General Exceptions is added as follows: The Participant understands that the Participant’s non-competition covenants and/or non-solicitation covenants in this Agreement shall not apply to the Participant if the Participant is covered under applicable state statute or local ordinance/rule prohibiting non-competition covenants or non- solicitation covenants, including on the basis of the Participant’s profession. Any term or provision in this Agreement, including but not limited to all or part of any restrictive covenant in Section 6, that is or is determined to be a non-competition covenant under Washington state law is only effective and enforceable once the Participant earns, on an annualized basis, more than the annual required minimum compensation, which may be prorated for service less than a year, for enforcement of non-competition covenants found in Title 49 RCW. For the absence of doubt, the Participant understands and agrees that even if the Participant does not earn the required minimum compensation when the Participant signs this Agreement, the non-competition covenants later become enforceable if the Participant begins to earn sufficient compensation for their enforcement. This required minimum compensation for enforcement of non-competition covenants does not affect the enforceability of any other term or provision of this Agreement, including but not limited any term or provision, or part thereof, that is or is determined to be a non-solicitation agreement under Washington state law found in Title 49 RCW.

The Company Group will advise the Participant in writing whether it will elect to pay the Non-competition Compensation to enforce the non-competition covenants in this Agreement.
