provisions and covenants contained in this Section 5 are ancillary and material
to this Agreement and the Option Agreement and that the limitations contained
herein are reasonable in geographic and temporal scope and do not impose a
greater restriction or restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and
other legitimate business interests of the Company. The parties also acknowledge
and agree that the provisions of this Section 5 do not adversely affect the
Executive's ability to earn a living in any capacity that does not violate the
covenants contained herein. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the

compelling interest in having its employees treated uniformly within the United

names of users or purchasers of their respective products or services, business
methods, operating procedures or programs or methods of promotion and sale) that

representative, officer or director of the Cardinal Group. Further, during the

accept on behalf of any competitor of the Cardinal Group the business of (i) any
customer of the Cardinal Group at the time of the Executive's employment or Date
of Termination, or (ii) potential customer of the Cardinal Group which the

disparage or defame the goodwill or reputation of the Cardinal Group or any of
its trustees, officers, security holders, partners, agents or former or current
employees and directors, or (B) are intended to, or may be reasonably expected
to, adversely affect the morale of the employees of the Cardinal Group. The
Executive further agrees not to make any negative statements to third parties
relating to the Executive's employment or any aspect of the businesses of the
Cardinal Group and not to make any statements to third parties about the
circumstances of the termination of the Executive's employment, or about the
Cardinal Group or its trustees, officers, security holders, partners, agents or

or governmental body.
(ii) The Executive further agrees that, following termination

Company, including but not limited to any litigation that may be
pending or arise after such termination of employment. Further, the
Executive agrees to notify the Company at the earliest opportunity of
any contact that is made by any third parties concerning any such
matter or project. The Company shall not unreasonably request such
cooperation of Executive and shall compensate the Executive for any
lost wages or expenses associated with such cooperation and assistance.
(g) INVENTIONS. All plans, discoveries and improvements, whether
patentable or unpatentable, made or devised by the Executive, whether alone or
jointly with others, from the date of the Executive's initial employment by the
Company and continuing until the end of the Employment Period and any subsequent
period when the Executive is employed by the Cardinal Group, relating or
pertaining in any way to the Executive's employment with or the business of the
Cardinal Group, shall be promptly disclosed in writing to the Chief Executive
Officer and are hereby transferred to and shall redound to the benefit of the
Company, and shall become and remain its sole and exclusive property. The
Executive agrees to execute any assignments to the Company or its nominee, of
the Executive's entire right, title and interest in and to any such discoveries
and improvements and to execute any other instruments and documents requisite or
desirable in applying for and obtaining patents, trademarks or copyrights, at
the
- 5 -
expense of the Company, with respect thereto in the United States and in all
foreign countries, that may be required by the Company. The Executive further
agrees, during and after the Employment Period, to cooperate to the extent and
in the manner required by the Company, in the prosecution or defense of any
patent or copyright claims or any litigation, or other proceeding involving any
trade secret, processes, discoveries or improvements covered by this Agreement,
but all necessary expenses thereof shall be paid by the Company.
(h) ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ENFORCEMENT. (i) The Executive acknowledges and
agrees that: (A) the purpose of the foregoing covenants, including without
limitation the non-competition covenants of Sections 5(e) and (f), is to protect
the goodwill, trade secrets and other Confidential Information of the Company;
(B) because of the nature of the business in which the Cardinal Group is engaged
and because of the nature of the Confidential Information to which the Executive
has access, the Company would suffer irreparable harm and it would be
impractical and excessively difficult to determine the actual damages of the
Cardinal Group in the event the Executive breached any of the covenants of this
Section 5; and (C) remedies at law (such as monetary damages) for any breach of
the Executive's obligations under this Section 5 would be inadequate. The
Executive therefore agrees and consents that if the Executive commits any breach
of a covenant under this Section 5 or threatens to commit any such breach, the
Company shall have the right (in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other
right or remedy that may be available to it) to temporary and permanent
injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, without posting any
bond or other security and without the necessity of proof of actual damage.
(ii) In addition, in the event of a violation of this Section
5, the Company shall have the right to require the Executive to pay to
the Company all or any portion of the Clawback Amount (as defined
below) within 30 days following written notice by the Company to the
Executive (the "Company Notice") that it is imposing such requirement.
The "Clawback Amount" means an amount equal to the gross option gain
realized or obtained by the Executive or any transferee resulting from
the exercise of any stock options granted to the Executive by the
Cardinal Group within three years before a violation of Section 5(b),
5(c), 5(h) or 5(i) or within one year before a violation of Section 5
(d) or 5(e), measured at the date of exercise (i.e., the difference
between the fair market value of the purchased stock on the date of
exercise and the exercise price paid by the Executive therefore).
In addition to the foregoing, in the event of a violation of this Section 5, all
outstanding stock options granted to the Executive by the Cardinal Group (or any
part thereof) that have not been exercised shall immediately and automatically
terminate, be forfeited, and cease to be exercisable at any time.
(iii) With respect to any provision of this Section 5 finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable,
the Executive and the Company hereby agree that such court shall have
jurisdiction to reform this Agreement or any provision hereof so that
it is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the
parties agree to abide by such court's determination. If any of the
covenants of this Section 5 are determined to be wholly or partially
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such determination shall not be a
bar to or in any way diminish the Company's right to enforce any such
covenant in any other jurisdiction.
6. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent
or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any plan,
program, policy or practice provided by the Cardinal Group for which the
Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 9 below, shall anything in this
Agreement limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under
any contract or agreement with the Cardinal Group. Vested benefits and other
amounts that the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan,
policy, practice or program of, or any contract or agreement with, the Cardinal
Group on or after the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with
such plan, policy, practice, program,
- 6 -
contract or agreement, as the case may be, except as explicitly modified by this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive waives all of the
Executive's rights to receive severance payments and benefits under any
severance plan, policy or practice of the Cardinal Group or any entity merged
with or into the Cardinal Group (or any part thereof) except to the extent
provided for in this Agreement.
7. NO MITIGATION. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek
other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts
payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such
amounts shall not be reduced, regardless of whether the Executive obtains other
employment.
8. NOTICES. (a) METHODS. Each notice, demand, request, consent, report,
approval or communication (hereinafter, "Notice") which is or may be required to
be given by any party to any other party in connection with this Agreement,

the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements with respect thereto.
