duties and responsibilities described in Section 2 until employment is terminated. 
 2. Position, Duties, Responsibilities.

the Board, the Employee shall not (i) accept any other employment, (ii) engage, invest or assist, directly or indirectly, in any other business activity (whether or not pursued for pecuniary advantage) that is or may be in conflict with,
or that might place the Employee in a conflicting position to that of the Company or (iii) act as the legal representative or an executive officer of another company (excluding any affiliates of the Company). 

c. Advance Notice of Prospective Employment. Employee agrees that following the termination of his employment, prior to accepting
employment with, or agreeing to perform services for, any entity that competes with the Company, he will notify the Company in writing of Employee’s intentions so as to provide the Company with the opportunity to assess whether Employee’s
employment or retention may potentially violate any provisions of this Agreement.
