    or unknown.     6.   No Admission of Liability/Confidentiality of Agreement.
Executive understands and agrees that this Agreement shall not in any way be
construed as an admission by Employer Group or the Employer Group Released
Parties of any unlawful or wrongful acts whatsoever against Executive or any
other person, and Employer Group and the Employer Group Released Parties
specifically disclaim any liability to or wrongful acts against Executive or any
other person. Executive agrees to keep this Agreement, its terms, and the amount

extent of any public disclosure by the Employer Group of its terms; however,
Executive may disclose the terms of this Agreement and the amount of the Payment
to his spouse, attorneys, financial advisors, or as otherwise required by law.
Accordingly, nothing in this Agreement is intended to preclude Executive or
Employer Group from disclosing information in response to a subpoena issued by a
court of law or upon the request of a government agency having jurisdiction or
power to compel the disclosure. Executive, however, agrees, as required by
paragraph 11 below, to provide Employer Group prompt written notice before
responding to any such subpoena. Further, Executive acknowledges and agrees that
nothing in this Agreement prevents the Employer Group from disclosing the terms
of this Agreement and filing a copy of this Agreement (i) in response to a
subpoena issued by a court of law or a government agency having jurisdiction or
power to compel the disclosure, (ii) in response to a request by a governmental
law enforcement agency or federal or state agency having jurisdiction over the
acts or activities of Employer Group or any of the Employer Group Released

without limitation, the provisions, rules or regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.     7.   No Re-employment. Executive agrees
that he relinquishes any right to reemployment with the Employer Group after the
Effective Date. He further agrees that he will not seek, apply for, accept, or
otherwise pursue employment with the Employer Group. Executive acknowledges that
if he re-applies for or seeks employment with the Employer Group, the Employer
Group refusal to hire him based on this provision will provide a complete
defense to any claims arising from his attempt to apply for employment.     8.  
Non-Disparagement. Executive agree not to, directly or indirectly, disclose,
communicate, or publish any disparaging, negative, harmful, or disapproving
information, written communications, oral communications, electronic or magnetic

or remarks, of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, “Disparaging
Information”), concerning or related the Employer Group or Employer Group
Released Parties. . Executive understands and acknowledges that this
non-disparagement clause prevents him from disclosing, communicating, or
publishing, directly or indirectly, any Disparaging Information concerning or

Released Parties’ businesses, customers or clients, proprietary or technical
information, documents, operations, inventions, trade secrets, product ideas,
technical information, know-how, processes, plans (including, without
limitation, marketing plans and strategies), specifications, designs, methods of
operation, techniques, technology, formulas, software, improvements, internal or
external audits, internal controls, or any financial, marketing or accounting
information of any nature whatsoever. Further, Executive acknowledges that in
executing this Agreement, he has knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently
waived any free

reasonable period of time to consider this non-disparagement clause, to review
the non-disparagement clause with his attorney, and to consent to this clause
and its terms knowingly and voluntarily. Executive further acknowledges that
this non-disparagement clause is a material term of this Agreement. If Executive
breaches this paragraph 8, Employer Group will not be limited to a damages
remedy, but may seek all other equitable and legal relief including, without
limitation, a temporary restraining order, temporary injunctive relief, a
permanent injunction, together with its attorneys’ fees and costs, against him
and any other persons, individuals, corporations, businesses, groups,
partnerships or other entities acting by, through, under, or in concert with
him. Nothing in this Agreement shall, however, be deemed to prevent Executive
from testifying fully and truthfully in response to a subpoena from any court or
from responding to investigative inquiries from any governmental agency.
Employer Group agrees that the CEO, the COO, the CFO, and the managing directors
of any of the Employer Group entities will refrain from disparaging Executive;

under this Paragraph 10 do not apply to Cliff Rudolph, Jacob Walter, or any
employee or contractor whose employment terminated with Employer Group before
the Effective Date, or who is involuntarily discharged by Employer Group
following the Effective Date.     11.   Cooperation. After his separation from
employment from the Employer Group, Executive agrees to cooperate fully with
Employer Group in connection with the defense or prosecution of any claims,
