Except as may otherwise be approved by the Supervising Officer or the Board of Directors, during the term of Executive's employment, Executive shall not have any ownership interest (of record or beneficial) in, or have any interest as an employee, salesman, consultant, officer or director in, or otherwise aid or assist in any manner, any firm, corporation, partnership, proprietorship or other business that engages in any county, city or part thereof in the United States and/or any foreign country in a business which competes directly or indirectly (as determined by the Supervising Officer or the Board of Directors) with the Company’s business or the business of its subsidiaries and affiliates in such county, city or part thereof, so long as the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any successor in interest of the Company to the business and goodwill of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, remains engaged in such business in such county, city or part thereof or continues to solicit customers or potential customers therein; provided, however, that Executive may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any entity which are traded on any national securities exchange if Executive # is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such entity; or # does not, directly or indirectly, own one percent (1%) or more of any class of securities of any such entity.

Noncompetition. The Executive agrees that, during the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not be employed by, serve as a consultant to, or otherwise assist or directly or indirectly provide services to a Competitor if # the services that the Executive is to provide to the Competitor are the same as, or substantially similar to, any of the services that the Executive provided to the Company or the Affiliates, and such services are to be provided with respect to any location in which the Company or an Affiliate had material operations during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Termination Date, or with respect to any location in which the Company or an Affiliate had devoted material resources to establishing operations during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Termination Date; or # the trade secrets, Confidential Information, or proprietary information (including, without limitation, confidential or proprietary methods) of the Company and the Affiliates to which the Executive had access could reasonably be expected to benefit the Competitor if the Competitor were to obtain access to such secrets or information. For purposes of this paragraph, services provided by others shall be deemed to have been provided by the Executive to Competitor if the Executive had material supervisory responsibilities with respect to the provision of such services. The term “Competitor” means any enterprise (including a person, firm, business, division, or other unit, whether or not incorporated) during any period in which a material portion of its business is (and during any period in which it intends to enter into business activities that would be) materially competitive in any way with any business in which the Company or any of the Affiliates were engaged during the twelve (12) month period prior to the Executive’s Termination Date (including, without limitation, any business if the Company devoted material resources to entering in such business during such twelve (12) month period), but for purposes of [clause (c) above], the term “Competitor “ shall be limited to those businesses to which the Executive devoted more than an insignificant amount of time while employed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Competitor” shall not include a business of a Competitor if such business would not, as a stand-alone enterprise, constitute a “Competitor” under the foregoing definition, provided that Executive does not render any services to, or otherwise assist the portion of the business that competes with the Company and its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s and Affiliates’ businesses shall include, without limitation, the lines of business set forth in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to limit the type of business of the Company and the Affiliates or the restrictions with respect to such businesses in the future. Any payments owed to Executive at time of separation as described herein shall be contingent upon Executive’s compliance with the post-employment noncompetition provisions.

Noncompetition. Except as may otherwise be approved by the Supervising Officer or the Board of Directors, during the term of Executive's employment, Executive shall not have any ownership interest (of record or beneficial) in, or have any interest as an employee, salesman, consultant, officer or director in, or otherwise aid or assist in any manner, any firm, corporation, partnership, proprietorship or other business that engages in any county, city or part thereof in the United States and/or any foreign country in a business which competes directly or indirectly (as determined by the Supervising Officer or the Board of Directors) with the Company’s business or the business of its subsidiaries and affiliates in such county, city or part thereof, so long as the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any successor in interest of the Company to the business and goodwill of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, remains engaged in such business in such county, city or part thereof or continues to solicit customers or potential customers therein; provided, however, that Executive may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any entity which are traded on any national securities exchange if Executive # is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such entity; or # does not, directly or indirectly, own one percent (1%) or more of any class of securities of any such entity.
