other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  Should the Employee file a lawsuit against MiX Telematics for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Employee may disclose the trade secret to the Employee’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the Employee: (A) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
e.    Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.  The Employee acknowledges that MiX Telematics has a legitimate business interest in protecting the Confidential Information and the Third Party Information, its customer and vendor relationships, its training of employees, its business goodwill, reputation and other lawful interests, and that the restrictive covenants regarding competition and non-solicitation contained herein are reasonably necessary to protect these interests.  In consideration for the access granted to Confidential Information and Third Party Information and other consideration provided for in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Employee agrees that, both during the Employment Period and for a period of twenty four (24) months following the termination of the Employee’s employment pursuant to this Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly (in any capacity, on the Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity), anywhere in the geographical area in which the Employee performed the Services, which includes the United States of America:
i.    have any ownership interest in, performs any work for or provide the same or similar services the Employee provided to the MiX Group (whether as an individual, employee, independent contractor, owner, proprietor, principal, partner, shareholder, joint venturer, member, trustee, officer, director, consultant, broker, agent, or in any other manner whatsoever) to any person or entity that is a Competitive Business to the MiX Group (except for an ownership interest not exceeding five percent (5%) of a publicly-traded entity).  “Competitive Business” shall mean any business that sells or provides the same, or substantially similar, products and/or services as the MiX Group (including but not limited to Telematics Solutions). 


ii.    Solicit, recruit, induce, hire or engage any employee, contractor, licensee, vendor, dealer or value-added reseller of the MiX Group to enter into an employment or business relationship with any other person or entity that is a Competitive Business or recruit, solicit or otherwise induce any employee, contractor, licensee, vendor, dealer or value-added reseller of the MiX Group to terminate his/her employment, engagement or business relationship with the MiX Group.  This covenant applies to any employee, contractor, licensee, vendor, dealer or value-added reseller who, at the time of the recruitment/hire, is currently employed or engaged with the MiX Group or its affiliates or who was employed or engaged with the MiX Group at any time during the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of the attempted employment, recruitment, inducement, engagement or solicitation.  


f.    Reasonableness of Restrictive Covenants.  The Employee acknowledges that each of the provisions of this Section 6 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the MiX Group and its present and potential business activities and the economic benefits derived therefrom, Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, trade secrets, and Third Party Information, and that the restrictions will not prevent the Employee from earning a livelihood in the Employee’s chosen profession, that they do not impose an undue hardship on the Employee, and that they will not injure the public.  


g.    Enforcement. The Employee expressly agrees and understands that the remedy at law for any breach by the Employee of this Section 6 will be inadequate and that damages flowing from such breach are not usually susceptible to being measured in monetary terms.  Accordingly, it is acknowledged that upon the Employee’s violation of any provision of 
6 of 14

MiX Telematics        Employee
52402749;2






this Section 6, MiX Telematics shall be entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction (including without limitation in Palm Beach County, Florida) immediate injunctive relief and obtain a temporary order and/or injunction restraining any threatened or further breach as well as an equitable accounting of all profits or benefits arising out of such violation.  Nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed to limit MiX Telematics’ remedies at law or in equity for any breach by the Employee of any of the provisions of this Section 6, which may be pursued by MiX Telematics. The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Employee against MiX Telematics, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by MiX Telematics of the restrictive covenants set forth herein but shall be claimed and litigated separately.  In the event MiX Telematics applies to seal any papers produced or filed in any judicial proceedings between the Parties to preserve confidentiality, the Employee hereby specifically agrees not to oppose such application and to use his best efforts to join such application.


h.    Assignment.  The Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 6 shall be assignable by MiX Telematics to a successor in interest of MiX Telematics and the Employee hereby expressly consents to such assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Employee’s heirs, executors, administrators and/or other legal representatives or assigns. The Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 6 are intended not only for MiX Telematics’ benefit, but also the benefit of the MiX Group and any of its or their past, present, or future parent corporations, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, trustees, administrators, insurers, attorneys, employees, members of committees, employee benefit and/or pension plans or funds (including qualified and non-qualified plans or funds), successors and/or assigns, and that in addition to the rights of MiX Telematics hereunder, each shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Section 6. 


i.    Toll Period. In the event the Employee violates any provision of this Section 6 as to which there is a specific time period during which the Employee is prohibited from taking certain actions or from engaging in certain activities, as set forth in such provision, then, such violation shall toll the running of such time period from the date of such violation until such violation shall cease.  As such, if the Employee violates any restriction stated in this Section 6, such restriction shall remain in full force and effect beyond the expiration of the Restricted Period, such that MiX Telematics receives the full benefit of its bargain.


j.    Notice to New Employer/Consulting Party.  The Employee agrees that prior to the commencement of any employment or consulting relationship with any person or entity, the Employee will advise the person or entity of the restrictive covenant terms contained in this Agreement.  The Employee also agrees that MiX Telematics may advise any of the Employee’s new or prospective employers or consulting parties of the existence and terms of this Agreement and may furnish said employer or consulting party with a copy of the relevant provisions of this Agreement.  


k.    Survival.  The Employee agrees that this Section 6 and its subparts survive termination of this Agreement; survive termination of the Employment Period; and survive termination of the Employee’s business relationship with MiX Telematics.


l.    Blue Pencil.  If any portion of this Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy for any reason, that restrictive covenant shall be considered divisible as to line or scope of business, time, or geographic area and shall be modified by the court as to any of the foregoing in such a fashion as to be enforceable. The remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

14.    Severability; Survival.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be void and unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified so as to be enforceable or, if not subject to modification, then eliminated here from to the extent necessary to permit the remaining provisions to be enforced.

In the event of any litigation arising out of this Agreement, the exclusive venue shall be in Palm Beach County, Florida and shall be decided by a judge, not a jury.

The Employee:    4250 NW 26th Avenue,
            Boca Raton,
            FL 33434
            


18.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (oral or written) between or among the Parties with respect to such subject matter.


19.    Headings.  The headings of the Sections contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.


20.    Employee’s Representation.  The Employee represents and warrants to MiX Telematics that there is no legal impediment to the Employee entering into, or performing the Employee’s obligations under this Agreement, and neither entering into this Agreement nor performing the Services hereunder will violate any agreement to which the Employee is a party or any other legal restriction.  The Employee further represents and warrants that in performing Services hereunder the Employee will not use or disclose any confidential information of any prior employer or other person or entity.


21.    Section 409A of the Code.  It is the intention of the Parties that the benefits and rights to which the Employee could be entitled pursuant to this Agreement comply with Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance promulgated or issued thereunder, to the extent that the requirements of Section 409A are applicable thereto, and this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with that intention.  If either party believes, at any time, that any such benefit or right that is subject to Section 409A does not so comply, the party shall promptly advise the other and shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to amend the terms of such benefits and rights such that they comply with Section 409A (with the most limited possible economic effect on the Employee and on MiX Telematics).


If and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, any payment or benefit required to be paid hereunder on account of termination of Employee’s employment, service (or any other similar term) shall be made only in connection with a “separation from service” with respect to Employee within the meaning of Section 409A.


    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or otherwise, except to the extent any expense, reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided pursuant in this Agreement does not constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to the Employee during any calendar year will not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided to the Employee in any other calendar year; (ii) the reimbursements for expenses for which the Employee is entitled to be reimbursed shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the applicable expense is incurred; and (iii) the right to
