with and have access to the Company and its affiliates’ confidential business information and trade
secrets concerning the Company and its affiliates and that his services are of special, unique and
extraordinary value to the Company and its affiliates. Therefore, Employee agrees that, during his
employment with the Company, and for one year after Employee’s employment with the Company is

United States of America, or have interest directly or indirectly in any Business; provided,

than 5% of the outstanding stock of any class of stock of a corporation so long as Employee has no
active participation in the business of such corporation; (ii) affiliating with any company which

aggregates less than 10% of such

 

 

company’s revenue, and so long as Employee has no active participation in the Business on
behalf of such company; or (iii) directly or through an affiliate, acquiring, merging or otherwise
gaining control, or purchasing an interest in an organization as long as the Business represents
less than 10% of the acquiree’s revenue at the time of the transaction, and so long as Employee has
no active participation in the Business on behalf of such company, (B) employ or retain as an
independent contractor any employee of the Company, or (C) recruit, solicit or otherwise induce any
employee of the Company to discontinue such employment relationship. For purposes hereof, the term
“Business” shall consist of (A) delivery of medical services, mental health services, dental
services, pharmaceuticals or supplies to correctional facilities, and (B) any other business in
which the Company is significantly engaged as of the date that Employee ceases to perform duties
hereunder.

          (b) If, at the time of enforcement of this Section 8 a court shall hold that the duration,
scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the
parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be
substituted for the stated duration, scope or area.

          (c) Employee agrees and understands that his duty to maintain the confidentiality of and
protect the Company’s confidential business information and trade secrets continues indefinitely
after his employment with the Company has been terminated. Employee further agrees that, after the
termination of his employment with the Company, he is absolutely precluded from using, in any way,
the Company’s confidential business information or trade secrets for any purpose.

          (d) Employee acknowledges and recognizes that if he breaches any of the provisions of this
Section 8, the Company will suffer serious and irreparable harm as a result. In the event of the
breach by Employee of any of the provisions of this Section 8, the Company, in addition and
supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, may apply to any court of law or
equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in
order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof.

parties hereto agree that said arbitrator or court in making such determination shall have the
power to reduce the duration and scope of each provision to the extent necessary to make it
enforceable, and that the Agreement in its reduced form shall be valid and enforceable to the full
extent permitted by law.

program provided by the Company (except for any severance or termination policies, plans, programs
or practices) and for which the Employee may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce
such rights as the Employee may have under any other Agreement with the Company. Amounts which are
