b. The Executive hereby agrees and covenants, in addition to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, that he shall not, directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever, including, without limitation, as an employee, employer, consultant, member, principal, partner, shareholder, officer, director, agent, holder of financial

interest, or any other individual or representative capacity, in any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, association, trust, joint venture, unincorporated association or government entity (“Person”), whether on the Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any Person or entity or otherwise howsoever (other than as a holder of not more than one percent (1%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding stock of a publicly held company), during the Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year following after the termination or cessation of this Agreement and of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, directly or indirectly engage in, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, consult for, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any business in competition with the “business of the Company or its affiliates or their successors. The “business of the Company or its affiliates or their successors” is defined as the business of plasma fractionation or manufacturing, selling, researching, distributing, marketing or otherwise conducting business in any way relating to the development, manufacture, sale or distribution of plasma derivative products, including, without limitation, biological surgical or fibrin adhesives or their recombinant or monoclonal antibody analogs, whether the Company is actually engaged in such business activities or has taken action to begin engaging in such business activities, even if any related services or products are not completed or ready for marketing or distribution, at the time that this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates.

c. The Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the business of the Company, and agrees that the covenants set forth herein, including the Confidentiality Agreement, are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s interests. It is expressly understood and agreed that although Executive and the Company consider such restrictions to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained herein and in the Confidentiality Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained therein.

8. Specific Performance. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 7 would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to cease making any payments or providing any benefit otherwise required by this Agreement and obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

d. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement and/or the Confidentiality Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and/or the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
