Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company agrees to employ Executive, and Executive accepts employment and agrees to be employed by Company during the time period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7 below. The obligations of Executive set forth in the Executive Assignment of Inventions and Confidentiality Agreement referred to in Section 6 below shall survive the Scheduled Term and shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment, regardless of the cause of such termination. Executive hereby represents and warrants to Company that Executive is free to enter into and fully perform this Agreement and the agreements referred to herein without breach or violation of any agreement or contract to which Executive is a party or by which Executive is bound.

     2. Duties.

At Company’s option, it will be entitled to reasonable use of Executive’s name in promotional, advertising and other materials used in the ordinary course of its business without additional compensation unless prohibited by law. Executive initially shall report to the offices located in McLean, Virginia; provided that Executive’s duties will include reasonable travel, including but not limited to travel to offices of Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and current and prospective customers as is reasonably necessary and appropriate to the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. Executive will comply with and be bound by Company’s operating policies, procedures, and practices from time to time in effect during Executive’s employment.

     3. Exclusive Service. During the term of employment, Executive will not perform services for any other entity if such service would be in direct conflict with the Company’s business interests. Executive will apply his skill and experience to the performance of his duties and advancing Company’s interests in accordance with Executive’s experience and skills. Accordingly, Executive shall not engage in any outside work, business, consulting activity or render any commercial or professional services, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of himself or any other person or organization, whether for compensation or otherwise, if such services would be in direct conflict with the Company’s business interests, except with the prior written approval of Company and Executive shall otherwise do nothing inconsistent with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder.

     4. Non-Competition and Other Covenants.

          4.1 Non-Competition Agreement. Beginning the Effective Date and continuing for so long thereafter as Executive is employed by Company or a subsidiary or affiliate of Company, and for the later of (i) three years from the Effective Date or (ii) one (1) year period following the termination of Executive’s employment with Company (collectively, the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not, directly or indirectly, individually or as an employee, partner, officer, director or shareholder (except to the extent permitted in Section 3 above) or in any other capacity whatsoever of or for any person, firm, partnership, company or corporation other than Company or its subsidiaries:

               (a) Own, manage, operate, sell, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation, sales or control of or be connected in any manner with any business engaged, in the geographical areas referred to in Section 4.2 below, in the design, research, development, marketing, sale, or licensing of managed data network services that are substantially similar to or competitive with the business of Company and any of its affiliates; or

The Company shall pay Executive the compensation to which he is entitled pursuant to Section 5.1 through the end of the day of such termination.

          7.4 By Company without Cause; By Executive for Good Reason.

          7.8 Survival. Notwithstanding any termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, and unless specifically provided therein, the Executive shall remain bound by the provisions of this Agreement which specifically relate to periods, activities or obligations upon or subsequent to the termination of the Executive’s employment. Further, Company’s obligation to pay severance upon termination of the Executive’s employment without cause shall survive termination of this Agreement.

     8. Miscellaneous.

          8.1 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be found by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then the parties hereby waive such provision to the extent that it is found to be invalid or unenforceable and to the extent that to do so would not deprive one of the parties of the substantial benefit of its bargain. Such provision shall, to the extent allowable by law and the preceding sentence, be modified by such arbitrator or court so that it becomes enforceable and, as modified, shall be enforced as any other provision hereof, all the other provisions continuing in full force and effect.

          8.2 Remedies. Company and Executive acknowledge that the service to be provided by Executive is of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character, which gives it peculiar value the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law.

          8.3 No Waiver. The failure by either party at any time to require performance or compliance by the other of any of its obligations or agreements shall in no way affect the right to require such performance or compliance at any time thereafter. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof shall not be taken or held to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself. No waiver of any kind shall be effective or binding, unless it is in writing and is signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced.

          8.4 Assignment. This Agreement and all rights hereunder are personal to Executive and may not be transferred or assigned by Executive at any time. Company may assign its rights, together with its obligations hereunder, to any subsidiary, affiliate or successor of Company, or in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the business and assets of Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, whether by sale of stock, sale of assets, merger, consolidation or otherwise; provided, that any such assignee assumes Company’s obligations hereunder.

          8.7 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, cancelled, renewed or extended only by an agreement in writing executed by both parties hereto.
