employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by Executive to Employer or otherwise.
11. Confidentiality; Non-Competition.
          (a) Non-Disclosure and Non-Use of Confidential Information. Executive shall not disclose any Employer Confidential Information to any third party (other than accountants, lawyers and other third parties engaged by and working at the behest of Employer) without the specific written consent of Employer and shall use Employer Confidential information solely for the benefit of Employer. Executive shall hold all and any Employer Confidential Information in confidence.
          (b) Definition of Employer Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, "Employer Confidential Information” includes, in whatever form or format, all information — disclosed to or known to Executive as a direct or indirect consequence of or through Executive’s employment with Employer — about Employer, its parents or subsidiaries, its technology, finances, business methods, plans, operations, services, products and processes (whether existing or contemplated), or any of its executives, clients, agents or suppliers, including all information relating to software programs, source codes or object codes; computer systems; computer systems analyses, testing results; flow charts and designs; product specifications, and documentation; user documentation; sales plans; sales records; sales literature; customer and prospect lists and files; research and development projects or plans; marketing and merchandising plans and strategies; pricing strategies; price lists; sales or licensing terms and conditions; consulting sources; supply and service sources; procedure or policy manuals; legal matters; financial statements; financing methods; financial projections; and the terms and conditions of business arrangements with its parent, clients, suppliers, banks, or other financial institutions.
          (c) Proprietary Information Obligations. Employer respects the right of every employer to protect its confidential and proprietary information. Employer specifically wishes to prevent Executive or any individual interested in employment with Employer from using on behalf of Employer or disclosing to Employer at any time before, during or after Executive’s employment with Employer any confidential or proprietary information belonging to any other third party. Executive represents to Employer that he will not use or otherwise exploit third party confidential or proprietary information in the performance of his duties hereunder. Further, between the date of this Employment Agreement and the date Executive begins employment with Employer, Executive will continue to comply with any executory obligations to protect Executive’s current employer’s confidential and proprietary information. Executive’s failure to observe those continuing obligations could result in Employer’s refusal to hire or, if discovered after Executive has already begun employment with Employer, disciplinary action up to and including termination of Executive’s employment.
          (d) Non-Competition. In consideration of Employer’s promises and payments under this Agreement, Executive agrees that, during the Employment Period and for a period of one (1) year thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), Executive shall not (as principal, agent, executive, consultant, volunteer or otherwise), engage (other than on behalf of Employer or its affiliates) in a Competing Business (as defined below) anywhere in the territory of the United States, or, without

 


 

the prior consent of Employer, advise, own an interest in, manage, operate, join, control, lend money or render financial, technical or other assistance (other than customary professional courtesies afforded to members of the business community) to or participate in or be connected with, as an officer, executive, partner, stockholder, consultant, advisor or other similar capacity, any Competing Business; provided, however, that ownership of securities having no more than one percent of the outstanding voting power of any competitor which are listed on any national securities exchange or traded actively in the national over-the-counter market shall not be deemed to be in violation of this subsection so long as Executive has no other connection or relationship with such competitor that would not be permitted hereby. For purposes hereof, “Competing Business” means the business of developing, designing, publishing, marketing, offering, providing, maintaining or distributing databases and software applications or services which are competitive with products or services of Employer, are generally referred to as “multi-family apartment community management applications” and are generally used at apartment communities by personnel engaged in the operation, leasing, pricing, promotion and maintenance of apartment units. Without limitation of the foregoing, multi-family apartment community management applications and data bases shall include software used in screening potential residents, performing accounting functions, providing a community web site, providing resident incentives, performing market research, providing utility management services, performing marketing assistance and communicating via the Internet with prospects, applicants, residents, service providers, suppliers and advertising providers. This Section 11(d) shall immediately become null, void and without further effect should Employer cease to conduct its business operations in the ordinary course for any reason, including, without limitation, bankruptcy.
          (e) Non-Interference with Licensees. Executive hereby agrees that, during the Restricted Period (other than on behalf of Employer or its affiliates), Executive shall not in any way, for the purpose of conducting or engaging in a Competing Business, call upon, solicit, respond to, advise or otherwise do, or attempt to do business with any then- existing or former customer or licensee of Employer or any affiliate of Employer or take away or attempt to interfere with any then-existing or former customer, licensee, trade, business or patronage of Employer or any affiliate. For purposes of this Section 11(e), the term “former” customer or “former” licensee shall refer to any former customer or licensee of Employer within six (6) months of their having ceased to be a customer or licensee of Employer.
          (f) Non-Interference with Employees. Executive hereby agrees, during the Restricted Period, not to hire or retain, attempt to hire or retain, any of Employer’s then-existing or former officers, executives, employees, representatives, consultants or agents, not to induce any such to relinquish with or representation of Employer or any affiliate and not to otherwise interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, the relationship of any such with Employer or any affiliate. For purposes of this Section 11(f), the term “former” officer, executive, employee, representative, consultant or agent of Employer shall refer to any former officer, executive, employee, representative, consultant or agent of Employer within six (6) months of their having ceased to be an officer, executive, employee, representative, consultant or agent of Employer or any affiliate.
          (g) Non-Interference with Business Relationships. Executive hereby agrees, during the Restricted Period, that Executive shall not for the purpose of conducting or engaging in a Competing Business, attempt to interfere with, impair, or adversely affect any contractual

 


 

relationships or business relationships between the Company and any of the technology or distribution companies with whom the Company has strategic relationships.
          (h) Non-Disparagement. Executive hereby agrees, that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not disparage either orally or in writing the Company, its products or services, or its officers, directors, or employees. Company hereby agrees, that during the Restricted Period, it shall not disparage Executive either orally or in writing.
          (i) Injunctive Relief. Executive recognizes and agrees that the injury the Company will suffer in the event of a breach of this Section 11 may cause the Company irreparable injury that cannot adequately be compensated by monetary damages alone. Therefore, in the event of a breach of this Section 11 by Executive, or any attempted or threatened breach, Executive agrees that the Company, without limiting any legal or equitable remedies available to it, shall be entitled to equitable relief by preliminary and permanent injunction or otherwise, without the necessity of posting any bond or undertaking, against Executive and/or the business enterprise with which Executive may have become associated, from any court of competent jurisdiction.
12. Reasonableness of Restrictions. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and restrictive agreements contained in this Agreement are reasonable as to scope, location, duration or area of applicability, and that observation thereof will not cause Executive undue hardship or unreasonably interfere with Executive’s ability to earn a livelihood and practice Executive’s present skills and trades. Executive has consulted with legal counsel of his choice regarding the meaning of such covenants and restrictions, which have been explained to his satisfaction. If any covenant or restrictive agreement contained in this Agreement is held to be unenforceable because of the scope, location, duration or area of its applicability, the court or arbitrator making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope, duration or area or all of them, and such provision shall then be applicable in such modified form.
13. Successors; Binding Agreement.
          (a) Employer’s Successors. Employer shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of its businesses and/or assets to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Employer would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of Employer to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of a material provision of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive to compensation in the same amount and on the same terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if terminated his employment for Good Reason, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, the “Employer” shall mean Employer as hereinbefore defined and any successor to the business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 13 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

 


 

          (b) Executive’s Successors. This Agreement shall not be assignable by Executive. This Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to Executive’s estate.
14. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Employer shall indemnify Executive (including the advancement of legal, accounting and other expert expenses) for any judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Executive in connection with the defense of any lawsuit or other claim to which he is made a party by reason of performing his responsibilities as an officer or executive of Employer or any of its subsidiaries; except that, Employer shall have no such duty of indemnification with regard to claims or suits brought, for any reason, against Executive by any former employer of Executive.
15. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices, demands and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered to a national overnight delivery service or (unless otherwise specified) mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as set forth in the Preamble of this Agreement or to such other address as any party may have furnished to the others in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. No notices may be given via e-mail or facsimile transmission.
16. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
18. Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Employer may withhold from amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, local and foreign taxes that are required to be withheld by applicable laws or regulations.
19. Executive’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Executive represents, warrants and covenants to Employer that (a) the terms of this Agreement and his employment by the Employer do not and will not breach any agreement between Executive and any other entity; (b) that Executive has not previously assumed any obligations inconsistent with those of this Agreement; (c) that Executive will not disclose to the Employer, or to any director, officer, executive or agent thereof, any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any other entity, including, without limitation, Executive’s previous employer; and (d) that during Executive’s employment by the Employer, he will not use or attempt to use without prior permission of the owner thereof, any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any other entity in behalf of the Employer. Executive further agrees and

 


 

covenants that, during the term of this Agreement and his employment by Employer, he will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge, or data acquired by Executive in confidence or in trust prior to employment with Employer, and Executive will not disclose to Employer, or induce or cause Employer to use, any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or others.
20. Governance of Employment Relationship. To the extent not governed by the specific provisions hereof, the employment relationship between Executive and Employer shall be governed by the Employer’s general rules, policies, procedures and plans relating to employment and executive benefits.
21. Outside Fees. Executive agrees and covenants not to solicit or receive any income or other compensation from any third party doing business with Employer, including, without limitation, any supplier, client, customer, or executive of Employer, in connection with his employment with Employer.
22. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by Executive and an authorized officer of Employer. No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by the other parties hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by any such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. Any termination of Executive’s employment or of this Agreement shall have no effect on any continuing obligations arising under this Agreement, including without limitation, the right of Executive to receive payments pursuant to Section 9 hereof and the obligations of Executive described in Section 11 hereof.
23. Applicable Law, Venue, Jurisdiction and Arbitration. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed by the Parties in and shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas (excluding any conflicts-of-law rule or principle of Texas law that might refer the governance, construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the laws of another state). In the event of a dispute or in the event of any other legal action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for such legal action or proceeding shall be the general civil trial courts of Denton County, Texas, or the United States District Court having jurisdiction in Denton County, Texas. Each Party irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-convenience or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of said courts. Employer shall have the option, in the event of a dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, to submit said dispute to arbitration in Denton County, Texas, pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and judgment upon the award may be entered in any of the aforementioned courts having jurisdiction over this Agreement.
24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, letters of intent, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or

 


 

written, by an officer, executive or representative of any party hereto; and any prior agreement of the parties hereto in respect to the subject matter contained herein.
