and their Affiliates and their respective successors are entitled to protect and preserve the going concern value of the Company and its Affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by law and that Parent and Purchaser would not have entered into the Merger Agreement without Executive’s agreement to enter into this Agreement.

I understand that Active Health Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”), has developed and used, and will be developing and using information and know-how, both tangible and intangible, that has or could have commercial value or other utility in the business in which the Company is engaged or contemplates engaging, and the unauthorized disclosure of which could be detrimental to the interests of the Company (collectively, “Confidential Information”).  Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, (i) formulas, research and development techniques, processes, trade secrets, computer programs, software, electronic codes, mask works, inventions, innovations, patents, patent applications, discoveries, improvements, data, know-how, formats, test results, and research projects; (ii) information about costs, profits, markets, sales, contracts and lists of suppliers and customers (whether actual or prospective); (iii) business, marketing, and strategic plans; (iv) forecasts, unpublished financial information, budgets and projections; and (v) employee personnel files and compensation information.  This information was developed and will be developed by Company at great expenses and constitutes trade secrets of Company.  To safeguard its Confidential Information, Company has instituted policies and procedures to protect such information.  In connection with my employment by Company, I will come into contact with Confidential Information.  I understand that the Confidential Information is vital to the success of Company’s business and, in consideration of my employment by Company and the consideration to be paid to me for my services, I state the following:

(c) I shall deliver promptly to Company, upon the termination of my engagement and at any time Company may so request, all software, data, memoranda, notes, records and other documents (and all copies thereof) constituting or relating to such Confidential Information which I may then possess.

2.           All work which I create in connection with my engagement shall be considered to be “works made for hire” under the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 101 et seq.  In the event a work is not construed to be a work made for hire, I assign, and will assign to Company all my rights and interests in any developments, designs, inventions, improvements, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrightable subject matter or proprietary information which I have made or conceived, or may make or conceive, either solely or jointly with others and either on or off Company’s premises, (i) while providing services to Company, (ii) with the use of the time, materials or facilities of Company, (iii) relating to any product, service or activity of Company of which I have knowledge, or (iv) suggested by or resulting from any work performed by me for Company (collectively, the “Developments”).  I agree that I have no proprietary interest in any Developments, including any patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret rights.  Any and all programs, inventions and other

works of authorship developed by me while performing services for Company are created for and owned exclusively by Company.  I agree that I shall sign any papers necessary for patents, copyrights or trademarks to conform to and protect the interest of Company in the Developments and that I shall not register, file or obtain any patent, copyright or trademark covering any of Developments in my own name and I further agree to provide necessary assistance to protect, enforce or perfect Company’s rights and interests in such patents, copyrights and trademarks.
