Heading: employment termination agreement revised

Text: During her representation of Radiology Services, Hall reviewed and revised Radiology Services' employment termination agreement. In 1997, at Radiology Services' request, she drafted the Employment Termination Agreement Revised  (ETAR). Paragraph 1.4(c) provided: An EMPLOYEE electing to receive benefits or compensation under this Agreement agrees to refrain for a period of one year following the date of termination from working for or soliciting work from the CORPORATION's then existing hospital clients or accounts with whom the EMPLOYEE actually did business or had personal contact. The original agreement specified that employees must be employed by the corporation for 10 years before being eligible for deferred compensation pursuant to the agreement. When the ETAR was drafted, Dr. Warren Orr, the founder of the corporation in the late 1970's, was automatically eligible for deferred compensation benefits, and Rounsborg had already been an employee for more than 10 years and would have been eligible under the original agreement. The ETAR provided that he was eligible for benefits as of April 1, 1989. The ETAR also specified that Dr. Kan Wu, who became an employee in 1992, would be eligible as of August 1, 2002. Drs. Tamara Hlavaty, Sam Liu, and David Hatch all became full-time Radiology Services employees in 1998 or later.
