7.             Definitions.

7.1           Definitions. For purposes of Employee’s Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

7.1.1 “Termination for Cause” shall mean termination by the Company of Employee’s employment by the Company by reason of Employee’s conviction of any felony crime, Employee’s dishonesty towards, fraud upon or injury or attempted injury to the Company or its clients, Employee’s breach of Employee’s Agreement, or any reason that constitutes “cause” under applicable law.

7.1.2 “Termination Other Than for Cause” shall mean termination by the Company of Employee’s employment by the Company other than a Termination for Cause, Termination for Disability, or for any or no reason.

7.1.3 “Voluntary Termination” shall mean termination by Employee of Employee’s employment with the Company, but shall not include constructive termination by the Company by reason of material breach of Employee’s Agreement by the Company.

8.             Remedies.

8.1           Liquidated Damages.

8.1.1 If Employee violates Subsection 5.1, Employee shall pay to the Company as liquidated damages, the greater of Company’s gross billings to the client to which products or services are supplied in violation of Subsection 5.1 during the year immediately prior to the first improper solicitation or $25,000, to compensate the Company for its lost revenue, client development expenses and other damages.

8.1.2 If Employee violates Subsection 5.2, Employee shall pay to the Company as liquidated damages, in compensation for its recruitment and training costs, lost revenues and other damages the greater of $25,000 ($50,000 if an officer of the Company) or the actual identifiable damages of the Company for each employee or independent contractor hired or engaged in violation of Subsection 5.2.

8.1.3 Employee and the Company have carefully considered the issue of liquidated damages and after negotiation agree that they are a reasonable compromise after attempting to estimate what the actual damages would be and assessing the risk of collection.

8.1.4 Employee authorizes the Company to disclose the terms of Sections 5, 6 and 8 of Employee’s Agreement to any subsequent employer or client of Employee.

8.2 Equitable Remedies. The service rendered by Employee to the Company and the information disclosed to Employee during Employee’s employment are of a unique and special character, and any breach of Sections 5 or 6 hereof will cause the Company irreparable injury and damage which will be extremely difficult to quantify. Although the parties have agreed on liquidated damages for some of the potential breaches by Employee, they agree that because of the risk of collection and intangibles which are impossible to measure, the Company will be entitled to, in addition to all other remedies available to it, injunctive relief to prevent a breach and to secure the enforcement of all provisions of Sections 5 and 6. Employee represents Employee’s experience and knowledge will enable Employee to earn an adequate living in a noncompetitive business and that the injunctive relief will not prevent Employee from providing for Employee and Employee’s family.

8.3 Costs. If litigation is brought to enforce or interpret any provision contained herein, the court shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the prevailing party as determined by the court.

8.4 Severability. THE PARTIES HAVE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED ALL OF SECTIONS 5, 6 AND 8 AND AGREE THAT THEY REPRESENT A PROPER BALANCING OF THEIR INTERESTS. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the obligations of, and restrictions on, the parties as provided in Sections 5 and 6 shall be enforced and given effect to the fullest extent legally permissible. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce one or more of the covenants or agreements contained in Employee’s Agreement because the duration thereof is too long, the scope thereof is too broad or some other reason, for the purpose of such proceeding, the court may reduce such duration or scope to the extent necessary to permit the enforcement of such obligations and restrictions.

9.             Miscellaneous.

9.1 Payment Obligations. The Company’s obligation to pay Employee the compensation provided herein is subject to the condition precedent that Employee performs Employee’s obligations.

9.2 Waiver. The waiver of the breach of any provision of Employee’s Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or other provision hereof.

9.3 Entire Agreement; Modifications. Employee’s Agreement represents the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and Employee’s Agreement supersedes any and all prior understandings, agreements, plans and negotiations, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, any understandings, agreements or obligations respecting any past or future compensation, bonuses, reimbursements or other payments to Employee from the Company. All modifications to Employee’s Agreement must be in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification is sought.
