    10.  Protection
of the Company’s Business.

     

    (a)   Confidentiality. The
Executive acknowledges that during the course of his employment by the Company
(prior to and during the Employment Term) he has and will occupy a position of
trust and confidence. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the
benefit of the Company and shall not disclose to others or use, whether directly
or indirectly, any Confidential Information regarding the Company, except (i) as
in good faith deemed necessary by the Executive to perform his duties hereunder,
(ii) to enforce any rights or defend any claims hereunder or under any other
agreement to which the Executive is a party, provided that such disclosure
is relevant to the enforcement of such rights or defense of such claims and is
only disclosed in the formal proceedings related thereto, (iii) when required to
do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority
over the business of the Company or by any administrative or legislative body
(including a committee thereof) with jurisdiction to order him to divulge,
disclose or make accessible such information, provided that the Executive
shall give prompt written notice to the Company of such requirement, disclose no
more information than is so required, and cooperate with any attempts by the
Company to obtain a protective order or similar treatment, (iv) as to such
Confidential Information that shall have become public or known in the Company’s
industry other than by the Executive’s unauthorized disclosure, or (v) to the
Executive’s spouse, attorney and/or his personal tax and financial advisors as
reasonably necessary or appropriate to advance the Executive’s tax, financial
and other personal planning (each an “Exempt Person”), provided, however, any
disclosure or use of Confidential Information by an Exempt Person shall be
deemed to be a breach of this Section 10 by the Executive. The Executive shall
take all reasonable steps to safeguard the Confidential Information and to
protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. The Executive
understands and agrees that the Executive shall acquire no rights to any such
Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” shall mean information
about the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective clients
and customers that is not disclosed by the Company and that was learned by the
Executive in the course of his employment by the Company, including, but not
limited to, any proprietary knowledge, trade secrets, data and databases,
formulae, sales, financial, marketing, training and technical information,
client, customer, supplier and vendor lists, competitive strategies, computer
programs and all papers, resumes, and records (including computer records) of
the documents containing such Confidential Information.

     

    (b)   Non-Competition.
During the Employment Term and for the one-year period following the termination
of the Executive’s employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), the
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent
of the Company, provide employment (including self-employment), directorship,
consultative or other services to any business, individual, partner, firm,
corporation, or other entity that competes with any business conducted by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates on the date of the Executive’s
termination of employment or within one year of the Executive’s termination of
employment in the geographic locations where the Company and its subsidiaries or
affiliates engage or propose to engage in such business (the “Business”).
Nothing herein shall prevent the Executive from having a passive ownership
interest of not more than 5% of the outstanding securities of any entity engaged
in the Business whose securities are traded on a national securities
exchange.

    (c)   Non-Solicitation of
Employees. The Executive recognizes that he possesses and will possess
confidential information about other employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries and affiliates relating to their education, experience, skills,
abilities, compensation and benefits, and inter-personal relationships with
customers of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Executive
recognizes that the information he possesses and will possess about these other
employees is not generally known, is of substantial value to the Company and its
subsidiaries and affiliates in developing their business and in securing and
retaining customers, and has been and will be acquired by him because of his
business position with the Company. The Executive agrees that, during the
Restricted Period, he will not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or recruit
any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (a “Current
Employee”) or any person who was an employee of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior

purpose of being employed by him or any other entity, or (ii) hire any Current
Employee or Former Employee.

     

    (d)   Non-Solicitation of
Customers. The Executive agrees that, during the Restricted Period, he
will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or attempt to solicit (i) any party
who is a customer or client of the Company or its subsidiaries, who was a
customer or client of the Company or its subsidiaries at any time during the
twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the date the Executive’s
employment terminates or who is a prospective customer or client that has been
identified and targeted by the Company or its subsidiaries for the purpose of
marketing, selling or providing to any such party any services or products
offered by or available from the Company or its subsidiaries, or (ii) any
supplier or vendor to the Company or any subsidiary to terminate, reduce or
alter negatively its relationship with the Company or any subsidiary or in any
manner interfere with any agreement or contract between the Company or any
subsidiary and such supplier or vendor.

     

    (e)   Property. The
Executive acknowledges that all originals and copies of materials, records and
documents generated by him or coming into his possession during his employment
by the Company or its subsidiaries are the sole property of the Company and its
subsidiaries (“Company Property”). During the Employment Term, and at all times
thereafter, the Executive shall not remove, or cause to be removed, from the
premises of the Company or its subsidiaries, copies of any record, file,
memorandum, document, computer related information or equipment, or any other
item relating to the business of the Company or its subsidiaries, except in
furtherance of his duties under this Agreement. When the Executive’s employment
with the Company terminates, or upon request of the Company at any time, the
Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company all copies of Company Property
in his possession or control.

     

    (f)    Non-Disparagement.
Executive shall not, and shall not induce others to, disparage the Company or
its subsidiaries or affiliates or their past and present officers, directors,
employees or products. “Disparage” shall mean making comments or statements to
the press, the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ employees or any
individual or entity with whom the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates has
a business relationship which would adversely affect in any manner (1) the
business of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates (including any
products or business plans or prospects), or (2) the business reputation of the
Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of their products, or their
past or present officers, directors or employees.

    (g)   Cooperation. Subject
to the Executive’s other reasonable business commitments, following the
Employment Term, the Executive shall be available to cooperate with the Company
and its counsel and provide information with regard to any past, present, or
future legal matters which relate to or arise out of the business the Executive
conducted on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and,
upon presentation of appropriate documentation, the Company shall compensate the
Executive for any out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Executive in
connection therewith.

     

    (h)   Equitable Relief and Other
Remedies. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s
remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of
this Section 10 would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, the
Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened or attempted
breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any
bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific
performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction
or any other equitable remedy which may then be available. In addition, without
limiting the Company’s remedies for any breach of any restriction on the
Executive set forth in this Section 10, except as required by law, the Executive
shall not be entitled to any payments set forth in Section 6 hereof if the
Executive has breached the covenants applicable to the Executive contained in
this Section 10, the Executive will immediately return to the Company any such
payments previously received under Section 6 upon such a breach, and, in the
event of such breach, the Company will have no obligation to pay any of the
amounts that remain payable by the Company under Section 6.

     

    (i)    Reformation. If it is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any
restriction in this Section 10 is excessive in duration or scope or is
unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of that state, it is the intention
of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to
render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state.
The Executive acknowledges that the restrictive covenants contained in this
Section 10 are a condition of this Agreement and are reasonable and valid in
temporal scope and in all other respects.

     

    (j)  
 Liability.
Notwithstanding the provisions in this Section 10, the Executive shall not be
liable for any mistakes of fact, errors of judgment, for losses sustained by the
Company or any subsidiary or for any acts or omissions of any kind, unless
caused by the negligence or willful or intentional misconduct of the Executive
or any person or entity acting for or on behalf of the Executive.

     

    (k)  
Survival of
Provisions. The obligations contained in this Section 10 shall survive in
accordance with their terms the termination or expiration of the Executive’s
employment with the Company and shall be fully enforceable
thereafter.

     

    11.            
Indemnification. The Executive shall be
indemnified to the extent permitted by the Company’s organizational documents
and to the extent allowed by law. The Company shall continue to carry Director’s
and Officer’s Liability Insurance in accordance with that which has been
approved by the Company’s Board in such amounts and at limits no less than the
current policy limits and amounts now in effect.

    12.               Section
Headings and Interpretation. The section headings
used in this Agreement are included solely for convenience and shall not affect,
or be used in connection with, the interpretation of this Agreement. Expressions
of inclusion used in this agreement are to be understood as being without
limitation.

     

    13.               Severability. The provisions of this
Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity of unenforceability of
any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other
provisions hereof.

     

    14.               Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original but all of which together will constitute one and the same
Agreement.

     

    15.               Governing
Law and Venue. The validity,
interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed
by the laws of the state of Arizona without regard to its conflicts of law
principles. The Parties agree irrevocably to submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts located in the state of Arizona, for the purposes of
any suit, action or other proceeding brought by any Party arising out of any
breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby waive, and agree
not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such suit,
action, or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or
proceeding is improper, or that the provisions of this Agreement may not be
enforced in or by such courts.

     

    16.               Entire
Agreement. This
Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, with
respect thereto. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or
implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either
party which is not expressly set forth in this Agreement.

     

    17.       Waiver
and Amendment. No provision of this
Agreement may be modified, amended, waived or discharged unless such waiver,
modification, amendment or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the
Executive and such officer or director as may be designated by the Board. No
waiver by either Party at any time of any breach by the other Party hereto of,
or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed
by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver or similar or dissimilar provisions
or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

     

    18.       Withholding. The Company may withhold
from any and all amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state, local
and foreign taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable
law or regulation.

and warrants to the Company that he has the legal right to enter into this
Agreement and to perform all of the obligations on his part to be performed
hereunder in accordance with its terms and that he is not a party to any
agreement or understanding, written or oral, which could prevent him from
entering into this Agreement or performing all of his obligations
hereunder.
