No Competing Employment The Executive acknowledges that the agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7 are essential to protect the value of the Company’s, or any of its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’, business and assets and by his current employment with the Company and its subsidiaries, the Executive has obtained and will obtain such knowledge, contacts, know-how, training and experience and there is a substantial probability that such knowledge, know-how, contacts, training and experience could be used to the substantial advantage of a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and to the Company’s, or any of its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’, substantial detriment. Therefore, the Executive agrees that for the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the first anniversary of the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder (such period is hereinafter referred to as the “Restricted Period”) with respect to any State in which the Company is engaged in business during the Employment Term, the Executive shall not participate or engage, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person, partnership, corporation or other entity, whether as an employee, agent, officer, director, partner or joint venturer, in any business activities if such activity consists of any activity undertaken or expressly contemplated to be undertaken by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by the Executive at any time during the last three (3) years of the Employment Term. The foregoing restrictions contained in this Section 7(a) shall not prevent the Executive from accepting employment with a large diversified organization with separate and distinct divisions that do not compete, directly or indirectly, with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, so long as prior to accepting such employment the Company receives separate written assurances from the prospective employer and from the Executive, satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the Executive will not render any services, directly or indirectly, to any division or business unit that competes, directly or indirectly, with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. During the Restricted Period, the Executive will inform any new employer, prior to accepting employment, of the existence of this Agreement and provide such employer with a copy of this Agreement.
Employment of Employee (a) Except as provided in Sections 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d), nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right which Employee may otherwise have to terminate Employee's employment, nor shall anything in this Agreement affect any right which the Company may have to terminate Employee's employment at any time in any lawful manner. (b) In the event of a Potential Change in Control, to be entitled to receive the benefits provided by this Agreement, Employee will not voluntarily leave the employ of the Company, and will continue to perform Employee's regular duties and the services specified in the recitals of this Agreement until the Change in Control Date. Should Employee voluntarily terminate employment prior to the Change in Control Date, this Agreement shall lapse upon such termination and be of no further force or effect. (c) If Employee's employment terminates on or after the Change in Control Date, the Company will provide to Employee the payments and benefits as provided in Sections 3 and 4. (d) If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company prior to the Change in Control Date but on or after a Potential Change in Control Date, then the Company will provide to Employee the payments and benefits as provided in Sections 3 and 4 unless the Company reasonably demonstrates that Employee's termination of employment neither (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control nor (ii) arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control. Solely for purposes of determining the timing of payments and the provision of benefits in Sections 3 and 4 under the circumstances described in this Section 2(d), Employee's date of termination shall be deemed to be the Change in Control Date.
Employees (a) No later than 11:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on the Agreement Date, Buyer shall provide Sellers a list of any Employees that Buyer would like to make an offer of employment (the “Offered Employees”). Between the Agreement Date and March 1, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), Buyer shall be permitted to add or remove Employees from the initial list of Offered Employees. Between March 1, 2023 and five (5) Business Days before the Closing, Buyer shall be permitted to remove Employees in an amount that deviates no more than ten (10%) percent from the initial list of Offered Employees, as may have been revised on or before March 1, 2023. Each Offered Employee who accepts such offer shall be deemed a “Transferred Employee”). At a time mutually agreed by the Parties, Sellers shall deliver a notice to each of the Offered Employees (i) informing such Offered Employees about the sale of the Acquired Assets to Buyer, and (ii) terminating their employment with Sellers. Immediately following such notification, Buyer may send a notice to each of the Offered Employees describing their offer of employment by Xxxxx. (b) By written notice to the Sellers no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer may, but shall not be required to, assume the sponsorship of such Seller Benefit Plans as selected by the Buyer (as an “Assumed Plan”). With respect to each Assumed Plan, Sellers shall take all actions necessary to effect the transfer of such sponsorship and all underlying trusts, insurance contracts and agreements of such Assumed Plan. With respect to each Assumed Plan, the Buyer shall be responsible for all liabilities accruing after the Closing (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall remain responsible for all liabilities accruing on or prior to the Closing). (c) For the avoidance of doubt, Xxxxx acknowledges that it will be responsible for all liabilities, obligations and claims arising out of the employment by Buyer of any Transferred Employee with respect to Xxxxx’s employment of such Transferred Employee on and after the date of employment of such Transferred Employee with Buyer. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, Sellers shall make available COBRA (or equivalent) benefits for each Employee that is terminated on the Closing Date and not made an offer of employment by Buyer and Buyer shall have no obligations or liability in connection therewith. (d) Seller shall provide Buyer such information as it reasonably requests to effect the provisions of this Section 6.15.
Company Employees Each Party shall not, directly or indirectly solicit for employment, any employee of the other Party who has been directly involved in the performance of this Agreement during the Term and for one year after the earlier of the termination or expiration of this Agreement or the termination of such individual's employment, with the other Party. It shall not be a violation of this provision if any employee responds to a Party's general advertisement of an open position.
