Participant acknowledges and agrees that none of the provisions of the Employment Agreement relating to vesting, exercisability, or termination of equity awards (including accelerated vesting upon a Change in Control or the post-termination exercise period) shall apply to this Option, so that the provisions of the Grant Notice and Option Agreement for this Option shall supersede those provisions in the Employment Agreement.

				
	
					
						Restrictive Covenants

					
					
						This Option is consideration for Participant’s compliance with the restrictive covenants herein.   If the Employment Agreement or any other agreement signed by the Participant for the benefit of the Company or any Affiliate contains more restrictive provisions, those provisions shall continue in effect notwithstanding any contrary provision in any such agreement.

					
						Participant acknowledges that because of Participant’s position in the Company, Participant will have access to the Company’s and its affiliates’ new and additional Proprietary Information (as defined below), including confidential information and trade secrets.  Subject to clause 1(a) and 1(d) of the Participant’s Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (“EPIIA”), Participant agrees that during Participant’s Service and for a period of 12 months after termination of Participant’s Service, Participant shall not directly or indirectly, either for Participant or for any other individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity, participate in or provide any services, whether as an employee, consultant or independent contractor, member of a board of directors or in any other capacity, to any entity in connection with the development, production, marketing, soliciting or selling products or services competitive with products or services being developed, produced, marketed or sold by any Company business unit, division, or department operating anywhere in the world, for which Participant performed any work or about which Participant obtained Proprietary Information during the two year period prior to Participant’s last day of Service. Subject to clause 1(a) and 1(d) of the EPIIA, Participant also agrees during Participant’s Service and for a period of 12 months after termination of Participant’s Service, Participant shall not directly or indirectly, either for Participant or for any other individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity, (i) divert or attempt to divert from the Company or any affiliate of the Company any business of any kind, including without limitation the solicitation of or interference with any of its customers, clients, business partners or suppliers, or (ii) solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any person employed by the Company or any affiliate of the Company during the six months prior to Participant’s last day of Service to terminate his or her employment.  For purposes of the foregoing, the term “participate in” shall include, without limitation, having any direct or indirect interest in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity, whether as a sole proprietor, owner, stockholder, partner, joint venturer, creditor or otherwise, or rendering any direct or indirect service or assistance to any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture and other business entity (whether as a director, officer, manager, supervisor, employee, agent, consultant or otherwise). 

					
						“Proprietary Information” means all information and any idea in whatever form, tangible or intangible, whether disclosed to or learned or developed by Participant, pertaining in any manner to the business of the Company or to the Company’s affiliates, consultants, or business associates, unless:  (i) the information is or becomes publicly known through lawful means; (ii) the information was rightfully in Participant’s possession or part of Participant’s general knowledge prior to 

				

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

 

 
		

			
					
						 

					
					
						the obligations contained in this section, including, but not limited to, Participant’s obligation not to interfere with the Company’s business as provided above, is necessary to protect the Proprietary Information and, consequently, to preserve the value and goodwill of the Company. Participant further acknowledges the time, geographic and scope limitations of Participant’s obligations as described above are reasonable, especially in light of the Company’s desire to protect its Proprietary Information, and that Participant will not be precluded from gainful employment if Participant is obligated not to compete with the Company during the specified period and within the specified geography.  In accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) and other applicable law, nothing in this Proprietary Information policy restricts disclosure of a trade secret to the government in relation to the investigation of a known or suspected violation of law.

					
						 

					
						 

				
	
					
						 

					
					
						Participant’s employment by the Company; or (iii) the information is disclosed to Participant without confidential or proprietary restrictions by a third party who rightfully possesses the information (without confidential or proprietary restrictions) and did not learn of it, directly or indirectly, from the Company.  Participant further understands that the Company considers the following information to be included, without limitation, in the definition of Proprietary Information:  (A) schematics, techniques, employee suggestions, development tools and processes, computer printouts, computer programs, design drawings and manuals, electronic codes, formulas and improvements; (B) information about costs, profits, markets, sales, customers, prospective customers, customer contracts (including without limitation the terms and conditions of such customer contracts) and bids; (C) plans for business, marketing, future development and new product concepts; (D) customer lists, and distributor and representative lists; (E) all documents, books, papers, drawings, models, sketches, and other data of any kind and description, including electronic data recorded or retrieved by any means, that have been or will be given to Participant by the Company (or any affiliate of it), as well as written or verbal instructions or comments; (F) any information or material not described in (A)-(E) above which relate to the Company’s inventions, technological developments, “know how”, purchasing, accounts, merchandising, or licensing; (G) employee personnel files and information about employee compensation and benefits; and (H) any information of the type described in (A)-(G) above which the Company has a legal obligation to treat as confidential, or which the Company treats as proprietary or designates as confidential, whether or not owned or developed by the Company.

					
						Participant acknowledges that Participant’s fulfillment of the obligations contained in this section, including, but not limited to, Participant’s obligation not to interfere with the Company’s business as provided above, is necessary to protect the Proprietary Information and, consequently, to preserve the value and goodwill of the Company. Participant further acknowledges the time, geographic and scope limitations of Participant’s obligations as described above are reasonable, especially in light of the Company’s desire to protect its Proprietary Information, and that Participant will not be precluded from gainful employment if Participant is obligated not to compete with the Company during the specified period and within the specified geography.  In accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) and other applicable law, nothing in this Proprietary Information policy restricts disclosure of a trade secret to the government in relation to the investigation of a known or suspected violation of law.

					
						The covenants contained herein shall be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each state, province, country and other political subdivision.  Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms of the covenant contained herein.  In the event that the scope, territory or period of time of any separate covenant is determined to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the court, if allowed under applicable law, shall reduce the scope, territory or period of time of that separate  covenant to a level that the court deems enforceable and the remaining separate covenants, as well as all other terms and covenants in this Notice of Grant of Stock Option, shall be valid and be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.  In the event that any separate covenant is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, the court, if allowed under applicable law, shall eliminate such covenant from this Notice of Grant of Stock Option in that case and the remaining separate covenants, as well as all other terms and covenants in this Notice of Grant of Stock Option, shall be valid and be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.  The covenants set forth herein are intended to be enforced to the maximum degree permitted by law.
