Exclusive Employment During employment with the Company, Executive will not do anything to compete with the Company’s present or contemplated business, nor will he plan or organize any competitive business activity. Executive will not enter into any agreement which conflicts with his duties or obligations to the Company. Executive will not during his employment or within one (1) year after it ends, without the Company’s express written consent, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage any employee, agent, independent contractor, supplier, customer, consultant or any other person or company to terminate or alter a relationship with the Company.
Company’s Right to Terminate Employee’s Employment for Cause The Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment hereunder at any time for “Cause.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:
Death After Termination of Employment But Before Benefit Payments Commence If the Executive is entitled to benefit payments under this Agreement, but dies prior to the commencement of said benefit payments, the Company shall pay the benefit payments to the Executive's beneficiary that the Executive was entitled to prior to death except that the benefit payments shall commence on the first day of the month following the date of the Executive's death.
Full Time Employment Employee hereby accepts employment by Employer upon the terms and conditions contained herein and agrees that during the term of this Agreement, the Employee shall devote substantially all of his business time, attention, and energies to the business of the Employer. Employee, during the term of this Agreement, will not perform any services for any other business entity, whether such entity conducts a business which is competitive with the business of Employer or is engaged in any other business activity, provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as (a) preventing Employee from investing his personal assets in any business or businesses which do not compete directly or indirectly with the Employer, provided such investment or investments do not require any services on his part on the operation of the affairs of the entity in which such investment is made and in which his participation is solely that of an investor, (b) preventing Employee from purchasing securities in any corporation whose securities are regularly traded, if such purchases shall not result in his owning beneficially at any time more than 5% of the equity securities of any corporation engaged in a business which is competitive, directly or indirectly, to that of Employer, (c) preventing Employee from engaging in any activities, if he receives the prior written approval of the Board of Directors of Employer with respect to his engaging in such activities.
No Other Employment; Minimum Time Commitment During the Period of Employment, the Executive shall (i) devote substantially all of the Executive’s business time, energy and skill to the performance of the Executive’s duties for the Company, (ii) perform such duties in a faithful, effective and efficient manner to the best of his abilities, and (iii) hold no other employment without the express written approval of the Board. The Executive’s service on the boards of directors (or similar body) of other business entities is subject to the approval of the Board. The Company shall have the right to require the Executive to resign from any board or similar body (including, without limitation, any association, corporate, civic or charitable board or similar body) which he may then serve if the Board reasonably determines that the Executive’s service on such board or body interferes with the effective discharge of the Executive’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or that any business related to such service is then in competition with any business of the Company or any of its Affiliates, successors or assigns.
Terms of Employment This Section 2 sets forth the terms and conditions on which the Company agrees to employ Executive during the period (the "Protected Period") beginning on the first day during the Term of this Agreement on which a Change of Control occurs and ending on the second anniversary of that date, or such earlier date as Executive's employment terminates as contemplated by Section 3.
Termination of Employees Employment For purposes of this Section 3.1(d), the term “pro rata portion” shall mean, with respect to any award of time-vested RSUs, time- vested RSAs or time-vested options, a percentage, when expressed as a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and after the date that begins the vesting period applicable to such installment of RSUs, RSAs or options during which Employee was an employee of the Company, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the vesting period(s) applicable to such installment of RSUs, RSAs or options assuming Employee had been an employee throughout such vesting period and no event or other matter occurred that would accelerate the vesting of such award. Any options that vest pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) shall remain exercisable through the post-termination exercise period set forth in or contemplated by the agreement evidencing the option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payments, awards or benefits are owed or required to be settled or delivered to Employee under Section 3.3 hereof, then Employee shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit under this Section 3.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payments, awards or benefits are owed or required to be settled or delivered to Employee under Section 3.1(c) and (d) and Employee has attained Retirement Eligibility, then Employee shall be entitled to the greater of the payment or benefit under Section 3.1(c) and (d), determined on an aggregate basis with respect to the Eligible RSAs, on the one hand, or Section 3.2, determined on an aggregate basis with respect to the Eligible RSAs, on the other hand. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, the determination of the Eligible RSAs shall assume that the date of Retirement Termination of Employment shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of the termination of his or her employment regardless of whether such termination occurred due to a Termination of Employee’s Employment or a Retirement Termination of Employment. 3.2

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party gives a valid Notice of Termination pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Term of Employment shall not extend beyond the termination date specified in such Notice of Termination.
