If Executive is elected or appointed an officer or director of the Company, or any other Related Entity, during the period of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will serve in such capacity without additional compensation.
(b) During the period of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive: (i) will devote 100% of his employment energies, interests, abilities and time to the performance of his duties and shall not, without the written consent of the President, render to others any service of any kind for compensation; (ii) will not render services to any business activity that is directly or indirectly competitive with any business conducted by the Company or any Related Entity; (iii) will observe and carry out such reasonable rules, regulations, policies, directions and restrictions as may be established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or the board of directors of any Related Entity, including but not limited to the published standard policies, practices and procedures of the Company as in effect from time to time as applied to other senior executives of the Company; and (iv) do such reasonable traveling on a global basis as may be required in connection with the performance of such duties and responsibilities consistent with such traveling requirements prior to the execution of this Agreement.
(c) Executive may serve on corporate, civic and/or charitable boards with the consent of the President, provided that the President may require Executive to resign any or all such board seats if he reasonably believes such board participation conflicts with Executive’s role with the Company or is otherwise too time-consuming or distracting to Executive.
