8. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. 

8.1. Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the business and proposed business of the Company and hereby agrees that, during the Term hereof and for a period of one year after the expiration or any earlier termination of the Term of this Agreement (other than any such earlier termination by Executive pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2(g) hereof) (such period to be referred to hereinafter as the “Applicable Period”), he will not, directly or indirectly, on his own behalf or in the service of or on behalf of others, whether as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, trustee, principal, employee, consultant, agent, or owner of any capital stock, partnership interest or other interest in any corporation, partnership or other entity, or in any other capacity, own an interest in, perform any services or conduct any activity for or on behalf of any entity which is engaged in a business that is competitive with that of the Company, (such prohibited activities being referred to herein as a “Precluded Business Activity”). Executive acknowledges that, due to the nature of the Company’s business on all continents, it is essential to provide for as broad a geographical limitation as possible with respect to the aforementioned covenant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that although Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Section 8.1 to be reasonable, the Executive agrees that in the event it is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the specified time period or geographical area or scope of the foregoing restriction is unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, contrary to law, invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including the remaining provisions of this Section) shall not be rendered void, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect and the provisions hereof which are the subject of any such judicial determination shall be deemed amended to apply to any such lesser time period, geographical area, or scope which is judicially determined or indicated to be reasonable, non-arbitrary and not violative of public policy, not contrary to law, invalid and/or unenforceable and such provisions, as modified, may be enforced by the Company against the Executive in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section is intended to nor shall preclude the ownership by Executive of not more than five (5%) percent of the outstanding securities of any publicly owned corporation or other entity engaged in a Precluded Business Activity, provided that such ownership is solely for investment purposes and is not coupled with any working relationship between Executive and such corporation or entity.

  8.2. Executive will not, at any time during or after the Term hereof, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit the business of any client or customer of the Company for purposes of engaging in activities which are the same or similar to the activities of the Company, or (ii) solicit, interfere with, or endeavor either to cause any employee, agent, consultant, customer or supplier of the Company to leave his or her employment with the Company, or terminate its relationship with the Company, or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any such employee, agent, consultant, customer or supplier to breach any employment agreement or other agreement or arrangement that such employee, agent, consultant, customer, or supplier may have with the Company.

8.3.  Executive hereby acknowledges that the provisions of Section 7 and of this Section 8 are necessary for the protection of the Company's business and goodwill and are considered by Executive to be fair and reasonable. Executive further acknowledges that he has fully and carefully reviewed, considered and understands all of the restrictions imposed upon him under Section 7 and this Section 8. Accordingly, Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened breach by him of the provisions of Section 7 and/or this Section 8, there will be no adequate remedy at law for any such breach or threatened breach and that any such breach or threatened breach may cause irreparable harm to the Company and, therefore, Executive hereby consents in any such instance to the granting of injunctive or other equitable relief to the Company, as a non-exclusive remedy, in any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damage or that monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy at a law or posting a bond therefor.
 
9. Representations and Warranties. The Company and Executive hereby represent and warrant to each other as follows:
 
9.1. All action on the part of the Company and Executive necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, has been taken and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company and Executive, as applicable, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights and by general principles of equity.

9.2. The authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not result in any violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, a breach or default under any provision of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or agreement to which the Company or Executive, as applicable, is a party or by which it or he is bound.

6

9.3. There is no action, suit, proceeding, or investigation pending, or to the knowledge of the Company or Executive, as applicable, currently threatened against the Company or Executive, as applicable, in any way relating to the validity of this Agreement or the right of the Company or Executive, as applicable, to enter into or to perform under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

10. Indemnification. 

  10.1.  Executive will be entitled to all of the same rights of indemnification granted by the Company to its officers and directors during the Term hereof (including all indemnification rights pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws and any professional liability insurance policy obtained and maintained by the Company during the Term hereof).

The failure to so notify Indemnitor shall not, however, release Indemnitor from any obligation or liability it may have to Indemnitee under this Section unless such failure materially prejudices Indemnitor. Indemnitor agrees to defend, contest or otherwise protect Indemnitee against any Indemnity Claim at Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in the defense thereof by counsel of Indemnitee's choice and shall in any event cooperate with and assist Indemnitor to the extent reasonably possible. If Indemnitor fails to timely defend, contest or otherwise protect against such Indemnity Claim, Indemnitee shall have the right to do so, including, without limitation, the right to make any compromise or settlement thereof, and the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover the entire cost thereof from Indemnitor, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and amounts paid as the result of such Indemnity Claim , and Indemnitor shall be bound by any determination made in such Indemnity Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnitee. If Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Indemnity Claim , (a) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Indemnity Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification hereunder, (b) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by Indemnitor without Indemnitee's written consent unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of federal, state, local, municipal, foreign, international, multinational or other administrative order, law, ordinance, principal of common law, regulation, statute or treaty or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against Indemnitee and (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by Indemnitor; and (c) Indemnitee will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10, if Indemnitee settles or compromises any Indemnity Claim without Indemnitor’s prior written consent, Indemnitor shall have no obligation for indemnification under this Section 10.
