Non-Solicitation

During the term of your engagement with the Company, and for a period of one (1) year following its expiration or termination in accordance with these Terms, neither you nor the Company will employ or solicit for employment directly or indirectly, without the other’s prior written consent, any individual employed by the other (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor); provided, that both you and the Company may make general solicitations for employment not specifically targeted at any employee of the other.

If either you or the Company breaches this provision, within thirty (30) calendar days of hiring an employee of the non-breaching party, the breaching party shall pay to the non-breaching party a sum equal to 25% of the hired employee’s annual salary immediately prior to the termination of his or her employment with the non-breaching party.

Inspection Appeals and Response

In the event that a HUD REAC or NSPIRE inspection results in:

  1. an unsatisfactory score requiring appeal,
  2. civil monetary penalties,
  3. forfeiture of HUD subsidies or other funds, or
  4. other non-compliance events

(the events in clauses (i)-(iv), each a “Non-Compliance Event”) with respect to items reviewed and approved by the Company, the Company will prepare an appeal of the Non-Compliance Event free of charge, subject to the limitations set forth in these Terms.

Termination

You may terminate your engagement with the Company at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice of termination from you to the Company. Such termination will be effective upon the Company’s receipt of your termination notice.

The Company may terminate our engagement with you at any time if:

  1. you fail to materially cooperate with Company personnel or follow professional advice from Company personnel,
  2. a conflict of interest arises or is discovered, or
  3. there exists any fact or circumstance that would, in the Company’s sole determination, render the Company’s continued engagement by you unlawful, unethical, or otherwise inappropriate.

In the event the Company elects to terminate its engagement with you, the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to wind down and ensure an orderly transition of any work-in-process. You will be responsible for any fees and costs incurred by the Company in connection with such wind-down and transition services.
