3.    Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation
3.1.    Employee hereby covenants to the Company that throughout the Term and thereafter for a period of six (6) months following the effective date of termination of Employee’s employment howsoever arising, Employee shall not:
3.1.1.    Engage, directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever, whether independently or as an employee, consultant or otherwise, through any corporate body and/or with or through others, in any activity competing with the actual and/or planned activities of the Company and its affiliates, as same have existed and shall exist from time to time during the Term and as shall exist at the effective date of termination of Employee’s employment with the Company.
3.1.2.    Accept any position, whether as employee, consultant or otherwise with, or hold any interest in, any corporate body that competes with the actual and/or planned activities of the Company as same shall exist at the termination of his employment under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing stated herein shall preclude Employee from owning a stock interest not greater than 5% in any publicly traded corporation.
3.1.3.    Whether on Employee’s own account and/or on behalf of others, in any way interfere with and/or endeavor to entice away, or offer or solicit for the purpose of so interfering and/or enticing away, from the Company and/or any of its affiliates, any person, firm or company with whom the Company and/or any of its affiliates shall have any contractual and/or commercial relationship as an employee, consultant, licenser, joint venture, supplier, customer, distributor, agent or contractor of whatsoever nature, existing or under negotiation on, or within the twelve (12) months prior to, the effective date of termination of Employee’s employment with the Company.
3.2.    Employee acknowledges that the restrictions set forth in this Section 3 are fair and reasonable, and are essential for protection of the Company’s business, the Company’s proprietary rights and other legitimate interests of the Company, in view of the nature of the business in which the Company is engaged. Employee further acknowledges that the above restrictions are customarily complied with by persons situated in a similar position, correspond with fair dealing requirements and are adequate in light of Employee’s usage of the Company resources during Employee’s employment hereunder.
3.3.    Employee is aware of and acknowledges that Employee’s obligations under Section 3.1 are derived from Employee’s access to the Company’s Propriety Information and confidential information and that a portion of the salary paid to the Employee pursuant to the Employment Agreement constitutes a special consideration given to Employee in return for the aforesaid undertakings.
3.4.    If any one or more of the terms contained in this Section 3 shall, for any reason, be held to be excessively broad with regard to time, geographic scope or activity, the term shall be construed in a manner to enable it to be enforced to the extent compatible with applicable law.
4.    Third Party Information
4.1.    The Employee represents and undertakes that he will not disclose to the Company any proprietary or confidential information belonging to any third party, including any prior or current employer or contractor, unless the written approval of that third party was received.
4.2.    The Employee recognizes that the Company may receive in the future from third parties their confidential or proprietary information, subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. The Employee undertakes to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person or entity or to use it except as necessary in carrying out his services for the Company, consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party.
