Termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause shall become effective after such finding has been made by the Board and five (5) business days after the Board gives to the Executive notice thereof, specifying in detail the particulars of the conduct of the Executive found by the Board to justify termination for Cause. It shall not constitute Good Reason to the Executive to the extent the Executive is relieved of any duties and responsibilities during the period the Board is considering whether such termination for Cause is justified.

The Executive may terminate his employment with the Company by giving a notice of voluntary termination to the Company, and if such termination is for Good Reason, such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the acts and circumstances claimed by the Executive to constitute Good Reason. Termination of the

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Employee recognizes that the Employee has had and will continue to have access to confidential proprietary information during the course of his or her employment and that the Employee’s subsequent employment by a competitor would inevitably result in the disclosure of that information and, thereby, create unfair competition and would likely to cause substantial loss and harm to the Company. The Employee further acknowledges that employment with the Company is based on the Employee’s agreement to abide by the covenants contained herein.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Further, Employee acknowledges that the Company, in reliance of this Agreement, will provide Employee access to trade secrets, customers, proprietary data and other confidential information. Employee agrees to retain said information as confidential and not to use said information for self or disclose same to any third party, except when required to do so to properly perform duties to the Company. Further, as a condition of employment, during the time Employee is employed by the Company and continuing after any termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee agrees to protect and hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all Confidential Information, as defined below, unless the Employee is required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of a valid and effective order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or a governmental authority. The Employee shall use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of carrying out those duties assigned Employee as an employee of the Company and not for any other purpose. The disclosure of Confidential Information to the Employee shall not be construed as granting to the Employee any

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

license under any copyright, trade secret, or any right of ownership or right to use the Confidential Information whatsoever. In the event that Employee is compelled, pursuant to a subpoena or order of a court or other body having jurisdiction over such matter, to produce any Confidential Information or other information relevant to the Company, Employee agrees to promptly provide the Company with written notice of such subpoena or order so that the Company may timely move to quash if appropriate.

(a) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information related to the Company’s business that is not generally known to the public. Confidential Information shall include, but shall not be limited to: any financial (whether historical, projections or forecasts), pricing, cost, business, planning, operations, services, potential services, products, potential products, technical information, intellectual property, trade secrets and/or know-how, formulas, production, purchasing, marketing, sales, personnel, customer, supplier, or other information of the Company; any papers, data, records, processes, methods, techniques, systems, models, samples, devices, equipment, compilations, invoices, customer lists, or documents of the Company; any confidential information or trade secrets of any third party provided to the Company in confidence or subject to other use or disclosure restrictions or limitations; this Agreement and its terms; and any other information, written, oral or electronic, whether existing now or at some time in the future, whether pertaining to current or future developments or prospects, and whether accessed prior to the Employee’s tenure with the Company or to be accessed during Employee’s future employment or association with the Company, which pertains to the Company’s affairs or interests or with whom or how the Company does business. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Confidential Information shall not include information which is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Employee.

(b) The Employee shall promptly notify the Company if he has reason to believe that the unauthorized use, possession, or disclosure of any Confidential Information has occurred or may occur.

Company and shall be returned, along with any copies or notes that the Employee made thereof or therefrom, to the Company when the Employee ceases employment with the Company. The Employee further agrees to return copies of any Confidential Information contained on Employee’s home computer, portable computer or other similar device. Employee also agrees to allow the Company, upon reasonable belief and with appropriate notice, access to any home computer, portable computer or other similar device maintained by Employee, including but not limited to, for the purpose of determining whether said Confidential Information has been misappropriated. The Employee further agrees to promptly return all other property belonging to the Company upon the termination of Employee’s employment.

2. Side activities. The Employee shall not perform any paid or unpaid activities without prior permission (in writing) of the Company. Nor shall the Employee accept any money or remuneration from third parties in connection with his work for the Company and/or its affiliated companies.

All work products created by the Employee representing the Company, solely or jointly with others, shall be owned entirely by the Company. Any and all such developments shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company, whether patentable, copyrightable, or neither, and the Employee shall assist and fully cooperate in every way, at the Company’s expense, in securing, maintaining, and enforcing, for the benefit of the Company or its designee, patents, copyrights or other types of proprietary or intellectual property protection for such developments in any and all countries.

4. Non-Competition. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company, the Employee hereby covenants and agrees that at no time during the Employee’s employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year immediately following termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall the Employee:

Written request for consent to be released from the Non-Competition provisions of this Agreement may be submitted by the Employee to the Company following the termination of Employee’s employment and must include all available information described in Section 4 below. The Company will respond to the request for such consent within two (2) weeks of the request, except as provided in Section 4. In the Company’s sole discretion, it may release Employee from the Non-Competition provisions of this Agreement, or reduce the non-competition period from a period of one (1) year immediately following Employee’s termination (“Non-Competition Period”) to a shorter duration. In the event the Company does not release the Employee from the Non-Competition provision, for the duration of the Non-Competition period, the Company will pay Employee an amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of Employee’s base salary as of the date of the termination of Employee’s employment, in accordance with the Company’s customary pay practices in effect at the time each payment is made.
