No Disadvantage No employee shall suffer a reduction in pay as a result of the making of this Agreement. The components used to determine if any financial disadvantage has occurred are wage rates, productivity allowance and excess fares and travel time only. Site allowance, superannuation, redundancy and top-up/24 hour employee insurance contributions will not form part of an employee’s income. Further, this assessment will be based on an ordinary 36-hour working week and no overtime shall be taken into account.
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises The sponsor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex, in the award and performance of any DOT-assisted contract covered by 49 CFR Part 26, or in the award and performance of any concession activity contract covered by 49 CFR Part 23. In addition, the sponsor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin or sex in the administration of its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) programs or the requirements of 49 CFR Parts 23 and 26. The sponsor shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Parts 23 and 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts, and/or concession contracts. The sponsor’s DBE and ACDBE programs, as required by 49 CFR Parts 26 and 23, and as approved by DOT, are incorporated by reference in this agreement. Implementation of these programs is a legal obligation and failure to carry out its terms shall be treated as a violation of this agreement. Upon notification to the sponsor of its failure to carry out its approved program, the Department may impose sanctions as provided for under Parts 26 and 23 and may, in appropriate cases, refer the matter for enforcement under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 and/or the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986 (31 U.S.C. §§ 3801-3809, 3812).
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise To the extent authorized by applicable federal laws, regulations, or requirements, the Recipient agrees to facilitate, and assures that each Third Party Participant will facilitate, participation by small business concerns owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, also referred to as “Disadvantaged Business Enterprises” (DBEs), in the Underlying Agreement as follows:
Competitive Activity To the extent a Participant lives in a jurisdiction where restrictive covenants are void as against public policy, this Section 6(b) shall be considered deleted from and therefore not part of this Agreement. (i) The Participant shall be deemed to have engaged in “Competitive Activity” if, during the period commencing on the Date of Grant and ending on the date that is 12 months after the Termination Date (the “Restricted Activity Period”), the Participant, whether on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person (as defined below), directly or indirectly, violates any of the following prohibitions: (I) During the Restricted Activity Period, the Participant will not, whether on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any individual, person, firm, part-nership, joint venture, association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise whatsoever (“Person”), directly or indirectly, solicit or assist in soliciting in competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the business of any client or prospective client: (1) with whom the Participant had personal contact or dealings on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates during the one-year period preceding the Termination Date; (2) with whom employees reporting to the Participant have had personal contact or dealings on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates during the one-year period preceding the Termination Date; or (3) for whom the Participant had direct or indirect responsibility during the one-year period preceding the Termination Date. (II) During the Restricted Activity Period, the Participant will not directly or indirectly: (1) engage in any business that competes with the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including, but not limited to, providing formulation/dose form technologies and/or contract services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, over-the-counter and vitamins/minerals/supplements companies related to pre-clinical and clinical development, formulation, analysis, manufacturing and/or packaging and any other technology, product or service of the type developed, manufactured or sold by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, without limitation, any other business that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates have plans to engage in as of the Termination Date) in any geographical area where the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates conducts business (a “Competitive Business”); (2) enter the employ of, or render any services to, any Person (or any division or controlled or controlling Affiliate of any Person) who or which engages in a Competitive Business; (3) acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any Competitive Business, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (4) interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, any business relationship (whether formed before, on or after the Date of Grant) between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any customer, client, supplier, or investor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Participant may, directly or indirectly own, solely as an investment, securities of any Person engaged in any Competitive Business that are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market if the Participant (i) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such Person and (ii) does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person. Any such qualifying ownership shall not be deemed to be engaging in Competitive Activity or a Restrictive Covenant Violation for purposes of this Agreement. (III) During the Restricted Activity Period, the Participant will not, whether on the Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any Person, directly or indirectly: (1) solicit or encourage any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to leave such Employment; or (2) hire any such employee who was employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as of the Termination Date or who left the employment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates coincident with, or within six (6) months prior to or after, the Termination Date; provided, however, that this restriction shall cease to apply to any employee who has not been employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for at least six (6) months. (IV) During the Restricted Activity Period, the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage to cease to work with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates any consultant then under contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. (ii) It is expressly understood and agreed that although the Participant and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Section 6(b) to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against the Participant, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained in this Section 6(b).
