Information, Executive agrees that:
(i) Executive shall hold in confidence the Trade Secrets of the
Company. Except in the performance of services for the Company,

secrets" under applicable law, use,
7
disclose, reproduce, distribute, transmit, reverse engineer,
decompile, disassemble, or transfer the Trade Secrets of the Company
or any portion thereof.

extent of the restrictions upon him and the rights and remedies conferred on the
Company under this Agreement, and Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) the restrictions and covenants contained herein, and the rights
and remedies conferred upon the Company, are necessary to protect the
goodwill and other value of the business of the Company;

reasonable, will not prevent him from earning a livelihood, and place no

business and goodwill of the Company;

contained herein in continuing to make available to Executive information
concerning the business of the Company;

noncompetitive areas which do not endanger the Company's legitimate
interests expressed in this Agreement.
4.4 Remedy for Breach. Executive acknowledges and agrees that his breach of
any of the covenants contained in this Article 4 of this Agreement will cause
irreparable injury to the Company and that remedies at law available to the

be inadequate and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of
the covenants in this Article 4 or injunctive relief against activities in
violation of this Article 4 by temporary or permanent injunction or other
appropriate judicial remedy, writ or order, without the necessity of proving
actual damages. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not
diminish the right of the Company to claim and recover monetary damages against
Executive for any breach of this Agreement, in addition to injunctive relief.
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in this Article 4
shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision of this or
any other contract between the parties hereto, and that the existence of any
claim or cause of action by Executive against the Company, whether predicated
upon this or any other contract, shall not constitute a defense to the
enforcement by the Company of said covenants.
4.5 No Conflicting Obligations. Executive represents and warrants to the
Company that his is not now under any obligation of a contractual or other
nature to any person or entity which is inconsistent or in conflict with this
Agreement, or which would prevent, limit or impair in any way the performance by

9
hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest whatsoever in and to

consideration therefor, such patent applications (including continuations and
related materials), confirmatory assignments, instruments and documents as the
Company deems necessary or desirable in order to effect such assignment and to
protect and enforce such rights. The term "Employee Works" as used in this
Agreement means any and all works of authorship, inventions, discoveries,
improvements, designs, techniques, and work product, whether or not patentable,
and in whatever form, which are created, made, developed or reduced to practice,
or caused to be created, made, developed or reduced to practice by Executive
during the period of time that Executive is employed by the Company, that relate
in any way to the current or future business of the Company or its Affiliates,
and that result from any work performed by Executive for the Company or its

assignment of Employee Works shall survive termination of Executive's employment
with the Company.

11
duties on a full or part time basis, provided that nay benefits such as
health insurance normally provided in whole or in part by Employer shall
continue to be provided by the Employer for a period of up to six months of
temporary disability. In the event that Executive is not able to perform
his duties on a full time basis for a consecutive period of six months from
the date of the temporary disability then this Agreement shall
automatically terminate and the Company shall pay to Executive his Base
Salary through the Termination Date to the extent not theretofore paid,

Termination Date; and
(c) Any unpaid bonus payment due Executive for any fiscal year ending

the Termination Date to the extent not theretofore paid, which salary shall
be paid in a lump sum within 30 days after the Termination Date; and (ii)

with the Company in transitioning his duties to any successor appointed by the
Company and to provide the Company with information about the ongoing business
activities of the Company. In the event that the Company requests
