currently or in the past by the Company in connection with any product or service, whether or not such use would be in a business competitive with that of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the following
activities shall not be deemed to be a violation of the provisions of this Section: the ownership or control by the Executive of up to five percent of the outstanding voting securities or securities of any publicly traded class of a company with a
class of securities which are publicly traded. 
 11. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Executive acknowledges that the intellectual property and
all other confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Company’s engagement in the business of distributing medical supplies, equipment and services throughout the United States of America (the “Business”) are valuable,
special and unique. The Executive shall not, at any time after the date hereof, except as an employee or agent of the Company, or except as required by applicable law, disclose, directly or indirectly, to any person or entity, or use or purport to
authorize any person or entity to use any confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Company or the Business, whether or not for his own benefit, without the prior written consent of the Company, including without limitation,
confidential or proprietary information as to the financial condition, results of operations, strategic partners, customers, suppliers, products, products under development, services, inventions, sources, leads or methods of obtaining new products
or business, intellectual property, pricing methods or formulas, cost of supplies, marketing strategies or any other information relating to the Company or the Business, but not including information which is or shall become generally available to
the public or is generally known in the industry other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure by the Executive or a person or entity to whom the Executive has provided such information. The Executive acknowledges that Company would not enter
into this Employment Agreement without the assurance that all such confidential and/or proprietary information will be used for the exclusive benefit of the Company. 
 12. NONDISPARAGEMENT. Neither the Executive nor the Company shall (and shall cause the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, partners, representatives and agents of any entity or business
directly or indirectly controlled by the Executive and the Company to not) commit any act or omission that would tend to disparage or adversely affect the reputation of the other party or any present or future subsidiaries, parents or affiliates of
the other party or any of their respective principals, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, employees, businesses or operations. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Executive and the Company shall not
(and shall cause the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, partners, representatives and agents of 

  

 -5- 








 
any entity or business directly or indirectly controlled by the Executive and the Company to not) make any disparaging or unfavorable statements to any third
party, either orally or in writing, regarding the other party or any present or future subsidiaries, parents or affiliates of the other party or any of their respective principals, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, employees,
businesses or operations. 
 13. ENFORCEABILITY OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. The restrictions set forth in this Agreement are considered
by the parties hereto to be reasonable for the purposes of protecting the value of the business and goodwill of the Company and the Business. The parties acknowledge that the Company would be irreparably harmed and that monetary damages would not
provide an adequate remedy to the Company in the event the covenants contained in this Agreement were not complied with in accordance with their terms. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach by him of any provision of
this Agreement shall entitle the Company to seek injunctive and other equitable relief to secure the enforcement of these provisions, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to them, and that they shall be entitled to receive from
the Executive reimbursement for all attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Company in enforcing these provisions. In addition to its other rights and remedies, the Company shall have the right to require the Executive, if he breaches any
of the covenants contained in this Agreement to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, money, accruals and other benefits derived or received, directly or indirectly, by such party from the action constituting such
breach. If the Executive breaches the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement, the running of the time periods described therein shall be tolled for so long as such breach continues. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the
provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any provisions of this Agreement relating to the time period, scope of activities
or geographic area of restrictions is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum permissible time period, such time period, scope of activities and/or geographic area, as the case may be, shall be reduced to the maximum that
such court deems enforceable. If any provisions of this Agreement other than those described in the preceding sentence are adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed amended (with respect only
to the jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made) in such manner as to render them enforceable and to effectuate as nearly as possible the original intentions and agreement of the parties. 
 14. OTHER AGREEMENTS. Executive represents that his employment hereunder shall not violate any terms or conditions of the Executive’s
employment with any prior employer or any other agreement with the Company. 
 15. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be
given under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and shall be effective when received if sent, postage-prepaid, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight delivery service against receipt, to the addresses
below or to such other address as either party shall designate by written notice to the other:
