non-solicitation agreement (customers, employees or both) with a current or
former employer. The Company is relying on that representation in making this
offer of employment to you. In the event that this representation is untrue, or
in the event that you have mistakenly advised the Company regarding your
obligations to your prior employer, the Company reserves the right to revoke or
rescind this offer, and to terminate your employment if you have already become
employed at the Company, without penalty. As a condition of your employment at
the Company, you are required, at all times, to not use or disclose the

employment the Company offers you is terminable at will. This means that our
employment relationship is voluntary and based on mutual consent. You may resign
your employment and the Company likewise may terminate your employment, at any
time, for any reason, with or without cause or notice. Any prior oral or written
representations to the contrary are void.

Once again, I am pleased to extend this offer of employment. Should you have any
questions regarding your employment with the Company, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
