indirectly (i) cause any person or entity to, either for yourself or for any other person, business, partnership, association, firm, company or corporation, hire from the Company or attempt to hire, divert or take away from the Company, any of

person, business, partnership, association, firm, company or corporation, attempt to divert or take away from the Company or its subsidiaries any of the business or vendors of the Company. 

TAXES: All payments hereunder are subject to applicable tax withholdings. 

The offer is contingent on: (i) a successful background check; and (ii) your completion of Section 1 of the Form
1-9 on or before the end of your first day of employment and your presentation of your original documentation verifying your work eligibility and identification on or before the third day of employment.
