It shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Executive to (1) serve on corporate, civic, or charitable boards or committees (except for boards or committees of a business organization that competes with an Employer in any business in which the Employer is regularly engaged), which are listed on Exhibit A so long as such service does not materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, as determined in the good faith opinion of the Board of MEI and the Board of MERI, (2) manage personal investments, or (3) take vacation days and reasonable absences due to injury or illness, as set forth herein and/or permitted by the general policies of the Employers. (b) Executive represents and covenants to the Employers that he is not subject or a party to any employment agreement, noncompetition covenant, nondisclosure agreement, or any other agreement, covenant, understanding, or restriction that would prohibit Executive from executing this Agreement and fully performing his duties and responsibilities hereunder, or would in any manner, directly or indirectly, limit or affect the duties and responsibilities that may now or in the future be assigned to Executive hereunder.

During the period of employment hereunder, Executive shall devote to the business of Employer substantially the same amount of Executive’s time and efforts that Executive devoted to the business of Employer prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that this Section shall not be construed as preventing Executive from investing Executive’s personal assets in business ventures that do not compete with Employer or Employer’s Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) or are not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement, and spending reasonable amounts of personal time in the management thereof.
