The addendum makes certain modifications to the covenant not to compete provision in the Employment Agreement in light of recent developments in Texas law governing non-compete provisions. Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Sook will not be allowed to compete with the Company and its business during his employment with the Company or for a one-year period thereafter.
Finally, the addendum provides that all claims under the Employment Agreement shall be resolved in binding arbitration conducted in Dallas, Texas according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. All other terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement remain unchanged.
The Company has agreed to pay to Mr. Sook an amount equal to $350,000 upon signing of the addendum.
