Subject to § 5.9 below, Executive shall comply with all applicable terms and conditions of the PICA throughout the Term hereof, and hereby agrees to execute and comply with any amendments to or updated versions of the PICA that Forge may require of its officers and employees from time to time. Future amendments or updated versions will be automatically incorporated into this Employment Agreement upon execution thereof and will revise or replace the previous PICA, each such amended or new version of the PICA subject to § 5.9 below, and all references to “PICA” in this Employment Agreement will be interpreted as referring to the then-current version of the PICA executed by the Executive; provided, however, references to “PICA” in § 4.2(c)(4) shall refer to the PICA in effect on the date hereof or any subsequent form of the PICA which Executive explicitly agrees to incorporate into § 4.2(c)(4). Capitalized terms used in this § 5 but not defined in this Employment Agreement will have the meaning provided in the PICA. If there is a conflict between this § 5 and the PICA, this § 5 will control but only with respect to the conflicting provisions and to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.

• Acknowledgments by the Employee The Employee acknowledges that (a) during the Employment Period and as a part of his employment, the Employee will be afforded access to Confidential Information; (b) public disclosure of such Confidential Information could have an adverse effect on the Employer and its business; (c) since the Employee possesses substantial expertise and skill with respect to the Employer's business, the Employer desires to obtain exclusive ownership of each Employee Invention, and the Employer will be at a substantial competitive disadvantage if it fails to acquire exclusive ownership of each Employee Invention; (d) the Compensation provided to Employee hereunder constitutes good and sufficient consideration for the Employee's agreements and covenants in this Section 7; and (e) the provisions of this Section 7 are reasonable and necessary to prevent the improper use or disclosure of Confidential Information and to provide the Employer with exclusive ownership of all Employee Inventions.

• Indemnification by the Shareholder Each Shareholder will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in subdivision (a) of this Section 6) the Company, each director and officer of the Company, and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact from such Registration Statement, any Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Shareholder for use in the preparation of such Registration Statement or amendment thereto or Prospectus or supplement thereto; provided, however, that the Shareholder shall not be liable to the extent that the losses, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon (i) the use by the Company of any Prospectus after such time as the obligation of the Company to keep the same effective and current has expired or (ii) the use by the Company of any Prospectus after such time as the Shareholder has advised the Company in writing that the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus is required with respect to any information contained in such Registration Statement or Prospectus concerning the Shareholder, except such Registration Statement as so amended or such Prospectus as so supplemented. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, or any such director, officer, or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by the Shareholder. In no event shall the liability of any Shareholder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Shareholder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
