Unless otherwise provided by Section 9(f), all compensation and benefits paid by Company to Executive under this Agreement shall cease upon the Date of Termination.

10. DISCLOSURE OF TRADE SECRETS AND OTHER PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.

The Company will provide Executive with valuable confidential information belonging to the Company or its subsidiaries or its affiliates above and beyond any confidential information previously received by Executive and will associate Executive with the goodwill of the Company or its subsidiaries or its affiliates above and beyond any prior association of Executive with that goodwill. In return, Executive promises never to disclose or misuse such confidential information and never to misuse such goodwill. This Section 10(a) shall not apply to the extent that such confidential information of the Company is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Executive or if Executive is compelled to disclose confidential information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any company traded on any national securities exchange if Executive does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such company.

(c) Executive will not, during the Employment Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, directly or indirectly, work in Arizona as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, manager, stockholder, officer, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity for any person or entity who is competitive with the Business of the Company, except for those permitted business obligations of Executive as set forth in Exhibit B hereto or those that may otherwise be pre-approved by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any company traded on any national securities exchange if Executive does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such company. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive is also a party to that certain Non-Competition Agreement of even date herewith in favor of AZDP on the terms set forth therein.

(d) Executive will not, during the Employment Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, on her behalf or on behalf of any other business enterprise, directly or indirectly, under any circumstance other than at the direction and for the benefit of the Company, (i) solicit for employment or hire any person employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) call on, solicit, or take away any person or entity who was a customer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates during Executive’s employment with the Company, in either case for a business that is competitive with the Business of the Company.

(e) It is expressly agreed by Executive that the nature and scope of each of the provisions set forth above are reasonable and necessary. If, for any reason, any aspect of the above provisions as it applies to Executive is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable law, the provisions shall be modified to the extent required to make the provisions enforceable. Executive acknowledges and agrees that her services are of unique character and expressly grants to the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or any successor of any of them, the right to enforce the above provisions through the use of all remedies available at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief.

11. COMPANY PROPERTY.

(a) Any patents, inventions, discoveries, applications, processes, models or financial statements designed, devised, planned, applied, created, discovered or invented by Executive during the Employment Term, regardless of when reduced to writing or practice, which pertain to any aspect of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ Business shall be the sole and absolute property of the Company, and Executive shall promptly report the same to the Company and promptly execute any and all documents that may from time to time be reasonably be requested by the Company to assure the Company the full and complete ownership thereof.

(b) All records, files, lists, including computer generated lists, drawings, documents, equipment and similar items relating to the Company’s Business which Executive shall prepare or receive from the Company shall remain the Company’s sole and exclusive property. Upon termination of this Agreement, Executive shall promptly return to the Company all property of the Company in her possession. Executive further represents that she will not copy or cause to be copied, print out or cause to be printed out any software, documents or other materials originating with or belonging to the Company except as needed to perform the Services under this Agreement. Executive additionally represents that, upon termination of her employment with the Company, she will not retain in her possession any such software, documents or other materials.

12. EQUITABLE RELIEF. It is mutually understood and agreed that Executive’s services are special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and of an intellectual character giving them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law. Accordingly, in the event of any breach of this Agreement by Executive, including, but not limited to, the breach of any of the provisions of paragraphs 10 or 11 hereof, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction or otherwise in addition to any damages which the Company may be entitled to recover.

13. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE; ARBITRATION. The Executive hereby consents and agrees that the State of Arizona shall have personal jurisdiction and proper venue with respect to any dispute between the Executive and the Company. In any dispute with the Company, the Executive will not raise, and hereby expressly waives, any objection or defense to any such jurisdiction as an inconvenient forum. Executive and the Company agree that all disputes and claims of any nature that Executive may have against the Company including all statutory, contractual, and common law claims (including all employment discrimination claims), and all other disputes and claims of any nature that the Company may have against Executive, shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, Section 8.10.

The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

16. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENT; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES. Neither this Agreement, nor any of Executive’s rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder, may be assigned by Executive. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Executive and her heirs and legal representatives and the Company and its successors. Successors of the Company shall include, without limitation, any corporation or corporations acquiring, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase, lease or otherwise, and such successor shall thereafter be deemed “the Company” for the purpose hereof.

17. NO WAIVER BY ACTION. Any waiver or consent from the Company respecting any term or provision of this Agreement or any other aspect of the Executive’s conduct or employment shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and shall not be deemed, regardless of frequency given, to be a further or continuing waiver or consent. The failure or delay of the Company at any time or times to require performance of, or to exercise any of its powers, rights or remedies with respect to, any term or provision of this Agreement or any other aspect of the Executive’s conduct or employment in no manner (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) shall affect the Company’s right at a later time to enforce any such term or provision.

18. COUNTERPARTS; GOVERNING LAW; AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may be executed in two counterpart copies, each of which may be executed by one of the parties hereto, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single agreement binding upon all of the parties hereto. This Agreement and all other aspects of the Executive’s employment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws pertaining in the State of Delaware (other than those that would defer to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction). Each and every modification and amendment of this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, and any waiver of, or consent to any departure from, any term or provision of this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by each affected party hereto.

20. Severability.

In the event that the time period or scope of any provision is declared by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time period or scope that such court or arbitrator deems enforceable, then such court or arbitrator shall reduce the time period or scope to the maximum time period or scope permitted by law.

21. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
