NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
This NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (the “Non-Competition Agreement”) is made as of
March __, 2016 and shall become effective as of the closing (the "Closing Date")
of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement among Carefree
Communities Intermediate Holdings LLC (“Parent”), Sun Communities, Inc. (“SUI”)
and Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership, of even date herewith (the
“Stock Purchase Agreement”). This Non-Competition Agreement shall become null
and void and have no effect, and any and all rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder shall automatically terminate, if the closing of the
transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement shall fail to occur
for any reason. As a condition of the Stock Purchase Agreement, I agree to the
terms and conditions of this Non-Competition Agreement (the “Non-Competition
Agreement”):
Section 1.Restrictions on Competing.
During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is
nine months after the Closing Date but not later than March 9, 2017 (the
"Restricted Period"), I shall not, without the prior written consent of SUI,
directly or indirectly, do either of the following:
(a)own, manage, operate, join, control, be employed by, or participate in the
ownership, management, operation or control of, including, without limitation,
holding any position as a stockholder, director, officer, consultant,
independent contractor, employee, partner, member, investor or lender in, any
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust, firm or
other enterprise engaged in the business of developing, owning, operating,
leasing, managing, financing or selling manufactured home communities,
recreational vehicle resorts and/or manufactured homes located or intended to be
located within manufactured home communities (collectively, the “Business”),
anywhere within the United States of America or Canada; provided, however, that
I may invest in any publicly-held corporation engaged in the Business if my
aggregate investment does not exceed five percent (5%) in value of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of such entity; or
(b)actively solicit, induce or attempt to induce any employee then working for
SUI or its subsidiaries or any independent contractor then working primarily for
SUI or its subsidiaries to (A) leave the employment of or terminate his, her or
its contractual relationship with SUI or its subsidiaries, or (B) enter into the
employment or a contractual relationship with me or any affiliate of mine. For
the avoidance of doubt, making general advertisements for employees in
newspapers, periodicals or other media of general circulation shall not be
deemed to be active solicitation and is not prohibited hereunder.
Section 2.Additional Consideration. As additional consideration for my execution
of this Non-Competition Agreement, SUI shall pay me an aggregate of $187,500 at
Closing.
Section 3.Confidentiality.
I acknowledge and agree that, during the Restricted Period, I shall treat all
Confidential Information (as defined below) in a confidential manner, not
communicate or disclose, orally or in writing, any Confidential Information to
any person, either directly or indirectly, under any circumstances without the
prior written consent of SUI. I further agree that I will promptly return (or
destroy if it cannot be returned) to SUI all written or other tangible evidence
of any Confidential Information and any memoranda with respect thereto which are
in my possession or under my control upon SUI’s request for the return of such
items. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information”
shall mean any and all confidential or proprietary information concerning any
aspect of the business or affairs of Carefree Communities, Inc. (the “Company”)
or its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, all confidential or
proprietary financial information and all information relating to products,
services, trade

secrets, ideas and concepts (in definitive form), inventions, business plans,
intellectual property, software, product samples, product specifications,
customers, process information, formulas, test results, drawings, projections
and forecasts. Confidential Information does not include information that (i)
was, or becomes, generally available to the public through no act or omission of
mine; (ii) was, or becomes, generally known within the relevant trade or
business; (iii) was acquired by me from a third party source other than the
Company or any of its employees, advisors or shareholders, which source legally
acquired such information under no obligation of confidentiality; (iv) was known
to me prior to my employment with the Company or independently acquired by me
without breach of this Agreement; or (v) is required to be disclosed by me by
law or court order.
Section 4.Reasonableness of Restrictions.
I acknowledge and recognize the highly competitive nature of the Company’s
business, that my experience with manufactured home communities and recreational
vehicle resorts renders me special and unique within the Company’s industry, and
that I have developed substantial relationships with existing and prospective
manufactured home community and recreational vehicle community property owners,
accounts, customers, consultants, contractors, investors, and strategic partners
of the Company (and its parent and, direct and indirect subsidiaries) during the
course of my career. I further acknowledge and recognize that my execution of
and compliance with the terms of this Non-Competition Agreement were a material
inducement to the parties entering into the Stock Purchase Agreement and that I
received substantial consideration in connection with the transactions
contemplated thereby. In light of the foregoing, I recognize and acknowledge
that the restrictions and limitations set forth in this Non-Competition
Agreement are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all
other respects and are essential to protect the value of the business and assets
of the Company (and its parent and, direct and indirect subsidiaries).
Section 5.Independence; Severability; Blue Pencil.
Each of the rights enumerated in this Non-Competition Agreement shall be
independent of the others and shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any
other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or in equity. If any
of the provisions of this agreement or any part of any of them is hereafter
construed or adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not
affect the remainder of this Non-Competition Agreement, which shall be given
full effect without regard to the invalid portions. If any of the covenants
contained herein are held to be invalid or unenforceable because of the duration
of such provisions or the area or scope covered thereby, I agree that the court
making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration, scope,
and/or area of such provision to the maximum and/or broadest duration, scope,
and/or area permissible by law, and in its reduced form said provision shall
then be enforceable.
Section 6.Injunctive Relief.
I expressly acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of any of the terms
and/or conditions set forth in this Non-Competition Agreement may result in
substantial, continuing, and irreparable injury to the Company (and its parent
and, direct and indirect subsidiaries). Therefore, I hereby agree that, in
addition to any other remedy that may be available to the Company, the Company
shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance, or other
equitable relief by a court of appropriate jurisdiction in the event of any
breach or threatened breach of the terms of this Non-Competition Agreement
without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such
breach or threatened breach. Notwithstanding any other provision to the
contrary, I acknowledge and agree that the Restricted Period shall be tolled
during any period of violation of any of the covenants in paragraph 1 hereof and
during any other period required for litigation during which the Company seeks
to enforce such covenants against me if it is ultimately determined that I was
in breach of such covenants.
