|     | Agreement, (vi) due to the specific nature and limited market for MBR's activities, the definition of Territory as set forth in subsection 1.1(p) hereof is reasonable and justified, (vii) it would be unfair to MBR and MKBY if the Employee were to appropriate for himself or for others the benefits of MBR's and MKBY's many years of developing such business relationships, especially when the Employee enjoys a relationship with clients of MBR and MKBY as a result of his being introduced to the client's personnel as the representative of MBR, (viii) it would be unfair to MBR and MKBY if the Employee were to appropriate for himself or for others the benefits of the business, personnel and other confidential information which MBR and MKBY has developed in the conduct of its business, and (viv) it is therefore fair that reasonable restrictions as set forth below should be placed on certain activities of the Employee after his employment with MBR terminates.
