Prohibition Against Transfer The Option and rights granted by the Corporation under this Agreement are not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Option may not be assigned, transferred except as aforesaid, pledged or hypothecated, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon the Option, shall be null and void and without effect.
Prohibition Against Recording Except as provided in Section 29.4 of this Lease, neither this Lease, nor any memorandum, affidavit or other writing with respect thereto, shall be recorded by Tenant or by anyone acting through, under or on behalf of Tenant.
Prohibition Against Assignment During the Vesting Period, the Restricted Shares may not be transferred or encumbered by the Recipient by means of sale, assignment, mortgage, transfer, exchange, pledge, or otherwise. The levy of any execution, attachment, or similar process upon the Restricted Shares shall be null and void.
Prohibition Against Termination or Modification No Borrower shall (i) surrender, terminate, cancel, modify, renew or extend its Management Agreement, (ii) enter into any other agreement relating to the management or operation of the Property owned by it with Manager or any other Person, (iii) consent to the assignment by the Manager of its interest under any Management Agreement, or (iv) waive or release any of its rights and remedies under any Management Agreement, in each case without the express consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, however, with respect to a new property manager such consent may be conditioned upon Borrowers delivering a Rating Agency Confirmation from each applicable Rating Agency as to such new property manager and management agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, provided no Event of Default is continuing, the approval of Lender and the Rating Agencies shall not be required with respect to the appointment of an Unaffiliated Qualified Manager. If at any time Lender consents to the appointment of a new property manager or a Qualified Manager is appointed, such new property manager (including a Qualified Manager) and Borrowers shall, as a condition of Lender’s consent, execute (i) a management agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) a subordination of management agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender and (iii) deliver an updated Insolvency Opinion if such Qualified Manager is an Affiliate of any Borrower, any Guarantor or Key Principal.
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) business days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord’s option shall attach only against Tenant’s interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title to the Project, Building and Premises.
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST COMPANY Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Independent Director shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or advancement of Indemnifiable Expenses with respect to any Proceeding brought by the Independent Director against the Company, any Entity which it controls, any director or officer thereof, or any third party, unless the Company has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding. This section shall not apply to counterclaims or affirmative defenses asserted by the Independent Director in an action brought against the Independent Director.
Covenant Against Disclosure All Confidential Information relating to the Business is, shall be and shall remain the sole property and confidential business information of the Company, free of any rights of the Executive.

Automated Quotation System or equivalent non-U.S. securities exchange, (B) the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such entity and (C) the Executive does not, directly or indirectly, own two percent (2%) or more of any class of securities of such entity; (iii) the Executive may own or participate in the ownership of the Second City private equity funds including Second City Capital Partners II, Limited Partnership, Second City Real Estate II, Limited Partnership, SC Principals Limited Partnership as well as their respective general partners, related companies and future Second City fund vehicle, which ownership, management or participation has been disclosed to the Board; and (iv) the Executive may, directly or indirectly, invest in commercial real estate or other assets so long as they are not Suitable Properties (as defined in Section 15(a)), and the Executive may own or participate in the ownership of Suitable Properties if such opportunity has been first provided to the Company and the Company has declined to acquire it in writing, providing that such ownership, management or participation has been disclosed to the Board. Further, the covenant against competition described herein shall not apply to the Executive with respect to any business or venture that competes with a New Business to the extent that the Executive’s actions or participation occurred before the Company became engaged in the New Business.
Covenant Against Competition During the period of Participant’s employment and for two (2) years after his or her Last Day of Employment, Participant acknowledges and agrees he or she will not, directly or indirectly, establish or engage in any business or organization, or own or control any interest in, be employed by, or act as an officer, director, consultant, advisor, or lender to, any of the following located in those geographic markets where Participant has had direct and substantial involvement in Company’s operations in such geographic markets: (a) any entity that engages in any business competitive with the business activities of Company including, without limitation, its assisted and digital (including software) tax services businesses (“Prohibited Companies”); (b) any financial institution or business where any of Participant’s duties or activities would relate to or assist in providing services or products to one or more of the Prohibited Companies for use in connection with products, services or assistance being provided to customers; or (c) any financial institution or business whose primary purpose is to provide services or products to one or more of the Prohibited Companies for use in connection with products, services or assistance being provided to customers. Without limiting clause (c), any financial institution or business whose profits or revenues from the provision of services or products to the Prohibited Companies exceeds 25% of total profits or revenues, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be covered by clause (c). For Participants whose primary place of employment as of the Last Day of Employment is in Puerto Rico or Arizona, the restrictions in this Section 2.2 shall be limited to one (1) year following Participant’s Last Day of Employment. The restrictions in this Section 2.2 shall not apply if Participant’s primary place of employment as of the Last Day of Employment is in California or North Dakota; provided, however, to the extent permitted under such states’ laws, Company nevertheless retains all rights and remedies set forth in Sections 2.8 and 2.9 in lieu of enforcing the restrictive covenant set forth in this Section 2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant has a standalone employment agreement with Company and such employment agreement includes covenants against competition or non-solicitation of customers, the scope, but not the duration, of such covenants shall apply solely for purposes of Sections 2.2 and 2.4, but shall have no other effect on this Award Agreement. All other covenants contained in this Section 2 shall apply to Participant notwithstanding any covenants or other terms contained in any other agreement.
