Solicitation of Sales In consideration of these rights granted to Distributors, Distributors agrees to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the Issuer. This shall not prevent Distributors from entering into like arrangements (including arrangements involving the payment of underwriting commissions) with other issuers. This does not obligate Distributors to register as a broker or dealer under the Blue Sky Laws of any jurisdiction in which it is not now registered or to maintain its registration in any jurisdiction in which it is now registered. If a sales charge is in effect, Distributors shall have the right to enter into sales agreements with dealers of its choice for the sale of shares of the Issuer to the public at the public offering price only and fix in such agreements the portion of the sales charge which may be retained by dealers, provided that the Issuer shall approve the form of the dealer agreement and the dealer discounts set forth therein and shall evidence such approval by filing said form of dealer agreement and amendments thereto as an exhibit to its currently effective Registration Statement under the 0000 Xxx. The Distributor will not direct remuneration from commissions paid by the Issuer for portfolio securities transactions to a broker or dealer for promoting or selling fund shares.
Solicitation of Employees I agree that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of my relationship with the Company for any reason, whether with or without cause, I shall not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment, or take away such employees, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take away employees of the Company, either for myself or for any other person or entity.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Customer” means any person, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association or other entity to which the Company or any of its affiliates sold or provided goods or services during the 24-month period prior to the time at which any determination is required to be made as to whether any such person, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association or other entity is a Customer, or who or which was approached by or who or which has approached an employee of the Company for the purpose of soliciting business from the Company or the third party, as the case may be.

Non-Solicitation of Clients During the Restricted Period, the Executive agrees not to solicit, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person(s), any client of the Company to whom the Company had provided services at any time during the Executive’s employment with the Company in any line of business that the Company conducts as of the date of the Executive’s termination of employment or that the Company is actively soliciting, for the purpose of marketing or providing any service competitive with any service then offered by the Company.
Non-Solicitation of Employees During employment and for a period of twelve (12) months after termination, Executive agrees not to hire, employ, solicit, divert, recruit, or attempt to induce, directly or indirectly, any existing or future employee of the Company to leave their position with the Company or to become associated with a competing business.

Solicitation of Orders You will use your best efforts (but only in states in which you may lawfully do so) to obtain from investors unconditional orders for Shares authorized for issue by the Fund and registered under the 1933 Act, provided that you may in your discretion refuse to accept orders for Shares from any particular applicant.
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 its 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 use or rely in any manner on any Confidential Information to 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 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.
No Solicitation of Customers During the Executive’s employment with the Employer and for a period of 12 months thereafter, the Executive shall not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Employer), either directly or indirectly, on the Executive’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, (A) solicit, divert, or appropriate to or for a Competing Business, or (B) attempt to solicit, divert, or appropriate to or for a Competing Business, any person or entity that is or was a customer of the Employer or any of its Affiliates at any time during the 12 months prior to the date of termination and with whom the Executive has had material contact.
