depends upon the use and protection of a large body of confidential and
proprietary information.  All of such confidential and proprietary information
existing prior hereto, now existing or to be developed in the future will be
referred to in this Agreement as “Confidential Information.”  Confidential

or embodied in a tangible or intangible form) that is (i) related to the
Company’s, Parent’s or Subsidiaries’ current or potential business and (ii) is
not generally available to the public.  Confidential Information includes,

actual or anticipated business, research and development, or existing or future
products or services and that are conceived, developed, acquired, contributed
to, made, or reduced to practice by Executive (either solely or jointly with

Subsidiaries’ part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to
use it only for certain limited purposes.  Without in any way limiting the
provisions of Section 3(a) above, Executive will hold Third Party Information in
the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel
of the Company, Parent or its Subsidiaries who need to know such information in
connection with their work for the Company, Parent or such Subsidiaries) or use,
such Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by a member of the
Board in writing or required to be disclosed pursuant to any applicable law or

customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company, the Parent or
any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, making any negative or
disparaging statements or communications regarding the Company, the Parent or
its Subsidiaries).

(c)           If, at the time of enforcement of this paragraph 4, a court shall
hold that the duration, scope or area of the restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then

existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable
under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or
area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained
herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law.  Executive
acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this paragraph 4 are reasonable,
that he has received good and valuable consideration for said restrictions, and
that he has reviewed the provisions of this Agreement with his legal counsel.

of this paragraph 4, the Company will immediately cease making any further
payments under paragraph 2(a), the Company will immediately cease Executive’s
benefits and entitlements under paragraphs 2(f) and 2(h), and all then
outstanding Vested Options not exercised on the date of Executive’s breach shall
thereupon terminate. Executive and Company acknowledge that the cessation and
termination set forth in the preceding sentence are not an  estimate of or an
agreement as to the damages that would be caused by any breach of Executive’s
obligations under any provisions of this paragraph 4. Executive further
acknowledges that the Company has agreed to provide the payments and benefits
under paragraph 2 in exchange for Executive’s agreement to the provisions of
this paragraph 4. In the event of the breach  by Executive of any of the
provisions of this paragraph 4, the Company would suffer irreparable harm, and
in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor

forth in the first sentence of this paragraph 4(d) and the right to recover
damages from Executive caused by any breach by Executive of this paragraph 4),
the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other

security).  In addition, in the event of a breach  by Executive of this
paragraph 4, the Noncompete Period shall be tolled until such breach or
violation has been duly cured.

search services to companies which do not engage in the Restricted Business,
