 5. Confidential Information. 
 (a)
Executive acknowledges that the continued success of Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, depends upon the use and protection of a large body of confidential and proprietary information. All of such confidential and proprietary information
now existing or to be developed in the future will be referred to in this Agreement as “Confidential Information”. Confidential Information will be interpreted as broadly as possible to include all information of any sort (whether
merely remembered or embodied in a tangible or intangible form) that is (i) related to Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ current or potential business and (ii) is not generally or publicly known. Confidential
Information includes, without specific limitation, the information, observations and data obtained by Executive during the course of her performance under this Agreement concerning the business and affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries and
Affiliates, information concerning acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ business or industry of which Executive becomes aware during the Employment Period, the persons
or entities that are current, former or prospective suppliers or customers of any one or more of them during Executive’s course of performance under this Agreement, as well as development, transition and transformation plans, methodologies and
methods of doing business, strategic, marketing and expansion plans, including plans regarding planned and potential sales, financial and business plans, employee lists and telephone numbers, locations of sales representatives, new and existing
programs and services, prices and terms, customer service, integration processes, requirements and costs of providing service, support and equipment. Therefore, Executive agrees that during her employment and for a period of three (3) years
after termination of her employment for any reason (and as to information that constitutes a trade secret under applicable law, for such longer period as the same shall remain a trade secret) she shall not disclose to any unauthorized person or use
for her own account any of such Confidential Information without both Board’s prior written consent, unless and to the extent that any Confidential Information (i) becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than
as a result of Executive’s acts or omissions to act or (ii) is required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law or court order. Executive agrees to deliver to the Company at the end of the Employment Period, or at any other time the
Company may request in writing, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports and other 
  

 5 








 documents (and copies thereof) relating to the business of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, without
limitation, all Confidential Information) that she may then possess or have under her control. 
 (b) During the Employment Period, Executive
shall not use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employers or any other person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and shall not bring onto the premises of Parent or its Subsidiaries
or Affiliates any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by the former employer or Person. Executive shall use
in the performance of her duties only information that is (i) generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive’s and that is (x) common knowledge in the industry or (y) is otherwise legally
in the public domain, (ii) otherwise provided or developed by Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (iii) in the case of materials, property or information belonging to any former employer or other Person to whom Executive has an
obligation of confidentiality, approved for such use in writing by such former employer or Person. If at any time during the Employment Period, Executive believes she is being asked to engage in work that will, or will be likely to, jeopardize any
confidentiality or other obligations Executive may have to former employers, Executive shall immediately advise the Board so that Executive’s duties can be modified appropriately. 
 (c) Executive represents and warrants to the Parent and its Subsidiaries that Executive took nothing with him which belonged to any former employer when
Executive left her position(s) with such employer(s) and that Executive has nothing that contains any information which belongs to any former employer. If at any time Executive discovers that this representation is incorrect, Executive shall
promptly return any such materials to Executive’s former employer(s). Parent and its Subsidiaries does not want any such materials, and Executive shall not be permitted to use or refer to any such materials in the performance of
Executive’s duties hereunder. 
 (d) Executive understands that Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates will receive from third
parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it
only for certain limited purposes. During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of paragraph 5(a) above, Executive will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not
disclose to anyone (other than personnel of Parent or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates who need to know such information in connection with their work for Parent or such Subsidiaries and Affiliates) or use, except in connection with her work for
Parent or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by a member of the Board in writing. 
 6.

 not patentable) which relate to Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ actual or anticipated business, research
and development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived, developed or made by Executive (whether alone or jointly with others) while employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries, whether before or after the date of this
Agreement (“Work Product”), belong to Parent, the Company or such Subsidiary. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and, at the Company’s expense, perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board
(whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments). 
 7. Non-Compete; Non-Solicitation. 
 (a) In further consideration of the compensation to be paid to Executive hereunder, Executive acknowledges that during the course of her employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries she has and shall become familiar with Parent’s
and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ corporate strategy, pricing and other market information, know-how, trade secrets and valuable customer, supplier and employee relationships, and with other Confidential Information concerning Parent
and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and that her services have been and shall be of special, unique and extraordinary value to Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Accordingly, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for one

Executive). Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded, so long as Executive has no active participation in the business of
such corporation. For purpose of this Agreement, “Competing Business” shall mean any business engaged (whether directly or indirectly) in the design, manufacture, marketing, or sale of electromechanical or electronic sensors or
controls. 
 (b) During the Noncompete Period, Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another person or entity (i) induce or

to which the applicable clause of this paragraph 7(b) applies. 
 (c) If, at the time of enforcement of this paragraph 7, a court shall hold
that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated
duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this paragraph 7 are
reasonable and that she has reviewed the provisions of this Agreement with her legal counsel. 
 (d) Executive acknowledges that any breach
or threatened breach of the provisions of this paragraph 7 would cause Parent and its Subsidiaries irreparable harm. Accordingly, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance
