|shall not divulge to any third person the nature of and/or contents of any of the foregoing or of any other oral or written information to which he may have access or with which for any reason he may become familiar, except as disclosure shall be necessary in the performance of his duties; and upon the termination of his employment with PHI , he shall leave with or return to PHI  all originals and copies of the foregoing then in his possession, whether prepared by the Executive or by others.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|(d)      Duty to Keep Company Informed.  In order to ensure that PHI and the Company may retain the benefit of the Restrictive Covenants, the Executive agrees to notify PHI of any employment or retention as consultant that he may enter into which may be precluded by this Agreement, and to provide specific information upon request regarding the Executive's activities.  In the event Executive provides such notice and information at least 30 days prior to the commencement of such employment or consultancy, PHI shall respond to such Executive within 30 days (or if later, within 30 days after additional information has been submitted by the Executive in response to a request for such information) regarding the Company's initial determination regarding whether such employment or consultancy falls within the scope of the Restrictive Covenants.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|3.2.      Acknowledgments.  The Executive acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of PHI and its affiliates and that, in the absence of such restrictions; PHI would not enter into this Agreement.  Therefore, the Executive acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are entered into in order to induce PHI to make the payment described in Section 2.  The Executive further acknowledges that the duration and geographic scope of Section 3.1(a) are reasonable given the nature of PHI's business and the position of authority and responsibility that the Executive holds within PHI.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|3.3.      Rights and Remedies Upon Breach.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|(a)      Specific Enforcement.  The Executive acknowledges that any breach by him, willfully or otherwise, of the Restrictive Covenants will cause continuing and irreparable injury to PHI for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy.  The Executive shall not, in any action or proceeding to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, assert the claim or defense that such an adequate remedy at law exists.  In the event of any such breach by the Executive, PHI  shall have the right to enforce the Restrictive Covenants by seeking injunctive or other relief in any court, without any requirement that a bond or other security be posted, and this Agreement shall not in any way limit remedies of law or in equity otherwise available to PHI .  If an action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|(b)      Extension of Restrictive Period.

This Agreement may not be changed or modified, except by an Agreement in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|4.4.      Waiver.  Any waiver by either party of any breach of any term or condition in this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach of such term or condition or of any other term or condition, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof or constitute or be deemed a waiver or release of any other rights, in law or in equity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|4.5.      Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Delaware without regard to the application of the principles of conflicts of laws.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|4.6.      Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|4.7.      Section Headings.  The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation.
