above, the Company shall give the Executive written notice thereof which shall specify in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting

ARTICLE IV.

Restrictive Covenants


 


A.           Confidentiality.


 


(i)          Confidential
Information. During the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Company shall grant the Executive otherwise
prohibited access to its trade secrets and confidential information which is not known to the Company’s competitors or within
the Company’s industry generally, which was developed by the Company over a long period of time and/or at its substantial
expense, and which is of great competitive value to the Company, and access to the Company’s customers and clients. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes any trade secrets or confidential or proprietary
information of the Company, including, but not limited to, the following: methods of operation, products, inventions, services,
processes, equipment, know-how, technology, technical data, policies, strategies, designs, formulas, developmental or experimental
work, improvements, discoveries, research, plans for research or future products and services, database schemas or tables, software,
development tools or techniques, training procedures, training techniques, training manuals, business information, marketing and
sales methods, plans and strategies, competitors, markets, market surveys, techniques, production processes, infrastructure, business

and conclusions, information regarding the skills and compensation of employees and contractors of the Company, and other business
information disclosed to the Executive by the Company, either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or by drawings or observation.
“Confidential Information” does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect
to, information that (i) is generally available to the public on the date of this Agreement or (ii) becomes generally available

(ii)         No
Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that Confidential Information is proprietary to and
a trade secret of the Company and, as such, is a special and unique asset of the Company, and that any disclosure or unauthorized
use of any Confidential Information by the Executive will cause irreparable harm and loss to the Company. The Executive understands
and acknowledges that each and every component of the Confidential Information (i) has been developed by the Company at significant
effort and expense and is sufficiently secret to derive economic value from not being generally known to other parties, and (ii)
constitutes a protectable business interest of the Company. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company owns the Confidential
Information. The Executive agrees not to dispute, contest, or deny any such ownership rights either during or after the Executive’s
employment with the Company. The Executive agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of all Confidential Information.
The Executive agrees that the Executive shall not during the period of Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter,
directly or indirectly, disclose to any unauthorized person or use for the Executive’s own account any Confidential Information
without the Company’s consent. Throughout the Executive’s employment with the Company thereafter: (i) the Executive
shall hold all Confidential Information in the strictest confidence, take all reasonable precautions to prevent its inadvertent
disclosure to any unauthorized person, and follow all Company policies protecting the Confidential Information; and (ii) the Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly, utilize, disclose or make available to any other person or entity, any of the Confidential Information,
other than in the proper performance of the Executive’s duties.


 


(iii)        Return
of Property and Information.  Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive
shall immediately return and deliver to the Company any and all Confidential Information, software, devices, cell phones, personal
data assistants, credit cards, data, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, materials, equipment, computers, hard drives, papers,
books, records, documents, memoranda, manuals, e-mail, electronic or magnetic recordings or data, including all copies thereof,
which belong to the Company or relate to the Company’s business and which are in the Executive’s possession, custody
or control, whether prepared by the Executive or others. If at any time after termination of the Executive’s employment the
Executive determines that the Executive has any Confidential Information in the Executive’s possession or control, the Executive
shall immediately return to the Company all such Confidential Information in the Executive’s possession or control, including
all copies and portions thereof.

B.           Restrictive
Covenants. In consideration for (i) the Company’s promise to provide Confidential Information to the Executive, (ii)
the substantial economic investment made by the Company in the Confidential Information and goodwill of the Company, and/or the
business opportunities disclosed or entrusted to the Executive, (iii) access to the Company’s customers and clients, and
(iv) the Company’s employment of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement and the compensation and other benefits provided
by the Company to the Executive, to protect the Company’s Confidential Information and business goodwill of the Company,
the Executive agrees to the following restrictive covenants.


 


(i)          Non-Competition.
The Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period (defined below), other than in connection with the Executive’s duties
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, services to affiliates of the Company), the Executive shall not, and shall
not use any Confidential Information to, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, either individually
or as a principal, partner, stockholder, manager, agent, consultant, contractor, distributor, employee, lender, investor, or as
a director or officer of any corporation or association, or in any other manner or capacity whatsoever, become employed by, control,
manage, carry on, join, lend money for, operate, engage in, establish, perform services for, invest in, solicit investors for,
consult for, do business with or otherwise engage in any Competing Business. Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this
Article IV.B.(i), the Executive may own an aggregate of not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of any class
of any corporation engaged in a Competing Business, if such stock is listed on a national securities exchange in the United States
(or a comparable exchange in a foreign jurisdiction) or regularly traded in the over-the-counter market by a member of a national
securities exchange in the United States, without violating the provisions of Article IV.B.(i).


 


For purposes of this Agreement:


 


(a)          “Restricted
Period” means during the Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately
following the date of Executive’s termination from employment for any reason.


 


(b)          “Competing
Business” means any business, individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity that is competing with any
aspect of the Company’s business.

or prospective customer, client, supplier (including any content providers), manufacturer, vendor or licensor of the Company with

the Executive’s employment with the Company; (2) the Executive learned of as a result of the Executive’s employment
with the Company; or (3) about whom the Executive received Confidential Information. This restriction applies only to business
which is in the scope of services or products provided by the Company or any affiliate thereof; or


 


(b)          Solicit,
induce or attempt to solicit or induce, engage or hire, on behalf of the Executive or any other person or entity, any person who

C.           Works.


 


(i)          Assignment
of Work Product. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Work Product” shall mean, collectively,
all work product, information, inventions, original works of authorship, ideas, know-how, processes, designs, computer programs,
photographs, illustrations, developments, trade secrets and discoveries, including improvements thereto, that the Executive conceives,
creates, develops, makes, reduces to practice, or fixes in a tangible medium of expression, either alone or with others. During
the Executive’s employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of the Executive’s
employment for any reason, the Executive agrees that the Executive shall promptly make full written disclosure to the Company of
all Work Product conceived, created, developed, made, reduced to practice, or fixed in a tangible medium of expression during the
period of the Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive hereby assigns and shall be deemed to have assigned to the
Company or its designee, all of the Executive’s right, title, and interest in and to any and all Work Product conceived,
created, developed, made, reduced to practice, or fixed in a tangible medium of expression during the period of the Executive’s
employment the Company that (a) relates in any manner to the previous, existing or contemplated business, work, or investigations
of the Company; (b) is or was suggested by, has resulted or will result from, or has arisen or will arise out of any work that
the Executive has done or may do for or on behalf of the Company; (c) has resulted or will result from or has arisen or will arise
out of any materials or information that may have been disclosed or otherwise made available to the Executive as a result of duties
assigned to the Executive by the Company; or (d) has been or will be otherwise made through the use of the Company’s time,
information, facilities, or materials, even if conceived, created, developed, made, reduced to practice, or fixed during other
than working hours. The Executive further acknowledges that all original works of authorship that have been or will be made or
fixed in a tangible medium of expression by the Executive (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of the Executive’s
employment with the Company that are protectable by copyright are “Works Made for Hire,” as that term is defined in
the United States Copyright Act. The Executive understands and agrees that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market
any Work Product is within the Company’s sole discretion and for the Company’s sole benefit, and that no royalty will
be due to the Executive as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Work Product.


 






    	6



    	 



    

 


(ii)         Patent
and Copyright Registrations. The Executive agrees to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s expense,
in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in Work Product in any and all countries, including the disclosure to
the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths,
assignments, affidavits, and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such
rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title
and interest in and to such Work Product. The Executive further agrees that the Executive’s obligation to execute or cause
to be executed, when it is in the Executive’s power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination
of this Agreement.


 


D.           Tolling.
If the Executive violates any of the restrictions contained in this Article IV, the Restricted Period shall be suspended
and shall not run in favor of the Executive from the time of the commencement of any violation until the time when the Executive
cures the violation to the satisfaction of the Company.


 


E.           Remedies.
The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Article IV of this Agreement, in view of the nature of the
Company’s business and the Executive’s position with the Company, are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s
legitimate business interests and that any violation of Article IV of this Agreement would result in irreparable injury
to the Company. In the event of a breach by the Executive of Article IV of this Agreement, then the Company shall be entitled
to a temporary restraining order and injunctive relief restraining the Executive from the commission of any breach. Such remedies
shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach or threatened breach of this Article IV but shall be in addition
to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from the Executive, the Executive’s agents,
any future employer of the Executive, and any person that conspires or aids and abets the Executive in a breach or threatened breach
of this Agreement.


 


F.           Reasonableness.
The Executive hereby represents to the Company that the Executive has read and understands, and agrees to be bound by, the terms
of this Article IV. The Executive acknowledges that the geographic scope and duration of the covenants contained in this
Article IV are fair and reasonable in light of (i) the nature and wide geographic scope of the operations of the Company’s
business; (ii) the Executive’s level of control over and contact with the business in the Restricted Area; and (iii) the
amount of compensation, trade secrets and Confidential Information that the Executive is receiving in connection with the Executive’s
employment by the Company.


 


G.           Reformation.
If any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic
area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the Parties intend for the restrictions herein set forth to be modified by the court
making such determination so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced. By agreeing to this
contractual modification prospectively at this time, the Company and the Executive intend to make this provision enforceable under
the law or laws of all applicable jurisdictions so that the entire agreement not to compete and this Agreement as prospectively
modified shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be rendered void or illegal.


 






    	7



    	 



    

 


H.           No
Previous Restrictive Agreements. The Executive represents that, except as disclosed to the Company, the Executive is not
bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from using or disclosing any trade secret
or confidential or proprietary information in the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company or to refrain from
competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party. The Executive further represents
that the Executive’s performance of all the terms of this Agreement and the Executive’s work duties for the Company
do not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by the Executive
in confidence or in trust prior to the Executive’s employment with the Company. The Executive shall not disclose to the Company
or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or others.
