Employment of Employee (a) Except as provided in Sections 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d), nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right which Employee may otherwise have to terminate Employee’s employment, nor shall anything in this Agreement affect any right which the Company may have to terminate Employee’s employment at any time in any lawful manner.
Covenants of Employee The Employee covenants and agrees that:
Extent of Employment (a) During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall perform his obligations hereunder faithfully and to the best of his ability at the principal executive offices of the Company, under the direction of the Board of Directors and/or Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and shall abide by the rules, customs and usages from time to time established by the Companies.
Employment of Executive Employer hereby agrees to employ Executive, and Executive hereby agrees to be and remain in the employ of Employer, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
Commencement of Employment 2.1 The Employment will start on 1 June 2009 (the “Commencement Date”). The Employment will continue until termination in accordance with the provisions of this agreement.
Contract of Employment Although this Agreement is intended to provide the Executive with an additional incentive to remain in the employ of the Employer, this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Executive and the Employer nor shall any provision of this Agreement restrict or expand the right of the Employer to terminate the Executive's employment. This Agreement shall have no impact or effect upon any separate written Employment Agreement which the Executive may have with the Employer, it being the parties' intention and agreement that unless this Agreement is specifically referenced in said Employment Agreement (or any modification thereto), this Agreement (and the Employer's obligations hereunder) shall stand separate and apart and shall have no effect upon, nor be affected by, the terms and provisions of said Employment Agreement.
Nonsolicitation of Employees While employed by the Company and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, for himself or for any other person, firm, corporation, partnership, association or other entity, attempt to employ or enter into any contractual arrangement with any employee or former employee of the Company, unless such employee or former employee has not been employed by the Company for a period in excess of six months.
Scope of Employment (a) During the Employment, Executive will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In that connection, Executive will (i) devote his full-time attention and energies to the business of the Company and will diligently and to the best of his ability perform all duties incident to his employment hereunder; (ii) use his best efforts to promote the interests and goodwill of the Company; and (iii) perform such other duties commensurate with his office as the Board of Directors of the Company may from time-to-time assign to him.
Indemnification of Employee The Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold Employee harmless for any acts or decisions made in good faith while performing services for the Company. To the same extent, the Company will pay, and subject to any legal limitations, advance all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of court-approved settlements, actually and necessarily incurred by Employee in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding and in connection with any appeal, which has been brought against Employee by reason of his service as an officer or agent of the Company.
Position of Employment Employee expressly acknowledges that the obligations contained in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during Employee’s employment in any position for any Company Group member and with respect to any Confidential Information.
