 6. Confidential Information. 
  
 (a) Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that in the course of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will become familiar with the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ trade secrets and with other confidential and proprietary Confidential Information.
  
 (i) Confidential Information and Company Property. Executive acknowledges that the Company, as well as its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective successors (hereinafter collectively, “Company”) possess certain Confidential Information which has been and may be revealed to or learned by Executive during her employment with Company. Executive acknowledges that the term “Confidential Information” includes all information that has or could have commercial value or other utility in Company’s Business, or the unauthorized disclosure of which could be detrimental to the Company’s interests, whether or not such information is specifically identified as Confidential Information by Company.
  
 (ii) Company’s Business. Executive acknowledges that the Company’s “Business” includes all businesses in which Company is planning or preparing to engage in and all businesses in which Company is currently engaged, including but not limited to developing and distributing a cyber threat intelligence application that integrates with top end security platforms to gather, analyze, and proactively identify threats to an enterprise network, as well as other similar businesses that the Company may enter, plan to enter, or prepare to enter subsequent to the date that this Agreement is executed. 
  
 	 
	3
	

	 

  
 (iii) Confidential Information Defined. “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, any and all information, whether or not meeting the legal definition of a trade secret, concerning Company’s actual, planned or contemplated: (i) marketing plans, business plans, strategies, forecasts, budgets, projections and costs; (ii) personnel information; (iii) customer, vendor and supplier lists; (iv) customer, vendor and supplier needs, transaction histories, contacts, volumes, characteristics, agreements and prices; (v) promotions, operations, sales, marketing, and research and development; (vi) business operations, internal structures and financial affairs; (vii) software and operating systems and procedures; (viii) pricing structure of Company’s services and products; (ix) proposed services and products; (x) contracts with other parties; and (xi) performance characteristics of Company’s products. Confidential Information does not include information that has become widely known to the public other than through the improper disclosure of Executive. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, however, Confidential Information includes any and all information that Company is obligated to maintain as confidential. During the term of Executive's employment with the Company and thereafter, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, use or disclose to anyone, or authorize disclosure or use of, any of the Confidential Information revealed to, learned by or created by Executive during the course of her employment with Company, unless such use or disclosure is both consistent with Company’s obligations and is for the sole purpose of carrying out Executive’s duties to Company. Executive further agrees that she will take all reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information.
  
 (iv) Company Property. Executive acknowledges that Confidential Information is essential to Company’s Business. Executive agrees that at the cessation of her employment she will return to Company immediately any and all Company property and documents and other electronic or hard copy media containing Confidential Information (and all copies thereof) in Executive’s possession, custody or control. Company’s property includes but is not limited to all financial books, records, instruments and documents; customer lists; data; reports; programs; software; hardware; tapes; rolodexes; telephone and address books; card decks; listings; programming; customer files and records; and any and all other instruments, records and documents recorded or stored on any medium whatsoever relating or pertaining, directly or indirectly, to corporations, governmental entities and other persons and entities with whom Company has or has had contractual relations, the services or products provided by Company, or Company’s Business or business affairs.
  
 (v) Required Disclosure. If Executive is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other process) to disclose Confidential Information, Executive will immediately notify Company of such request or requirement so that Company may take any action deemed by Company to be necessary or advisable to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information. Unless Company waives the protections of this Agreement in writing, Executive agrees to take all lawful steps to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and to cooperate fully with Company’s efforts to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, including but not limited to, seeking a protective order and refusing to produce such Confidential Information unless compelled to do so by a final order which has been upheld by the highest appellate court having jurisdiction over the matter. If Executive is ultimately compelled to disclose Confidential Information, Executive agrees to take all lawful efforts to limit the dissemination of, and maintain the confidentiality of, the Confidential Information. The Company agrees to reimburse Executive for reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in complying with this Section.
  
 (b) Permitted Conduct. Nothing in this Agreement, restricts or prohibits Executive from initiating communications directly with, responding to any inquiries from, providing testimony before, providing Confidential Information to, reporting possible violations of law or regulation to, or from filing a claim or assisting with an investigation directly with, a self-regulatory authority or a government agency or entity, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. Moreover, Executive is hereby advised that federal law provides that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret under either of the following conditions: (i) where the disclosure is made (A) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) where the disclosure is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. See 18 U.S.C. §1833(b)(1). Federal law also provides that an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (x) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (y) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. See 18 U.S.C. §1833(b)(2).

 7. Termination.
  
 7.1 Death & Disability of Executive. In the event of the Executive’s death during the Employment Term, this Agreement shall terminate immediately. If, during the Term, the Executive shall suffer a “Disability” within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment. Section 22(e)(3) provides, in relevant part: “An individual is permanently and totally disabled if he is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.” In the event the Executive is terminated due to death or Disability, the Executive (or his estate in the event of his death) shall be receive (i) all of Executive’s unpaid Salary and a severance benefit of three (3) months pay, (ii) all Stock Option Grants pursuant to Section 5(c)(i), including the unvested portion, and all vested Performance Stock Units pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii), (iii) all reimbursable expenses and benefits owing to Executive through the date of Executive’s death together with any benefits payable under any life insurance program in which Executive is a participant, if applicable, and (iv) Executive’s estate shall be entitled to pro-rata share of the Bonus at the end the respective fiscal year.
  
 7.2 Termination With Cause By Company. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time during the Term for “Cause” upon written notice to Executive, upon which termination shall be effective immediately. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means the following, without limitation: 
  
 (a) Willful misconduct or willful failure by the Executive to perform his responsibilities to the Company or
  
 (b) The conviction for any major felony involving moral turpitude that reflects adversely upon the standing of the Company in the community.
  
 7.3 Termination Without Cause By Company. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time during the Term without “Cause” upon 60 days written notice to Executive. 
  
 7.4 Termination By Executive for Good Reason. Executive may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing the Company 30 days’ written notice, with or without “Good Reason.” For purposes hereof, the term “Good Reason” shall exist upon (i) a material diminution in the Executives’ Salary; (ii) a material diminution in the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (iii) a material change in geographic location at which the Executive performs services; or (iv) any material breach by the Company of this Agreement. “Good Reason Process” means the following series of actions: (i) the Executive reasonably determines in good faith that Good Reason exists, (ii) the Executive notifies the Company or the acquiring or succeeding corporation (if applicable) in writing of the existence of Good Reason within 60 days of the occurrence of the event that gave rise to the existence of Good Reason, (iii) the Executive cooperates in good faith with the Company’s (or the acquiring or succeeding corporations, if applicable) efforts to remedy the conditions that gave rise to the existence of Good Reason for a period of 30 days following such notice (such 30 day period, the “Cure Period”), (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, Good Reason continues to exist and (v) the Executive terminates his employment within 30 days after the end of the Cure Period. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company or the acquiring or succeeding corporation successfully remedies the conditions that gave rise to the existence of Good Reason during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have existed. In the event the Executive terminates employment under this Agreement for Good Reason, the Executive shall be eligible to receive the severance benefits set forth in Section 7.6(b).
  
 	 
	5
	

	 

  
 Section 7.5 Termination by the Executive without Good Reason. The Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company without Good Reason at any time subject to the Executive’s provision of thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the Company (the “Applicable Notice Period”), provided, however, that the Company may, in its sole discretion, in lieu of all or part of the Applicable Notice Period, pay the Executive an amount equal to the Salary that would otherwise have been payable to the Executive had the Executive remained employed for the duration of the Applicable Notice Period. In such instance, the Executive’s termination will become effective on the date set forth in a written notice of termination to be provided by the Company (the “Early Termination Date”), and the Executive will be paid an amount equal to the base Salary the Executive would have received had the Executive remained employed by the Company between the Early Termination Date and the end of the Applicable Notice Period (the “Early Termination Payment”), with the Early Termination Payment to be made no later than the 30th day following the end of the Applicable Notice Period.
