Covenants. 7.1 Preliminary Statement. Employee acknowledges that by virtue of Employee's duties under this Agreement, Employee shall become aware of various sensitive and confidential information, and shall develop contacts and relationships which Employee otherwise would not have had access to or developed. Employee further acknowledges that such information and relationships would give Employee an unfair competitive advantage should Employee compete with the Company. Employee further acknowledges that the Company has certain subsidiaries, affiliates and "friendly corporations and associations" (collectively, the "Related Companies") and that Employee may also become aware of certain confidential information relating to the Related Companies and will develop certain contacts and relationships with clients or customers of the Related Companies which would give Employee an unfair competitive advantage if Employee should compete with the Related Companies. Accordingly, Employee agrees that Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, whether alone or as a partner, officer, director, investor, employee, agent, member or shareholder of any other entity or corporation, without the prior written consent of the Company, violate any of the covenants (the "Covenants") set forth in this Section 7. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "affiliate" shall mean any person or entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company or a Related Company. The term "Friendly corporations or associations" herein shall mean any professional corporation or professional association with whom Team Health or any of its affiliates has contracted to provide services to hospitals. 7.2 Covenant Not to Divulge Confidential Information. During the term of Employee's employment with the Company, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and after termination of Employee's employment with the Company, Employee shall not (i) use 5 any Confidential Information of or concerning the Company or the Related Companies except for the Company's benefit or (ii) disclose or divulge to any third party any Confidential Information relating to the Company or the Related Companies, except as otherwise required by law. "Confidential Information" shall mean information concerning the Company or any Related Company, whether written or oral, which Employee is or becomes aware of and which has not been publicly disclosed. Information shall not be deemed "publicly disclosed" if disclosed by Employee in violation of this Agreement or as a result of such information being disclosed to employees or agents of the Company or any Related Company. Moreover, the parties agree that all Confidential Information shall be deemed to be trade secrets. 7.3 Covenant Not to Compete or Interfere with Business Relationships. During the term of Employee's employment with the Company, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and for two (2) years after termination of Employee's employment with the Company, Employee shall not engage in any activity competitive with or adverse to the Company or any Related Company, including the following: (i) solicit or hire (for Employee or on behalf of a third party) any person who is then, or during the term of this Agreement was, an employee or contractor (including, without limitation, any contract physicians) of the Company or any Related Company. Contract physicians shall include those physicians with whom the Company or any Related Company then has a contract, or which have actively been recruited by the Company or any Related Company within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to termination of Employee's employment; (ii) induce or attempt to induce any person or entity doing business with the Company or any Related Company, to terminate such relationship, or engage in any other activity detrimental to the Company or any Related Company. Specifically, Employee shall not solicit or contract with (a) any then current client of the Company or any Related Company, (b) any client with which the Company or any Related Company did business during the one (1) year period immediately prior to termination of Employee's employment with the Company, or (c) any prospective client of the Company or any Related Company which the Company or a Related Company was "actively seeking" to do business with within the one (1) year period immediately before termination of Employee's employment with the Company. (For purposes of this Agreement, the Company or a Related Company will be deemed to have been "actively seeking" to do business with a prospective client if the Company or a Related Company did any of the following: (A) met with the administration of such prospective client, (B) submitted a response to a Request for Proposal ("RFP") or other formal proposal from such prospective client, or (C) made any other written response to a request, solicitation, or initial discussion by or with such prospective client.); or (iii) be employed by or have any financial relationship with any entity which directly or indirectly performs any competitive activity which Employee is individually prohibited from performing under the terms of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that this Section (iii) is not intended to prohibit Employee from, and Employee shall not be prohibited 6 from, being employed by facility healthcare providers such as hospitals, surgery centers and the like. Except as specifically provided herein, the parties agree that Employee is free to engage in any business activity, not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement, in any geographic location. 7.4 Construction. For purposes of this Section 7, the term "then" shall mean at the time of Employee's engagement in the applicable conduct. The Covenants are essential elements of this Agreement, and but for Employee's agreement to comply with the Covenants, the Company would not have entered into this Agreement. The Covenants shall be construed as independent of any other provisions in this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 7.6 below, the existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the Company or any Related Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of the Covenants. The period of time during which Employee is prohibited from engaging in the business practices described in the Covenants shall be extended by any length of time during which Employee is in breach of the Covenants. The Company and Employee agree that the Covenants are appropriate and reasonable when considered in light of the nature and extent of the business conducted by the Company. However, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any portion of the Covenants, including without limitation, the specific time period, scope or geographical area, is unreasonable or against public policy, then such Covenants shall be considered divisible as to time, scope, and geographical area and the maximum time period, scope or geographical area which is determined to be reasonable and not against public policy shall be enforced. 7.5 Remedies. The parties agree that if Employee breaches any Covenant, the Company or the Related Companies, as applicable, will suffer irreparable damages and Employee will receive a benefit for which Employee had not paid. Employee agrees that (i) damages at law will be difficult to measure and an insufficient remedy to the Company or a Related Company in the event that Employee violates the terms of this Section 7 and (ii) the Company and the Related Companies shall be entitled, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, to obtain injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 7 without the necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damages, which injunctive relief shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available to the Company or the Related Companies. No remedy shall be exclusive of any other, and neither application for nor obtaining injunctive or other relief shall preclude any other remedy available, including money damages and reasonable attorneys' fees. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Related Companies are intended beneficiaries of the Covenants and shall have the same rights and remedies as the Company to enforce the Covenants. 7.6 Limitation on Enforcement. In the event the Company materially breaches this Agreement by failing to meet a payment obligation hereunder (as defined below), and Employee is not in breach of this Agreement, then Employee shall no longer be bound by the Covenants. For purposes of this Agreement, "materially breaches this Agreement by failing to meet a payment obligation hereunder" shall mean (i) the Company has failed to meet a payment 7 obligation hereunder (and likewise failed to cure such nonpayment within thirty (30) days following notice from Employee) and (ii) the Company did not have a good faith basis to not pay the disputed payment to Employee. If the Company has a good faith dispute regarding the amount owed to Employee, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 10.12 herein. If a good faith dispute does exist regarding any payment obligation, the Company shall only be deemed to have materially breached this Agreement by failing to meet a payment obligation hereunder if, after the amount to be paid is determined by an arbitrator, the Company does not pay such amount awarded by the arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the arbitrator's decision. 8. Inventions and Intellectual Property. Employee acknowledges that all developments, including, without limitation, inventions, patentable or otherwise, discoveries, improvements, patents, trade secrets, designs, reports, computer software, flow charts and diagrams, procedures, data, documentation, ideas and writings and applications thereof relating to the present or planned business of the Company or any Related Company that, alone or jointly with others, Employee may conceive, create, make, develop, reduce to practice or acquire during the term of this Agreement (collectively, the "Developments") are works made for hire and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and Employee hereby assigns to the Company all of Employee's right, title and interest in and to all such Developments. All related items, including, but not limited to, memoranda, notes, lists, charts, drawings, records, files, computer software, programs, source and programming narratives and other documentation (and all copies thereof) made or compiled by Employee, or made available to Employee, concerning the business or planned business of the Company or any Related Company shall be the property of the Company and shall be delivered to the Company promptly upon the termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 9. Key Person Insurance. The Company shall have the option to purchase key person disability and/or life insurance policies regarding Employee which name the Company or its designee as beneficiary. Employee agrees to cooperate with the Company in obtaining such policies including, without limitation, submitting to a reasonably requested medical examination. 10.
