assets; information about prospects, customers, competitors and suppliers;
information of third parties which PDI is required to maintain as confidential;
as well as any information about PDI or PDI’s business, or which is part of PDFs
business records, unless such information is or becomes readily accessible to
the general public through no fault of Employee (hereinafter “Confidential
Information”). Confidential Information also means any formula, pattern, device
or compilation of information which is used in PDI’s business, is not public
knowledge, and which gives PDI an advantage over its competitors. Employee
acknowledges and recognizes the importance of the protection of PDI’s
Confidential Information, the importance of PDI’s customer relationships, and
the highly competitive nature of PDI’s business. Employee further understands
and acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of any such
Confidential Information would substantially damage and interfere with PDI’s
business and business prospects and may cause irreparable injury to PDI.
Accordingly, to ensure that Employee will not compromise the confidentiality of
PDI’s Confidential Information and/or unfairly compete with PDI by using or
disclosing Confidential Information, Employee hereby expressly agrees that
Confidential Information is the exclusive property of PDI to be held by Employee
in trust and solely for PDI’s benefit, and shall not be used by Employee or
disclosed by Employee to others either during or after Employee’s employment
without PDI’s advance written consent or except where required for Employee to
properly perform Employee’s job duties for PDI. This promise is binding on
Employee regardless of the reasons for the termination of Employee’s employment.
Employee further agrees to comply with all rules, policies and procedures
established by PDI from time to time which are designed to protect and ensure
the continued confidentiality of PDI’s Confidential Information.
4.Employee agrees that, upon the termination of Employee’s employment with PDI
(for any reason), or at any other time that PDI so requests, Employee shall
immediately return to PDI all PDI property, including but not limited to
Confidential Information, including without limitation all records, documents
and other property belonging to PDI or pertaining to PDI’s business. This
Agreement applies to all copies, extracts, reproductions or notes as may have
been made by or provided to Employee. If Employee has stored Confidential
Information on any personal desktops or laptops, Personal Digital Assistants,
mobile/smart phones, external hard drives, “flash” or similar drives, USB
storage devices, FireWire storage devices, digital music players, digital tapes,
floppy discs, CDs, DVDs, memory cards, Zip discs, as well as maintained in
personal email accounts (including web-based email accounts such as Hotmail,
Gmail, Yahoo) and other electronic or online communications applications such as
test messaging, social media (Face Book, My Space, LinkedIn, chat rooms and
similar environments) and all other similar mediums which can be used to store
or transmit electronic data (regardless of whether the medium is owned by PDI,
Employee or a third party, or where the medium is located), then Employee must
make those devices available to PDI or provide access to those accounts or
communications in order to enable PDI to search for such Confidential
Information, and to remove and/or make complete copies of the
medium/communications and all information stored. Employee acknowledges and
agrees that this list is not comprehensive and includes technological
advancements in methods, devices and locations for storing and communicating
data that could include Confidential Information or information covered by this
paragraph. For this purpose, Employee agrees to waive and agrees that he or she
has no expectation of privacy with respect to the various media and
communications referred to in this paragraph.

5.Without further consideration, Employee assigns and transfers to PDI, its
successor and assigns, all rights, title and interest in and to any and all
creations, inventions or works that are or may become legally protected or
recognized as a form of property (including all programs, designs, ideas,
inventions, improvement, writings and other works of authorship, illustrations,
photographs, drawings, sketches, scientific and mathematical models, prints and
any other subject matter that is or may become legally protectable or recognized
as a form of property) that have been conceived, developed, suggested, or
perfected by Employee, either solely or jointly with others, either: (a) during
Employee’s period of employment,

irrespective of whether they were conceived, developed, suggested, or perfected
during Employee’s regular working hours, where such creation, invention or work
is related, directly or indirectly, to PDI’s business or to its research and
development activities; (b) with the use of PDFs time, materials, and/or
facilities; or (c) within one (1) year following the termination of Employee’s
employment if conceived of, developed, or suggested by Employee during
Employee’s employment with PDI or otherwise attributable to Employee’s
employment with PDI and where such creation, invention or work is related,
directly or indirectly, to PDI’s business or its research and development
activities.

6.Employee acknowledges that PDI is engaged in a specialized business involving
highly sensitive information, and PDI and its assigns shall be the sole owner of
all property identified in Section 3. Employee agrees to assist PDI in every
proper way in connection with all such ideas, copyrights, inventions and patents
(at PDI’s reasonable expense). To that end, Employee agrees to execute all
documents for use in applying for copyrights, inventions and patents as PDI may
desire, together with any assignments thereof to PDI or persons designated by
it. Employee understands and agrees that the obligation to assist PDI in
obtaining and enforcing copyrights, inventions and patents shall continue beyond
the termination of Employee’s services for PDI, but PDI shall compensate
Employee at a reasonable rate after termination of services for time actually
spent by Employee at PDI’s request on such assistance. In the event that PDI is
unable, after reasonable effort to secure Employee’s signature on any document
or documents needed to apply for or secure any copyright or patent, for any
reason whatsoever, Employee shall designate and appoint PDI and its duly
authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agent and attorney-in- fact, to act
on behalf of Employee and to execute and file any such application or
applications and to perform all other lawfully permitted acts to further the
prosecution and issuance of copyrights and patents, or similar protection
thereon, which shall have the same legal force and effect as if executed by
Employee.

such employment (for any reason), Employee will neither directly or indirectly
own, manage, operate, control, consult with or be employed by: (i) any sales
services provider serving the biopharmaceutical or medical devices and
diagnostics industries (including any provider of dedicated sales teams, shared
sales teams, clinical teams or combination teams) in any state in which Employee
worked, provided services, or performed employment duties for PDI during
Employee’s last year of employment with PDI and (ii) any commercialization
provider serving the biopharmaceutical or medical devices and diagnostics
industries, that directly competes against a product on which employee worked,
in any state in which Employee worked, provided services, or performed
employment duties for PDI during Employee’s last year of employment with PDI.
Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that the promises contained in this
paragraph are reasonable and necessary to protect PDFs customer and client
relationships and to effectuate the promises made by Employee to maintain PDI’s
Confidential Information in secrecy. Employee agrees that if Employee violates
any of the restrictions contained in this paragraph, the restrictive period
provided for shall be increased by the period of time from the commencement of
any such violation until the time such violation shall be cured by Employee; or,
in the event PDI seeks judicial enforcement of this Agreement, for a period of
one (1) year from the date of any Court order enforcing the Agreement.

Employee hereby acknowledges that Employee’s education, training and experience
are such that Employee’s agreement not to engage, for a temporary period of
time, in the above described activities, will not jeopardize or significantly
interfere with Employee’s ability to secure other gainful employment.
