Non-Solicitation of Business The Participant agrees and acknowledges that by virtue of the Participant’s employment with, or service to, the Employer, the Participant has developed or will develop relationships with and/or had or will have access to Confidential Information about Customers and agents, brokers and similar key business partners (“Key Business Partners”) and is, therefore, capable of significantly and adversely impacting existing relationships that the Company or an Affiliate has with them. The Participant further agrees and acknowledges that the Company and/or its Affiliates have invested in their and the Participant’s relationship with Customers and Key Business Partners and the goodwill that has been developed with them; therefore, the Company and/or its Affiliates have a legitimate business interest in protecting these relationships against solicitation and/or interference by the Participant for a reasonable period of time after the Participant’s employment with, or provision of services to, the Employer ends. Accordingly, during the Participant’s employment with the Employer and during the Restricted Period, the Participant shall not, 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 or Key Business Partner’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. In addition to the foregoing restrictions, the Participant agrees that, during the Participant’s employment with the Employer and during the Enhanced Restricted Period, the Participant shall not be personally involved in the negotiation, competition for, solicitation or execution of any individual book roll over(s) or other book of business transfer arrangements involving the transfer of business away from the Company or an Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s primary residence is located in the State of California, the restrictions set forth in this subsection (c)(ii) shall be replaced with those set forth in Appendix I of this Agreement.
