Restriction (a) Except as provided in this Article VI, Subtenant covenants and agrees that whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise neither this Sublease nor the term and estate hereby granted, nor any interest herein or therein, will be assigned, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred and that neither the Subleased Premises nor any part thereof will be encumbered in any manner by reason of any act or omission on the part of Subtenant, or used or occupied or permitted to be used or occupied, by anyone other than Subtenant, or for any use or purpose other than a Permitted Use, or be sublet (which term, without limitation, shall include granting of concessions, licenses and the like) in whole or in part, or be offered or advertised for assignment or subletting without the prior written consent of Sublandlord and Master Landlord, which consent of Sublandlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Master Lease applicable to Master Landlord’s consent rights). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant shall have the right to conduct a Permitted Transfer (as hereinafter defined) without Sublandlord’s prior consent, but upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Sublandlord, sublet all or any portion of the Subleased Premises or assign its interest in this Sublease to: (i) to any person(s) or entity who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, (ii) to any entity resulting from the merger, acquisition, consolidation or other reorganization with Tenant, whether or not Tenant is the surviving entity, (iii) to any person or legal entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Tenant (each of the foregoing is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”).
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, any agreement pursuant to which: (x) Subtenant is relieved from the obligation to pay, or a third party agrees to pay on Subtenant’s behalf, all or any portion of Basic Rent, Escalation Charges or other charges due under this Sublease; and/or (y) a third party undertakes or is granted the right to assign or attempt to assign this Sublease or sublet or attempt to sublet all or any portion of the Subleased Premises, shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to be an assignment of this Sublease and subject to the provisions of this Article VI. Unless the stock or partnership interest (or other evidence of the ownership of Subtenant) is registered and publicly traded on an exchange regulated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the provisions of this paragraph (a) shall apply to a transfer (by one or more transfers over the Sublease Term) of fifty one percent (51%) or more of the stock or partnership interests or other evidences of ownership of Subtenant as if such transfer were a prohibited assignment of this Sublease.
(c) If, in violation of this Article 6, this Sublease be assigned, or if the Subleased Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Subtenant and there is an Default of Subtenant, Sublandlord may, at any time and from time to time, collect rent and other charges from the assignee or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent and other charges herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy, collection or modification of any provisions of this Sublease shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee or occupant as a Subtenant or a release of Subtenant from the further performance of covenants on the part of Subtenant to be performed hereunder. Any consent by Sublandlord to a particular subletting or occupancy shall not in any way diminish the prohibition stated in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.1 or the continuing liability of the original named Subtenant. No assignment or subletting hereunder shall relieve Subtenant from its obligations hereunder and Subtenant shall remain fully and primarily liable therefor. No such assignment, subletting, or occupancy shall affect or be contrary to Permitted Uses. Any consent by Sublandlord to a particular assignment, subletting or occupancy shall be revocable, and any assignment, subletting or occupancy shall be void ab initio, if the same shall fail to require that such assignee or occupant agree therein to be independently bound by and upon all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Sublease on the part of Subtenant to be kept and performed.
(d) If Sublandlord (and Master Landlord to the extent required under the Master Lease), consents to Subtenant’s assignment of this Sublease or further sublease of the Subleased Premises at a rental or for other consideration in excess of the Rent due and payable by Subtenant under this Sublease, then Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as “Additional Rent”: (a) on the first day of each month during the term of any such sublease or assignment, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of all rent and other consideration received from the sub-subtenant or assignee for such month over the Rent then payable to Sublandlord pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease for said month (or if only a portion of the Subleased Premises is being sublet, the excess of all rent and other consideration due from the sub-subtenant for such month over the portion of the Rent then payable to Sublandlord pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease for said month), after deducting Subtenant’s reasonable, out-of-pocket transaction costs for brokerage commissions, legal fees, tenant improvements, and free rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this sharing of profits shall not apply to Permitted Transfers.
Restriction on Activities Commencing as of the date first above written, and until the earlier of payment of the Note in full or full conversion of the Note, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, without the Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld: (a) change the nature of its business; or (b) sell, divest, acquire, change the structure of any material assets other than in the ordinary course of business.
Restriction on Competition (a) During the Term and for such period after the Term that Employee continues to be employed by the Company and/or any other entity owned by or affiliated with the Company on an "at will" basis and, thereafter, for a period equal to the longer of (x) one year, or (y) the period during which Employee is receiving any severance pay or other compensation from the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person, company, partnership, corporation, business, group, or other entity (each, a "Person"):
(i) engage, in a competitive capacity, whether as an owner, officer, director, partner, shareholder, joint venturer, employee, independent contractor, consultant, advisor, or sales representative, in any business selling any products or services which were sold by the Company on the date of the termination of Employee's employment, within 50 miles of any location where the Company both has an office and conducts business on the date of the termination of Employee's employment;
(ii) call upon any person who is, at that time, a sales, supervisory, or management employee of the Company for the purpose or with the intent of enticing such employee away from or out of the employ of the Company;
(iii) call upon any person who or that is, at that time, or has been, within one year prior to that time, a customer of the Company for the purpose of soliciting or selling products or services in direct competition with the Company; or
(iv) on Employee's own behalf or on behalf of any competitor, call upon any person who or that, during Employee's employment by the Company was either called upon by the Company as a prospective acquisition candidate with respect to which Employee had actual knowledge or was the subject of an acquisition analysis conducted by the Company with respect to which Employee had actual knowledge.
(b) The foregoing covenants shall not be deemed to prohibit Employee from acquiring as an investment not more than two percent (2%) of the capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange or through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association.
(c) It is further agreed that, in the event that Employee shall cease to be employed by the Company and enters into a business or pursues other activities that, on the date of termination of Employee's employment, are not in competition with the Company, Employee shall not be chargeable with a violation of this Section 7 if the Company subsequently enters the same (or a similar) competitive business or activity or commences competitive operations within 50 miles of the Employee's new business or activities. In addition, if Employee has no actual knowledge that his actions violate the terms of this Section 7, Employee shall not be deemed to have breached the restrictive covenants contained herein if, promptly after being notified by the Company of such breach, Employee ceases the prohibited actions.
(d) For purposes of this Section 7, references to "Company" shall mean Workflow Management, Inc., together with its subsidiaries and affiliates. For the purposes of this Agreement, "affiliate" shall mean any entity twenty-five percent or more of the stock of which is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.
Reasonableness of Restrictive Covenants (a) Executive acknowledges that the covenants contained in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 are reasonable in the scope of the activities restricted, the geographic area covered by the restrictions, and the duration of the restrictions, and that such covenants are reasonably necessary to protect the Company's legitimate interests in its Confidential Information and in its relationships with its employees, customers and suppliers. Executive further acknowledges such covenants are essential elements of this Agreement and that, but for such covenants, the Company would not have entered into this Agreement.
(b) The Company and Executive have each consulted with their respective legal counsel and have been advised concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such covenants. Executive acknowledges that his observance of the covenants contained in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 will not deprive him of the ability to earn a livelihood or to support his dependents.
Prohibition (1) Section 889(a)(1)(A) of the Xxxx X. XxXxxx National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232) prohibits the head of an executive agency on or after August 13, 2019, from procuring or obtaining, or extending or renewing a contract to procure or obtain, any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system. The Contractor is prohibited from providing to the Government any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system, unless an exception at paragraph (c) of this clause applies or the covered telecommunication equipment or services are covered by a waiver described in FAR 4.2104.
(2) Section 889(a)(1)(B) of the Xxxx X. XxXxxx National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Pub. L. 115-232) prohibits the head of an executive agency on or after August 13, 2020, from entering into a contract, or extending or renewing a contract, with an entity that uses any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system, unless an exception at paragraph (c) of this clause applies or the covered telecommunication equipment or services are covered by a waiver described in FAR 4.2104. This prohibition applies to the use of covered telecommunications equipment or services, regardless of whether that use is in performance of work under a Federal contract.
Reasonable and Necessary Restrictions The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions, prohibitions and other provisions hereof, including, without limitation the Restriction Period, are reasonable, fair and equitable in terms of duration, scope and geographic area, are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and are a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement.
Restriction on Transfer, Proxies and Non-Interference Except as contemplated hereby, the Stockholder shall not (i) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any of his or her Shares, (ii) grant any proxies, deposit any shares of capital stock of the Company into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any such Shares or (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling the Stockholder from performing his or her obligations under this Voting Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder shall be permitted to (i) transfer any of the Owned Shares to any member of the immediate family of the Stockholder or any trust, limited partnership or other entity the beneficial ownership of which is held by the Stockholder or such family members (each, a "Permitted Transferee"), so long as such Permitted Transferee agrees in writing, in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser, to be bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as the Stockholder is bound and provided further, however, that no such transfer shall relieve the Stockholder of his or her obligations hereunder if such Permitted Transferee does not perform such obligations, (ii) dispose of any Owned Shares in payment of the exercise price or any withholding taxes in connection with any exercise by the Stockholder of stock options outstanding on the date of this Voting Agreement to acquire shares of capital stock of the Company and (iii) transfer by gift to any charitable organization up to the number of Owned Shares indicated on Schedule A under the heading "Maximum Number of Shares that May be Transferred by Gift."
Restrictive Covenant (a) The Employee hereby acknowledges and recognizes that, during the Employment Period, the Employee will be privy to trade secrets and confidential proprietary information critical to the Company's business and the Employee further acknowledges and recognizes that the Company would find it extremely difficult or impossible to replace the Employee and, accordingly, the Employee agrees that, in consideration of the benefits to be received by the Employee hereunder, the Employee will not, from and after the date hereof until the first anniversary of the termination of the Employment Period (or six months after the termination of the Employment Period if such termination is as a result of a termination for Good Reason following a Change in Control), (i) directly or indirectly engage in the development, production, marketing or sale of products that compete (or, upon commercialization, would compete) with products of the Company being developed (so long as such development has not been abandoned), marketed or sold at the time of the Employee's termination (such business or activity being hereinafter called a "Competing Business") whether such engagement shall be as an officer, director, owner, employee, partner, affiliate or other participant in any Competing Business, (ii) assist others in engaging in any Competing Business in the manner described in the foregoing clause (i), or (iii) induce other employees of the Company or any subsidiary thereof to terminate their employment with the Company or any subsidiary thereof or engage in any Competing Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Competing Business" shall not include any business or activity that was not conducted by the Company prior to the effective date of a Change in Control.
(b) The Employee understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit the ability of the Employee to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the business of the Company, but nevertheless believes that the Employee has received and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits, as an employee of the Company and as otherwise provided hereunder, to justify such restrictions which, in any event (given the education, skills and ability of the Employee), the Employee believes would not prevent the Employee from earning a living.
Reasonableness of Restrictions 2.4.1 Employee has carefully read and considered the provisions of Article 2 hereof and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth in such Article (including, but not limited to, the time period of restriction and the geographical areas of restriction set forth in Article 2 hereof) are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the interest of Company, its officers, directors and other employees.
2.4.2 In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the provisions of Article 2 hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions thereof shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable as though the invalid or unenforceable parts had not been included therein. In the event that any provision of Article 2 relating to time period and/or areas of restriction shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period or areas such court deems reasonable and enforceable, said time period and/or areas of restriction shall be deemed to become and thereafter be the maximum time period and/or areas which such court deems reasonable and enforceable.
