ARTICLE VI
NON-DISCLOSURE, NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION COVENANT
6.1 Non-Disclosure Obligations.
(a) "Confidential Information" means and includes Employer's confidential and/or proprietary information and/or trade secrets, including those that have been and/or will be developed or used and that cannot be obtained readily by third parties from outside sources. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the following: information regarding past, current and prospective customers and investors and business affiliates, employees, contractors, and the industry not generally known to the public; strategies, methods, books, records, and documents; technical information concerning products, equipment, services, and processes; procurement procedures, pricing, and pricing techniques; including contact names, services provided, pricing, type and amount of services used, financial data; pricing strategies and price curves; positions; plans or strategies for expansion or acquisitions; budgets; research; financial and sales data; trading methodologies and terms; communications information; evaluations, opinions and interpretations of information and data; marketing and merchandising techniques; electronic databases; models; specifications; computer programs; contracts; bids or proposals; technologies and methods; training methods and processes; organizational structure; personnel information; payments or rates paid to consultants or other service providers; and other such confidential or proprietary information. Employee acknowledges that Employer's business is highly competitive, that this Confidential Information constitutes a valuable, special and unique asset used by Employer in its business, and that protection of such Confidential Information against unauthorized disclosure and use is of critical importance to Employer.
(b) Employer promises and agrees that during the Term and as part of the employment under this Agreement, Employer shall provide Employee with Confidential Information. Employee acknowledges that (i) Employer has devoted substantial time, effort, and resources to develop and compile the Confidential Information; (ii) public disclosure of such Confidential Information would have an adverse effect on the business of Employer; (iii) Employer would not disclose such information to the Employee, nor would it employ or continue to employ the Employee without the agreements and covenants set forth in this Section 6.1; and (iv) the provisions of this Section 6.1 are reasonable and necessary to prevent the improper use or disclosure of Confidential Information.
(c) Employee agrees that Employee will not, at any time during his employment with Employer or after the termination of such employment with Employer for any reason, make any unauthorized disclosure, directly or indirectly, of any Confidential Information of Employer, or third parties, or make any use thereof, directly or indirectly, except in working for Employer. Employee also agrees that Employee shall deliver promptly to Employer upon the termination of employment or at any other time at Employer's request, without retaining any copies, all documents and other material in Employee's possession relating, directly or indirectly, to any Confidential Information or other information of Employer, or Confidential Information or other information regarding third parties, learned as an employee of Employer.
6.2 Non-Competition Obligations. Employer shall continue to provide Employee with Confidential Information relating to Employer's business and specialized training regarding Employer's methodologies and business strategies, which will enable Employee to perform his job for Employer. Employee also will have immediate access to, or knowledge of, Confidential Information of third parties, such as actual and potential customers, suppliers, partners, joint ventures, investors, financing sources, etc., of Employer. Ancillary to the consideration provided pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, including but not limited to Employer's agreement to provide Confidential Information to Employee and Employee's agreement not to disclose Confidential Information, and in order to protect the Confidential Information, Employer and Employee agree to the non-competition provisions set forth in this Article VI.
6.2.1 Employee Obligations. Employee agrees that, for the Non-Competition Period, Employee will not, except as an employee of Employer, in any capacity for Employee or others, directly or indirectly:
(a) compete or engage, anywhere in the geographic area comprised of the one hundred twenty-five (125) mile radius surrounding the Bank’s former office located at 0000 Xxxxxx X, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx, plus the area comprised of the one hundred twenty-five (125) mile radius surrounding any other former Bank location where Employee was located within the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the date the employment of Employee was terminated (the “Market Area”), in a business similar to that of Employer, or compete or engage in that type of business which Employer has plans to engage in, or any business which Employer has engaged in during the preceding twelve (12) month period if within the twenty-four (24) months before the termination of Employee's employment, Employee had access to information regarding the proposed plans or the business in which Employer engaged;
(b) take any action to invest in, own, manage, operate, control, participate in, be employed or engaged by or be connected in any manner with any partnership, corporation or other business or entity engaging in a business similar to that of Employer anywhere within the Market Area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee is permitted hereunder to own, directly or indirectly, up to one percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding securities of any publicly traded financial institution conducting business in the Market Area;
(c) call on, service or solicit competing business from customers or prospective customers of Employer if, within the twelve (12) months before the termination of Employee's employment, Employee had or made contact with the customer, or had access to information and files about the customer; or
(d) call on, solicit or induce any employee of Employer whom Employee had contact with, knowledge of, or association with in the course of employment with Employer to terminate employment from Employer, and will not assist any other person or entity in such activities.
6.2.2 Non-Competition Period. The Non-Competition Obligations set forth in Article VI of this Agreement shall apply from the date of termination through July 1, 2017 (the "Non-Competition Period").
6.3 Non-Competition Covenant Reasonable. The parties to this Agreement hereby agree that the non-competition provisions set forth in this Article VI are ancillary to this Agreement, which is an otherwise enforceable agreement. Employee agrees that any work performed by Employee for any competitor of Employer during the Non-Competition Period inevitably would lead to Employee's unauthorized use of Employer's Confidential Information, even if such use were unintentional. Because it would be impossible, as a practical matter, to monitor, restrain, or police Employee's use of such Confidential Information other than by Employee's not working for a competitor, Employee agrees that restricting such employment as set forth in this Agreement is the narrowest way to protect Employer's interests, and the narrowest way of enforcing Employee's consideration for the receipt of Employer's specialized training and Confidential Information (namely, Employee's promise not to use or disclose that Confidential Information and/or specialized training).
6.4 Consideration. In consideration for the above obligations of the Employee, Employer agrees to pay Employee an aggregate of $300,000 in six semi-annual payments of $50,000 to be paid on each June 30th and December 31st beginning on December 31, 2012, and ending on June 30, 2015; provided, however, that Employee must be employed by Employer on the date such payment is due, except as provided in Section 8.6(b). In addition, Employer agrees to continue to provide Employee with access to Confidential Information relating to Employer's business and to highly specialized training regarding Employer's methodologies and business strategies, which enable Employee to perform his job for Employer. Employee also has access to, or knowledge of, new Confidential Information of third parties, such as actual and potential customers, suppliers, partners, joint venturers, investors, financing sources, etc. of Employer.
6.5 Enforcement and Legal Remedies. Employer and Employee acknowledge and agree that breach of any of the covenants made by Employee in this Agreement would cause irreparable injury to Employer, which could not sufficiently be remedied by monetary damages; and, therefore, that Employer shall be entitled to obtain such equitable relief as declaratory judgments; temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctions, without posting of any bond, and order of specific performance to enforce those covenants or to prohibit any act or omission that constitutes a breach thereof. If Employer must bring suit to enforce this Agreement the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees and costs related thereto.
6.6 Tolling. In the event that Employer shall file a lawsuit in any Court of competent jurisdiction alleging a breach of the non-competition provisions of this Agreement by the Employee, then any time period set forth in this Agreement including the time periods set forth above, will be extended one month for each month the Employee was in breach of this Agreement, so that Employer is provided the benefit of the full Non-Competition Period.
ARTICLE VII
PROPERTY RIGHTS
7.1 Trade Secrets and Confidentiality. During the Term, Employee will have access to and become familiar with Confidential Information owned by Employer and regularly used in the operation of the business of Employer. Employee shall not disclose any such Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, nor use it in any way, either during the Term or at any time thereafter, except as required in the course of his employment with Employer. All Confidential Information, whether or not prepared by Employee, shall remain the exclusive property of Employer and shall not be removed from the premises of Employer under any circumstances without the prior written consent of Employer, provided, however, that Employee may remove such items for the purpose of furthering the business of Employer if such action is consistent with the past practices of Employer. All items removed from the premises of Employer and all copies or summaries thereof shall be returned to Employer upon the termination of employment of Employee.
7.2 Business Plans and Improvements. Employee agrees that he will promptly from time to time fully inform and disclose to Employer all processes, designs, improvements and business plans which he now has or may hereafter have during the term of this Agreement which pertain or relate to the business of Employer or to any experimental work carried on by Employer, whether conceived by Employee alone or with others and whether or not conceived during regular working hours. All such processes, designs, improvements, formulas, business plans, technologies and discoveries shall be the exclusive property of Employer.
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION RIGHTS
8.1 Termination for Cause by the Employer. The Employer may terminate Employee's employment for Cause (as defined hereinafter), such termination to be effective immediately upon written notice to Employee. Any termination of Employee's employment under this Section 8.1 will not be in limitation of any other right or remedy which the Employer may have under this Agreement, at law, or in equity. The term “Cause” means (a) fraud, embezzlement, theft or misappropriation of funds or other property of the Employer, (b) self-dealing or gross negligence in the performance by Employee of his duties pursuant to this Agreement, (c) the repeated failure or refusal by Employee to perform his duties to the Employer as provided herein, other than due to Disability, (d) the commission by Employee of any willful acts of bad faith or gross misconduct against the Employer, (e) the indictment of Employee for a felony or other criminal act involving dishonesty, whether or not relating to his employment with the Employer, (f) the repeated breach of a lawful, established policy or procedure of the Employer; provided that with respect to clauses (c) and (f), Employer shall give Employee written notice of the breach or other failure on the part of Employee and the actions necessary to correct such breach, if applicable.

8.2 Termination by Employer Upon Employee's Disability. The Employer may terminate Employee's employment upon a determination of Disability (as defined below), such termination to be effective immediately upon written notice to Employee. The term “Disability” means Employee's inability to perform his usual services to the Employer because of mental or physical illness or injury for the consecutive days as defined in the Employer’s disability policy then in effect, which inability to perform will be determined by a physician selected by the Employer.
8.3 Termination Upon Employee's Death. In the event of Employee's death, Employee’s employment under this Agreement shall immediately terminate.
8.4 Termination by Employer Other Than for Cause, Disability or Death. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Employer may terminate this Agreement for any or no reason during the Term (i.e., other than for Cause or Disability), such termination to be effective immediately upon the giving of written notice to Employee from the Employer.
8.5 Termination by Employee. Employee shall have the right, at his election and for any reason prior to the expiration of the Term of this Agreement, to voluntarily terminate his employment with Employer upon thirty (30) days written notice.
8.6 Certain Payments Following Termination of Employment.
(a) If Employee’s employment with the Employer is terminated by the Employer for Cause or Disability or if Employee voluntarily terminates employment with the Employer, Employee shall thereafter be entitled to receive from the Employer payment of any accrued but unpaid Base Salary and allowances and reimbursements through the date of such termination, and Employee's obligations set forth in Article VI shall continue during the Non-Competition Period.
(b) If Employee’s employment with the Employer is terminated by the Employer for any reason other than for Cause, Disability or death during the Term, Employee shall be entitled to receive from the Employer (i) payment of accrued but unpaid Base Salary, allowances and reimbursements through the date of such termination and (ii) provided Employee executes a release in a form acceptable to the Employer (the "Release") within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such Release provided by Employer and Employee does not revoke the Release during any applicable revocation period, Employee shall be entitled to a lump sum payment, on the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination, equal to payment of (A) Base Salary for the remaining portion of the Initial Term of this Agreement, if any, (B) Bonus for the remaining portion of the Initial Term of this Agreement, if any and (C) any non-compete payment that would be payable pursuant to Section 6.4 for the remaining portion of the Initial Term of this Agreement, each less applicable statutory deductions. Further, Employee's obligations set forth in Article VI shall continue during the Non-Competition Period.
(c) If Employee’s employment with the Employer is terminated by the Employer upon Employee's death, Employee's legal representatives shall thereafter be entitled to receive from the Employer payment of any accrued but unpaid Base Salary and allowances and reimbursements through the date of such termination, and Employee's obligations set forth in Article VI shall automatically cease.
8.7 Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of Employee's termination of employment with Employer, Employee is a "specified employee" as defined in Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent that any amount to which Employee is entitled in connection with the termination of his employment is subject to Section 409A, payments of such amounts to which Employee would otherwise be entitled during the six (6) month period following Employee's termination of employment will be accumulated and paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month after the date of Employee's termination of employment. The first sentence of this paragraph shall apply only to the extent required to avoid Employee's incurrence of any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment under the terms of this Agreement would constitute an impermissible acceleration of payments under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, such payments shall be made no earlier than at such times allowed under Section 409A of the Code.
If any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation) would cause Employee to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, Employer may reform such provision; provided that Employer shall (i) maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and (ii) notify and consult with Employee regarding such amendments or modifications prior to the effective date of any such change.
8.8 Return of Property.
