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.
