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.
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.
No Obligation to Continue Service Relationship Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Award Agreement to continue the Grantee in employment or other service relationship and neither the Plan nor this Award Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or other service relationship of the Grantee at any time.
No Obligation to Continue Business Relationship Neither the Plan, this agreement, nor the grant of this option imposes any obligation on the Company to continue the Optionee in employment or other Business Relationship.
Compensation of Consultant The Company hereby agrees to compensate Consultant $1,000 per month payable on the first business day of the month.
No Right to Continued Service Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained in any position, as an Employee, Consultant or Director of the Company. Further, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause.
Management Fees and Compensation No Credit Party shall, and no Credit Party shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to, pay any management, consulting or similar fees to any Affiliate of any Credit Party or to any officer, director or employee of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party except:
No Rights to Continued Service Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Participant any right to be retained in any position as a consultant or director of the Company or its Affiliates or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the right of the Company or its Affiliates, which is hereby expressly reserved, to remove, terminate or discharge the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever.
Company Not to Diminish Benefits of Rights The Company covenants and agrees that after the earlier of the Shares Acquisition Date or Distribution Date it will not, except as permitted by Section 23, Section 26 or Section 27, take (or permit any Subsidiary to take) any action if at the time such action is taken it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will substantially diminish or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights.
Limitation on Rights; No Right to Future Grants; Extraordinary Item of Compensation By accepting this Agreement and the grant of the Restricted Units contemplated hereunder, the Participant expressly acknowledges that (a) the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Corporation at any time; (b) the grant of Restricted Units is a one-time benefit that does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of restricted units, or benefits in lieu of restricted units; (c) all determinations with respect to future grants of restricted units, if any, including the grant date, the number of Shares granted and the restricted period, will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation; (d) the Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (e) the value of the Restricted Units is an extraordinary item of compensation that is outside the scope of the Participant’s employment contract, if any, and nothing can or must automatically be inferred from such employment contract or its consequences; (f) grants of restricted units are not part of normal or expected compensation for any purpose and are not to be used for calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments, and the Participant waives any claim on such basis; and (g) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty. In addition, the Participant understands, acknowledges and agrees that the Participant will have no rights to compensation or damages related to restricted unit proceeds in consequence of the termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of contract.
