(b) Equity-Based Awards. For purposes of Executive’s outstanding stock options and performance-based restricted stock units, Executive’s termination of employment on the Retirement Date shall be treated as a “Retirement” (as defined in the Company’s 1996 Stock Compensation Plan as amended). For the avoidance of doubt, Executive’s outstanding stock options or performance-based restricted stock units with respect to which the holding period for Retirement treatment has not been satisfied as of the Retirement Date shall be forfeited. (c) Noncompetition Covenant. In consideration for the noncompetition covenant contemplated by the Protective Covenants Agreement between Executive and the Company (the “Protective Covenants Agreement”), pursuant to Section 10(a) of the Protective Covenants Agreement, Executive shall receive a monthly payment equal to 100% of his last monthly base salary for the duration of the “Non-Compete Period” (as defined in the Protective Covenants Agreement).

After the Retirement Date, Executive shall continue to receive the associate discount on Company merchandise on Company e-commerce sites as if Executive were a current employee under the Company’s discount policy to the same extent that such associate discount is provided to similarly situated retirees of the Company in accordance with the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time. (f) Effect of Payments on Compensatory Arrangements. Executive acknowledges that the payments and benefits to which he is entitled pursuant to this Section 3 and otherwise solely on account of the termination of his employment shall not be considered in determining his benefits under any plan, agreement, policy or arrangement of the Company and its Affiliates.

4. Executive Representation and Covenants. (a) Representation. Executive represents and warrants that there do not exist any circumstances, and Executive has not engaged in any conduct, that could constitute a basis for the Company to terminate Executive’s service for “Cause” (within the meaning applicable under any benefit plans or compensatory arrangements of the Company or its Affiliates applicable to Executive). On the basis of the foregoing, the separation will be treated as a “Retirement” for purposes contemplated by Section 3. (b) Company Property. Executive acknowledges that all documents, records, files, lists, equipment, computer, software or other property (including intellectual property) relating to the businesses of the Company or any of its Affiliates, in whatever form (including electronic), and all copies thereof, that have been or are received or created by Executive while an employee of the Company or its Affiliates are and shall remain the property of the Company and its Affiliates, and Executive shall immediately return such property to the Company upon the termination of Executive’s employment and, in any event, at the Company’s request. Executive’s corporate Visa Card will be cancelled, and Executive shall be prohibited from using such credit card or incurring any additional charges after the Retirement Date.

(c) Confidential Information. Executive hereby acknowledges that he is bound by all confidentiality agreements that he entered into with the Company and/or any and all past and current parent, subsidiary, related, acquired and affiliated companies, predecessors and successors thereto (which agreements are incorporated herein by this reference), that as a result of Executive’s employment Executive has had access to the Confidential Information (as defined in such agreement(s)), that Executive will hold all such Confidential Information in strictest confidence and that Executive may not make any use of such Confidential Information on behalf of himself or any third party. By signing this Agreement, Executive further confirms that Executive has delivered to the Company all documents and data of any nature containing or pertaining to such Confidential Information and that Executive has not taken with him any such documents or data or any reproduction thereof. Consistent with the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under federal or state trade secret law for disclosing a Company trade secret: (i) in confidence either directly or indirectly to an attorney, or any federal, State, or local government official, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (ii) in a complaint or other document filed under seal in either a lawsuit or other proceeding; or (iii) to Executive’s attorney(s) or in a lawsuit filed by Executive alleging retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of the law (should Executive decide not to sign this Agreement and thereby release all claims for retaliation), so long as any document containing trade secrets is filed under seal and Executive does not otherwise disclose the trade secrets except pursuant to court order. / f Initial Heresz^'^""' 3

Executive also agrees to be reasonably available to the Company and/or its legal counsel and other designated representatives or agents following the execution of this Agreement.

Executive further agrees not to testify for, appear on behalf of, or otherwise assist in any way any individual, company, or agency in any claim against the Company or its Affiliates unless pursuant to a lawful subpoena issued to Executive. If such a subpoena is issued, Executive shall immediately notify the Company and provide it with a copy of the subpoena. (f) Other Covenants; Clawback. Executive acknowledges and agrees that he remains bound by any covenants or agreements under any other agreement, plan or arrangement of the Company or its Affiliates applicable to Executive that survive his termination of employment (including all covenants under any Protective Covenants Agreement and any confidentiality agreement applicable to him).

The Company reserves all rights and remedies in the event of Executive’s breach of this Agreement or if the representation contained in Section 4(a) is not true, including ceasing any vesting, payments or benefits contemplated by Section 3 and recovering from Executive amounts that would not have been paid had Executive separation been treated as for “Cause.” 5.
