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.

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.
