在聘期内以及在CFO终止与公司的雇佣关系后的十二(12)个月内,CFO不得:
(i) solicit or hire, or attempt to recruit, persuade, solicit or hire, any employee, or independent contractor of, or consultant to, the Company, or its Affiliates, to leave the employment (or independent contractor relationship) thereof, whether or not any such employee or independent contractor is party to an employment agreement; or
招揽、雇用、或试图招募、劝说、招揽或雇用本公司或其关联公司的任何员工、独立承包商或顾问离开本公司或其关联公司的雇佣关系(或独立承包商关系),无论该等员工或独立承包商是否是雇佣协议的一方;或
12
(ii) attempt in any manner to solicit or accept from any customer or client of the Company or any of its Affiliates, with whom the Company or any of its Affiliates had significant contact during the term of this Agreement, business of the kind or competitive with the business done by the Company or any of its Affiliates with such customer or to persuade or attempt to persuade any such customer to cease to do business or to reduce the amount of business which such customer has customarily done or is reasonably expected to do with the Company or any of its Affiliates or if any such customer elects to move its business to a person other than the Company or any of its Affiliates, provide any services (of the kind or competitive with the Business of the Company or any of its Affiliates) for such customer, or have any discussions regarding any such service with such customer, on behalf of such other person.
试图以任何方式向本公司或其任何关联公司的任何客户或客户(本公司或其任何关联公司在本协议期间与之有重大联系)招揽或接受,商业的或竞争的业务由公司或任何其附属公司与客户或说服或试图说服任何此类客户停止做生意或减少业务这类客户通常做或合理预期与公司或任何其附属公司或如果任何此类客户选择移动业务的人以外的其他公司或任何其附属公司,代表该等人为该等客户提供任何(属于或与本公司或其任何关联公司的业务相竞争的)服务,或与该等客户就任何该等服务进行任何讨论。
(c) The Executive recognizes and agrees that because a violation by the Executive of his obligations under this Section will cause irreparable harm to the Company that would be difficult to quantify and for which money damages would be inadequate, the Company shall have the right to injunctive relief to prevent or restrain any such violation, without the necessity of posting a bond. The Non-compete Period will be extended by the duration of any violation by the Executive of any of his obligations under this Section.
CFO认识到并同意,由于CFO违反其在本条项下的义务,将对公司造成难以量化且金钱损害不足以弥补的不可弥补的损害,公司应有权获得禁令救济,以防止或限制任何此类违反行为,而无需缴纳保证金。竞业禁止期将随CFO违反其在本节项下的任何义务的持续时间而延长。
(d) The Executive expressly agrees that the character, duration and scope of the covenant not to compete are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist at the date upon which this Agreement has been executed. However, should a determination nonetheless be made by a court of competent jurisdiction at a later date that the character, duration or geographical scope of the covenant not to compete is unreasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist, then it is the intention of the Executive, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, that the covenant not to compete shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the conduct of the Executive which are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they then exist and necessary to assure the Company of the intended benefit of the covenant not to compete.
CFO明确同意,根据本协议签署之日存在的情况,不竞争契约的性质、期限和范围是合理的。然而,如果有管辖权的法院在以后作出决定,认为不竞争契约的性质、期限或地域范围根据当时存在的情况是不合理的,那么高管一方和公司一方的意图是,不竞争契约应由法院解释为只对CFO的行为施加限制,而这些限制在当时的情况下是合理的,并且是确保公司从不竞争契约中获得预期利益所必需的
13
9. Inventions and Patents. The Executive acknowledges that all inventions, innovations, improvements, know-how, plans, development, methods, designs, analyses, specifications, software, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice) which related to any of the Company’s actual or proposed business activities and which are created, designed or conceived, developed or made by the Executive during the Executive’s past or future employment by the Company or any Affiliates, or any predecessor thereof (“Work Product”), belong to the Company, or its Affiliates, as applicable.
