EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.57

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated effective as of April 2, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), between Virtual Radiologic Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (“Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive as Chief Technology Officer of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to enter into the Agreement as to the terms of his employment by the Company;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises contained herein and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Position/Duties.

(a) During the Employment Term (as defined in Section 2 below), Executive shall serve as the Chief Technology Officer of the Company. In this capacity Executive shall have such duties, authorities and responsibilities commensurate with the duties, authorities and responsibilities of persons in similar capacities in similarly sized companies and such other duties and responsibilities as the Chief Executive Officer shall designate that are consistent with Executive’s position as Chief Technology Officer of the Company. Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer.

(b) During the Employment Term, Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time (excluding periods of vacation and other approved leaves of absence) to the performance of his duties with the Company; provided the foregoing shall not prevent Executive from (i) participating in charitable, civic, educational, professional, community or industry affairs or, with prior written approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), serving on the board of directors or advisory boards of other companies; and (ii) managing his and his family’s’ personal investments so long as such activities do not materially interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder or create a potential business conflict or the appearance thereof. If at any time service on any board of directors or advisory board would, in the good faith judgment of the Board, conflict with Executive’s’ fiduciary duty to the Company or create any appearance thereof, Executive shall promptly resign from such other board of directors or advisory board after notice of the conflict is received from the Board.

(c) Executive further agrees to serve without additional compensation as an officer and director of any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates, as the same may exist from time to time, and agrees that any amounts received from any such subsidiary or affiliate may be offset against the amounts due hereunder. In addition, it is agreed that the Company may assign Executive to one of its subsidiaries or affiliates for payroll purposes providing this does not change the Executive’s role as the Chief Technology Officer of the Company

2. Employment Term.

Executive’s term of employment under this Agreement (such term of employment, as it may be extended or terminated, is herein referred to as the “Employment Term”) shall be for a term commencing on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier as provided in Section 7 hereof, ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Original Employment Term”); provided that the Employment Term shall be automatically extended, subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 7 hereof, for successive additional one (1) year periods (the “Additional Terms”), unless, at least 30 days prior to the end of the Original Employment Term or the then Additional Term, the Company or Executive has notified the other in writing that the Employment Term shall terminate at the end of the then current term.

3. Base Salary.

The Company agrees to pay Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) at an annual rate of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company, but not less frequently than monthly. Executive’s Base Salary shall be fixed for the Original Employment Term, and thereafter in any Additional Term shall be determined by the Board (or a committee thereof) and may be increased, but not decreased, from time to time by the Board. The base salary as determined herein from time to time shall constitute “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement.

4. Incentive Bonus.

During the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s bonus and other incentive compensation plans and programs for the Company’s senior executives at a level commensurate with his position. Executive shall have the opportunity to earn an annual target bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) to be determined by and measured against objective financial criteria to be determined by the Board (or a committee thereof) of up to 50% of Base Salary upon the Company’s achievement of financial and operating metrics to be annually determined by the Board (or a committee thereof), and upon recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer to be appropriate and reasonably commensurate with the bonus payable to other executives of the Company, and prorated for any partial period for which such bonuses are calculated during 2007. Such annual incentive bonuses are payable to the Executive no later than 60 days following the close of the fiscal year.

5. Equity Incentives.

(a) Initial Option Award. The Board or any committee of the Board (the “Committee”) appointed to administer the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the “Stock Plan”) shall award Executive as of the Effective Date, options to purchase one hundred thirty thousand (130,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, having an exercise price equal to the fair market value of one share of the Company’s common stock as of the Effective Date as determined by the Board or Committee at the earliest practicable time, which options shall be subject to certain restrictions (the “Initial Options Award”). The Initial Options Award shall vest in four (4) equal amounts on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Effective Date, provided that Executive is employed

on each vesting date. The Initial Options Award shall be granted pursuant to and shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions imposed upon such awards granted under the Stock Plan and shall be evidenced by an Incentive Stock Option Agreement in the form approved by the Board or Committee. As a condition to receiving the Initial Options Award, Executive shall become party to the Stockholders Agreement dated May 2, 2005, as amended from time to time, by and among the Company and certain holders of the Company’s securities, and, if requested, Executive shall also execute and deliver a letter in a form approved by the Company’s underwriters agreeing not to sell any shares of Company common stock during a customary period following the completion of an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock.

(b) Discretionary Grants. In addition to the Initial Options Award contemplated under this Section 5, at the sole discretion of the Board or the Committee, Executive shall be eligible for grants of stock options and other equity awards of a level commensurate with his position and similar to other Executives of the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision, in the event of a change in control, all equity awards (including, but not limited to, any options or stock grants made subsequent to the date of this Agreement) shall fully vest and be immediately exercisable. For purposes of this Agreement a change in control shall occur upon (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) first becoming after the Effective Date (a) a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13(d) under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities or (b) able to elect a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (excepting in each case a person or group owned by or affiliated with Generation Partners L.P.), or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

(d) Option to Have Company Repurchase Stock and Options. If Executive dies while employed, the Company shall, subject to any restrictions contained in any credit or similar agreements or that exist under the Delaware General Corporation Law, offer to purchase all of Executive’s stock and any outstanding options which are vested at the time of death. If the representative of the Executive’s estate wishes to accept such offer, he or she shall request, within six (6) months of death, that the Board determine the fair market value of Executive’s interest in the Company. This value shall be communicated in writing to the representative, and the representative shall have thirty (30) days to accept or reject the valuation. If the valuation is rejected, the representative shall have no further rights to have the interest repurchased by the Company. If the valuation is accepted, the Company shall pay the amount of the valuation in three (3) equal annual installments without interest. The initial installment shall be payable within ten days following the Company’s receipt of the representatives written acceptance of the valuation and delivery of the shares and/or options together with any transfer documentation reasonably requested by the Company. A subsequent installment shall be due on the first and on the second anniversary of the payment date of the initial installment.

6. Employee Benefits.

(a) Benefit Plans. Executive shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans of the Company including, but not limited to, equity, pension, thrift, profit sharing, medical coverage, education, or other retirement or welfare benefits that the Company has adopted or may adopt, maintain or contribute to for the benefit of its senior executives at a level commensurate with his position, subject to satisfying any applicable eligibility requirements.

(b) Paid Time Off. Executive shall be entitled to paid time off in accordance with the Company’s policies applicable to its senior executives, but in no event less than twenty days (as prorated for partial years), which paid time off may be taken at such times as Executive elects with due regard to the needs of the Company.

(c) Perquisites. The Company shall provide to Executive all perquisites which other senior executives of the Company are generally entitled to receive.

(d) Business and Entertainment Expenses. Upon presentation of appropriate documentation, Executive shall be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy for all reasonable and necessary business and entertainment expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder.

7. Termination.

Executive’s employment and the Employment Term shall terminate on the first of the following to occur:

(a) Disability. Upon written notice by the Company to Executive of termination due to Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall be defined as the inability of Executive to have performed his material duties hereunder due to a physical or mental injury, infirmity or incapacity for 180 days (including weekends and holidays) in any 365-day period, with or without reasonable accommodations as defined (and if required) by applicable state and federal disability laws. The existence or nonexistence of a Disability shall be determined by an independent physician selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive.

(b) Death. Automatically on the date of death of Executive.

(i) Executive shall have been indicted for a felony;

(ii) Executive shall have been convicted of (or plead “guilty” or “nolo contendre” to or been found guilty and not convicted of) any misdemeanor or summary offense involving fraud, theft, misrepresentation or moral turpitude or any other misdemeanor or summary offense that will, in the opinion of the Board , determined in good faith, adversely affect in any material respect the Company’s prospects or

reputation or Executive’s ability to perform his obligations or duties to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or

(iii) The termination is evidenced by a resolution adopted in good faith by the Board concluding that Executive:

(A) intentionally and continually failed substantially to perform his reasonably assigned duties with the Company (other than a failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or from the assignment to Executive of duties that would constitute Good Reason), which failure has continued for a period of at least 30 days after a written notice of demand for substantial performance, signed by a duly authorized member of the Board, has been delivered to Executive,

(B) intentionally engaged in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company; provided, however, that no termination of Executive’s employment shall be for Cause as set forth in this subsection (B) until (1) there shall have been delivered to Executive a copy of a written notice, signed by a duly authorized member of the Board, stating that the Board has determined that Executive has engaged in the conduct set forth in this subsection (B), and (2) Executive shall have been provided an opportunity to be heard by the Board;

(C) willfully or repeatedly engaged in misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of his duties to the Company or any of its subsidiaries that has a material detrimental effect on the Company; or

(D) committed an act of fraud, theft or dishonesty against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any act or omission intended to result in the personal enrichment of Executive or his spouse, parents or descendants (whether by blood or adoption and including stepchildren) or the spouses of such individuals in violation of law or of his duty of loyalty to the Company or its subsidiaries at the expense, directly or indirectly, of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, if Executive has been terminated ostensibly for Cause because he has been indicted for a felony, and he is not convicted of, or does not plead guilty or nolo contendere to, such felony or a lesser offense (based on the same operative facts), such termination shall be deemed to be a termination without Cause as of the date of the termination; provided, however, that, any payments due hereunder shall be only paid after a final determination in such proceeding is reached.

(d) Without Cause. Upon written notice by the Company to Executive of an involuntary termination without Cause, other than for death or Disability,

(e) Good Reason. Upon written notice by Executive to the Company of a termination for Good Reason, unless such events are corrected in all material respects by the Company within 30 days following written

notification by Executive to the Company that he intends to terminate his employment hereunder for one of the reasons set forth below (so long as such notice is given within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such Good Reason). “Good Reason” shall mean, without the consent of Executive, the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) assignment to Executive of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with Executive’s position (including titles and reporting relationships), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by this Agreement; and

(ii) any material failure by the Company to comply with any of the material provisions regarding Executive’s Base Salary, bonus, equity incentive, benefits and perquisites and other benefits and amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement.

(f) Without Good Reason. Upon 30 days’ prior written notice by Executive to the Company of Executive’s voluntary termination of employment without Good Reason (which the Company may, in its sole discretion, make effective earlier than any notice date).

8. Consequences of Termination.

Any termination payments made and benefits provided under this Agreement to Executive shall be in lieu of any termination or severance payments or benefits for which Executive may be eligible under any of the plans, policies or programs of the Company or its affiliates. No termination payments shall be payable hereunder until Executive shall have returned to the Company all Company property used by Executive including without limitation any automobile, computer or laptop, cell phone, Blackberry or similar device. Subject to Section 9, the following amounts and benefits shall be due to Executive.

(a) Disability. Upon such termination, the Company shall pay or provide Executive (i) any unpaid Base Salary through the date of termination and any accrued vacation in accordance with Company policy; (ii) any unpaid bonus earned with respect to any fiscal year ending on or preceding the date of termination; (iii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed expenses incurred through the date of termination; and (iv) all other payments, benefits or fringe benefits to which Executive may be entitled under the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement or benefit, equity or fringe benefit plan or program or grant or this Agreement (collectively, “Accrued Amounts”).

(b) Death. In the event the Employment Term ends on account of Executive’s death, Executive’s estate shall be entitled to any Accrued Amounts.

(c) Termination for Cause or Without Good Reason. If Executive’s employment should be terminated (i) by the Company for Cause, or (ii) by Executive without Good Reason, the Company shall pay to Executive any Accrued Amounts.

(d) Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment by the Company is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (other than a termination for Disability) or by Executive for Good Reason, the Company shall pay or provide Executive with (i) Accrued Amounts; (ii) a pro-rata portion (determined by multiplying the

amount Executive would have received had employment continued through the end of the performance year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the performance year of termination that Executive is employed by the Company and the denominator of which is 365) of Executive’s Annual Bonus for the performance year in which Executive’s termination occurs at the time that annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives; provided that the Board determines in good faith that the Company was on plan for Executive to earn such bonus at the time of termination; (iii) continue his then current Base Salary as if his employment continued for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination, subject to the mitigation provisions set forth below; and (iv) subject to Executive’s continued copayment of premiums, continued participation for twelve (12) months in all health and welfare plans which cover Executive (and eligible dependents) upon the same terms and conditions (except for the requirements of Executive’s continued employment) in effect on the date of termination. If at any time after Executive’s termination while the Company is obligated hereunder to make such payments of Base Salary or continue such benefits, Executive receives compensation for providing services as an employee or as an independent contractor from any person or entity, then Executive shall immediately notify the Company of such event and the Company’s obligation to continue to make such payments to Executive shall be reduced by the gross amount of any such payments and the obligation to continue to provide benefits shall cease at such time as Executive is eligible for health insurance coverage by any successor employer or person or entity, prompt notice of which Executive shall furnish to the Company. Executive shall use good faith and reasonable efforts to find and secure new employment after any such termination. To the extent such coverage cannot be provided under the Company’s health or welfare plans without jeopardizing the tax status of such plans, for underwriting reasons or because of the tax impact on Executive, the Company shall pay Executive an amount equal to the amount the Company would have paid for such benefits on behalf of Executive if the benefits were provided to him as an employee. The continuation of health benefits under this subsection shall reduce and count against Executive’s rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”).

(e) Amounts Payable. The Company reserves the right to set off against amounts payable to Executive hereunder any amounts owed by Executive to the Company.

9. Release.

Any and all amounts payable and benefits or additional rights provided pursuant to this Agreement beyond Accrued Amounts shall only be payable if Executive delivers to the Company a general release of all claims of Executive occurring up to the release date in the form of Exhibit A hereto (with such insertions or changes therein as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company to make it valid and encompassing under applicable law) within 21 days of presentation thereof by the Company to Executive, or such other longer or shorter period as may be permitted or required by then applicable law.

10. Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Confidentiality. Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, use, make available, sell, disclose or otherwise communicate to any person, other than in the course of

Executive’s assigned duties and for the benefit of the Company, either during the Employment Term or at any time thereafter, any nonpublic proprietary or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates that has been obtained by Executive during Executive’s employment by the Company or has been obtained pursuant to any consulting services provided by Executive to Company prior to Executive’s employment by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, non-public proprietary information means information proprietary to the Company that is not generally known (including any “trade secret” within the meaning of the Economic Espionage Act of 1996, Title 18 USC §1839) about the Company’s customers, products, services, personnel, pricing, sales strategy, technology, methods, processes, research, development, finances, systems, techniques, accounting, purchasing and plans. All information disclosed to Executive or to which he obtains access, whether originated by him or by others, during the period that Executive is an employee of the Company (such period being referred to as the “Employment Period”) (whether prior to the Effective Date or thereafter), shall be presumed to be non-public proprietary information if it is so treated by the Company or if Executive has a reasonable basis to believe it to be such. The foregoing shall not apply to information that (i) was known to the public prior to its disclosure to Executive; (ii) becomes known to the public subsequent to disclosure to Executive through no wrongful act of Executive or any representative of Executive; or (iii) Executive is required to disclose by applicable law, regulation or legal process (provided that Executive provides the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure and reasonably cooperates with the Company at its expense in seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information). Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence, Executive’s obligation to maintain such disclosed information in confidence shall not terminate where only portions of the information are in the public domain.

(b) Nonsolicitation. During the Employment Term and for the two year period thereafter, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, knowingly solicit, aid or induce (i) any employee of or consultant to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to leave such employment or engagement in order to accept employment with or render services to or with any other person, firm, corporation or other entity unaffiliated with the Company or knowingly take any action to materially assist or aid any other person, firm, corporation or other entity in identifying or hiring any such employee or (ii) any customer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to purchase goods or services then sold by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates from another person, firm, corporation or other entity or assist or aid any other persons or entity in identifying or soliciting any such customer.

(c) Noncompetition. Executive acknowledges that he performs services of a unique nature for the Company that are irreplaceable, and that his performance of such services to a competing business will result in irreparable harm to the Company. Accordingly, during the Employment Term and for the two year period thereafter, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by (whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, and whether or not for compensation) or render services to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, in whatever form, engaged in any business of the same type as any business in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is engaged on the date of termination or in which they have proposed, on or prior to such date, to be engaged in on or after such date, in any locale of any country in which the Company or its subsidiaries conducts business. This Section 10(c) shall not prevent Executive from owning not

more than one percent of the total shares of all classes of stock outstanding of any publicly held entity engaged in such business, nor will it restrict Executive from rendering services to charitable organizations, as such term is defined in Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(d) Nondisparagment. Neither Executive nor the Company (for purposes hereof, the Company shall mean the Company together with its executive officers and directors and not any other employees) shall make any public statements that disparage the other party, or in the case of the Company, its respective subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, officers, directors, products or services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, statements made in the course of sworn testimony in administrative, judicial or arbitral proceedings (including, without limitation, depositions in connection with such proceedings) shall not be subject to this Section 10(d).

(e) Equitable Relief and Other Remedies. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 10 would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

(f) Reformation. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state or other jurisdiction that any restriction in this Section 10 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of that state or jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state or jurisdiction.

(g) Survival of Provisions. The obligations contained in this Section 10 shall survive the termination or expiration of Executive’s employment with the Company and shall be fully enforceable thereafter.

11. Inventions and Other Intellectual Property.

(a) Assignment of Inventions and Works Limitation of Assignment in Certain Cases. Executive acknowledges that Executive will exercise Executive’s inventive and creative abilities for the benefit of the Company. Executive therefore assigns and transfers to the Company Executive’s entire right, title and interest in and to all Inventions. Executive agrees that all such Inventions are the sole property of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Inventions” shall include but not be limited to all ideas, improvements, designs and discoveries whether or not patentable and whether or not reduced to practice, made or conceived by Executive (whether made solely by Executive or jointly with others) which relate in any manner to the business, work or research and development of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or result from and are suggested by any task assigned to Executive or any work performed by Executive for or on behalf of the Company, its predecessors in interest or any related entity. The foregoing definition does not however, include an Invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or confidential information of the Company was used and that was developed entirely on

Executive’s own time and that (i) does not directly relate to the Company’s business, research or development, or (ii) does not result from any work performed by Executive for the Company.

Executive agrees that all Works are the sole property of the Company, and shall, to the extent possible, be considered works made for hire for Company within the meaning of Title 17 of the United States Code; provided, however, that if Executive is domiciled in California or if any of the Work is created in California, then such Work shall not be a work made for hire. If for any reason any Work is not deemed to be a work made for hire, then Executive assigns and transfers to the Company Executive’s entire right, title and interest in and to such Work, and Executive further waives all of his rights under the United States Copyright Act and under any other country’s copyright law, including any rights provided in 17 U.S.C. §§ 106 and 106A, for any and all purposes for which such Work and any derivative works thereof may be used, and any rights of attribution and integrity or any other “moral rights of authors” with respect to such Work and any derivative works thereof and any uses thereof to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the United States of America or the laws of any other country. For purposes of this Agreement, “Works” shall include but not be limited to all copyrightable works created by Executive (whether solely by Executive or jointly with others) during the Employment Period, or any time thereafter, which relate in any manner to the business, work or research and development of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or result from and are suggested by any task assigned to Executive or any work performed by Executive for or on behalf of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates. If any such assignment is invalid or ineffective for any reason, then Executive hereby grants Company a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide license to fully exploit any intellectual property or propriety rights in such Inventions and Works and any patents and copyrights (or other intellectual property or propriety registrations or applications) resulting there from.

(b) Disclosure of Inventions, Works and Patents. Executive agrees that in connection with any Invention or Work:

(i) Executive will disclose such Invention promptly in writing to the President, Chief Executive Officer or Board of the Company, in order to permit the Company to claim rights to which it may be entitled under this Agreement. Such disclosure shall be received in confidence by the Company or the Board.

(ii) Executive will, at the Company’s request, promptly execute a written assignment of title to the Company for any Invention required to be assigned by this Article (“Assignable Invention”), and Executive will preserve any such Assignable Invention as confidential information of the Company.

(iii) Executive will give to the relevant contact person at the Company a copy of such Work. Executive will, at the Company’s request, promptly execute a written assignment of title to the Company for any such Work.

(iv) Upon request, Executive agrees to assist the Company or its nominee (at its expense) during and at any time subsequent to the Employment Period in every reasonable way to obtain for its own benefit patents and copyrights for such

Assignable Inventions and such Works in any and all countries, which Inventions and Works shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company or its nominee whether or not patented or copyrighted. Executive agrees to execute such papers and perform such lawful acts as the Company deems to be necessary to allow it to exercise all right, title and interest in such patents and copyrights.

(c) Execution of Documents. In connection with this Section 11, Executive further agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company or its nominee upon request (at its expense) all such documents, including applications for patents and copyrights and assignments of inventions, patents and copyrights to be issued therefore, as the Company may determine necessary or desirable to apply for and obtain letters, patents and copyrights on such Assignable Inventions and such Works in any and all countries and/or to protect the interest of the Company or its nominee in such inventions, such Works, patents and copyrights, and to vest title thereto in the Company, or its nominee.

(d) Maintenance of Records. Executive agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions and Works made or created by Executive (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and other typical forms), which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times.

(e) Prior Inventions. It is understood that all inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, which Executive made prior to the Executive’s first day as an employee of or consultant or contractor to the Company, its predecessors in interest or any related entity (and which have not been otherwise assigned or transferred to the Company) are excluded from the scope of this Agreement.

To preclude any possible uncertainty, Executive has set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto a complete list of all Executive’s prior inventions, if any, including numbers of all patents and patent applications, and a brief description of all unpatented inventions that are not the property of a previous employer or other person and which have not been otherwise assigned or transferred to the Company. Executive represents and covenants that the list is complete and that, if no items are on the list, Executive has no such prior inventions. Executive agrees to notify the Company in writing before Executive makes any disclosure or performs any work on behalf of the Company which appears to threaten or conflict with proprietary rights Executive claims in any invention or idea. In the event of Executive’s failure to give such notice, Executive agrees that Executive will make no claim against the Company with respect to any such inventions or ideas.

(f) Covenant. Executive acknowledges that his role and duties as Chief Technology Officer of the Company may entail either use of the intellectual property identified on Exhibit B or development of new intellectual property that may be an extension of the intellectual property identified on Exhibit B. To the extent that either of such eventualities occurs, Executive covenants on behalf of himself and on behalf of Assess IT to assert no claim of any kind whatsoever, either for damages or equitable relief, against the Company, or any successor in interest of the Company, that is based upon, arises from or relates to any intellectual property that was owned or used by the Company during Executive’s tenure as an officer of the Company. The covenant given herein is independent of any other provision in this Agreement;

is irrevocable; shall never lapse or become otherwise ineffective; and shall survive the termination of this Agreement for whatever reason.

(g) Trade Secrets and Intellectual Property of Others. Executive represents that Executive’s performance of all the terms of this Agreement does not and will not breach any noncompetition or nonsolicitation agreement, or any agreement to keep proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by Executive in confidence or in trust prior to the Employment Period, and Executive will not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or other person. Executive agrees not to enter into any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith.

(h) Non infringement. Executive represents that the work product that Executive provides to the Company, including the Inventions and the Works, and Company’s use thereof in their indented manner: (a) do not and will not infringe or violate the copyright or trade secret rights of any other party; and (b) to the best of Executive’s knowledge, do not and will not infringe or violate the actual or prospective patent or trademark rights of any other party. If at any time during or after the Employment Period, Executive has reason to believe that the foregoing representation is no longer true, then Executive shall promptly inform Company of such belief and the reasons therefor.

(i) Other Obligations. Executive acknowledges that the Company from time to time may have agreements with other persons or with the U.S. Government or governments of other countries, or agencies thereof, which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding inventions made during the course of work thereunder or regarding the confidential nature of such work. Executive agrees to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions and to take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company thereunder.

12. Assignments.

(a) This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto. Except as provided in Section 12(b) below, no party may assign or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto.

(b) The Company may assign this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, provided the Company shall require such successor to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
