2.

 

Compensation and Benefits . As of the Effective Date, BearingPoint will pay you a base salary, less withholding and deductions, payable in accordance with BearingPoint’s normal payroll practices. From time to time, BearingPoint may adjust your salary and other compensation in its discretion. During your employment, you will be eligible to participate in employee compensation or benefit plans (including group medical and 401(k)), incentive award programs, and employee stock option or purchase plans and to receive other fringe benefits that BearingPoint makes generally available to employees in your position.

In keeping with these duties, you shall make full disclosure to BearingPoint of all business opportunities pertaining to BearingPoint’s business and shall not appropriate for your future benefit business opportunities of BearingPoint.

Covenants . In consideration of your employment, special training, access to Proprietary Information and eligibility for stock options, restricted stock or other equity awards, you agree to the following obligations that you acknowledge are reasonably designed to protect BearingPoint’s legitimate business interests without unreasonably restricting your ability to earn a living after leaving BearingPoint.

To assist you in performing your duties, BearingPoint agrees to provide you special training regarding its business methods and access to certain confidential and proprietary information and materials belonging to BearingPoint and to third parties, including its Clients and Prospective Clients who have furnished information to BearingPoint. You will be entrusted with business opportunities of BearingPoint and placed in a position to use and develop business goodwill on BearingPoint’s behalf. You agree that all of this non-public information, including the identities of BearingPoint’s Clients and Prospective Clients and their key decision makers or other client or prospect lists, is “Proprietary Information” as defined in Exhibit C. In keeping with the obligations imposed by Exhibit C, you agree that you will not, at any time during or after your employment at BearingPoint, make any unauthorized disclosure of BearingPoint’s Proprietary Information to any third party or otherwise use such Proprietary Information to BearingPoint’s competitive disadvantage.

c.

By executing this Agreement, you authorize BearingPoint to engage in self-help and deduct or withhold from any compensation otherwise due or owing to you in order to satisfy such forfeiture; provided, however, that any such deduction or withholding shall occur only at the time when payment of such compensation would otherwise have been made under the terms of the applicable policy or plan.
