in the Company’s industry, (ii) in which the Company has an
interest, (iii) from which the Company derives value by virtue of – in whole or
in part – its confidentiality, and (iv) with respect to which the Company takes
reasonable measures to maintain as confidential. Such Confidential Information
includes but is not limited to: information technology and computer systems;
trade secrets; financial or investor relations information; sales activity
information; accounting information; revenue recognition information; cash-flow
information; lists of and other information about current and prospective
customers, vendors or suppliers; prices or pricing strategy or information;

supplier information or in performing services for clients, customers and
accounts of the Company; information concerning existing or contemplated
software, products, services, technology, designs, processes and research or
product developments of the Company; and, any other information of a similar
nature made available to Executive and not known to the public, which, if
misused or disclosed, could adversely affect the business or interests of the
Company. Confidential Information includes any such information that Executive
may have prepared or created during his employment with the Company, as well as
such information that has been or may be created or prepared by others.
Confidential Information shall not include any information that has been
voluntarily disclosed to the public by the Company, has been independently
developed and disclosed to the public by others without violating any legal
obligation, or otherwise enters the public domain through lawful means. b.
Subject to the limited exclusions and limitations set forth in this Agreement,
Executive agrees that for as long as such information remains confidential to
the Company, including after the Severance Period, or is a trade secret under
applicable law, Executive will not disclose any Confidential Information to any
person, agency, institution, company, or other entity, and Executive will not
use any Confidential Information in any way, except as required by my duties to
the Company or by law, or as permitted under Section 9 of this Agreement. In the
event that Executive is unsure whether or not certain information is
Confidential Information, Executive will send the Company a written inquiry
about whether such information is covered under this Agreement. Page 4 of 17

DocuSign Envelope ID: 84F27DBD-E575-4F17-95C5-79CEF31BE521 c. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement does not prohibit
Executive from complying with a lawful subpoena or other legal compulsion. If
Executive becomes legally compelled (by interrogatories, requests for
information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, applicable
regulations, or similar processes) to disclose any Confidential Information,
Executive shall, if permitted by applicable law, provide Company with prompt
notice so that Company may seek an appropriate protective order or other
appropriate remedy or waive Executive’s compliance with this Section 4, which
waiver must be in writing to be effective. If a protective order or other remedy
is not obtained by the Company by the date that Executive must comply with the
request, or if Company waives compliance with this Section 4 in writing,
Executive shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that
Executive is legally required to produce in the reasonable opinion of
Executive’s counsel (after consultation with Company’s counsel, if allowed by
law). The Parties agree that Executive’s obligations under this Section 4 are
expressly limited by the provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement. 5. Covenant
not to Compete. a. During the Severance Period, Executive agrees not to engage
in Competitive Work for or on behalf of a Competitor to conduct or support the
conduct of Competitive Business within the continental United States.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5 does not restrict Executive from
owning stock or other securities of a publicly held corporation in which
Executive does not possess beneficial ownership of more than 2% of the voting
stock of any enterprise (but without otherwise participating in the activities
of such enterprise) if such securities are listed on any national or regional
securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, whether or not such enterprise is a Competitor
(as defined below). b. For purposes of this Agreement, “Competitive Business”
means providing or soliciting to provide a product or service that competes with
a product or service provided, offered or planned to be offered by O&M at any
time during the last twelve (12) months of Executive’s employment with the
Company (the “Recent Period”). “Competitive Work” means the performance of
duties and/or provision of services (whether as an employee, independent
contractor or otherwise) that are substantially similar to duties and/or
services that Executive performed or provided for or on behalf of O&M at any
time during the Recent Period. “Competitor” means each entity listed on Exhibit
A attached hereto and any parent, subsidiary or affiliated entity of each of
them that is engaged in Competitive Business. c. Executive understands and
agrees, and the Company intends, that nothing in this Section 5 shall prevent
Executive from performing services or activities for or on behalf of a
Competitor that are not the same as or similar to the services and activities
Executive performed for an O&M Company. Further, the Parties agree that the
restrictions of this Section 5 shall not prevent Executive from seeking or
accepting employment, or performing services or activities, in Page 5 of 17

Covered Customer or a Covered Supplier (as defined below) that is not identified
as a Competitor in Exhibit A attached hereto. d. Prior to providing services or
activities to any person or business that Executive believes may be restricted
or prohibited by this Section 5, Executive may request the Company’s written
approval of the Executive’s provision of services or activities to such person
or business. 6. Non-Solicitation of Customers & Suppliers. a. During the
Severance Period, Executive agrees that he will not, personally or through
another, conduct or offer to conduct any Competitive Business with any Covered
Customer, or encourage or induce any Covered Customer or Covered Supplier to
cease doing business with the Company or change the terms of an existing
business relationship with the Company to the material detriment of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6 does not prohibit general
advertising or solicitation that is not specifically directed to a Covered
Customer(s) or Covered Supplier(s). b. For purposes of this Agreement, (i)
“Covered Customer” means any individual or entity with which O&M, at any time
during the Recent Period, has conducted, or made a written or in-person proposal
to conduct, business or to which the Company has provided or offered to provide
goods or services, and with whom or which Executive had Material Contact, (ii)
“Covered Supplier” means any manufacturer or supplier of medical or surgical
products or devices with which O&M, at any time during the Recent Period, has

(x) Executive personally communicated with a person or entity employed or
engaged by, or representing, a Covered Customer or Covered Supplier, either
orally or in writing, regarding an O&M company or the products or services of,
or provided to, an O&M company, or (y) Executive received Confidential
Information regarding a Covered Customer or Covered Supplier, in each instance,
at any time during the Recent Period. c. Nothing in this Section 6 is intended
to prohibit Executive’s employment by a Covered Customer or Covered Supplier
that is not identified in Exhibit A hereto, provided Executive, during the
Severance Period, does not personally or through another directly or indirectly
encourage or induce such employer to cease doing business with the Company or
change the terms of an existing business relationship with the Company to the
material detriment of the Company. 7. Non-Solicitation of Workers. During the
Severance Period, Executive agrees that he will not, personally or through
another, solicit for employment or hire a Covered Worker for employment or
engagement by any person or entity other than O&M or encourage a Covered Worker
to leave employment with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
restrictions contained in this Section 7 shall not apply to any individual that
has been separated from employment with the Company for six (6) months or more
as of the time of recruitment, solicitation or hiring by Executive. This Section
7 also does not prohibit general advertising or Page 6 of 17

this Agreement, “Covered Worker” means any person who at any time during the
Recent Period (i) was employed or engaged by the Company; and (ii) had
business-related contact with or reported to Executive. 8. Non-Disparagement. a.
Executive agrees that during the Severance Period he will refrain from printing
or communicating any comments to any person, audience, or assembly of persons,
including shareholders of O&M (but exclusive of his family members; personal
banking, financial, and tax professionals; and attorneys), or to the print or
broadcast media, or in any form of electronic, Internet, or social media
communications, that may reasonably be interpreted as disparaging of the
Releasees (as defined below). Similarly, O&M agrees that during the Severance
Period the Officers and Directors of OMI shall refrain from printing or
communicating any comments to any person, audience, or assembly of persons (but
exclusive of officers or directors of the Company or O&M’s banking, financial,
and tax professionals; and attorneys), or to the print or broadcast media, or in
any form of electronic, Internet, or social media communications, that may
reasonably be interpreted as disparaging of Executive. b. For purposes of this
Agreement, “disparaging” is defined to mean critical, derogatory, deprecating,
detracting, or pejorative, or harmful to or impugning the business,
professional, or personal reputation or integrity of another. Further, these
provisions are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the substantive protections
under applicable law relating to defamation, libel, slander, interference with
contractual or business relationships, or other statutory, contractual or tort
theories. c. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive and O&M understand and
agree that their obligations under this Section 8 are expressly limited by the
provisions of Section 9 of this Agreement. Further, nothing herein shall be
construed to require Executive or O&M or any other person to engage in any
unlawful act. 9. Limitations on Obligations. Nothing in this Agreement shall
prohibit or impede Executive from communicating, cooperating or filing a
complaint with any U.S. federal, state or local governmental or law enforcement
branch, agency or entity (each, a “Governmental Entity”) with respect to
possible violations of any U.S. federal, state or local law or regulation, or
otherwise making disclosures to any Governmental Entity, in each case, that are
protected under the whistleblower provisions of any such law or regulation,
provided that in each case such communications and disclosures are consistent
with applicable law. Executive does not need the prior authorization of (or to
give notice to) the Company regarding any such communication or disclosure. This
Agreement also does not limit Executive’s right to receive an award for
information provided to any federal, state or local government agency or
self-regulatory organization, or to engage in any future activities protected
under whistleblower statutes. Additionally, Executive hereby confirms that she
or he understands and acknowledges that an Page 7 of 17

DocuSign Envelope ID: 84F27DBD-E575-4F17-95C5-79CEF31BE521 individual shall not
be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law
for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal,
state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of
reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or in a complaint or
other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made
under seal. Executive understands and acknowledges further that an individual
who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected
violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual
and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual
files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and does not disclose
the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
under no circumstance will Executive be authorized to disclose any information
covered by the Company’s attorney-client privilege or the Company’s attorney
work product without prior written consent of the Company’s General Counsel or
other officer designated by the Company, or unless such disclosure of that
information would otherwise be permitted pursuant to 17 CFR 205.3(d)(2),
applicable state attorney conduct rules, or otherwise under applicable law or
court order. 10. Reasonableness & Remedies. a. The covenants contained in
Sections 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 of this Agreement (the “Protective Covenants”) are, in
light of the nature of Executive’s employment by the Company, reasonable and
necessary for the protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests,
specifically including the Company’s interest in the Confidential Information
and the Company’s significant investment to develop and maintain its business
relationships and goodwill. b. The Company will suffer irreparable harm if
Executive breaches any provision of the Protective Covenants, and the Company
shall be entitled to, in addition to any other available remedies, temporary
and/or permanent injunctive relief against Executive barring any conduct in
violation of any provision of the Protective Covenants. Additionally, the
duration of the restrictions in the Protective Covenants shall be extended by
the length of time Executive is in breach of any such restriction. No claim or
cause of action Executive may have or assert against the Company, whether
predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall serve as or constitute a
defense to the enforcement of any provision of the Protective Covenants. c. A
Party wishing to file a suit or action against the other for a material breach
of this Agreement, including the provisions of the Protective Covenants
(“Claimant Party”), shall not file such suit or action before the expiration of
thirty (30) days next following the delivery by the Claimant Party to the other
of written notice of the alleged material breach (“Waiting Period”). Such
written notice by the Claimant Party to the other party shall include, in
reasonable detail and to the best of the Claimant Party’s knowledge and belief,
the factual bases for the claim of alleged material breach of the provisions of
this Agreement (the “Notice of Claims”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Waiting Period shall not apply to the Company’s pursuit of temporary injunctive
or similar equitable relief for alleged violation of the Protective Covenants

by a Claimant Party for a material breach of this Agreement, including the
provisions of the Protective Covenants of this Agreement, or for any remedies
associated with such material breach, including injunctive relief or any other
legal or equitable remedy, shall be filed, allowed, or granted in any court of
law or equity unless such suit or action is commenced within one (1) year
following the date that the Claimant Party knew of such material breach. e. The
Parties agree that in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
including any claims or counterclaims brought by either Party to enforce its
terms, the Party that substantially prevails in such action shall be entitled to
recover the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such Party in
connection with such action. 11. General Release. a. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Releasee” and “Releasees” means the Company and any and all O&M
boards, past and present directors, trustees, officers, shareholders, members,
partners, managers, supervisors, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives,
insurers and consultants, as well as the predecessors, successors and assigns of
any of them, and all persons or entities acting by, with, through, under or in

charge or participating in an EEOC investigation. b. Subject to the limited
exclusions and limitations set forth below and in Section 9 of this Agreement,
Executive hereby irrevocably releases and forever discharges all Releasees from
any and all Claims that Executive, or anyone on his behalf ever had or now has

Protective Covenants, are expressly intended to be severable and separately
enforceable. If any clause or provision of this Agreement is ruled invalid or
limited by any regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction, the
invalidity of such clause or provision shall not affect the validity of the
other provisions, which provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent
permitted by law. b. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that any provision of the Protective Covenants is invalid or
unenforceable under applicable law by reason of its geographic, temporal or
other scope, or the extent of restriction imposed on Executive’s activity, the
court making such determination shall reduce the applicable scope and/or the
extent of restriction by such amount as is minimally necessary to render such
provision, as so amended, valid and enforceable under applicable law.
