Employee Covenants The Employee agrees and covenants:
Non-Compete Covenant For a period of 2 years after the effective date of this Agreement, NC will not directly or indirectly engage in any business that competes with ARS. This covenant shall apply to the geographical area that includes North America.
Noncompetition Covenant (a) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he will receive significant and substantial benefits from his employment with the Company under this Agreement, including the remuneration, compensation and other consideration inuring to his benefit hereunder, as well as introductions to, personal experience with, training in and knowledge of the Company and its Affiliates, the industries in which they engage, and third parties with whom they conduct business. Accordingly, in consideration of the foregoing, and to induce the Company to employ and continue to employ the Executive hereunder and provide such benefits to the Executive (in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable employment policies of the Company and its Affiliates), the Executive agrees that he will not during the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending twelve (12) months after the effective date of the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates (the “Non-Competition Period”) for any reason:
Non-Competition Covenant Employee acknowledges that the covenants set forth in this Section 4.3 are reasonable in scope and essential to the preservation of the Business of the Company (as defined herein). Employee also acknowledges that the enforcement of the covenant set forth in this Section 4.3 will not preclude Employee from being gainfully employed in such manner and to the extent as to provide a standard of living for himself or herself, the members of his or her family and the others dependent upon Employee of at least the level to which Employee and they have become accustomed and may expect. In addition, Employee acknowledges that the Company has obtained an advantage over its competitors as a result of its name, location and reputation that is characterized by near permanent relationships with vendors, customers, principals and other contacts which it has developed at great expense. Furthermore, Employee acknowledges that competition by him or her following the termination or expiration of his or her employment would impair the operation of the Company beyond that which would arise from the competition of an unrelated third party with similar skills. Employee hereby agrees that he or she shall not, during his or her employment and for a period of one (1) year after the end of his or her employment, directly or indirectly, engage in or become directly or indirectly interested in any proprietorship, partnership, firm, trust, company, limited liability company or other entity, other than the Company (whether as owner, partner, trustee, beneficiary, stockholder, member, officer, director, employee, independent contractor, agent, servant, consultant, lessor, lessee or otherwise) that competes with the Company in the Business of the Company in the Restricted Territory (as defined herein), other than owning an interest in a company listed on a recognized stock exchange in an amount which does not exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of such corporation. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term "Business of the Company" shall include all business activities and ventures related to providing telecommunications services or products in which the Company is engaged, plans to engage in the next twelve (12) months following termination of Employee's employment or has engaged in during the prior twelve (12) months, as determined at any time during the employment of the Employee; and (ii) the term "Restricted Territory" means the geographical area consisting of a seventy mile radius surrounding each city (and including such city) in which the Company maintains either an office or a telecommunications facility.
Executive Covenants This is an Exhibit A to, and forms a part of, an agreement with the Company relating to employment and post-employment competition (the "Presidents' Council Agreement"). This Exhibit shall not diminish in any way Executive's rights under the terms of such Presidents' Council Agreement, except that Executive's receipt of benefits under this Exhibit is contingent upon Executive's compliance in all material respects with all of the terms and conditions of the Presidents' Council Agreement.
Non-Compete Covenants If Employee terminates his employment without cause, or if Employee's employment is terminated by Bank for cause, then for one year from the date of such termination Employee will not, without the prior written consent of Bank:
Restrictive Covenant The Employer and the Executive have jointly reviewed the tenant lists, property submittals, logs, broker lists, and operations of the Employer, and have agreed that as an essential ingredient of and in consideration of this Agreement and the payment of the amounts described in Sections 3 and 4 hereof, the Executive hereby agrees that, except with the express prior written consent of the Employer, for a period equal to the lesser of the number of FULL months the Executive has at any time been employed by the Employer or twenty-four (24) months after the termination of the Executive's employment with the Employer (the "Restrictive Period"), he will not directly or indirectly compete with the business of the Employer, including, but not by way of limitation, by directly or indirectly owning, managing, operating, controlling, financing, or by directly or indirectly serving as an employee, officer or director of or consultant to, or by soliciting or inducing, or attempting to solicit or induce, any employee or agent of Employer to terminate employment with Employer and become employed by any person, firm, partnership, corporation, trust or other entity which owns or operates a business similar to that of the Employer (the "Restrictive Covenant"). For purposes of this subparagraph (a), a business shall be considered "similar" to that of the Employer if it is engaged in the acquisition, development, ownership, operation, management or leasing of suburban office property (i) in any geographic market or submarket in which the Employer owns more than 750,000 s.f. of properties either as of the date hereof or as of the date of termination of the Executive's employment. If the Executive violates the Restrictive Covenant and the Employer brings legal action for injunctive or other relief, the Employer shall not, as a result of the time involved in obtaining such relief, be deprived of the benefit of the FULL period of the Restrictive Covenant. Accordingly, the Restrictive Covenant shall be deemed to have the duration specified in this paragraph (a) computed from the date the relief is granted but reduced by the time between the period when the Restrictive Period began to run and the date of the first violation of the Restrictive Covenant by the Executive. In the event that a successor of the Employer assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement or otherwise acquires the Employer, this Restrictive Covenant shall continue to apply only to the primary service area of the Employer as it existed immediately before such assumption or acquisition and shall not apply to any of the successor's other offices or markets. The foregoing Restrictive Covenant shall not prohibit the Executive from owning, directly or indirectly, capital stock or similar securities which are listed on a securities exchange or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System which do not represent more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding capital stock of any corporation.
Nonsolicitation Covenant In consideration of the payments to be made to Executive hereunder, Executive hereby covenants, for a period of two (2) years following the Qualifying Termination, that he will not, directly or indirectly (whether as an officer, director, employee, individual proprietor, control shareholder, consultant, partner or otherwise) (i) solicit, recruit or hire-away any employee of the Company or successor of the Company or (ii) solicit, influence or attempt to influence any person or entity to terminate such person’s or entity’s contractual and/or business relationship with the Company or successor of the Company. With regard to this Section 9, Executive acknowledges that the provisions herein are reasonable in both scope and duration and necessary to protect the business of the Company or its successor.
