Covenant Not to Compete 4.1 Employee hereby covenants and agrees with the Company that during the term hereof and for a period expiring 12 months after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Employee will not directly or indirectly (i) operate, develop or own any interest (other than the ownership of less than 5% of the equity securities of a publicly traded company other than the Company or any entity controlling the Company) in any business which has significant (viewed in relation to the business of the Company) activities relating to the ownership, management or operation of, or consultation regarding a casual dining restaurant of which steak sales constitute 35% or more of total restaurant sales (a "Restaurant"); (ii) compete with the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates in the operation or development of any Restaurant within the 48 contiguous states of the United States of America; (iii) be employed by or consult with any business which owns, manages or operates a Restaurant; (iv) interfere with, solicit, disrupt or attempt to disrupt any past, present or prospective relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the Company, or its subsidiaries or affiliates, and any customer, client, supplier or employee of the Company, or its subsidiaries or affiliates; or (v) solicit any present or known prospective management employee (including all corporate officers and managers, all area or divisional directors and all restaurant general managers) of the Company, or its subsidiaries or affiliates, to leave their employment with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or hire any management employee who was employed by the Company within six months prior to the date of such hiring to work in any capacity; provided, however, that this Section 4.1 shall not apply if Employee's employment hereunder is terminated without cause prior to the expiration of the Agreement. 4.2 If a judicial determination is made that any of the provisions of this Section 4 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against Employee, the provisions of this Section 4 shall be rendered void only to the extent that such judicial determination finds such provisions to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable. In this regard, the parties hereto hereby agree that any judicial authority construing this Agreement shall be empowered to sever any portion of the territory or prohibited business activity from the coverage of this Section 4 and to apply the provisions of this Section 4 to the remaining portion of the territory or the remaining business activities not so severed by such judicial authority. Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that any provisions of this Section 4 are determined not to be specifically enforceable, the Company shall nevertheless be entitled to recover monetary damages as a result of the breach of such provision by Employee. The time period during which the prohibitions set forth in this Section 4 shall apply shall be tolled and suspended as to Employee for a period equal to the aggregate quantity of time during which Employee violates such prohibitions in any respect.
Prohibition on Non-Compete Restrictions Grantee shall not require any employees or Subcontractors to agree to any conditions, such as non-compete clauses or other contractual arrangements, that would limit or restrict such persons or entities from employment or contracting with the State of Texas.
