vi. failure by a successor company to assume the obligations under the Agreement.

g. Termination Following a Change of Control.
i. In the event that a “Change in Control” or an “Attempted Change in Control” as hereinafter defined, of the Company shall occur at any time during the Term hereof, the Executive shall have the right to terminate the Executive’s employment under this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice given at any time within one year after the occurrence of such event, and such termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to this Section 6(g)(i), and, in any such event, such termination shall be deemed to be a Termination by the Company Other than for Cause and the Executive shall be entitled to such Compensation and Benefits as set forth in Subsection 6(h) of this Agreement.
ii. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as:
A. any “person”, other than the Executive, (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities then having the right to vote at elections of directors; or,
B. the individuals who at the commencement date of the Agreement constitute the Board cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof unless the election, or nomination for election, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then in office who were directors at the commencement of the Agreement; or

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Section 6(g)(ii) will not apply where the Executive gives the Executive’s explicit written waiver stating that for the purposes of this Section 6(g)(ii) a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred. The Executive’s participation in any negotiations or other matters in relation to a Change in Control shall in no way constitute such a waiver which can only be given by an explicit written waiver as provided in the preceding sentence.
An “Attempted Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if any substantial attempt, accompanied by significant work efforts and expenditures of money, is made to accomplish a Change in Control, as described in subparagraphs (A), (B), (C) or (D) above whether or not such attempt is made with the approval of a majority of the then current members of the Board.
iii. In the event that, within twelve (12) months of any Change in Control of the Company or any Attempted Change in Control of the Company, the Company terminates the employment of the Executive under this Agreement, for any reason other than for Cause as defined in Section 6(c), or the Executive’s employment is constructively terminated as defined in Section 6(f), then, in any such event, such termination shall be deemed to be a Termination by the Company Other than for Cause and the Executive shall be entitled to such Compensation and Benefits as set forth in Subsection 6(d) of this Agreement.
h. Benefits Upon Termination of Executive Employment. In the event of any termination of Executive’s employment Other than for Cause, or any termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Sections 6(d), 6(f) or 6(g), on the effective date of any such termination, the Executive shall be entitled to receive all life, disability and health insurance benefits to which he was entitled which shall continue for a period of three (3) months following the effective date of such termination.

a. Covenant Not to Compete. The Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the Company’s business and the goodwill, continued patronage, and specifically the names and addresses of the Company’s Clients (as hereinafter defined) constitute a substantial asset of the Company having been acquired through considerable time, money and effort. Accordingly, in consideration of the execution of this Agreement, in the event the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to paragraph 6 supra, then the Executive agrees to the following:
i. That during the Restricted Period (as hereinafter defined), the Executive will not, individually or in conjunction with others, directly or indirectly, engage in any Competitive Business Activities (as hereinafter defined), whether as an officer, director, proprietor, employer, partner, independent contractor, investor (other than as a holder solely as an investment of less than 1% of the outstanding capital stock of a publicly traded corporation), consultant, advisor or agent.
ii. That during the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, compete with the Company by soliciting, inducing or influencing any of the Company’s Clients which have a business relationship with the Company at the time during the Restricted Period to discontinue or reduce the extent of such relationship with the Company.
b. Non-Disclosure of Information. Executive agrees that, during the Restricted Period, Executive will not knowingly use or disclose any Proprietary Information of the Company for the Executive’s own purposes or for the benefit of any entity engaged in Competitive Business Activities. As used herein, the term “Proprietary Information” shall mean trade secrets or confidential proprietary information of the Company which are material to the conduct of the business of the Company. Information can be considered Proprietary Information unless the same is otherwise in the public domain or is required to be disclosed by order of any court or by reason of any statute, law, rule, regulation, ordinance or other governmental requirement. Executive further agrees, all Documents in his possession at the time of his termination shall be returned to the Company at the Company’s principal place of business.
c. Documents. “Documents” shall mean all original written, recorded, or graphic matters whatsoever, and any and all copies thereof, including, but not limited to: papers; books; records; tangible things; correspondence; communications; telex messages; memoranda; work-papers; reports; affidavits; statements; summaries; analyses; evaluations; client records and information; agreements; agendas; advertisements; instructions; charges; manuals; brochures; publications; directories; industry lists; schedules; price lists; client lists; statistical records; training manuals; computer printouts; books of account, records and invoices reflecting business operations; all things similar to any of the foregoing however denominated. In all cases where originals are not available, the term “Documents” shall also mean identical copies of original documents or non-identical copies thereof.

e. Restrictive Period. The “Restrictive Period” shall be deemed to be two (2) years following termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company.
f. Competitive Business Activities. The term “Competitive Business Activities” as used herein shall be deemed to mean the business of the Company at the time of termination.
g. Covenants as Essential Elements of this Agreement. It is understood by and between the parties hereto that the foregoing covenants contained in this Sections 7 and elsewhere throughout this Agreement are essential elements of this Agreement, and that but for the agreement by the Executive to comply with such covenants, the Company would not have agreed to enter into this Agreement. Such covenants by the Executive shall be construed to be agreements independent of any other provisions of this Agreement. The existence of any other claim or cause of action, whether predicated on any other provision in this Agreement, or otherwise, as a result of the relationship between the parties shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of such covenants against the Executive.
i. Survival After Termination of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the covenants in Sections 7, 8 and 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company.
j. Remedies.
i. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedy at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 7(a) or (b) herein would be inadequate and a breach thereof will cause irreparable harm to the Company. In recognition of this fact, in the event of a breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of Section 7(a) or (b), the Executive agrees that, in addition to any remedy at law available to the Company, including, but not limited to monetary damages, all rights of the Executive to payment or otherwise under this Agreement and all amounts then or thereafter due to the Executive from the Company under this Agreement may be terminated and the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain, and the Executive agrees not to oppose the Company’s request for equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available to the Company.
ii. The Executive acknowledges that the granting of a temporary injunction, temporary restraining order or permanent injunction merely prohibiting the use of Proprietary Information would not be an adequate remedy upon breach or threatened breach of Section 7(a) or (b) and consequently agrees, upon proof of any such breach, to the granting of injunctive relief prohibiting any form of competition with the Company. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach.
8 |
8. Conflicts of Interest. Executive shall avoid all activities and other actions that would conflict with the interests of the Company. Executive shall not use his position, or any knowledge gained from or in connection with his position, in such a manner that a conflict arises between the interests of the Company and Executive’s personal, immediate family, or private economic or other interests.
