ACCO-2014 EX10.3

WHEREAS, Grantee is a Key Employee of the Company and in compensation for Grantee’s services and Grantee’s agreement to certain employment and post-employment covenants, the Board deems it advisable to grant to Grantee an Award of Restricted Stock Units representing Shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Shares”), pursuant to the ACCO Brands Corporation 2011 Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which may become vested and nonforfeitable upon Grantee’s continuous service, as set forth herein.

1.Plan Governs; Capitalized Terms. This Agreement is made pursuant to the Plan, and the terms of the Plan are incorporated into this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically stated herein. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings as used or defined in the Plan. References in this Agreement to any specific Plan provision shall not be construed as limiting the applicability of any other Plan provision.

2.Award of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby grants to Grantee on the Grant Date an Award of __________ Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit constitutes an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Grantee, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, one (1) Share. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall vest in accordance with Section 3 and shall be payable to Grantee in accordance with Section 4. The Company shall hold the Restricted Stock Units in book-entry form. Grantee shall have no direct or secured claim in any specific assets of the Company or the Shares that may become issuable to Grantee under Section 4 hereof, and shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. THIS AWARD IS CONDITIONED ON GRANTEE SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT AND RETURNING IT TO THE COMPANY BY __________, 20__, AND IS SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN AND THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CERTAIN COVENANTS SET FORTH ON ATTACHMENT A HERETO THAT APPLY DURING, AND FOLLOWING A TERMINATION OF, GRANTEE’S EMPLOYMENT FOR ANY REASON.

(a)Generally. Subject to the acceleration of the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 3(b), 3(c), 3(e) and 3(f) below, or the forfeiture and termination of the Restricted Stock Units pursuant Section 3(d) or 4(c) below, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest and become nonforfeitable on _____________, 20__¹ (the “Vesting Date”) provided that Grantee has been continuously employed by the Company through such date.

(b)Death; Disability; Retirement. Upon the occurrence of the death of Grantee while employed by the Company or Grantee’s separation from service from the Company and all members of the Company controlled group (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(g) and (h)) (“Separation from Service”) due to his Disability or Retirement before the Vesting Date, a number of Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and nonforfeitable (rounded up to the next integer) as equals the fraction of the Award the numerator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date through the date of such death or Separation from Service and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date.

(c)Involuntary Termination without Cause. Upon the occurrence of Grantee’s involuntary Separation from Service by the Company without Cause at any time during the 180 day period preceding the Vesting Date (an “Involuntary Termination”), a number of Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and nonforfeitable (rounded up to the next integer) as equals the fraction of the Award the numerator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date through the date of such Involuntary Termination and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean, if the Grantee (i) is a participant in the Company’s Executive Severance Plan on the date of Grantee’s Separation from Service, the meaning ascribed to such term in the Executive Severance Plan as in effect on such date, or (ii) is not then a participant in the Company’s Executive Severance Plan, (x) a material breach by Grantee of those duties and responsibilities that do not differ in any material respect from Grantee’s duties and responsibilities during the ninety-day period immediately prior to such Separation from Service, which breach is demonstrably willful and deliberate on Grantee’s part, is committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach is in the best interests of the Company and is not remedied in a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from the Committee specifying such breach, (y) the conviction of Grantee for a felony, or (z) dishonesty or willful misconduct in connection with Grantee’s employment or services resulting in material economic harm to the Company.

(d)Other Terminations. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, upon a termination of Grantee’s employment for any reason, other than as provided under Sections 3(b), 3(e)(i) or 3(e)(iii), prior to the Vesting Date, the unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited. Any forfeited Restricted Stock Units shall be automatically cancelled and shall terminate.

(i)Upon Grantee’s involuntary Separation from Service by the Company without Cause or voluntary Separation from Service by Grantee for Good Reason at any time on or within 24 months following a Change in Control, the unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest and become nonforfeitable. Any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall also vest upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company following Grantee’s involuntary Separation from Service by the Company without Cause or voluntary Separation from Service by Grantee for Good Reason prior to such Change in Control if the Grantee reasonably demonstrates such Separation from Service was either (x) at the request of a third party who was taking steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (y) otherwise in contemplation of a Change in Control.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, if the Grantee (x) is a participant in the Company’s Executive Severance Plan on the date of Grantee’s Separation from Service, the meaning ascribed to such term in the Executive Severance Plan as in effect on such date, or (y) is not then a participant in the Company’s Executive Severance Plan, (A) material reduction in Grantee’s annual base salary or annual bonus potential from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or (B) Grantee’s mandatory relocation to an office more than 50 miles from the primary location at which Grantee is required to perform Grantee’s duties immediately prior to the Change in Control, and which reduction or relocation is not remedied within thirty days after receipt of written notice from Grantee specifying that “Good Reason” exists for purposes of this Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee’s voluntary Separation from Service for Good Reason shall not be effective unless (1) Grantee delivers a written notice setting forth the details of the occurrence giving rise to the claim of termination for Good Reason within a period not to exceed 90 days after its initial existence and (2) the Company fails to cure the same within a thirty (30) day period.

(iii)Upon the occurrence of a transaction by which the Subsidiary that is Grantee’s principal employer ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company and Grantee’s employment with the Company and all other Subsidiaries ceases, the unvested Restricted Stock Units shall become vested and nonforfeitable in such number (rounded up to the next integer) as equals the fraction of the Award the numerator of which is the number of days Grantee was continuously employed from the Grant Date through the Divestiture Date and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date set forth in Section 3(a) hereof.

(f)Contrary Other Agreement. The provisions of Section 3(b), 3(c), 3(d) or 3(e) to the contrary notwithstanding, if Grantee and the Company have entered into an employment or other agreement which provides for vesting treatment of Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units upon a termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company (and all Affiliates) that is inconsistent with the provisions of Section 3(b), 3(c), 3(d) or 3(e), the more favorable to Grantee of the terms of (i) such employment or other agreement and (ii) Section 3(b), 3(c), 3(d) or 3(e), as the case may be, shall control.

(a)Issuance of Shares. Subject to Section 4(c), the Company (or its successor) shall cause its transfer agent for Common Stock to register shares in book-entry form in the name of Grantee (or, in the discretion of the Committee, issue to Grantee a stock certificate) representing a number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units vested pursuant to Section 3:

(ii)Subject to Section 8(j)(ii), within 60 days (and during the taxable year designated by the Committee in its sole discretion, as may apply) following the occurrence of Grantee’s death, Separation from Service due to Grantee’s Disability or Retirement under Section 3(b) or Involuntary Termination under Section 3(c), or Grantee’s involuntary Separation from Service by the Company without Cause or voluntary Separation from Service for Good Reason under Section 3(e)(i), or vesting due to the occurrence of a Divestiture under 3(e)(iii) as applies.

(iii)For all purposes under this Section 4(a), any Separation from Service of Grantee at a time when Grantee was eligible to Separate from Service due to Retirement shall be treated as a Separation from Service due to Retirement; provided, such Separation from Service shall not be treated as a Retirement if occurring due to Grantee’s death.

Provided, in the event that the occurrence of a Change in Control is not a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), or a transaction under Section 3(e)(iii) is not a Separation from Service of Grantee, such issuance of shares shall be postponed until the earliest to occur of (1) such a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, (2) Grantee’s Separation from Service (subject to Section 4(a)(iii) and Section 8(j)(ii)) or (3) the date for payment under Section 4(a)(i).

(b)Withholding Taxes. At the time Shares are issued to Grantee, or any earlier such time in which income or employment taxes may become due and payable, the Company shall satisfy the minimum statutory Federal, state and local withholding tax obligation (including the FICA and Medicare tax obligation) required by law with respect to the distribution of Shares (or other taxable event) by withholding from Shares issuable to Grantee hereunder having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required withholding, unless Grantee requests (and the Committee agrees) that the Company satisfy such obligation as provided below. In lieu of Share withholding, the Committee, if requested by Grantee, may cause the Company to satisfy such withholding tax by withholding cash compensation then accrued and payable to Grantee of such required withholding amount or by permitting Grantee to tender a check or other payment of cash to the Company of such required withholding amount.

(c)Forfeiture Upon Breach of Covenant. The provisions of Section 3 to the contrary notwithstanding, any unissued shares issuable under this Section 4 respecting Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled in the event of Grantee’s breach of any covenant set forth Section 3, 4.1 or 4.2 of Attachment A in addition to any other remedy set forth at Section 7 of Attachment A.

5.No Transfer or Assignment of Restricted Stock Units; Restrictions on Sale. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units and the rights and privileges conferred thereby shall not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to sale under execution, attachment, levy or similar process until the Shares represented by the Restricted Stock Units are delivered to Grantee or his designated representative. Grantee shall not sell any Shares, after issuance pursuant to Section 4, at any time when applicable laws or Company policies prohibit a sale. This restriction shall apply as long as Grantee is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company (as defined in Attachment A).

6.Legality of Initial Issuance. No Shares shall be issued unless and until the Company has determined that (a) any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is listed has been satisfied; and (b) all other applicable provisions of state or federal law have been satisfied.

(a)Rights as a Stockholder. Neither Grantee nor Grantee’s representative shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units until the date that the Company is obligated to deliver such Shares to Grantee or Grantee’s representative.

(b)Dividend Equivalents. As of each dividend date with respect to Shares, an unvested dividend equivalent shall be awarded to Grantee in the dollar amount equal to the amount of the dividend that would have been paid on the number of Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units held by Grantee as of the close of business on the record date for such dividend. Such dividend equivalent amount shall be converted into a number of Restricted Stock Units equal to the number of whole and fractional Shares that could have been purchased at the closing price on the dividend payment date with such dollar amount. In the case of any dividend declared on Shares which is payable in Shares, Grantee shall be awarded an unvested dividend equivalent of an additional number of Restricted Stock Units equal to the product of (i) the number of his Restricted Stock Units then held on the related dividend record date multiplied by the (ii) the number of Shares (including any fraction thereof) distributable as a dividend on a Share. All such dividend equivalents credited to Grantee shall be added to and in all respects thereafter be treated as additional Restricted Stock Units to which such dividend equivalents relate hereunder.

(c)No Retention Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the employment or service of the Company for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company or of Grantee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his employment or service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

(e)Notices. Any notice required by the terms of this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery, upon deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, with postage and fees prepaid or upon deposit with a reputable overnight courier. Notice shall be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office and to Grantee at the address that he most recently provided to the Company.

(f)Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement supersedes any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which relate to the subject matter hereof; provided, if Grantee is bound by any restrictive covenant contained in a previously-executed agreement with the Company or an Affiliate,

such restrictions shall be read together with Attachment A of this Agreement to provide the Company and its Affiliates with the greatest amount of protection, and to impose on Grantee the greatest amount of restriction, allowed by law. No alteration or modification of this Agreement shall be valid except by a subsequent written instrument executed by the parties hereto. No provision of this Agreement may be waived except by a writing executed and delivered by the party sought to be charged. Any such written waiver shall be effective only with respect to the event or circumstance described therein and not with respect to any other event or circumstance, unless such waiver expressly provides to the contrary.

(g)Choice of Law; Venue; Jury Trial Waiver. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions thereof. The Company and Grantee stipulate and consent to personal jurisdiction and proper venue in the state or federal courts of Cook County, Illinois and waive each such party’s right to objection to an Illinois court’s jurisdiction and venue. Grantee and the Company hereby waive their right to jury trial on any legal dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement, and consent to the submission of all issues of fact and law arising from this Agreement to the judge of a court of competent jurisdiction as otherwise provided for above.

(i)This Agreement is personal to Grantee and, except as otherwise provided in Section 5 above, shall not be assignable by Grantee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, without the written consent of the Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Grantee’s legal representatives.

(i)Severability. If any provision of this Agreement for any reason should be found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such declaration shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any remaining provision or portion thereof, which remaining provision or portion thereof shall remain in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been adopted with the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof eliminated.

(i)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to comply with or satisfy an exemption from Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”). The Committee may in good faith make the minimum modifications to this Agreement as it may deem appropriate to comply with Section 409A while to the maximum extent reasonably possible maintaining the original intent and economic benefit to Grantee and the Company of the applicable provision.

(ii)To the extent required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), payment of Restricted Stock Units to Grantee, who is a “specified employee” that is due upon Grantee’s Separation from Service (including upon Grantee’s Retirement or a Separation from Service treated as a Retirement under Section 4(a)(iii)) shall be delayed and paid in a lump sum within seven (7) days (and the Company shall have sole discretion to determine the taxable year in which it is

paid) after the earlier of the date that is six (6) months after the date of such Separation from Service or the date of Grantee’s death after such Separation from Service. For purposes hereof, whether Grantee is a “specified employee” shall be determined in accordance with the default provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i), with the “identification date” to be December 31 and the “effective date” to be the April 1 following the identification date (as such terms are used under such regulation).

(k)Headings; Interpretation. The headings, captions and arrangements utilized in this Agreement shall not be construed to limit or modify the terms or meaning of this Agreement. Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or plural shall include the singular and the plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, the feminine and the neuter.

1.1 The Company is placing Grantee in a special position of trust and confidence. As a result of this Agreement and Grantee’s position with the Company, Grantee will receive Confidential Information (defined below) related to his position, authorization to communicate and develop goodwill with Company customers, and/or specialized training related to the Company’s business. Grantee agrees to use these advantages of employment to further the business of the Company and not to knowingly cause harm to the business of the Company. The Company’s agreement to provide Grantee with these benefits, and the Award hereunder, gives rise to an interest in reasonable restrictions on Grantee’s competitive and post-employment conduct.

1.2 Grantee shall dedicate his full working time and efforts to the business of the Company and shall not undertake or prepare to undertake any conflicting business activities while employed with the Company. These duties supplement and do not replace or diminish the common law duties Grantee would ordinarily have to the Company as the employer.

SECTION 2 Consideration. In exchange for Grantee’s promises and obligations herein, the Company is granting Grantee the Award hereunder. The Company also agrees to provide Grantee with portions of its Confidential Information, authorization to communicate and develop goodwill with the Company customers, and/or specialized training related to the Company’s business. Grantee understands and agrees that the foregoing promises and benefits have material value and benefit to the Company, above and beyond any continuation of Company employment, and that Grantee would not be entitled to such consideration unless he signs and agrees to be bound by this Attachment A. The Company agrees to provide Grantee the consideration described in this SECTION 2 only in exchange for his compliance with all the terms of this Attachment A.

3.1 Grantee agrees to keep secret and confidential and neither use nor disclose, by any means, either during or after a termination of his employment for any reason, any Confidential Information except as provided below or required in his employment with, or authorized in writing by, the Company. Grantee agrees to keep confidential and not disclose or use, either during or after a termination of his employment for any reason, any confidential information or trade secrets of others which Grantee receives during the course of his employment with the Company for so long as and to the same extent as the Company is obligated to retain such information or trade secrets in confidence.

3.2 The obligations under this SECTION 3 shall not apply to Confidential Information to the extent that it: (a) is or becomes publicly known by means other than Grantee’s failure to perform his obligations under this Attachment A; (b) was known to Grantee prior to disclosure to Grantee by or on behalf of the Company and Grantee; or (c) is received by Grantee in good faith from a third party (not an Affiliate) which has no obligation of confidentiality to the Company with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Confidential Information shall not lose its protected status under this Attachment A if it becomes generally known to the public or to other persons through improper means. The Company’s confidential exchange of Confidential Information with a third party for business purposes shall not remove it from protection under this Attachment A.

3.3 If disclosure of Confidential Information is compelled by law, Grantee shall give the Company as much written notice as possible under the circumstances, shall refrain from use or disclosure for as long as the law allows, and shall cooperate with the Company to protect such information, including taking every reasonable step necessary to protect against unnecessary disclosure.

3.5 Grantee shall deliver to the Company promptly upon the end of Grantee’s employment all written and other materials which constitute or contain Confidential Information or which are the property of the Company (regardless of media), and shall not remove, erase, destroy, impede the Company’s access to, or take any such written and other materials. Grantee shall preserve records on the Company customers, prospects, vendors, suppliers, and other business relationships, and shall not knowingly use these records to harm the Company’s business interests. Upon termination of Grantee’s employment, Grantee shall return all such records, and any copies (tangible and intangible) to the Company. The Company is only authorizing Grantee to access and use the Company’s computers, email, or related computer systems to pursue matters that are consistent with the Company’s business interests. Access or use of such systems to pursue personal business interests apart from the Company, to compete or to prepare to compete, or to otherwise knowingly undermine the Company’s interests (such as, by way of example, removing, erasing, impeding the Company’s access to, or destroying its records or programs) is strictly prohibited and outside the scope of Grantee’s authorized use of the Company’s systems.

4.1 Restriction on Interfering with Employee Relationships. Grantee agrees that for a period of [24][12] months following the end of his employment with the Company for any reason, Grantee shall not interfere with the Company’s business relationship with any Company employee, by soliciting or communicating with such an employee to induce or encourage him to leave the Company’s employ (regardless of who initiates the communication), by helping another person or entity evaluate a Company employee as an employment candidate, or by otherwise helping any person or entity hire an employee away from the Company.

4.2 Restriction on Interfering with Customer Relationships. Grantee agrees that for a period of [12][6] months following the end of his employment with the Company for any reason, Grantee shall not interfere with the Company’s business relationships with a Covered Customer, by: (a) participating in, supervising, or managing (as an employee, consultant, contractor, officer, owner, director, or otherwise) any Competing Activities for, on behalf of, or with respect to a Covered Customer; or (b) soliciting or communicating (regardless of who initiates the communication) with a Covered Customer to induce or encourage the Covered Customer to: (i) stop or reduce doing business with the Company, or (ii) to buy a Conflicting Product or Service.

(a)Before accepting new employment, Grantee shall advise every future employer of the restrictions in this Attachment A. Grantee agrees that the Company may advise a future employer or prospective employer of this Attachment A and its position on the potential application of this Attachment A.

(b)This Attachment A’s post-employment obligations shall survive the termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company for any reason. If Grantee violates one of the post-employment restrictions in this Attachment A on which there is a specific time limitation, the time period for that restriction shall be extended by one day for each day Grantee violates it, up to a maximum extension equal to the length of time prescribed for the restriction, so as to give the Company the full benefit of the bargained-for length of forbearance.

(c)It is the intention of the Parties that, if any court construes any provision or clause of this Attachment A, or any portion thereof, to be illegal, void or unenforceable, because of the duration of such provision, the scope or the subject matter covered thereby, such court shall reduce the duration, scope, or subject matter of such provision, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

(d)If Grantee becomes employed with an Affiliate without entering into a new nondisclosure, nonsolicitation, noncompetition agreement that is substantially the same as this Attachment A, the Affiliate shall be regarded as the Company for all purposes under this Attachment A, and shall be entitled to the same protections and enforcement rights as the Company.

4.4 California Modification (California Residents Only). To the extent that Grantee is a resident of California and subject to its laws: (a) the restriction in SECTION 4.2(a) shall not apply; (b) the restriction in SECTION 4.2(b) shall be limited so that it only applies where Grantee is aided by the use or disclosure of Confidential Information; (c) the restriction in SECTION 4.1 is deemed rewritten to provide as follows: For a period of two (2) years immediately following the termination of Grantee’s employment with the Company for any reason, Grantee shall not, either directly or indirectly, solicit any of the Company’s employees, with whom Grantee worked at any time during his employment with the Company, to leave their employment with the Company or to alter their relationship with the Company to the Company’s detriment; and (d) the jury trial waiver in Section 7(e) of the Agreement shall not apply.

5.2 “Competing Activities” are any activities or services undertaken on behalf of a Competitor that are the same or similar in function or purpose to those Grantee performed for the Company in the two (2) year period preceding the end of Grantee’s employment with the Company, or that are otherwise likely to result in the use or disclosure of Confidential Information. Competing Activities are understood to exclude: activities on behalf of an independently operated subsidiary, division, or unit of a diversified corporation or similar business that has common ownership with a

5.3 “Confidential Information” includes but is not limited to any technical or business information, know-how or trade secrets, patentable or not, in any form, including but not limited to data; diagrams; business, marketing or sales plans; notes; drawings; models; prototypes; specifications; manuals; memoranda; reports; customer or vendor information; pricing or cost information; and computer programs, which are furnished to Grantee by the Company or which Grantee procures or prepares, alone or with others, in the course of his employment with the Company.

5.4 “Conflicting Product or Service” is a product or service that is the same or similar in function or purpose to a Company product or service, such that it would replace or compete with: (a) a product or service the Company provides to its customers; or (b) a product or service that is under development or planning by the Company but not yet provided to customers and regarding which Grantee was provided Confidential Information in the course of employment. Conflicting Products or Services do not include a product or service of the Company if the Company is no longer in the business of providing such product or service to its customers at the relevant time of enforcement.

5.5 “Covered Customer” is a Company customer (natural person or entity) that Grantee had business-related contact or dealings with, or received Confidential Information about, in the two (2) year period preceding the end of Grantee’s employment with the Company. References to the end of Grantee’s employment in this Attachment A refer to the end, whether by resignation or termination, and without regard for the reason employment ended.

SECTION 6 Notices. While employed by the Company, and for two (2) years thereafter, Grantee shall: (a) give the Company written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to going to work for a Competitor; (b) provide the Company with sufficient information about his new position to enable the Company to determine if Grantee’s services in the new position would likely lead to a violation of this Attachment A; and (c) within thirty (30) days of any request made by the Company to do so, participate in a mediation or in-person conference to discuss and/or resolve any issues raised by Grantee’s new position. Grantee shall be responsible for all consequential damages caused by failure to give the Company notice as provided in this SECTION 6.

SECTION 7 Remedies. If Grantee breaches or threatens to breach this Attachment A, the Company may recover: (a) an order of specific performance or declaratory relief; (b) injunctive relief by temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, and/or permanent injunction; (c) damages; (d) attorney's fees and costs incurred in obtaining relief; and (e) any other legal or equitable relief or remedy allowed by law. One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) is the agreed amount for the bond to be posted if an injunction is sought by the Company to enforce the restrictions in this Attachment A on Grantee.

SECTION 8 Return of Consideration. Grantee specifically recognizes and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Attachment A are material and important terms of this Agreement, and Grantee further agrees that should all or any part or application of SECTION 4.2 be held or found invalid or

unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction in an action between Grantee and the Company (despite, and after application of, any applicable rights to reformation that could add or renew enforceability), the Company shall be entitled to receive from Grantee the cash equivalent of the Fair Market Value of all Shares paid to Grantee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date of payment to Grantee pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Agreement. The return of consideration provided for in this SECTION 8 is in addition to the remedies for breach provided for in SECTION 7.
