disclosure (including efforts to secure a judicial order to such effect), and shall limit his disclosure of such Confidential Information to the minimum disclosure required by such process, law or exchange. Xykis acknowledges that all documents and
other property including or reflecting Confidential Information furnished to Xykis by the Company or any Company Affiliate or otherwise acquired or developed by the Company or any Company Affiliate or acquired, developed or known by Xykis by reason

interest, Moral Rights or similar rights with respect thereto. Xykis hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest to the foregoing inventions, concepts, ideas and materials. This Section 6(d) does not apply
to any invention or other work of Xykis for which no equipment, supplies, facility or Confidential Information of the Company was used and that was developed entirely on Xykis’s own time, unless the invention (A) relates to (x) the
Business or (y) the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (B) results from any work performed by Xykis for or on behalf of the Company. Xykis shall keep and maintain adequate and current written
records of all inventions, concepts, ideas and materials made by Xykis (jointly or with others) during the term of Xykis’s association or employment with the Company. Such records shall remain the property of the Company at all times. Xykis
shall promptly and fully disclose to the Company the nature and particulars of any Inventions or research project undertaken on the Company’s behalf. 

7. Enforcement and Remedies. 

(a) If, at the time of enforcement of any of Sections 6(a),(b), (c) or (d), a court of competent jurisdiction
shall hold that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the court shall be allowed to substitute the maximum legally-permissible restrictions for the restrictions contained in
this Agreement. 
 (b) Xykis acknowledges that the provisions of Section 6 are in consideration of
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. Xykis expressly agrees and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Section 6 do not preclude Xykis from earning a
livelihood, nor do they unreasonably impose limitations on Xykis’s ability to earn a living. In addition, Xykis agrees and acknowledges that the Company and the Company Affiliates are engaged in the Business, the Business is highly competitive
and the services to be performed by Xykis for the Company are unique and national in nature, and the potential harm to the 

  
 9 












 
Company and the Company Affiliates of the non-enforcement of the provisions of this Section 7 outweighs any harm to Xykis of the
enforcement of such provisions by injunction or otherwise. Xykis acknowledges that Xykis has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Xykis by this Agreement and is in full accord as to their
necessity. Xykis expressly acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained herein are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the Confidential Information and the goodwill of the businesses
of the Company and the Company Affiliates, and Xykis agrees not to challenge the validity or enforceability of the restrictions contained herein. The parties hereto expressly agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for breaching any
provision of Section 6, and that the Company would be irreparably damaged if Xykis were to disclose the Confidential Information, solicit or hire employees, solicit customers or provide services to any person or entity in
violation of the provisions of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any such provision, the Company and/or any Company Affiliate or their respective successors or assigns shall be entitled to, in addition to
other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without the necessity
of posting a bond or other security, or proving economic harm). 
 8. Post Termination Obligations.

return to the Company, and shall not retain in any form or media of expression, all Company and Company Affiliate property that is then in Xykis’s possession, custody or control, including, without limitation, all keys, access cards, credit

Xykis will certify in writing, in a form acceptable to the Company, that Xykis has returned all Company and Company Affiliate property, including any Confidential Information and copies thereof.

11. Code Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or
are exempt from Code Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance with or exempt from Code Section 409A; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be
liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Xykis by Code Section 409A. 
 12. Xykis
Representations. In connection with entering into this Agreement, Xykis represents and warrants to the Company that: 

(a) This Agreement and each of the other agreements contemplated hereby constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
Xykis, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery of this Agreement and such other agreements by Xykis does not and shall not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Xykis
is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Xykis is subject. 
 (b) Xykis has consulted with independent legal
counsel regarding his rights and obligations under this Agreement and fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein. Xykis has obtained advice from persons other than the Company and its counsel regarding the tax effects of the
transaction contemplated hereby. 
 (c) In signing this Agreement, Xykis gives the Company assurance that Xykis has carefully
read and considered all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the restraints imposed under Section 6 and the remedies provided under Section 7. 

13. General Provisions.

 (b) Complete Agreement. This Agreement fully amends and restates any
existing employment agreement between or among the Xykis and the Company or any Company Affiliate. Further, this Agreement embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings,
representations or other agreements by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not supersede, preempt, modify or amend Xykis’s
rights or obligations under any Stock Appreciation Rights or Restricted Stock Agreement entered into between Xykis and Company.

of Illinois (regardless of its conflict of laws principles). Each party hereto irrevocably submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Illinois located in Cook County, Illinois and to the jurisdiction of the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, for the purpose of bringing any action that may be brought in connection with the provisions hereof. Each party hereto individually agrees not to assert any claim that such party is not
subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the venue is improper, that the forum is inconvenient or any similar objection, claim or argument. 

(e) Survival. The provisions set forth in Sections 5 through 13 shall survive and continue in full force and effect in
accordance with their terms notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement and/or the end of the Employment Period and the termination of Xykis’s employment for any reason.
