 Exhibit 10.3 

EXECUTION COPY 
 April 7, 2014 

Ms. Kristin A. Dolan 
 Cablevision Systems Corporation

 1111 Stewart Avenue 
 Bethpage, NY 11714 

Dear Kristin: 
 This letter agreement (the
“Agreement”), effective on the date hereof, will confirm the terms of your continued employment by Cablevision Systems Corporation (the “Company”). 

1. Your title will be Chief Operating Officer and you will continue to report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. You agree to continue to
devote your business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company and to perform your duties in a diligent, competent, professional and skillful manner and in accordance with applicable law. As Chief Operating Officer, your role
will include oversight of cable operations (including network management, customer service, field service and logistics) and of Cablevision Media Sales (CMS). In this role, you will also oversee all aspects of service delivery, coordinating all
activities focused on cultivating and securing customer loyalty and providing a seamless customer experience. 
 2. Your current base salary is $1,500,000
annually, paid bi-weekly, subject to annual review and potential increase by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) in its discretion. With respect to the annual review for each
year of the Term, anticipated to be conducted by the Compensation Committee in February or March of each year, the expectation is that you will receive not less than the same percentage increase, if any, in base salary, annual target bonus
opportunity and/or aggregate Long Term Incentive Plan target value that is granted by the Compensation Committee to the Chief Financial Officer, President and Vice Chairmen of the Company, if any (“Similarly Situated Executives”). 

3. You will also continue to participate in our discretionary annual bonus program with an annual target bonus opportunity equal to not less than 200% of your
annual base salary. Bonus payments are based on actual salary dollars paid during the year and depend on a number of factors including Company, unit and individual performance. However, the decision of whether or not to pay a bonus, and the amount
of that bonus, if any, is made by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. Bonuses are typically paid early in the subsequent calendar year. Except as otherwise provided herein, in order to receive a bonus, you must be employed by the
Company at the time bonuses are being paid. 
 4. You will also continue to be eligible, subject to your continued employment by the Company and actual
grant by the Compensation Committee, to participate in such equity and other long-term incentive programs that are made available in the future to Similarly Situated Executives at

the Company. In calendar year 2014, for example, and in each successive year during the Term, you will be entitled to receive one or more long-term cash and/or equity awards with an aggregate
target value of not less than $3,000,000, all as determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. For calendar year 2014, such awards will consist of the $500,000 restricted stock award (the “Existing RSA”) and the $500,000 cash
performance award, each of which was granted to you by the Compensation Committee on March 3, 2014, and an additional $1,000,000 restricted stock award (the “Additional RSA”) and an additional $1,000,000 cash performance award, each
of which was approved by the Compensation Committee on April 7, 2014. The Additional RSA shall be granted as soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement. You hereby agree to enter into an amendment to the Existing RSA to make
the Existing RSA subject to the performance criteria set forth therein. In addition, the Additional RSA shall be subject to the same performance criteria as the Existing RSA. 

Any such awards, in addition to being subject to actual grant by the Compensation Committee, would be pursuant to the applicable plan document and would be
subject to any terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion that would be detailed in separate agreements you would receive after any award is actually made; provided, however that such terms and conditions
shall be consistent with those in awards granted to Similarly Situated Executives. 
 5. You will also continue to be eligible to participate in the
Company’s standard benefits program, subject to meeting the relevant eligibility requirements, payment of the required premiums, and the terms of the plans themselves. We currently offer medical, dental, vision, life, and accidental death and
dismemberment insurance; short- and long-term disability insurance; a savings and retirement program; and ten paid holidays. You will also continue to be eligible for four (4) weeks of vacation to be accrued and used in accordance with Company
policy. You shall be eligible for all perquisites made available to Similarly Situated Executives. 
 6. If your employment with the Company is terminated
prior to December 31, 2017 (the “Scheduled Expiration Date”) (i) by the Company (other than for “Cause”, as defined below); or (ii) by you for “Good Reason”, as defined below (other than if
“Cause” then exists), then subject to your execution and delivery, within 60 days after the date of termination of your employment, and non-revocation (within any applicable revocation period) of the Separation Agreement (as defined
below), the Company will provide you with the following: 
  

	 	(a)	Cash severance in an amount (the “Severance Amount”) equal to two (2) times the sum of your annual base salary and your annual target bonus as in effect at the time your employment terminates. Sixty
percent (60%) of the Severance Amount will be payable to you on the six-month anniversary of the date your employment so terminates (the “Termination Date”) and the remaining forty percent (40%) of the Severance Amount will be
payable to you on the twelve-month anniversary of the Termination Date;

	 	(b)	Any unpaid annual bonus for the calendar year prior to the calendar year which includes your Termination Date, which will be paid to you when such bonuses are generally paid to Similarly Situated Executives and will be
calculated on the same basis as if you remained an active employee at the time of determination and payment of such bonuses, but without adjustment for your individual performance; and a pro rated bonus based on the amount of your base salary
actually earned by you during the calendar year through the Termination Date; provided, however, that such bonus payment, if any, will be payable to you if and when such bonuses are generally paid to Similarly Situated Executives and will be based
on your then current annual target bonus as well as Company and your business unit performance as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, but without adjustment for your individual performance; 


 

	 	(c)	Each of your outstanding long-term cash awards granted under the plans of the Company shall immediately vest in full and shall be payable to you at the same time as such awards are paid to active employees of the
Company and the payment amount of such award shall be to the same extent that other Similarly Situated Executives receive payment as determined by the Compensation Committee (subject to satisfaction of any applicable performance criteria without
adjustment for your individual performance); provided, however, that (i) in the event of a “Going Private Transaction,” as such term is defined in your respective long-term cash performance award agreements, then any more favorable
provisions set forth in such agreements (including with respect to timing of payment) with respect to treatment of outstanding awards in the event of a Going Private Transaction shall be applicable in lieu of the foregoing provisions; and
(ii) for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a “Change of Control,” as such term is defined in your respective long-term cash performance award agreements, your outstanding long-term awards shall be paid to you at the same time as
such awards are paid to active employees of the Company, if such time is earlier than you otherwise would have been paid such awards pursuant hereto; 

  

	 	(d)	 Each of your outstanding restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards granted to you under the plans of the Company shall not be forfeited and
shall continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedule as if your employment had continued through such vesting date and payments or deliveries with respect to your restricted stock and restricted stock units shall be made on the
original vesting date (or, in the case of restricted stock units, on the original distribution date); provided, however, that, at the time of the lapse of the substantial risk of forfeiture with respect to your restricted stock awards, the Company
shall withhold and settle a portion of each of your outstanding restricted stock awards in an amount sufficient to fund the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements (including, federal, state and local income and employment taxes) resulting
from any recognition of income in respect of each such outstanding restricted stock award, and make a payroll tax contribution in such amount on your behalf; provided, further, that (i) in the event of a “Going Private Transaction,”
as such term is defined in your respective award agreements, then any more favorable provisions set forth in such agreements (including with

respect to timing of payment) with respect to treatment of outstanding awards in the event of a Going Private Transaction shall be applicable in lieu of the foregoing provisions; and
(ii) for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a “Change of Control,” as such term is defined in your respective award agreements, your outstanding long-term awards shall be paid to you at the same time as such awards are paid to
active employees of the Company, if such time is earlier than you otherwise would have been paid such awards pursuant hereto; and 

  

	 	(e)	Each of your outstanding stock options and stock appreciation awards under the plans of the Company shall not be forfeited and shall continue to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedule as if your
employment had continued through such vesting date and you shall have the right to exercise each of those options and stock appreciation awards for the remainder of the term of such option or award. 


If you die after a termination of your employment that is subject to this Paragraph 6, your estate or beneficiaries will be provided with any remaining
benefits and rights under this Paragraph 6. 
 7. If you cease to be an employee of the Company as a result of your death or your Disability (as defined in
the Cablevision Long-Term Disability Plan), whether you are a participant thereunder or not, and at such time Cause does not exist then, subject (other than in the case of death) to your (or your authorized representative’s) execution and
delivery, within 60 days after the date of termination of your employment, and non-revocation (within any applicable revocation period) of the Separation Agreement, you or your estate or beneficiary shall be provided with the benefits and rights set
forth in Paragraphs 6(b), (d) and (e) above, and each of your outstanding long-term cash awards granted under the plans of the Company shall immediately vest in full, whether or not subject to performance criteria and shall be payable on
the 90th day after the termination of your employment; provided, that if any such award is subject to any performance criteria, then (i) if the measurement period for such performance
criteria has not yet been fully completed, then the payment amount shall be at the target amount for such award and (ii) if the measurement period for such performance criteria has already been fully completed, then the payment of such award
shall be at the same time and to the extent that other Similarly Situated Executives receive payment as determined by the Compensation Committee (subject to satisfaction of the applicable performance criteria). 

8. For purposes hereof, “Separation Agreement” shall mean the Company’s standard severance agreement (modified to reflect the terms of this
Agreement) which will include, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Paragraphs 6, 7 and 9 hereof and Annex A hereto regarding non-compete (limited to one year), non-disparagement, non-solicitation, confidentiality and further cooperation
obligations and restrictions on you (with Company reimbursement of your associated expenses in connection with any required post-employment cooperation) as well as a general release by you of the Company and its affiliates (and their respective
directors and officers), but shall otherwise contain no post-employment covenants unless agreed to by you. The Company shall provide you with the form of Separation Agreement within seven days of your termination of employment. For avoidance of
doubt, your rights of Indemnification under 








 Ms. Kristin A. Dolan

Article VIII of the Company’s by-laws, under Paragraph 25 of this Agreement and under any insurance policy, or under any other resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, and your
rights under Paragraph 23 hereof shall not be released, diminished or affected by any Separation Agreement or Release or any termination of your employment. 

9. Except as otherwise set forth in Paragraphs 6 and 7 hereof, in connection with any termination of your employment, your then outstanding equity and cash
incentive awards shall be treated in accordance with their terms and, other than as provided in this Agreement, you shall not be eligible for severance benefits under any other plan, program or policy of the Company. 

10. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means your (i) commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation, willful
misconduct, gross negligence or breach of fiduciary duty against the Company or an affiliate thereof, or (ii) commission of any act or omission that results in a conviction, plea of no contest, plea of nolo contendere, or imposition of
unadjudicated probation for any crime involving moral turpitude or any felony. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means that
(1) without your written consent, (A) your annual base salary or annual target bonus (as each may be increased from time to time in the Company’s sole discretion) is reduced, (B) your title (as in effect from time to time) is
diminished, (C) you report directly to someone other than the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, (D) the Company requires that your principal office be located outside of Nassau County or the Borough of Manhattan, (E) the Company
materially breaches its obligations to you under this Agreement, (F) your responsibilities and authority as in effect immediately after the date hereof are thereafter materially diminished, (2) you have given the Company written notice,
referring specifically to this Agreement and definition, that you do not consent to such action, (3) the Company has not corrected such action within 15 days of receiving such notice, and (4) you terminate your employment with the
Company within 90 days following the happening of the action described in subsection (1) above. 
 11. This Agreement does not constitute a guarantee
of employment for any definite period. Your employment is at will and may be terminated by you or the Company at any time, with or without notice or reason. 

12. The Company may withhold from any payment due to you any taxes required to be withheld under any law, rule or regulation. If any payment otherwise due to
you hereunder would result in the imposition of the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), the Company will instead pay you either (i) such amount or (ii) the maximum amount that could
be paid to you without the imposition of the excise tax, depending on whichever amount results in your receiving the greater amount of after-tax proceeds. In the event that the payments and benefits payable to you would be reduced as provided in the
previous sentence, then such reduction will be determined in a manner which has the least economic cost to you and, to the extent the economic cost is equivalent, such payments or benefits will be reduced in the inverse order of when the payments or
benefits would have been made to you (i.e. later payments will be reduced first) until the reduction specified is achieved.

 13. It is intended that this Agreement will comply with Section 409A of the Code (“Section
409A”) to the extent this Agreement is subject thereto, and that this Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. If and to the extent that any payment or benefit under this Agreement, or any plan, award or
arrangement of the Company or its affiliates, constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and is payable to you by reason of your termination of employment, then
(a) such payment or benefit shall be made or provided to you only upon a “separation from service” as defined for purposes of Section 409A under applicable regulations and (b) if you are a “specified employee”
(within the meaning of Section 409A as determined by the Company), such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided before the date that is six months after the date of your separation from service (or your earlier death). Any amount not
paid or benefit not provided in respect of the six month period specified in the preceding sentence will be paid to you, together with interest on such delayed amount at a rate equal to the average of the one-year LIBOR fixed rate equivalent for the
ten business days prior to the date of your employment termination, in a lump sum or provided to you as soon as practicable after the expiration of such six month period. Each payment or benefit provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a
separate payment for purposes of Section 409A to the extent Section 409A applies to such payment. 
 14. To the extent you are entitled to any
expense reimbursement from the Company that is subject to Section 409A, (i) the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year
(except under any lifetime limit applicable to expenses for medical care), (ii) in no event shall any such expense be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you incurred such expense, and
(iii) in no event shall any right to reimbursement be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 
 15. The Company will not take any
action, or omit to take any action, that would expose any payment or benefit to you to the additional tax of Section 409A, unless (i) the Company is obligated to take the action under an agreement, plan or arrangement to which you are a
party, (ii) you request the action, (iii) the Company advises you in writing that the action may result in the imposition of the additional tax and (iv) you subsequently request the action in a writing that acknowledges you will be
responsible for any effect of the action under Section 409A. The Company will hold you harmless for any action it may take or omission in violation of this Paragraph 15, including any attorney’s fees you may incur in enforcing your rights.

 16. It is our intention that the benefits and rights to which you could become entitled in connection with termination of employment be exempt from or
comply with Section 409A. If you or the Company believes, at any time, that any of such benefit or right is not exempt or does not comply, it will promptly advise the other and will negotiate reasonably and in good faith to amend the terms of
such arrangement such that it complies (with the most limited possible economic effect on you and on the Company).

assignable by you. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by your legal representatives. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. 

18. To the extent permitted by law, you and the Company waive any and all rights to a jury trial with respect to any matter relating to this
Agreement (including the covenants set forth in Annex A hereof). This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within that State.

 19. Both the Company and you hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the federal courts of the
United States of America in each case located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement, and each party hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a
defense that either party, as appropriate, is not subject thereto or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate. You and the Company each agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in any manner
as may be permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. 
 20. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written
agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this

 21. You agree to keep
this Agreement and its terms strictly confidential (unless it is made public by the Company); provided; however, that (1) you are authorized to make any disclosure required of you by any federal, state or local laws or judicial proceedings,

tax advisors and immediate family so long as such advisors agree to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement. 
 22. This Agreement reflects the
entire understanding and agreement of you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings or agreements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the prior Employment Agreement between you and
the Company dated as of April 9, 2013. 
 23. This Agreement will automatically terminate, and be of no further force and effect, on the Scheduled
Expiration Date, provided, that, the provisions of Paragraphs 6 through 9, 12 through 23 and Annex A shall survive the termination of the Agreement and remain binding on you and the Company in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that
Paragraphs 2 and 5 of Annex A shall expire on the Scheduled Expiration Date unless your employment has terminated prior to such date, in which case they shall expire as provided in said Paragraphs 2 and 5.

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS 
 (This Annex
constitutes part of the Agreement) 
 You agree to comply with the following covenants in addition to those set forth in the Agreement. 

1. CONFIDENTIALITY 
 You agree to retain in strict confidence and
not divulge, disseminate, copy or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information, other than for legitimate business purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means any non-public
information that is material or of a confidential, proprietary, commercially sensitive or personal nature of, or regarding, the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any current or former director, officer or member of senior management of any of
the foregoing (collectively “Covered Parties”). The term Confidential Information includes information in written, digital, oral or any other format and includes, but is not limited to (i) information designated or treated as
confidential; (ii) budgets, plans, forecasts or other financial or accounting data; (iii) subscriber, customer, fan, vendor or shareholder lists or data; (iv) technical or strategic information regarding the Covered Parties’,
cable, data, telephone, programming, advertising, film production, motion picture exhibition, newspaper, multichannel video data and distribution services or other businesses; (v) advertising, business, sales or marketing tactics and
strategies; (vi) policies, practices, procedures or techniques; (vii) trade secrets or other intellectual property; (viii) information, theories or strategies relating to litigation, arbitration, mediation, investigations or matters
relating to governmental authorities; (ix) terms of agreements with third parties and third party trade secrets; (x) information regarding employees, agents, consultants, advisors or representatives, including their compensation or other
human resources policies and procedures; and (xi) any other information the disclosure of which may have an adverse effect on the Covered Parties’ business reputation, operations or competitive position, reputation or standing in the
community. 
 If disclosed, Confidential Information or Other Information could have an adverse effect on the Company’s standing in the community, its
business reputation, operations or competitive position or the standing, reputation, operations or competitive position of any of its affiliates subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, consultants or agents. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of this paragraph, other than with respect to subscriber information, shall not apply to Confidential
Information which is: 
 a) already in the public domain or which enters the public domain other than by your breach of this Paragraph 1; 

b) disclosed to you by a third party with the right to disclose it in good faith; or 








 Ms. Kristin A. Dolan 

 Page

 c) specifically exempted in writing by the Company from the applicability of this Agreement. 

Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Agreement, you are authorized to make any disclosure required of you by any federal, state and local laws or
judicial, arbitral or governmental agency proceedings, after providing the Company with prior written notice and an opportunity to respond prior to such disclosure. In addition, this Agreement in no way restricts or prevents you from providing
truthful testimony concerning the Company to judicial, administrative, regulatory or other governmental authorities. 
 2. NON-COMPETE 

You acknowledge that due to your executive position in the Company and your knowledge of the Company’s confidential and proprietary information, your
employment or affiliation with certain entities would be detrimental to the Company. You agree that, without the prior written consent of the Company, you will not represent, become employed by, consult to, advise in any manner or have any material
interest in any business directly or indirectly in any Competitive Entity (as defined below). A “Competitive Entity” shall mean (1) any person or entity that competes with any of the Company’s or its affiliates’ cable
television, telephone, on-line data, on-line content, or newspaper businesses or that competes with any of the Company’s or its affiliates’ programming businesses, nationally or regionally or that competes with any other business of the
Company or its affiliates that produced greater than 10% of the Company’s revenues in the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the determination is made; or (2) any trade or professional association representing any of the
companies covered by this paragraph, other than the National Cable Television Association and any state cable television association. For purposes of this Agreement, an affiliate of the Company shall mean an entity that directly or indirectly
controls or is controlled by the Company. An entity shall be deemed to compete with the on-line content business of the Company, or any of its affiliates only if the entity directly competes against the on-line content business of the Company, or
its affiliate; provided, however, that an entity’s business shall not be deemed to directly compete merely by the fact that the business sells ads on-line, unless the business specifically targets such ads to the same customers or potential
customers as being targeted by the on-line content business of the Company, its subsidiary or affiliate; and provided, further, that none of AMC Networks, Inc., The Madison Square Garden Company, any of their respective subsidiaries or any other
entity controlled by Charles F. Dolan and his immediately family members shall be deemed Competitive Entities or (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) affiliates of the Company for purposes of this Paragraph 2. Ownership of not more than 1%
of the outstanding stock of any publicly traded company shall not be a violation of this paragraph. This agreement not to compete will expire upon the one year anniversary of the date of your termination of employment with the Company. 

3. ADDITIONAL UNDERSTANDINGS 
 You agree, for yourself and others
acting on your behalf, that you (and they) have not disparaged and will not disparage, make negative statements about or act in any manner which is intended to or does damage to the good will of, or the business or personal reputations of the
Company or any of its incumbent or former officers, directors, agents, consultants, employees, or successors and assigns. 








 Ms. Kristin A. Dolan

 The Company agrees that, except as necessary to comply with applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock
Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Company’s stock may be traded (and any public statements made in good faith by the Company in connection therewith), it and its corporate officers and directors, employees in its public
relations department or third party public relations representatives retained by the Company will not disparage you or make negative statements in the press or other media which are damaging to your business or personal reputation. In the event that
the Company or any such person so disparages you or makes such negative statements, then notwithstanding the “Additional Understandings” provision to the contrary, you may make a proportional response thereto. 

In addition, you agree that the Company is the owner of all rights, title and interest in and to all documents, tapes, videos, designs, plans, formulas,
models, processes, computer programs, inventions (whether patentable or not), schematics, music, lyrics and other technical, business, financial, advertising, sales, marketing, customer or product development plans, forecasts, strategies,
information and materials (in any medium whatsoever) developed or prepared by you or with your cooperation during the course of your employment by the Company (the “Materials”). The Company will have the sole and exclusive authority to use
the Materials in any manner that it deems appropriate, in perpetuity, without additional payment to you. 
 4. FURTHER COOPERATION 

Following the date of termination of your employment with the Company (the “Expiration Date”), you will no longer provide any regular services to the
Company or represent yourself as a Company agent (it being understood that nothing contained herein shall limit your ability to continue to serve as a director of the Company following such termination or to represent yourself as a director of the
Company during such continued service). If, however, the Company so requests, you agree to cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any matter with which you were involved prior to the Expiration Date, or in any litigation or
administrative proceedings or appeals (including any preparation therefore) where the Company believes that your personal knowledge, attendance and participation could be beneficial to the Company. This cooperation includes, without limitation,
participation on behalf of the Company in any litigation or administrative proceeding brought by any former or existing Company employees, representatives, agents or vendors. The Company will pay you for your services rendered under this provision
at the rate of $6,800 per day for each day or part thereof, within 30 days of approval of the invoice therefor. 
 The Company will provide you with
reasonable notice in connection with any cooperation it requires in accordance with this paragraph and will take reasonable steps to schedule your cooperation in any such matters so as not to materially interfere with your other professional and
personal commitments. The Company will reimburse you for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses you reasonably incur in connection with the cooperation you provide hereunder as soon as practicable after you present appropriate documentation
evidencing such expenses. You agree to provide the Company with an estimate of such expense before you incur the same.

 5. NON-HIRE OR SOLICIT 

You agree not to hire, seek to hire, or cause any person or entity to hire or seek to hire (without the prior written consent of the Company), directly or
indirectly (whether for your own interest or any other person or entity’s interest) any then current employee of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (other than The Madison Square Garden Company or its subsidiaries, AMC
Networks, Inc. or its subsidiaries or any other entity (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) controlled by Charles F. Dolan and his immediate family members), until the first anniversary of the date of your termination of employment with the
Company. This restriction does not apply to any employee who was discharged by the Company. In addition, this restriction will not prevent you from providing references. 

6. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 
 You acknowledge that the restrictions
contained in this Annex A, in light of the nature of the Company’s business and your position and responsibilities, are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company. You acknowledge that the Company has no
adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed if you breach or threaten to breach the provisions of this Annex A, and therefore agree that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief, to prevent any breach or threatened breach of any
of those provisions and to specific performance of the terms of each of such provisions in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy it may have. You further agree that you will not, in any equity proceeding relating to the enforcement of the
provisions of this Annex A, raise the defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law. Nothing in this Annex A shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies at law or in equity that it may have or any other
rights that it may have under any other agreement. If it is determined that any of the provisions of this Annex A or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or scope (geographic or otherwise) of such provision, it is the intention
of the parties that the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, shall be reduced so that such provision becomes enforceable and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. 

7. SURVIVAL 
 The provisions of this Annex A shall survive any
termination of your employment by the Company or the expiration of the Agreement; provided that Paragraphs 2 and 5 of this Annex A shall expire on the expiration of the Agreement unless your employment has terminated prior to such expiration, in
which case they shall expire as provided in said Paragraphs 2 and 5.
