4.Acknowledgements. 


a.Reasonableness of Covenants. The Employee agrees that it is fair, reasonable and necessary to protect the proprietary interests and value of the Company and the CP Group that the Employee agrees to the obligations and restrictions in this Agreement.

b.Annual Confirmation Process. The Employee agrees to confirm the Employee’s obligations in this Agreement on an annual basis through the Employee’s Shareworks account or any other process that the Company may establish. However, such confirmation is not necessary to enforce Employee's obligations under this Agreement, which continue in full force and effect regardless of any subsequent failure to confirm. 


c.Continuing Confidentiality Obligations. The Employee acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the confidentiality obligations outlined in the Company’s Code of Business Ethics, as may be amended, and any further confidentiality agreements entered into during the Employee's employment with the Company and following the cessation of the Employee's employment for any reason.

Agreement, the Company and the CP Group shall be entitled to injunctive relief.

If the Employee breaches the Agreement within twenty-four (24) months after receiving any payment or benefit under any LTIP grant made on or after the effective date of this Agreement (the “Repayment Period”), the Company shall be entitled to repayment or return of such payment or benefit.

For the purposes of this paragraph, the term market value shall mean the closing price of the shares on the date that the Employee exercises the vested option.


For further clarity, the obligation set out above in this Paragraph 6(b) regarding the Repayment Period shall not be interpreted to extend the Employee’s Covenant Period.

8.Non-Waiver.  The Company's decision to not enforce a breach of any part of this Agreement (or the Company's settlement of any claims for breach) will not prevent the Company from enforcing the Agreement regarding any other breach of this Agreement that the Company discovers, and shall not operate as a waiver against any future enforcement of any part of 








this Agreement, any other agreement with the Employee or any other agreement with any other employee of the Company.
