You hereby agree that, for so long as such information remains a Trade Secret as defined by Georgia law and/or the law of the United States, you will hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of Delta and will not directly or indirectly make use of, on your own behalf or on behalf of others, any Trade Secret or transmit, reveal or disclose any Trade Secret to any person, concern or entity.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to limit the protections of any applicable law protecting trade secrets. 


(ii) You are notified by the virtue of this provision that federal law provides for immunity from liability for confidential disclosure of a trade secret as defined by federal law that is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney if that disclosure is made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (B) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.


(b) Confidential or Proprietary Information.  You further agree that you will hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of Delta and, during the term of your employment with Delta and after such employment terminates, will not directly or indirectly use or disclose any Confidential or Proprietary Information, as defined hereinafter, that you acquire (whether or not developed or compiled by you and whether or not you were authorized to have access to such Confidential or Proprietary Information) during the term of, in the course of or as a result of your employment with Delta.  Subject to the provisions set forth below, the term “Confidential or Proprietary Information” as used in this Agreement means the following secret, confidential and proprietary information of Delta not otherwise included in the definition of Trade Secret:  all marketing, alliance, advertising and sales plans and strategies; all pricing information; all financial, advertising and product development plans and strategies; all compensation and incentive programs for employees; all alliance agreements, plans and processes; all plans, strategies and agreements related to the sale of assets; all third party provider agreements, relationships and strategies; all business methods and processes used by Delta and its employees; all personally identifiable information regarding Delta employees, contractors and applicants; and all lists of actual or potential customers or suppliers maintained by Delta.  The term “Confidential or Proprietary Information” does not include information that has become generally available to the public by the act of one who has the right to disclose such information.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to limit the protections of any applicable law protecting confidential or proprietary information.  
(c) Employee/Customer Non-Solicitation Agreement.  During the term of your employment with Delta and during the two-year period following the termination of such employment, you will not directly or indirectly (on your own behalf or on behalf of any other person, company, partnership, corporation or other entity) (i) employ or solicit for employment any individual who is a management or professional employee of Delta for employment with any entity or person other than Delta or solicit, encourage or induce any such person to terminate his 
2








or her employment with Delta or (ii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of Delta to cease doing business with Delta or in any way interfere with the relationship between Delta and any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of Delta.

(d) Non-Competition Agreement

 (B) the airlines listed or described below and the related businesses listed on Exhibit 1 hereto are particular competitors to Delta and your employment or consulting with any of the listed or described entities would create more harm to Delta than would your possible employment or consulting with other companies; 
(C) you have been and are closely involved in the planning for or the direction of critical components of Delta’s operation and business and have developed or supplemented your expertise and skills as the result of such activities with Delta, and the use of such skills or disclosure of the details of such skills or knowledge to a competitor of Delta would be detrimental to Delta’s legitimate business interests; and
 (D) the restrictions imposed by this Section 2(d) will not prevent you from earning a livelihood, given both the broad demand for the type of skills you possess as well as the large number of worldwide and domestic passenger and cargo air carriers and related businesses not included in Section 2(d)(ii) or Exhibit 1 hereto.  
(ii) During the term of your employment with Delta and for the two-year period following the termination of such employment, you will not on your own behalf or on behalf of any person, firm, partnership, association, corporation or business organization, entity or enterprise, whether as an employee, consultant, partner or in any other capacity, provide services that are the same or similar to the services of the type conducted, authorized, offered or provided by either you or any other executive, key or professional employee of Delta or any of its subsidiaries/divisions on the Grant Date (or within two years prior to your termination of employment), to:

(Aeromexico), Air France KLM Group, Korean Air Lines Co., LTD or Virgin Atlantic Airways Limited, but shall apply to Campagnia Aerea Italiana S.p.A. (Alitalia); or

(b) Injunctive Relief in Aid of Arbitration; Forum Selection.  You hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in Section 2 are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Delta and that any breach of any of these provisions will result in immediate and irreparable injury to Delta for which monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy.  You further acknowledge that if any such provision is breached or threatened to be breached, Delta will be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other equitable relief in aid of arbitration in any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of posting a bond restraining you from continuing to commit any violation of the covenants, and you hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Georgia, with venue in Atlanta, which shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any claim for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other equitable relief brought against you by Delta in aid of arbitration.

Furthermore, you acknowledge that, in partial consideration for the Award described in the 2020 LTIP and this Agreement, Delta is requiring that you agree to and comply with the terms of Section 2, and you hereby agree that, without limiting any of the foregoing, should you violate any of the covenants included in Section 2, you will not be entitled to and shall not receive any Awards under the 2020 LTIP and this Agreement and any outstanding Awards will be forfeited.  
  (d) Tolling.  You further agree that in the event the enforceability of any of the restrictions as set forth in Section 2 are challenged and you are not preliminarily or otherwise enjoined from breaching such restriction(s) pending a final determination of the issues, then, if an arbitrator finds that the challenged restriction(s) is enforceable, any applicable time period related to the challenged restriction set forth in Section 2 shall be deemed tolled upon the filing of the arbitration or action seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in aid of arbitration, whichever is first in time, until the dispute is finally resolved and all periods of appeal have expired.
