Agreement not to Participate in Company’s Competitors During Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive agrees not to acquire, assume or participate in, directly or indirectly, any position, investment or interest known by Executive to be adverse or antagonistic to the Company, its business, or prospects, financial or otherwise, or in any company, person, or entity that is, directly or indirectly, in competition with the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates (as defined below). Ownership by Executive, in professionally managed funds over which the Executive does not have control or discretion in investment decisions, or as a passive investment, of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation with one or more classes of its capital stock listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Section. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate,” means, with respect to any specific entity, any other entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified entity.
Agreement Not to Solicit Employees Executive agrees that during Executive’s employment with the Company hereunder and during the Non-Solicitation Period, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, on Executive’s own behalf or in the service or on the behalf of others solicit, divert, or hire away, or attempt to solicit, divert, or hire away any person then employed by the Company, nor encourage anyone to leave the Company’s employ. The Non-Solicitation Period set forth in this Section 11.5 shall be tolled during any period in which the Executive is in breach of the restriction set forth herein.
ELECTION NOT TO PARTICIPATE If the Employer's Plan is a Standardized Plan, the Plan does not permit an otherwise eligible Employee nor any Participant to elect not to participate in the Plan. If the Employer's Plan is a Nonstandardized Plan, the Employer must specify in its Adoption Agreement whether an Employee eligible to participate, or any present Participant, may elect not to participate in the Plan. For an election to be effective for a particular Plan Year, the Employee or Participant must file the election in writing with the Plan Administrator not later than the time specified in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. The Employer may not make a contribution under the Plan for the Employee or for the Participant for the Plan Year for which the election is effective, nor for any succeeding Plan Year, unless the Employee or Participant re-elects to participate in the Plan. After an Employee's or Participant's election not to participate has been effective for at least the minimum period prescribed by the Employer's Adoption Agreement, the Employee or Participant may re-elect to participate in the Plan for any Plan Year and subsequent Plan Years. An Employee or Participant may re-elect to participate in the Plan by filing his election in writing with the Plan Administrator not later than the time specified in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. An Employee or Participant who re-elects to participate may again elect not to participate only as permitted in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. If an Employee is a Self-Employed Individual, the Employee's election (except as permitted by Treasury regulations without creating a Code Section 401(k) arrangement with respect to that Self-Employed Individual) must be effective no later than the date the Employee first would become a Participant in the Plan and the election is irrevocable. The Plan Administrator must furnish an Employee or a Participant any form required for purposes of an election under this Section 2.06. An election timely filed is effective for the entire Plan Year.
