For the purpose of this Clause, employment or engagement of the Staff with a firm or company which during such time, in turn, is engaged or seeks to be engaged in a contract with such a Crew for the provision of services similar to those provided or capable of provision by RODEO shall be deemed to be a breach by the Customer of its obligations hereunder if such Staff become(s) or is to become actively engaged directly or indirectly with such Crew.

10.3 The parties agree that the restrictions contained in this Clause 10 are fair and reasonable and necessary for protecting the goodwill of RODEO.
