Covenant Not to Compete. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Company has invested a great deal of time and money in developing relationships with its employees, customers, and “Merchandise Vendors” (as defined below). Employee further acknowledges and agrees that in rendering services to Company, Employee has been, will be and will continue to be exposed to and learn much information about Company’s business, including valuable Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, the Company’s employees, and the Company’s “Merchandise Vendors,” to which Employee would not have access if not for Employee’s employment with Company and which it would be unfair to disclose to others, or to use to Company’s disadvantage. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary and reasonable to protect Company’s legitimate business interests in its Trade Secrets, valuable Confidential Information and relationships and goodwill with its employees, customers, and “Merchandising Vendors.” Employee further acknowledges that Employee’s skills, education and training qualify Employee to work and obtain employment which does not violate this Agreement and that the restrictions in this Agreement have been crafted as narrowly as reasonably possible to protect Company’s legitimate business interests in its Trade Secrets, valuable Confidential Information and relationships and goodwill with its employees, customers, and “Merchandising Vendors.” In light of the foregoing, Employee agrees that he/she will not, at any point during his/her employment with Company, work for or engage or participate in any business, enterprise, or endeavor that in any way competes with any aspect of Company’s business or that otherwise conflicts with Company’s interests. In addition, for a period of one (1) year following the Separation Date, and regardless of the reason for separation, Employee shall not, within any geographic area in which Company does business at any time during Employee’s employment with Company: (a) become employed by or work for a “Competitor” (as defined below) in any position or capacity involving duties and/or responsibilities which are the same as or substantially similar to any of the duties and/or responsibilities Employee had with and/or performed for Company; or (b) perform or provide any services which are the same as or substantially similar to any of the services which Employee performed or provided for the Company, for or on behalf of any Competitor.

Covenant Not to Compete. Without the consent of the Company, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the world, at any time during the Employment Period and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the termination of Executive's employment with the Company for any reason, be associated or in any way connected as an owner, investor, partner, director, officer, employee, agent, or consultant with any business entity directly engaged in the manufacture and/or sale of products competitive with any material product or product lines of the Company; provided, however, that the Executive shall not be deemed to have breached this undertaking if his sole relation with such entity consists of his holding, directly or indirectly, an equity interest in such entity not greater than two percent (2%) of such entity's outstanding equity interest, and the class of equity in which the Executive holds an interest is listed and traded on a broadly recognized national or regional securities exchange. For purposes hereof, the term "material product or product line of the Company" shall mean any product or product line of the Company, the aggregate gross sales of which during any calendar year during the five (5) year period preceding the Executive's undertaking such association with such a competitor were at least $10 million. The Executive acknowledges that: (a) the services to be performed by him under this Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary, and intellectual character; (b) the business of the Company is worldwide in scope and its products are marketed throughout the world; (c) the Company competes with other businesses that are or could be located in any part of the world; and (d) the provisions of this Section 9 are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company's business. If any covenant in this Section 9 is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant will be considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time, and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time, or geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, will be effective, binding, and enforceable against the Executive. The period of time applicable to any covenant in this Section 9 will be extended by the duration of any violation by the Executive of such covenant. The Executive will, while the covenants under this Section 9 are in effect, give notice to th...
Covenant Not to Compete a. Executive agrees that for the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year after this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 5.a. or 5.b., Executive will not directly or indirectly be employed by, own, manage, operate, support, join, or benefit in any way from any business activity within the states where Employer operates that is competitive with Employer’s business or reasonably anticipated business of which Executive has knowledge. For purposes of the foregoing, Executive will be deemed to be connected with such business if the business is carried on by: (i) a partnership in which Executive is a general or limited partner; or (ii) a corporation of which Executive is a shareholder (other than a shareholder owning less than five percent (5%) of the total outstanding shares of the corporation), officer, director, employee or consultant, whether paid or unpaid. In the event of an alleged breach by Executive of this Section 7, the one-year noncompete period shall be extended until such breach or violation has been duly cured, and shall restart so that Employer has received the intended benefit of one uninterrupted year of noncompetition by Executive.

For purposes of this Agreement, the Company’s “Business” is defined so as to consist of the development, acquisition, ownership, management, and sale of a diversified portfolio of high-quality, freestanding net-lease properties leased to retail, restaurant, convenience-store and similar businesses, and such other businesses conducted by the Company after the date hereof, and from time to time during the Term, that shall become material and substantial with respect to the Company’s then-overall business.
