Competitive Products Competitive Products" means products that serve the same function as, or that could be used to replace, products the Company provided to, offered to, or was in the process of developing for a present, former, or future possible customer/partner at any time during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the last day of Participant's employment (or at any time during Participant's employment if Participant was employed for less than 12 months), with which Participant had direct responsibility for the sale or development of such products or managing those persons responsible for the sale or development of such products.
Restricted Territory Executive and Company understand and agree that Company’s business is not geographically restricted and is unrelated to the physical location of Company facilities or the physical location of any Competing Business, due to extensive use of the Internet, telephones, facsimile transmissions and other means of electronic information and product distribution. Executive and Company further understand and agree that Executive will, in part, work toward expanding Company’s markets and geographic business territories and will be compensated for performing this work on behalf of Company. Accordingly, Company has a protectable business interest in, and the parties intend the Restricted Territory to encompass, each and every location from which Executive could engage in a Competing Business in any country, state, province, county or other political subdivision in which Company has clients, employees, suppliers, distributors or other business partners or operations. If, but only if, this Restricted Territory is held to be invalid on the ground that it is unreasonably broad, the Restricted Territory shall include each location from which Executive can conduct business in any of the following locations: each state in the United States in which Company conducts sales or operations, each province within Canada in which Company conducts sales or operations, and each political subdivision of the United Kingdom in which Company conducts sales or operations. If, but only if, this Restricted Territory is held to be invalid on the grounds that it is unreasonably broad, then the Restricted Territory shall be any location within a fifty (50) mile radius of any Company office.
Non-Competition Period The "non-competition period" shall begin on January 1, 2017 and shall end twelve (12) months after the Employee's termination of employment; provided, however, that the "non-competition period" shall end on the date Employee's employment ends in the event of Employee's termination for "good reason" (as defined in paragraph 6(d)), or Employee's termination without "cause" (as defined in paragraph 3(d)).
Generic Competition If a Licensed Product is sold in a country where a product that is an AB Rated Product with respect to such Licensed Product is sold or marketed by a Third Party pursuant to a regulatory approval for the commercial sale and marketing thereof for human therapeutic or prophylactic use in such country, then the royalty rate applicable under Section 5.2(f)(i) to Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced to [*] percent ([*]%) of the rate originally stated therein (i.e., reduced to [*]% or [*]%, depending on worldwide Net Sales), effective with respect to all Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country occurring on or after the first day of the first calendar month following the month during which such AB Rated Product is first sold in such country.

(i) solicit, offer employment to, or take any other action intended (or that a reasonable person acting in like circumstances would expect) to have the effect of causing any officer or employee of the Bank, or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliates, to terminate his employment and accept employment or become affiliated with, or provide services for compensation in any capacity whatsoever to, any business whatsoever that competes with the business of the Bank, or any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries or affiliates, that has headquarters or offices within 25 miles of any location(s) in which the Bank has business offices or has filed an application for regulatory approval to establish an office (the “Restricted Territory”);
(ii) become an officer, employee, consultant, director, independent contractor, agent, joint venturer, partner or trustee of any savings bank, savings and loan association, savings and loan holding company, credit union, bank or bank holding company, insurance company or agency, any mortgage or loan broker or any other entity that competes with the business of the Bank or any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries or affiliates, that: (i) has a headquarters within the Restricted Territory or (ii) has one or more offices, but is not headquartered, within the Restricted Territory, but in the latter case, only if Executive would be employed, conduct business or have other responsibilities or duties within the Restricted Territory; or
(iii) solicit, provide any information, advice or recommendation or take any other action intended (or that a reasonable person acting in like circumstances would expect) to have the effect of causing any customer of the Bank to terminate an existing business or commercial relationship with the Bank.
Offer of Employment To the extent a Designated Employee is not party to an employment agreement with a Transferor that is a Transferred Contract, the Transferor Parties shall cooperate with the Acquiring Parties and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain on behalf of the Acquiring Parties the acceptance of an offer of employment by any Designated Employees that the Acquiring Parties may hereafter elect to employ, and the Transferor Parties consent to the Acquiring Parties or any of their respective Affiliates communicating directly with such Designated Employees about offers of employment commencing ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date or such earlier date as the Transferors may agree to in their sole discretion. The Acquiring Parties shall make offers of employment to the Designated Employees on terms and conditions to be determined by the Acquiring Parties, provided that each offer of employment is on terms and conditions substantially similar to, and, considered on an overall basis, no less favorable than the Designated Employee’s terms and conditions of employment with the Transferor Parties. The Acquiring Parties shall recognize each Designated Employee’s service with the Transferring Parties for the purposes of calculating all statutory entitlements and the Acquiring Parties shall assume liability for each Designated Employee’s accrued entitlement to annual leave, long service leave and personal leave. The Transferor Parties agree to release each Designated Employee from his or her employment effective from the date on which the Designated Employee will commence employment with the Acquiring Parties. Each Principal has agreed by his execution of this Agreement to execute and deliver at Closing an employment agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Employment Agreement”), to Parent or, if directed by Parent, one of Parent’s Affiliates. Except for obligations to the Transferors, to the Knowledge of the Transferors, the Principals are not obligated under or bound by any agreement or instrument, or any judgment, decree, or order of any court of administrative agency, that (a) conflicts or may conflict with their agreements and obligations to use their commercially reasonable efforts to promote the interests of the Acquiring Parties, (b) conflicts or may conflict with the business or operations of the Acquiring Parties, or (c) restricts or may restrict the use or disclosure of any information that may be useful to the Acquiring Parties. Without regard to whether the Acquiror employs the Principals or the Designated Employees, the Transferors shall be solely responsible for all outstanding payments due to the Principals and the Designated Employees under their existing terms of employment with the Transferors (including but not limited to salary, severance obligations or any other payment, except as otherwise provided for in this Section 5.4) through the Closing Date and the Transferor Parties acknowledge and agree that none of the Acquiring Parties shall assume or in any fashion be bound by any employment Contract between a Transferor and the Principals or a Designated Employee.
Restrictive Period The term “Restrictive Period” shall mean the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending two (2) years after the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder.
Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement (a) The Company shall provide Employee access to Confidential Information for use only during the Employment Period, and Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company Group will be entrusting Employee, in Employee’s unique and special capacity, with developing the goodwill of the Company Group, and as an express incentive for the Company to enter into this Agreement and employ Employee hereunder, Employee has voluntarily agreed to the covenants set forth in this Section 10. Employee agrees and acknowledges that the limitations and restrictions set forth herein, including geographical and temporal restrictions on certain competitive activities, are reasonable in scope and purpose in all respects, do not interfere with public interests, will not cause Employee undue hardship, and are material and substantial parts of this Agreement intended and necessary to prevent unfair competition and to protect the Company Group’s Confidential Information, goodwill and legitimate business interests.
(b) During the Prohibited Period, Employee shall not, without the prior written approval of the Board, directly or indirectly, for Employee or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other person or entity of any nature:
(i) engage in or participate within the Market Area in competition with any member of the Company Group in any aspect of the Business, including by directly or indirectly: (A) owning, managing, operating, or being an officer or director of, any business that competes with any member of the Company Group in the Market Area, or (B) joining, becoming an employee or consultant of, or otherwise being affiliated with, any person or entity engaged in, or planning to engage in, the Business in the Market Area in competition, or anticipated competition, with any member of the Company Group in any capacity (with respect to this clause (B)) in which Employee’s duties or responsibilities are the same as or similar to the duties or responsibilities that Employee had on behalf of any member of the Company Group;
(ii) appropriate any Business Opportunity of, or relating to, any member of the Company Group located in the Market Area;
(iii) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any customer or supplier of any member of the Company Group to cease or lessen such customer’s or supplier’s business with any member of the Company Group; or
(iv) solicit, canvass, approach, encourage, entice or induce any employee or contractor of any member of the Company Group to terminate his, her or its employment or engagement with any member of the Company Group.
(c) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Company Group as a result of a breach or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in Section 9 and in this Section 10, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused to the members of the Company Group for which they would have no other adequate remedy, the Company and each other member of the Company Group shall be entitled to enforce the foregoing covenants, in the event of a breach or threatened breach, by injunctions and restraining orders from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall not be the Company’s or any other member of the Company Group’s exclusive remedy for a breach but instead shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company and each other member of the Company Group at law and equity.
(d) The covenants in this Section 10, and each provision and portion hereof, are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant (or portion thereof) shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant (or portion thereof). Moreover, in the event any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such arbitrator or court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.
(e) The following terms shall have the following meanings:
