13
(e) Confidentiality. Each Party agrees to, and shall cause its affiliates, officers, employees, representatives, consultants and advisors ("Representatives") to, maintain the confidentiality of the terms of this Agreement, all of the information it receives from the other Party in the course of the reviews contemplated by Section 5(d), and the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), and not to use any such Confidential Information for any purpose other than to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Further, no disclosure of any Confidential Information shall be disclosed to any third party (except professional advisors who have a duty of confidentiality) unless and until such third party shall have first executed and delivered a written confidentiality agreement to the party whose information is being disclosed, which written confidentiality agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to party whose information is being disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include the following: (i) information which is or subsequently becomes generally available to the public through no act of the receiving party or its Representatives, (ii) information set forth in the receiving party’s written records prior to disclosure to the receiving party by, or on behalf of, the disclosing party, and (iii) information which is lawfully obtained by the receiving party in writing from a third party (excluding any of the receiving party’s Representatives) who did not acquire such confidential information or trade secret, directly or indirectly, from the receiving party or the disclosing party. In the event that the receiving party or its Representatives (the “Compelled Party”) become legally compelled to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Compelled Party shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide the disclosing party with prompt written notice of such requirement sufficient to permit the disclosing party to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or remedy is not obtained, or that the disclosing party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Compelled Party shall disclose only such portion of Confidential Information which the Compelled Party is advised by written opinion of counsel is legally required and shall exercise its best efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. In any event, the Compelled Party shall not oppose any action by the disclosing party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. Each Party agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by its Representatives.
(f) Notice of Developments. Each Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Party of any material adverse development causing a breach of any of its own representations and warranties in Section 3 and Section 4 above. No disclosure by any Party pursuant to this Section 5(f), however, shall be deemed to amend or supplement the Disclosure Schedule or to prevent or cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty.
(g) Exclusivity. Neither the Seller nor Xxxxx shall solicit, initiate, or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to the acquisition of all or substantially all of the capital stock or assets of the Seller (including any acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation, or share exchange).

(i) Any and all Liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and reasonable expenses suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties (whether awarded against the Indemnified Parties or paid by the Seller Indemnified Parties in settlement of a claim as provided in Section 8.3 or otherwise suffered), resulting from any misrepresentation or material breach of any warranty, condition or agreement on the part of the Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any written statement, attachment, schedule, exhibit or certificate furnished or to be furnished by the Buyer (a) pursuant hereto or (B) resulting from any transaction, matter or thing, happening or occurrence directly or indirectly related to or arising from the transactions contemplated hereby occurring prior to the Closing; and
(ii) Any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments or judgments, costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incident to any of the foregoing.
17
(b) Each of the Seller and Xxxxx hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Buyer, and its officers, directors and affiliates (collectively the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and against the following:
(i) Any and all Liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and reasonable expenses suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties (whether awarded against the Buyer Indemnified Parties or paid by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in settlement of a claim as provided in Section 8.3 or otherwise suffered), resulting from any misrepresentation, breach of any warranty, condition or agreement on the part of the Seller or Xxxxx contained in this Agreement or in any written statement, attachment, schedule, exhibit or certificate furnished or to be furnished by the Seller or Xxxxx pursuant hereto or resulting from any transaction, matter or thing, happening or occurrence directly or indirectly related to or arising from the transactions contemplated hereby occurring prior to the Closing ; and
(ii) Any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments or judgments, costs and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incident to any of the foregoing.
(c) The amount of any loss subject to indemnification hereunder shall be calculated net of any amounts which have been previously recovered by the Indemnified Parties, the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Parties”) under insurance policies or other collateral sources, and the Indemnified Parties hereby covenant that they will not release any such collateral sources from any obligations they may have. In the event any such insurance proceeds or other payments are not received before any claim for indemnification is paid pursuant to this Agreement, then the Indemnified Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exclusively pursue such collateral sources, provided they do so with reasonable diligence, and in the event they receive any recovery, then the amount of such recovery shall be applied first to reimburse the Indemnified Party for their out-of-pocket expenses expended in pursuing such recovery, second to refund any payment made which would not have been so paid had such recovery from the collateral source been obtained prior to such payment, and third, any excess to the Indemnified Parties.
(d) Any person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly give notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) to the parties required to provide indemnification (collectively the “Indemnifying Party”) after the Indemnified Party shall have knowledge of any demands, claims, actions or causes of action (singly, a “Claim” and hereinafter referred to collectively as “Claims”) which might give rise to a Claim by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party stating the nature and basis of said Claim and amount thereof, to the extent known. A failure to give notice hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from the obligation hereunder unless such failure to give notice shall materially and adversely affect Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend the Claim. Each such Indemnification Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of the Claim and shall, to the extent available to the Indemnified Party, include such supporting documentation as shall reasonably be necessary to apprise the Indemnifying Party of the facts giving rise to the Claim. After the delivery of an Indemnification Notice certifying that the Indemnified Party has incurred or had asserted against it any liabilities, claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses for which indemnity may be sought in accordance with the terms of this Section 8 (the “Damages”), the Indemnified Party shall make a claim in an amount equal to the incurred Damages or asserted Damages, as the case may be, and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for the Damages for which the Indemnified Party has incurred and not been indemnified. In the event the amount of such Damages are not promptly reimbursed by Indemnifying Party as aforesaid, the amount of such unreimbursed Damages shall accrue interest at a rate equal to two percent (2%) above the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal.
18
(e) With respect to any third party Claims, the Indemnifying Party may participate in the defense at any time or it may assume the defense by giving notice to the Indemnified Party. After assuming the defense, the Indemnifying Party:
(i) must select an attorney that is satisfactory to the Indemnified Party;
(ii) is not liable to the Indemnified Party for any later attorney’s fees or for any other later expenses that the Indemnified Party incurs, except for reasonable investigation costs;
(iii) must not compromise or settle the action without the Indemnified Party’s consent (unless the Claim solely is for money damages andthe Indemnified Party and its officers, directors and controlling persons receive unconditional general releases);
(iv) is not liable for any compromise or settlement made without its consent;
(v) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within ten (10) days after receiving notice of the action, the Indemnifying Party is bound by any determination made in the action or by any compromise or settlement made by the Indemnified Party, and also remains liable to pay the Indemnified Party’s legal fees and expenses; and
(vi) The Indemnified Party will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of any proceeding as to which the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense hereunder. Such cooperation shall include (1) providing the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to all books and records of the Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to such proceeding, (2) furnishing information about the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party and their counsel, (3) making employees available to counsel to the Indemnifying Party, and (4) preserving the existence of and maintaining all books and records of the Indemnified Party or any other Indemnified Party that is an entity that may reasonably be deemed to be potentially relevant to any such proceeding until the proceeding is finally concluded.
(f) The remedies provided to an Indemnified Party herein shall be cumulative and shall not preclude an Indemnified Party from asserting any other rights or seeking any other remedies against an Indemnifying Party or his or its respective heirs, successors or assigns. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
19
(g) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller and Xxxxx agree that any amounts required to be paid to the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Section 8 may, at the sole option of the Buyer, be withheld, offset and/or paid from the royalties otherwise payable by the Buyer to CSI-NV under the NetQin Sublicense Agreement or any other agreement involving the Acquired Assets.
9. Post Closing Covenants of Seller and Xxxxx.
(a) Promptly following the Closing, the Seller and Xxxxx shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, if applicable, amend the NetQin Master License Agreement to include the following revisions:
(i) The minimum 1,000,000 sales requirement shall commence May 1, 2010 and shall include sales in North America, electronic sales and sales over the internet.

2. Term of Employment.
(a) Term. The Company hereby employs the Employee, and the Employee hereby accepts employment with the Company for a period of two years commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Effective Date (such period, as it may be extended or renewed, the “Term”), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.

(b) Termination by Company for Cause or by Employee Without Good Reason. The Company may terminate the Employee’s employment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement at any time for Cause (as defined below) by giving the Employee written notice of termination. Such termination shall become effective upon the giving of such notice. Upon any such termination for Cause, or in the event the Employee terminates his employment with the Company without “Good Reason,” as defined below, then the Employee shall have no right to compensation, or reimbursement under Section 4, or to participate in any Employee benefit programs under Section 5, except as may otherwise be provided for herein or by law, for any period subsequent to the effective date of termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) the Employee is convicted of a felony or commits a felonious act which is related to the Employee's employment or the business of the Company; (ii) the Employee, in carrying out his duties hereunder, has acted with gross negligence or intentional misconduct resulting, in either case, in harm to the Company; (iii) the Employee misappropriates Company funds or otherwise defrauds the Company; (iv) the Employee materially breaches his fiduciary duty to the Company resulting in profit to him, directly or indirectly; (v) the Employee materially breaches any written agreement with the Company; (vi) the Employee breaches any provision of Sections 7, 8 or 11 of this Agreement; (vii) the Employee materially fails to competently perform his duties under Section 3 and after the giving of notice specifying with reasonable particularity any alleged deficiency(ies) fails to cure the alleged deficiency(ies) within 30 days; (viii) the Employee suffers from alcoholism or drug addiction; (ix) the Employee has been found to have committed any act or have failed to take any action which results in the Company’s common stock being delisted or not listed for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or a national securities exchange, as applicable; (x) the Employee fails on more than one occasion to comply with the reasonable directive’s of the Company’s Board of Directors; or (xi) the Employee fails or refuses to cooperate in any official investigation or inquiry conducted by or on behalf of the Company or by any government body or agency asserting jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities.
(c) Termination by Company Without Cause or Termination by Employee for Good Reason.. The Employee may terminate this Agreement for Good Reason (as defined below) or the Company may terminate this Agreement without Cause. In the event the Employee terminates this Agreement for Good Reason, or the Company terminates the Employee without Cause, the Employee shall be entitled to the following: (i) any accrued but unpaid Base Salary for services rendered to the date of termination; (ii) an amount equal to 12 months’ Base Salary; and (iii) all unexercised stock options previously granted to the Employee shall thereupon become fully vested, and the Employee shall have up to one year from the date of termination to exercise all such previously granted options, provided that in no event shall any option be exercisable beyond its term. The term “Good Reason” shall mean: (i) a material diminution in the Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities (unless Employee has agreed to such diminution); or (ii) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company under this Agreement. Prior to the Employee terminating his employment with the Company for Good Reason, Employee must provide written notice to the Company, within 30 days following the initial existence of such condition, that such Good Reason exists and setting forth in detail the grounds the Employee believes constitutes Good Reason. If the Company does not cure the condition(s) constituting Good Reason within 30 days following receipt of such notice, then Employee’s employment shall be deemed terminated for Good Reason. The Employee shall receive the payments provided herein at such times he would have received them if there was no termination.
28
(d) Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Employee is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”)), and the benefits provided for in this Agreement, together with any other payments and benefits which Employee has the right to receive from the Company and its affiliates, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the benefits provided hereunder (beginning with any benefit to be paid in cash hereunder) shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the “present value” (as defined in Section 280G(d)(4) or the like) of such total amounts and benefits received by Employee will be one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Employee’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by Employee shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the benefits provided hereunder is necessary shall be made initially by the Company in good faith. If a reduced benefit is provided hereunder in accordance with this Section 6(d) and through error or otherwise that payment, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from the Company (or its affiliates) used in determining if a “parachute payment” exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Employee’s base amount, then Employee shall immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made.
7. Non-Competition Agreement.
(a) Competition with the Company. Until termination of his employment and for a period of two years commencing on the date of termination, the Employee (individually or in association with, or as a stockholder, director, officer, consultant, employee, partner, joint venturer, member, or otherwise, of or through any person, firm, corporation, partnership, association or other entity) shall not, directly or indirectly, compete with the Company (which for the purpose of this Agreement also includes any of its affiliates) by acting as an officer (or comparable position) of, owning an interest in, or providing services to any entity within any metropolitan area in the United States or other country in which the Company was actually engaged in business as of the time of termination of employment or where the Company reasonably expected to engage in business within three months of the date of termination of employment. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “compete with the Company” shall refer to any business activity in which the Company was engaged as of the termination of the Employee’s employment or reasonably expected to engage in within three months of termination of employment; provided, however, the foregoing shall not prevent Employee from (i) accepting employment with an enterprise engaged in two or more lines of business, one of which is the same or similar to the Company’s business (the “Prohibited Business”) if Employee’s employment is totally unrelated to the Prohibited Business, (ii) competing in a country where as of the time of the alleged violation the Company has ceased engaging in business, or (iii) competing in a line of business which as of the time of the alleged violation the Company has either ceased engaging in or publicly announced or disclosed that it intends to cease engaging in; provided, further, the foregoing shall not prohibit Employee from owning up to five percent of the securities of any publicly-traded enterprise as long as Employee is not a director, officer, consultant, employee, partner, joint venturer, manager, member of, or to such enterprise, or otherwise compensated for services rendered thereby.
(b) Solicitation of Customers. During the period in which the provisions of Section 7(a) shall be in effect, the Employee, directly or indirectly, will not seek nor accept Prohibited Business from any Customer (as defined below) on behalf of any enterprise or business other than the Company, refer Prohibited Business from any Customer to any enterprise or business other than the Company or receive commissions based on sales or otherwise relating to the Prohibited Business from any Customer, or any enterprise or business other than the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Customer” means any person, firm, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other entity to which the Company or any of its affiliates sold or provided goods or services during the 24 month period prior to the time at which any determination is required to be made as to whether any such person, firm, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association or other entity is a Customer, or who or which was approached by or who or which has approached an employee of the Company for the purpose of soliciting business from the Company or the third party, as the case may be.
29
(c) Solicitation of Employees/Contractors. During the period in which the provisions of Section 7(b) shall be in effect, the Employee agrees that he shall not, directly or indirectly, request, recommend or advise any employee or independent contractor of the Company to terminate his or her employment or service relationship with the Company, or solicit for employment or services, or recommend to any third party the solicitation for employment or services of any person who, at the time of such solicitation, is employed or contracted by or with the Company or any of its affiliates.
(d) No Payment. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that no separate or additional payment will be required to be made to him in consideration of his undertakings in this Section 7, and confirms he has received adequate consideration for such undertakings.
(e) References. References to the Company in this Section 7 shall include the Company’s affiliates.
8. Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.
(a) Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, confidential information (“Confidential Information”) includes, but is not limited to, trade secrets, processes, policies, procedures, techniques, designs, drawings, know-how, show-how, technical information, specifications, computer software and source code, information and data relating to the development, research, testing, costs, marketing, and uses of the Services or Products (as defined herein), the Company’s budgets and strategic plans, and the identity and special needs of Customers, vendors, and suppliers, subjects and databases, data, and all technology relating to the Company’s businesses, systems, methods of operation, and Customer lists, Customer information, solicitation leads, marketing and advertising materials, methods and manuals and forms, all of which pertain to the activities or operations of the Company, the names, home addresses and all telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of the Company’s directors, employees, officers, executives, former executives, Customers and former Customers. In addition, Confidential Information also includes Customers and the identity of and telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and other addresses of executives or agents of Customers who are the persons with whom the Company’s executives, officers, employees, and agents communicate in the ordinary course of business. Confidential Information also includes, without limitation, Confidential Information received from the Company’s affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, the following will not constitute Confidential Information (i) information which is or subsequently becomes generally available to the public through no act or fault of the Employee, (ii) information set forth in the written records of the Employee prior to disclosure to the Employee by or on behalf of the Company which information is given to the Company in writing as of or prior to the date of this Agreement, and (iii) information which is lawfully obtained by the Employee in writing from a third party (excluding any affiliates of the Employee) who did not acquire such confidential information or trade secret, directly or indirectly, from the Employee or the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates and who has not breached any duty of confidentiality. As used herein, the term the term “Services” and “Products” shall include all services or products for which the Company or any of its affiliates developed any trade secrets (as defined under Florida law and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act) and/or owned a beneficial interest in any patent or patent pending during the term of Employee’s employment or applied for a patent (including a provisional patent) within 12 months after termination.
30
(b) Legitimate Business Interests. The Employee recognizes that the Company has legitimate business interests to protect and as a consequence, the Employee agrees to the restrictions contained in this Agreement because they further the Company’s legitimate business interests. These legitimate business interests include, but are not limited to (i) trade secrets, (ii) valuable confidential business, technical, and/or or professional information that otherwise does not qualify as trade secrets, including, but not limited to, all Confidential Information; (iii) substantial, significant, or key, relationships with specific prospective or existing Customers, subjects, vendors or suppliers; (iv) Customer goodwill associated with the Company’s business; and (v) specialized training relating to the Company’s technology, methods, operations and procedures.
(c) Confidentiality. Following termination of employment, the Confidential Information shall be held by the Employee in the strictest confidence and shall not, without the prior express written consent of the Company, be disclosed to any person other than in connection with the Employee’s employment by the Company. The Employee further acknowledges that such Confidential Information as is acquired and used by the Company or its affiliates is a special, valuable and unique asset. The Employee shall exercise all due and diligent precautions to protect the integrity of the Company’s Confidential Information and to keep it confidential whether it is in written form, on electronic media, oral, or otherwise. The Employee shall not copy any Confidential Information except to the extent necessary to his employment nor remove any Confidential Information or copies thereof from the Company’s premises except to the extent necessary to his employment and then only with the authorization of an executive officer of the Company (excluding the Employee). All records, files, materials and other Confidential Information obtained by the Employee in the course of his employment with the Company are confidential and proprietary and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company, its Customers, or subjects, as the case may be. The Employee shall not, except in connection with and as required by his performance of his duties under this Agreement, for any reason use for his own benefit or the benefit of any person or entity with which he may be associated or disclose any such Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever without the prior express written consent of an executive officer of the Company (excluding the Employee).
(d) References. References to the Company in this Section 8 shall include the Company’s affiliates.
31
9. Equitable Relief.
(a) The Company and the Employee recognize that the services to be rendered under this Agreement by the Employee are special, unique and of extraordinary character, and that in the event of the breach by the Employee of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or if the Employee, without the prior express consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, shall leave his employment for any reason and take any action in violation of Sections 7, 8 and 11, the Company shall be entitled to institute and prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(b) below, to enjoin the Employee from breaching the provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 11. In such action, the Company shall not be required to plead or prove irreparable harm or lack of an adequate remedy at law or post a bond or any security.
(b) Any action must be commenced in Palm Beach County, Florida. The Employee and the Company irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and agree to take any and all future action necessary to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts. The Employee and the Company irrevocably waive any objection that they now have or hereafter irrevocably waive any objection that they now have or hereafter may have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and further irrevocably waive any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment against the Employee or the Company in any such suit shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment, a certified or true copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and the amount of any liability of the Employee or the Company therein described, or by appropriate proceedings under any applicable treaty or otherwise.
10. Conflicts of Interest. While employed by the Company, the Employee shall not, unless approved by the Board, directly or indirectly:
(a) participate as an individual in any way in the benefits of transactions with any of the Company’s suppliers, vendors, or Customers, including, without limitation, having a financial interest in the Company’s suppliers, vendors, or Customers, or making loans to, or receiving loans, from, the Company’s suppliers, vendors, or Customers;
(b) realize a personal gain or advantage from a transaction in which the Company has an interest or use information obtained in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Company for the Employee’s personal advantage or gain; or
(c) accept any offer to serve as an officer, director, partner, consultant, manager with, or to be employed in a professional, technical, or managerial capacity by, a Customer.
32
11. Inventions, Ideas, Processes, and Designs. All inventions, ideas, processes, programs, software, and designs (including all improvements) (i) conceived or made by the Employee during the course of his employment with the Company (whether or not actually conceived during regular business hours) and for a period of six months subsequent to the termination (whether by expiration of the Term or otherwise) of such employment with the Company, and (ii) related to the business of the Company, shall be disclosed in writing promptly to the Company and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. An invention, idea, process, program, software, or design (including an improvement) shall be deemed related to the business of the Company if (a) it was made with the Company’s funds, personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, or Confidential Information, (b) results from work performed by the Employee for the Company, or (c) pertains to the current business or demonstrably anticipated research or development work of the Company. The Employee shall cooperate with the Company and its attorneys in the preparation of patent and copyright applications for such developments and, upon request, shall promptly assign all such inventions, ideas, processes, and designs to the Company. The decision to file for patent or copyright protection or to maintain such development as a trade secret, or otherwise, shall be in the sole discretion of the Company, and the Employee shall be bound by such decision. References to the Company in this Section shall include the Company and its affiliates.
12. Indebtedness. If, during the course of the Employee’s employment under this Agreement, the Employee becomes indebted to the Company for any reason, the Company may, if it so elects, set off any sum due to the Company from the Employee and collect any remaining balance from the Employee unless the Employee has entered into a written agreement with the Company.
13. Assignability. The rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company, provided that such successor or assign shall acquire all or substantially all of the securities or assets and business of the Company. The Employee’s obligations hereunder may not be assigned or alienated and any attempt to do so by the Employee will be void.
14. Severability.
(a) The Employee expressly agrees that the character, duration and geographical scope of the non-competition provisions set forth in this Agreement are reasonable in light of the circumstances as they exist on the date hereof. Should a decision, however, be made at a later date by a court of competent jurisdiction that the character, duration or geographical scope of such provisions is unreasonable, then it is the intention and the agreement of the Employee and the Company that this Agreement shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the Employee’s conduct that are reasonable in the light of the circumstances and as are necessary to assure to the Company the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed included herein because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to assure to the Company the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to be enforced in such proceeding shall be deemed eliminated, for the purposes of such proceeding, from this Agreement.
(b) If any provision of this Agreement otherwise is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or jurisdiction where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered divisible as to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such state or jurisdiction and shall not be part of the consideration moving from either of the parties to the other. The remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provisions were not included.
33
15. Notices and Addresses. All notices, offers, acceptance and any other acts under this Agreement (except payment) shall be in writing, and shall be sufficiently given if delivered to the addressees in person, by Federal Express or similar receipted delivery, or next business day delivery, or by facsimile delivery (in which event a copy shall immediately be sent by Federal Express or similar receipted delivery), as follows:

18. Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute, disagreement, or issue of construction or interpretation arising hereunder whether relating to its execution, its validity, the obligations provided therein or performance shall be governed or interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Florida without regard to choice of law considerations.
34
19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, except by a statement in writing signed by the party or parties against which enforcement or the change, waiver discharge or termination is sought.
20. Additional Documents. The parties hereto shall execute such additional instruments as may be reasonably required by their counsel in order to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement and to fulfill the obligations of the parties hereunder.
21. Section and Paragraph Headings. The section and paragraph headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
22. Arbitration. Except for a claim for equitable relief, any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or its interpretation, application, implementation, breach or enforcement which the parties are unable to resolve by mutual agreement, shall be settled by submission by either party of the controversy, claim or dispute to binding arbitration in Palm Beach County, Florida (unless the parties agree in writing to a different location), before three arbitrators in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. In any such arbitration proceeding the parties agree to provide all discovery deemed necessary by the arbitrators. The decision and award made by the arbitrators shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties hereto for all purposes, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
23. Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002.
(a) In the event the Employee or the Company is the subject of an investigation (whether criminal, civil, or administrative) involving possible violations of the United States federal securities laws by the Employee, the Board may, in its sole discretion, direct the Company to withhold any and all payments to the Employee (whether compensation or otherwise) which would have otherwise been made pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise would have been paid or payable by the Board or the Company, which the Board believes, in its sole discretion, may or could be considered an “extraordinary payment” and therefore at risk and potentially subject to, the provisions of Section 1103 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (including, but not limited to, any severance payments made to the Employee upon termination of employment) until such time as the investigation is concluded without charges having been brought or until the successful conclusion of any legal proceedings brought in connection with charges having been brought, with such amounts as directed by the Board to be withheld with or without the accruing of interest (and if with interest the rate thereof). Except by an admission of wrongdoing or the final adjudication by a court or administrative agency finding the Employee liable for or guilty of violating any of the federal securities laws, rules or regulations, the Board shall release to the Employee such compensation or other payments. Notwithstanding the exclusion caused by the first clause of the prior sentence, the Employee shall receive such payments if provided for by a court or other administrative order.
35
(b) In the event that the Company restates any financial statements which have been contained in reports or registration statements filed with the SEC, and the restatement of the prior financial statements is as the result of material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws caused by misconduct, the Employee hereby acknowledges that any bonus that may be awarded or the restricted stock or options that are granted under this Agreement may be subject to forfeiture or the Employee may be required to reimburse the Company for the bonus(es) paid and the value of such restricted stock or options as provided in the next sentence. The Employee agrees to reimburse the Company for any bonuses received and/or profits realized from the sale of the Company’s securities during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC of the report or registration statement (whichever comes first) containing the financial information required to be restated. Provided, however, this Section shall not impose any liability on the Employee beyond any liability that is imposed under Section 304 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002.
24. Section 409A.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at the time of the Employee’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Employee becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of the Employee’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20% additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the Employee’s separation from service, or (ii) the Employee’s death (the “Six Month Delay Rule”).
(b) For purposes of this Section 24, amounts payable under the Agreement should not be considered a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (i.e., short-term deferrals), Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) (i.e., separation pay plans, including the exception under subparagraph (iii)), and other applicable provisions of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1 through A-6.
(c) To the extent that the Six Month Delay Rule applies to payments otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of the Six Month Delay Rule, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.
(d) To the extent that the Six Month Delay Rule applies to the provision of benefits (including, but not limited to, life insurance and medical insurance), such benefit coverage shall nonetheless be provided to the Employee during the first six months following his separation from service (the “Six Month Period”), provided that, during such Six-Month Period, the Employee pays to the Company, on a monthly basis in advance, an amount equal to the Monthly Cost (as defined below) of such benefit coverage. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for any such payments made by the Employee in a lump sum not later than 30 days following the sixth month anniversary of the Employee’s separation from service. For purposes of this subparagraph, “Monthly Cost” means the minimum dollar amount which, if paid by the Employee on a monthly basis in advance, results in the Employee not being required to recognize any federal income tax on receipt of the benefit coverage during the Six Month Period.
(e) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.
(f) The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Employee or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) bona fide gifts, provided the recipient thereof agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, or (b) dispositions to any trust for you or your principal’s direct or indirect benefit and/or your principal’s immediate family, provided that such trust agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Both parties agree that they will maintain in confidence all such Confidential Information and that they will not, for any reason, directly or indirectly, use for the benefit of themselves, or for any Person, or disclose to any Person, any of the Confidential Information of the other party, without the prior written authorization of the other party. Each Party agrees to, and shall cause its affiliates, officers, employees, representatives, consultants and advisors ("Representatives") to, maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and not to use any such Confidential Information for any purpose other than to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Further, no disclosure of any Confidential Information shall be disclosed to any third party (except professional advisors who have a duty of confidentiality) unless and until such third party shall have first executed and delivered a written confidentiality agreement to the party whose information is being disclosed, which written confidentiality agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to party whose information is being disclosed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include the following: (i) information which is or subsequently becomes generally available to the public through no act of the receiving party or its Representatives, (ii) information set forth in the receiving party’s written records prior to disclosure to the receiving party by, or on behalf of, the disclosing party, and (iii) information which is lawfully obtained by the receiving party in writing from a third party (excluding any of the receiving party’s Representatives) who did not acquire such confidential information or trade secret, directly or indirectly, from the receiving party or the disclosing party. In the event that the receiving party or its Representatives (the “Compelled Party”) become legally compelled to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Compelled Party shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide the disclosing party with prompt written notice of such requirement sufficient to permit the disclosing party to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that such protective order or remedy is not obtained, or that the disclosing party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Compelled Party shall disclose only such portion of Confidential Information which the Compelled Party is advised by written opinion of counsel is legally required and shall exercise its best efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. In any event, the Compelled Party shall not oppose any action by the disclosing party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, both parties shall return all notices, memoranda, lists, reports and all other documents and materials, and all copies thereof, which contain or relate to the Confidential Information of the other party, including all copies and records thereof, to the other upon receipt of request therefore.

ARTICLE XIII – EQUITABLE RELIEF

14.1 Assignability. The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company. The Licensor may not assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any third party. The Licensee may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate; provided, however, that Licensee shall continue to remain primarily liable to the Licensee for all such obligations. Nothing contained herein to the contrary shall prohibit Licensee from sublicensing it rights under this Agreement to any third party.
14.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement otherwise is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or jurisdiction where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered divisible as to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such state or jurisdiction and shall not be part of the consideration moving from either of the parties to the other. The remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provisions were not included.
