Accordingly, Employee agrees that so long as Employee is employed by the Company, and # for a period of two years following the termination of Employee’s employment, Employee shall not induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company and any other employee; # for a period of one year following the termination of Employee’s employment, Employee, except when acting at the request of the Company on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company, shall not induce customers, agents or other sources of distribution of the Company’s business under contract, or doing business, with the Company to terminate, reduce, alter or divert business with or from the Company; and # for the period during which Employee is entitled to be paid severance under this Agreement (or for a period of six (6) months after termination of Employee’s employment if Employee’s employment is terminated under circumstances in which Employee is not entitled to severance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, consultant, partner, member or manager of a limited liability company, shareholder of a company that does not have securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), or a shareholder in excess of one (1%) percent of a company that has securities registered under the 1934 Act, corporate officer or director, or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or otherwise participate in any manner or fashion in any business that directly competes with the business activities of the Company (which at the present time are point-of-care diagnostics for infectious diseases in humans and animals) in or about any market in which the Company is, or has publicly announced a plan for, doing business.
