Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 and 4 above, the restrictions imposed upon Employee in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 4.1 of this Agreement during the period following the termination of his employment hereunder shall apply in the event of Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company without Cause pursuant to Section 1.4(ii) following a Change in Control or by
