Accordingly, during the Participant’s employment with the Employer and during the Restricted Period, the Participant shall not use or rely in any manner on any Confidential Information to directly or indirectly initiate, contact or engage in any contact or communication, of any kind whatsoever, that has the purpose or effect of: (A) inviting, assisting, encouraging or requesting any Customer or Key Business Partner to (1) transfer the Participant’s business from the Company or an Affiliate to the Participant, the Participant’s subsequent employer or any other third party, or (2) otherwise diminish, divert, discontinue or terminate Customer’s patronage and/or business relationship with the Company or an Affiliate; or (B) inviting, assisting, encouraging or requesting any Customer to purchase any products or services from the Participant, the Participant’s subsequent employer or any other third party that are or may be competitive with the products or services of the Company or an Affiliate, or use any products or services of the Participant, the Participant’s subsequent employer or of any other third party that are or may be competitive with the products or services of the Company or an Affiliate.
