While you are employed by the Company and for a period of one year from the termination of such employment (by you or the Company), you shall not participate in, supervise, or manage (as an employee, consultant, agent, owner, manager, operator, partner, or in any comparable capacity) any “Competing Activities” anywhere in the United States of America (the “Territory”). “Competing Activities” means any activities that are the same as or similar in function or purpose to those you performed or supervised performance of on behalf of the Company in the two year period preceding your termination if such activities are being undertaken for the benefit of a business (meaning a person, company, or independently operated division or unit of a company) that provides a product or service in the Territory that competes with one or more of the products or services offered by the Company during the two year period preceding the termination of your employment.

¹For purposes of this Agreement, the term BioScrip or the Company includes its parent(s), subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, and assigns. An “affiliate” of, or a company or person “affiliated” with, the Company is a person or company that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company.

(iii) provide services to a Covered Customer that would displace or reduce the business opportunities of the Company with the Covered Customer.

4. Confidential Information.

A compilation or list of information maintained in confidence by the Company (like a customer list) will be considered Confidential Information irrespective of whether it may contain some items of information that would otherwise be publicly available because such a compilation has special value and utility in its compiled form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the non-disclosure obligations of this RC Agreement will not apply to the extent that you are acting to the extent necessary to comply with legal process; provided that in the event that you are subpoenaed to testify or to produce any information or documents before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal relating to any aspect pertaining to the Company, you shall immediately notify the Company thereof.

All memoranda, notes, lists, records, property and any other tangible product and documents (and all copies thereof) made, produced or compiled by you or made available to you concerning the Company and its Business shall be the Company's property and shall be delivered to the Company at any time on request.

5. Duty of Loyalty; Employment Status. During your employment by the Company, you will abide by all of the restrictions placed upon you in this RC Agreement, will avoid conflicts of interest, and will not engage in any form of competition with the Company. You understand and agree that even though you may have additional employment that does not violate the provisions of this RC Agreement, if your position with another employer impedes or otherwise adversely affects your job performance with the Company, you may be terminated for performance reasons. By way of example, if you moonlight or work elsewhere during the evenings and you are too tired during the day to perform your duties and responsibilities for the Company, you may be terminated. Nothing in this RC Agreement shall be construed to affect the term of your employment as set forth in your offer letter.

6. Rights and Remedies upon Breach of Restrictive Covenants. You acknowledge and agree that any breach by you of any of the Restrictive Covenants would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which money damages would not provide an adequate remedy. Therefore, if you breach, or threaten to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive Covenants, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the other and severally enforceable, and all of which rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity (including, without limitation, the recovery of damages).

(a) The right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced (without posting bond and without the need to prove damages) by any court having equity jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the right to an entry against you of restraining orders and injunctions (preliminary, mandatory, temporary and permanent) against violations, threatened or actual, and whether or not then continuing, of such Restrictive Covenants; provided, however, that where a bond is required by law for an injunction to issue, the agreed upon bond shall be $1,000. For purposes of the enforcement of any restrictions contained herein the parties agree that the respective time periods for any restrictions shall be tolled for a period of time equal to that period beginning when such violation commenced and ending when the activities constituting such violation shall have terminated.

(b) The right and remedy to require you to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively, "Benefits") derived or received by you as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants, and you shall account for and pay over such Benefits to the Company. This remedy shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, injunctive relief to prevent further harm and does not represent a complete or satisfactory remedy standing alone.

You agree that in any action seeking specific performance or other equitable relief, you will not assert or contend that any of the provisions of these Restrictive Covenants are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable. The existence of any claim

or cause of action by you, whether predicated on the RC Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the Restrictive Covenants.

7. Severability and Choice of Law. If any of the Restrictive Covenants in this Agreement are found unenforceable as written, the Court shall reform the unenforceable restriction(s) so as to make same fully enforceable to the maximum extent of the law within the state or other geographic jurisdiction of the Court; and, the Agreement shall otherwise be enforced in accordance with its terms outside said state or jurisdiction. The law of the State of Colorado shall control the interpretation, application, and enforcement of this Agreement without regard or respect for any choice of law principles to the contrary of Colorado or of the state where you may reside at the time of enforcement.

8. Counterparts: This Agreement may be signed in two counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures were upon the same instrument. For purposes of this Agreement, a document (or signature page thereto) signed and transmitted by facsimile machine or as an attachment to an electronic mail message is to be treated as an original document. The signature of any Party thereon, placed there for purposes of execution hereof, is to be considered as an original signature, and the document transmitted is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature on an original document.
