that Stockholder obtained through or in connection with Stockholder’s employment, consultancy and/or directorship with the Company prior to the date hereof) whether developed by Stockholder alone or in conjunction with others or otherwise, shall be and is the property of the Company and its Affiliates.

 

(ii)           Confidentiality Obligations.  Stockholder shall at all times keep all Confidential Information confidential and will not use such Confidential Information other than in connection with Stockholder’s discharge of Stockholder’s duties to the Company and its Affiliates, and will safeguard the Confidential Information from unauthorized disclosure.  This covenant is not intended to, and does not limit in any way Stockholder’s duties and obligations to the Company under statutory and common law not to disclose or make personal use of the Confidential Information or trade secrets.

(ii)           Non-Competition.  Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s Confidential Information is an important business asset, and that if Stockholder were to work for or engage in any activity competitive with the Company, that it is likely that Stockholder would use or disclose Confidential Information.  In addition, Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that he or she has and will continue to play an integral role in the development and maintenance of goodwill between the

Company and its customers.  Accordingly, in order to protect the Company’s Confidential Information and customer goodwill, Stockholder covenants and agrees that (A) during Stockholder’s employment, consulting engagement and/or directorship with the Company, and (B) for the Post-Termination Period, Stockholder shall not knowingly directly or indirectly own an interest in, operate, join, control, advise, consult to, work for, serve as a director or manager of, have a financial interest in, or participate in any corporation, partnership, proprietorship, firm, association, person, or other entity that engages (or engaged) in the Business (“Company Activities”).  This Covenant applies to Company Activities in any territory or jurisdiction in which the Company is doing business or is making an active effort to do business during the term of Stockholder’s service and during the Post-Termination Period.  This Covenant does not prohibit the mere passive ownership of less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of any public corporation as long as Stockholder is not otherwise in violation of this Covenant.

 

(iii)          Non-Recruitment.  Stockholder agrees that the Company has invested substantial time and effort in assembling its present workforce. Accordingly, Stockholder covenants and agrees that during Stockholder’s employment, consulting engagement and/or directorship with the Company and for the Post-Termination Period, Stockholder shall not directly or indirectly entice or solicit any of the Company’s employees or contractors to leave their employment or engagement with the Company and, for the Post-Termination Period, Stockholder shall not hire any person employed by the Company during the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of termination of Stockholder’s employment, consulting engagement and/or directorship with the Company.

 

7.3           Effect of Other Agreements.  If Stockholder has entered into or enters into a separate written non-competition and/or confidentiality agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, then such agreement supersedes Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of this Agreement so long as such agreement remains in effect.

 

7.4           Enforcement of the Covenants.

 

(i)            Remedies.  Stockholder acknowledges that should he violate any of the covenants contained in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 above (collectively “Covenants”), it will be difficult to determine the resulting damages to the Company and, in addition to any other remedies the Company may have, the Company shall be entitled to seek temporary injunctive relief without being required to post a bond and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damage.  The Company may elect to seek one or more of these remedies at the Company’s sole discretion on a case by case basis.  Failure to seek any or all remedies in one case shall not restrict the Company from seeking any remedies in another situation.  Such action by the Company shall not constitute a waiver of any of the Company’s rights.  Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that any breach of any of the Covenants during the period of Stockholder’s employment, consulting engagement and/or directorship with the Company shall be grounds for immediate termination for Cause.

 

10



 

(ii)           Severability and Modification of Any Unenforceable Covenant.  It is the parties’ intent that each of the Covenants be read and interpreted with every reasonable inference given to its enforceability.  However, it is also the parties’ intent that if any term, provision or condition of the Covenants is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.  Finally, it is also the parties’ intent that if it is determined that any of the Covenants are unenforceable because of overbreadth, then the Covenants shall be modified so as to make such Covenants reasonable and enforceable under the prevailing circumstances.

 

(iii)          Tolling.  In the event of the breach by Stockholder of any Covenant, the running of the period of restriction shall be automatically tolled and suspended for the amount of time that the breach continues, and shall automatically recommence when the breach is remedied so that the Company shall receive the benefit of Stockholder’s compliance with the Covenants.  This Section 7.4(iii) shall not apply to any period for which the Company is awarded and receives actual monetary damages for breach by Stockholder of a Covenant with respect to which this Section 7.4(iii) applies.

 

(iv)          Construction.  Any reference to the Company in this Section 7 shall include the Company and all of its Subsidiaries.

8.7           Remedies.  Stockholder acknowledges that if any disputes arise out of or relate to a breach of this Agreement by Stockholder, the Company (i) would be irreparably and immediately harmed by such breach, (ii) could not be made whole by monetary damages and (iii) shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctions (or their functional equivalents) to prevent any such breach and/or to compel specific performance with this Agreement, in addition to all other remedies to which such parties may be entitled at law or in equity (in each case, without posting a bond or other security).

 

8.8           Cumulative Remedies.  All rights and remedies of each Party are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such Party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

 

8.9           Invalidity.  If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument referred to herein, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other such instrument.

 

8.10         Interpretation.  All references herein to Sections shall be deemed to be references to Sections to this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require.  The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.”  The term “or” is not exclusive.  The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.”  The words “date hereof” shall refer to the date set forth on the cover page of this Agreement.  All accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time.  The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.
