Covenants as Essential Elements of this Agreement It is understood by and between the parties hereto that the foregoing covenants contained in Sections 7(a) and (b) are essential elements of this Agreement, and that but for the agreement by the Executive to comply with such covenants, the Company would not have agreed to enter into this Agreement. Such covenants by the Executive shall be construed to be agreements independent of any other provisions of this Agreement. The existence of any other claim or cause of action, whether predicated on any other provision in this Agreement, or otherwise, as a result of the relationship between the parties shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of such covenants against the Executive.
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.
Restrictive Covenants and Confidentiality As a condition to the effectiveness of this Agreement, Executive will execute and deliver to the Company contemporaneously herewith Exhibit B, the Loyalty Agreement. Executive agrees to abide by the terms of the Loyalty Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that the provisions of the Loyalty Agreement will survive the termination of Executive’s employment and the termination of the Term for the periods set forth in the Loyalty Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no payment shall be made or benefit provided pursuant to Section 4(c) following the date Executive first violates any of the restrictive covenants set forth in the Loyalty Agreement, and as of the first date on which Executive violates any such restrictive covenants, Executive shall pay the Company an amount equal to the sum of all payments theretofore paid to Executive pursuant to Section 4(c).
Duration, Termination and Amendments of this Agreement This Agreement shall become effective as of the day and year first above written, shall govern the relations between the parties hereto thereafter and shall remain in force for a period of two years from its effectiveness, on which date it will terminate unless its continuance with respect to a Fund after that date is "specifically approved at least annually" (a) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or of Citi Management at a meeting specifically called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund. This Agreement may be terminated at any time with respect to a Fund without the payment of any penalty by the Trustees or by the "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund, or by the Manager, in each case on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice to the other party. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its "assignment." This Agreement may be amended with respect to a Fund only if such amendment is approved by the "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund (except for any such amendment as may be effected in the absence of such approval without violating the 1940 Act).
Restrictive Covenant The Employer and the Executive have jointly reviewed the tenant lists, property submittals, logs, broker lists, and operations of the Employer, and have agreed that as an essential ingredient of and in consideration of this Agreement and the payment of the amounts described in Sections 3 and 4 hereof, the Executive hereby agrees that, except with the express prior written consent of the Employer, for a period equal to the lesser of the number of FULL months the Executive has at any time been employed by the Employer or twenty-four (24) months after the termination of the Executive's employment with the Employer (the "Restrictive Period"), he will not directly or indirectly compete with the business of the Employer, including, but not by way of limitation, by directly or indirectly owning, managing, operating, controlling, financing, or by directly or indirectly serving as an employee, officer or director of or consultant to, or by soliciting or inducing, or attempting to solicit or induce, any employee or agent of Employer to terminate employment with Employer and become employed by any person, firm, partnership, corporation, trust or other entity which owns or operates a business similar to that of the Employer (the "Restrictive Covenant"). For purposes of this subparagraph (a), a business shall be considered "similar" to that of the Employer if it is engaged in the acquisition, development, ownership, operation, management or leasing of suburban office property (i) in any geographic market or submarket in which the Employer owns more than 750,000 s.f. of properties either as of the date hereof or as of the date of termination of the Executive's employment. If the Executive violates the Restrictive Covenant and the Employer brings legal action for injunctive or other relief, the Employer shall not, as a result of the time involved in obtaining such relief, be deprived of the benefit of the FULL period of the Restrictive Covenant. Accordingly, the Restrictive Covenant shall be deemed to have the duration specified in this paragraph (a) computed from the date the relief is granted but reduced by the time between the period when the Restrictive Period began to run and the date of the first violation of the Restrictive Covenant by the Executive. In the event that a successor of the Employer assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement or otherwise acquires the Employer, this Restrictive Covenant shall continue to apply only to the primary service area of the Employer as it existed immediately before such assumption or acquisition and shall not apply to any of the successor's other offices or markets. The foregoing Restrictive Covenant shall not prohibit the Executive from owning, directly or indirectly, capital stock or similar securities which are listed on a securities exchange or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System which do not represent more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding capital stock of any corporation.
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.
Restrictive Covenants The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional Indebtedness, make payments in respect of its Capital Stock or certain Indebtedness, enter into transactions with Affiliates, create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting Subsidiaries, merge or consolidate with any other Person, sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or adopt a plan of liquidation. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
DURATION, TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT This Agreement shall become effective on the date first above written and shall govern the relations between the parties hereto thereafter, and shall remain in force until December 29, 2002 on which date it will terminate unless its continuance after December 29, 2002 is "specifically approved at least annually" (i) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or of the Adviser at a meeting specifically called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii) by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, or by "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund. This Agreement may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Trustees or by "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund, or by the Adviser, in each case on not more than sixty days' nor less than thirty days' written notice to the other party. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its "assignment". This Agreement may be amended only if such amendment is approved by "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of the Fund.
