Executive shall not, without limitation as to time or place, use any Proprietary Property except on Company business, during or after the Employment Term, nor disclose any Proprietary Property to any other Person, except for disclosure in connection with Company business or as may be required by law.

(b) Definition of Proprietary Information. For the purposes of this Agreement, the capitalized term “Proprietary Information” means any information about the affairs of the Company, including, but not limited to, Confidential Information and all trade secrets, trade “know-how,” inventions, customer lists, client lists, business plans, operational methods, pricing policies, marketing plans, sales plans, identity of suppliers, trading positions, sales, profits or other financial information which is confidential to the Company or is not generally known in the relevant trade, regardless of whether Executive developed such information.

(c) Disclosure of Proprietary Property. During the Restrictive Period and thereafter, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, lecture upon, publish articles concerning, use, disseminate, disclose, sell or offer for sale any Proprietary Property without the Company's prior written permission.

10.	Executive Acknowledgements, Representations and Warranties; Equitable Relief.

(a) In connection with the covenants and agreements contained in sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement,

(i) Executive understands and acknowledges that the restrictions contained in sections 8 and 9 may limit Executive's ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the businesses of the Company, but Executive nevertheless believes that Executive will receive sufficient consideration under this Agreement and as an employee of the Company and as otherwise provided under this Agreement clearly to justify such restrictions which, in any event (given Executive's education, skills and ability), Executive does not believe would prevent Executive from earning a living.

(ii) Executive represents and warrants that:

(A) Executive is familiar with the covenants not to compete as set forth in section 8 of this Agreement;

(B) Executive has had the opportunity to discuss the provisions of the covenants as set forth in sections 8 and 9 with Executive's personal attorney and has concluded that such provisions (including, but not limited to, the right of equitable relief) and the length of the restrictions provided for in sections 8 and 9 are fair, reasonable and just under the circumstances;

(C) Executive is fully aware of the obligations, limitations and liabilities included in the covenants as set forth in sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement;

(D) the scope of activities covered in sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement is substantially similar to those activities to be performed by Executive pursuant to this Agreement;

(E) the duration of covenants as set forth in sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement have been agreed upon as a reasonable restriction, giving consideration to the following factors:

(1) Executive and the Company reasonably anticipate that this Agreement, although terminable in accordance with section 6, may continue in effect for sufficient duration to allow Executive to attain superior bargaining strength and an ability for unfair competition with respect to the customers of the Company and

(2) the duration of the covenants as set forth in sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement is a reasonably necessary period to allow the Company to restore the Company’s position of equivalent bargaining strength and fair competition with respect to such customers;

(F) the geographical territory covered hereby has been agreed upon as a reasonable geographical restriction; and

(G) the Company is relying upon the representations, warranties and covenants of Executive contained in this paragraph 10(a) in entering into this Agreement and, without such representations, warranties and covenants, the Company would not enter into this Agreement.

(b) Enforcement of Covenants.

(i) Executive acknowledges that Executive's breach of any of the covenants contained in section 8 of this Agreement may cause irreparable damage to the Company for which remedies at law would be inadequate. Accordingly, if Executive breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to appropriate injunctive relief, including, but not limited to, preliminary and permanent injunctions, in any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining Executive from taking any action prohibited under sections 8 and 9 of this Agreement. This remedy shall be in addition to all other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity.

(ii) It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, to the extent that a restriction contained in this Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by the laws of any jurisdiction where this Agreement may be subject to review and interpretation, the terms of such restriction, for the purpose only of the operation of such restriction in such jurisdiction, shall be the maximum restriction allowed by the laws of such jurisdiction and such restriction shall be deemed to have been revised accordingly herein.

(iii) To the extent that the restrictive covenants contained in Section 8 of this Agreement conflict, in any way, with the restrictive covenants contained in Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of the Merger Agreement, then the restrictive covenants contained in the Merger Agreement shall control to the extent of such conflict.

11.	Indemnification.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 11(b), and to the fullest extent allowable by law and the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time, the Company shall indemnify and hold Executive free and harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and costs (and all actions in respect thereof and any legal or other expenses in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise), including, but not limited to, the costs of investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim, whether or not in connection with litigation in which Executive is a party, as and when incurred, directly or indirectly caused by, relating to, based upon or arising out of any work performed by Executive in connection with this Agreement to the full extent permitted by Nevada law and the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as such may be amended from time to time.

(c) The indemnification provisions set forth in paragraph 11(a) shall be in addition to any liability or obligation which the Company may otherwise have to Executive.

(d) If either (i) the Company shall be obligated to indemnify Executive pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11, or (ii) a suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding is begun, made or instituted as a result of which the Company may become obligated to Executive pursuant to the provisions of this section 11, then Executive shall give prompt written notice to the Company of the occurrence of such event. The Company shall thereupon defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such suit action, investigation, claim or proceeding at the Company's own cost and expense. Executive shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at Executive's own expense in the defense thereof by counsel of Executive's own choice. In the event that the Company fails timely to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding, Executive shall have the right to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same and may make any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire cost thereof from the Company, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and all amounts paid or payable as a result of such suit, action, investigation, claim, or proceeding or compromise or settlement thereof.

This Agreement may not be amended, modified in any manner or terminated orally; and no amendment, modification, termination or attempted waiver of any of the provisions hereof shall be binding unless in writing and signed by the parties against whom the same is sought to be enforced; provided, however, that Executive's compensation may be increased at any time by the Company without in any way affecting any of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement which in all other respects shall remain in full force and effect.
