ARTICLE 4 
NON-COMPETITION;
CONFIDENTIALITY 



    4.1        During
the term of this Agreement, the Executive may make passive investments in companies
generally involved in the Internet industry in which the Company operates, subject to the
terms of paragraph 4.3 hereof, and provided any such investment does not exceed a 5%

Page 2 of 10  










    4.3
       During
the term of this Agreement and for one year following termination of this Agreement, the
Executive shall not own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, participate in, or be
connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any
business which is directly engaged in the type of business conducted by the Employer at
the time this Agreement terminates. In the event of the Executive’s actual or
threatened breach of this paragraph, the Employer shall be entitled to a preliminary
restraining order and injunction restraining the Executive from violating its provisions.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit the Employer from pursuing any
other available remedies for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
damages from the Executive. Employee agrees that this one year restriction is reasonable
in scope. Executive and Employer agree that Executive’s practice of medicine and
knowledge of an involvement in the medical community for people living with disabilities
is beneficial to the Employer and that Executive’s continued practice of medicine,
involvement in Colorado Catheter Company, involvement in the medical community, academic
writing, and product research and development do not constitute a breach of this
paragraph 4.3.  



    4.4        Executive
agrees that unless otherwise agreed to in writing between Executive and Employer, upon
request or at the time of leaving the employ of Employer he will deliver to the Employer
(and will not keep in his possession, recreate, or deliver to anyone else) any and all
books, records, files, forms, memoranda, letters, notes, notebooks, papers, agreements,
business plans, marketing and media plans, financial statements and records, customer and
supplier lists and identities, customer information accounts, data, notes, reports,
proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings, flow-charts, blueprints,
sketches, materials, programs, equipment, other documents, writings, recordable
electronic media and similar materials or property, or reproductions of any
aforementioned items developed by him within the scope of and pursuant to his employment
with Employer or otherwise belonging to the Employer, its successors, or assigns.
Executive agrees that such property is the exclusive property of Employer.  



    4.5
       In
the event that Executive leaves the employ of Employer, Executive hereby grants consent
to written notification by Employer to his new employer about his rights and obligations
under this Agreement. A copy of such written notification will be provided to Executive
at the same time it is provided to his new employer.  



    4.6        Employer
Information.  Executive agrees at all times during the term of his employment and
thereafter to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the
Employer, or to disclose, make known, divulge or communicate, directly or indirectly, to
any person, firm, corporation or other entity without the prior written authorization of
the Employer, any Confidential Information of the Employer. Executive understands that
all Confidential Information is the sole and exclusive property of the Employer or of
third parties whose rights the Employer wishes to protect. Executive will be vigilant in
protecting all Confidential Information from disclosure to unauthorized persons and will
comply with all rules and instructions of the Employer concerning the physical,
intellectual, and electronic security of the Employer’s premises, property and
records. Executive understands that “Confidential Information” means,
without limitation, any Employer proprietary information, intellectual property, patents,
trademarks, copyrights, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not
limited to, research, methods, business plans, products, services, price lists, customer
lists, customer information and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of
the Employer on whom Employee called or with whom Employee became acquainted during the
term of his employment), markets, software, developments, inventions, processes,
formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information,
marketing, finances, third party information or products, or other business information
disclosed to Executive by the Employer either directly or indirectly, whether orally, in
writing, or by drawings or observation of parts or equipment. Executive understands that
the Board of Directors of Employer may from time to time reasonably designate as
Confidential Information other subject matters requiring confidentiality and secrecy
which shall be deemed to be covered by the terms of this Agreement. Executive further
understands that Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items
which has become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of
his or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items
involved.  



Page 3 of 10  











         
          b.       
          Third Party Information.  Executive recognizes that the Employer has
          received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or
          proprietary information subject to a duty on the Employer’s part to
          maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain
          limited purposes. Executive agrees to hold all such confidential or proprietary
          information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any natural
          person, firm, or corporation or other entity or to use it except as necessary in
          carrying out his work for the Employer consistent with the Employer’s
          agreement with such third party. 



         
          d.       
          In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of the provisions
          of this paragraph 4.7, the Employer shall be entitled to an injunction (i)
          restraining the Executive from disclosing, in whole or in part, any information
          as described above or from rendering any services to any person, firm,
          corporation, association or other entity to whom such information, in whole or
          in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed; and/or (ii)
          requiring that Executive deliver to Employer all information, documents, notes,
          memoranda and any and all other material as described above upon
          Executive’s leave of the employ of the Employer. Nothing herein shall be
          construed as prohibiting the Employer from pursuing other remedies available to
          the Employer for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
          damages from the Executive. 



    4.8        In
order to protect the Confidential Information of the Company and avoid injury to the
Company, Executive agrees that for two years following the termination of Executive’s
employment with the Company:  



         
          a.       
          Executive will not directly or indirectly solicit the customers or demonstrably
          prospective customers of the Company to purchase products or services which are
          reasonably deemed to be competitive with those of the Company, provided however,
          that Executive’s activities with Colorado Catheter Company are hereby
          specifically excluded from this restriction; 



         
          b.       
          Executive will not directly or indirectly solicit or in any manner encourage
          employees of the Company to leave its employ; and 



         
          c.       
          Executive will not accept employment from or with any company which is directly
          competitive with the Business of the Company. Executive specifically agrees that
          this Section 4.8.c will not place an undue burden on Executive and that
          Executive’s agreement to this Section 4.8.c will not significantly limit
          Executive’s employment opportunities and mobility. 



Page 4 of 10 











         
          d.       
          Executive agrees that these restrictions are reasonable in scope. If any of the
          provisions of this paragraph 4.8 are found by a court of competent jurisdiction
          to be invalid under the laws of the State of Colorado, then this paragraph shall
          be deemed enforceable to the maximum extent permissible under Colorado law. 



ARTICLE 5

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 



    5.1

Works. Executive and Employer agree and acknowledge that in the course of Executive’s

          2.       
          the sale by Employer of substantially all of its assets; 



         
          
          3.

          permanent or temporary) if: (i) he is disabled as defined in a disability
          insurance policy purchased by or for the benefit of the Executive; or (ii) if no
          such policy is in effect, he is incapacitated to such an extent that he is
          unable to perform substantially all of his duties for Employer that he performed
          prior to such incapacitation. 



         
          d.

          hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the Employer shall have
          “Cause” to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder upon
          the following: (i) the continued failure by the Executive substantially to
          perform his duties hereunder (other than any such failure resulting from the
          Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after demand for
          substantial performance is delivered by the Employer and Executive fails to
          substantially perform in the 30 days following receipt of Employer’s
          demand; or (ii) misconduct by the Executive which is materially injurious to the
          Employer, monetarily or otherwise; or (iii) the willful violation by the
          Executive of the provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, no
          act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall be considered
          “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, not in good faith and
          without reasonable belief by him that his action or omission was in the best
          interest of the Employer. 



    6.2        Notice
of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Employer or
by the Executive (other than termination pursuant to subsection 6.1.b above) shall be
communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party.  



    6.3        Date
of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if the Executive’s
employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death; (ii) if the Executive’s
employment is terminated for Cause, the date on which a Notice of Termination is received
by the Executive; and (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any
other reason stated above, the date specified in a Notice of Termination by Employer or
Executive, which date shall be no less than 30 days following the date on which Notice of
Termination is given.  



    6.4        Compensation
Upon Termination.  



         
          a.       
          Following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1.a, the
          Executive shall be entitled to compensation only through the Date of
          Termination. 



         
          b.       
          Following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1.b, Employer
          shall pay to Executive’s estate the compensation which would otherwise be
          payable to Executive to the end of the month in which his death occurs. This
          payment shall be in addition to life insurance benefits, if any, paid to
          Executive’s estate under policies for which the Employer pays all premiums
          and Executive’s estate is the beneficiary. It will also include all rights
          and obligations of Employer under the Stock Option Agreement appended hereto in
          the Form of Exhibit A. 



Page 6 of 10 











         
          c.       
          In the event of permanent disability of the Executive as described in Section
          6.1.c, if Employer elects to terminate this Agreement, Executive shall be
          entitled to receive compensation and benefits through the Date of Termination;
          any such payment, however, shall be reduced by disability insurance benefits, if
          any, paid to Executive under policies (other than group policies) for which
          Employer pays all premiums and Executive is the beneficiary. 



         
          d.       
          If Executive is terminated by Employer for any reason other than Death,
          Disability or Cause as set forth in this Article 6, then Executive is entitled
          to a severance payment equal to one year salary under this Agreement. 



    6.5        Remedies.
Any termination of this Agreement shall not prejudice any other remedy to which the
Employer or Executive may be entitled, either at law, equity, or under this Agreement.  



ARTICLE 7 
INDEMNIFICATION 



    7.1        To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Employer agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold Executive harmless from any and all claims, actions, costs, expenses, damages and
liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, hereafter or
