Duties of Executive Subject to the approvals by and the ultimate supervision of the Board, Executive during the term hereof shall serve as Employer’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. Subject to the control of the Board, Executive shall have the responsibilities commensurate with Executive’s title and as otherwise provided in Employer’s bylaws and other governing documents, but in any event, construed in a manner generally consistent with the responsibilities of Executive that existed immediately prior to the Effective Date. During the period of employment hereunder, Executive shall devote to the business of Employer substantially the same amount of Executive’s time and efforts that Executive devoted to the business of Employer prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that this Section shall not be construed as preventing Executive from investing Executive’s personal assets in business ventures that do not compete with Employer or Employer’s Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) or are not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement, and spending reasonable amounts of personal time in the management thereof. Employer acknowledges that Executive owns a material ownership interest in HealthTronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HTRN”), and that Executive serves as a director and may serve as an officer of HTRN. Employer agrees that Executive may continue to serve HTRN in such capacities and devote Executive’s time and efforts to such service in a manner generally consistent with the time and efforts devoted by Executive prior to the Effective Date. Consistent with the foregoing, Executive shall use Executive’s best efforts to promote the interests of Employer and Employer’s Affiliates, and to preserve their goodwill with respect to their employees, customers, suppliers and other persons having business relations with Employer. Executive agrees to accept and hold all such offices and/or directorships with Employer and Employer’s Affiliates as to which Executive may, from time to time, be elected. For purposes of this Agreement, Employer’s subsidiaries, parent companies and other affiliates are collectively referred to as “Affiliates.”
