5. Employee Covenants.

Trade Secrets and Proprietary Information. The Executive agrees and understands that due to the Executive's position with the Company, the Executive will be exposed to, and has received and will receive, confidential and proprietary information of the Company or relating to the Company's business or affairs collectively, the “Trade Secrets”), including but not limited to technical information, product information and formulae, processes, business and marketing plans, strategies, customer information, other information concerning the Company's services or products, promotions, development, financing, expansion plans, business policies and practices and other forms of information considered by the Company to be proprietary and confidential and in the nature of trade secrets. Trade Secrets shall not include any such information which (A) was known to the Executive prior to his employment by the Company or (B) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Executive in violation of the provisions of this Section. Except to the extent that the proper performance of the Executive's duties, services and responsibilities hereunder may require disclosure, the Executive agrees that during the Employment Term and at all times thereafter the Executive will keep such Trade Secrets confidential and will not disclose such information, either directly or indirectly, to any third person or entity without the prior written consent of the Company. This confidentiality covenant has no temporal, geographical or territorial restriction. On the Termination Date unless the Executive remains as an employee of the Company thereafter (in which case, on the date which the Executive is no longer an employee of the Company), the Executive will promptly supply to the Company all property, keys, notes, memoranda, writings, lists, files, reports, customer lists, correspondence, tapes, disks, cards, surveys, maps, logs, machines, technical data, formulae or any other tangible product or document which has been produced by, received by or otherwise submitted to and retained by the Executive in the course of his employment with the Company. Any material breach of the terms of this Paragraph shall be considered Cause.

Prohibited and Competitive Activities. The Executive and the Company recognize that due to the nature of the Executive's engagement hereunder and the relationship of the Executive to the Company, the Executive has had and will have access to, has had and will acquire, and has assisted and may continue to assist in, developing confidential and proprietary information relating to the business and operations of the Company and its affiliates, including, without limitation, Trade Secrets. The Executive acknowledges that such information has been and will be of central importance to the business of the Company and its affiliates and that disclosure of it to, or its use by, others (including, without limitation, the Executive (other than with respect to the Company's business and affairs)) could cause substantial loss to the Company.

The Executive and the Company also recognize that an important part of the Executive's duties will be to develop good will for the Company and its affiliates through the Executive's personal contact with Clients (as defined below), employees, and others having business relationships with the Company, and that there is a danger that this good will, a proprietary asset of the Company, may follow the Executive if and when the Executive's relationship with the Company is terminated. The Executive accordingly agrees as follows:

(i) Prohibited Activities. The Executive agrees that the Executive will not at any time during the Employment Term: (A) (other than in the course of the Executive's employment) disclose or furnish to any other person or, directly or indirectly, use for the Executive's own account or the account of any other person, any Trade Secrets, no matter from where or in what manner he may have acquired such Trade Secrets, and the Executive shall retain all such Trade Secrets in trust for the benefit of the Company, its affiliates and the successors and assigns of any of them, (B) directly or through one or more intermediaries, solicit for employment or recommend to any subsequent employer of the Executive the solicitation for employment of, any person who, at the time of such solicitation, is employed by the Company or any affiliate, (C) directly or indirectly, whether for the Executive's own account or for the account of any other person, solicit, divert, or endeavor to entice away from the Company or any entity controlled by the Company, or otherwise engage in any activity intended to terminate, disrupt, or interfere with, the Company's or any of its affiliates’ relationships with, Clients, or otherwise adversely affect the Company's or any of its affiliates' relationships with Clients or other business relationships of the Company or any affiliate thereof, or (D) publish or make any statement critical of the Company or any shareholder or affiliate of the Company or in any way adversely affect or otherwise malign the business or reputation of any of the foregoing persons (any activity described in clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) of this Section being referred to as a Prohibited Activity”); provided, however, that if in the written opinion of Counsel, the Executive is legally compelled to disclose Trade Secrets to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other similar censure or penalty, then the disclosure to such tribunal of only those Trade Secrets which such counsel advises in writing are legally required to be disclosed shall not constitute a Prohibited Activity provided that the Executive shall give the Company as much advance notice of such disclosure as is reasonably practicable. As used herein, the term “Clients” shall mean those persons who, at any time during the Executive's course of employment with the Company (including, without limitation, prior to the date of this Agreement) are or were clients or customers of the Company or any affiliate thereof or any predecessor of any of the foregoing.

(ii) Non-Competition. By and in consideration of the Company's entering into this Agreement, the Executive agrees that the Executive will not, during the Employment Term and for a period of eighteen months thereafter, engage in any Competitive Activity. The term “Competitive Activity” means engaging in any of the following activities: (A) serving as a director of any Competitor (as defined below), (B) directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, either (X) controlling any Competitor or (Y) owning any equity or debt interests in any Competitor (other than equity or debt interests which are publicly traded and, at the time of any acquisition thereof by the Executive, do not in the aggregate exceed 5% of the particular class of interests of such Competitor then outstanding) (it being understood that, if interests in any Competitor are owned by an investment vehicle or other entity in which the Executive owns an equity interest, a portion of the interests in such Competitor owned by such entity shall be attributed to the Executive, such portion determined by applying the percentage of the equity interest in such entity owned by the Executive to the interests in such Competitor owned by such entity), (C) employment by (including serving as an officer, director or partner of), providing consulting services to (including, without limitation, as an independent contractor), or managing or operating the business or affairs of, any Competitor or (D) participating in the ownership, management, operation or control of or being connected in any manner with any Competitor. The term “Competitor” as used herein (i) during the Employment Term, means any person (other than the Company or any of their respective affiliates) that competes, either directly or indirectly with any of the business conducted by the Company or any affiliate.

Remedies. The Executive agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law. The Executive therefore agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Executive and/or any and all persons and/or entities acting for and/or with the Executive, without having to prove damages. The terms of this Paragraph shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including but not limited to the recovery of damages from the Executive. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and agreements of this Section.

Proprietary Information and Inventions. The Executive agrees that any and all inventions, discoveries, improvements, processes, formulae, business application software, patents, copyrights and trademarks made, developed, discovered or acquired by him prior to and during the Employment Term, solely or jointly with others or otherwise, which relate to the business of the Company, and all knowledge possessed by the Executive relating thereto collectively, the “Inventions”), shall be fully and promptly disclosed to the Board of Directors and to such person or persons as the Board of Directors shall direct and the Executive irrevocably assigns to the Company all of the Executive's right, title and interest in and to all Inventions of the Company and all such Inventions shall be the sole and absolute property of the Company and the Company shall be the sole and absolute owner thereof. The Executive agrees that he will at all times keep all Inventions secret from everyone except the Company and such persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time direct. The Executive shall, as requested by the Company at any time and from time to time, whether prior to or after the expiration of the Employment Term, execute and deliver to the Company any instruments deemed necessary by the Company to effect disclosure and assignment of the Inventions to the Company or its designees and any patent applications (United States or foreign) and renewals with respect thereto, including any other instruments deemed necessary by the Company for the prosecution of patent applications, the acquisition of letters patent and/or the acquisition of patents or copyrights in any and all countries and to vest title thereto in the Company or its nominee.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Executive. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that:

(i) The Executive's employment by the Company as contemplated will not conflict with, and will not be constrained by, any prior or current employment, consulting agreement or relationship, whether written or oral; and
