Future Cooperation and Indemnification. Employee agrees to make himself/herself available to assist the Company, at all reasonable times on and after the Separation Date, with transitioning his/her duties as well as with any investigations, legal claims, or other matters concerning anything related to Employee’s employment. Employee specifically agrees to make him/herself available to the Company upon reasonable notice for interviews and fact investigations, to testify without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process, and to voluntarily provide the Company any employment-related documents Employee possesses or controls. “Cooperation” does not mean the Employee must provide information favorable to the Company; it means only that the Employee will upon the Company’s request provide information the Employee possesses or controls. If the Company requests Employee’s cooperation, it will reimburse Employee for reasonable time and expenses, provided the Employee submits appropriate documentation for such time and expenses. For clarity, the Company agrees that its indemnity obligations to Employee remain in effect in accordance with the Indemnity Agreement signed by the parties dated August 1, 2012.

8.	Restrictive Covenants.

Whirlpool Confidentiality, Non-Solicit, and Non-Compete Obligations. In consideration for the payments contained in Section 2 herein, Employee agrees to the following confidentiality, non-solicitation, and non-compete obligations:

Properly Using and Protecting Whirlpool Information.

Employee will only use “Confidential Information” (defined below) to perform their job duties with the Company and will not retain, for any other purpose. Immediately upon the Separation Date, or whenever requested by Whirlpool, Employee agrees to return all Confidential Information to Whirlpool, without retaining any Confidential Information in any form, including copies or anything stored on electronic devices not owned by Whirlpool.

“Confidential Information” means any non-public information about Whirlpool’s business, plans, products, services, customers, suppliers, vendors, employees, and/or business partners. Confidential Information also includes non-public information belonging to third parties that Whirlpool is obliged to keep confidential. Confidential Information is a valuable asset that must be protected and safeguarded. Whirlpool’s continued success, as well as the success and prosperity of its employees and shareholders, depends upon the preservation of this valuable asset. Improper use or disclosure of Confidential Information, even by accident, can irreparably harm Whirlpool and also harm employees whose livelihood is tied to Whirlpool’s continued success.

Employee’s obligations regarding Confidential Information shall apply during his employment and for so long after the Separation Date as the Company considers the information to be confidential or the information continues to qualify as Confidential Information under this Agreement. If Employee is served with a subpoena, court order, or other mandate requiring the disclosure of Confidential Information, Employee will provide the Company reasonable notice and opportunity to intervene and protect the Confidential Information prior to disclosure unless such notice is prohibited by law. Employee will immediately tell appropriate management about any unauthorized use, disclosure, or loss of Confidential Information and will fully assist Whirlpool to recover the Confidential Information.

Non-Solicitation.

Employee agrees that while Employee is employed with Employer, plus for 24 (twenty four) months following the Separation Date, Employee shall not:

directly or indirectly contact, solicit, or accept business from any of the Company’s current or prospective customers, distributors, or end users with whom Employee had direct or indirect contact or solicited on behalf of the Company in the two years prior to Employee’s termination, for the purpose of selling or soliciting products or services that compete with the products or services of the Company; or

ii)

directly or indirectly contact, solicit, recruit, or hire any contact for the purpose of causing, inviting, or encouraging the employee to terminate their employment with the Company.

For purposes of this Section, “solicit” means any action that would influence a current or prospective customer’s decision to do business with or continue doing business with the Company, regardless of who initiates contact; or any action that would influence an employee’s decision to terminate their relationship with the Company or accept employment with another company, regardless of who initiates contact.

Restrictions on Working for or with a Competitor.

Employee agrees that while Employee is employed with Employer, plus for 24 (twenty four) months following the Separation Date, Employee shall not:

directly or indirectly own, operate, manage, or control, or participate in the ownership, operation, management, or control of, any “Restricted Companies” (defined below), provided however, that nothing prevents Employee from owning, as a passive investment, less than ten percent (10%) of a company’s publicly traded stock; or

ii)

accept employment with, consult for, or perform any services for any “Restricted Companies” (defined below) anywhere in a “Restricted Area” (defined below) where such employment or engagement: (a) requires Employee to serve in a position or perform services that are similar to the positions Employee held or duties Employee performed for the Company, or (b) might cause Employee to access, use, or disclose Confidential Information.

“Restricted Companies” means any company or a division of any company that designs, develops, manufactures, distributes or services products that compete with products designed, developed, manufactured, distributed, or serviced by the Company including but not limited to household appliances (including large and small appliances) and associated products such as fans, filters, purifiers, cleaners, commercial appliances, air conditioners and filters, garbage disposals, garage storage appliances and cabinets, consumables for the use and care of home appliances, and parts, aftermarket parts and accessories for home appliances, regardless of where those products are designed, developed, sold or manufactured (collectively, “the Whirlpool Products and Services”). If the Company expands its business to include additional products or services during the Employee’s employment with the Company, or has developed concrete plans to expand its business during the Employee’s last two years of employment with the Company, those products or services will be included in the Whirlpool Products and Services.

“Restricted Area” means the United States and each country outside of the United States where the Company actually or had concrete plans to conduct business or market its products or services during the last two years of Employee employment with Employer.

Employee agrees that the geographic and time limitations in this Agreement are reasonable.

Remedies for Breach of Section 8. The Company will be irreparably harmed if Employee breaches this Section 8. Accordingly, Employee agrees that any breach of this Section 8 would require Employee to return to the Company 75% of any consideration identified in Section 2(a) paid as of the date of the breach. Employee further represents and agrees that violation of any restrictions set forth in this Section 8 would be a material breach of this Agreement; that such breach would be an action against the interest of the Company, and that even money damages alone will not provide an adequate or complete remedy so, in addition to its other rights, the Company is also entitled to remedies of specific performance, injunctive relief (temporary, preliminary, and permanent) and any other legal or equitable relief allowed by law to protect it from an actual or threatened breach of this Agreement. Further, if Employee violates the post-employment restrictions contained in Section 8, the time periods for the restrictions will be extended by one day for each day Employee remains in violation of the restrictions, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Other Obligations. If Employee intends to take a position at any time in the home appliance industry, including at a Restricted Company, Employee agrees to provide written notice to the Company disclosing sufficient, truthful information for the Company to evaluate whether Employee’s proposed work would violate this Agreement, including, but not necessarily limited to: (i) the identity of the person or entity for whom Employee proposes to work; (ii) the title of the proposed position; (iii) a description of the responsibilities, tasks, and duties to be performed; and (iv) the geographic area in which Employee will be working. Employee further agrees that, if requested, Employee shall provide a truthful, written affirmation under oath, subject to the penalties of perjury, that Employee has complied fully with Employee’s obligations under this Agreement and shall continue to comply fully with all such obligations.

Questions. Employee agrees to contact Whirlpool HR regarding any questions that arise and to request additional information regarding Employee’s obligations under this provision.

Confidentiality. Employee understands and agrees that the existence and terms of this Agreement will be publicly disclosed in accordance with applicable law; provided, however, that the negotiations, discussions, and proceedings regarding this Agreement and its terms are confidential and shall not be discussed by Employee with anyone other than his/her spouse, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, state and federal taxing authorities, any charge, investigation, proceeding, entity or agency described in Section 5(c) above, or to any others as may be compelled pursuant to legal process issued by a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction. Employee and the Company further agree that the Company will respond to all inquiries regarding Employee’s employment with the Company according to normal Company procedures

11.

Forum Selection and Governing Law. Employee and the Company consent and agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of state and federal courts located in Berrien County, Michigan or the Western District of Michigan. Employee and the Company agree that this Agreement shall be governed by federal law if that law governs, and otherwise under the laws of the State of Michigan without regard to its choice of law provisions.

12.

Non-Admission and Other Warranties. All parties to the Agreement agree and acknowledge that the consideration exchanged herein do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as any admission on the part of any party, nor shall the Agreement be considered to be evidence of liability or wrongdoing. In executing this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees and acknowledges: (i) Employee has reported to the Company work-related injuries, if any, (s)he incurred during employment; and (ii) the Company properly provided Employee with any leave of absence (s)he requested and (s)he has not been subjected to any improper treatment, conduct or actions due to a request for or taking such leave.

13.

Entire Agreement. Employee warrants and agrees that, except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, no promises or inducements have been offered to the Employee for the Agreement other than as set forth herein and that the Agreement is executed without reliance upon any other promises or representations. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any part of this Agreement (except Section 5) is found by a court of law to be unenforceable, the parties agree that the affected provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable to the broadest extent possible; and the unenforceable aspect of the provision in question, to the most limited extent necessary, shall be deemed stricken. To the extent that any unenforceable part or provision cannot be modified to render it enforceable as described above, the parties agree it shall be stricken and the remainder of this Agreement shall, to the broadest extent possible, continue to be valid and effective. The parties may amend this Agreement only in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement.

14.

Disclosures and Understanding. Employee acknowledges (s)he has carefully read this Agreement, have been advised of, and agree and acknowledge the following that:

this Agreement is written in a manner that is understandable, Employee fully understands it, and Employee enters into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily;

Employee specifically waives rights and claims, arising on and before the date of this Agreement’s execution by the Employee, under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”), and similar federal, state or local law;

this Agreement and Supplemental Release do not waive rights or claims that arise after the date on which the Employee signs the Agreement;

the rights and claims released and waived in this Agreement and Supplemental Release are in exchange for consideration over and above anything to which Employee is already entitled;

by receipt of this Agreement, the Company has advised Employee, in writing, to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement and Supplemental Release, and Employee has in fact, had an opportunity to engage in such consultation;

Employee has been given a period of at least twenty-one (21) calendar days in which to consider this Agreement and Supplemental Release prior to executing it;

M-63, Mail Drop 2005, Benton Harbor, Michigan 49022. If the revocation period expires on a weekend or holiday, Employee will have until the end of the next business day to revoke.

15.

Breach by Employee. The Company’s obligations to the Employee have been provided in exchange for the Employee’s release set forth in Section 5 and the promises set forth in this Agreement’s other provisions and the Supplemental Release. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that any breach by him/her of the obligations under Sections 7 (Future Cooperation), 9 (Confidentiality), 10 (Return of Company Property) or 16 (Non- Disparagement) of this Agreement inevitably would cause substantial and irreparable damage to the Company and its subsidiaries, for which money damages may not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company will be entitled to an injunction and/or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting security, to prevent the breach of such obligations. If the Company proves such a breach in court or arbitration, the Employee shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any loss, claim or damages, including without limitation all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in enforcing its rights under this Agreement and Supplemental Release as well as repay all compensation and benefits (other than those already vested) paid as consideration under the terms of this Agreement and Supplemental Release, except to the extent that such reimbursement is prohibited by law or would result in the invalidation of the release above. Any breach by Employee of Section 8 (Restrictive Covenants) will be addressed by the Breach paragraph contained in Section 8(a)(4).

16.

Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees, subject to any obligations (s)he may have under applicable law, that (s)he will not make or cause to be made any statements or take any actions that disparage or in any way damage the reputation of the Company or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, officers, directors or employees.) Employee understands that nothing in this paragraph prevents Employee from disclosing statements, of any nature, regarding possible violations of law or regulation to government agencies or authorities, or taking any of the actions expressly permitted in Section 5(c). Employee agrees that he will refer all third party inquiries regarding his employment to the Chief Human Resources Officer or his/her designee, and to the extent practicable the Company will do the same with third party inquiries. That employee will respond to such inquiries by providing Employee’s title and dates of service. The Company agrees that any further official public statement by the Company regarding Employee’s departure will be consistent with such messaging.

17.

Immigration Matters. If Employee is or has been expatriated, (s)he will be subject to Whirlpool’s Tax Equalization Policy, as applicable. If Employee is owed or owes the Company any obligations as a result of their visa status, Employee will be subject to any applicable Whirlpool Global Mobility policies.

19.

Headings. The Section headings contained in this Agreement and Supplemental Release are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement and Supplemental Release.

20.

Future Employment. The Company is not obligated to offer employment to the Employee (or to accept services or the performance of work from Employee directly or indirectly) now or in the future.

21.

409A. It is intended that all of the benefits provided under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and the Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions. To the extent not so exempt, all provisions herein shall be construed and interpreted to comply with Section 409A and if necessary, any such provision shall be deemed amended to comply with Section 409A. However, this shall not be construed as a guarantee by the Company of any particular tax effect under this Agreement. The Company shall not be liable if any payment or benefit made or provided under this Agreement is determined to result in additional tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A, nor for reporting to the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority in good faith any payment or benefit made or provided under this Agreement as an amount includible in

gross income under Section 409A or as a violation of Section 409A. In addition, if a payment could be made in either of two years, depending on the effective date of the release provided by Employee, then such payments shall be paid in the first month of the year following the year in which the Separation Date occurs. Each installment of payments under this Agreement is a separate payment (and therefore this Agreement provides for a series of separate payments) for purposes of Section 409A.

22.
