The Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledge and agree that the provisions above, standing alone, are insufficient to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests since some activities would, unavoidably and by their nature, compromise the trade secrets and/or Confidential Information (regardless of intent) of Intermex LLC, Interwire and/or Intermex Holdings; jeopardize Intermex Holdings’s, Interwire’s and/or Intermex LLC’s competitive advantage and/or cause irreparable harm to Intermex Holdings, Intermex LLC and/or Interwire, their business relationships and/or their goodwill. The Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ have identified and agreed upon activities that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall avoid or refrain from doing while employed by Intermex and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the date ▇▇▇▇▇▇ signs this Agreement, regardless of which party ended ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ employment or the reason why ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ employment ended (the “Restricted Period”). Accordingly, in return for the Company’s promises and obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ continued employment, access to Confidential Information and trade secrets of the Company, the Base Pay, the Separation Pay and the other additional benefits set forth in Paragraphs 4(a), 4(b), and 4(c), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees as follows:
(a) Non-Competition. For the Restricted Period, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that he will not (as an owner, employee, officer, director, partner, investor, consultant, or otherwise), directly or indirectly: (i) provide, supervise, engage in, or manage any services for a Competing Business within the Restricted Area that are the same as or similar in purpose, scope or function to the services ▇▇▇▇▇▇ was engaged to provide or provided to Intermex LLC, Intermex Holdings or Interwire during the Look Back Period; (ii) own, operate, become employed by or act as a consult to a Competing Business; or (iii) undertake any activities or duties with a Competing Business or provide any services to a Competing Business that would result in the direct or indirect use or disclosure of Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Competing Business” is any person or entity that: (i) provides money transfer services in any form or manner (including, but not limited to, by way of wire, telephone, courier, ATM, prepaid or stored value card, or otherwise); (ii) provides money remittance services in any form or manner (including, but not limited to, by way of wire, telephone, courier, ATM, prepaid or stored value card, or otherwise); (iii) provides check cashing services, pay-day loan services, or prepared stored value card services; (iv) provides any form of foreign exchange or money exchange services; or (v) provides wire transfer services. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that Kwik Dollar, LLC, Dinex, Sigue Corporation, Maxitransfers Corporation, and Viaamericas Corporation are each a Competing Business. “Restricted Area” means those counties and states within the United States, and those comparable political subdivisions of any Latin American, Caribbean, or other country or territory where Intermex LLC, Intermex Holdings and/or Interwire: (i) is doing business at any point during the Transition Period; (ii) is doing business as of the Termination Date or (iii) is actively planning to do business as of the Termination Date. “Look Back Period” means the two (2) year period immediately preceding the Termination Date.
9
(b) Customer Nonsolicit. For the Restricted Period, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, communicate with or assist in communicating with a Covered Customer for the purpose of causing such Covered Customer: (i) to cease or reduce doing business with Intermex LLC, Interwire and/or Intermex Holdings; or (ii) to do business with a Competing Business; regardless of which party first initiated contact. A “Covered Customer” means any person or entity: (i) that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ had any business-related contact with during the Look Back Period; (ii) that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ serviced or provided services to during the Look Back Period; (iii) that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ solicited during the Look Back Period; (iv) that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ contacted or called upon during the Look Back Period; or (v) that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ had access to Confidential Information about. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that covered Customers include, but are not limited to, any customer of Intermex LLC, Interwire or Intermex Holdings, any agent (including, but not limited to paying agent or selling agent) of Intermex LLC, Interwire or Intermex Holdings, any payor of Intermex LLC, Interwire or Intermex Holdings, any vendor of Intermex LLC, Interwire or Intermex Holdings, any supplier of Intermex LLC, Interwire or Intermex Holdings, or any partner or joint venture of Intermex LLC, Interwire or Intermex Holdings. Where enforceable under applicable law, a Covered Customer shall not only include those persons or entities with whom Intermex LLC, Interwire or Intermex Holdings has conducted business prior to the Termination Date but also those with whom Intermex LLC, Interwire or Intermex Holdings has a reasonable expectation of doing business based on pending requests for proposal, open bids or similar communications occurring prior to the Termination Date.
(c) Employee Nonsolicit. For the Restricted Period, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, communicate or assist in communicating with any employee of Intermex LLC, Interwire or Intermex Holdings that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has knowledge about through or as a result of his employment with Intermex or his membership in Interwire for the purpose of inducing or encouraging such an employee to terminate his or her employment with Intermex LLC, Interwire or Intermex Holdings; regardless of which party first initiated contact; or (ii) hire or assist in hiring any employee of Intermex LLC, Intermex Holdings or Interwire that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has knowledge about through or as a result of his employment with Intermex or his membership in Interwire on behalf of a Competing Business.
(d) Restricted Area Application. The restrictions in Paragraphs 12(b) & (c) are understood to have an inherent geographic limitation by their nature based on where the persons or parties restricted from solicitation are located and potentially available for solicitation, or they have a reasonable and acceptable substitute for a geographic limitation. However, if applicable law requires additional geographic limitation for one of these restrictions to be enforceable then the restriction(s) requiring this limitation shall be deemed limited to the Restricted Area.
(e) Limitations on Restrictions. The restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 12 (and its subparts) do not prohibit general advertising for employees such as “help wanted” ads that are not targeted at Intermex LLC’s, Interwire’s or Intermex Holdings’s employees as such. This Agreement is not intended to prohibit: (i) employment with a non-competitive, independently-operated subsidiary, division, or unit of a family of companies that include a Competing Business, so long as the employing independently-operated subsidiary, division, or business unit is truly independent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ services to it do not otherwise violate this Agreement; or, (ii) a passive and non-controlling ownership of less than 2% of the stock in a publicly traded company.
(f) Tolling. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ violates one of restrictions in Paragraph 12 that contains a time limitation, the time period for the restriction at issue shall be extended by one day for each day ▇▇▇▇▇▇ remains in violation of the restriction; provided, however, that this extension of time shall be capped so that once ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has complied with the restriction for the originally proscribed length of time it shall expire.
10
13. Equitable Remedies/Attorney’s Fees/Non Waiver:
(a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions set forth in Paragraph 11 and Paragraph 12 (and its subparts) of this Agreement are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in Paragraph 11 and Paragraph 12 (and its subparts) of this Agreement are necessary to protect Confidential Information and trade secrets, and to protect the business relationships and goodwill of Intermex and Intermex Holdings and are considered to be reasonable for such purposes. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that any breach of Paragraph 11 or Paragraph 12 (or its subparts) of this Agreement is likely to cause Intermex LLC, Interwire and/or Intermex Holdings substantial and irrevocable damage that is difficult to measure. Therefore, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that Intermex LLC, Interwire or Intermex Holdings, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, shall have the right to obtain an injunction and/or a temporary restraining order from a court of equity restraining such a breach or threatened breach and the right to specific performance, with One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) being the agreed-upon amount of bond (if any) to be posted to secure such relief.
(b) If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ breaches any of the promises, obligations and/or restrictions set forth in Paragraph 2(b), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 10, Paragraph 11, Paragraph 12 (or its subparts), Paragraph 15(b),Paragraph 15(c) , or Paragraph 15(d) of the Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that he will pay all the expenses, fees and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Intermex LLC, Interwire and/or Intermex Holdings to establish that breach, to obtain injunctive relief, and/or otherwise to enforce the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Intermex LLC’s, Interwire’s or Intermex Holdings’s waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not operate or be constituted as a waiver of any subsequent breach by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
14. Governing Law:
This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflict of law provisions or the conflict of law provisions of any other jurisdiction which would cause the application of any law other than that of the State of Florida. Each party irrevocably agrees that any claim, legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of, relating to or in connection with: (i) this Agreement; (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ employment with Intermex; or (iii) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, or, if such court declines jurisdiction, a court of competent jurisdiction located in Miami-Dade County, Florida and hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the aforesaid courts in personam, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding. Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, relating to or in connection with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ employment with Intermex, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ membership interest in Interwire, or this Agreement.

The Parties agree that this Agreement or the Release Agreement may be used as evidence in a subsequent proceeding in which Intermex LLC, Interwire, Intermex Holdings or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ allege a breach of this Agreement or as a complete defense to any lawsuit.
(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to cooperate with the Releasees regarding any pending or subsequently filed litigation, claims or other disputes involving the Releasees that relate to matters within the knowledge or responsibility of ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Without limiting the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees: (i) to meet with a Releasees’s representatives, its counsel or other designees at mutually convenient times and places with respect to any items within the scope of this provision; (ii) to provide truthful testimony regarding same to any court, agency, or other adjudicatory body; and (iii) to provide the Company with notice of contact by any adverse party or such adverse party’s representative, except as may be required by law.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the warranties and representations by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ set forth in this Paragraph 15(c) are material and serve as an inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement.
(d) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to notify any prospective employer or Competing Businesses of the existence of the covenants set forth in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 11 and Paragraph 12 (and its subparts) of this Agreement, and authorizes the Company to make contact with, and discuss the nature and obligations of the covenants set forth in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 11 and Paragraph 12 (and its subparts) of this Agreement with, any person or entity reasonably believed by the Company to be engaged or about to be engaged in an act that would constitute a violation of this Agreement.

16. Construction of Agreement:
The provisions of this Agreement have been negotiated jointly and there shall be no presumption of construction against any of the Parties. If a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any provision or term of this Agreement is void or invalid, only the specific term, condition, clause, or provision that is determined to be void or invalid shall be stricken from the Agreement and it shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Provided, however, if a court determines that any of the restrictions provided for in Paragraphs 11 or 12 (or its subparts) of this Agreement cannot be enforced as written, the Parties agree that a court shall enforce the restrictions to such lesser extent as is allowed by law and/or reform the part of the restriction to make it enforceable.

No amendment or modification of this Agreement or the Release Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the Parties unless made in writing and signed by the Parties hereto.

Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, neither this Agreement nor the Release Agreement, shall not in any way affect, modify, supersede, void or nullify the LLC Agreement, except as explicitly provided herein.
