	2.
	Benefits -- Subject to and contingent upon EXECUTIVE’S continued employment through the Separation Date and EXECUTIVE’s execution of and compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and further provided that EXECUTIVE does not revoke this Agreement as provided in Paragraph 6 below, Entegris shall provide EXECUTIVE with the following benefits.

Further, EXECUTIVE represents and warrants that EXECUTIVE has not retained any copy of any documents, materials or information of Entegris or any of its affiliates (whether in hardcopy, on electronic media or otherwise).  Recognizing that his/her employment with Entegris has ended, EXECUTIVE agrees that EXECUTIVE will not, for any purpose, attempt to access or use any Entegris computer or computer network or system.

	12.
	Non-Compete -- EXECUTIVE acknowledges that during the course of employment with Entegris, EXECUTIVE had access to confidential information, which, if disclosed, would assist 

5

in competition against Entegris, and agrees to the following restrictions to protect the goodwill, confidential information and other legitimate interests of Entegris:  
EXECUTIVE agrees that, during the period from the Separation Date through August 30, 2020, EXECUTIVE will not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, compete with Entegris within the United States or in any other country in which Entegris was doing business, or planning to do business, as of the Separation Date.  Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, EXECUTIVE agrees not to work or provide services, in any capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, whether with or without compensation, to any person or entity, that is engaged in any business that is competitive with the business of Entegris, as conducted or in planning during EXECUTIVE’S employment with Entegris, unless Entegris agrees, in advance and in writing, signed by an expressly authorized representative of Entegris, to EXECUTIVE’S working or providing services for a specified Person.  Entegris will so agree provided that it determines, in its sole discretion that EXECUTIVE’S acceptance of a position with such person or provision of such work or services will not result in the use or disclosure of confidential information.  EXECUTIVE agrees that Entegris’ consent shall be acquired prior to accepting any such position or commencing any business activity, which could be inconsistent with EXECUTIVE’S obligations under this Agreement.  EXECUTIVE agrees to provide Entegris with all information that it may reasonably request in order to make a determination as contemplated hereunder.
		
	13.
	Breach -- In the event of a breach of any of lawful provision of the Agreement by EXECUTIVE, Entegris will be entitled to cease making any payments described in Paragraph 2 and to terminate any unvested performance restricted stock units and stock options.  Such a breach will result in the disgorgement of the payments and benefits described in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement by EXECUTIVE, in addition to any and all other rights or remedies Entegris may have at law or in equity (including, with respect to a breach of Paragraphs 9 or 12, injunctive relief); provided, however, that for purposes of this Paragraph 13, EXECUTIVE’s challenge to the validity of an ADEA waiver shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. 

		
	14.
	Governing Law -- This Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and may be pleaded as a full and complete defense to any action, suit, or proceeding relating to EXECUTIVE’s employment with Entegris.  

		
	15.
	Other Provisions -- A waiver of any breach of or failure to comply fully with any provision of this Agreement by either party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof or failure to comply.  If any portion or provision of this Agreement shall to any extent be deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted.  To avoid any possible misunderstanding, Entegris intends this Agreement to be a comprehensive statement of the terms of EXECUTIVE’s separation.  This Agreement supersedes any prior understanding or statement made to EXECUTIVE by Entegris regarding arrangements with Entegris for the period after EXECUTIVE’s separation.  Any modifications of the terms set forth in this 

6

Agreement must be in writing and signed by EXECUTIVE and an authorized officer of Entegris.
		
	16.
	Resignation; Entegris Affiliation -- EXECUTIVE hereby resigns from all positions and offices held by Executive with Entegris and its subsidiaries effective as of the Separation Date and agrees to execute all such other documents and form in connection with EXECUTIVE’S resignation as may be requested by Entegris.  EXECUTIVE agrees that, following the Separation Date, EXECUTIVE will not hold himself/herself out as an officer, employee, or otherwise as a representative of Entegris.

		
	17.
	Cooperation -- EXECUTIVE agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, EXECUTIVE shall cooperate fully with Entegris in the investigation, defense or prosecution of any claims or actions which already have been brought, are currently pending, or which may be brought in the future against Entegris by a third party or by or on behalf of Entegris against any third party, whether before a state or federal court, any state or federal government agency, or a mediator or arbitrator.  EXECUTIVE’s full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with Entegris’ counsel, at reasonable times and locations designated by Entegris, to investigate or prepare Entegris’ claims or defenses, to prepare for trial or discovery or an administrative hearing, mediation, arbitration or other proceeding and to act as a witness when requested by Entegris.  EXECUTIVE further agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, EXECUTIVE will notify Entegris promptly in the event that EXECUTIVE is served with a subpoena (other than a subpoena issued by a government agency), or in the event that EXECUTIVE is asked to provide a third party (other than a government agency) with information concerning any actual or potential complaint or claim against Entegris.

		
	18.
	Consulting Period – Commencing on the Separation Date and ending on December 31, 2019 (the “Consulting Term”), EXECUTIVE will provide services to Entegris as a consultant, reporting to members of the Executive Leadership Team of Entegris.  EXECUTIVE agrees to be available to perform EXECUTIVE’S consulting services during normal business hours, at times and on schedules that reasonably accommodate EXECUTIVE’S other personal or business activities.  During the Consulting Term, EXECUTIVE shall receive a monthly consulting fee equal to $39,333.25 (the “Consulting Fee”), payable in cash in arrears, with the first payment for the month of September, 2019 to be paid in October, 2019.  During the Consulting Term, (a) EXECUTIVE will not be entitled to participate in any compensation and benefit plans, programs and arrangements of Entegris and its subsidiaries, and EXECUTIVE will not make any claim of entitlement under any such plan, program or arrangement on the basis of providing the consulting services; provided that this does not supersede or otherwise affect EXECUTIVE’S right to continued medical, dental or group health benefits following the Separation Date pursuant to COBRA or as otherwise set forth herein, (b) EXECUTIVE will operate at all times as an independent contractor of Entegris and nothing herein shall be construed as creating an employer/employee relationship and (c) as an independent contractor, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, EXECUTIVE will be responsible for the payment of all taxes required to be paid with respect to the 

7

Consulting Fee, as Entegris cannot withhold or remit tax payments for its independent contractors.
		
	19.
	Voluntary Assent -- This Agreement, including the release of claims set forth above, creates legally binding obligations and Entegris advises EXECUTIVE to consult an attorney before signing this Agreement.  In signing this Agreement, EXECUTIVE gives Entegris assurance that EXECUTIVE has signed it voluntarily and with a full understanding of its terms; that EXECUTIVE has had sufficient opportunity, before signing this Agreement, to consider its terms and has been advised to consult with an attorney, if EXECUTIVE wished to do so, and that, in signing this Agreement, EXECUTIVE has not relied on any promises or representations, express or implied, that are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.

		
	20.
	Tax Acknowledgment -- In connection with the benefits provided to EXECUTIVE pursuant to this Agreement, Entegris shall withhold and remit to the tax authorities the amounts required under applicable law, and EXECUTIVE shall be responsible for all applicable taxes with respect to such benefits under applicable law.

	21.
