Executive accepts such employment and agrees to devote substantially all of his business time, energies and attention to the performance of his duties; provided, however, that Executive may continue to be actively involved in educational and civic activities to the extent that such activities do not materially detract from the reasonable performance of his duties (such material detraction to be evidenced by a resolution approved by the majority of the Board and a written notice to Executive, in which event Executive shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days to reduce the level of such activities in a reasonable manner).

Any such expense in excess of $1000 shall be pre-approved. Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing Executive from (i) making and supervising investments on a personal or family basis (including trusts, funds and investment entities in which Executive or members of his family have an interest) and (ii) serving on the Board of Directors of not more than three corporations involved primarily in “for profit” business activities; provided, however, that these activities do not materially interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder or violate the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof and are promptly disclosed to the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b) Executive represents and covenants that Executive is not the subject of or a party to any employment agreement, non-competition or non-solicitation covenant, non-disclosure agreement, or any other agreement, covenant, understanding, or restriction that would prohibit Executive from executing this Agreement and fully performing Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, or would in any manner, directly or indirectly, limit or affect the duties and responsibilities that may now or in the future be assigned to Executive hereunder.
(c) Executive acknowledges and agrees that Executive owes the Company and its Affiliates fiduciary duties, including duties of care, loyalty, fidelity, and allegiance, such that Executive shall act at all times in the best interests of the Company and its Affiliates and shall not appropriate any business opportunity of the Company or its Affiliates for Executive. Executive agrees that the obligations described in this Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligations Executive owes the Company and its Affiliates under common law. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Executive may provide services (including as an executive, employee, director, or otherwise) to multiple Affiliates of the Company and, in providing such services, Executive will not be violating Executive’s obligations hereunder so long as Executive abides by the terms of Sections 7, 8, and 9 below in the course of performing such services.
Resignation from Directorships and Officerships The termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason will constitute the Executive’s resignation from (i) any director, officer or employee position the Executive has with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) all fiduciary positions (including as a trustee) the Executive holds with respect to any employee benefit plans or trusts established by the Company.
