If any question shall arise as to whether during any period Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of Executive’s then-existing position or positions with or without reasonable accommodation, Executive may, and at the request of the Company shall, submit to the Company a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Company to whom Executive or Executive’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether Executive is so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification.

6. Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that the confidential and proprietary information, observations and data, whether in tangible or intangible form (including, without limitation, trade secrets, know-how, research plans, business, accounting, distribution and sales methods and systems, sales and profit figures and margins and other technical or business information, business, marketing and sales plans and strategies, cost and pricing structures, suppliers, customer lists, business relationships, and information concerning acquisition opportunities and targets nationwide in or reasonably related to any business or industry in which the Group, is engaged), disclosed or otherwise revealed to Executive, or discovered or otherwise obtained by Executive or of which Executive becomes aware, directly or indirectly, while employed by the Company (including, in each case, those obtained prior to the date of this Agreement) concerning the business or affairs of the Group (collectively, “Confidential Information”) are the property of the Group, and agrees that the Group has a protectable interest in such Confidential Information. Therefore, Executive agrees that Executive shall not (during Executive’s employment with the Company or at any time thereafter) disclose, furnish or make accessible to any person, or use for Executive’s own or any third party’s purposes, any Confidential Information for any purpose other than to perform Executive’s obligations to the Group without the prior written consent of the Board, unless and to the extent that the aforementioned matters: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of the commitment provided for in this Section 6; (b) is received by the Executive in good faith from a third party who discloses such information to the Executive on a nonconfidential basis and without violating any obligation of secrecy relating to the information disclosed; (c) is independently developed by Executive without reference to any Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by applicable Law, order or regulation of a court or tribunal or government authority of competent authority (provided that Executive shall give prompt advance written notice of such requirement to the Company to enable the Company, at its sole cost and expense, to seek an appropriate protective order or confidential treatment, to the extent such notification is not prohibited by applicable law). Executive shall deliver to the Company or Parent at the termination of the Employment Term, or at any other time the Company or Parent may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer tapes, printouts and software and other documents and data (and copies thereof) which constitute Confidential Information or Work Product (as defined below) which Executive may then possess or have under Executive’s control. Executive acknowledges that upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, the Company may deem it advisable to, and shall be entitled to, serve notice on Executive’s new employer that Executive has been exposed to certain Confidential Information and that Executive has continuing obligations under the terms of this Agreement not to disclose such information. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the termination or expiration of the Employment Term and Executive’s employment, irrespective of the reason therefor, for a period of two (2) years or such longer period permitted by applicable law.

Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Accordingly, Executive has the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. Executive also has the right to disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).

7. Outside Engagement. The Executive shall not engage in any conversations, discussions or negotiations with any person aiming at discussing with such person any potential transaction involving the Group that ultimately leads to a change in control of, or a relevant merger involving, the Company or the Parent, unless otherwised authorized by the CEO or the Board.

8. Non-Solicitation.

Without limiting the above, the Company acknowledges that certain Customer may be reliant on the permanence of the Executive in the Company as a reason to remain as a Customer, and that the mere termination of the Executive’s employment may impact the relationship of the Customer with the Group.

9. Work Product.

(a) The Executive will produce data, drawings and reports and other documents and materials to the Group, whether in hard copy or in electronic format (the “Work Products”). All Intellectual Property Rights in the Work Products produced by the Executive to the Group and any other item or document made available to the Exective by the Group, shall vest and shall remain the property of the Group, excluding any such Intellectual Property Rights that are owned by the Executive or RTEK as at the Effective Date (together the “Group Intellectual Property”).
