3. Exclusivity; Limitation of Activities within SJCCD Taxing District / Service Area

3.1. Vendor acknowledges that the College’s CDL training program is operated as a College-branded educational offering and that the College has a legitimate educational and business interest in maintaining its reputation, program integrity, and enrollment base. Accordingly and in consideration of being awarded an agreement pursuant to this RFP and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by Vendor, during the term of the agreement and for a period of two (2) years following the agreement’s expiration or termination (unless agreed to otherwise in writing by the College), the Vendor (1) agrees to provide CDL training services within the SJCCD Taxing District / Service Area solely and exclusively to SJCCD students and

(2) shall not:

3.1.1. Establish or operate a CDL training program that markets itself to, enrolls, or provides instruction to students within the SJCCD Taxing District / Service Area, including the geographic boundaries of the Channelview ISD, Deer Park ISD, Galena Park ISD, La Porte ISD, Pasadena ISD, Sheldon ISD, and the portion of Clear Creek ISD that is located in Harris County (collectively, the “SJCCD Taxing District / Service Area”);

3.1.2. Market, advertise, or solicit students within the SJCCD Taxing District / Service Area for any CDL training program that is not operated under the College’s name or through an approved College partnership; or

3.1.4. Directly or indirectly aid another college or university within the Greater Houston geographical area in any of the above-listed activities without expressed consent by SJCCD.

3.2. This paragraph is not intended to restrict the Vendor’s lawful ability to provide CDL training services elsewhere in the state of Texas or to students or entities outside of the

RFP 26-08 Commercial Driver’s License Training Services 4

SJCCD Taxing District / Service Area. The intent of this provision is to ensure exclusivity within the College’s service area (the SJCCD Taxing District / Service Area) and to prevent actions that would harm the College’s program and/or divert prospective students. SJCCD shall be notified that such discussions are underway in order to understand expected impact. Vendor understands and acknowledges that the College has made substantial investments to develop its reputation, program integrity, and enrollment base. Vendor agrees that the limitations as to time, geographical area, and scope of activity to be restrained contained in the above paragraph are reasonable and are not greater than necessary to protect the reputation, program integrity, enrollment base, and other interests of the College. Vendor further agrees that such investments are worthy of protection and that the College’s need for the protection afforded by this paragraph is greater than any hardship Vendor may experience by complying with its terms. Vendor acknowledges that Vendor’s violation or attempted violation of the agreements in this paragraph will cause irreparable damage to the College, and Vendor therefore agrees that the College shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction, issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any violation or further violation of such agreements by Vendor or others acting on Vendor’s behalf. The College’s right to injunctive relief shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies provided by law or equity. Although the parties understand and believe that the limitations as to time, geographical area, and scope of activity contained in the paragraph above are reasonable and do not impose a greater restraint than necessary to protect the reputation, program integrity, enrollment base, and/or other interests of the College, if it is judicially determined not to be the case, the limitations shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make them reasonable and not to impose a restraint that is greater than necessary to protect the reputation, program integrity, enrollment base, and/or other business interest of the College.
