or entity, sell or otherwise provide or solicit the sale or provision of any product, process or service in the Field (as defined below) (“ Product”), that competes directly with my Product of the Employer, to any of the Employer’s

take advantage of or attempt to take advantage of any actual or potential business opportunities of the Employer in which it has a current interest or expectancy (e.g., joint ventures, other business combinations, investment opportunities,
relationships with contractors, customers, suppliers and vendors of the Employer, and other similar opportunities) which the Employee became aware of as the result of and during the Employee’s employment with the Employer. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, this shall not limit the Employee from investing in or serving on the board of directors of any entity that is not in the Field. 
 10.3 Non-competition 
 The Employee
acknowledges and agrees that the Employer’s Confidential Information is an important business asset of the Employer. In addition, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that he has and will continue to play an integral role in the development and
maintenance of goodwill between the Employer and its customers. Accordingly, in order to protect the Employer’s Confidential Information and customer goodwill, the Employee covenants and agrees that (i) during the Employee’s employment
with the Employer, and (ii) for the Post-Termination Period, the Employee shall not knowingly directly or indirectly own an interest in, operate, join, control, advise, consult to, work for, serve as a director or manager of, have a financial

territory or jurisdiction in which the Employer is doing business or is making an active effort to do business during the term of the Employee’s service. This Covenant does not prohibit the Employee from (i) being employed by or acting
as a consultant or otherwise providing services to an employer in the construction industry in general, so long as he personally does not perform any services or otherwise engage in the Field and does not use or disclose any Confidential Information
in connection therewith, or (ii) the mere passive ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of any public corporation as long as the Employee is not otherwise in violation of this Covenant.

 11. ENFORCEMENT OF COVENANTS 
 11.1 Remedies 
 The Employee acknowledges that should he violate any of the covenants contained in
Sections 9 and 10 above (collectively “Covenants”), it will be difficult to determine the resulting damages to the Employer and, in addition to any other remedies the Employer may have, the Employer shall be entitled to seek temporary
injunctive relief without being required to post a bond and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damage. The Employer may elect to seek one or more of these remedies at the Employer’s sole discretion on a case by
case basis. Failure to seek any or all remedies in one case shall not restrict the Employer from seeking any remedies in another situation. Such action by the Employer shall not constitute a waiver of any of the Employer’s rights. 

11.2 Severability and Modification of Any Unenforceable Covenant 
 It is the parties’ intent that each of the Covenants be read and interpreted with every reasonable inference given to its enforceability. However, it is also the parties’ intent that if any term, provision
or condition of the Covenants is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Finally, it is also the parties’
intent that if it is determined that any of the Covenants are unenforceable because of overbreadth, then the Covenants shall be modified so as to make such Covenants reasonable and enforceable under the prevailing circumstances. 
 11.3 Construction 
 Any reference to
the Employer in this Section 11 shall include the Employer and all of its subsidiaries. 
 11.4 Tolling 
 In the event of the breach by the Employee of my Covenant, the running of the period of restriction shall be automatically tolled and suspended for the
amount of time that the breach continues, and shall automatically recommence when the breach is remedied so that the Employer shall receive the benefit of the Employee’s compliance with the Covenants. This Section 11.4 shall not apply to any
period from which the Employer is awarded and receives actual monetary damages for breach by the Employee of a Covenant with respect to which this Section 11.4 applies.

of the employment of Employee, all compensation and benefits set forth in this Agreement shall terminate except as specifically provided in this Section 8: 
  

	 	8.1	Termination by Employer 

 If Employer terminates
Employee’s employment without Cause prior to the Expiration Date, Employee shall be entitled to receive Termination Payments (a) equal to one year of Base Salary, (b) any unpaid Base Salary which has accrued for services already
performed as of the date of termination (“Termination Date”) and any accrued, unused vacation, and (c) unpaid bonus from prior year and unpaid bonus for current year equal to target bonus amount pro rata to the date of termination. If
Employee is terminated by Employer for Cause (as defined in Section 8.4 below), Employee shall not be entitled to receive any of the foregoing benefits, other than those set forth in clause (b) above. 
  

	 	8.2	Termination by Employee 

 (a) If Employee resigns
for Good Reason prior to the Expiration Date, Employee shall be entitled to receive the same termination payments and unpaid annual base salary as provided for in Section 8.1 for a termination without Cause. “Good Reason” means
only any one or more of the following: (1) material breach by Employer of this Agreement, and its failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice from Employee to Employer specifying in reasonable detail the
alleged breach; (2) reduction, without Employee’s consent, of Employee’s salary or reduction or elimination of any compensation or benefit plan benefiting Employee, unless the reduction or elimination of such benefit plan is generally
applicable to all senior executive-level employees (or employees of a successor or controlling entity of Employer) and unless Employer reinstates the compensation or benefit within thirty (30) days after written notice from Employee;
(3) assignment to Employee, without his consent, of duties materially inconsistent with Employee’s position, authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Sections 2 and 3 hereof (or such higher level of position, authority,
duties or responsibilities as are subsequently assigned to Employee), which results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities; or (4) involuntary relocation of Employee’s primary work location by more
than forty-five (45) miles from Employee’s current work location. 
 (b) In the case of the termination of Employee’s
employment by Employee for other than Good Reason, Employee shall not be entitled to any payments hereunder, other than those set forth in clause (b) of Section 8.1 hereof. 
  

	 	8.3	Payment Schedule 

 All payments under this
Section 8 shall be made to Employee at the same interval as payments of salary were made to Employee immediately prior to termination. 
  

 4 

	 	8.4	Cause 

 Wherever reference is made in this Agreement
to termination being with or without Cause, “Cause” shall mean: 
 (a) willful misconduct on the part of Employee that has a
material adverse effect on Employer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; 
 (b) Employee’s engaging in (i) conduct which could
reasonably result in his conviction of a felony or a crime against Employer (ii) conduct involving fraud or moral turpitude, or (iii) substance abuse or other misconduct which would materially compromise Employer’s reputation or
Employee’s ability to perform his duties; 
 (c) unreasonable refusal by Employee to perform the duties and responsibilities of his
position in any material respect, unless Employee cures the refusal within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice specifying in reasonable detail the duties and responsibilities not being performed; or 
 (d) violation of the covenants set forth in Section 10 hereof. 
 No action, or failure to act, shall be considered willful or unreasonable if the Employee did it in good faith and with the reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interests of Employer as
determined by Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors. 
  

	9.	RECORDS AND CONFIDENTIAL DATA 

  

	 	9.1	Acknowledgement. 

 The Employee acknowledges that,
in connection with the performance of his duties for the Employer as an employee under the terms of this Agreement, that the Employer has made and will make available to the Employee, or the Employee will have access to, certain Confidential
Information of the Employer and its affiliates. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that any and all Confidential Information learned or obtained by the Employee during the course of the Employee’s employment by the Employer or otherwise
(including, without limitation, information that the Employee obtained through or in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Employer prior to the date hereof) whether developed by the Employee alone or in conjunction with others or
otherwise, shall be and is the property of the Employer and its affiliates. 
  

	 	9.2	Confidentiality Obligations. 

 The Employee shall at
all times keep all Confidential Information confidential and will not use such Confidential Information other than in connection with the Employee’s discharge of the Employee’s duties hereunder, and will use reasonable efforts to safeguard
the Confidential Information from unauthorized disclosure. This covenant is not intended to, and does not limit in any way the Employee’s duties and obligations to the Employer under statutory and common law not to disclose or make personal use
of the Confidential Information or trade secrets. 
  

 5 

	 	9.3	Return of Confidential Information 

 Promptly, but
no later than five (5) business days following the termination of Employee’s employment with the Employer, the Employee will return to the Employer all written Confidential Information in his possession which has been provided to the
Employee and the Employee will destroy all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by the Employee or for the Employee’s use containing or reflecting any Confidential Information. The Employee shall, upon
written request of the Employer and within five (5) business days of the receipt of such request by the Employee, deliver to the Employer a document certifying that, to the best of his knowledge, such written Confidential Information has been
returned or destroyed in accordance with this Section 9.3. 
  

	 	9.4	Definition 

 For the purposes of this Agreement,
“Confidential Information” shall mean all confidential and proprietary information of the Employer, and any of its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the Employer’s contractor, customer, supplier and vendor lists and
information, marketing strategies, pricing policies or characteristics, product or product specifications, designs, software systems, leasing costs, cost of equipment, business or business prospects, plans, proposals, codes, marketing studies,
research, reports, investigations, trade secrets or other information of similar character. For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include (i) information which is available to the public, (ii) information
obtained by the Employee from third persons other than employees or Employees of the Employer, its subsidiaries, the Employer and the Employer’s affiliates not under agreement to maintain the confidentiality of the same, and
(iii) information which is required to be disclosed by law or legal process. 
  

	10.	ADDITIONAL COVENANTS 

  

	 	10.1	Non-interference with Accounts 

 The Employee
acknowledges and agrees that the Employer’s customers and Confidential Information are important business assets of the Employer. Accordingly, the Employee covenants and agrees that during Employee’s employment with the Employer, and for
one (1) year following termination of Employee’s employment (the “Post-Termination Period”), the Employee shall not directly or indirectly, personally or on behalf of any other person, business, corporation, or entity, sell or
otherwise provide or solicit the sale or provision of any product, process or service in the Field (as defined below) (“Product”), that competes directly with any Product of the Employer, to any of the Employer’s customers
(“Customers”). For purposes of this Agreement, (i) Field shall mean the field of construction, maintenance and other related infrastructure services to electric and/or gas utilities, and (ii) Customers shall mean any customers of
the Employer to or through which the Employer sold or provided any Products during the twelve (12) month period prior to the termination of the Employee’s employment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Employee’s employment by,
representation of, consulting for or otherwise providing services to electric and/or gas utilities, owners or developers of generation, transmission and/or renewable resource facilities, architect/engineering companies and/or 

  

 6 

 
equipment manufacturers (collectively, “Permitted Service Recipients”) shall not constitute selling or otherwise providing or soliciting the sale
or provision of any product or service or otherwise engaging in the Field, provided that the activities of the Permitted Service Recipients do not compete directly with any Product of Employer. 
  

	 	10.2	No Diversion 

 The Employee covenants and agrees
that (i) during the Employee’s employment with the Employer, and (ii) for the Post-Termination Period, the Employee shall not intentionally divert or attempt to divert or take advantage of or attempt to take advantage of any actual or
potential business opportunities of the Employer in which it has a current interest or expectancy (e.g., joint ventures, other business combinations, investment opportunities, relationships with contractors, customers, suppliers and vendors
of the Employer, and other similar opportunities) which the Employee became aware of as the result of and during the Employee’s employment with the Employer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, this shall not limit the
Employee from investing in or serving on the board of directors of any entity that is not in the Field. 
  

	 	10.3	Non-competition 

 The Employee acknowledges and
agrees that the Employer’s Confidential Information is an important business asset of the Employer. In addition, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that he has and will continue to play an integral role in the development and maintenance of
goodwill between the Employer and its customers. Accordingly, in order to protect the Employer’s Confidential Information and customer goodwill, the Employee covenants and agrees that (i) during the Employee’s employment with the
Employer, and (ii) for the Post-Termination Period, the Employee shall not knowingly directly or indirectly own an interest in, operate, join, control, advise, consult to, work for, serve as a director or manager of, have a financial interest
in, or participate in any corporation, partnership, proprietorship, firm, association, person, or other entity that engages (or engaged) in the Field (“Employer Activities”). This Covenant applies to Employer Activities in any territory or
jurisdiction in which the Employer is doing business or is making an active effort to do business during the term of the Employee’s service. This Covenant does not prohibit the Employee from (i) being employed by or acting as a consultant
or otherwise providing services to an employer in the construction industry in general, so long as he personally does not perform any services or otherwise engage in the Field and does not use or disclose any Confidential Information in connection
therewith, or (ii) the mere passive ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of any public corporation as long as the Employee is not otherwise in violation of this Covenant. 
  

	 	10.4	Non-recruitment 

 The Employee agrees that the
Employer has invested substantial time and effort in assembling its present workforce. Accordingly, the Employee covenants and agrees that during 

  

 7 

 
Employee’s employment with the Employer and for the Post-Termination Period, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly entice or solicit any of the
Employer’s employees or contractors to leave their employment or engagement with the Employer. 
  

	11.	ENFORCEMENT OF COVENANTS 

  

	 	11.1	Remedies 

 The Employee acknowledges that should he
violate any of the covenants contained in Sections 9 and 10 above (collectively “Covenants”), it will be difficult to determine the resulting damages to the Employer and, in addition to any other remedies the Employer may have, the
Employer shall be entitled to seek temporary injunctive relief without being required to post a bond and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damage. The Employer may elect to seek one or more of these remedies at the
Employer’s sole discretion on a case by case basis. Failure to seek any or all remedies in one case shall not restrict the Employer from seeking any remedies in another situation. Such action by the Employer shall not constitute a waiver of any
of the Employer’s rights. 
  

	 	11.2	Severability and Modification of Any Unenforceable Covenant 

 It is the parties’ intent that each of the Covenants be read and interpreted with every reasonable inference given to its enforceability. However, it is also the parties’ intent that if any term, provision or condition of the
Covenants is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Finally, it is also the parties’ intent that if it
is determined that any of the Covenants are unenforceable because of overbreadth, then the Covenants shall be modified so as to make such Covenants reasonable and enforceable under the prevailing circumstances. 
  

	 	11.3	Construction 

 Any reference to the Employer in this
Section 11 shall include the Employer and all of its subsidiaries. 
  

	 	11.4	Tolling 

 In the event of the breach by the Employee
of any Covenant, the running of the period of restriction shall be automatically tolled and suspended for the amount of time that the breach continues, and shall automatically recommence when the breach is remedied so that the Employer shall receive
the benefit of the Employee’s compliance with the Covenants. This Section 11.4 shall not apply to any period for which the Employer is awarded and receives actual monetary damages for breach by the Employee of a Covenant with respect to
which this Section 11.4 applies. 
  

 8 

	12.	NOTICE AND CURE OF BREACH 

 Whenever a breach of
this Agreement by either party is relied upon as justification for any action taken by the other party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the party asserting the breach of this Agreement shall give the other party at least (30) thirty
days’ prior written notice of the existence and the nature of such breach before taking further action hereunder and shall give the party purportedly in breach of this Agreement the opportunity to correct such breach during the 30-day period.
