6.7 You and Your Owners Not to Compete on Expiration, Termination or Transfer of Agreement.

• 6.7.1 Post-Termination Non-Compete. This covenant will apply for two years after termination, expiration or transfer of this Agreement. In express consideration for this Agreement, you will assure that you and your owners, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, employees, and agents, and the members of their immediate families or households (who have actual knowledge of or access to the Operations Manual or System), will not directly or indirectly participate as an owner, shareholder, director, partner, officer, employee, consultant, franchisor, franchisee, distributor, advisor or agent, or serve in any other capacity in any business engaged directly or indirectly in the offer, sale, rental, internet dissemination, or promotion of: (1) ramen, (2) other Japanese style cuisine, (3) Vietnamese pho, or (4) any business that offers products or services that are essentially the same as, or substantially similar to, the products and services that are part of the System. This covenant applies within the Franchise Territory, within a 50-mile radius of the Franchise Territory, within a 50-mile radius of any location or franchise territory where we operate or have granted the franchise to operate an Afuri business, and within the United States of America. Certain exceptions may apply if you operate one or more existing restaurants that offer similar food items as provided in the Pre-Existing Business Addendum to this Agreement (Exhibit 4).
• 6.7.2 Your Acknowledgments. You acknowledge and confirm that the time, content and geographical restrictions contained in this Section are fair and reasonable. They are not the result of overreaching, duress, or coercion of any kind by us. You further acknowledge and confirm that your observance of the covenants contained in this Agreement will not cause you any undue hardship, financial or otherwise, and that enforcement of each of the covenants contained in this Agreement will not impair your ability to obtain employment commensurate with your abilities and on terms fully acceptable to you, or otherwise to obtain income required for the comfortable support of your family and the satisfaction of your creditors. Your knowledge of the System would cause our franchise system serious injury and loss if you use the knowledge to the benefit of a competitor or to compete with us or our franchisees.
• 6.7.3 Lawful Scope. If, for any reason, any provision set forth in this Subsection exceeds any lawful scope or limit as to duration, geographic coverage, or otherwise, it is agreed that the provision will nevertheless be binding to the full scope or limit allowed by law or by a court of law. The duration, geographic coverage and scope allowable by law or court of law shall apply to this Agreement.
