 WHEREAS, on November 15, 2008, Mr. Scott notified the Company of his intent to retire as President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company effective on the close of business on January 31, 2009; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ
Mr. Scott through January 31, 2011, as described herein, and Mr. Scott wishes to continue such employment, on the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Agreement; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and sufficient consideration, the sufficiency of which the parties acknowledge, the parties agree as follows: 

 

	 	1.	Employment. 

  

	 	a)	Mr. Scott shall remain President and Chief Executive Officer of Wal-Mart through January 31, 2009, and beginning February 1, 2009, he will remain a Wal-Mart Associate
through January 31, 2011, at which time he will separate from service, unless the term of this Agreement is extended in writing by agreement of the parties. While employed with Wal-Mart, Mr. Scott shall: 

  

	 	(i)	be available on a full-time basis for consultation and advice to Wal-Mart’s management and the Board of Directors (the “Board”); 

  

	 	(ii)	consult with Wal-Mart on strategic matters, including proposed mergers and acquisitions; 

  

	 	(iii)	be available to travel, domestically and internationally, and to tour stores and clubs with senior management and members of the Board for consultation and advice, as well as with
other Wal-Mart associates in aid of associate development; 

  

	 	(iv)	at Wal-Mart’s request, Mr. Scott shall represent Wal-Mart at external meetings and speaking engagements; 

  

	 	(v)	serve at the Board’s discretion as the Chair of the Executive Committee; as a member of the Stock Option Committee, the US MIP Committee, the International MIP Committee; and
any other committee (or predecessor of such committee) at the Board’s request, so long as he continues to serve on the Board; and 

  

	 	(vi)	be allowed to provide service on external boards, subject to compliance with the Company’s policies, the Board’s charters and guidelines and applicable agreements.

  

	 	b)	In the second year of this Agreement, Mr. Scott will reasonably reduce his hours, will be permitted to work remotely, and will begin a deliberate transition plan to reduce his
participation on external boards as a representative of Wal-Mart, speaking engagements on behalf of Wal-Mart, and internal management committees. 

  

	 	2.	Compensation. Subject to compliance with the terms, provisions, and conditions of this Agreement, Mr. Scott shall receive the following compensation during his
employment: 

  

	 	a)	Base Salary. Beginning on February 1, 2009 (“fiscal 2010”), Mr. Scott’s annual base salary shall be $1,100,000, which will be paid through
Wal-Mart’s regular payroll; 

  

	 	b)	Incentive Payments. Mr. Scott will be eligible to receive his full incentive payment under the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”) for
the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009, but will not be entitled to an incentive payment for fiscal 2010 or any fiscal year thereafter; 

	 	c)	Future Equity Grants. Mr. Scott will not receive any future equity grants under the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan of 2005 (the “SIP”);

  

	 	d)	Current Equity Grants. All unvested equity under the SIP will continue to vest as scheduled during employment, except as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	Performance Shares. Mr. Scott shall forfeit 25 percent of the 208,508 target performance shares he received on January 22, 2007, 25 percent of the 55,608 target
performance shares he received on March 26, 2007, and 50 percent of the 299,496 target performance shares he received on January 21, 2008. The remaining performance shares under those grants shall be subject to the SIP; notices of award,
as applicable; and the performance metrics for those grants approved by the Compensation, Nominating, and Governance Committee of the Board (the “CNGC”). 

  

	 	(ii)	Restricted Stock. It has been Wal-Mart’s policy to recommend to the CNGC, or appropriate Board Committee, to accelerate restricted stock grants that are scheduled to
vest when an associate reaches 65 years of age, upon an orderly retirement from Wal-Mart. Similarly, with respect to Mr. Scott’s retirement from Wal-Mart on January 31, 2011, his restricted shares scheduled to vest at age 65 shall be
accelerated to vest on February 1, 2011, so long as Mr. Scott: 

  

	 	(1)	remains employed with Wal-Mart through January 31, 2011; 

  

	 	(2)	extends his covenant not to compete with Wal-Mart, defined in the Non-Competition Agreement and the Amendment and referred to in Section 3 of this Agreement, until
March 14, 2016; and 

  

	 	(3)	executes and delivers a release and waiver of claims upon his separation of service, as described in Section 4 of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(iii)	Unvested Equity. All equity, other than as described in this Section 2(d), that vests after January 31, 2011, shall be forfeited; and 

  

	 	e)	Other Payments and Benefits. As a Wal-Mart associate, Mr. Scott will be entitled to participate in Wal-Mart-sponsored plans and programs (except as limited by Sections
2(a) through (d) immediately above) on the same basis as other Wal-Mart associates, similarly situated, through January 31, 2011. Unless otherwise provided for in the plans and programs, Mr. Scott’s participation in all
Wal-Mart-sponsored benefit plans or programs will end on January 31, 2011. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the CNGC from increasing compensation, awarding equity, or providing other benefits during Mr. Scott’s
employment, if deemed necessary and in the best interests of Wal-Mart. 

  

	 	3.	Prior Agreement. Subject to the modifications set forth herein, Mr. Scott and Wal-Mart reaffirm their respective obligations as set forth in the Special Stock Option

and all state or local statutes, ordinances, or regulations, as well as all claims arising under federal, state, or local law involving wrongful discharge, intentional infliction of emotional distress, the tort of outrage, or any other contract or
tort claims. 

  

	 	b)	Limitation of Release. Nothing herein shall limit or impede Mr. Scott’s right to file or pursue an administrative charge with, or participate in, any investigation
before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, any federal or state agency, to file a claim for unemployment compensation benefits, and/or any causes of action which by law he may not legally waive. Mr. Scott agrees, however, that if he or
anyone acting on his behalf, brings any action concerning or related to any cause of action or liability released in this Agreement, Mr. Scott waives any right to, and will not accept, any payments, monies, damages, or other relief, awarded in
connection therewith. 

  

	 	5.	Confidential Information. Mr. Scott agrees that he will not at any time directly or indirectly use or disclose any confidential information obtained during the
course of his employment with Wal-Mart, except when previously authorized by Wal-Mart in writing. “Confidential Information” means information designated as such by Wal-Mart pertaining to the business of Wal-Mart, and includes,
without limitation, trade secrets obtained by Mr. Scott during the course of, or as a result of, Mr. Scott’s employment with Wal-Mart, including, without limitation, information regarding processes, suppliers (including the terms,
conditions, or other business arrangements with suppliers), advertising and marketing plans and strategies, profit margins, seasonal plans, goals, objectives, projections, compilations, and analyses regarding Wal-Mart’s business, salary,
staffing, compensation, promotion, diversity objectives and other employment-related data, and any know-how, techniques, practices or non-public technical information regarding the business of Wal-Mart. On or prior to his separation from
service, Mr. Scott shall return to Wal-Mart all documentation, programs, software, equipment, statistics, and other written business materials concerning Wal-Mart and any competitor of Wal-Mart. Mr. Scott acknowledges that the
obligations set out herein with respect to Confidential Information will remain in effect for a period of seven (7) years following his separation from service, or until such time as the Confidential Information becomes public other than
through publication by Mr. Scott. 

  

	 	6.	Cooperation. Mr. Scott may from time to time after his separation from service be called upon to testify or provide information to Wal-Mart in connection with
employment-related and other legal proceedings against Wal-Mart. Mr. Scott will provide reasonable assistance to, and will cooperate with, Wal-Mart in connection with any litigation, arbitration, or judicial or non-judicial administrative
proceedings that may exist or may subsequently arise regarding events about which Mr. Scott has knowledge. Mr. Scott agrees to resign from any boards of directors, boards of managers, and similar governing boards of any Wal-Mart
entities of which he may be a member, and to sign any documents acknowledging such resignations, as may be requested by Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart will compensate Mr. Scott for reasonable travel expenses and other expenses incidental to any such
cooperation provided to Wal-Mart, based upon mutually agreeable terms and conditions to be negotiated by the parties. 

  

	 	7.	Non-disparagement and Non-solicitation. After his separation from service, Mr. Scott shall not directly or indirectly: a) make disparaging comments regarding
Wal-Mart, its business strategies and operations, and any of Wal-Mart’s officers, directors, associates, and shareholders; or b) solicit any current associate working for Wal-Mart to leave his or her employment, or to provide names or referrals
of current Wal-Mart associates to any third party including recruiters, “headhunters” or others, either official or unofficial, seeking to hire, place or refer for employment. 

  

	 	8.	 Statement of Ethics. Mr. Scott has read and understands the provisions of Wal-Mart’s Statement of Ethics. Mr. Scott acknowledges that he has
complied with the applicable Statement of Ethics during his employment. The discovery of a failure to abide by the Statement of Ethics, whenever discovered, shall 

  

 3 

	 	 
entitle Wal-Mart to suspend and recoup any payments paid or due under this Agreement or any other agreements between the parties.

  

	 	9.	Advice of Counsel. Mr. Scott has been advised, and by this Agreement is again advised, to consider this Agreement carefully and to review it with legal counsel of his
choice. Mr. Scott understands the provisions of this Agreement and has been given the opportunity to seek independent legal advice before signing this Agreement. 

  

	 	10.	Taxes. Mr. Scott acknowledges and agrees that he is responsible for paying all taxes and related penalties and interest on his income. Wal-Mart will withhold taxes,
including from amounts or benefits payable under this agreement, and report them to tax authorities, as it determines it is required to do. Wal-Mart has not warranted to Mr. Scott that taxes and penalties will not be imposed under
Section 409A. Mr. Scott will indemnify Wal-Mart and hold it harmless with respect to all such taxes, penalties, and interest (other than FICA taxes imposed on Wal-Mart with respect to Mr. Scott’s income).

  

	 	11.	Remedies for Breach. With respect to any breach of this Agreement by Mr. Scott, he agrees to indemnify and hold Wal-Mart harmless from and against any and all loss,
cost, damage, or expense, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees incurred by Wal-Mart and to return immediately to Wal-Mart all of the monies previously paid to Mr. Scott by Wal-Mart under this Agreement; provided, however, that
such repayment shall not constitute a waiver by Wal-Mart of any other remedies available under this Agreement or by law, including injunctive relief. 

  

	 	12.	Miscellaneous. 

  

	 	a)	Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreement and the Amendment, as modified by this Agreement, together contain the entire agreement and understanding
of the parties, and no prior statements by either party will be binding unless contained in this Agreement or incorporated by reference in this Agreement. In addition, to be binding on the parties, any handwritten changes to this Agreement must be
initialed and dated by Mr. Scott and the authorized representative of Wal-Mart whose signature appears below. 

  

	 	b)	Severability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, the parties agree that the remaining portions will remain in full force
and effect. The parties will negotiate in good faith to give such unenforceable or invalid provisions the effect the parties intended. 

  

	 	c)	Section Titles. Section titles are informational only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement. 

  

	 	d)	Successors and Assigns. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement will be binding on their respective permitted successors, assigns, and heirs. Neither party may assign
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. 

  

	 	e)	Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. The parties agree that this Agreement, the Non-Competition Agreement and the Amendment will be construed pursuant to, and governed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law. The parties agree that they will first attempt to resolve any disputes arising under this Agreement through good faith negotiations, that any litigation
hereunder shall be brought in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas or a state court of competent jurisdiction in Benton County, Arkansas, and that venue and jurisdiction in those courts shall be proper.

under Section 409A whether there has been a “separation from service” with the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (or any successor regulation), the Executive shall be deemed to have incurred a separation from
service if his employment has been terminated in accordance with Sections 6.1 through Section 6.6 hereof and he is performing less than 20% of the average level of bona fide services he was performing for the Company in the immediately
preceding 36-month period (“Separation From Service”). 
 6.1. Termination Due to Death. In the event of the Executive’s
death, the Executive’s estate or his legal representative, as the case may be, shall be entitled to: (a) any Base Salary earned but unpaid as of the date of death and Base Salary continuation through the end of the month in which the
Executive’s death occurs; (b) a pro-rata payment for the year of the Executive’s death equal to the “target” Bonus plus the matching incentive under the AIMSPP (the “Total Award”) for such year multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator which is the number of days transpired in the calendar year up to and including the date of the death of the Executive, and the denominator of which is 365; (c) immediate payment of any unpaid expense reimbursements and
unused accrued vacation days through the date of the Executive’s death; and (d) any other payments and/or benefits which the Executive, the Executive’s estate or the Executive’s legal representative is entitled to receive under
any of the Benefit Plans, the AIMSPP, the SERP or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such plan or arrangement. 
  

 -6- 

 6.2. Termination Due to the Executive’s Disability. Upon 30 days prior written notice to the
Executive, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder due to Disability. In such event, the Executive or his legal representative, as the case may be, shall be entitled to: (a) any Base Salary earned but unpaid as of
the date of the Executive’s termination due to Disability and Base Salary continuation through the end of the month in which such termination occurs; (b) a pro-rata payment for the year of termination equal to the Total Award under the
AIMSPP for such year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days transpired in the calendar year up to and including the date on which the Executive is terminated by the Company due to Disability, and the denominator of
which is 365, payable within 30 days following the date the Separation From Service occurs; (c) immediate payment of any unpaid expense reimbursements and unused accrued vacation days through the date of the Separation From Service; and
(d) any other payments and/or benefits which the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative is entitled to receive under any of the Benefit Plans, the AIMSPP, the SERP or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such plan or
arrangement. 
 6.3. Termination Without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason Prior to Change in Control. Prior to a Change in
Control and upon 10 days prior written notice to the Executive, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause. Prior to a Change in Control and upon 30 days prior written notice to the Company, the Executive may
terminate his employment hereunder with the Company for Good Reason. In either such event (unless the Executive has incurred a termination under Section 6.1 or 6.2 above), the Executive shall be entitled to, upon execution and effectiveness of
a release in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A and upon resignation by the Executive from the Board: (a) Base Salary earned but unpaid as of the date of the Executive’s termination; (b) a lump sum payment equal to
two times Base Salary plus two times the Total Award under the AIMSPP for the year in which any such termination occurs; (c) continuation of medical benefits in effect as of the date of termination for a period of two years following the
date of termination at the Company’s sole expense and, following the expiration of this coverage period, COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s medical plan for 18 months in accordance with applicable law at the Executive’s
sole expense provided that the Executive is not enrolled in another group health plan; provided that to the extent that the foregoing medical benefits are deemed to be a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A,
the provision of such benefits will be subject to the second sentence of Section 5.6; (d) immediate payment of any unpaid expense reimbursements and unused accrued vacation days through the date of termination; and (e) any other
payments and/or benefits which the Executive is entitled to receive under any of the Benefit Plans, the AIMSPP, the SERP or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such plan or agreement. In the event the Executive intends to terminate his
employment with the Company for Good Reason pursuant to this Section 6.3 or Section 6.4, such prior written notice shall be given to the Company no later than 90 days after the date on which the Executive first becomes aware of the
existence of the condition giving rise to Good Reason, and shall specify the particular act or acts, or failure to act, which is or are the basis for the Executive’s decision to so terminate his employment for Good Reason. The Company shall be
given 30 days after such notice to correct such act or failure to act. Upon failure of the Company, within such 30 day period, to correct such act or failure to act, the Executive may proceed to terminate his employment with the Company and such
termination will constitute a termination by the Executive for Good Reason, provided the Executive terminates employment 

  

 -7- 

 
with the Company no later than 30 days following the expiration of the Company’s cure period. The payments and benefits described in Sections
6.3(b)-(c) will be paid, or will begin to be paid or provided, as applicable, after the applicable release review period and revocation period have expired, and as if the Executive signed the release on the last day of the release review
period. 
 In the event that a Change in Control occurs within six months following the Executive’s termination of employment under this
Section 6.3, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the additional payments and benefits to which he would be entitled had his employment terminated following a Change in Control under Section 6.4 below. 
 6.4. Termination Without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason After a Change in Control. During the thirty-six (36) month period
immediately following a Change in Control and upon 10 days prior written notice to the Executive, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause. During the thirty-six (36) month period immediately following a
Change in Control and upon 30 days prior written notice to the Company, the Executive may terminate his employment hereunder with the Company for Good Reason. In either such event (unless the Executive has incurred a termination under
Section 6.1 or 6.2 above), the Executive shall be entitled to, upon execution and effectiveness of a release in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A and upon resignation by the Executive from the Board: (a) Base Salary
earned but unpaid as of the date of the Executive’s termination; (b) a lump sum payment equal to three times Base Salary plus three times the Total Award under the AIMSPP for the year in which any such termination occurs;
(c) continuation of medical benefits in effect as of the date of termination for a period of three years following the date of termination at the Company’s sole expense and following the expiration of this coverage period, COBRA
continuation coverage under the Company’s medical plan for 18 months in accordance with applicable law at the Executive’s sole expense provided that the Executive is not enrolled in another group health plan; provided that to the extent
that the foregoing medical benefits are deemed to be a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, the provision of such benefits will be subject to the second sentence of Section 5.6; (d) immediate
payment of any unpaid expense reimbursements and unused accrued vacation days through the date of termination; and (e) any other payments and/or benefits to which the Executive is entitled to receive under any of the Benefit Plans, the AIMSPP,
the SERP or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such plan or arrangement. The payments and benefits described in Sections 6.4(b)-(c) will be paid, or will begin to be paid or provided, as applicable, after the applicable release review
period and revocation period have expired, and as if the Executive signed the release on the last day of the release review period. 
 6.5.
Termination For Cause. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.5, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause. In such event, the Executive shall be entitled to: (a) any Base Salary earned but unpaid
through the date of termination; (b) immediate payment of any unpaid expense reimbursements and unused accrued vacation days through the date of termination; and (c) any other payments and/or benefits to which the Executive is entitled to
receive under any of the Benefit Plans, the AIMSPP, the SERP or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such plan or arrangement. In any case described in this Section 6.5, the Executive shall be given written notice authorized by a vote of
at least a majority of the members of the Board that the Company intends to terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause. Such written notice shall specify the particular act or acts, or failure to 

  

 -8- 

 
act, which is or are the basis for the decision to so terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause. Executive shall be given 30 days after such notice
to cure such act or failure to act to the satisfaction of the Board. Upon failure of the Executive, within such 30 day period, to correct such act or failure to act, the Executive shall be deemed terminated for Cause. 
 6.6. Termination Without Good Reason. Upon 30 days prior written notice to the Company, the Executive shall have the right to terminate his
employment hereunder without Good Reason or any reason at all. In such event, the Executive shall be entitled to: (a) any Base Salary earned but unpaid through the date of termination; (b) immediate payment of any unpaid expense
reimbursements and unused accrued vacation days through the date of termination; and (c) any other payments and/or benefits to which the Executive is entitled to receive under any of the Benefit Plans, the AIMSPP, the SERP or otherwise in
accordance with the terms of such plan or arrangement. 
 6.7. Certain Other Payments. If the Executive is liable for the payment of
any excise tax (the “Basic Excise Tax”) pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor or like provision, with respect to any payment or property transfers received or to be received under this Agreement or otherwise, the
Company shall pay the Executive an amount (the “Special Reimbursement”) which, after payment by the Executive (or on the Executive’s behalf) of any federal, state and local taxes, including, without limitation, any further excise tax
under said Section 4999, with respect to or resulting from the Special Reimbursement, equals the net amount of the Basic Excise Tax. The Special Reimbursement shall be paid as soon as possible after it is determined by the Company or the
Executive and reviewed for accuracy by the Company’s certified public accountants, but in all events no later than the last day of the calendar year after the calendar year in which the applicable Basic Excise Tax is paid. 
 6.8. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or elsewhere, if the Executive is a “specified
employee” as determined pursuant to Section 409A as of the date of the Executive’s Separation From Service and if any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement or otherwise both (x) constitutes a “deferral of
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and (y) cannot be paid or provided in the manner otherwise provided without subjecting the Executive to additional tax, interest or penalties under Section 409A, then any such
payment or benefit that is payable during the first six months following the Executive’s Separation From Service shall be paid or provided to the Executive in a cash lump-sum, without interest, on the first business day of the seventh calendar
month following the month in which the Executive’s Separation From Service occurs. In addition, any payment or benefit due upon a termination of the Executive’s employment that represents a “deferral of compensation” within the
meaning of Section 409A shall only be paid or provided to the Executive upon a Separation From Service (as defined above). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6 or elsewhere, any payment or benefit under this
Section 6, or otherwise, that is exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Final Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A) or (C) shall be paid or provided to the Executive only to the extent that the expenses are not incurred, or the
benefits are not provided, beyond the last day of the second taxable year of the Executive following the taxable year of the Executive in which the Separation From Service occurs; and provided further that such expenses are reimbursed no later than
the last day of the third taxable year following the taxable year of the Executive in which the Separation From Service occurs. Additionally, for the purposes of this Agreement, amounts 

  

 -9- 

 
payable under Section 6 shall be deemed not to be a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in the
exceptions in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) (“short-term deferrals”) and (b)(9) (“separation pay plans,” including the exception under subparagraph (iii)) and other applicable provisions of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1 through A-6. 
 7. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the
Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan, policy or program provided or maintained by the Company and/or any Affiliate and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit
or otherwise prejudice such rights as the Executive may have under any other existing or future agreements with the Company and/or any Affiliate, including, without limitation, any stock option agreements or plans; provided, however, that any
severance compensation and benefits described in Sections 6.1 through 6.4 supersedes any other severance payment for which the Executive may be eligible under the Company’s standard severance plan. Therefore, the Executive acknowledges and
agrees that he is not eligible to receive any severance payment under the Company’s standard severance plan. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plans or programs of the Company
and/or any Affiliate at or subsequent to the date of termination shall be payable in accordance with such plans or programs. Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall be under no obligation to establish or maintain any such plan, policy or
program. 
 8. Successors. 
 8.1. The Executive. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and, without the prior express written consent of the Company, shall not be assignable by the Executive, except that the Executive’s rights to receive any
compensation or benefits under this Agreement may be transferred or disposed of pursuant to testamentary disposition, intestate succession or pursuant to a domestic relations order. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
the Executive’s heirs, beneficiaries and/or legal representatives. 
 8.2. The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the Company and its respective successors and assigns. 
 The Company shall require any successor to all or
substantially all of its business and/or assets, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock, or otherwise (the “Company’s Successor”), by an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 
 9. Restrictive Covenants. 
 9.1. Non-Solicitation. During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not (except on the Company’s behalf), directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm, partnership, corporation or other
entity, (a) solicit or service the business of any of the Company’s or its Affiliates’ clients, any of the Company’s or its Affiliates’ former 

  

 -10- 

 
clients which were clients within twelve months prior to the termination of his employment as chief executive officer or any of the prospective clients which
were being actively solicited by the Company or its Affiliates at the time of the termination of his employment, as chief executive officer or (b) attempt to cause or induce any employee of the Company or its Affiliates to leave the Company or
the Affiliate. 
 9.2. Non-Competition. During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, within or with
respect to the United States of America engage, without the consent of the Company, in any business or activity, whether as an employee, consultant, partner, principal, agent, representative, stockholder or in any other capacity, or render any
services or provide any advice to any business, activity, person or entity which competes with any PET packaging business; provided, however, that the Executive’s ownership of not more than 5% of the stock of any publicly-traded corporation
shall not be a violation of this Section 9.2. By agreeing to this contractual modification prospectively at this time, the parties intend to make this provision enforceable under the law(s) of all applicable states so that the entire agreement
not to compete and/or this Agreement as prospectively modified shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be rendered void or illegal. Such modifications shall not affect the payments made to the Executive under this Agreement. The
Executive acknowledges that his skills are such that he can be gainfully employed in noncompetitive employment and that the agreement not to compete will in no way prevent him from earning a living. The Executive understands and agrees that the
rights and obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall extend beyond the Term of Employment. 
 9.3. Confidentiality. The
Executive shall not, during the Term of Employment and at any time thereafter, without the prior express written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, divulge, disclose or make available or accessible any Confidential Information (as
defined below) to any person, firm, partnership, corporation, trust or any other entity or third party (other than when required to do so in good faith to perform the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement or when
(a) required to do so by a lawful order of a court of competent jurisdiction, any governmental authority or agency, or any recognized subpoena power, or (b) necessary to prosecute the Executive’s rights against the Company or its
Affiliates or to defend himself against any allegations). In addition, the Executive shall not create any derivative work or other product based on or resulting from any Confidential Information (except in the good faith performance of his duties
under this Agreement). The Executive shall also proffer to the Board’s designee, no later than the effective date of any termination of his employment as chief executive officer with the Company for any reason, and without retaining any copies,
notes or excerpts thereof, all memoranda, computer disks or other media, computer programs, diaries, notes, records, data, customer or client lists, marketing plans and strategies, and any other documents consisting of or containing Confidential
Information that are in the Executive’s actual or constructive possession or which are subject to his control at such time. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information respecting the business
and activities of the Company, or any Affiliate of the Company, including, without limitation, the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the clients, customers, suppliers, employees, consultants, computer or other files, projects, products,
computer disks or other media, computer hardware or computer software programs, marketing plans, financial information, methodologies, know-how, processes, practices, approaches, projections, forecasts, formats, systems, data gathering methods
and/or strategies of the Company or any Affiliate. 

  

 -11- 

 
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Confidential Information shall not include any information that is, or becomes, generally available to
the public (unless such availability occurs as a result of the Executive’s breach of any portion of this Section 9.3). 
 9.4.
Ownership of Inventions. Each Invention (as defined below) made, conceived or first actually reduced to practice by the Executive, whether alone or jointly with others, during the term of Executive’s employment with the Company and each
Invention made, conceived or first actually reduced to practice by the Executive, whether alone or jointly with others, within one year after the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company which relates in any way to work performed
for the Company during the term of Executive’s employment, shall be promptly disclosed in writing to the Board. Such report shall be sufficiently complete in technical detail and appropriately illustrated by sketch or diagram to convey to one
skilled in the art of which the invention pertains, a clear understanding of the nature, purpose, operations, and, to the extent known, the physical, chemical, biological or other characteristics of the Invention. As used in this Agreement,
“Invention” means any invention, discovery or innovation with regard to any facet of the Company’s business whether or not patentable, made, conceived, or first actually reduced to practice by Executive, alone or jointly with others,
in the course of, in connection with, or as a result of service as an employee of the Company, including any art, method, process, machine, manufacture, design or composition of matter, or any improvement thereof. Each Invention, as herein defined,
shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. The Executive agrees to execute an assignment to the Company or its nominee of the Executive’s entire right, title and interest in and to any Invention, without compensation beyond that
provided in this Agreement. The Executive further agrees, upon the request of the Company and at its expense, that the Executive will execute any other instrument and document necessary or desirable in applying for and obtaining patents in the
United States and in any foreign country with respect to any Invention. The Executive further agrees, whether or not the Executive is then an employee of the Company, to cooperate to the extent and in the manner reasonably requested by the Company
in the prosecution or defense of any claim involving a patent covering any Invention or any litigation or other claim or proceeding involving any Invention covered by this Agreement, but all expenses thereof shall be paid by the Company. 

9.5. Injunctive Relief. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company will have no adequate remedy at law, and would be irreparably
harmed, if the Executive breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of this Section 9 of this Agreement. The Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to equitable and/or injunctive relief to prevent any breach or
threatened breach of this Section 9, and to specific performance of each of the terms of such Section in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies that the Company may have. The Executive further agrees that he shall not, in any equity
proceeding relating to the enforcement of the terms of this Section 9, raise the defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law. 
 9.6. Special Severability. The terms and provisions of this Section 9 are intended to be separate and divisible provisions and if, for any reason, any one or more of them is held to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the
validity nor the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement shall thereby be affected. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the potential restrictions on the Executive’s future employment imposed by this

  

 -12- 

 
Section 9 be reasonable in both duration and geographic scope and in all other respects. If for any reason any court of competent jurisdiction shall
find any provisions of this Section 9 unreasonable in duration or geographic scope or otherwise, the Executive and the Company agree that the restrictions and prohibitions contained herein shall be effective to the fullest extent allowed under
applicable law in such jurisdiction. 
 10. Miscellaneous. 
 10.1. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, applied
without reference to principles of conflict of laws. Both the Executive and the Company agree to appear before and submit exclusively to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with respect to any
controversy, dispute, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Executive further agrees that the Company may serve him with judicial process via registered or certified mail and that the Corporate Secretary of the Company shall at
all times be the Executive’s agent for service of judicial process, and the Executive hereby appoints the Corporate Secretary of the Company as the Executive’s agent for that and any other related purpose. 
 10.2. Full Settlement. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations
hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any
other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably
incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement. 
 10.3. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their
respective successors and legal representatives. 
 10.4. Mutual Intent. Both parties participated in the drafting of the Agreement,
and the language used in this Agreement is the language chosen by the Executive and the Company to express their mutual intent. Both the Executive and the Company agree that in the event that any language, section, clause, phrase or word used in the
Agreement is determined to be ambiguous, no presumption shall arise against or in favor of either party and that no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either party with respect to such ambiguity. 
 10.5. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by hand-delivery to the other parties or by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
