Confidential Information the Executive may be given about the Company’s strategic plans, its acquisition targets, and cost and profit margins in various markets, for example, will not be limited to the area around the corporate office or any other particular geographic area of the country. Thus, the scope of Executive’s obligation to not compete with the Company cannot reasonably be limited to a particular geographic area. Executive’s employment with any business that provides Non-hazardous Solid Waste Management services, regardless of location, is likely to harm the Company’s business interests. Accordingly, Executive agrees that he will not Render Services to any Competitor or any Principal Competitor that are: (i) rendered in a state in which the Company does business; or (ii) directed at achieving, or intended to achieve, a result in any such state.
(d) The parties acknowledge that they have chosen Arizona law to apply to this Agreement (see Section 11.6) and that Arizona courts have not addressed under what circumstances, and to what extent, restrictive covenants that apply to a multi-state area are enforceable. Thus, the parties wish to include Section 10.3(d) as a back-up to the restrictions in Section 10.3(c) in the event a court concludes that those restrictions are not reasonably limited and xxxxxx the applicable portions of Section 10.3(c) under Arizona’s “blue pencil” rule. Accordingly, Executive will not Render Services to any Competitor or Principal Competitor that are: (i) rendered within forty (40) miles of any Facility; or (ii) directed at achieving, or intended to achieve, a result within forty (40) miles of any Facility. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions in this Section 10.3(d) are separate and apart from the restrictions in Section 10.3(c) above.
(e) Additionally, Executive will not Render Services to any business providing portable toilet street sweeping or other services within forty (40) miles of any Facility at which the same or similar services are provided.
(f) The non-compete restrictions in this Section 10.3 are expressly intended to preclude the Executive from physically working in a geographic area that is not covered by the applicable restriction (i.e., working in a state in which the Company is not conducting business) but where the Executive’s responsibilities would include any management, oversight or analysis of a business unit in a geographic area covered by the applicable restriction.

Prohibition Against Competition After Employment. (a) The Executive agrees that, after the Date of Termination, he will not compete with the Company to the extent, and subject to the express limitations, provided in this Section 10.3.

(b) The Executive’s obligation not to compete with the Company will end three (3) years after the Date of Termination. If a court concludes that three (3) years is an unreasonable time for that obligation, the Executive’s obligation to not compete with the Company will end two (2) years after the Date of Termination.
(c) During the Executive’s employment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, he will be active in all significant management and operational issues and will possess Confidential Information regarding the Company’s operations across the nation, not just in any particular geographic area around where his office is or will be located.
