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.

Restrictive Covenants Agreement I understand that I am or will be an employee to or other service-provider of The Xxxxx Xxxxx Company and/or its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates (collectively the "Company"), and will learn and have access to the Company's confidential, trade secret and proprietary information and key business relationships. I understand that the products and services that the Company develops, provides and markets are unique. Further, I know that my promises in this Restrictive Covenants Agreement (the "Agreement") are an important way for the Company to protect its proprietary interests and that The Xxxxx Xxxxx Company would not have granted me RSUs or other equity grants unless I made such promises. In addition to other good and valuable consideration, I am expressly being given RSUs or other equity grants in exchange for my agreeing to the terms of this Agreement. In consideration of the foregoing, I (the "Executive") agree as follows:
Restrictive Covenant Agreement The Company’s obligations under this Agreement, including the Company’s agreement to provide severance and to allow Employee to participate in the other compensation programs as provided on Schedule A, is conditioned on Employee signing a Restrictive Covenant Agreement in the form of Schedule B (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”).
Restrictive Covenant Agreements The Executive agrees to be bound by the Invention and Non-Disclosure Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A and the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (Exhibit A and Exhibit B together referred to as the “Restrictive Covenant Agreements”), each of which are incorporated by reference herein. The provisions of the Restrictive Covenant Agreements shall survive the term of this Agreement pursuant to the terms set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable.
Protective Covenants In consideration of the Award granted under this Agreement, the Grantee covenants and agrees as follows (the “Protective Covenants”):
(a) During the Grantee’s Service with the Company, and for a two-year period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company, the Grantee agrees not to (i) compete or attempt to compete for, or act as a broker or otherwise participate in, any projects in which the Company has at any time done any work or undertaken any development efforts, or (ii) directly or indirectly solicit any of the Company’s customers, vendors, contractors, agents, or any other parties with which the Company has an existing or prospective business relationship, for the benefit of the Grantee or for the benefit of any third party, nor shall the Grantee accept consideration or negotiate or enter into agreements with such parties for the benefit of the Grantee or any third party.
(b) During the Grantee’s Service with the Company and for a two-year period following the termination of the Grantee’s Service with the Company, the Grantee shall not, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Grantee or for any other business, person or entity, entice, induce or solicit or attempt to entice, induce or solicit any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates to leave the Company’s employ (or the employ of any such Subsidiary or other Affiliate) or to hire or to cause any employee of the Company to become employed for any reason whatsoever.
(c) The Grantee shall not, at any time or in any way, disparage the Company or its current or former officers, directors, and employees, orally or in writing, or make any statements that may be derogatory or detrimental to the Company’s good name or business reputation.
(d) The Grantee acknowledges that the Company would not have an adequate remedy at law for monetary damages if the Grantee breaches these Protective Covenants. Therefore, in addition to all remedies to which the Company may be entitled for a breach or threatened breach of these Protective Covenants, including but not limited to monetary damages, the Company will be entitled to specific enforcement of these Protective Covenants and to injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for a breach or threatened breach. In addition, upon any breach of these Protective Covenants or any separate confidentiality agreement or confidentiality provision between the Company and the Grantee, all of the Grantee’s rights to receive Performance Shares not theretofore delivered under this Agreement shall be forfeited.
(e) For purposes of this section 9, the term “Company” shall include all Subsidiaries and other Affiliates of the Company (such Subsidiaries and other Affiliates being hereinafter referred to as the “NextEra Entities”). The Company and the Grantee agree that each of the NextEra Entities is an intended third-party beneficiary of this section 9, and further agree that each of the NextEra Entities is entitled to enforce the provisions of this section 9 in accordance with its terms.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the terms of these Protective Covenants shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect.
Executive Covenants This is an Exhibit A to, and forms a part of, an agreement with the Company relating to employment and post-employment competition (the "Presidents' Council Agreement"). This Exhibit shall not diminish in any way Executive's rights under the terms of such Presidents' Council Agreement, except that Executive's receipt of benefits under this Exhibit is contingent upon Executive's compliance in all material respects with all of the terms and conditions of the Presidents' Council Agreement.
Breach of Restrictive Covenants Without limiting the remedies available to the Company, Employee acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 10 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Company Group for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm or injury as a result of such breach or threatened breach of Section 10 hereof, restraining Employee from engaging in activities prohibited by Section 10 hereof or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce any of the covenants in Section 10 hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of violation of any of the covenants in Section 10 (b) or (c) hereof and during any other period required for litigation during which the Company seeks to enforce such covenants against Employee if it is ultimately determined that Employee was in breach of such covenants.
Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenants (a) The Executive acknowledges that:
(i) the Company (which, for purposes of this Section 8 shall include the Company and each of its subsidiaries and affiliates) operates membership warehouse clubs in Central America, Colombia and the Caribbean (the “Business”);
(ii) the Company is dependent on the efforts of a certain limited number of persons who have developed, or will be responsible for developing the Company’s Business;
(iii) the Company’s Business is international in scope;
(iv) the Business in which the Company is engaged is intensely competitive and that Executive’s employment by the Company will require that he have access to and knowledge of nonpublic confidential information of the Company and the Company’s Business, including, but not limited to, certain/all of the Company’s products, plans for creation, acquisition or disposition of products or publications, strategic and expansion plans, formulas, research results, marketing plans, financial status and plans, budgets, forecasts, profit or loss figures, distributors and distribution strategies, pricing strategies, improvements, sales figures, contracts, agreements, then existing or then prospective suppliers and sources of supply and customer lists, undertakings with or with respect to the Company’s customers or prospective customers, and patient information, product development plans, rules and regulations, personnel information and trade secrets of the Company, all of which are of vital importance to the success of the Company’s business (collectively, “Confidential Information”);
(v) the direct or indirect disclosure of any Confidential Information would place the Company at a serious competitive disadvantage and would do serious damage, financial and otherwise, to the Company’s business;
(vi) by his training, experience and expertise, the Executive’s services to the Company is special and unique;
(vii) the covenants and agreements of the Executive contained in this Section 8 are essential to the business and goodwill of the Company; and
(viii) if the Executive leaves the Company’s employ to work for a competitive business, in any capacity, it would cause the Company irreparable harm.
Survival of Restrictive Covenants Employee acknowledges that the above restrictive covenants shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason. Employee further acknowledges that any alleged breach by the Company of any contractual, statutory or other obligation shall not excuse or terminate the obligations hereunder or otherwise preclude the Company from seeking injunctive or other relief. Rather, Employee acknowledges that such obligations are independent and separate covenants undertaken by Employee for the benefit of the Company.
