	5.	Covenant Not To Compete 


a. As a material part of the consideration for this Agreement, EMPLOYEE agrees to the following covenants not to compete with COMPANY, and
with all of its affiliated companies listed in Exhibit A to this Agreement (“Affiliated Companies”) during his/her employment and for a six (6) month period following the termination of EMPLOYEE’s employment with COMPANY for any
reason; Employee agrees that he/she will not, either solely or jointly with, or as manager or agent for, any person, corporation, trust, joint venture, partnership, or other business entity, directly or indirectly, approach or solicit for business,
accept business from, divert business from, or otherwise interfere with any COMPANY or Affiliated Companies relationship with, any person or entity (or legal successor to such person or entity) that Employee had any direct contact with while
employed by the COMPANY and that: (a) has been a customer of COMPANY or Affiliated Companies at anytime within the six (6) month period prior to EMPLOYEE’s termination; or (b) to whom COMPANY or Affiliated Companies had made a
proposal within the six (6) month period prior to EMPLOYEE’s termination. In the event EMPLOYEE is terminated pursuant to Section 8 subsection (d) the Covenant Not to Compete will be for a period of six (6) months unless
COMPANY elects the option to extend the Covenant Not To Compete up to one (1) year provided the separation agreement in Section 8 subsection (d) provides for compensation up to one (1) year. Anything contrary notwithstanding,
this Paragraph 5 shall survive after the termination or the earlier cancellation of this Agreement. 
 b. Both parties agree that
the restrictions in this section are fair and reasonable in all respects including the length of time that they shall remain in effect and that COMPANY’s employment of EMPLOYEE upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement is fully sufficient
consideration for EMPLOYEE’s obligations under this section. 
 c. If any provisions of this section are ever held by a
Court to be unreasonable, the parties agree that this section shall be enforced to the extent it is deemed to be reasonable. 
  

	6.	No Interference With Employment Relationships 

 EMPLOYEE agrees that, during his/her employment, and for a period of twenty-four (24) months after his/her employment has terminated, for any reason, EMPLOYEE will not, directly or indirectly,
solicit for employment, hire, or offer employment to, or otherwise aid or assist any person or entity other than COMPANY, in soliciting for employment, hiring, or offering employment to: (a) any employee of COMPANY, Affiliated Companies, or any
independent contractor engaged by COMPANY or Affiliated Companies; or (b) any former 

  
 3 








 
employee or independent contractor of COMPANY or Affiliated Companies who was employed, or engaged, by COMPANY or Affiliated Companies within six (6) months before or after the cessation of
EMPLOYEE’s employment. In the event EMPLOYEE hires an employee of COMPANY, COMPANY shall be compensated at a fee equal to 30% of the EMPLOYEE’s first year’s gross compensation. This paragraph 6 also applies to employees of companies
on Exhibit A. 
  

	7.	Equitable Relief And Remedies At Law 

 EMPLOYEE acknowledges that COMPANY would suffer unique and irreparable injury in the event of a breach of the covenants contained in Sections 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement, which breach could not be
adequately compensated by the payment of damages alone. Accordingly in the event of any such breach by EMPLOYEE, EMPLOYEE agrees that this Agreement may be enforced by a decree of specific performance or an injunction without the necessity of
posting a bond in addition to any remedies available at law, including damages arising out of or relating to a breach of those covenants, and that any remedy which COMPANY might have at law would be inadequate by itself. 

 

	8.	Termination of Agreement 


a. Without limitation of any other remedy available to COMPANY, whether in law or in equity, EMPLOYEE’s employment relationship shall
terminate immediately without any further liability of COMPANY to EMPLOYEE, upon written notice from COMPANY to EMPLOYEE, for Just Cause. For purpose of this Agreement, “Just Cause” means: conviction of a crime, moral turpitude, gross
negligence in the performance of duties, intentional failure to perform duties, failure to perform duties as designated in this agreement, insubordination or dishonesty. In the event of EMPLOYEE’s termination pursuant to this Section 8(a),
COMPANY shall have no obligation to pay Base Salary and benefits after date the employment relationship is terminated. 
 b.
EMPLOYEE’s employment relationship shall terminate immediately upon death of EMPLOYEE. 
 c. EMPLOYEE agrees to submit to a
medical examination at any time at COMPANY’s request and expense. The medical examination will be related to EMPLOYEE’s job and consistent with a business necessity of COMPANY. This Agreement may be terminated by COMPANY immediately upon
written notice to EMPLOYEE if the examination reveals that EMPLOYEE is unable to perform the essential functions of this Agreement even with a reasonable accommodation. The Agreement may also be terminated if, for a period of three
(3) consecutive months, EMPLOYEE is unable to perform the essential functions of the Agreement even with a reasonable accommodation. Upon such termination due to medical disability, EMPLOYEE’s compensation shall be continued for three
(3) months from the date of disability. In addition, EMPLOYEE will receive any residual bonus earned but not paid. Residual bonus to be paid in normal course of business

 d. Upon the determination by COMPANY’s Board of Directors that the best interests of
COMPANY would be served, COMPANY shall have the further right to terminate EMPLOYEE’s employment relationship immediately or at any time, at its option upon written notice to EMPLOYEE, without Just Cause. If EMPLOYEE is terminated pursuant to
this Section 8(d), EMPLOYEE shall be entitled to receive only Base Salary and benefits (COMPANY will make six (6) Cobra Payments) for a period of six (6) months following such termination, provided that EMPLOYEE signs the provided
Separation Agreement (similar to the attached separation agreement). If COMPANY’s Board of Directors elect to extend the Covenant Not To Compete up to one (1) year they agree to extend Base Salary and benefits (COMPANY will make twelve
(12) Cobra Payments) up to one (1) year. These payments shall not constitute employment for purpose of Section 5. 

e. Any compensation payable to EMPLOYEE pursuant to this Section 8 following termination pursuant to subsection (d) of this
Section 8 shall be reduced by the amount of any compensation earned by EMPLOYEE in any employment or consulting he/she may undertake during said period that constitutes a violation of Section 7 respecting non-competition. 

f. Upon three months’ prior written notice to COMPANY at any time, EMPLOYEE shall have the right to terminate his/her employment
relationship with COMPANY at his/her option. Upon receipt of such notice, COMPANY shall have the option to terminate EMPLOYEE’s employment relationship immediately upon written notice to EMPLOYEE. In the event of termination pursuant to this
Section 8(f), EMPLOYEE shall be entitled to receive Base Salary and benefits (COMPANY will make three (3) Cobra payments) only through the three (3) month period following EMPLOYEE’s notice of termination. The time period on the
covenant not to compete shall commence at the end of the three (3) month period, and EMPLOYEE shall also be bound by the covenant not to compete during the three (3) month period he/she is receiving Base Salary and benefits. EMPLOYEE shall
be liable for all costs and expenses incurred by COMPANY for the failure to give three (3) months’ notice. 
 g. Upon
termination of this Agreement by COMPANY, EMPLOYEE shall, without a claim for compensation, provide COMPANY with written resignations from any and all offices held by his/her in or at the request of COMPANY, and in the event of his/her failure to do
so, COMPANY is hereby irrevocably authorized to be, or designated as EMPLOYEE’s attorney in fact, to act in his/her name and in his/her behalf to execute such resignations. 

 

	9.	No Restriction on Performance of Services Contemplated by Agreement 

 EMPLOYEE represents and warrants to COMPANY that: (i) he/she is under no contractual or other restriction which would give a third party a legal right to assert that he/she would not be legally
permitted to perform the services contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) by entering into this Agreement he/she has not breached, and by performing the services contemplated by this Agreement, he/she would not breach, any Agreement or duty
relating to proprietary information of another person or entity.
