request to provide, or induce the termination, cancellation or non-renewal of, any USI Business from or by any person, corporation, firm or other entity whose account constituted a Client Account of such USI Company, at any time within the 24

in any management or advisory capacity. In addition, it is also agreed that this Section 7.2 shall not prohibit Executive from serving as a director pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3 during the term of his employment under this
Agreement. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Section 7.2 shall be enforced under the laws and public polices applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular
provision of this Section 7.2 is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable or shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographic scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as
to be enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable laws and such provision shall be deemed modified and amended to the extent necessary to render such provision enforceable in such jurisdiction. If Executive challenges the enforceability of
the provisions of this Section 7.2 in whole or in part, Executive shall, immediately upon such challenge, forfeit any right to any payments and benefits under this Agreement that he has not already received.

7.3. No Hiring.Executive further agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, solicit the employment, consulting or other services of
any other employee or independent producer of any USI Company or otherwise induce any of such employees to leave such USI Companys employment or to breach an employment or independent producer agreement therewith. The restrictions contained in

7.4 Non-disparagement. Subject to obligations under applicable laws and regulations, in the event of a termination of this Agreement,
neither the Executive nor any of the USI Companies or their senior officers or directors, shall publicly make any statements or comments that disparage the reputation of the Executive, or any of the USI Companies or their senior officers or
directors.

9. REMEDIES

9.1. Equitable Relief. Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by him are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to replace such services,
that the material provisions of this Agreement are of crucial importance to the Company and that any damage caused by the breach of Sections 6 or 7 of this Agreement would result in irreparable harm to the business of the Company for which money
damages alone would not be adequate compensation. Accordingly, Executive agrees that if he violates Sections 6 or 7 of this Agreement, the Company shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies of the Company available at law, be entitled to
equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, temporary injunction and permanent injunction.

9.2
Arbitration. The Parties agree that any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to Executives employment hereunder, or the termination of such employment, shall be settled by arbitration before a mutually
selected arbitrator to be held in the State of New York in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The Parties agree that Executives sole remedy for a breach of this Agreement
shall be monetary damages. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators award in any court having jurisdiction, and the Parties consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York for this purpose. The arbitrator shall determine
which Party or Parties shall be entitled to costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) resulting from such dispute or controversy. If such controversy, claim or dispute involves a claim (including, without limitation, claims,
arising under Section 6 or 7) for injunctive or other equitable relief, and suit or cross-claim for such relief is filed in a court of competent jurisdiction, the litigation shall be bifurcated to the extent feasible, to the end that all issues
other than those injunctive or equitable issues required to be determined by the court shall be determined by arbitration as hereinabove required.

10.

from time to time under applicable laws and regulations then in effect.

by any USI Company, that are not set forth expressly in this Employment Agreement. Except as provided for hereinafter, this Agreement supersedes and cancels any prior agreement entered into between Executive and the Company or its predecessors
