Employee as an independent contractor. The parties recognize and agree that a breach by the
Company of this provision would result in the loss to Tatum of the Employees valuable
expertise and revenue potential and that such injury will be impossible or very difficult
to ascertain. Therefore, in the event this provision is breached, Tatum will be entitled to
receive as liquidated damages an amount equal to 45% of the Annualized Compensation (as
defined below), which amount the parties agree is reasonably proportionate to the probable
loss to Tatum and is not intended as a penalty. The amount will be due and payable to Tatum
upon written demand to the Company. If a court or arbitrator
determines that liquidated
damages are not appropriate for such breach, Tatum will have the right to seek actual
damages and/or injunctive relief. Annualized Compensation means the equivalent of the
Employees Salary calculated on a full-time annual basis plus the maximum amount of any
bonus for which the Employee was eligible with respect to the then-current bonus year.6.
    
    Warranties and Disclaimers. It is understood that Tatum does not have a contractual
obligation to the Company other than to provide the Employee to the Company and to provide the Employee access
to Tatums intellectual capital to be used in connection with the Employees employment
relationship with the Company. The Company acknowledges that any information, including any resources delivered
through Tatums proprietary information and technology system, will be provided by Tatum as a tool to
be used in the discretion of the Company. Tatum will not be responsible for any action taken by the
Company in following or declining to follow any of Tatums or the Employees advice or recommendations.

procedures with respect to the Employee becoming a member of Tatum, and the results of the same were
satisfactory to Tatum. Tatum disclaims all other warranties, whether express, implied or statutory.
