Extent of Services: Xxxxxx shall at all times and to the best of his ability perform his duties and obligations under this Agreement in a reasonable manner consistent with the interests of G8. The precise services of Xxxxxx may be extended or curtailed, from time to time at the discretion of G8, and Xxxxxx agrees to render such different and/or additional services of a similar nature as may be assigned from time to time by G8.

5.3.1 Except as otherwise agreed by G8 and Xxxxxx in writing, it is expressly understood and agreed that Xxxxxx’ employment is full time and of a critical nature to the success of G8 and is therefore exclusive. Xxxxxx may not be employed by other entities or otherwise perform duties and undertakings on behalf of others or for his own interest unless pre-approved by the Board of Directors. G8 acknowledges that Xxxxxx presently, or may in the future, serve on the Board of Directors of other companies and such action shall not be a breach of this section; provided, however, that such companies either: (a) are listed on Addendum B, attached hereto; or (b) do not compete with G8 or interfere with the performance of Xxxxxx’ duties pursuant to this Agreement, as determined in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors. Unless otherwise agreed by G8 and Xxxxxx in writing, employment of Xxxxxx at less than full time shall not affect the vesting of the Option Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

5.3.2 Additionally, G8 recognizes that Xxxxxx has, or may have in the future, non-passive equity positions in other companies, which either: (a) are listed on Addendum B attached hereto; or (b) do not compete with G8 in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors. G8 recognizes that such equity positions may occasionally require some limited attention from Xxxxxx during normal business hours. However, Xxxxxx agrees that if such time is considered excessive by the Board of Directors, Xxxxxx shall be so advised and noticed by G8 and Xxxxxx shall be required to make appropriate adjustments to ensure his duties and obligations under this Agreement are fulfilled.

TERMINATION. The Term of this Agreement shall end upon its expiration pursuant to Section 2 hereof, provided that this Agreement shall terminate prior to such date: (a) upon Xxxxxx’ resignation, death or permanent disability or incapacity; or (b) by G8 at any time for “Cause” (as defined in Section 6.4 below) or without Cause.

6.1

By Resignation: If Xxxxxx resigns with “Good Reason” (as defined below), this Agreement shall terminate but, Xxxxxx shall continue to receive, for a six-month period, (i) Xxxxxx’ Salary payable in periodic installments on G8’s regular paydays, at the rate then in effect, (ii) any accrued but unpaid Commissions, and (iii) any options or stock grants shall vest only through the end of the then current calendar month. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean: (i) the assignment to Xxxxxx of duties substantially and materially inconsistent with the position and nature of Xxxxxx’ employment, the substantial and material reduction of the duties of Xxxxxx which is inconsistent with the position and nature of Xxxxxx’ employment; or (ii) a reduction in compensation and benefits that would substantially diminish the aggregate value of Xxxxxx’ compensation and benefits without Xxxxxx’ written consent.

6.2

By Reason of Incapacity or Disability: If Xxxxxx becomes so incapacitated by reason of accident, illness, or other disability that Xxxxxx is unable to carry on substantially all of the normal duties and obligations of Xxxxxx under this Agreement for a continuous period of sixty (60) days (the “Incapacity Period”), this Agreement shall terminate. Further, any options or stock grants shall be deemed vested only through the end of the calendar month in which the Incapacity Period is determined. For purposes of the foregoing, Xxxxxx’ permanent disability or incapacity shall be determined in accordance with G8’s disability insurance policy, if such a policy is then in effect, or if no such policy is then in effect, such permanent disability or incapacity shall be determined by G8’s Board of Directors in its good faith judgment based upon Xxxxxx’ inability to perform normal and reasonable duties and obligations.

6.3

By Reason of Death: If Xxxxxx dies during the Term of this Agreement, G8 shall pay to the estate of Xxxxxx any earned Commission only through the date of Xxxxxx’ death. Other death benefits, if any, will be determined in accordance with the terms of G8’s benefit plans and programs. Further, any options or stock grants shall be deemed vested only through the end of the calendar month of Xxxxxx’ death.

6.4

For Cause: If the Term of this Agreement is terminated by G8 for Cause Xxxxxx shall be entitled to receive Xxxxxx’ Commission only through the date of termination and any option or stock grants shall be deemed vested only through the end of the calendar month of such termination. However, if a dispute arises between G8 and Xxxxxx that is not resolved within sixty (60) days and neither party initiates legal proceedings pursuant to Section 12.8, G8 shall have the option to pay Xxxxxx the lump sum equal to six month’s Salary at the time of termination (the “Severance Payment”). Such determination to pay the Severance Payment shall be made in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors. If G8 elects to make a payment to Xxxxxx of the Severance Payment, the parties hereto agree that such payment and the payment provided by Section 6.6 shall be Xxxxxx’ complete and exclusive remedy for such a termination for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) any act of dishonesty or fraud with respect to G8; (ii) the commission by Xxxxxx of a felony, a crime involving moral turpitude or other act causing material harm to G8’s standing and reputation; (iii) Xxxxxx’ continued material failure to perform Xxxxxx’ duties to G8 after ten (10) days’ written notice thereof to Xxxxxx; or (iv) gross negligence or willful misconduct by Xxxxxx with respect to G8. G8 shall provide Xxxxxx, within ten (10) days of becoming aware of a “For Cause” breach, written notice, which shall include written documentation, if any, of the “For Cause” breach, as defined above. Upon receipt of the written notice, Xxxxxx shall have ten (10) days to respond to G8’s notice and attempt to cure or resolve the “For Cause” breach.

6.5

Without Cause: If, during the Term of this Agreement, G8 terminates Xxxxxx’ employment without Cause, Xxxxxx shall be entitled to receive six month’s Salary payable in periodic installments on G8’s regular paydays, and any option or stock grants shall be deemed vested only through the end of the calendar month of such termination. In addition, G8 may pay Xxxxxx additional sums pursuant to Section 7.5 below.

7.	COVENANT TO NOT COMPETE AND NON-SOLICITATION.

7.1

Covenant Not To Compete: Xxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that in consideration of and reliance upon his employment, G8 and GRDH shall allow Xxxxxx access to the Company’s proprietary information and data, including but not limited to processes, suppliers, present and future business plans, marketing strategies, marketing channels, distributors, budgets, manufacturers, investors and shareholders. Xxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that any and all such information and data could be used to the competitive disadvantage of G8 and GRDH. Accordingly, for the term of this Agreement and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the termination of this Agreement for any reason, subject to the terms of Section 7.5 below, Xxxxxx shall not, without the express written consent of G8 or GRDH, directly or indirectly in any manner, including without limitation by employment, contract, consultation, investment (either directly or beneficially) assist any person or entity in engaging in any competition with G8 or GRDH. The term “engaging in competition” as used herein shall be deemed to be used in its ordinary meaning and sense and shall include engaging in, assisting or have an interest in, or entering the employment of or acting as an agent, advisor or consultant for, any person or entity which is engaged in, or will be engaged in, the development, manufacture, supplying or sale of a product, process, service or development which is competitive with a product, process, service or development on which G8 or GRDH has expended resources and on which Xxxxxx worked or with respect to which Xxxxxx has or had access to Confidential Information while at Company. Upon the Effective Date, Xxxxxx agrees that the geographical scope of this covenant not to compete shall be North America. For purposes of clarity, the following products shall not be considered to be products that are competitive with the Company’s products and thus are not products covered by this Agreement: stun guns, Taser devices, stun batons, or other personal defense or person and crowd control products using electrical charges, impact munitions, firearms that discharge potentially lethal rounds or other lethal or potentially lethal personal protection devices. Persons and entities that develop and sell such devices shall not be deemed competitors of G8 or GRDH unless or until the same begin developing and/or selling products covered by this Agreement.

7.2

Acknowledgment Regarding Restrictions: Xxxxxx recognizes and agrees that the restraints contained in Section 7.1, including the geographic scope thereof in light of G8’s marketing efforts, are reasonable and enforceable in view of G8’s legitimate interests in protecting its Confidential Information and customer goodwill and the limited scope of the restrictions in Section 7.1.

7.3

Enforcement in Equity: Xxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that in the event that there is a breach of the covenant not to compete or of the non-solicitation covenant set forth herein, that G8 or GRDH have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree that G8 and/or GRDH may enforce these covenants in equity by way of injunctive relief, both temporary and permanent. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any such actions shall be the District Court of Xxxxxxx County, Kansas and Xxxxxx irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of that court for such purposes. G8 and/or GRDH shall not be deemed stopped from combining a claim for injunctive relief with a claim for money damages in the same action. In the event that G8 and/or GRDH is the prevailing party in any such action, they shall be entitled to recover their reasonable attorney’s fees as part of the judgment in the action.

7.4

Non-Solicitation; Agreement not to Hire/be Hired: Xxxxxx understands and appreciates that G8 invests a tremendous amount of time, energy, resources and expertise in the training and education of its employees to be able to operate its operations. Further, Xxxxxx understands that in the event an employee of G8, GRDH or any of its operating subsidiaries, is enticed to leave, then G8 shall be damaged in an amount the Parties are not capable of calculating at the present time. Therefore, Xxxxxx agrees, that during any non-compete period set forth above, that he will not offer employment or contractor status to any employee or contractor or affiliated person of G8, or accept employment or contractor status from any employee or contractor or affiliated person of G8; GRDH or its operating subsidiaries, nor to allow any person or entity affiliated with Xxxxxx to offer such employment status with Xxxxxx or any other concern, venture or entity with whom Xxxxxx may be employed by, associated or hold a more than five percent (5%) ownership position in.

7.5

Non-Compete Payments for Termination Without Cause: In the event Xxxxxx is terminated without Cause, as set forth in Section 6.5 above, the eighteen (18) month period of non-competition set forth in Section 7.1 shall only be effective for a period of time in which Xxxxxx is compensated by G8 in accordance with the following formula:

(BS x 0.85) x NM = P

Where:

BS = Xxxxxx base salary at the time of termination;

NM = the number of months (up to eighteen) G8 desires to enforce the non-competition provision; and

P = the lump sum payment payable to Xxxxxx within ten (10) business days of the without Cause termination.

8.	TRADE SECRETS AND CONFIDENTIALITY.

8.1

Nondisclosure: Without the prior written consent of G8, Xxxxxx shall not, at any time, either during or after the term of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, divulge or disclose to any person, firm, association, or corporation, or use for Xxxxxx’ own benefit, gain, or otherwise, any customer lists, plans, products, data, results of tests and data, or any other trade secrets or confidential materials or like information (collectively referred to as the “Confidential Information”) of G8 and/or its Affiliates, as hereinafter defined, it being the intent of G8, with which intent Xxxxxx hereby agrees, to restrict Xxxxxx from disseminating or using any like information that is unpublished or not readily available to the general public.

8.1.1

Definition of Affiliate. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall mean any entity, individual, firm, or corporation, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controlling, controlled by, or under common control with G8.

Return of Property: Upon the termination of this Agreement, Xxxxxx shall deliver to G8 all lists, books, records, data, and other information (including all copies thereof in whatever form or media) of every kind relating to or connected with G8 or its Affiliates and their activities, business and customers.

8.3

Notice of Compelled Disclosure: If, at any time, Xxxxxx becomes legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process or otherwise) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, Xxxxxx shall provide G8 with prompt, prior written notice of such requirement so that G8 may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, that G8 waives compliance with the provisions hereof, Xxxxxx agrees to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which Xxxxxx is advised by written opinion of counsel is legally required and exercise Xxxxxx’ best efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. In any event, Xxxxxx shall not oppose action by G8 to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.

8.4	Assurance of Compliance: Xxxxxx agrees to represent to G8, in writing, at any time that G8 so request, that Xxxxxx has complied with the provisions of this section, or any other section of this Agreement.

RETURN OF G8 PROPERTY.
