Upon termination of the Employment Period or at the request of the President at any time, Employee shall deliver to the President all documents containing Confidential Information or relating to the business or affairs of the Company that Employee may then possess or have under Employees control. |

Nothing herein shall prohibit Employee from being a passive owner of not more than 5% of any publicly-traded class of capital stock of any entity engaged in a competing business, provided that Employee has no other relationship with such entity.
B. Non-Solicitation. During the Non-Compete Period, Employee shall not (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company to terminate, or in any way interfere with, the relationship between the Company and any employee thereof, (ii) hire directly or through another entity any person who was an employee of the Company at any time during the Employment Period or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer or other business relation of the Companies to cease doing business with the Company, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer or business relation and the Companies.
