By way of example, but not by way of limitation, “any service or product that competes indirectly with any services or products of the Company” includes dental services, dental products, animal health services and animal health products. For purposes of this provision, Executive shall be deemed to be interested in a Competing Business if he is engaged or interested in such Competing Business as a stockholder, director, officer, employee, salesperson, sales representative, agent, partner, individual proprietor, consultant, or otherwise, but not if such interest in the Competing Business is limited solely to the ownership of 2% or less of the equity or debt securities of any class of a corporation whose shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market. In the event that Executive obtains new employment prior to expiration of the Restricted Period, Executive shall: (i) disclose this Agreement to his new employer prior to beginning the employment; and (ii) notify the Company of the identity of his new employer within seven (7) days after accepting any offer of employment by sending a written notification to the Company. Executive agrees that the foregoing restrictions are in consideration of the consideration offered in this Agreement, and that the restrictions are reasonable and necessary for the purpose of protecting the Company’s legitimate business interests. Executive agrees that the scope of the business of the Company is independent of the location (such that it is not practical to limit the restrictions contained herein to a specific state, city or part thereof) and therefore acknowledges and agrees that the geographic scope of this restriction throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom is reasonable and necessary. Executive further agrees that the remedy of damages at law for breach by Executive of any of the covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement is an inadequate remedy. In recognition of the irreparable harm that a violation by Executive of the covenants and obligations in this Agreement would cause the Company, or any company with which the Company has a business relationship, Executive agrees that if he breaches or proposes to breach, any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach or proposed breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company, it being understood by Executive and the Company that both damages and equitable relief shall be proper modes of relief and are not to be considered alternative remedies.
