 This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”) is executed and delivered as of the Grant Date by and between Knight Capital Group,
Inc. (the “Company”) and the Grantee. The Grantee and the Company hereby agree as follows: 
  

	1.	 	The Company, pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2009 Inducement Award Plan (the "Plan"), which is incorporated herein by reference, and subject to the terms and conditions
thereof, hereby grants to the Grantee the above mentioned Stock Units. 

  

	2.	 	Except as set forth in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, on the date which the restrictions applicable to the Stock Units shall lapse (each such period, a “Restricted
Period”) as set forth above, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee, for each Stock Unit on which such restriction lapsed, a share of Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company (“Shares”). 

  
 All restrictions imposed on Stock Units shall lapse upon the expiration of
the Restricted Period applicable to such Stock Units (as indicated above). 
  

	3.	 	Except as otherwise provided in Grantee’s Offer Letter of Employment Agreement, as applicable, with an affiliated entity of the Company, if the Grantee's employment with, or
provision of services to, the Company shall terminate for any reason other than such Grantee's death, disability or Retirement while Stock Units are subject to a Restricted Period, all Stock Units held by the Grantee still subject to a Restricted
Period shall be forfeited upon such termination. In the event of the Grantee's death, disability or Retirement, the restrictions and forfeiture conditions applicable to the Stock Units shall lapse, and the Stock Units shall be deemed fully vested in
accordance with the terms of the Plan. 

  

	4.	 	In the event of a Change-In-Control (as defined in the Plan), the restrictions and forfeiture conditions applicable to the Stock Units shall lapse, and the Stock Units shall be
deemed fully vested in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2 of this Agreement, to the extent required to avoid the imposition of additional taxes and penalties under Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code, if such Change-In-Control does not constitute a change in ownership or control of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee, for each Stock
Unit on which the restrictions lapsed as a result of the Change-In-Control, Shares on such date that the Grantee would have received Shares under this Agreement in respect of the applicable Stock Units absent the occurrence of the Change-In-Control.

	5.	 	The Stock Units shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares or other change in capitalization with a similar
substantive effect upon the Plan, the Shares, or the Stock Units. The Committee shall have the power and sole discretion to determine the nature and amount of the adjustment to be made, if any. Any adjustment so made shall be final and binding.

  

	6.	 	The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided below) and no voting rights, with respect to the Stock Units
and any Shares underlying or issuable in respect of such Stock Units until such Shares are actually issued to and held of record by the Grantee. Notwithstanding the above, upon the payment of any Stock Unit subject to the Award pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company shall pay the Grantee an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of the ordinary cash dividends (if any) paid by the Company on a Share for which the related dividend payment record date(s) occurred on or after the date
the Award was granted and on or before the date such Stock Unit became vested pursuant to the terms hereof (the right to receive such payment is referred to herein as a “Dividend Equivalent Right”). For purposes of clarity, no interest
shall accrue with respect to the period between the dividend payment record date and the date of payment of any Dividend Equivalent Rights, and no Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be paid with respect to any Stock Units that terminate pursuant to
Section 3. 

  

	7.	 	The Company shall withhold all applicable taxes required by law from all amounts paid in respect of the Stock Units upon the vesting of, or lapse of restrictions on, or payment
of, any or all of the Stock Units. The Grantee may satisfy the withholding obligation by paying the amount of any taxes in cash or, with the approval of the Committee, shares of stock may be deducted from the payment to satisfy the obligation in
full or in part. The amount of the withholding and the number of shares to be deducted shall be determined by the Committee with reference to the Fair Market Value of the stock when the withholding is required to be made. 

 

	8.	 	Except with the consent of the Committee, no Stock Units shall be assignable or transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution while such Stock Units
remain subject to a Restricted Period. 

  

	9.	 	Nothing herein shall obligate the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company to continue the Grantee’s service for any particular period or on any particular
basis of compensation. 

  

	10.	 	The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares or cash in respect of Stock Units granted under this Agreement is specifically subject to all provisions of the Plan and all
applicable laws, rules, regulations and governmental and stockholder approvals. 

  

	11.	 	Any notice by the Grantee to the Company hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given only upon receipt thereof by the Company at its principal offices. Any
notice by the Company to the Grantee shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if mailed to the Grantee at the address last specified to the Company by the Grantee. 

  

	12.	 	The grant of Stock Units herein is not enforceable until this Agreement has been signed by the Grantee and the Company. By executing this Agreement, the Grantee shall be deemed
to have accepted and consented to any action taken under the Plan by the Committee, the Board or its delegates. 

  

	13.	 	No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the parties hereto. 

  

	14.	 	The validity and construction of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 

  

 2 

	15.	 	This Agreement, together with the Plan, sets forth all of the promises, agreements, conditions, understandings, warranties and representations between the parties hereto
regarding the Stock Units, and there are no promises, agreements, conditions, understandings, warranties or representations, oral or written, express or implied, between them regarding the Stock Units other than as set forth herein or therein. This
Agreement is made under and subject to the provisions of the Plan, and all of the provisions of the Plan are also provisions of this Agreement. If there is a difference or conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the
Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. 

  

	16.	 	The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") to the extent subject
thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and be administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid
accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the Grantee shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement and no payment shall be due to the Grantee under this
Section 3 of this Agreement until the Grantee would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any payments described in this Plan that are due
within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the
Plan, to the extent that any Awards are payable upon a separation from service and such payment would result in the imposition of any individual excise tax and late interest charges imposed under Section 409A of the Code, the settlement and
payment of such Awards shall instead be made on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following such separation from service (or death, if earlier). 

  
 By signing this Agreement, the Grantee accepts and agrees to all of the foregoing terms
and provisions and to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan incorporated herein by reference and confirms that he has received a copy of the Plan. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by a duly authorized representative and the Grantee has hereunto set his hand
as of the Grant Date.

 EXECUTION COPY 
  
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

“Employee”) and Libertas Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”). 
  
 RECITALS 
  
 WHEREAS, Knight Capital Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Knight/Trimark, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), the
Company and New Libertas Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the sole member and the Managing Member of the Company (the “Seller”) have entered into an Interest Purchase Agreement, dated May 5th, 2008 whereby
the Seller agrees to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Seller, all of the outstanding interests of the Company (the “Purchase Agreement”); 
  
 WHEREAS, following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Purchase Agreement, the Company will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Knight Capital Group, Inc. (Knight Capital Group, Inc. or its successor is hereinafter referred to as “Knight”); 
  
 WHEREAS, this Agreement is being entered into in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and as an inducement to the Company entering into the Purchase Agreement; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Employee as an officer of the Company, and the Employee desires to be so employed, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto intending to be legally
bound hereby agree as follows; 
  

	1.	 	Employment. 

  

	 	a.	 	Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company hereby agrees to employ the Employee, and the Employee hereby agrees to serve as Senior Managing Director,
Head of Global Institutional Fixed Income, reporting to Thomas Joyce, or his successor to the position of Chief Executive Officer of Knight (the “Knight Officer”). The Employee agrees to perform such services commensurate with his
position, including, but not limited to duties that are assigned to him from time to tune in the sole reasonable discretion of the Knight Officer. The Employee further agrees to promote the interests of the Company and to devote substantially all of
his business time and energies and skill to the business and affairs of the Company in accordance with the lawful directions and orders of the Knight Officer or as may be assigned by the Knight Officer from time to time. 

  

	 	b.	 	 The Employee further agrees that during the Employment Term (as defined below in Section 2). without the prior written consent of the Company (such
consent to be in the Company’s reasonable discretion), he will not be and will not become, directly or indirectly, associated with any entity other than the Company (as a partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, employee,
trustee or consultant or in any other material relationship or capacity). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee will be permitted to (i) with the prior written consent of the Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), serve as a director or officer of trade associations, civic, educational, religious or charitable organizations, and for other businesses, if such function is not prohibited by the terms of

	 	 
Section 6 below and (ii) own, solely as a passive investment, a non-controlling interest in any person or entity, if such ownership is not prohibited by the terms of
Section 6 below (the interest of the Employee in any such person or entity includes any interests “beneficially owned” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by the Employee and his
affiliates and members of his family). The Company hereby consents to the Employee engaging in the activities set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, provided that such activities do not interfere in any material respect with the
Employee’s ability to perform services under this Agreement. 

  

	2.	 	Employment Term.    The Employee’s employment with the Company will commence upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and will end on the date which is three years after the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated as provided herein (the “Initial Term”); provided, however, that on
each anniversary of the Effective Date following the expiration of the Initial Term, the term of employment hereunder shall be automatically extended for successive one-year periods unless either the Company or the Employee provides the other party
with written notice not to extend the term of this Agreement at least thirty (30) days prior to such anniversary. The period of time between the Effective Date and the termination of the Employee’s employment hereunder shall be referred to
herein as the “Employment Term.” 

  

	3.	 	Compensation and Other Related Matters. 

  

	 	a.	 	Base Salary.    As compensation for the services rendered by the Employee hereunder, the Company will pay to the Employee during the Employment Term
compensation at a rate of not less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) per annum, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular* payroll practices. Notwithstanding the above, with respect to any calendar year in which the
Employee is employed by the Company for only a portion of such year, the Annual Base Salary shall be pro-rated accordingly. The Employee‘s base salary may be increased, but not decreased below its then current level, from time to time. The base
salary as determined herein from time to time shall constitute “Annual Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement. 

  

	 	b.	 	 Annual Bonus.    With respect to each full year during the Employment Term, the Employee shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus
award (an “Annual Bonus”), payable in a combination of cash and equity in accordance with Knight‘s then-current compensation policy at the time of payment; provided that in no event shall the value of the equity portion
of the Annual Bonus consist of more than 25% of the total value of the Annual Bonus at the time of payment. The equity portion of the Annual Bonus will consist of an award of restricted shares of Knight common stock or restricted share units based
on Knight common stock and shall be subject to the terms of the applicable award agreement and the equity plan underlying it and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall vest as to one-third (1/3rd) of the total grant on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant provided that the Employee is
employed by the Company on each vesting date (the “Bonus Shares”). For each year of the Initial Term, the Employee’s Annual Bonus shall have an aggregate value of no less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) (the equity
portion, if any, of such bonus shall be valued as of the date of grant), provided that the Employee remains employed by the Company through the bonus payment date (except as otherwise provided in Section 5 hereof}. Any Annual Bonus payable
hereunder shall be paid no later than March 15th of the calendar year
following the calendar year to which such Annual Bonus relates. Notwithstanding the above, at the sole request of the Employee, any Annual Bonus payable during the Initial Term shall be forfeited, provided that the Employee provides such request to
the Company by September 30 of the year preceding the year in which the Annual Bonus is to be paid. 

  

	 	c.	 	Other Employment Benefits.    During the Employment Term, the Employee will be entitled to health and welfare, retirement, vacation, and other benefits
provided to similarly situated employees of the Company in accordance with Knight’s policies as in effect from time to time. 

  

 2 

	 	d.	 	Expenses.    During the Employment Term, the Employee will be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement from the Company of all travel, entertainment
and out-of-pocket expenses which are reasonably and necessarily incurred by the Employee in the performance of his duties hereunder; provided, that the Employee properly accounts therefor hi accordance with the Company’s policies as hi

of the following events (the “Termination Date”): 

  

	 	a.	 	The death of the Employee. 

  

	 	b.	 	The Employee’s failure, due to physical or mental injury, illness or incapacity, to perform the duties assigned to him and the services to be performed by him at the level
previously performed by the Employee for a period of three (3) consecutive months or for a non-consecutive period of six (6) months within any twelve (12) month period (any such event, a “Disability”).

  

	 	c.	 	The mutual agreement between, the Company and the Employee on an early termination date. 

  

	 	d.	 	The termination of employment by the Company’s action without Cause effective thirty (30) calendar days following the receipt of written notice by the Employee of the
Company’s desire to end the employment relationship. The Company, in its sole discretion, may require the Employee to continue with the full-time duties of the Employee’s position during all or part of the thirty (30) calendar day
period; provided, however, that the Company is under no obligation to provide the Employee with work during such period and may exclude the Employee from the premises of the Company during all or part of such period.

  

	 	e.	 	The termination of employment by the Company for Cause, subject to the provisions of this Section 4 below. 

  

	 	f.	 	The termination of employment by the Employee for Good Reason following the receipt of written notice by the Company of the Employee’s desire to terminate the employment,
which such notice must provide a reasonably detailed explanation of the Good Reason and must be provided to the Company within sixty (60) days of the event constituting Good Reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the
opportunity to cure such Good Reason within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice. Any such termination shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a termination by the Company without Cause. 

  

	 	g.	 	The termination of employment by the Employee without Good Reason following the receipt of written notice by the Company of the Employee’s desire to terminate the employment

governmental regulatory body that is adverse to the Company in any material respect or adversely affects the Employee’s ability to perform his duties under this Agreement in any material manner.

Knight in the ordinary course of business), (ii) a material diminution in the Employee’s Base Salary or other compensation or employee benefits, (iii) a material diminution in the Employee‘s duties, authorities or
responsibilities, (iv) a change in the reporting structure applicable to the Employee so that the Employee no longer reports to Thomas Joyce or a successor to the position of Chief Executive Officer, or (v) the Company’s material

without Good Reason, any Annual Bonus earned but unpaid with respect to the fiscal year ending on or preceding the date of termination, payable entirely in cash in accordance with the payment provisions of Section 3(h) hereof, (v) except

actual bonus paid for services performed in the year prior to the year of tennination, payable entirely in cash within thirty (30) days following termination, and (vi) all other payments, benefits or fringe benefits to which the Employee
shall be entitled under the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement or benefit, equity or hinge benefit plan or program or grant or this Agreement. 

  

	 	b.	 	Severance 

  

	 	i.	 	If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by reason of death or Disability) or by the Employee for Good Reason during the
Employment Term, subject to the Employee executing within forty-five days following the Termination Date and not revoking a release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the
“Release”), the Employee shall be entitled to receive the following, in addition to the benefits described in Section 5(a) hereof: 

  

	 	(I)	Subject to the provisions of Section 5(b)(v) hereof, in the case of amounts in excess of the Separation Pay Limit to the extent that the Separation Pay Limit is applicable,
a lump sum payment equal to the greater of (x) one times the Employee’s Annual Base Salary or (y) the Annual Base Salary that would have been paid to the Employee for the remainder of the Employment Term had the Employee not
experienced a termination of employment, payable no later than the sixtieth day following termination. 

  

	 	(II)	Subject to the Employee’s timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”)
and the Employee’s continued copayment of premiums at the same level and cost to the Employee as if the Employee were an employee of the Company (excluding, for purposes of calculating cost, an employee’s ability to pay premiums with
pre-tax dollars), continued participation in the Company’s group health plan (to the extent permitted under applicable law and the terms of such plan) which covers the Employee for a period of twelve (12) months at the Company’s
expense, provided that the Employee is eligible and remains eligible for COBRA coverage. 

  

 4 

	 	(III)	Subject to the provisions of Section 5(b)(v) hereof, in the case of amounts in excess of the Separation Pay Limit to the extent that the Separation Pay Limit is applicable,
a lump sum cash payment equal to the fair market value (calculated based on the average of the high and low prices of a share of Parent common stock on the NASDAQ National Market on the Termination Date) of the unvested portion of the
Employee’s Bonus Shares, payable no later than the sixtieth day following termination. 

  

	 	ii.	 	If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, if the Employee decides to terminate his employment with the Company without Good Reason, or if the
Employee’s employment is terminated as a result of death or Disability, the Company has no obligation to provide any payment other than the payments set forth in Section 5(a) above. 

  

	 	iii.	 	The payments referred to in this Section 5 constitute the exclusive payments due the Employee upon termination under this Agreement, including any payment which may
otherwise be payable pursuant to any other separation or severance policy established or maintained by Knight or the Company. In no event shall the Employee be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the
amounts payable to the Employee under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor shall the amount of any payment hereunder be reduced by any compensation earned by the Employee as a result of employment by a subsequent employer. In addition, the
Company’s obligation to make any severance payment provided for herein shall not be subject to set-off, counterclaim or recoupment of amounts owed by the Employee to the Company or its affiliates under this Agreement or otherwise.

  

	 	iv.	 	The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated
thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. If the Employee notifies the Company (with specificity as to
the reason therefor) that the Employee believes that any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity compensation or benefits) would cause the Employee to incur any additional tax or interest under Code
Section 409A and the Company concurs with such belief or the Company (without any obligation whatsoever to do so) independently makes such determination, the Company shall, after consulting with the Employee, timely reform such provision to try
to comply with Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Code Section 409A and, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, to maintain the original intent and economic
benefit to the Employee and the Company. The Company shall have no obligation to reform the Agreement to the extent it is determined by the parties hereto that, following the determination that such a modification would be appropriate, it was not
possible to reform the Agreement to comply with Code Section 409A, and in such case, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any tax on behalf of the Employee associated with the failure of any payment or benefit hereunder to comply with
Code Section 409A. 

  

	 	v.	 	 A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or
benefits subject to Code Section 409A upon or following a tennination of employment unless such tennination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of
this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” If the Employee is deemed on the date of tennination to be a “specified employee”
within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment

  

 5 

	 	 
or the provision of any benefit that is specified as subject to this Section or that is otherwise considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A payable on account of a
“separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date which is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the
Employee, and (B) the date of the Employee’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 5fb)(v) (whether they would have
otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Employee in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in
accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Separation Pay Limit” shall mean, two (2) times the lesser of (i) the Employee’s annualized compensation
based on the Employee’s annual rate of pay for the taxable year of the Employee preceding the taxable year in which the Employee has a “separation from service,” and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a
tax qualified plan pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) for the year in which the Employee incurs a “separation from service.” 

  

	6.	 	Employee Covenants.    The Employee acknowledges that the covenants in this Section 6 are an essential element of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and a fundamental inducement to Knight to enter into the Purchase Agreement and the Company to enter into this Agreement. The Employee’s employment related to the Company has and will require that the
Employee have access to, and knowledge of, “Confidential Information” (as defined below in Section 6(a)). The disclosure of any Confidential Information could place Knight and the Company at a serious competitive disadvantage
and could do serious damage, financial or otherwise, to Knight and the Company. The Employee also has been and will continue to be given access to, and has developed and will continue to develop relationships with, customers of the Company. Knight
and the Company have made, and will continue to make, substantial investments in the development of the Company’s good will and in the professional development, training and opportunities of the Employee. The capital expended to develop this
good will directly benefits the Employee and other capital investments to be made by Knight and the Company to assist in the Employee’s professional development will confer a direct economic benefit on the Employee. Knight, the Company and the
Employee acknowledge and agree that the Company provided the Employee with access to customers and confidential information related to the Company, as well as training related to the Company. Knight, the Company, and the Employee further acknowledge
and agree that the Company will provide the Employee with access to the Company’s customers and Confidential Information, and that the Company will provide the Employee with training related to the Company. 

  

	 	a.	 	Confidentiality/Non-Disclosure.    The Employee acknowledges that: (i) the business of the Company is intensely competitive and that the
Employee’s employment by the Company will require, that the Employee have access to and knowledge of confidential information of the business of the Company, including, but not limited to, business and marketing plans, membership lists,
strategies, customer information, other information concerning the Company’s services, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices and other trade secrets (the “Confidential Information”);
(ii) the direct and indirect disclosure of any such Confidential Information would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage and would do damage, monetary or otherwise, to the Company’s business; (iii) the Confidential
Information constitutes a trade secret of the Company; and (iv) the engaging by the Employee in any of the activities prohibited by this Section 6 may constitute improper misappropriation and/or use of such information and trade
secrets. Accordingly, the Company and the Employee agree that during the Employment Term and at all times after the 

  

 6

	 	c.	 	 Non-Compete.    At all times during the Employee’s employment with the Company, and for a period of one year following the
Employee’s termination of employment for any reason (the “Non-Compete Period”), the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, control or participate in the ownership, management or control of, or be employed by
or act as a consultant to or otherwise be affiliated in any manner with, any “Competitive Business” (as defined below in this Section 6(c)) in the “Restricted Area” (as defined below in this Section 6(c));

be paid or provided hereunder, the “Non-Compete Compensation” (as defined below); provided, however, the Company may, in its sole discretion elect to not pay the Employee the

  

 7 

	 	 
Non-Compete Compensation in which case the Employee shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 6(c). The “Non-Compete Compensation" shall be an amount
equal to the Employee’s Annual Bonus paid in respect of services performed for the year prior to the Termination Date (but in no event less than $1,000,000), pro-rated for the portion of the post-termination Non-Compete Period that does not
overlap with the period during which the Employee is subject to a non-competition restriction under the Purchase Agreement. 

  

	 	d.	 	Non-Solicitation; No Hire. 

  

	 	i.	 	For the Non-Compete Period, the Employee shall not, for the purposes of providing any product or service of a type substantially similar to any of the those provided by the
Company, directly or indirectly solicit, on behalf of any person or entity, any customer, supplier or vendor of the Company or the Seller with which the Employee has contact as part of the Employee’s job responsibilities during the twelve
(12) month period prior to the termination of the Employee’s employment. 

  

	 	ii.	 	For the Non-Compete Period, the Employee will not, for the Employee or on behalf of another person, directly or indirectly (a) solicit, encourage, entice or induce the
employment of any person if such person is then employed by the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or (b) hire any employee or consultant who has left the employment of, or consulting with, the Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company within twelve (12) months of the tennination of such employee’s employment or consultancy with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. 

  

	 	iii.	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 6(d) shall not be violated by (1) general advertising or solicitation not specifically targeted at
Company-related persons or entities, or (II) actions taken, without the knowledge of the Employee, by any person or entity with which the Employee is associated provided that the Employee is not involved in any maimer in the solicitation and has not
identified such Company-related person or entity for soliciting or hiring. 

  

	 	e.	 	Remedy.    The Employee further agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 6 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the
Company for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law; the Employee therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to
prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Employee and/or any and all persons and/or entities acting for and/or with the Employee, without having to prove damages, and to all costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs, in addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity. The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or
threatened breach hereof, including but not limited to the recovery of damages from the Employee. 

  

	 	f.	 	Non-Exclusivity; Survival.    The covenants and obligations of Employee contained in this Section 6 are in addition to, and not in lieu of,
any covenants and obligations which Employee may have with respect to the subject matter hereof including under the Purchase Agreement, whether by contract, as a matter of law or otherwise, and such covenants and obligations, and their
enforceability shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the Employment Term and any investigation made with respect to the breach thereof by the Company at any time, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Employee
against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements of this Section 6. 

  
  

 8 

	 	g.	 	Enforceability.    The Company and the Employee intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce this Section 6 upon the courts of any
jurisdiction within the geographical scope of the restrictions set forth herein. If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the restrictions wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the
intention of the Company and the Employee that such determination not bar or in any way affect the Company‘s right to relief provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of such restrictions, with
breaches of such restrictions in such other jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants. 

  

	 	h.	 	Severability.    If any court determines that any of the provisions of this Section 6, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable,
the remainder of the provisions herein shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions. 

  

	 	i.	 	Blue-penciling.    If it is ever held that the any of the provisions of this Section 6 are too onerous and is not necessary for the
protection of the Company, each party to this Agreement agrees that any court of competent jurisdiction may impose lesser restrictions which such court may consider to be necessary or appropriate to properly protect the other party or parties
hereto. 

  

	7.	 	Acknowledgments.    The Employee understands that the provisions of Section 6 may limit his/her ability to earn a livelihood in a business
similar to the business of the Company but nevertheless agrees and hereby acknowledges that (i) such provisions do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company;
(ii) such provisions contain reasonable limitations as to time, geography and the scope of activity to be restrained; and (iii) the consideration provided under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the confidential and
proprietary information and training provided to the Employee by the Company in connection with his employment with the Company, the notice period provided in Section 2, the Employee’s access to customers of the Company,
Knight’s willingness to enter into the Purchase Agreement, and any amounts or benefits provided under Sections 3 and 5 hereof, are sufficient to compensate the Employee for the restrictions contained in Section 6 hereof. In
consideration of the foregoing and in light of the Employee’s education, skills and abilities, the Employee agrees that he will not assert, and it should not be considered, that any provisions of Section 6 prevented him from earning
a living or otherwise are void, voidable or unenforceable or should be voided or held unenforceable. Each of the covenants and agreements of Section 6 is given by the Employee as part of the consideration for this Agreement and the
Purchase Agreement and as an inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement and accept the obligations hereunder. 

  

	8.	 	Prior Obligations.    The Employee represents, warrants, and covenants that he will respect any and all obligations which he may now have to prior
employers or others relating to confidential information, inventions, discoveries, or documents and will not disclose to the Company, use, or induce the Company to use, any confidential information, inventions, discoveries, or documents of others.

  

	9.	 	Effectiveness.    This Agreement shall not become effective unless and until the date and time when the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement are consummated in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (such date is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”). If the Purchase Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing Date or if the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are not consummated for any reason, this Agreement shall be deemed invalid and of no force and effect.
