The provisions of Paragraphs 9 and 10 are agreed by the parties to be reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill of Arrow’s and its Affiliates’ Business, the good will of special/long-term customer relationships, Arrow’s and its Affiliates’ confidential information and trade secrets (including but not limited to information concerning their customers, marketing studies, marketing strategies, acquisition plans, costs, personnel and financial performance) and confidential customer information and to protect against unfair competition by an employee whose services are special, unique and/or extraordinary to the Business of Arrow and its Affiliates and their long-term success. Accordingly, the Executive agrees as follows:
Non-Compete During the term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Director’s removal or resignation from the Board of Directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (the “Restricted Period”), the Director shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) in any manner whatsoever engage in any capacity with any business competitive with the Company’s current lines of business or any business then engaged in by the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of its affiliates (the “Company’s Business”) for the Director’s own benefit or for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate; or (ii) have any interest as owner, sole proprietor, stockholder, partner, lender, director, officer, manager, employee, consultant, agent or otherwise in any business competitive with the Company’s Business; provided, however, that the Director may hold, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding securities of any person or entity which is listed on any national securities exchange or regularly traded in the over-the-counter market notwithstanding the fact that such person or entity is engaged in a business competitive with the Company’s Business. In addition, during the Restricted Period, the Director shall not develop any property for use in the Company’s Business on behalf of any person or entity other than the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates.
Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation The Employee undertakes, agrees and covenants with the Company that for a period of 6 (six) months from the termination/ expiry of this contract, as the case may be (“Non-Compete Period”), the Employee shall not, either directly or indirectly work with any company, association, firm, individual or carry on any activity, which is the same as, or similar to, or which competes or is reasonably likely to compete with, the business of the Company, including, but not limited, to any company involved in the field of Education technology. The Employee acknowledges that the restrictions on the competitive activity of the Employee set forth in this contract are mainly to protect the value of the Company due to the loss of an employee. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in this clause are no more extensive than is reasonable to protect the interests of the Company and to protect the business of the Company. The Employee acknowledges and deems the terms and conditions of this contract, including the remuneration given hereunder, to be adequate consideration for giving the undertakings contained in this clause.
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Disparagement (a) The Employee understands and recognizes that his services to the Company are special and unique and that in the course of performing such services the Employee will have access to and knowledge of Confidential and Proprietary Information (as defined in Section 5) and the Employee agrees that, during the Term and for a period of three (3) months thereafter, he shall not in any manner, directly or indirectly, on behalf of himself or any person, firm, partnership, joint venture, corporation or other business entity ("PERSON"), enter into or engage in any business which is engaged in any business directly competitive with the business of the Company, either as an individual for his own account, or as a partner, joint venturer, owner, Employee, employee, independent contractor, principal, agent, consultant, salesperson, officer, director or shareholder of a Person in a business competitive with the Company within the geographic area of the Company's business, which is deemed by the parties hereto to be worldwide. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee's employment is terminated under Section 8(c) or 8(d) of this Agreement or if Employees employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined herein), the preceding shall not apply and such restrictions on Employee's shall not exist. The Employee acknowledges that, due to the unique nature of the Company's business, the loss of any of its clients or business flow or the improper use of its Confidential and Proprietary Information could create significant instability and cause substantial damage to the Company and its affiliates and therefore the Company has a strong legitimate business interest in protecting the continuity of its business interests and the restriction herein agreed to by the Employee narrowly and fairly serves such an important and critical business interest of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to be actively engaged on the date hereof in the development of novel application drug delivery systems for presently marketed prescription and over-the-counter drugs and providing consulting services in connection therewith, and in the future in any other business in which it actually devotes substantive resources to study, develop or pursue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6(a) shall be deemed to prohibit the Employee from (i) acquiring or holding, solely for investment, publicly traded securities of any corporation, some or all of the activities of which are competitive with the business of the Company so long as such securities do not, in the aggregate, constitute more than three percent (3%) of any class or series of outstanding securities of such corporation.
