Restriction on Competition The Participant agrees that if the Participant were to become employed by, or substantially involved in, the business of a competitor of the Company or any of its Affiliates during the twelve (12) months following his or her separation from service, it would be very difficult for the Participant not to rely on or use the Company's and its Affiliates' trade secrets and confidential information. Thus. to avoid the inevitable disclosure of the Company's and its Affiliates' trade secrets and confidential information, and to protect such trade secrets and confidential information and the Company's and its Affiliates' relationships and goodwill with customers, during his or her employment with or performance of services to the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Participant's termination of service, the Participant will not directly or indirectly through any other Person engage in, enter the employ of, render any services to, have any ownership interest in. nor participate in the financing, operation, management or control of, any Competing Business. For purposes of this Award Agreement, the phrase "directly or indirectly through any other Person engage in" shall include, without limitation, any direct or indirect ownership or profit participation interest in such enterprise, whether as an owner, stockholder, member, partner, joint venturer or otherwise, and shall include any direct or indirect participation in such enterprise as an employee, consultant, director, officer, licensor of technology or otherwise. For purposes of this Award Agreement, "Competing Business" means a Person anywhere in the continental United States or elsewhere in the world where the Company or any of its Affiliates engage in business, or reasonably anticipate engaging in business, on the Participant's termination of service (the "Restricted Area") that at any time during his or her employment with or performance of services to the Company has competed, or at any time during the twelve (12) month period following the Participant's termination of service, competes with the Company or any of its Affiliates in any of its or their businesses, including, without limitation, theatrical exhibition, digital cinema, internet ticketing and virtual box office for theatrical exhibitions, IMAX or other three dimensional screened entertainment, pre-show content, cinema or lobby advertising products, meeting and event services or special in-theater events. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Participant from (i) being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation that is publicly traded, so long as the Participant has no active participation in the business of such corporation, (ii) providing services to a Person otherwise engaged in a Competing Business, provided the Participant provides no services to any business operated, managed or controlled by such Person that causes such Person to constitute a Competing Business, or (iii) providing services to a Person the business or businesses of which are unrelated to theatrical exhibition.
