Non-Competition Period The "non-competition period" shall begin on January 1, 2014 and shall end twelve (12) months after the Employee’s termination of employment; provided, however, that the “non-competition period” shall end on the date Employee’s employment ends in the event of Employee’s termination for “good reason” (as defined in paragraph 6(d)), or Employee’s termination without “cause” (as defined in paragraph 3(d)).
Employment and Non-Competition Agreements The Employment ----------------------------------------- Agreements and Non-Competition Agreements shall be in full force and effect.
Employment; Noncompetition; Nondisclosure The Manager has not been notified that any of its executive officers or key employees named in the General Disclosure Package (each, a “Company-Focused Professional”) plans to terminate his or her employment with the Manager or Colony, as the case may be. Neither the Manager nor, to the knowledge of the Manager, any Company-Focused Professional is subject to any noncompete, nondisclosure, confidentiality, employment, consulting or similar agreement that would be violated by the present or proposed business activities of the Company or the Manager as described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
Non-Competition The Employee shall not, at any time during the Employment Term and for a period (the "Restricted Period") of three (3) years thereafter, directly or indirectly, except where specifically contemplated by the terms of his employment or this Agreement, (a) be employed by, engage in or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or act in any advisory or other capacity for, any Competing Entity which conducts its business within the Territory; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee may make solely passive investments in any Competing Entity the common stock of which is publicly held and of which the Employee shall not own or control, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate securities which constitute 5% or more of the voting rights or equity ownership of such Competing Entity; or (b) solicit or divert any business or any customer from the Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Subsidiary or assist any person, firm or corporation in doing so or attempting to do so; or (c) cause or seek to cause any person, firm or corporation to refrain from dealing or doing business with the Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Subsidiary or assist any person, firm or corporation in doing so. The Employee agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if he breaches any of his covenants contained in this Section 13, then, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company and the Subsidiary shall be entitled to (1) cease or withhold payment or provision of any severance compensation and benefits to which the Employee is otherwise entitled pursuant to Section 10(a), and (2) receive reimbursement from the Employee of any lump-sum payments previously made to the Employee of any severance compensation payable under Section 10(a) and any Closing Bonus theretofore paid to the Employee, and the Employee shall forfeit his right to receive any such severance compensation and Closing Bonus; provided, however, that any obligation of the Employee to reimburse the Company or the Subsidiary for any lump-sum payments and Closing Bonus pursuant to clause (2) of this sentence shall lapse on a pro rata basis as follows: the portion of such lump-sum payments and Closing Bonus that may be required to be so reimbursed by the Employee shall be the total of all such lump-sum payments and Closing Bonus multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days remaining in the Restricted Period following the date on which the Employee first engages in such breach of his covenants contained in this Section 13 and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days comprising the Restricted Period.
Non-Competition Covenant Employee acknowledges that the covenants set forth in this Section 4.3 are reasonable in scope and essential to the preservation of the Business of the Company (as defined herein). Employee also acknowledges that the enforcement of the covenant set forth in this Section 4.3 will not preclude Employee from being gainfully employed in such manner and to the extent as to provide a standard of living for himself or herself, the members of his or her family and the others dependent upon Employee of at least the level to which Employee and they have become accustomed and may expect. In addition, Employee acknowledges that the Company has obtained an advantage over its competitors as a result of its name, location and reputation that is characterized by near permanent relationships with vendors, customers, principals and other contacts which it has developed at great expense. Furthermore, Employee acknowledges that competition by him or her following the termination or expiration of his or her employment would impair the operation of the Company beyond that which would arise from the competition of an unrelated third party with similar skills. Employee hereby agrees that he or she shall not, during his or her employment and for a period of one (1) year after the end of his or her employment, directly or indirectly, engage in or become directly or indirectly interested in any proprietorship, partnership, firm, trust, company, limited liability company or other entity, other than the Company (whether as owner, partner, trustee, beneficiary, stockholder, member, officer, director, employee, independent contractor, agent, servant, consultant, lessor, lessee or otherwise) that competes with the Company in the Business of the Company in the Restricted Territory (as defined herein), other than owning an interest in a company listed on a recognized stock exchange in an amount which does not exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of such corporation. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term "Business of the Company" shall include all business activities and ventures related to providing telecommunications services or products in which the Company is engaged, plans to engage in the next twelve (12) months following termination of Employee's employment or has engaged in during the prior twelve (12) months, as determined at any time during the employment of the Employee; and (ii) the term "Restricted Territory" means the geographical area consisting of a seventy mile radius surrounding each city (and including such city) in which the Company maintains either an office or a telecommunications facility.
