RESTRICTION ON OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT Unless otherwise specified by the Employer as being in an area that could represent a conflict of interest, employees shall not be restricted in engaging in other employment outside the hours they are required to work for the Employer.
Restriction on Competition (a) During the Term and for such period after the Term that Employee continues to be employed by the Company and/or any other entity owned by or affiliated with the Company on an "at will" basis and, thereafter, for a period equal to the longer of (x) one year, or (y) the period during which Employee is receiving any severance pay or other compensation from the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, company, partnership, corporation, business, group, or other entity (each, a "Person"): (i) engage, in a competitive capacity, whether as an owner, officer, director, partner, shareholder, joint venturer, employee, independent contractor, consultant, advisor, or sales representative, in any business selling any products or services which were sold by the Company on the date of the termination of Employee's employment, within 50 miles of any location where the Company both has an office and conducts business on the date of the termination of Employee's employment; (ii) call upon any person who is, at that time, a sales, supervisory, or management employee of the Company for the purpose or with the intent of enticing such employee away from or out of the employ of the Company; (iii) call upon any person who or that is, at that time, or has been, within one year prior to that time, a customer of the Company for the purpose of soliciting or selling products or services in direct competition with the Company; or (iv) on Employee's own behalf or on behalf of any competitor, call upon any person who or that, during Employee's employment by the Company was either called upon by the Company as a prospective acquisition candidate with respect to which Employee had actual knowledge or was the subject of an acquisition analysis conducted by the Company with respect to which Employee had actual knowledge. (b) The foregoing covenants shall not be deemed to prohibit Employee from acquiring as an investment not more than two percent (2%) of the capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange or through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association. (c) It is further agreed that, in the event that Employee shall cease to be employed by the Company and enters into a business or pursues other activities that, on the date of termination of Employee's employment, are not in competition with the Company, Employee shall not be chargeable with a violation of this Section 7 if the Company subsequently enters the same (or a similar) competitive business or activity or commences competitive operations within 50 miles of the Employee's new business or activities. In addition, if Employee has no actual knowledge that his actions violate the terms of this Section 7, Employee shall not be deemed to have breached the restrictive covenants contained herein if, promptly after being notified by the Company of such breach, Employee ceases the prohibited actions. (d) For purposes of this Section 7, references to "Company" shall mean Workflow Management, Inc., together with its subsidiaries and affiliates. For the purposes of this Agreement, "affiliate" shall mean any entity twenty-five percent or more of the stock of which is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.
Limitation on Rights (a) This Agreement shall not be deemed to create a contract of employment between the Company and the Executive and shall create no right in the Executive to continue in the Company’s employment for any specific period of time, or to create any other rights in the Executive or obligations on the part of the Company, except as set forth herein. This Agreement shall not restrict the right of the Company to terminate the Executive, or restrict the right of the Executive to terminate employment. (b) Subject to the exception for cash severance payments under the Company’s documented severance policy referenced in Sections 3 and 4 above, this Agreement shall not be construed to exclude the Executive from participation in any other compensation or benefit programs in which the Executive is specifically eligible to participate either prior to or following the execution of this Agreement, or any such programs that generally are available to other executive personnel of the Company, nor shall it affect the kind and amount of other compensation to which the Executive is entitled. (c) The rights of the Executive under this Agreement shall be solely those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
Limitation on Parachute Payments (a) In the event that the payments or other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and (ii) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then Employee’s benefits under this Agreement shall be either (a) delivered in full, or (b) delivered to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary pursuant to the foregoing provision, reduction shall occur in the following order: reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; and reduction of employee benefits. If acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Employee’s stock awards. (b) Unless the Company and Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 12 shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Employee and the Company for all purposes and may be relied upon by the Company. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 12, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Employee shall provide to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 12. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 12.
Limitation on Participant’s Rights Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Stock Units, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to Stock Units, as and when payable hereunder.
Limitation on Rights; No Right to Future Grants; Extraordinary Item of Compensation By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Performance Stock Units evidenced hereby, the Participant acknowledges: (i) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time; (ii) that the Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards; (iii) that participation in the Plan is voluntary; (iv) that the value of the Performance Stock Units is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments; and (v) that the future value of the Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty.
Prohibition on Non-Compete Restrictions Grantee shall not require any employees or Subcontractors to agree to any conditions, such as non-compete clauses or other contractual arrangements, that would limit or restrict such persons or entities from employment or contracting with the State of Texas.
Limitation on Restricted Actions The Credit Parties will not, nor will they permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any such Person to (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions to any Credit Party on its Equity Interest or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, (b) pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to any Credit Party, (c) make loans or advances to any Credit Party, (d) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to any Credit Party, or (e) act as a Guarantor and pledge its assets pursuant to the Credit Documents or any renewals, refinancings, exchanges, refundings or extension thereof, except (in respect of any of the matters referred to in clauses (a)-(d) above) for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of (i) this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) applicable law, (iii) any document or instrument governing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 6.1(c); provided that any such restriction contained therein relates only to the asset or assets constructed or acquired in connection therewith, or (iv) any Permitted Lien or any document or instrument governing any Permitted Lien; provided that any such restriction contained therein relates only to the asset or assets subject to such Permitted Lien.
Limitation on Benefits Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any of the payments and benefits provided for under this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement between the Company and the Executive (collectively, the “Payments”) (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section 9(i), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Payments shall be payable either (i) in full or (ii) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code; whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the Executive’s receipt on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits under this Agreement, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Executive and the Company otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely in reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section. If the limitation set forth in this Section 9(i) is applied to reduce an amount payable to the Executive, and the Internal Revenue Service successfully asserts that, despite the reduction, the Executive has nonetheless received payments which are in excess of the maximum amount that could have been paid to the Executive without being subjected to any excise tax, then, unless it would be unlawful for the Company to make such a loan or similar extension of credit to the Executive, the Executive may repay such excess amount to the Company as though such amount constitutes a loan to the Executive made at the date of payment of such excess amount, bearing interest at 120% of the applicable federal rate (as determined under section 1274(d) of the Code in respect of such loan).
Limitations on Rights Associated with Units The Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Corporation, no dividend rights (except as expressly provided in Section 5(b) with respect to Dividend Equivalent Rights) and no voting rights, with respect to the Stock Units and any shares of Common Stock underlying or issuable in respect of such Stock Units until such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to and held of record by the Participant. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of the stock certificate.
