documentation.

e. RouteCloud Personnel: The employees and consultants specified in Section 5.

f. Net Gain: Net Gain is defined as the net gain recognized by TASER from the

non-recurring engineering expenses, capitalized Protector costs, and accumulated
Protector
operating losses to date.

 

 

 

g. Net Sales: Net Sales is defined as the net revenue recognized by TASER from a
sale of Protector Products net of discounts, freight and shipping, sales tax,
returns, and sales commissions paid by TASER.

	2.	 	Termination of Joint Venture Agreement. TASER provided RouteCloud with written
notice on September 29, 2010 of termination of the Joint Venture Agreement executed
between the parties dated January 13, 2010 and the Joint Venture Agreement will be
considered terminated effective on September 29, 2010 upon the execution of this
Agreement.

	 
	3.	 	Operational Responsibility. TASER agrees to assume and be responsible for
developing, marketing, selling and supporting the Protector Driving product and, at
TASER’s option, the Protector Mobile product, from and after the Transition Date,
subject to TASER’s right to discontinue such development, marketing, sales and
support at TASER’s sole option at any time for any reason.

	 
	4.	 	Protector Expenses. TASER agrees to reimburse RouteCloud the sum of $75,000 for

	5.	 	Hiring of RouteCloud Employees and Consultants. TASER agrees to offer employment
or a consulting arrangement to the following RouteCloud Personnel, in TASER’s sole
discretion, under terms and conditions acceptable to TASER:

	 	a.	 	Peter Mueller

	 
	 	b.	 	Gary O’Donnell

	 
	 	c.	 	C.J. Morton

	 
	 	d.	 	Chris Deutsch

	 
	 	e.	 	Cott Lang

	 
	 	f.	 	Any other RouteCloud employee/consultant as of the Transition

of work as determined by TASER in TASER’s sole discretion.

 

 

 

	6.	 	Dan Kennedy. RouteCloud will make Dan Kennedy available as an independent

business methods, business policies, memoranda, reports, records, computer
retained information, notes, or financial information. Confidential

to (i) only those authorized employees of such party whose duties justify
their need to know such information and who have been clearly informed of
their obligation to maintain the confidential and/or proprietary status of
such Confidential Information; and (ii) only those third parties required

Agreement.

	 
	 	d.	 	Certain Exceptions. The receiving party may disclose
Confidential Information of the disclosing party to the extent such
disclosure is required by law, court order or order of a governmental
agency with jurisdiction; provided that the receiving party notifies the
disclosing party prior to such disclosure and gives the disclosing party a
reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or to contest such
requirement.

	 
	 	e.	 	Survival. Notwithstanding termination or expiration of this
Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that their obligations of
confidentiality with respect to Confidential Information shall continue in
effect for a total period of five (5) years from the termination of this
Agreement.

	11.	 	Non-Competition Covenant. RouteCloud, Kennedy and WDK agree that, during the term
of this Agreement and for the ten-year period following the termination of this
Agreement or for as long as TASER is in the business of selling, licensing or
servicing Protector Driving Technology or Products and/or Protector Mobile
Technology or Products, whichever is shorter, they will not compete, either directly
or indirectly, with the Protector Driving Technology and resulting products for all
markets and applications and, in addition, the Protector Mobile Technology for
guardian phone applications and also for any law enforcement applications. In the
event that this Non-Competition Covenant expires and RouteCloud, Kennedy and WDK use
Protector Driving Technology for any market or application or Protector Mobile
Technology for guardian
phone applications or for any law enforcement application, RouteCloud, Kennedy and WDK
agree to pay TASER royalties in the amount of 7% of the Net Sales or Net Gain from the
sale or license of such technology or products.

 

 

 

	12.	 	Miscellaneous

	 	a.	 	Survival. Section 2 (Termination of Joint Venture Agreement),
Section 8 (Intellectual Property), Section 10 (Confidentiality), Section
11 (Non-Competition Covenant) and this Section 12 (Miscellaneous) shall
survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

	 
	 	b.	 	Force Majeure. No party will be liable for, or will be
considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement on account
of, any delay or failure to perform as required by this Agreement as a
result of any causes or conditions that are beyond such party’s reasonable
control and that such party is unable to overcome through the exercise of
commercially reasonable diligence. If any force majeure event occurs, the
affected party(ies) will give prompt written notice to the other
party(ies) and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the
impact of the event.

	 
	 	c.	 	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, USA
applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly therein.

	 
	 	d.	 	Severability. If any provision of this agreement shall be
unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall
be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not affect the validity
and enforceability of any remaining provisions
