Covenants of Employee (A) During the term of Employee's employment with the Corporation and for all time thereafter Employee covenants and agrees that Employee will not in any manner directly or indirectly, except as required in Employee's duties to the Corporation, disclose or divulge to any person, entity, firm or company whatsoever, or use for Employee's own benefit or the benefit of any other person, entity, firm or company, directly or indirectly, any knowledge, devices, information, techniques, customer lists, business plans or other data belonging to the Corporation or developed by Employee on behalf of the Corporation during his employment with the Corporation, without regard to whether all of the foregoing matters will be deemed confidential, material or important, the parties hereto stipulating, as between them, that the same are important, material, confidential and the property of the Corporation, that disclosure of the same to or use of the same by third parties would greatly affect the effective and successful conduct of the business of the Corporation and the goodwill of the Corporation, and that any breach of the terms of this subparagraph (A) shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
(B) During the term of Employee's employment with the Corporation and for a period of two (2) years (the "Covenant Term") after cessation for whatever reason of such employment (except as hereinafter provided in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph 7), Employee covenants and agrees that Employee will not in any manner directly or indirectly:
(i) solicit, divert, take away or interfere with any of the customers (or their respective affiliates or successors) of the Corporation;
(ii) engage directly or indirectly, either personally or as an employee, partner, associate partner, officer, manager, agent, advisor, consultant or otherwise, or by means of any corporate or other entity or device, in any business which is competitive with the business of the Corporation. For purposes of this covenant a business will be deemed competitive if it is conducted in whole or in part within any geographic area wherein the Corporation is engaged in marketing its products, and if it involves the manufacture of component parts for the aerospace industry or any other business which is in any manner competitive, as of the date of cessation of Employee's employment, with any business then being conducted by the Corporation or as to which the Corporation has then formulated definitive plans to enter;

(i) reduced to six (6) months in the event all of the operating assets or all of the common stock of the Corporation is sold to any entity or individuals unaffiliated with the Corporation, its successors or assigns; or
(ii) eliminated if the business currently operated by the Corporation is terminated and the assets of the Corporation are liquidated.
(D) All the covenants of Employee contained in this paragraph 7 shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action against the Corporation, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Corporation of these covenants.
(E) It is the intention of the parties to restrict the activities of Employee under this paragraph 7 only to the extent necessary for the protection of legitimate business interests of the Corporation, and the parties specifically covenant and agree that should any of the provisions set forth therein, under any set of circumstances not now foreseen by the parties, be deemed too broad for such purpose, said provisions will nevertheless be valid and enforceable to the extent necessary for such protection.
By Executive for Good Reason The Executive, by written notice to the Company, may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder if a “Good Reason” exists. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following circumstances without the Executive’s prior written consent: (a) a substantial and material adverse change in the nature of Executive’s title, duties or responsibilities with the Company that represents a demotion from his title, duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such change (such change, a “Demotion”); provided, however, that in the event of a “Change in Control” (as defined below), no Demotion shall be deemed to have occurred as long as Executive shall remain as the Company’s head operational officer, notwithstanding title; (b) material breach of this Agreement by the Company; (c) a failure by the Company to make any payment to Executive when due, unless the payment is not material and is being contested by the Company, in good faith; or (d) a liquidation, bankruptcy or receivership of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no “Good Reason” shall be deemed to exist with respect to the Company’s acts described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above, unless Executive shall have given written notice to the Company within a period not to exceed ten (10) calendar days of the initial existence of the occurrence, specifying the “Good Reason” with reasonable particularity and, within thirty (30) calendar days after such notice, the Company shall not have cured or eliminated the problem or thing giving rise to such “Good Reason”; provided, however, that no more than two cure periods shall be provided during any twelve-month period of a breach of clauses (a), (b) or (c) above. Upon such termination, the Company shall pay to Executive the amount set forth in Section 4.6(c). “Change in Control” shall mean the acquisition, by any person or entity other than the Company and/or any officers or directors of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, of securities of the Company (in one or more transactions) having 50% or more of the total voting power of all the Company’s securities than outstanding.
