Employee further acknowledges that Employer has developed unique skills, concepts, sales presentations, marketing programs, marketing strategy, business practices, methods of operation, pricing information, production cost information, trademarks, licenses, technical information, proprietary information, computer software programs, tapes and discs concerning its operations systems, customer lists, customer leads, documents identifying past, present and future customers, customer profile and preference data, hiring and training methods, investment policies, financial and other confidential and proprietary information concerning its operations and expansion plans ("Trade Secrets").

All Trade Secrets, and all memoranda, notes, records, drawings, documents, or other writings whatsoever made, compiled, acquired, or received by Employee at any time during his employment with Employer, including during the term of this Agreement, arising out of, in connection with, or related to any activity or business of Employer, including, but not limited to, the customers, suppliers, or others with whom Employer has a business relationship, the arrangements of Employer with such parties, and the pricing and expansion policies and strategy of Employer, are, and shall continue to be, the sole and exclusive property of Employer and shall, together with all copies thereof, any and all documents constituting or relating to Employer’s proprietary information and Trade Secrets, and all advertising literature, be returned and delivered to Employer by Employee immediately, without demand, upon the termination of this Agreement, or at any time upon Employer's demand.

Covenant Not to Compete. In consideration of the numerous mutual promises contained in the Agreement between Employer and the Employee, including, without limitation, those involving access to Trade Secrets and confidential information and training, and in order to protect Employer’s Trade Secrets and the confidential information and to reduce the likelihood of irreparable damage which would occur in the event such information is provided to or used by a competitor of Employer, Employee agrees that during his employment and for an additional period of twelve (12) months immediately following the earliest to occur of (i) the date of voluntary or involuntary termination of his employment for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the date he is notified of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5(b), or (iii) the date either party provides written notification of its intent not to renew this Agreement pursuant to Section 7. Employee will not, without the prior written consent of Employer (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion), enter the employ of any person or entity, either directly or indirectly either as principal, agent, representative, shareholder (except owning publicly traded stock for investment purposes only in which Employee owns less than 5%) consultant, officer, business partner, associate, Employee or otherwise, with a place of business in the United States of America, which sells or offers to sell services and/or products which compete directly with the services and/or products offered or to be offered for sale by Employer.

c.

Non-Solicitation. Employee agrees that during his employment, and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of his employment for any reason whatsoever, that neither he nor any individual, partner(s), limited partnership, corporation or other entity or business with which he is in any way affiliated, including, without limitation, any partner, limited partner, director, officer, shareholder, Employee, or agent of any such entity or business, will (i) request, induce or attempt to influence, directly or indirectly, any employee of Employer to terminate their employment with Employer or (ii) employ any person who as of the date of this Agreement was, or after such date, is an employee of Employer. Employee further agrees that during the period beginning with the commencement of Employee’s employment with Employer and ending twelve (12) months after the termination of Employee’s employment with Employer for any reason whatsoever, he shall not, directly or indirectly, as an Employee, agent, consultant, stockholder, director, partner or in any other individual or representative capacity of Employer or of any other person, entity or business, solicit or encourage any present or future customer, supplier, contractor, partner or investor of the Employer to terminate or otherwise alter his, her or its relationship with Employer.

d.

Work Product. For purposes of this Paragraph 4, “Work Product” shall mean all intellectual property rights, including all trade secrets, U.S. and international copyrights, patentable inventions, discoveries and other intellectual property rights in any programming, design, documentation, technology, or other work product that is created in connection with Employee’s work. In addition, all rights in any preexisting programming, design, documentation, technology, or other Work Product provided to Employer during Employee’s employment shall automatically become part of the Work Product hereunder, whether or not it arises specifically out of my “Work.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Work” shall mean (1) any direct assignments and required performance by or for the Employer, and (2) any other productive output that relates to the business of the Employer and is produced during the course of Employee’s employment or engagement by Employer. For this purpose, Work may be considered present even after normal working hours, away from Employer’s premises, on an unsupervised basis, alone or with others. Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Board of Directors of Employer, this Agreement shall apply to all Work Product created in connection with all Work conducted before or after the date of this Agreement.

Employee warrants that Employee’s Work for Employer does not and will not in any way conflict with any remaining obligations Employee may have with any prior employer or contractor. Employee also agrees to develop all Work Product in a manner that avoids even the appearance of infringement of any third party’s intellectual property rights.

e.

Survival of Covenants. Each covenant of Employee set forth in this Paragraph 4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against Employer whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Employer of said covenant. No modification or waiver of any covenant contained in Paragraph 4 shall be valid unless such waiver or modification is approved in writing by the Board of Directors of Employer.

f.

Remedies. In the event of breach or threatened breach by Employee of any provision of this Paragraph 4, Employer shall be entitled to relief by temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, or permanent injunction or otherwise, in addition to other legal and equitable relief to which it may be entitled, including any and all monetary damages which Employer may incur as a result of said breach, violation or threatened breach or violation. Employer may pursue any remedy available to it concurrently or consecutively in any order as to any breach, violation, or threatened breach or violation, and the pursuit of one of such remedies at any time will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other of such remedies as to such breach, violation, or threatened breach or violation, or as to any other breach, violation, or threatened breach or violation.

5.

Termination. The employment relationship between Employee and Employer created hereunder shall terminate before the expiration of the stated term of this Agreement upon the occurrence of any one of the following events:

However, if the Employee qualifies for short term disability payments under Employer’s standard short term disability plan during such leave, Employee shall apply to receive such short term disability payments. Employer shall supplement such short term disability payments during the first three (3) months of any such six (6) month period so that Employee receives such monthly amounts when combined with the short term disability payments to equal Employee’s monthly compensation as set forth in paragraph 3(a) of this Agreement. However, during the last three (3) months of any such six (6) month period, Employee shall accept payments under Employer’s standard short term disability plan in lieu of any salary payments set forth in Section 3(a) above. If Employee is incapacitated due to physical or mental illness and such incapacity prevents Employee from satisfactorily performing his duties for the Company on a full time basis for six (6) months or more during a single fiscal year, Employee shall be deemed to have experienced a permanent disability and the Company may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice. In the event that Employer terminates this Agreement on the basis of the Employee’s permanent disability, the Employee shall be entitled to a cash payment equal to the Employee’s annual salary as of the date of termination.
