No Post-Employment Obligations No Company Employee Plan provides, or reflects or represents any liability to provide, retiree life insurance, retiree health or other retiree employee welfare benefits to any person for any reason, except as may be required by COBRA or other applicable statute, and the Company has never represented, promised or contracted (whether in oral or written form) to any Employee (either individually or to Employees as a group) or any other person that such Employee(s) or other person would be provided with retiree life insurance, retiree health or other retiree employee welfare benefit, except to the extent required by statute.
Post-Employment Obligations Executive agrees that the following obligations are reasonable and are necessary to protect Employer’s business. Executive further acknowledges that these obligations do not restrict his ability to be gainfully employed, and he acknowledges that any geographic boundary, scope of prohibited activities, and time duration in these obligations are reasonable in nature and no broader than are necessary to protect the Employer’s legitimate business interests. In consideration for his employment and for Employer’s promises herein, Executive agrees that, for a period of two (2) years following his last day of employment, except with the express written consent of the Board, he shall not either directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf or in conjunction with any other person, partnership, corporation or other entity:
(i) own, maintain, engage in, render any services for, manage, have any financial interest in, or permit his name to be used in connection with as a shareholder, bondholder, creditor, officer, director, partner, agent, contractor with, employer or representative of, or in any manner associated with, or give financial, technical or other assistance to, any person, firm or corporation for the purpose of engaging in the copier/office equipment dealer, distribution, sales or service business, or in any other business in which Executive is actively engaged in on behalf of Employer, within a 100 mile radius of any of Employer’s office facilities in the United States of America that Employer operates an office facility in existing on the date of Executive’s termination of employment (the “Current Trade Area”);
(ii) enter into any agreement with, service, assist or solicit the business of any persons or entities who were customers of Employer as of, or within two (2) years of, the date of Executive’s termination of employment, for the purpose of providing copier/office equipment dealer sales or service to such customers in the Current Trade Area in competition with Employer or any of its affiliates or to cause such customers to reduce or end their business with Employer; or
(iii) enter into any agreement with, or solicit the employment of any persons who were employees, consultants or representatives of Employer as of, or within two (2) years of, the date of Executive’s termination of employment, for the purpose of causing such persons to leave the employment of Employer; provided, however, that no owner of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation shall be deemed to be in violation of this Section 4(b) solely by reason thereof.
No Employment Obligation I understand that this Agreement does not create an obligation on the Company or any other person to continue my employment. I acknowledge that, unless otherwise agreed in a formal written employment agreement signed on behalf of the Company by an authorized officer, my employment with the Company is at will and therefore may be terminated by the Company or me at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.
Company Obligations Upon Termination of Employment During the Term of this Agreement, the Company shall have the following obligations upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company as described in this Section 5:

(ii) if Executive's employment shall be terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason, then the Company shall pay Executive his Base Salary (at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given) through the Date of Termination, and the Company shall have no additional obligations to Executive under this Agreement.
(b) For any other reason. If Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason other than those provided in Section 6(a) above, then:
(i) the Company shall pay Executive his full salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given, and an amount equal to the product of (x) all bonuses and awards that would have been earned by Executive upon completion of each award cycle that began during the Term but had not been completed as of the Date of Termination, calculated as though the full achievement of all goals and targets relating thereto had been achieved in full and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the beginning of the applicable bonus or award cycle to and including the Date of Termination and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in such cycle; and
(ii) in lieu of paying any further compensation to Executive for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay to the Executive severance payments in the form of continuation of Executive's Base Salary in effect as of the Date of Termination for a period of two (2) years following such Date of Termination (the "Severance Payment Period").

The Companys Payment Obligation The Company’s obligation to make the payments and the arrangements provided for herein will be absolute and unconditional, and will not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any offset, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other right which the Company may have against the Executive or anyone else. All amounts payable by the Company hereunder will be paid without notice or demand. Each and every payment made hereunder by the Company will be final, and the Company will not seek to recover all or any part of such payment from the Executive or from whomsoever may be entitled thereto, for any reasons whatsoever. The Executive will not be obligated to seek other employment in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Agreement, and the obtaining of any such other employment will in no event effect any reduction of the Company’s obligations to make the payments and arrangements required to be made under this Agreement, except to the extent provided in Sections 3.3(e) and (f) herein. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Severance Benefits are paid under this Agreement, no severance benefits under any program of the Company, other than benefits described in this Agreement, will be paid to the Executive.

The obligations in this subsection are in addition to any other agreements related to non-solicitation and preservation of Company confidential and proprietary information entered into between the Participant and the Company, or otherwise applicable to the Participant, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive, modify, alter or amend the terms of any such other agreement. THE PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS SUBSECTION IS NOT INTENDED TO AND DOES NOT PROHIBIT THE CONDUCT DESCRIBED, BUT PROVIDES FOR THE CANCELLATION OF THE AWARD IN FULL AND A RETURN TO THE COMPANY OF ANY SHARES RECEIVED ON SETTLEMENT OF VESTED PSUS OR THE NET AFTER-TAX INCOME FROM THE DISPOSITION OF ANY SHARES RECEIVED UPON SETTLEMENT OF VESTED PSUS IF THE PARTICIPANT SHOULD CHOOSE TO VIOLATE THIS PARAGRAPH DURING THE OBLIGATION PERIOD.
