Common use of Business Opportunity Clause in Contracts

Business Opportunity. Executive hereby agrees to promote and develop all business opportunities that come to his attention relating to current or anticipated future business of the Company, in a manner consistent with the best interests of the Company and with his duties under this Agreement. Should Executive discover a business opportunity that does not relate to the current or anticipated future business of the Company, he shall first offer such opportunity to the Company. Should the Board of Directors of the Company not exercise its right to pursue this business opportunity within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed sixty (60) days, then Executive, with the consent of the Board of Directors, may develop the business opportunity for himself; provided, however, that such development may in no way conflict or interfere with the duties owed by Executive to the Company under this Agreement. Further, Executive may develop such business opportunities only on his own time, and may not use any service, personnel, equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secrets of the Company in their development. As used herein, the term "business opportunity" shall not include business opportunities involving investment in publicly traded stocks, bonds or other securities, or other investments of a personal nature.
