Covenant Not to Compete During the Initial Term or any Renewal Term of this Agreement and for the Restricted Period, Employee shall not directly or indirectly engage in any business or activity of any nature whatsoever, which is substantially competitive with the business of Employer or any MVB Financial subsidiaries or affiliates within fifty (50) miles of the places of business of Employer or any MVB Financial subsidiaries or affiliates (the “Restricted Territory”), nor shall Employee sell, or solicit the sale of, any services or products related thereto, directly or indirectly, to any of the customers of Employer or any MVB Financial subsidiaries or affiliates. Without limitation of the foregoing, Employee shall not be, or serve as, a proprietor, partner, officer, director, stockholder [except a stockholder of not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of any company listed on a national securities exchange or traded over the counter], employee, sales representative or consultant for any organization, company or business entity of any type which engages in any business or activity of any nature whatsoever, which is competitive with the business of Employer or any MVB Financial subsidiaries or affiliates within the Restricted Territory. In the event this covenant not to compete shall be deemed by any court or body of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable in whole or in part by reason of its extending for too long a period of time, or too great a geographical area or over too great a range of activities, or overly broad in any other respect or for any other reason, then and in such event this Agreement shall be deemed modified and interpreted to extend over only such maximum period of time, geographical area or range of activities, or otherwise, so as to render these provisions valid and enforceable, and as so modified, these provisions shall be enforceable and enforced. BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, EMPLOYEE EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (A) THE PARTIES HAVE SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED FOR, DISCUSSED, REVIEWED AND NEGOTIATED THE TERMS OF THIS COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE AND PAYMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, (B) SPECIAL, SUBSTANTIAL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND (C) THIS COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE SHALL SURVIVE ANY EARLY OR OTHER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 5(B) OR 5(D) THEN THIS PROVISION SHALL ONLY SURVIVE SO LONG AS EMPLOYEE IS RECEIVING PAYMENTS FROM EMPLOYER.

In the event the Depositor takes action in violation of this Section 10.09, the Property Trustee agrees, for the benefit of Securityholders, that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such petition by the Depositor against the Trust or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that the Depositor has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be stopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as counsel for the Trustees or the Trust may assert.
