other things, an Order including “[t]emporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive 
relief”; 
WHEREAS, the parties desire to resolve this matter by way of this Stipulated 
Permanent Injunction and pursuant to a separate settlement agreement (the 
“Settlement Agreement”), compliance with which is a condition of the parties’ mutual 
resolution; 
WHEREAS, to facilitate such a resolution, Plaintiffs and Defendant (with the 
assistance, advice and consent of counsel) consent and stipulate to the entry of a 

Permanent Injunction against Defendant, and in favor of the Plaintiffs, as more fully set

entity, who or which is or was a customer, business prospect or other person
who had a business relationship with United resulting in and/or for the purpose
of providing or obtaining any product or service reasonably deemed competitive
with any product or service then offered by United; provided, however, that this
limitation shall apply only with respect to persons or entities with whom Morgan

(d) through January 15, 2027 , (i) approve, solicit or retain, or discuss the

solicit or encourage any person to leave the employ of United;
(e) use or disclose United’s trade secrets and/or Confidential Information; and/or
