Exhibit 10.1



 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”), dated as of May 1, 2013, is by and between ARRIS GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Larry Robinson (“Executive”). 

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company want to enter into a written agreement providing for the terms of Executive’s employment by the
Company. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recital and of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 

1. Employment. Executive agrees to enter into the continued employment of the Company, and the Company agrees to employ Executive,
on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Executive agrees during the term of this Agreement to devote substantially all of his business time, efforts, skills and abilities to the performance of his duties as stated in this Agreement
and to the furtherance of the Company’s business. 
 Executive’s initial job title will be President-Consumer Premises
and his duties will be those as are designated, directly or indirectly, by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Executive further agrees to serve, without additional compensation, as an officer or director, or both, of any subsidiary,
division or affiliate of the Company or any other entity in which the Company holds an equity interest, provided, however, that (a) the Company shall indemnify Executive from liabilities in connection with serving in any such position to the
same extent as his indemnification rights pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws and applicable Delaware law, and (b) such other position shall not materially detract from the responsibilities of Executive pursuant
to this Section 1 or his ability to perform such responsibilities. 
 2. Compensation. 

(a) Base Salary. During the term of Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall pay
to Executive as compensation for his services an annual base salary of not less than $460,000 (“Base Salary”). Executive’s Base Salary will be payable in arrears (no less frequently than monthly) in accordance with the Company’s
normal payroll procedures and will be reviewed annually and subject to upward adjustment at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and Compensation Committee, but will not be lowered except in connection with reductions applied to all
executive officers. 
 (b) Incentive Bonus. During the term of Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to
this Agreement, Executive’s incentive compensation program shall be determined by the Company in its discretion with a target bonus equal to 75% of Base Salary, and allowing for payment of up to 200% of target thereafter. Executive’s
bonus, if any, shall be payable as soon after the end of each calendar year to which it relates as it can be determined, but in any event within two and one-half (2-1/2) months thereafter. 







 (c) Executive Perquisites. During the term of Executive’s employment with the
Company pursuant to this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to receive such executive perquisites and fringe benefits as are provided to the executives in comparable positions and their families under any of the Company’s plans and/or
programs in effect from time to time and such other benefits as are customarily available to executives of the Company and their families, including without limitation vacations and life, medical and disability insurance. For the purposes of
clarity, Executive will be eligible to participate in the Company’s currently available defined contribution plans, but not the Company’s defined benefit plans (which the Company currently is considering freezing). 

(d) Tax Withholding. The Company has the right to deduct from any compensation payable to Executive under this Agreement social
security (FICA) taxes and all federal, state, municipal or other such taxes or charges as may now be in effect or that may hereafter be enacted or required. 
 (e) Expense Reimbursements. The Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses incurred or paid by Executive in the course of performing his duties hereunder,
including but not limited to reasonable travel expenses for Executive. As a condition to such payment or reimbursement, however, Executive shall maintain and provide to the Company reasonable documentation and receipts for such expenses. Such
payments and reimbursements shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following submission of reasonable documentation and receipts for such expenses but all such payments and reimbursements shall be made no later than the last day of
the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive incurs the reimbursable expense. 
 3. Term. Unless
sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, the term of employment under this Agreement shall commence as of the date hereof and shall continue for a period of one year. The
term automatically shall be extended by one day for each day of employment hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing the term of employment under this agreement shall terminate, if it has not terminated earlier, without further action on the part of
the Company or Executive upon Executive’s 65th birthday. 
 4. Termination. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 3 hereof, but subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate as follows: 
 (a) Death. Executive’s employment shall terminate upon the death of Executive, provided, however, that the Company shall continue to pay no less frequently than monthly (in accordance with its
normal payroll procedures) the Base Salary to Executive’s estate for a period of three months after the date of Executive’s death. 
 (b) Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for “Cause” (as hereinafter defined) by delivering a written termination notice to Executive.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean any of: (i) Executive’s 

  
 2 








 
conviction of a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; (ii) Executive’s commission of an act constituting fraud, deceit or material misrepresentation with respect to the Company;
(iii) Executive’s embezzlement of funds or assets from the Company; (iv) Executive’s harassment or mistreatment of a Company employee or contractor or other misconduct, which if generally known would cause, as determined in good
faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company embarrassment with its customers or the public generally; (v) Executive’s addiction to any alcoholic, controlled or illegal substance or drug; (vi) Executive’s
commission of any act or omission which would give the Company the right to terminate Executive’s employment under applicable law; or (vii) Executive’s failure to correct or cure any material breach of or default under this Agreement
within ten days after receiving written notice of such breach or default from the Company. 
 (c) Termination Without
Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time by delivering a written termination notice to Executive. 
 (d) Termination by Executive. Executive may terminate his employment at any time by delivering ninety days prior written notice to the Company; provided, however, that the terms, conditions and
benefits specified in Section 5 hereof shall apply or be payable to Executive only if such termination occurs as a result of an uncured material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement. 

(e) Termination Following Disability. In the event Executive becomes mentally or physically impaired or disabled and is unable to
perform his material duties and responsibilities hereunder for a period of at least ninety days in the aggregate during any one hundred twenty consecutive day period, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment by delivering a written
termination notice to Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall continue to receive his full salary and benefits under this Agreement for a period of six months after the effective date of such termination with his base salary
payable in arrears no less frequently than monthly in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures and continued benefits on a monthly basis through such time. 
 (f) Payments. Following any expiration or termination of this Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder, in addition any amounts owed pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company shall
pay to Executive all amounts earned by Executive hereunder prior to the date of such expiration and termination, as soon as administratively practicable following the date of termination of Executive’s employment, in the normal course
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Additionally, subject to Executive’s continued compliance with Sections 7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement, if Executive terminates his employment with the Company without Good Reason on or after the
date Executive attains age 62 (provided Executive has no less than 10 years of actual continuous service with Company following the date hereof as of such termination), all of Executive’s stock options and equity awards outstanding at
termination of Executive’s employment shall continue to vest for four (4) years after the termination as if Executive remained employed through such time, and such stock options shall remain outstanding through the original expiration date
of the stock options (disregarding any earlier expiration date based on Executive’s termination of employment). 

  
 3 








 5. Certain Termination Benefits. Subject to Section 6(a) hereof, in the event
(i) the Company terminates Executive’s employment without cause pursuant to Section 4(c) or (ii) Executive terminates his employment pursuant to Section 4(d) after a material breach by the Company (which the Company fails to
cure within thirty days after written notice of such breach from Executive): 
 (a) Base Salary and
Bonus. The Company shall continue to pay to Executive his Base Salary (as in effect as of the date of such termination) no less frequently than monthly in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures, beginning with the first
payroll date after the date of termination of Executive’s employment and continuing for twelve (12) months immediately following the termination. The Company also shall pay to Executive (i) a bonus for the fiscal year in which the
termination occurs based upon the actual results for such fiscal year reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect only the portion of the year prior to the end of the month in which the termination occurs (e.g., in the event of a termination in March,
Executive would receive 1/4 of the amount that he otherwise would receive), and (ii) an amount equal to the average bonus received, or to be received, by Executive with respect to the three most recently completed fiscal years of the Company
(e.g., if Executive has received, or been entitled to receive, bonuses for two fiscal years, it would be the average of those two bonuses) or, if Executive has not yet received, or been entitled to receive, a bonus with respect to a completed fiscal
year, an amount equal to Executive’s target bonus for the current fiscal year. The Company will pay all such bonus amounts as soon as they reasonably can be calculated, but in all events within two and one-half (2 1/2) months of the end of the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments to be made or benefits to be provided under this Section are subject to the
provisions of Section 5(g) below. 
 (b) Stock. Subject to Section 10 hereof, on and as of the effective
date of the termination of employment, all of Executive’s outstanding stock options and restricted stock grants under the Company’s stock option and other benefit plans shall immediately vest. Additionally, all of Executive’s
outstanding stock options shall remain outstanding until the original expiration date of the stock options (disregarding any earlier expiration date based on Executive’s termination of employment). 

(c) Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a termination occurring during the two year period commencing the
day after the award date of Executive’s initial equity grants following employment by the Company, the amount payable to Executive pursuant to Section 5(a) shall be reduced, but not below zero, on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the value of
any equity-related awards that vests as a result of Section 5(b) or similar provisions in any equity-related benefit plans. 
 (d) Life Insurance. The Company shall continue to provide Executive on a monthly basis with group and additional life insurance coverage, no less frequently than monthly, for a period of twelve
(12) months immediately following termination of employment. 
 (e) Medical Insurance. The Company shall continue to
provide Executive and his family with group medical insurance coverage, no less frequently than monthly, under the Company’s medical plans (as the same may change from time to time) or other substantially similar health insurance for a period
of twelve (12) months immediately following termination of employment. 

  
 4 








 (f) Group Disability. The Company shall continue to provide Executive coverage, no
less frequently than monthly, under the Company’s group disability plan for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following termination of employment (subject in the case of long-term disability to the availability of such coverage
under Company’s insurance policy). 
 (g) Section 409A. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement,
it is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and which is considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”), will be provided and paid in a manner, and at such time, as complies with Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Agreement, all rights to payments and benefits hereunder shall be treated as rights to
receive a series of separate payments and benefits to the fullest extent allowed by Section 409A of the Code. If Executive is a key employee (as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) and any of
Company’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, then the payment of any amount or provision of any benefit under this Agreement which is considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to
Section 409A of the Code shall be deferred for six (6) months after the Termination Date or, if earlier, Executive’s death (the “409A Deferral Period”), as required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. In the event
payments are otherwise due to be made in installments or periodically during such 409A Deferral Period, the payments which would otherwise have been made in the 409A Deferral Period shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum as soon as the 409A
Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the payments shall be made as otherwise scheduled. In the event, benefits are otherwise to be provided hereunder during such 409A Deferral Period, any such benefits may be provided during the 409A Deferral
Period at Executive’s expense, with Executive having a right to reimbursement for such expense from the Company as soon as the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the benefits shall be provided as otherwise scheduled. For purposes of
this Agreement, Executive’s termination of employment shall be construed to mean a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code where it is reasonably anticipated that no further services will be
performed after such date or that the level of bona fide services Executive would perform after that date (whether as an employee or independent contractor) would permanently decrease to less than fifty percent (50%) of the average level of
bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36)-month period. Without limitation, if any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and which is considered to be nonqualified
deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code fails to comply with Section 409A of the Code, and Executive incurs any additional tax, interest and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, Company will pay Executive an
additional amount so that, after paying all taxes, interest and penalties on such additional amount, Executive has an amount remaining equal to such additional tax, interest and penalties. All payments to be made to Executive pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence shall be payable no later than when the related taxes, interest and penalties are to be remitted. Any right to reimbursement incurred due to a tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of any tax
liability addressed in the immediately 

  
 5 








 
preceding sentence must be made no later than when the related taxes, interest and penalties that are the subject of the audit or litigation are to be remitted to the taxing authorities or, where
no such taxes, interest and penalties are remitted, within thirty (30) days of when the audit is completed or there is a final non-appealable settlement or resolution of the litigation. 

(h) Offset. Any fringe benefits received by Executive in connection with any other employment that are reasonably comparable, but
not necessarily as beneficial, to Executive as the fringe benefits then being provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 5, shall be deemed to be the equivalent of, and shall terminate the Company’s responsibility to continue
providing, the fringe benefits then being provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 5. The Company acknowledges that if Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated, Executive shall have no duty to mitigate damages.

 (i) General Release. Acceptance by Executive of any amounts pursuant to this Section 5 shall constitute a full
and complete release by Executive of any and all claims Executive may have against the Company, its officers, directors and affiliates, including, but not limited to, claims he might have relating to Executive’s cessation of employment with the
Company; provided, however, that there may properly be excluded from the scope of such general release the following: 
 (i) claims that Executive may have against the Company for reimbursement of ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by him during the course of his employment; 

(ii) claims that may be made by the Executive for payment of Base Salary, fringe benefits or restricted stock or stock
options properly due to him; or 
 (iii) claims respecting matters for which the Executive is entitled to be
indemnified under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, respecting third party claims asserted or third party litigation pending or threatened against the Executive. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a condition to the payment to Executive of any amounts pursuant to this Section 5, Executive shall execute and deliver to the Company a release in the customary form
then being used by the Company, which may include non-disparagement and confidentiality agreements. In exchange for such release, the Company shall, if Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause, provide a release to Executive, but only
with respect to claims against Executive which are actually known to the Company as of the time of such termination. Executive will be required to execute and not revoke the Company’s standard written release of any and all claims against the
Company and all related parties with respect to all matters arising out of Executive’s employment by the Company (other than as described above) no later than thirty (30) days following Executive’s termination of employment (or such
later time as the Company may permit). If the Executive does not provide such release, with the period for revoking same having already expired, then Company shall not be required to pay any further amounts pursuant to this Section 5 and
Executive will be required to return to the Company any amounts previously paid pursuant to this Section 5. 

  
 6 








 6. Effect of Change in Control. 

(a) If within one year following a “Change of Control” (as hereinafter defined), Executive terminates his employment with the
Company for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined) or the Company terminates Executive’s employment for any reason other than Cause, death or disability, the Company shall pay to Executive: (1) an amount equal to one times the
Executive’s Base Salary as of the date of termination; (2) an amount equal to one times the average annual cash bonus paid to Executive for the two fiscal years immediately preceding the date of termination (and a pro rata portion for any
partial year); (3) all benefits under the Company’s various benefit plans, including group healthcare, dental and life, for the period equal to twelve months from the date of termination; and (4) subject to Section 10 hereof, on
and as of the effective date of the termination of employment, all of Executive’s outstanding stock options and restricted stock grants under the Company’s stock option and other benefit plans shall immediately vest. The Company shall pay
the amounts set forth in (1) and (2) above in one lump sum payment as soon as administratively practicable (and within thirty (30) days) following Executive’s termination of employment. The benefits provided under (3) above
shall be provided no less frequently than monthly following the date of termination of employment. Additionally, Executive’s outstanding stock options shall remain outstanding until the original expiration date of the stock options
(disregarding any earlier expiration date based on Executive’s termination of employment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments to be made and benefits to be provided under this Section are subject to the provisions of Section 5(g)
above. 
 (b) “Change of Control” shall mean the date as of which: (i) there shall be consummated (1) any
consolidation or merger of the Company to which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Company’s common stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger
of the Company in which the holders of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the merger own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the continuing or surviving entity, or (2) any sale, lease,
exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company or (ii) the stockholders of the Company approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company; or (iii) any person as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), shall become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 30% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock (in a single transaction or within twelve (12) months from the date of the final acquisition) or (iv) during any one year, individuals who at
the beginning of such period constitute the entire Board of Directors of the Company shall cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof unless the appointment, election, or the nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, of
each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors still then in office who were directors at the beginning of the period. This definition of “Change in Control” is intended to comply with the definition of a
change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code and shall be construed consistent with that intent.


  
 7 








 (c) “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following actions taken by the Company
without the Executive’s written consent after a Change of Control: 
 (i) A reduction by the Company in the
Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the date of a Change of Control or Potential Change of Control, or as the same may be increased from time to time during the term of his Agreement; 

(ii) The Company shall require the Executive to be based anywhere other than at the location where the Executive is based
on the date of a Change of Control or Potential Change of Control, or if Executive agrees to such relocation, the Company fails to reimburse the Executive for moving and all other expenses reasonably incurred with such move; 

(iii) The Company shall fail to continue in effect any Company-sponsored plan or benefit that is in effect on the date of
a Change of Control or Potential Change of Control, that provides (A) incentive or bonus compensation, (B) fringe benefits such as vacation, medical benefits, life insurance and accident insurance, (C) reimbursement for reasonable
expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the performance of duties with the Company, or (D) retirement benefits such as a Code Section 401(k) plan, except to the extent that such plans taken as a whole are replaced with
substantially comparable plans; 
 (iv) Any material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement;
and 
 (v) Any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by any successor or assign of
the Company effected in accordance with the provisions of Section 6. 
 (d) “Potential Change of Control” shall
mean the date as of which (1) the Company enters into an agreement the consummation of which, or the approval by shareholders of which, would constitute a Change of Control; (ii) proxies for the election of Directors of the Company are
solicited by anyone other than the Company; (iii) any person (including, but not limited to, any individual, partnership, joint venture, corporation, association or trust) publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions
which, if consummated, would constitute a Change of Control; or (iv) any other event occurs which is deemed to be a Potential Change of Control by the Board and the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that a Potential Change of Control has
occurred. 
 (e) If the payments to Executive pursuant to this Agreement (when considered with all other payments made to
Executive as a result of a termination of employment that are subject to Section 280G of the Code) (the amount of all such payments, collectively, the “Parachute Payment”) result in Executive becoming liable for the payment of any
excise taxes pursuant to section 4999 of the Code (“280G Excise Tax”), Executive will receive the greater on an after-tax basis of (i) the severance benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the severance benefits
payable pursuant to this Agreement as reduced to avoid imposition of the 280G Excise Tax (the “Conditional Capped Amount”). 

  
 8 








 Not more than fourteen (14) days following the termination of employment the Company
will notify Executive in writing (A) whether the severance benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement when added to any other Parachute Payments payable to Executive exceed an amount equal to 299% (the “299% Amount”) of
Executive’s “base amount” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, (B) the amount that is equal to the 299% Amount, (C) whether the severance benefit described in this Agreement or the Conditional Capped Amount
pursuant to clause (ii) above is greater on an after-tax basis and (C) if the Conditional Capped Amount is the greater amount, the amount that the severance benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement must be reduced to equal such amount.

 The calculation of the 299% Amount, the determination of whether the termination benefits described in clause (i) above
or the Conditional Capped Amount described in clause (ii) above is greater on an after-tax basis and, if the Conditional Capped Amount in clause (ii) is the greater amount, the determination of how much Executive’s termination
benefits must be reduced in order to avoid application of the 280G Excise Tax will be made by the Company’s public accounting firm in accordance with section 280G of the Code or any successor provision thereto. For purposes of making the
reduction of amounts payable under this Agreement, such amounts shall be eliminated in the following order: (1) any cash compensation, (2) any health or welfare benefits, (3) any equity compensation, and (4) any other payments
hereunder. Reductions of such amounts shall take place in the chronological order with respect to which such amounts would be paid from the date of the termination of employment absent any acceleration of payment. If the reduction of the amounts
payable hereunder would not result in a reduction of the Parachute Payments to the Conditional Capped Amount, no amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced pursuant to this provision. The costs of obtaining such determination will be
borne by the Company. 
 7. Non-Competition. 
 (a) As used in this Section: 
 “Business of Company” means providing
products and services to broadband internet service providers which support a full range of integrated voice, video and high-speed data services to the subscribers of such providers. 

“Restricted Period” means the period beginning on the Termination Date and ending twelve (12) months after the Termination
Date. 
 “Restricted Territory” means, and is limited to, the following Metropolitan Statistical Areas:

Newton MA-NH. Executive acknowledges and agrees that this is the area in which the Company does business at the time of execution of this Agreement, and in which Executive will have responsibility, at a minimum, on behalf of the Company. 

“Material Contact” means contact in person, by telephone or by paper or electronic correspondence, in furtherance of the
business interests of Company. 
 (b) Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment hereunder and during the
Restricted Period, Executive shall not, within the Restricted Territory, perform services on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, which are the same as or similar to those he provided to Company and which support any business
activities which compete with the Business of Company. 
 (c) Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment hereunder
and during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit any actual or prospective customers of Company with whom Executive had Material Contact, for the purpose of selling any products or services which compete with
the Business of Company. 
 (d) Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment hereunder and during the Restricted
Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit any actual or prospective vendor of Company with whom Executive had Material Contact, for the purpose of providing products or services in support of any business activities which compete
with the Business of Company. 
 (e) Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment hereunder and during the
Restricted Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce any employee or independent contractor of Company with whom Executive had Material Contact to terminate such employment or contract with Company. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, without limitation on other available remedies, the restrictions on
Executive set forth in this Section 7(b), (c), (d) and (e) hereof shall not be applicable at any time that Company is in breach of its contractual obligations to Executive under this Agreement following the thirty (30) days after
being notified in writing by Executive of such breach and failure of Company to cure same. In the event Company cures such breach, the restrictions set forth in Sections 7(b), (c), (d) and (e) hereof shall continue pursuant to their terms
as if such breach never occurred. 
 8. Nondisclosure of Trade Secrets. During the term of this Agreement, Executive will
have access to and become familiar with various trade secrets and proprietary and confidential information of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, including, but not limited to, processes, designs, computer programs, compilations of
information, records, sales procedures, customer requirements, pricing techniques, product plans, marketing plans, strategic 

  
 10 









 
plans, customer lists, methods of doing business and other confidential information (collectively, referred to as “Trade Secrets”) which are owned by the Company, its subsidiaries
and/or affiliates and regularly used in the operation of its business, and as to which the Company, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates take precautions to prevent dissemination to persons other than certain directors, officers and employees.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Trade Secrets (1) are secret and not known in the industry; (2) give the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates an advantage over competitors who do not know or use the Trade Secrets;
(3) are of such value and nature as to make it reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the confidentiality and secrecy of the Trade Secrets; and (4) are valuable, special and unique assets of the Company or its subsidiaries or
affiliates, the disclosure of which could cause substantial injury and loss of profits and goodwill to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. Executive may not use in any way or disclose any of the Trade Secrets, directly or indirectly,
either during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, except as required in the course of his employment under this Agreement, if required in connection with a judicial or administrative proceeding, or if the information becomes public
knowledge other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure by the Executive. All files, records, documents, information, data and similar items relating to the business of the Company, whether prepared by Executive or otherwise coming into his
possession, will remain the exclusive property of the Company and may not be removed from the premises of the Company under any circumstances without the prior written consent of the Board (except in the ordinary course of business during
Executive’s period of active employment under this Agreement), and in any event must be promptly delivered to the Company upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive agrees that upon his receipt of any subpoena,
process or other request to produce or divulge, directly or indirectly, any Trade Secrets to any entity, agency, tribunal or person, Executive shall timely notify and promptly hand deliver a copy of the subpoena, process or other request to the
Board. For this purpose, Executive irrevocably nominates and appoints the Company (including any attorney retained by the Company), as his true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to act in Executive’s name, place and stead to perform any act that
Executive might perform to defend and protect against any disclosure of any Trade Secrets. 
 9. Return of Profits. In
the event that Executive violates any of the provisions of Sections 7 or 8 hereof or fails to provide the notice required by Section 4(d) hereof, the Company shall be entitled to receive from Executive the profits, if any, received by Executive
upon exercise of any Company granted stock options or stock appreciation rights or upon lapse of the restrictions on any grant or restricted stock to the extent such options or rights were exercised, or such restrictions lapsed, subsequent to six
months prior to the termination of Executive’s employment. In addition, payments under this Agreement shall be subject to (a) any applicable law or regulation, stock exchange rule, or policy required by the foregoing providing for
recoupment or clawback, and (b) any recoupment or clawback policy of the Company in effect on or after the date hereof (or the date of any amendment hereto). 
 10. Severability. The parties hereto intend all provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. Accordingly, should a court of competent jurisdiction
determine that the scope of any provision of Sections 7, 8 or 9 hereof is too broad to be enforced as written, the parties intend that the court reform the provision to such narrower scope as it determines to be reasonable and enforceable. In
addition, however, Executive agrees 

  
 11 









 
that the nonsolicitation and nondisclosure agreements set forth above each constitute separate agreements independently supported by good and adequate consideration shall be severable from the
other provisions of, and shall survive, this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action of Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the
Company of the covenants of Executive contained in the nonsolicitation and nondisclosure agreements. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term hereof,
such provision shall be fully severable and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision never constituted a part of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added as part of this
Agreement, a provision as similar in its terms to such illegal, invalid or enforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable. 
 11. Arbitration - Exclusive Remedy. 
 (a) The parties agree that the
exclusive remedy or method of resolving all disputes or questions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be arbitration. Arbitration shall be held in Atlanta, Georgia by three arbitrators, one to be appointed by the Company, a second to
be appointed by Executive, and a third to be appointed by those two arbitrators. The third arbitrator shall act as chairman. Any arbitration may be initiated by either party by written notice (“Arbitration Notice”) to the other party
specifying the subject of the requested arbitration and appointing that party’s arbitrator. 
 (b) If (i) the
non-initiating party fails to appoint an arbitrator by written notice to the initiating party within ten days after the Arbitration Notice, or (ii) the two arbitrators appointed by the parties fail to appoint a third arbitrator within ten days
after the date of the appointment of the second arbitrator, then the American Arbitration Association, upon application of the initiating party, shall appoint an arbitrator to fill that position. 

(c) The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. A determination
or award made or approved by at least two of the arbitrators shall be the valid and binding action of the arbitrators. The costs of arbitration (exclusive of the expense of a party in obtaining and presenting evidence and attending the arbitration
and of the fees and expenses of legal counsel to a party, all of which shall be borne by that party) shall be borne by the Company only if Executive receives substantially the relief sought by him in the arbitration, whether by settlement, award or
judgment; otherwise, the costs shall be borne equally between the parties. The arbitration determination or award shall be final and conclusive on the parties, and judgment upon such award may be entered and enforced in any court of competent
jurisdiction. To the extent the Company is required to reimburse Executive for any such cost, fees and expenses, the Company shall reimburse such costs, fees and expenses within 90 days following the final determination, award, judgment or
settlement.
