7. Non-Disclosure and Non-Interference. Neither party to this Agreement shall conduct himself or itself in any manner that is or would reasonably be expected to be in each case to be materially (materiality applies to each word) detrimental, inimical or injurious to the interests, goodwill, business, assets or reputation of the other party. Neither party shall make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, publicly or privately, or take any action, directly or indirectly, which could reasonably be expected to disparage or lead to unwanted or unfavorable publicity to the other party or any of his or its affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, businesses or reputations. The restrictions of this Section 7 shall terminate six (6) months following the consummation of the first Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a party from making truthful statements at any time.
8. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. For purposes of this Section 8, “Restricted Period” means a period commencing on the date of the first Closing (defined below) and ending on the date which is six (6) months thereafter.
(a) During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, alone or with others, for himself or for another person or entity (except on behalf of the Company) intentionally and knowingly, (i) contribute his material knowledge, perform services or provide assistance, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, as an employee, employer, owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, agent, partner, director, stockholder, officer, volunteer, intern or any other similar capacity, for or on behalf of any of the following: EMED, Cane’s S.p.a., Xxxxxx, Covidien, X. Xxxxx, Becton Xxxxxxxxx, Neeria Needles, Norfolk Needles, or (ii) sell or offer to sell any products or services to any person or entity that operates or is engaged in the Business (defined below) in any state or foreign country where the Company conducts business or has publicly announced its intention to conduct business as of the commencement of the Restricted Period (including, without limitation, any state where the Company offers or markets or contemplates offering or marketing its products or services). As used in this Section 8(a), “Business” means the manufacturing or commercialization of medical products to be used for home infusions.

(b) During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, alone or with others, for himself or for another person or entity (except on behalf of the Company): (i)

For purposes of this provision, a “prospective” person, entity or relationship, as the case may be, is one to whom or a relationship with respect to which the Company has had discussions or written communications regarding doing business during such twenty-four (24) month period. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prohibit Seller from contracting, hiring or engaging an employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company following his or her resignation or termination provided that such resignation or termination was not due to Seller’s breach of the obligation set forth in Section 8(b)(i) above.
9. Confidentiality.
