In addition, pursuant to this agreement and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Mr. Elenz will be required to comply with covenants relating to non-competition, non-disclosure of confidential information, non-solicitation of U.S. Cellular employees, cooperation with U.S. Cellular in the event of any proceedings and communications relating to U.S. Cellular and comply with a general release and covenant not to sue. On each of January 8, 2014 and July 14, 2014, U.S. Cellular will pay Mr. Elenz $329,007 in consideration for his obligations under such agreement.
