                11. 

              	
                Restrictive
      Covenant.

              


      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                a.

              	
                Term of Restrictive Covenant.
      The Executive hereby acknowledges and recognizes that, during the
      Employment Period, the Executive shall be privy to trade secrets and
      Confidential Information critical to the Company’s business and the
      Executive further acknowledges and recognizes that the Company would find
      it extremely difficult or impossible to replace the Executive and,
      accordingly, the Executive agrees that, in consideration of the benefits
      to be received by the Executive hereunder, the Executive shall not, from
      and after the date hereof, throughout the Employment Period, and for a
      period of 12 months following the termination of the Employment Period (i)
      directly or indirectly engage in the development, production, marketing or
      sale of products that compete (or, upon commercialization, would compete)
      with products of the Company being developed (so long as such development
      has not been abandoned), marketed or sold at the time of the termination
      of the Employment Period (such business or activity being herein referred
      to as a “Competing
      Business”) whether such engagement shall
      be as an officer, director, owner, employee, partner, affiliate or other
      participant in any Competing Business, (ii) assist others in engaging in
      any Competing Business in the manner described in the foregoing clause
      (i), or (iii) induce other employees of the Company or any subsidiary
      thereof to terminate their employment with the Company or any subsidiary
      thereof or engage in any Competing Business or hire any employees of the
      Company or any subsidiary unless such persons have not been employees of
      the Company for at least 12 months.

              


      

       

      
        
          	
                	
                  b.

                	
                  Sufficient Consideration.
      The Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit
      the ability of the Executive to earn a livelihood in a business similar to
      the business of the Company, but nevertheless believes that the Executive
      has received and shall receive sufficient consideration and other
      benefits, as an employee of the Company and as otherwise provided
      hereunder, to justify such restrictions which, in any event (given the
      education, skills and ability of the Executive), the Executive believes
      would not prevent the Executive from earning a
  living.

                


        

      

       

      
        	
                12.

              	
                Non-Disparagement. The
      Executive shall not engage in conduct, through word, act, gesture or other
      means, or disclose any Information to the public or any third party which
      (i) directly or indirectly discredits or disparages in whole or in part
      the Company, its subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates and/or successors as
      well as the products and the respective officers, directors, stockholders
      and employees of each of them; (ii) is detrimental to the reputation,
      character or Standing of these entities, their products or any of their
      respective officers, directors, stockholders and/or employees; or (iii)
      which generally reflects negatively on the management decisions, strategy
      or decision-making of these
entities.

                13.

              	
                Company Right to Inventions.
      The Executive shall promptly disclose, grant and assign to the
      Company, for its sole use and benefit, any and all inventions,
      improvements, technical information and suggestions relating in any way to
      the business of the Company which the Executive may develop or acquire
      during the Employment Period (whether or not during usual working hours),
      together with all patent applications, letters patent, copyrights and
      reissues thereof that may at any time be granted for or upon any such
      invention, improvement or technical information. In connection therewith:
      (i) the Executive shall, without charge, but at the expense of the
      Company, promptly at all times hereafter execute and deliver such
      applications, assignments, descriptions and other instruments as may be
      necessary or proper in the opinion of the Company to vest title to any
      such inventions, improvements, technical information, patent applications,
      patents, copyrights or reissues thereof in the Company and to enable it to
      obtain and maintain the entire right and title thereto throughout the
      world, and (ii) the Executive shall render to the Company, at its expense
      (including a reasonable payment for the time involved in case the
      Executive is not then in its employ), all such assistance as it may
      require in the prosecution of applications for said patents, copyrights or
      reissues thereof, in the prosecution or defense of interferences which may
      be declared involving any said applications, patents or copyrights and in
      any litigation in which the Company may be involved relating to any such
      patents, inventions, improvements or technical
  information.

                    Enforcement. It is the
      desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this
      Agreement be enforceable to the füllest extent permissible under the laws
      and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is
      sought. Accordingly, to the extent that a restriction contained in this
      Agreement is more restrictive than permitted by the laws of any
      jurisdiction where this Agreement may be subject to review and
      interpretation, the terms of such restriction, for the purpose only of the
      operation of such restriction in such jurisdiction, shall be the maximum
      restriction allowed by the laws of such jurisdiction and such restriction
      shall be deemed to have been revised accordingly
  herein.

                Remedies;
      Survival.

              


      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                a.

              	
                Injunctive Relief. The
      Executive acknowledges and understands that the provisions of the
      covenants contained in Sections 11, 12, 13 and 14 hereof, the violation of
      which cannot be accurately compensated for in damages by an action at law,
      are of crucial importance to the Company, and that the breach or
      threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause the
      Company irreparable harm. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by
      the Executive of the provisions of Sections 11, 12, 13 or 14 hereof, the
      Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the Executive from
      such breach. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting
      the Company from pursuing any other remedies available for any breach or
      threatened breach of this
Agreement.

              


      

       

      
        	
                 
      

              	
                b.

              	
                Survival.
      Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
      contrary, the provisions of the Sections 3, 9, and 11 through 17 hereof
      shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement
      until, by their terms, such provisions are no longer
      operative.

                Waiver of Breach. The

                21.

              	
                Entire Agreement; Amendments.
      This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties
      with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
      agreements or understandings among the parties with respect thereof. This
      Agreement may be amended only by an agreement in writing signed by the
      parties hereto.

                Headings. The section

                23.

              	
                Severability. Any
      provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
      jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
      of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
      provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
      jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
      in any other jurisdiction.

              


      

       

      
        	
                24.

              	
                409A Compliance. The
      intent of the Executive and the Company is that the severance and other
      benefits payable to the Executive under this Agreement not be deemed
      “deferred compensation” under, and shall otherwise comply with, Section
      409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Executive and
      the Company agree to use reasonable best efforts to amend the terms of
      this Agreement from time to time as may be necessary to avoid the
      imposition of liability under Section 409A of the Code in any manner that
      does not materially alter the substantive rights and obligations of the
      parties hereunder.

              


      

       

      
        	
                25.

              	
                Executive’s Acknowledgement.
      The Executive acknowledges (a) that the Executive has had the
      opportunity to consult with independent counsel of his own choice
      concerning this Agreement and (b) that the Executive has read and
      understands the Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect and has
      entered into it freely based on the Executive’s own
    judgment.

              


      

       

      
        	
                26.

              	
                Assignment. This
      Agreement is personal in its nature and the parties hereto shall not,
      without the consent of the other, assign or transfer this Agreement or any
      rights or obligations hereunder; provided, that the provisions hereof
      shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, each successor of the
      Company, whether by merger, consolidation, transfer of all or
      substantially all of its assets or
otherwise.

              


      

       

      
        	
                27.

              	
                Counterparts. This
      Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall
      for all purposes constitute one agreement which is binding on all of the
      parties hereto.
