Re: Non-Disclosure Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter agreement is entered between Devon Energy Corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”) and the undersigned (the “Participant”) in connection with that certain Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated _______________, 20___ between the Company and the Participant. All capitalized terms used in this letter agreement shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement unless specifically denoted otherwise.
The Participant acknowledges that, during the course of and in connection with the employment relationship between the Participant and the Company, the Company provided and the Participant accepted access to the Company’s trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information, which included, without limitation, information pertaining to the Company’s finances, oil and gas properties and prospects, compensation structures, business and litigation strategies and future business plans and other information or material that is of special and unique value to the Company and that the Company maintains as confidential and does not disclose to the general public, whether through its annual report and/or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise (the “Confidential Information”).
The Participant acknowledges that his position with the Company was one of trust and confidence because of the access to the Confidential Information, requiring the Participant’s best efforts and utmost diligence to protect and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. Unless required by the Company or with the Company’s express written consent, the Participant will not, during the term of this letter agreement, directly or indirectly, disclose to others or use for his own benefit or the benefit of another any of the Confidential Information, whether or not the Confidential Information is acquired, learned, attained or developed by the Participant alone or in conjunction with others.
The Participant agrees that, due to his access to the Confidential Information, the Participant would inevitably use and/or disclose that Confidential Information in breach of his confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations if the Participant worked in certain capacities or engaged in certain activities for a period of time following his employment with the Company, specifically in a position that involves (i) responsibility and decision-making authority or input at the executive level regarding any subject or responsibility, (ii) decision-making responsibility or input at any management level in the Participant’s individual area of assignment with the Company, or (iii) responsibility and decision-making authority or input that otherwise allows the use of the Confidential Information (collectively referred to as the “Restricted Occupation”). Therefore, except with the prior written consent of the Company, during the term of this letter agreement, the Participant agrees not to be employed by, consult for or otherwise act on behalf of any person or entity in any capacity in which he would be involved, directly or indirectly, in a Restricted Occupation. The Participant acknowledges that this commitment is intended to protect the
Confidential Information and is not intended to be applied or interpreted as a covenant against competition.
The Participant further agrees that during the term of this letter agreement, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly on behalf of a person or entity or otherwise, (i) solicit any of the established customers of the Company or attempt to induce any of the established customers of the Company to cease doing business with the Company, or (ii) solicit any of the employees of the Company to cease employment with the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this letter agreement is intended to conflict with the Defend Trade Secrets Act or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by that statute. In particular, under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, the Participant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company that is made (i) in confidence to a government official or to the Participant’s attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a proceeding. In addition, if the Participant files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Participant may disclose the trade secret to the Participant’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the Participant files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not otherwise disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Further, nothing in this letter agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with the Company shall prohibit or restrict the Participant from making any voluntary disclosure of information or documents pertaining to violations of law to any governmental agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, or the Legal Department of the Company without prior notice to the Company.
This letter agreement shall become effective upon execution by the Participant and the Company and shall terminate on March 31, 20___. [Note: Insert the year of the next scheduled Vesting Date of an Installment. For example, if the letter agreement is executed on March 31, 2018, the termination date inserted in the preceding sentence would be March 31, 2019.]
If you agree to the above terms and conditions, please execute a copy of this letter agreement below and return a copy to me.
