include covenants consistent with the provisions of Section 5 below), and in
addition to any accrued salary and other payments owed to Employee under
Angelica's other benefit plans and policies, Xxxxxxxx shall pay Employee an
amount equal to Employee's then-current Annual Base Salary. Said amount

Transaction for any reason other than as stated in this Section 4.1 above,
Employee shall be entitled only to accrued salary and other payments owed to
Employee under Angelica's other benefit plans and policies.

Triggering Transaction occurs during the Employment Period and within two
years after the Triggering Transaction Date (i) Xxxxxxxx shall terminate
Employee's employment with Xxxxxxxx without Good Cause, or (ii) Employee

(b) if one of the above-described terminations of employment occurs within
the six-month period prior to the earlier of (i) a Triggering Transaction or

Termination, in the case where the sequence of the requisite events is as
set forth in subsection (a) above or (z) the Triggering Transaction Date, in
the case where the sequence of the requisite events occurred as set forth in
subsection (b) above (the relevant date for purposes of entitlement to the
benefits set forth in this Section 4.2 is hereinafter referred to as the
"Entitlement Date"). In addition, at the Entitlement Date, to the extent not
otherwise provided for under the terms of Angelica's stock option plans or

reason other than as stated in this Section 4.2 above, Employee shall be
entitled only to accrued salary and other payments owed to Employee under
Angelica's other benefit plans and policies.
SECTION 5: NON-COMPETITION, CONFIDENTIALITY, NON-DIVERSION.
5.1 NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT. It is agreed that during the
period beginning on the Effective Date and ending one year after the Date of
Termination, regardless of whether such termination is by the
-7-
action of Employee or Xxxxxxxx or by mutual agreement, Employee shall not,
either for himself or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation (whether
for profit or otherwise) engage in any form of competition with Xxxxxxxx,
directly or indirectly, through any commercial venture, as a partner,
officer, director, stockholder, advisor, employee, consultant, agent,
salesman, venturer or otherwise, in the business conducted by Xxxxxxxx in
the United States, Canada or any other country in which Xxxxxxxx does
business. This requirement, however, will not limit Employee's right to
invest in the capital stock or other equity securities of any corporation,
the stock or securities of which are publicly owned or are regularly traded
on any public securities exchange.
5.2 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Employee acknowledges that
during his employment with Xxxxxxxx, he may develop or be exposed to
confidential information concerning Angelica's inventions, processes,
methods and confidential affairs, property of a proprietary nature and trade
secrets of Xxxxxxxx or its licensors or customers. Employee agrees that the
maintenance of the proprietary character of such information and property to
the full extent feasible is important and that for so long as any such
confidential information and trade secrets may remain confidential, secret
or otherwise wholly or partially protectable, either during or after
Employee's Employment Period, shall not use or divulge such confidential
information or property except as permitted or required by the duties of
Employee's employment with Xxxxxxxx. Employee shall not remove any property
of a proprietary nature from Angelica's premises except as required by the
duties of Employee's employment. Employee shall return to Xxxxxxxx upon
termination of his employment with Xxxxxxxx, all models, drawings,
photographs, writings, records, papers or other properties produced by
Employee or coming into his possession by or through his employment with
Xxxxxxxx.
5.3 NON-DIVERSION. During the Employment Period and for one
year after the Date of Termination, Employee shall not directly or
indirectly or by aid to others: (i) do anything which could be expected to
divert from Xxxxxxxx any trade or business with any customer of Xxxxxxxx
with whom Employee had any contact or association during the one year
immediately preceding the Date of Termination; or (ii) solicit for
employment by others, any individual employed by Xxxxxxxx.
5.4 REASONABLENESS OF RESTRICTIONS. Employee agrees that the
period and areas of restriction following the Date of Termination, as set
forth in this Section 5, are reasonably required for the protection of
Xxxxxxxx and its business, as well as the continued protection of Angelica's
employees. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements or provisions
contained herein shall be held to be contrary to the policy of a specific
law, though not expressly prohibited, or against public policy, or shall for
any other reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such particular covenant,
agreement or provision shall be null and void and shall be deemed separable
from the remaining covenants, agreements and provisions, and shall in no way
affect the validity of any of the other covenants, agreements and provisions
hereof. The parties hereto agree that in the event that either the length of
time or the geographic area set forth herein is deemed too restrictive in
any court proceeding, the court may reduce such restrictions to those which
it deems reasonable under the circumstances.
5.5 EQUITABLE RELIEF. Any action by Employee contrary to the
restrictive covenants contained in this Section 5 may as a matter of course
be restrained by equitable or injunctive process issued out of any court of
competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedies provided in law.
In the event of the breach of Employee's covenants as set forth in this
Section 5 and Angelica's obtaining of injunctive relief, the period of
restrictions set forth herein shall commence from the date of the issuance
of the order which enjoins such activity.
