In consideration of this non-compete obligation, the employee will receive a monthly compensation of an amount equal to 2/3 of his gross monthly salary, calculated on the basis of his compensation, as defined in Article 6.1 of this Agreement, received during the 12 months preceding the notification of termination. 
In case of violation of this clause, the Employee shall pay the Company a sum fixed by mutual agreement at one year's gross salary calculated on the basis of his compensation (defined in Articles 6.1 and 6.2 of this agreement) received during the 12 months preceding the notification of termination. The Company will be released from its commitment to pay financial compensation. 

The payment of this indemnity by the Employee shall not deprive the company of its right to sue for compensation for loss actually suffered and to order under penalty the cessation of competitive activity and the repayment of amounts paid by the Company to the Employee under this non-compete clause. 

In accordance with the provisions of the Collective Agreement, the Company may unilaterally remove the non-compete clause during the performance of the employment agreement, it being specified that, under the terms of the Collective Agreement, the deletion will take effect only if the Employee is not laid off within one year after the notification of the deletion.
