Landmark. I agree and confirm that I will not reproduce, copy or otherwise duplicate, make derivative
works of, distribute, lend or otherwise transfer, the Program Materials, without the prior written permission
of Landmark in each instance, nor will I assist or enable any other person or organization in so doing. I

weaken the confidential and exclusive ownership of, Landmark in and to the Program Materials.

I understand that the Program Materials presented by Landmark in this Program are intended solely for use
in the Program and are being provided to me solely on the basis that I will only use the Program Materials

c) Returning Business Records and Company Property. I agree that, immediately
upon the termination of this Agreement by myself or by Landmark for any reason, I shall immediately
deliver to Landmark all Business Records, Company Property, pieces of apparatus, equipment, and other
physical property, or any reproduction of such property, excepting only (i) my personal copies of any
materials previously distributed to me which shall be used solely for my personal use; and (ii) a copy of
this Agreement. I will securely delete any information relating to the business of Landmark stored on any
personal electronic devices and all matter derived therefrom that is in my possession, custody, care or
control within or outside the premises of the Landmark and shall produce such evidence of compliance with
this clause as Landmark may reasonably require.

2.3 CONFIDENTIALITY. I understand that participating in the Program as an assistant creates


an agency relationship of confidence and trust between me and Landmark with respect to Proprietary
Materials, Business Records, and Company Property. I understand and acknowledge that during the course
of my assisting with Landmark, I will have access to and will learn about Proprietary Materials and Business
Records (as defined above), in tangible and intangible form, of and relating to Landmark and its businesses

third parties]. At all times, both during participation in the Program and after, I will keep in confidence and

trust and shall not use or disclose any Proprietary Materials and/or Business Records, or anything relating
thereto, without the prior written consent of Landmark in each instance, except as may be necessary in the
ordinary course of performing assisting duties for Landmark with Company's advance knowledge and
consent.

I further understand and acknowledge that Landmark’s Proprietary Materials and Business Records, and
Landmark’s ability to reserve such Proprietary Materials and Business Records for the exclusive knowledge
and use of Landmark, is of great competitive importance and commercial value to Landmark, and I further
understand and acknowledge that improper use or disclosure of the Proprietary Materials and Business
Records by me shall cause Landmark to incur financial costs, loss of business advantage, liability under
confidentiality agreements with third parties, civil damages, and criminal penalties.

I understand that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit me from providing truthful testimony in any
legal, administrative or regulatory proceedings and I may at all times respond truthfully to a lawfully-issued
subpoena, court order or governmental inquiry or as otherwise may be required by law, provided that upon
receiving such lawfully-issued subpoena or court order, I shall immediately but no later than 5 (five)
business days from receipt provide Landmark with written notice and a copy of such subpoena, court order,
or governmental inquiry, and shall cooperate with Landmark to the extent reasonably necessary to protect
the confidentiality of any Proprietary Materials, Business Records, and privacy rights of Landmark and any
individual.

2.4 PROGRAM RECORDING RELEASE. Landmark from time to time records its programs
("Program Recordings"). As a participant in the Program, I may be included in such Program Recordings.
I understand that these Program Recordings are for quality assurance and training purposes (i.e. such
Program Recordings will not be disseminated or displayed to the public and are considered confidential.)
As a condition of my participation in the Program, I hereby grant to Landmark the right to record my name,
voice, actions, image, appearance, and likeness (collectively, "Likeness") in such Program Recordings for
such internal purposes and I hereby consent to the recording, use and reuse by Landmark of my Likeness
in any and all media now known or hereafter devised, worldwide without limitations in time for such
internal purposes. I further grant Landmark the exclusive, perpetual right to copyright, publish, reproduce,
exhibit, transmit, broadcast, televise, digitize, display, otherwise use, and permit others to use my Likeness
in connection with such internal purposes without further consent from or payment to me; and I hereby

Landmark Worldwide Assisting Program Participation Agreement | Page 3


release and discharge Landmark from any and all claims, demands or causes of action that I may now or
hereafter have by reason of anything contained in the Program Recordings or portions thereof or their use
as specified above.

In rare instances where Program Recordings may be used for purposes beyond such internal purposes,
Landmark will obtain express written permission from program participants prior to using any individual's
Likeness.

2.5 ARBITRATION [U.S.A. Only]. Except where expressly prohibited by law, I agree that
any dispute, claim or controversy arising from or relating to my participation in the Program (or any of its
associated activities), including without limitation the interpretation, application, execution, performance
or enforcement of any provision of this Agreement or concerning Landmark, and/or other participants in
the Program, including any claims of wrongful acts or omissions in my registration in the Program and the
warnings and disclosure, content or delivery of the Program (or any of its associated activities) by
Landmark, will be submitted to and determined by final and binding arbitration.

3 of 6
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4D5CBEB0-470B-4903-ACF6-AE492526C00B

The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS (a private alternative dispute resolution (ADR)
provider) in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and judgment on the
award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be a retired judge or an otherwise qualified
individual. The place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California. The arbitration shall be governed
by the laws of the State of California. The award shall be made within twelve (12) months of the filing of
the notice of intention to arbitrate (demand), and the arbitrator shall agree to comply with this schedule
before accepting the appointment. However, this time limit may be extended by the arbitrator for good
cause shown, or by mutual agreement of the parties. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award
exemplary or punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, except as
may be required by statute. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorney’s
fees as determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator, in rendering an award in any arbitration conducted
pursuant to this provision, shall issue a reasoned award stating the findings of fact and conclusions of law
on which it is based, and the arbitrator shall be required to follow the laws of the State of California.

Neither Landmark nor I shall be entitled to commence or maintain any action in a court of law upon any
matter in dispute until such matter shall have been submitted to arbitration and determined as provided
herein and then only for the enforcement of such arbitration award; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding this dispute resolution policy, Landmark may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction in
the City and County of San Francisco, California, to seek injunctive relief before or after the pendency of
any arbitration proceeding. The institution of any action for injunctive relief shall not constitute a waiver
of the right or obligation of mine or of Landmark to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive
relief to arbitration.
Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or
results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties. The parties agree that
failure or refusal of a party to pay its required share of the deposits for arbitrator compensation or
administrative charges shall constitute a waiver by that party to present evidence or cross-examine a
witness. In such an event, the other party shall be required to present evidence and legal argument as the
arbitrator may require for the making of an award. Such a waiver shall not allow for a default judgment
against the non-paying party in the absence of evidence presented as provided for above.

Landmark Worldwide Assisting Program Participation Agreement | Page 4


I agree that arbitration is the sole and exclusive procedure for the resolution of disputes between
Landmark and me.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT IN WHICH I FREELY GIVE UP MY


RIGHT TO BRING MY CLAIMS IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT AND HAVE A JURY OR COURT
TRIAL.

2.6 BREACH OF AGREEMENT. I agree that the damages to Landmark as a result of a breach
or alleged breach of this Agreement by me are irreparable and cannot be remedied by an action at law for
damages and that Landmark shall have the right, in addition to its other rights and remedies in such event,
to injunctive and other equitable relief.

loss, cost, obligation, and/or damage arising out of my participation in the Program or in other activities

internal purposes described above, or those claims that arise as the result of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landmark. I willingly and knowingly assume for myself, my family members, executors,
administrators, heirs, successors, legal representatives, and assigns all risks of physical and mental or
emotional injuries that may occur during or after the Program.

continuing waiver of this Agreement or be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the
waiver. The failure of Landmark to enforce any of its rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as
a waiver of any of its rights at any time thereafter.
