(ii) the Executive has engaged in any willful misconduct (including any violation of federal securities laws), gross negligence, act of dishonesty, violence or threat of violence, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to result in a material injury to the reputation, business or business relationships of the Public Parent, the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates;

(iii) the Executive has breached: (A) a written policy of the Company, which breach is not cured (if curable) within two (2) days after written notice specifying such breach is given to the Executive by the Company; or (B) any rule of any governmental or regulatory body applicable to the Company;

(iv) the Executive has failed to perform or uphold his duties under this Agreement and/or failed to comply with lawful directives of the Board or an officer of the Public Parent, which failure does not cease within three (3) days after written notice specifying such failure in reasonable detail is given to the Executive by the Company;

(b) As used herein, “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental impairment which, as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith, renders the Executive unable to perform the essential functions of his employment with the Company, even with reasonable accommodation that does not impose an undue hardship on the Company, for more than one hundred and eighty (180) days in any three hundred and sixty-five (365) day period, unless a longer period is required by federal or state law, in which case that longer period would apply.

(c) As used herein, “Good Reason” shall mean that one or more of the following has occurred without the Executive’s written consent:

The Executive agrees that this Agreement shall serve as written notice of resignation in this circumstance.

6.

Protective Covenants. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company has and will be developing intellectual property, Trade Secrets and Confidential Information to assist it in its business. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that he is bringing such property, secrets and information to the Company, including substantial relationships with prospective or existing customers, as well as customer good will associated. The Company employs or will employ Executive in a position of trust and confidence, and may provide Executive with extraordinary or specialized information and/or training in furtherance of Executive's duties for the Company. Executive therefore acknowledges and agrees that the Company has a right to protect these legitimate business interests, including without limitation the intellectual property, Trade Secrets and Confidential Information which Executive is bringing to the Company. Therefore, in consideration for the Company's decision to employ or continue to employ Executive; for the compensation and benefits provided to the Executive by the Company under this Agreement; in consideration of the time, investment and cost the Company has incurred and will continue to incur to train Executive and enhance his skills, including, without limitation, extraordinary or specialized training; access to Trade Secrets or Confidential Information; and the Company permitting Executive to come into contact with its customers and prospects, the Executive hereby agrees to the protective covenants in this Agreement. The Executive expressly agrees that the covenants in this Section 6 shall continue in effect through the entire Restricted Period (as defined in Section 6.3) regardless of whether the Executive is then entitled to receive any further payments or benefits from the Company. For purposes of this Section 6, the Company shall mean the Company together with its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates. Further, Executive understands and agrees that the protective covenants contained in this Employment Agreement apply notwithstanding any claim of breach of the Employment. It is further understood that the covenants contained in Section 6.3 and Section 6.4 survive the term of this Agreement and bind the Executive so long as he is employed by the Company and including the two (2) years subsequent to the termination of that employment.

6.1

Confidential Information.

(a) The Executive agrees at all times to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company, any of the Company’s Trade Secrets or Confidential Information or to disclose to any person, firm or entity any of the Company’s Trade Secrets or Confidential Information except (i) as authorized in writing by the Company’s Board, (ii) as authorized by the Public Company’s management, pursuant to a written non-disclosure agreement, or (iii) as required by law.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, "Trade Secrets" shall mean any of the information, without regard to for, including, but not limited to, records, medical information, technical or non-technical data, a formula, a pattern, a compilation, a program, a device, a method, a technique, a drawing, a process, financial data, financial plans, product plans, or a list of actual or potential customers or suppliers, which is not commonly known by or available to the public and which information (A) derives economic value, actual or potential, form not being generally known to and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (B) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean any data and information (A) relating to the business of the Company, regardless of whether the data or information constitutes a Trade Secret; (B) disclosed to Executive or of which he/she became aware of as a consequence of Executive's relationship with the Company; (C) having value to the Company; (D) not generally known to competitors of the Company; and (E) which includes Trade Secrets, methods of operation, names of customers, price lists, financial information and projections, route books, personnel data, and similar information; provided, however, that Confidential Information shall not mean data or information which has been voluntarily disclosed to the public by the Company, except where such public disclosure has been made by Executive without authorization from the Company, which has been independently developed and disclosed by others, or which has otherwise entered the public domain through lawful means.

(b) The Executive agrees that he will not, during the term of this Agreement, knowingly improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer or other person or entity and that he will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to any such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.

6.2

No Competing Employment.The Executive acknowledges that the nature of the Company’s business and Executive’s position with the Company is such that if the Executive were to become substantially involved in the business of a competitor of the Company during the Term, it would be very difficult for the Executive not to rely on or use the Company’s trade secrets and Confidential Information. Thus, to avoid the inevitable disclosure of the Company’s Trade Secrets and Confidential Information, and to protect such Trade Secrets and Confidential Information and the Company’s relationships and goodwill with customers, during the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not directly, or by assisting others, engage in the business of the Company or the proposed business of the Company (the “Business”); provided, that the Executive may purchase and hold only for investment purposes less than two percent (2%) of the shares of any Company in competition with the Company whose shares are regularly traded on a national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system. The parties acknowledge and agree that, if necessary to determine the reasonable geographic scope of this restraint, the Company may rely on appropriate documentation and evidence outside the provisions of this Agreement.

6.3

Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period ending two (2) years following Executive’s termination of employment with the Company (the “Restricted Period”), to protect the Company’s relationship with its employees, the Executive shall not directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit, encourage, take away, or hire (or attempt any of the foregoing actions) or otherwise cause (or attempt to cause) any officer, representative, agent, director, employee or independent contractor of the Company to leave his or her employment or engagement with the Company either for employment with the Executive or with any other entity or person, or otherwise interfere with or disrupt (or attempt to disrupt) the employment or service relationship between any such individual and the Company. The Executive will not be deemed to have violated this Section 6.3 if employees respond to general advertisements for employment or if the Board provides unanimous prior written consent to the activities of the Executive (all such requests for consent will be given good faith consideration by the Board).

6.4

Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, directly or by assisting others, take any action to misappropriate Trade Secrets or Confidential Information for the purpose of soliciting, diverting, communicating with or contacting any customers or prospective customers of the Company. This specifically includes customer lists, customer information, or other information of the Company that qualifies as a Trade Secret or Confidential Information.

6.5

Non-Disparagement. The Executive agrees that at no time during his employment with the Company or thereafter shall he make, or cause or assist any other person to make, any statement or other communication to any third party which impugns or attacks, or is otherwise critical of, the reputation, business or character of the Company or any of its affiliates, or any of its respective directors, officers, representatives, agents or employees. The Company agrees, in turn, that it will not make, in any authorized corporate communications to third parties, and it will direct the members of the Board of the Company, not to make, cause or assist any other person to make, any statement or other communication to any third party which impugns or attacks, or is otherwise critical of, the reputation, business or character of the Executive.

6.6

Returning Company Documents. The Executive agrees that at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, he will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in his possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence (including emails), specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, materials, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any items developed by Executive pursuant to his employment with the Company or otherwise belonging to the Company, its successors or assigns, including, but not limited to, those records maintained pursuant to Section 6.2(c). The Executive is not required to return any personal items; documents, files, or materials containing personal information (except to the extent such materials also contain Trade Secrets or Confidential Information); or documents or agreements of which he is a party.

6.7

Confidentiality of Agreement. The Executive agrees that, except as may be required by applicable law or legal process, during his employment with the Company and thereafter, he shall not disclose the terms of this Agreement to any person or entity other than the Executive’s accountants, financial advisors, attorneys or spouse, provided that such accountants, financial advisors, attorneys and spouse agree not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any other person or entity.

6.8

Understanding of Covenants. The Executive represents that he (i) is familiar with the foregoing confidentiality, invention assignment, non-solicitation, non-competition and nondisparagement covenants, (ii) is fully aware of his obligations hereunder, (iii) agrees to the reasonableness of the length of time, scope and geographic coverage of the foregoing covenants, and (iv) agrees that such covenants are necessary to protect the Company’s confidential and proprietary information, good will, stable workforce, and customer relations. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonable in time, scope and in all other respects; that such covenants shall be construed as agreements independent of each other and of any provision of this or any other contract between the parties hereto; that should any part or provision of any covenant be held invalid, void or unenforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability shall not render invalid, void or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement. If any portion of the foregoing provisions is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because its duration, the territory, the definition of activities or the definition of information covered is considered to be invalid or unreasonable in scope, the invalid or unreasonable term shall be redefined, or a new enforceable term provided, such that the intent of the Company and Executive in agreeing to the provisions of this Agreement will not be impaired and the provision in question shall be enforceable to the fullest extent of the applicable laws; and that the existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive against the Company, whether predicated upon this or any other contract, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of said covenants.

6.9

Remedy for Breach. The Executive agrees that a breach of any of the covenants of this Section 6 would cause material and irreparable harm to the Company that would be difficult or impossible to measure, and that damages or other legal remedies available to the Company for any such injury would, therefore, be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if he breaches any term of this Section 6, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to and without limitation upon all other remedies the Company may have under this Agreement, at law or otherwise, to obtain injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief, without bond or other security, to restrain any such breach. Claims for damages and equitable relief in any court shall be available to the Company in lieu of, or prior to or pending determination in any arbitration proceeding. In the event the enforceability of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be challenged in court and the Executive is not enjoined from breaching any of the protective covenants, then if a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the challenged protective covenant is enforceable, the time periods shall be deemed tolled upon the filing of the lawsuit challenging the enforceability of this Agreement until the dispute is finally resolved and all periods of appeal have expired.

7.

Defense of Claims. The Executive agrees that, during the term hereof, and for a period of five (5) years after termination of the Executive’s employment, upon request from the Company, the Executive will cooperate with the Company in the defense of any claims or actions that may be made by or against the Company that affect the Executive’s prior areas of responsibility, except if the Executive’s reasonable interests are adverse to the Company in such claim or action. The Company agrees that it shall reimburse the reasonable out of pocket costs and attorney fees the Executive actually incurs in connection with him providing such assistance or cooperation to the Company, in accordance with the Company’s standard policies and procedures as in effect from time to time, provided that the Executive shall have obtained prior written approval from the Company for any travel or legal fees and expenses incurred by him in connection with his obligations under this Section 7.

8.

Source of Payments. All payments provided under this Agreement, other than payments made pursuant to a plan which provides otherwise, shall be paid in cash from the general assets of the Company, and no special or separate fund shall be established, and no other segregation of assets shall be made, to assure payment. The Executive shall have no right, title or interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid the Company in meeting its obligations hereunder. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured creditor of the Company.

9.

Withholding. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold (or cause there to be withheld, as the case may be) from any amounts otherwise due or payable under or pursuant to this Agreement such federal, state and local income, employment, or other taxes or other amounts as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law, regulation or contract.

10.

Assignment; Binding Effect.

(a) By the Executive. This Agreement and any and all rights, duties, obligations or interests hereunder shall not be assignable or delegable by the Executive.

(b) By the Company. This Agreement and all of the Company’s rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable by the Company except: (i) as incident to a reorganization, merger or consolidation, or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or (ii) that the Company may pledge, collaterally assign, assign or grant a security interest in its rights hereunder to any of its affiliates or any of its or its affiliates’ financing sources or lenders without any other party’s prior consent.

(c) Binding Effect. Subject to Section 10(a) and Section 10(b), this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto, any successors to or assigns of the Company and the Executive’s heirs and the personal representatives of the Executive’s estate.

12.

13.

14.

Survival of Certain Provisions. The rights and obligations set forth in Sections 5, 6, 7, 9, 13, 15 and 17 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
