affiliates, and subsidiaries, and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, individually, and Xxxxxxx
X. Xxxxxxx XX, individually, shall not, for a period of two years from the
Closing Date, for any reason, directly or indirectly, engage in any business
or
venture that is similar to, or competes with, the business of Buyer within
the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the states of Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia,
and any other state in which Seller conducted business prior to the Closing
Date.
(b)
COVENANT NOT TO SOLICIT OR SELL TO CUSTOMERS. In addition to the restrictions
described in paragraph 7.4(a), Seller and its successors, assigns, subsidiaries
or affiliates, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, individually, and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx XX,
individually, shall not, for a period of two years from the Closing Date, for
any reason, directly or indirectly, sell, offer or solicit Competitive Services,
(as defined in paragraph 7.4 (d)), to any current or former customer, or
prospective customer of the Seller, its subsidiaries, affiliates or franchisees,
without the prior written consent of the Buyer.
(c)
COVENANT NOT TO INTERFERE. Seller and its successors, assigns, subsidiaries
or
affiliates, and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, individually, and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx XX,

(as of the Closing Date) or any former employee of Seller, or otherwise
encourage or attempt to encourage any such person to leave their respective
employment.
(d)
DEFINITIONS. References to "former" customers shall mean a person that was
a
customer of the Seller during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Closing
Date and references to "prospective" customers shall mean a person to whom
the
Seller has made a presentation within the twelve (12) month period prior to
the
Closing Date. The Term "Competitive Services" shall include employee leasing
services, payroll outsourcing, human resources advice and outsourcing, temporary
staffing services, "temp to hire" assignments, or what is commonly referred
to
as payrolling.
(e)
Divisibility OF COVENANT PERIOD. If any portion of the restrictive covenants
contained herein is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy,
each covenant shall be considered divisible as to time, customer base and
personnel,
12
such
that
each month within the specified period shall be deemed a separate period of
time, each customer shall be deemed a separate customer, resulting in an
intended requirement that the duration of time and lesser time and largest

enforceable against the Seller.
(f)
COVENANT INDEPENDENT. Each restrictive covenant set forth in this Agreement
shall be construed as a covenant independent of any other covenant or provision
of this Agreement or any other agreement which the Seller or the Xxxxxxxx may
have, whether fully performed or executory, and the existence of any claim
or
cause of action by the Seller against the Buyer, whether predicated upon another
covenant or provision of this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute
a
defense to the enforcement by the Buyer of such restrictive
covenant.
(g)
ASSIGNABILITY; SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS. All restrictive covenants contained in
this Agreement shall be fully assignable to any successor or transferee of
the
Buyer with the written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding this restriction on assignment, Xxxxx
may
assign the restrictive covenants contained herein to an affiliate of Buyer
without the prior, written consent of any party to this Agreement. In the event
of such an assignment, the parties agree and understand that the restrictive
covenants shall be enforceable only to the extent as they would apply prior
to
any assignment.
In
the
event that Seller violates a restrictive covenant described in Section 7.4,
Buyer must provide Seller with notice of such violation and give Seller a 10
day
cure period which if not resolved after such cure period to the satisfaction
of
Buyer, Buyer, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to terminate the

THIRD
PARTY Claims. With respect to claims resulting from assertion of liability
by
third parties, the obligations and liabilities of the party responsible for
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") hereunder with respect to
indemnification claims by the party entitled to indemnification (the
"Indemnified Party") will be subject to the following terms and
conditions:
16
(a)
The
Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party
of
any assertion of liability by a third party which might give rise to a claim
by
the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party based on the indemnity
agreements contained in
Section
9.2 hereof, stating the nature and basis of said assertion and the amount
thereof, to the extent known.
(b)
If
any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified Party, with

agreement contained in Section 9.2 hereof, the action, suit or proceeding will,
upon the written agreement of the Indemnifying Party that it is obligated to
indemnify under the indemnity agreement contained in Section 9.2 hereof, be

the
scope of the indemnity agreement contained in Section 9.2 hereof, or that there
may be defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those
available to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party will not have the
right to direct the defense of such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of
the
Indemnified Party and that portion of such fees and expenses reasonably related
to matters covered by the indemnity agreement contained in Section 9.2 hereof
will be borne by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will be kept
fully informed of such action, suit or proceeding at all stages thereof whether
or not it is so represented. The Indemnifying Party will make available to
the
Indemnified Party and its attorneys and accountants all books and records of
the
Indemnifying Party relating to such proceedings or litigation and the parties
hereto agree to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably
require of each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of
any
such action, suit or proceeding.
(c)
The
Indemnifying Party will not make any settlement of any claims without the
written consent of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if the Indemnified
Party fails to consent to a settlement of any claim, demand, suit or cause
of
action described in this Section 9.3, the Indemnifying Party's obligation to
indemnify an award of damages shall in no event exceed the amount that the
Indemnifying Party would have been required to indemnify for had such settlement
