Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this 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 herein.

Upon termination of Consultant’s engagement with the Company for any reason, Consultant shall cease and not thereafter commence use of any Confidential Information owned or used by the Company, and upon notification from the Company shall destroy, delete, or return to the Company, at the Company’s option, all originals and copies in any form or medium (including memoranda, books, papers, plans, computer files, letters and other data) in Consultant’s possession or control (including any of the foregoing stored or located in Consultant’s office, home, laptop or other computer, whether or not Company property) that contain Confidential Information or is otherwise the property of the Company, except that Consultant may retain only those portions of any personal notes, notebooks and diaries that do not contain any Confidential Information.

The provisions of this Paragraph 10 shall survive the termination of Consultant’s engagement with the Company for any reason.

11.

Intellectual Property.

If Consultant creates, invents, designs, develops, contributes to or improves any United States or foreign works of authorship, design, program, software, source code, inventions, materials, documents, inventions, trade secrets, processes, patent applications, patents, know-how, copyrightable subject matter, and/or other intellectual property or work product of any kind (including without limitation, research, reports, software, databases, systems, applications, presentations, textual works, content, or audiovisual materials), either alone or with third parties, at any time during the Term and within the scope of Consultant’s engagement and/or with the use of any the Company resources (“Company Works”), Consultant shall promptly and fully disclose same to the Company, hereby irrevocably relinquishes for the benefit of the Company and its assigns any rights Consultant may have to the Company Works, and hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys, to the maximum extent permitted by

The provisions of this Paragraph 11 shall survive the termination of Consultant’s engagement for any reason.

12.

Specific Performance. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Paragraphs 8, 9, 10 or 11 would be inadequate and the Company would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach. In recognition of this fact, Consultant agrees that, in the event of such a breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, and without the necessity of proof of actual damages, shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief restraining any threatened or further breach, or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

13.

Indemnification.

The Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Consultant to the fullest extent of the law from and against any and all loss, liability, damage or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, defense or negotiation of a settlement thereof or otherwise) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from any claim or threatened claim by any third party with respect to, or in any way related to, the Company, this Agreement or Consultant’s services hereunder (collectively “Claim”). Consultant shall give the Company prompt notice of any such Claim known to him, and the Company, in its sole discretion, then may take such action as it deems advisable to defend the Claim on behalf of the Consultant. (The failure by Consultant to give such a prompt notice shall not affect the right to indemnification except to the extent the Company is materially prejudiced thereby.) The Company shall have the sole and exclusive right to use counsel of its own choosing, shall control the defense of any such Claim in all respects, and shall have the sole and exclusive right to negotiate and settle any such Claim on behalf of Consultant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant shall have the right to employ his own legal counsel in defense of any Claim, with the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Company, provided that the Company determines that there exists a conflict of interest by reason of having common counsel in any such Claim. Consultant shall cooperate fully with the Company and its counsel in all respects in connection with the defense of any Claim and in any attempt made to settle the matter. Such indemnification shall be deemed to apply solely to (a) the amount of the judgment, if any, against Consultant, (b) any sums paid by Consultant in settlement, and (c) the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by

Consultant in connection with its defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Consultant shall not be entitled to indemnification for Losses under this Paragraph 13 for any claim or allegation made by the Company against Consultant arising out of Consultant’s breach of this Agreement; or if it is adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction that any Losses were the direct result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct by Consultant and, if so proven, Consultant shall reimburse the Company for the costs of defense incurred by the Company.

Notwithstanding anything elsewhere to the contrary, this Paragraph 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive any termination of Consultant’s engagement.

14.

No Mitigation; No Set Off.

In the event of any termination of engagement hereunder, Consultant shall be under no obligation to seek other engagement and there shall be no offset against any amounts due Consultant under this Agreement on account of any remuneration attributable to any subsequent engagement that Consultant may obtain.

15.

Arbitration. Any dispute between the parties arising out of this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute regarding any aspect of this Agreement, its formation, validity, interpretation, effect, performance or breach, or the Consultant’s engagement (“Arbitrable Dispute”) shall be submitted to arbitration in the City of New York, pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, before a single experienced engagement arbitrator who is either licensed to practice law in New York, or is a retired judge. The arbitrator in any Arbitrable Dispute shall not have authority to modify or change this Agreement in any respect. The Company shall be responsible for payment of the amount of the fees of the American Arbitration Association and the arbitrator. In the event the arbitrator specifically finds that any claim or defense of either party is unreasonable, he may in his discretion direct that reasonable legal fees of the prevailing party be paid by the non-prevailing party. The arbitrator’s decision and/or award will be fully enforceable and subject to entry of judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 15, the Company may, at its sole discretion seek appropriate injunctive relief for Consultant’s breach of Paragraphs 8. 9, 10 or 11 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and New York Counties and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Consultant hereby consents to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts for all such controversies.
