Employee hereby designates and appoints the Company or its designee as Employee’s agent and attorney-in-fact to execute on Employee’s behalf any assignments or other documents deemed necessary by the Company to perfect, maintain or otherwise protect the Company’s rights in any Company Creations.

          e. Acknowledgments. Employee acknowledges that the Covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests, its relationships with its customers, its trade secrets and other confidential or proprietary information. Employee further acknowledges that the duration and scope of the Covenants are reasonable given the nature of this Agreement and the position Employee holds or will hold within the Company. Employee further acknowledges that the Covenants are included herein to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement and that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement or otherwise employed or continued to employ the Employee in the absence of the Covenants. Finally, Employee also acknowledges that any breach, willful or otherwise, of the Covenants will cause continuing and irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary damages, alone, will not be an adequate remedy.

          f. Enforcement.

               (1) If any court determines that the Covenants, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the

duration or scope of such provision, that court will have the power to modify such provision and, in its modified form, such provision will then be enforceable.

               (2) The parties acknowledge that significant damages will be caused by a breach of any of the Covenants, but that such damages will be difficult to quantify. Therefore, the parties agree that if Employee breaches any of the Covenants, liquidated damages will be paid by Employee in the following manner:

                    (i) any Company stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units or similar equity incentives or other long term incentives then held by Employee, whether or not then vested, will be immediately and automatically forfeited;

                    (ii) any shares of restricted stock issued by the Company, then held by Employee or his permitted transferee and then subject to forfeiture will be immediately and automatically forfeited;

                    (iii) any obligation of the Company to provide severance pay or benefits (whether pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise) will cease; and

               (3) In addition to the remedies specified in Section  3(f)(2) and any other relief awarded by any court, if Employee breaches any of the Covenants:

                    (i) Employee will be required to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by Employee as a result of any such breach; and

                    (ii) the Company will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent further breaches of the Covenants by Employee.

               (4) If Employee breaches Section 3, then the duration of the restriction therein contained will be extended for a period equal to the period that Employee was in breach of such restriction.

     4. Termination. Employee’s employment by the Company may be terminated at any time. Upon termination, Employee will be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid salary through the date of such termination. All salary, commissions and benefits will cease at the time of such termination, subject to the terms of any benefit plans then in force or enforceable under applicable law and applicable to Employee, and the Company will have no further liability or obligation hereunder by reason of such termination; provided, however , that subject to Section 3(f)(2) , if Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Employee for Good Reason, Employee will be entitled to continued payment of his base salary (at the rate in effect upon termination) for a period of 12 months; and notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount will be paid or benefit provided under this Section 4 unless and until (x) Employee executes and delivers a general release of claims against the Company and its subsidiaries in a form prescribed by the Company, and (y) such release becomes irrevocable. Any severance pay or benefits provided under this Section 4 will be in lieu of, not in addition to, any other severance arrangement maintained by the Company. No severance benefits will be paid to Employee in the event that Employee resigns his employment without Good Reason.
