the views of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of BrightView Landscapes, LLC (f/k/a The Brickman Group Ltd. LLC) (“BrightView Landscapes”), (1) to determine Adjusted EBITDA hereunder, and, when determining

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent included in Consolidated Net Income, there shall be excluded in determining consolidated EBITDA for any period any income (loss) for such period attributable to the early extinguishment
of (i) indebtedness, (ii) obligations under any Swap Contracts or (iii) other derivative instruments. 

(B)    “Consolidated Net Income” means, at any date of determination, the net income (or
loss) of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the most recently completed Measurement Period; provided that Consolidated Net Income shall exclude (a) extraordinary gains and extraordinary losses for such Measurement
Period, (b) the net income of any Subsidiary during such Measurement Period to the extent that the declaration or payment of dividends or similar distributions by such Subsidiary of such income is not permitted by operation of the terms of its

(including assumption or liabilities) for any such transaction or series of related transactions in excess of $1.0

KKR Group achieves both the Sponsor Return and the Sponsor IRR (or, for a Change in Control occurring on or after December 18, 2017 but prior to the December 18, 2018, the KKR Group achieves either the Sponsor Return or the Sponsor IRR),
or (ii) any sale of Shares by the KKR Group pursuant to which the KKR Group achieves both the Sponsor Return and the Sponsor IRR (or, for any such sale occurring on or after December 18, 2017 but prior to December 18, 2018, the KKR
Group achieves either the Sponsor Return or the Sponsor IRR) with respect to the Shares sold.

For the avoidance of doubt, any calculation of Sponsor IRR will: (a) take into account (i) any
distributions from the Company received by the KKR Group on all Shares (plus Class A-1 Units, as applicable) before such Transaction and (ii) upon a Transaction that is a Change in Control where the
KKR Group receives consideration other than cash, the Transaction Value of any non-cash and/or contingent consideration, including any retained interests in the Company or its Subsidiaries; and (b) not
take into account the 

  
 4 








 
receipt by any member of the KKR Group any management, monitoring, transaction or other fees payable to such parties under certain management agreements, transaction fee agreements, and/or
syndication fee agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of a Transaction that is not a Change in Control, Sponsor IRR shall be calculated on a per Share basis, solely with respect to the Shares actually sold or otherwise disposed of
in the applicable Transaction. 
 (K)    “Sponsor Return” shall mean, on any given
Transaction, a return at least 2.5 times the KKR Group’s initial investment on December 18, 2013 for each Class A-1 Unit of the Company (as adjusted to a per Share basis in connection with the
conversion to Shares) held directly or indirectly by the KKR Group, where such return is calculated based on all cash distributions from the Company received by the KKR Group before such Transaction (and, if such Transaction is a Change in Control
where the KKR Group receives consideration other than cash, the Transaction Value of any non-cash and/or contingent consideration, including any retained interests in the Company or its Subsidiaries), on a per
Share basis, with respect to the Shares held by the KKR Group, directly or indirectly. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not take into account the receipt by any member of the KKR Group any management, monitoring, transaction or other
fees payable to such parties under certain management agreements, transaction fee agreements, and/or syndication fee agreements. 

(L)    “Swap Contract” means any and all rate swap transactions, basis swaps, credit

interest rate options, forward foreign exchange transactions, cap transactions, floor transactions, collar transactions, currency swap transactions, cross-currency rate swap transactions, currency options, spot contracts, or any other similar
transactions or any combination of any of the foregoing (including any options to enter into any of the foregoing, whether or not any such transaction is governed by or subject to any master agreement. 

(M)    “Transaction Value” means an amount determined reasonably and in good faith by the
Board based on the per Share consideration being paid (and for contingent consideration, the related expected proceeds or value thereof) in connection with any Change in Control. 

(c)    Forfeiture of Unvested Performance Vesting Option. Any Performance Vesting Shares that do not become vested
as a result of a Change in Control shall be forfeited at such time (or if later, shall be forfeited on the date on which the KKR Group sells all of its IPO Corporation Shares, to the extent any Performance Vesting Options remain unvested at such
time, after taking into account the return (if any) achieved by the KKR Group in such final sale). 

  
 5 








 (d)    EBITDA Target Adjustment upon an Acquisition. If the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries makes an acquisition that generate more than $                million in gross revenue per Fiscal Year, then the annual (but not the cumulative)
Adjusted EBITDA Target for each of the Fiscal Years following the Fiscal Year in which the acquisition occurred will be increased by the amount of additional Adjusted EBITDA generated by such acquisition in the remaining portion of the Fiscal Year
following the date on which the acquisition was consummated. The intent of such adjustments is to keep the probability of achieving the annual Adjusted EBITDA Targets and cumulative Adjusted EBITDA Targets the same as if the event triggering such
adjustment had not occurred. The Board’s determination of such necessary adjustment shall be made within 60 days following the completion or closing of such event, or as soon as practical thereafter, after the good faith consideration of the
views of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and shall be based on the Company’s accounting as set forth in its books and records and on the Company’s financial plan pursuant to which the annual
Adjusted EBITDA Targets and cumulative Adjusted EBITDA Targets were originally established. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Adjusted EBITDA must grow during the applicable Fiscal Year without acquisitions for any vesting to occur (underlying Adjusted
EBITDA cannot go backwards and be offset by increased acquisitions). However, if Core EBITDA Targets (as set forth on Schedule I hereto) are not achieved, an overachievement in acquisitions may offset (and similarly, if acquisitions are not
achieved, an overachievement in non-acquisition Adjusted EBITDA may offset) the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.

Company hereby irrevocably grants to Participant the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of the Shares, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan, the

an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. 







 (c)    This Agreement will be construed in accordance and consistent with,
and subject to, the terms of the Plan (the provisions of which are incorporated hereby by reference). In the event of any conflict between one or more of this Agreement, the Award Notice and the Plan, the Plan will govern this Agreement and the
Award Notice, and the Agreement (to the extent not in conflict with the Plan) will govern the Award Notice. 
 3. Exercise Price. The
price at which Participant will be entitled to purchase the Shares upon the exercise of the Option will be the Exercise Price per Share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11.

Notice.

	 	6.	Manner of Exercise and Payment. 

 (a)    Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Option may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice to the Company in the manner prescribed in Section 7(d) of the Plan and as otherwise set forth by the Committee from time to
time. Such notice will set forth the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised and will be signed by the person or persons exercising the Option. In the event the Company has designated an Award Administrator (as defined

Section 16 of the Exchange Act at such time, such amount which would not result in adverse consequences under GAAP), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Participant and the Company. The number of Shares to be withheld or otherwise used for
payment will be calculated using the closing price per Share on the New York Stock Exchange (or other principal exchange on which the Shares then trade) on the date of determination, and will be rounded up to the nearest whole Share. 







 (c)    Upon receipt of the notice of exercise and any payment or other
documentation as may be necessary pursuant to Sections 6(a) and 6(b) relating to the Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, the Company will, subject to the Plan and this Agreement, take such action as may be necessary to
effect the transfer to Participant of the number of Shares as to which such exercise was effective. 

(d)    Participant will not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights and privileges of a stockholder
of the Company (including the right to vote or receive dividends) in respect of, Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option until (i) the Option has been exercised pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and Participant has paid the full
purchase price for the number of Shares in respect of which the Option was exercised and any applicable Withholding Taxes and (ii) the Company has issued the Shares in connection with such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, Participant may otherwise elect to make all or a portion of such payments in cash, check, cash equivalent, and/or Shares, or as provided in Section 14(d) of the Plan. 

 

	 	7.	Termination of Employment. 

 (a)    Subject to Section 7(c)
below, in the event that Participant’s employment with the Company Group terminates for any reason, any unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited and all of Participant’s rights under this Agreement will terminate as of the
effective date of Termination (the “Termination Date”) (unless otherwise provided for by the Committee in accordance with the Plan). 

(b)    If Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company Group for Cause or by Participant when grounds
existed for Cause at the time thereof, the vested and unvested portions of the Option will terminate as of the Termination Date. 

(c)    In the event (i) Participant’s employment with the Company Group is terminated by the Company due to
death or Disability, each outstanding vested Option will remain exercisable for one year thereafter (but in no event beyond the Option Period) and (ii) Participant’s employment with the Company Group is terminated for any other reason
(subject to Section 7(b)), each outstanding vested Option will remain exercisable for ninety (90) days thereafter (but in no event beyond the Option Period); provided, that, in each case, the Option Period will expire immediately
upon the occurrence of a Restrictive Covenant Violation. 
 (d)    Participant’s rights with respect to the Option
will not be affected by any change in the nature of Participant’s employment so long as Participant continues to be an employee of the Company Group. Whether (and the circumstances under which) employment has terminated and the determination of
the Termination Date for the purposes of this Agreement will be determined by the Committee (or, with respect to any Participant who is not a director or Officer, its designee, whose good faith determination will be final, binding and conclusive;
provided, that such designee may not make any such determination with respect to the designee’s own employment for purposes of the Option). 
  

	 	8.	Restrictions on Transfer. 

 (a)    Participant may not
assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Option or Participant’s right under the Option to receive Shares, other than in accordance with Section 14(b) of the Plan. 







 [FOR IPO GRANTS: Participant further hereby agrees that Participant shall, without further action on the part of
Participant, be bound by the provisions of the lock-up letter executed by the executive officers of the Company to the same extent as if Participant had directly executed such
lock-up letter himself or herself. Such lock-up letter will provide that Participant shall not, subject to specified exceptions, dispose of or hedge any shares of common
stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock of the Company during the period from the date of the final prospectus relating to the IPO and continuing through the date 180 days after the date of such
prospectus, except with the prior written consent of the representatives of the underwriters.] 
 9. Repayment of Proceeds; Clawback
Policy. The Option and all proceeds related to the Option are subject to the clawback and repayment terms set forth in Section 14(v) and 14(w) of the Plan and the Company’s clawback policy, as in effect from time to time, to the extent
Participant is a director or Officer. In addition, if a Restrictive Covenant Violation occurs or the Company discovers after a termination of employment that grounds existed for Cause at the time thereof, then Participant will be required, in
addition to any other remedy available (on a non-exclusive basis), to pay to the Company, within ten (10) business days of the Company’s request to Participant therefor, an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate after-tax proceeds (taking into account all amounts of tax that would be recoverable upon a claim of loss for payment of such proceeds in the year of repayment)
Participant received upon the sale or other disposition of, or distributions in respect of, the Option and any Shares acquired in respect thereof over (b) the aggregate Cost (if any) of such Shares. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Cost” means, in respect of any Share, the Exercise Price, to the extent paid by Participant for such Share, as proportionately adjusted for all subsequent distributions on the Shares and other recapitalizations and less the amount
of any distributions made with respect to the Share pursuant to the Company’s organizational documents; provided that Cost may not be less than zero. Any reference in this Agreement to grounds existing for a termination of employment with Cause
will be determined without regard to any notice period, cure period, or other procedural delay or event required prior to finding of or termination with, Cause. 

10. No Right to Continued Employment. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement nor Participant’s receipt of the Option hereunder will
impose any obligation on the Company Group to continue the employment or engagement of Participant. Further, the Company Group may at any time terminate the employment or engagement of Participant, free from any liability or claim under the Plan or
this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. 
 11. Adjustments. The terms of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, (a) the number of Shares subject to the Option and (b) the Exercise Price specified herein, will be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan. 

12. Award Subject to Plan. The Option granted hereunder is subject to the Plan and the terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated into
this Agreement. By accepting the Option, Participant acknowledges that Participant has received and read the Plan and agrees to be bound by the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in the Plan, this Agreement, and the








 
Company’s policies, as in effect from time to time, relating to the Plan. In the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the
applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail. 
 13. Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected by such holding and will continue in full force in accordance with their terms. 

14. Governing Law; Venue; Language. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State
of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. Any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement (or any provision
incorporated by reference), or any judgment entered by any court in respect of any thereof, will be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York or the State of Delaware, and each of Participant, the Company, and any
transferees who hold a portion of the Option pursuant to a valid assignment, hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding, or judgment. Each of Participant, the Company, and any
transferees who hold a portion of the Option pursuant to a valid assignment hereby irrevocably waives (a) any objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware or the State of New York, (b) any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in any inconvenient forum and
(c) any right to a jury trial. If Participant has received a copy of this Agreement (or the Plan or any other document related hereto or thereto) translated into a language other than English, such translated copy is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the English version thereof, and in the event of any conflict the English version will govern. Participant acknowledges that Participant is sufficiently proficient in English to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 15. Successors in Interest. Any successor to the Company will have the benefits of the Company under, and be entitled to enforce,
this Agreement. Likewise, Participant’s legal representative will have the benefits of Participant under, and be entitled to enforce, this Agreement. All obligations imposed upon Participant and all rights granted to the Company under this
Agreement will be final, binding and conclusive upon Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators and successors. 
 16. Data
Privacy Acknowledgement. 
 (a)    General. Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously acknowledges and
agrees to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Option grant materials by and among, as applicable, Participant’s employer or contracting
party (the “Employer”) and the Company for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that the Company may hold certain personal
information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address, email 







 
address and telephone number, work location and phone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, hire date, any
shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards or any other entitlement to shares awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering
and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan (“Personal Data”). 
 (b)    Use of
Personal Data; Retention. Participant understands that Personal Data may be transferred to Fidelity or any other third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, now or in the future, that these
recipients may be located in Participant’s country or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that Participant may request a
list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Personal Data by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the
Personal Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Personal Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement,
administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Participant may, at any time, view Personal Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Personal Data, require any
necessary amendments to Personal Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Participant’s local human resources representative. 

(c)    Withdrawal of Consent. Participant understands that Participant is providing the consents herein on a
purely voluntary basis. If Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke Participant’s consent, Participant’s employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of
Participant’s refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Options or other equity awards to Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that
refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands
that Participant may contact Participant’s local human resources representative. 
 17.    Prior Agreements;
Restrictive Covenants. 
 Participant acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company Group, that
Participant will be allowed access to confidential and proprietary information (including, but not limited to, trade secrets) about those businesses, as well as access to the prospective and actual customers, suppliers, investors, clients and
partners involved in those businesses, and the goodwill associated with the Company Group and accordingly agrees to the provisions of Appendix A to this Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants”). Participant
acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants would be inadequate and the Company Group would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened
breach. In recognition of this fact, Participant agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, Parent and the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to cease








 
making any payments or providing any benefit otherwise required by this Agreement and obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or
permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available. For the avoidance of doubt, the Restrictive Covenants contained in this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other restrictive covenants or similar
covenants or agreements between the Participant and the Company Group. For purposes of this Agreement, “Restrictive Covenant Violation” shall include Participant’s breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants or any similar
provision applicable to Participant. 
 18.    Limitation on Rights; No Right to Future Grants; Extraordinary Item of
Compensation. By accepting this Agreement and the grant of the Option evidenced hereby, Participant expressly acknowledges that (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or
terminated by the Company at any time to the extent permitted by the Plan; (b) the grant of the Option is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and it does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or
benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted in the past; (c) all determinations with respect to future option grants, if any, including the grant date, the number of Shares granted, the exercise price and the exercise date or
dates, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary and not a condition of employment, and Participant may decline to accept the Option without adverse consequences to
Participant’s continued employment relationship with the Company Group; (e) the value of the Option is an extraordinary item that is outside the scope of Participant’s employment contract, if any, and nothing can or must automatically
be inferred from such employment contract or its consequences; (f) Options and any Shares acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose and are not to be used for
calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, Participant waives any claim on such basis and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Option
will not constitute an “acquired right” under the applicable law of any jurisdiction; (g) if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value; (h) if Participant exercises the Option and acquires
Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise Price; and (i) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. In addition, Participant understands,
acknowledges and agrees that Participant will have no rights to compensation or damages related to Option proceeds in consequence of the termination of Participant’s employment for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract.

 19.     Award Administrator. The Company may from time to time designate a third party (an “Award
Administrator”) to assist the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan and any Options granted thereunder, including by sending award notices on behalf of the Company to Participants, and by facilitating
through electronic means acceptance of Agreement by Participants and Option exercises by Participants. 
 20.
    Book Entry Delivery of Shares. Whenever reference in this Agreement is made to the issuance or delivery of certificates representing one or more Shares, the Company may elect to issue or deliver such Shares in book entry
form in lieu of certificates. 







 21.    Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. This Agreement may
be executed electronically and in counterparts. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees
to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. 

22.    Acceptance and Agreement by Participant; Forfeiture upon Failure to Accept. Participant’s rights under
the Option will lapse ninety (90) days from the Date of Grant, and the Option will be forfeited on such date if Participant will not have accepted this Agreement by such date. For the avoidance of doubt, Participant’s failure to accept
this Agreement will not affect Participant’s continuing obligations under any other agreement between the Company and Participant. 

23.    No Advice Regarding Grant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Participant acknowledges
and agrees that the Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying
Shares. Participant is hereby advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding his or her participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. 

24.    Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on
Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Option and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any
additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. 
 25.    Waiver.
Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Participant or any other
participant in the Plan.

 Appendix A 

Appendix A 

Restrictive Covenants 

1.    [Generally. Should the Company repurchase all of the Participant’s Shares or should the Participant
resell to the Company all of his or her Shares, in each case at a time when the Participant is a resident of the State of California, in consideration of the dissolution of the Participant’s interest in the Company and/or payment equal to the
Fair Market Value of such Shares (which Participant acknowledges takes into account the goodwill value of the Company), the Participant agrees to comply with the covenants set forth in the remaining provisions of this Section.]1 
  

	 	2.	Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. 


(a)    Participant acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its
subsidiaries and accordingly agrees as follows: 

(i)    Non-Compete. For the period of one (1) year
after the date the Participant’s Shares are repurchased by or resold to the Company or the Participant forfeits all of the Options (the “Repurchase Date”), or, if earlier, until the date all members of the Company Group (as defined
below) cease to engage in the Competitive Business (as defined below) in the Geographic Area (as defined below), the Participant shall not, within the Geographic Area, directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, finance, or be connected as an
officer, director, employee, partner, agent or consultant with any business or enterprise which, directly or through an affiliated subsidiary organization, provides services or performs any business activities that are competitive with the business,
activities, products or services of the type conducted, authorized, offered, or provided by the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) as of the Repurchase Date, or with
respect to which the Company Group has spent significant time or resources analyzing for the purposes of assessing expansion opportunities by the Company Group, during the twenty-four (24) month period prior to the Repurchase Date (a
“Competitive Business”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Geographic Area” means any state in which any member of the Company Group is maintaining a business office as of the Repurchase Date. 

(ii)    Non-Solicit. For the period of one (1) year
after the Repurchase Date, or, if earlier, until the date all members of the Company Group cease to engage in a Competitive Business in the Geographic Area, the Participant will not, either directly or indirectly: 

(A)     call on or solicit any person, firm, corporation or other entity who or which at the time of such
termination was, or within one year prior thereto had been, a customer or provider of the Company Group within the Geographic Area in connection with any of the business activities referred to above; or 

 

	1 	To be included for California employees. 








 (B)     solicit the employment of any person who was employed
by the Company Group on a full or part time basis as of the Repurchase Date unless such person was involuntarily discharged or voluntarily left his or her employment relationship prior to the Participant’s termination of employment. 

(iii)    Remedies. The Participant acknowledges that the provisions set forth in this Section are
reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries, and that a violation of any of those provisions will cause irreparable harm to the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries.
The Participant acknowledges that any member of the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries may seek injunctive relief for the Participant’s violation of such provisions. The Participant represents that the Participant’s experience
and capabilities are such that the provisions contained in this Section will not prevent the Participant from obtaining employment or otherwise earning a living at the same general level of economic benefit as earned with the Company or its direct
or indirect subsidiaries. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then the
affected provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable law. 

(iv)    Assignment. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend and may be
assigned to any successors of the Company or its director or indirect subsidiaries. 
 (v)    Similar
Provisions. The Participant acknowledges that any other agreement between the Participant and the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries that contains restrictive covenants shall not be superseded by this Agreement, shall remain in full
force and effect in accordance with its terms, and such restrictive covenants shall be in addition to, and not superseded by, the provisions of this Section to the extent the provisions of this Section are applicable to the Participant.
