(b) Solicitation of Employees
. During the Restricted Period, the Employee agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, for his benefit or for the benefit of any other person, firm or entity, do any of the following:
(1) solicit from any customer doing business with the Company as of the date of termination that is known to Employee, business of the same or of a similar nature to the business of the Company with such customer;

(3) solicit the employment or services of any person who was known to be employed by or was a known consultant to the Company upon the Date of Termination, or within six (6) months prior thereto; or
(4) otherwise knowingly interfere with the business or accounts of the Company.
The Employee and the Company agree and acknowledge that the Company has a substantial and legitimate interest in protecting the Company’s Confidential Information and goodwill. The Employee and the Company further agree and acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 6 are reasonably necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests and are designed to protect the Company’s Confidential Information and goodwill.
The Employee agrees that the scope of the restrictions as to time, geographic area, and scope of activity in this Section 6 are reasonably necessary for the protection of the Company’s legitimate business interests and are not oppressive or injurious to the public interest. The Employee agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 6 the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief against the Employee’s activities to the extent allowed by law, and the Employee waives any requirement for the posting of any bond by the Company in connection with such action. The Employee further agrees that any breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 6 would cause injury to the Company for which monetary damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy.
(c) Enforceability
. The covenants set forth in Section 6(a) and 6(b) shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the Company or against any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of any of such covenants. Employee expressly waives any right to assert inadequacy of consideration as a defense to enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 6. Employee and the Company hereby acknowledge that it is the desire and intent of Employee and the Company, and Employee and the Company hereby agree, that the terms and provisions of this Section 6 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
(d) Publicity. The Employee agrees that the Company may use, and hereby grants the Company the nonexclusive and worldwide right to use, the Employee’s name, picture, likeness, photograph, signature or any other attribute of the Employee’s persona (all of such attributes are hereafter collectively referred to as “Persona”) in any media for any advertising, publicity or other purpose at any time, either during or subsequent to his employment by the Company. The Employee agrees that such use of his Persona will not result in any invasion or violation of any privacy or property rights the Employee may have; and the Employee agrees that he will receive no additional compensation for the use of his Persona. The Employee further agrees that any negatives, prints or other material for printing or reproduction purposes prepared in connection with the use of his Persona by the Company shall be and are the sole property of the Company.

7. Confidentiality.
(a) Covenants
. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee has been and will continue to be entrusted with trade secrets and proprietary information regarding Inventions (as defined in the Proprietary Information and Invention Assignment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B), the products, processes, know-how, designs, formulas, marketing techniques and future business plans, customer lists and information concerning the identity, needs and desires of actual and potential customers of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates, competitive analyses, pricing policies, the substance of agreements with customers and others, marketing or concession arrangements, servicing and training programs and arrangements, developmental or experimental work, improvements, inventions, formulas, ideas, designs, computer programs, data bases, other original works of authorship, financial information or other subject matter pertaining to any business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, consultants or licensees and all documents embodying such confidential information (collectively, “Confidential Information”), all of which derives significant economic value from not being generally known by others outside the Company. In connection with the foregoing, Employee specifically acknowledges (a) that the customer lists of the Company are confidential and not readily known by the Company’s competitors, (b) that such customers are particularly important to the Company’s business, (c) that business relationships between such customers and the Company normally would continue unless interfered with and (d) that solicitation of such customers by Employee, following termination of Employee’s employment under this Agreement, would cause injury to the Company’s business.
During the Term and thereafter during the Restricted Period, except for the sole benefit of the Company or with the express written consent of the Board of Directors, Employee shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, disclose to or permit to be known by any person, firm, corporation or other form of entity any Confidential Information acquired by Employee during the course of or as an incident to Employee’s employment under this Agreement, or as a result of Employee’s association with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, whether or not relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any corporation, partnership or other entity owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any of the foregoing, or in which any of the foregoing has a beneficial interest, including the business affairs of each of the foregoing, except as required by law to be disclosed (in which case Employee first shall give the Company written notice of such requirement reasonably in advance of such anticipated required disclosure and shall assist the Company in obtaining a protective order or confidential treatment to the extent requested by the Company). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that was in the public domain at the time of disclosure to Employee or that comes lawfully into the public domain without breach of this Agreement.
Exhibit 10.2 -- Page 9
(b) Enforceability
. The covenants set forth in Section 7 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision of this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of any of such covenants. Employee expressly waives any right to assert inadequacy of consideration as a defense to enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 7. Employee and the Company hereby acknowledge that it is the desire and intent of Employee and the Company, and Employee and the Company hereby agree, that the terms and provisions of this Section 7 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
