incorporated herein, and such other duties as may be assigned from time to time
by Employer. Employee shall
make available to Employer all information of which Employee shall have any
knowledge, and shall make all suggestions and recommendations that will be of
benefit to Employer.
4. Best Efforts of Employee. Employee will at all times faithfully,
------------------------
industriously, and to the best of the Employee's ability, perform all of
Employee's duties.
5. Term and Renewal. The initial term of this agreement shall be from July

invest in publicly traded securities, to engage in any business with the written
consent of Employer, or to engage in civic and charitable activities.
8. Benefits. Employee shall be entitled to benefits according to
--------
Employer's stated policy, as amended from time to time. Employee's tenure with

which involves moral turpitude, gross negligence, dishonesty, bad faith or
fraud. Furthermore, this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon Employee's
death or permanent disability (preventing Employee from performing his
responsibilities), but such termination shall not affect any previously vested
right of Employee to receive disability payments in accordance with any
applicable plan for a disability which arises while this Agreement is in effect.
To the extent that any act or omission in the preceding clauses are capable of
being remedied or cured (which determination will be made by Employer at its
sole discretion), then a violation will not be grounds for immediate termination
unless Employer first provides notice to Employee which includes (a) the act or
failure to act of Employee giving rise to the proposed termination, (b) the
corrective action which Employer reasonably believes would cure the violation,
and (c) twenty (20) days from receipt of the notice to take such corrective
action.

pays for any supplies, material, services or technical assistance, or any other
information concerning the finances or business of Employer or any of its
Customers, without regard to whether any of the foregoing matters would
otherwise be considered confidential or trade secrets, the parties agreeing that
these matters are important, material and confidential and gravely affect the
successful conduct of Employer's business and goodwill, and that any breach of
the terms of this Section shall be a material breach of this Agreement and
result in irreparable harm to Employer. Employee further agrees that upon
termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Employee shall
immediately deliver to Employer any and all information, documents, agreements,
data, work product, customer lists, notes, and the like of Employer or relating

consideration of continued employment, the benefits of this Agreement and other
good and valuable consideration, the Employee independently covenants and agrees
with Employer, each of which said covenants shall be independent of and
severable from each other and each of which
shall continue in force for the specified duration irrespective of the

take away or cause to leave any of the Customers of Employer.
(d) Employee will NOT, during the term of Employee's employment, nor
two (2) years immediately following the termination thereof, directly or

take away any of the employees of Employer.
(e) If any of the preceding limitations on the Employee imposed by the
preceding subsection "(a)" through "(d)" exceed the maximum limitation
permissible under the statutes, laws or precedents of any state wherein it is
sought to be enforced against the Employee, then the parties hereto agree that
such limitation may and shall be deemed to be amended to conform to the maximum
limitation permissible under such statutes, laws or precedents, or in the
absence thereof, to such limitations deemed appropriate by any court of record
in the state wherein it is sought to be enforced.
(f) The Employee acknowledges that a violation on Employee's part of
any of the covenants of this Section and its Subsections or Section 10 or 12
will cause such damage to the Employer as will be irreparable and the exact
amount of which will be impossible to ascertain, and for that reason, the
Employee further acknowledges that the Employer shall be entitled, as a matter
of course, to an injunction out of any Court of competent jurisdiction,
restraining any further violation of the covenant by the Employee, and, pending
the hearing and decision on the application for such injunction, the Employer
shall be entitled to a Temporary Restraining Order, and waives any request for a
bond, or the equivalent thereof, without prejudice to any other remedies
available to it. The Employee particularly agrees to the immediate issuance of
such Temporary Restraining Order and hereby waives and requirements of notice or
objection whatsoever to the issuance of such an Order.

leaves the employ of the Employer by Employee's own request or the request of
the Employer, or regardless of how or by what manner the employment relationship
is terminated (including whether with or without cause), or this contract is
terminated or expires, the independent covenants herein contained in this
Section and in Sections 10 and 12 shall survive and remain in full force and
effect as INDEPENDENT
COVENANTS. Should any provision or covenant in this Agreement be breached by
Employer, or be declared void or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the remaining covenants and provisions including those in this
Section 11 and Sections 10 and 12 shall nevertheless remain in full force and
effect, each being independent and severable.
(h) During the term of the noncompetition covenant, Employee shall give
all of Employee's actual and prospective employers written notice of the
requirements of the noncompetition covenant. If Employer believes that Employee
has failed to provide any actual or prospective employer such notice, Employer
may provide such notice, including providing a copy of any or all of this
Agreement.
(i) Employee acknowledges that (i) there was no duress involved in
signing this Agreement; (ii) other employment options were available to Employee
at the time of signing this Agreement; (iii) Employee's covenant not to compete
was a material and necessary inducement to Employer to employ or continue the
employment of Employee; (iv) Employee understands the policy of reasonableness
regarding restrictive covenants and agrees that the restrictions imposed upon
Employee by this Agreement are reasonable in scope and duration and are
necessary to serve a legitimate business interest of Employer; and (v) Employee
has had an opportunity to have this Agreement reviewed by legal counsel of
Employee's choice.
(j) Employee represents and warrants that his employment by Employer
does not and will not breach any agreement or duty which Employee has to any
other Person to keep in confidence any confidential information belonging to
others or not to compete with others. Employee shall not disclose to Employer or
use on its behalf any confidential information belonging to others.

and right to use, or to adapt and develop in any way, any and all Inventions,
whether or not protectable under any applicable law.

Excess Return = 30% - 20% = 10%
Gross Bonus Percentage = 10% / 20% = 50%

Manager Bonus = 40% * $100,000 = $40,000
EXAMPLE Tier 3:
