All share amounts in this Agreement are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions. Executive acknowledges that any shares Executive may receive under this Agreement will be restricted securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be sold unless registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from such registration.

5.       Termination. The Engagement Period will commence as of the date of this Agreement and will continue until the one year anniversary of the date hereof, and will automatically renew for additional one year periods, provided that either party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notice.

6.       Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that the information, observations and data that have been or may be obtained by him during his engagement with the Company, prior to and after the date of this Agreement concerning the business or affairs of the Company (collectively, “Confidential Information”) are and will be the property of the Company. Therefore, Executive agrees that he will not disclose to any unauthorized Person or use for the account of himself or any other Person any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Company (by the action of the Board), unless and to the extent that such Confidential Information has become generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of Executive’s improper acts or omissions to act, or is required to be disclosed by law. Executive will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company at the termination of the Engagement Period, or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) containing or relating to Confidential Information or the business of any Company which he may then possess or have under his control.

7.       Enforcement. The Company and Executive agree that if, at the time of enforcement of Section 6, a court holds that any restriction stated in any such Section is unreasonable under circumstances then existing, then the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. Because Executive’s services are unique and because Executive has access to information of the type described in Section 6, the Company and Executive agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of Section 6. Therefore, in the event of a breach of Section 6, Company may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of Section 6. The provisions of Section 6 are intended to be for the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns, each of which may enforce such provisions and each of which (other than the Company) is an express third-party beneficiary of such provisions and this Agreement generally. Section 6 will survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any termination of the Engagement Period.

8.       Other Representations and Warranties of Executive. Executive represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a)       Other Agreements. Executive is not a party to or bound by any engagement, non-compete, non-solicitation, nondisclosure, confidentiality or similar agreement with any other Person which would materially affect his performance under this Agreement.

(b)       Authorization. This Agreement when executed and delivered shall constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Executive, enforceable against Executive in accordance with its terms.
