“work for hire agreement” under the Copyright Act, and that any copyrightable work (“Creation”)

that are entirely or substantially similar to any position the Executive held during the last twelve (12) months of the Executive’s
employment with DeVry Group or in which the Executive would have responsibility for and access to confidential information that
is similar to or relevant to that which the Executive had access to during the last twelve (12) months of the Executive’s
employment with DeVry Group; or

 

(ii)         provide
services to any person or entity that engages in any business that is similar to, or competitive with DeVry Group or its Affiliates’

the Executive from being a passive owner of not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation
which is publicly traded, so long as the Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.

of at least twelve (12) months).

DeVry Group or its Affiliates as of the date of the termination of Executive's employment, or (ii) in any way interfere with the
relationship between DeVry Group, its Affiliates and any Customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation (or any prospective
Customer, supplier, licensee or other business relationship) of DeVry Group or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, by
making any negative or disparaging statements or communications regarding DeVry Group, its Affiliates or any of their operations,
officers, directors or investors). This non-solicitation provision applies to those Customers, suppliers, licensees or other business
relationships of DeVry Group with whom the Executive: (1) has had contact or has solicited at any time in the twelve (12)
month period of time preceding the termination of the Executive's employment; (2) has supervised the services of any of DeVry

scope of activity are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and other legitimate
business interests of DeVry Group and its Affiliates. In particular, the Executive agrees and acknowledges that DeVry Group is
currently engaging in Business and actively marketing its services and products throughout the Restricted Area, that Executive's
duties and responsibilities for DeVry Group and/or its Affiliates are co-extensive with the entire scope of DeVry Group's Business,
that DeVry Group has spent significant time and effort developing and protecting the confidentiality of their methods of doing
business, technology, customer lists, long term customer relationships and trade secrets and that such methods, technology, customer
lists, customer relationships and trade secrets have significant value. However, if, at the time of enforcement of this Section
13, a court holds that the duration, geographical area or scope of activity restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances
then existing or impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and other business interests of DeVry Group
and its Affiliates, the Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted
for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court will be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover
the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law, in all cases giving effect to the intent of the parties that the restrictions
contained herein be given effect to the broadest extent possible. The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive
against DeVry Group, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, will not constitute a defense to the enforcement by DeVry
Group of the provisions of Sections 10, 11, 12 or this Section 13, which Sections will be enforceable notwithstanding the
existence of any breach by DeVry Group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive will not be prohibited from pursuing such
claims or causes of action against DeVry Group. The Executive consents to DeVry Group notifying any future employer of the Executive
of the Executive's obligations under Sections 10, 11, 12 and this Section 13 of this Agreement.

(e)          In
the event of the breach or a threatened breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of Sections 10, 11, 12 or this Section
13, DeVry Group, in addition and supplementary to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, will be entitled to seek
specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief (in the form of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction
and/or permanent injunction) from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions
hereof.

 

(f)          Upon
the Executive’s written request, the CEO may, in the CEO’s sole discretion, permit the Executive to engage in certain
work or activity that is otherwise prohibited by this Agreement, if and only if the Executive first provides the CEO with written
evidence satisfactory to the CEO, including assurances from any new employer of the Executive, that the contribution of Executive’s
knowledge to that work or activity will not cause the Executive to disclose, base judgment upon, or use DeVry Group’s trade
secrets or other Confidential Information. The Executive shall not engage in such work or activity unless and until the Executive
receives written consent from the CEO.

 

(g)          Neither
the CEO’s consent under Section 13(f) nor DeVry Group’s failure to seek enforcement of any restrictive covenant under
this Agreement shall be deemed a consent or waiver by DeVry Group of any subsequent breach of this Agreement by the Executive and
DeVry Group shall have the right to seek enforcement of this Agreement against the Executive for any breach not specifically consented
to in writing by the CEO or DeVry Group.

obligation of DeVry Group arising under this Section 25.

 

26.         Nondisparagement.
 Executive agrees that both during the Employment Period and thereafter, the Executive shall not make or publish any statements
or comments that disparage or injure the reputation or goodwill of DeVry Group or any of its affiliates, or any of its or their
respective officers or directors, or otherwise make any oral or written statements that a reasonable person would expect at the
time such statement is made to likely have the effect of diminishing or injuring the reputation or goodwill of DeVry Group, or
any of its affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers or directors; provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent
the Executive from providing any information that may be compelled by law.

 

27.         Assistance
in Proceedings.  During the Employment Period and thereafter, the Executive will cooperate with DeVry Group in any internal
investigation or administrative, regulatory or judicial proceeding as reasonably requested by DeVry Group (including, without limitation,
the Executive being available to DeVry Group upon reasonable notice for interviews and factual investigations, appearing at DeVry
Group’s request to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, volunteering to DeVry Group
all pertinent information and turning over to DeVry Group all relevant documents which are or may come into the Executive's possession,
all at times and on schedules that are reasonably consistent with the Executive’s other permitted activities and commitments).

the Executive a reasonable per diem as determined by the Board and reimburse the Executive for reasonable expenses incurred in
connection therewith (including lodging and meals, upon submission of receipts).
