Common use of COMMON PROVISIONS Clause in Contracts

COMMON PROVISIONS. The restrictions in Paragraphs 5 and 5bis shall not be construed to prevent the Grantee from, following the termination of his/her employment with the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group, working for a business entity that does not compete with the Company or its subsidiaries simply because the entity is affiliated with a Competing Enterprise, so long as the entity is operationally separate and distinct from the Competing Enterprise and the Grantee’s job responsibilities at that entity are unrelated to the Competing Enterprise. The restrictions in the foregoing Paragraphs (5 and 5bis) will not apply to employment by or the rendering of services to businesses that sell fuel or convenience items if those businesses are not directly competing with the Company or its subsidiaries, owned or controlled. The restrictions in the foregoing Paragraphs (5 and 5bis) shall also not be deemed to prohibit the Grantee from owning not more than one percent (1%) of the total shares of all classes of stock of any publicly held company. The Grantee acknowledges that the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses are conducted internationally and agrees that the provisions in the foregoing Paragraphs (5 and 5bis) shall operate in any country in which the Company conducts business while the Grantee is/was employed by the Company. Existing Restrictions - The Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group has previously entered into agreements with certain executives and employees that contain restrictive covenants (“Restrictions”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee is party to an employment or other agreement containing Restrictions on (a) confidentiality, (b) solicitation of customers, clients, and/or patrons or prospective customers, clients and/or patrons of the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group, (c) solicitation or hire of employees of the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group, and/or (d) competition (collectively, “Existing Restrictions”), any such Existing Restrictions will remain in effect and the Grantee shall remain bound by such Existing Restrictions. To the extent the restrictions contained in Paragraphs 4, 5 or 5bis of this Agreement conflict in any way with any Existing Restriction(s), such conflict shall be resolved by giving effect to the provision that provides the greatest protection to the Company and any company or entity of the WEX Group that is enforceable under applicable law. In case several provisions offer the same level of protection, the most recent one shall prevail. The Grantee agrees and acknowledges that the period of time, geographical scope, activity and subject of the above-noted restrictive covenants imposed by this Agreement are fair, and reasonable and necessary under the circumstances and are reasonably required for the protection of the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group. The Grantee also acknowledges that in the event he/she breaches any part of Paragraphs 4, 5 or 5bis of this Agreement, the damages to the Company would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney fees, the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group shall have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement. Further, the Grantee consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding. The Grantee further understands and agrees that if he/she breaches any covenant set forth in Paragraph 5 or 5bis, the duration of any covenant so breached shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, automatically be tolled from the date of the first breach until the date judicial relief providing effective remedy for such breach or breaches is obtained by the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group, or until the Company or any company or entity of the WEX Group states in writing that it will seek no judicial relief for such breach. Severability - If any one or more provisions of Paragraphs 4, 5 or 5bis shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the greatest extent compatible with applicable law as it shall then appear, and the parties expressly agree that any of the provisions of Paragraphs 4, 5 or 5bis may be reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled to make such provision enforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the parties consent to the enforcement of such provision as so reformed, modified, revised, edited or blue-penciled. Mindful of the obligations set forth in Paragraphs 4, 5 or 5bis, upon termination of his/her employment, the Grantee shall promptly sign and deliver the Certificate of Compliance Post Termination in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. It is explicitly agreed that, except for the paragraphs above on (i) Existing Restrictions and (ii) Severability, the provisions of Paragraph 5ter do not apply in relation to the Belgian Alternative Provision 1 nor in relation to the Belgian Alternative Provision 2 nor in relation to the Belgian Alternative Provision 3.
