IV. COVENANTS OF DIRECTOR

 

A. No Conflict of Interest. For so long as Director is a member of the Board, Director shall not be employed by, own, manage, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any business entity that is competitive with the Company or otherwise undertake any obligation inconsistent with the terms hereof, provided that Director may continue Director’s current affiliations or other current relationships in existence on the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Current Affiliations”). For a period of one (1) year after the Expiration Date, Director shall not be employed by, operate, or manage any business entity that is competitive with the Company. This Agreement is subject to the current terms and agreements governing Director’s relationship with the Current Affiliations, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to be or will be construed to inhibit or limit any of Director’s obligations to the Current Affiliations. Director represents that nothing in this Agreement conflicts with Director’s obligations to the Current Affiliations. A business entity shall be deemed to be “competitive with the Company” for purpose of this Article IV only if and to the extent it engages in a business substantially similar to the Company’s natural products and ingredients businesses.

 

没有利益冲突:只要董事是董事会成员,董事不得受雇于、拥有、管理、控制或参与与公司有竞争关系的任何业务实体的所有权、管理、运营或控制,或以其他方式承担与本协议条款不一致的任何义务,但董事可以继续在本协议签订日期存在的董事当前关联关系或其他现有关系(统称“当前关联关系”)。在到期日之后的一(1)年内,董事不得受雇于、经营或管理与公司有竞争关系的任何业务实体。本协议受有关董事与当前合作伙伴关系的现行条款和协议的约束,本协议中的任何内容均不打算或将被解释为抑制或限制董事对当前合作伙伴的任何义务。董事声明本协议中的任何内容均不与董事对当前附属公司的义务相冲突。就本条第四条而言,只有当一个经营实体所从事的业务与本公司的天然产品和成分业务实质上相似时,该经营实体才应被视为“与本公司具有竞争能力”。

 

B. Noninterference with Business. During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of one (1) year after the Expiration Date, Director agrees not to interfere with the business of the Company in any manner. By way of example and not of limitation, Director agrees not to solicit or induce any employee, independent contractor, customer, or supplier of the Company to terminate or breach his or her employment, contractual or other relationship with the Company.

 

B.不干涉业务。在本协议有效期内以及到期日后一(1)年内,董事同意不以任何方式干预公司业务。举例说明但不限于此,董事同意不招揽或诱使公司的任何员工、独立承包商、客户或供应商终止或违反其与公司的雇佣、合同或其他关系。

 

C. Mutual Non-Disparagement. Director and the Company mutually agree to forbear from making, causing to be made, publishing, ratifying, or endorsing any and all disparaging remarks, derogatory statements or comments made to any party with respect to either of them. Further, the parties hereto agree to forbear from making any public or non-confidential statement with respect to any claim or complain against either party without the mutual consent of each of them, to be given in advance of any such statement.

 

C.互不诋毁。董事和公司共同同意,不对任何一方就其中任何一方发表、导致他人发表、批准或赞同任何和所有贬损性言论、贬损性声明或评论。此外,在此协议下,双方同意不对任何一方的任何索赔或投诉作出任何公开或非保密的声明,除非双方在任何该等声明之前达成一致。
