5.2 In consideration of the Company's entering into this Agreement, the Executive agrees that at all times during the Term and thereafter for the time period described hereinbelow, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for Executive or on behalf of or in conjunction with, any other person, company, partnership, corporation, business, group, or other entity (each, a "Person"):

5.2.1 until the first anniversary of the Termination Date, engage in any activity for or on behalf of a Competitor, as director, employee, shareholder, consultant or otherwise, which is the same as or similar to activity in which Executive engaged at any time during the last two (2) years of employment by the Company;

5.2.2 until the second anniversary of the Termination Date, (i) call upon any Person who is, at such Termination Date, engaged in activity on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company for the purpose or with the intent of enticing such Person to cease

such activity on behalf of the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate; or (ii) solicit, induce, or attempt to induce any customer of the Company to cease doing business in whole or in part with or through the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, or to do business with any Competitor.

5.4 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3, or any part thereof, hereafter are construed to be invalid or unenforceable, the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.

5.7 The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 upon the courts of any state within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the event that the courts of any one or more of such states shall hold such covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such covenants or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties' hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect the Company's right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other states within the geographical scope of such covenants as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each state being for this purpose severable into diverse and independent covenants.

RELOCATION PROGRAM

This outlines what Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx will provide in connection with your relocation to (Perryville) Clinton, NJ. The terms, conditions and guidelines are set out below.

1.: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx guarantees that you will receive, at minimum, the market value for your home. In order to determine the market value, two (2) Broker Market Analyses (BMA) will be ordered on your home from two (2) separate real estate firms. Crown Relocation, specifically Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, will coordinate all activity relevant to the sale of your home.

Contact Information:

Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Crown Relocation
00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx—0xx Xxxxx
Xxxxxx, XX 00000-0000
Phone: 000-000-0000
Fax: 000-000-0000
Email: xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx

2.: Crown Relocation will provide you with real estate firms from which to select a suitable agent. You may list your home at or above the estimated sales price as determined by the BMAs, but not to exceed 10% above the estimated sales price.
3.: Should you receive an acceptable offer on your property, this offer will determine the market value. Crown Relocation will purchase your home based on this buyer's offer price (Buyer Value Offer).
4.: If you are unable to sell your home within 45 days of the initial list date, two (2) appraisals will be ordered on your home. The average of these appraisals will be considered the market value and you will receive a guaranteed offer from Crown Relocation based on this market value less any repairs indicated by an inspection report. Should the appraisals vary by more than 5%, another appraisal will be ordered and the two closest will determine the market value. The appraisals will be marketing appraisals encompassing listing comparables as well as sold comparables, and all appraisers will be "Senior Residential Appraisers."
5.: In the event a valid offer to purchase is received from a buyer (within three (3) months of the initial list date and after the appraised value has been determined), which exceeds the guaranteed offer from Crown Relocation, Crown Relocation will amend the guaranteed offer to reflect the higher offer amount. This is true even if you have taken an "advance on equity."
6.: The three (3) month total marketing time begins once you have listed your home with the agent. We anticipate that this listing will be in a timely basis.
7.: It is further agreed that if you are unable to sell your home within three months, Crown Relocation will pay all mortgage payments and expenses incurred for the upkeep of the property starting at such time that you vacate the premises. In return, you agree to accept as full payment of the equity in your home the offer based on the appraisals (less the costs of any repairs). You further agree that you assign all rights and interest on your home to Crown Relocation on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx. If the purchase of a new home requires the sale of your previous home, the company will purchase the home before the three (3) month period ends.
8.: Crown Relocation will have an agent in the new location contact you as soon as possible after your relocation has been agreed to. This agent will be overseen by Crown Relocation to make sure you receive "Buyer Representation" in any purchase you make. The agent will also furnish written information on your new location (such as schools, shopping, medical, etc.).
9.: You will be provided with house hunting trip(s) to locate your new home.
10.: When you are ready to close on your new home Crown Relocation will wire funds to the closing attorney or title company representing your equity along with the closing costs that Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx will pay.

The cost consists of the following:

1% origination fee		recording fees
appraisal		title insurance
credit report		survey
attorney fees		home inspections
flood certification		underwriting fees
tax service fee		transfer tax

11.: One of the most important advantages to this relocation program is that you will have NO CLOSING COSTS on the sale of your home. Crown Relocation will present you with a settlement statement showing the offer price less the unpaid mortgage balance(s) and prorating of property taxes and/or homeowner association fees. This means all cost of selling your home will be absorbed by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx as expense. It is important that all rules of the IRS, as explained by Crown Relocation, must be followed to insure these savings.
12.: Crown Relocation will make arrangements to have temporary housing set up when needed, and this will be done on a direct xxxx basis so you will not have to advance any funds. Temporary housing will be provided for up to three (3) months. All travel will be charged to your corporate American Express Card along with the hotel you may need while on relocation business (housing search, etc.). Please save all receipts to attach to expense reports and forward to me. Please do not combine a business trip expense with the relocation expense, as these must be kept separate.
13.: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx will provide for the moving and storage (if necessary) of your household goods and automobiles. Crown Relocation will make arrangements for a moving coordinator to do a survey at your convenience.
14.: You will be provided with a one-time payment equal to 2¹/2 times your weekly salary upon the purchase of your new home. This payment is for all non-itemized related moving expenses.
15.: All reimbursements (if necessary) will be "grossed up" to lessen the impact of your personal income tax liability.
16.: Crown Relocation will provide expense administration services during your relocation. Blank expense forms can be obtained from Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx in the Human Resource Dept. and are to be used when you encounter relocation expenses eligible for reimbursement Once you have signed the expense report, please forward to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx at Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Inc., Human Resources Dept. 6918. We request that you submit your expenses monthly. All reimbursements will be "grossed up" (if necessary) to lessen the impact of your personal income tax liability. Please be sure to include only relocation expenses on the expense report. At the end of the tax year when expenses were incurred, you will receive a report detailing all expenses reimbursed, the tax impact, and the tax contribution (gross-up) made by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx.

Please note: Once you have obtained your manager's approval on your expense report, please ask your manager to return your report to you. Please send approved expense report to:

Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, c/o Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Inc.
Human Resources Dept. 00000
Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx
Xxxxxxx, XX 00000

After reading these guidelines, please feel free to contact Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx at 000-000-0000 with any questions you may have. Please let me assure you that everything possible will be done to make your relocation smooth and as stress free as possible.
