Scope of Employment (a) During the Employment, Executive will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In that connection, Executive will (i) devote his full-time attention and energies to the business of the Company and will diligently and to the best of his ability perform all duties incident to his employment hereunder; (ii) use his best efforts to promote the interests and goodwill of the Company; and (iii) perform such other duties commensurate with his office as the Board of Directors of the Company may from time-to-time assign to him.
(b) Section 2(a) shall not be construed as preventing Executive from (i) serving on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, or (ii) making investments in other businesses or enterprises; provided that in no event shall any such service, business activity or investment require the provision of substantial services by Executive to the operations or the affairs of such businesses or enterprises such that the provision thereof would interfere in any respect with the performance of Executive's duties hereunder; and subject to Section 6.
Employment of Employee (a) Except as provided in Sections 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d), nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right which Employee may otherwise have to terminate Employee's employment, nor shall anything in this Agreement affect any right which the Company may have to terminate Employee's employment at any time in any lawful manner.
(b) In the event of a Potential Change in Control, to be entitled to receive the benefits provided by this Agreement, Employee will not voluntarily leave the employ of the Company, and will continue to perform Employee's regular duties and the services specified in the recitals of this Agreement until the Change in Control Date. Should Employee voluntarily terminate employment prior to the Change in Control Date, this Agreement shall lapse upon such termination and be of no further force or effect.
(c) If Employee's employment terminates on or after the Change in Control Date, the Company will provide to Employee the payments and benefits as provided in Sections 3 and 4.
(d) If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company prior to the Change in Control Date but on or after a Potential Change in Control Date, then the Company will provide to Employee the payments and benefits as provided in Sections 3 and 4 unless the Company reasonably demonstrates that Employee's termination of employment neither (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control nor (ii) arose in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control. Solely for purposes of determining the timing of payments and the provision of benefits in Sections 3 and 4 under the circumstances described in this Section 2(d), Employee's date of termination shall be deemed to be the Change in Control Date.
