restrictions on Employee's activities specified herein, are reasonable and
necessary for the protection of the Company and its Related Entities.
(h) Employee agrees that the remedy at law for any breach by Employee of
this Section 8 will be inadequate and that the Company shall be entitled to
injunctive relief (without bond or other undertaking).
(i) Employee and Company agree that to the extent a court of competent
jurisdiction or appropriate arbitral tribunal finds any of the foregoing
covenants to be overly broad based on applicable law, then the parties agree
that the court shall reform the covenants to the extent necessary to cause such
covenants to be reasonable and enforce such covenants as reformed against
Employee.
9. Confidential Information and the Results of Services. Employee
acknowledges that the Company has established a valuable and extensive trade in
the services it provides, which has been developed at considerable expense to
the Company. Employee agrees that, by virtue of the special knowledge that
Employee has received or will receive from the Company, and the relationship of
trust and confidence between Employee and the Company, Employee has or will have
certain information and knowledge of the operations of the Company that are
confidential and proprietary in nature, including, without limitation,
information about Affiliates and Sponsors. Employee agrees that during the term
hereof and at any time thereafter Employee will not make use of or disclose,
without the prior consent of the Company, Confidential Information (as
hereinafter defined) relating to the Company and any of its Related Entities
(including, without limitation, its Sponsor lists, its Affiliates, its technical
systems, its contracts, its methods of operation, its business plans and
opportunities, its strategic plans and its trade secrets), and further, that
Employee will return to the Company all written materials in Employee's
possession embodying such Confidential Information. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Confidential Information" means information obtained by Employee
during Employee's employment relationship with the Company which concerns the
affairs of the Company or its Related Entities and which the Company has
requested be held in confidence or could reasonably be expected to desire to be
held in confidence, or the disclosure of which would likely be embarrassing,
detrimental or disadvantageous to the Company or its Related Entities.
Confidential Information shall also include the terms of this Agreement (except
with respect to Employee's legal and tax advisors, and immediate family).
Confidential Information, however, shall not include information which Employee
can show by written document to be:
(a) Information that is at the time of receipt by Employee in the public
domain or is otherwise generally known in the industry or subsequently enters
the public domain or becomes generally known in the industry through no fault of
Employee;
Page 6
(b) Information that at any time is received in good faith by Employee from
a third party which was lawfully in possession of the same and had the right to
disclose the same.
The parties hereto agree that the remedy at law for any breach of Employee's
obligations under this Section 9 of this Agreement would be inadequate and that
any enforcing party shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief
(without bond or undertaking) in any proceeding which may be brought to enforce
any provisions of this Section.
10. Advertising and Publicity. Employee hereby grants the Company the
royalty-free right to use and license others to use Employee's name, nickname,
recorded voice, biographical material, portraits, pictures, and likenesses for
advertising purposes and purposes of trade, promotion and publicity in
connection with the institutions, services and products for the Company, its
Related Entities, Sponsors and Affiliates, such uses to be at such times, in
such manner and through such media as the Company may in its sole discretion
determine. Such right shall last for so long as Employee is employed by the
Company and, in connection with the use or exploitation of any material in which
Employee has been involved during Employee's employment, perpetually thereafter.
Employee shall not authorize or release any advertising or promotional matter or
publicity in any form with reference to Employee's services hereunder, or to the
Company's or its Related Entities' programs, Sponsors or Affiliates, without the
Company's prior written consent.
11. Work for Hire. Employee agrees that any ideas, concepts, techniques, or
computer programs relating to the business or operations of the Company and its
Related Entities which are developed by Employee during Employee's employment
hereunder, including each program and announcement prepared for broadcast, and
the titles, content, format, idea, theme, script, characteristics, and other
attributes thereof, shall be deemed to have been made within the scope of
Employee's employment and therefore constitute works for hire and shall
automatically upon their creation become the exclusive property of the Company.
To the extent such items are not works for hire under applicable law, Employee
assigns them and any and all intangible proprietary rights relating thereto to
the Company in their entirety and agrees to execute any and all documents
necessary or desired by the Company to reflect the Company's ownership thereof.
12. Communications Act of 1934. Employee represents and warrants that
neither Employee nor, to the best of Employee's knowledge, information and
belief, any other person, has accepted or agreed to accept, or has paid or
provided or agreed to pay or provide, any money, service or any other valuable
consideration, as defined in Section 507 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, for the broadcast of any matter contained in programs. Employee further
represents and warrants that, during Employee's employment, Employee shall
comply with all legal requirements.
13. Merger or Reorganization. In the event of any merger, consolidation,
dissolution or reorganization of the Company (including but not limited to any
reorganization where the Company is not the surviving or resulting entity), or
any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the
provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding
upon the surviving or resulting partnership or the corporation (or other entity)
or person(s) to which such assets shall be transferred.

14. Remedies. Except as it may elect otherwise, the Company shall have all
rights, powers or remedies provided by law or equity for breach of this
Agreement available to it, it being understood and agreed that no one of them
shall be considered as exclusive of the others or as exclusive of any other
rights, powers and remedies allowed by law. The exercise or partial exercise of
any right, power or remedy shall neither constitute the election thereof nor the
waiver of any other right, power or remedy. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Employee agrees that, in addition to all other rights and
remedies available at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to
enforcement of this Agreement in accordance with the principles of equity
(without bond or undertaking), the remedy at law being hereby agreed and
acknowledged by Employee to be inadequate.

waiver of any subsequent breaches.

consent of Employee, be assigned by the Company to any Related Entity or
