6.    Non-Solicitation of Employees, Executives, Contractors, or Contracted Experts.  You expressly agree and understand that it would cause substantial harm and detriment to Nerdy Inc., the Company, and/or their related and/or affiliated entities if employees, executives, contractors, or contracted experts of Company were to be hired by you or lured by you to a business similar to that of Nerdy Inc., the Company, and/or their related and/or affiliated entities.

You recognize that your relationship or continued relationship hereunder is induced primarily because of the covenants and assurances you made, that your covenant not to compete unfairly is necessary to insure the continuation of the business of Nerdy Inc., the Company, and/or their related and/or affiliated entities, and that irreparable harm and damage will be done to them in the event that you compete unfairly with them.

This restriction is necessary to protect client relationships and Confidential Information, including but not limited to client and prospect information, methods and systems of doing business, marketing information, and financial information.  You agree that it is further necessary because of your position, because the protectable information would likely be competitively harmful to it in any area where it competes, and other relevant factors.

You acknowledge that your threatened or actual breach of any of the terms hereof will result in immediate, irreparable harm and injury to Nerdy Inc., the Company, and/or their related and/or affiliated entities, not adequately compensable by monetary relief.

14.        Section 409A.  Anything in this Executive Services Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of your separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Nerdy Inc. and/or the Company determine(s) that you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that you become entitled to hereunder on account of your separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after your separation from service, or (B) your death.  If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.  Each payment, installment, and benefit payable under this Executive Services Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section

Nerdy Inc. and the Company make no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to you or any other person if any provisions of this agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.
